Automated Synthesis of Application-layer Connectors from Automata-based Specifications

2019

Abstract Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing, and the Internet of Things, promote dynamic interaction among heterogeneous systems. To achieve this vision, interoperability among heterogeneous systems represents a key enabler, and mediators are often built to solve protocol mismatches. Many approaches propose the synthesis of mediators. Unfortunately, a rigorous characterization of the concept of interoperability is still lacking, hence making hard to assess their applicability and soundness. In this paper, we provide a framework for the synthesis of mediators that allows us to: (i) characterize the conditions for the mediator existence and correctness; and (ii) establish the applicability bo…

PArthENoPE reloaded

2018

We describe the main features of a new and updated version of the program PArthENoPE, which computes the abundances of light elements produced during Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. As the previous first release in 2008, the new one, PArthENoPE 2.0, will be soon publicly available and distributed from the code site, http://parthenope.na.infn.it. Apart from minor changes, which will be also detailed, the main improvements are as follows. The powerful, but not freely accessible, NAG routines have been substituted by ODEPACK libraries, without any significant loss in precision. Moreover, we have developed a Graphical User Interface (GUI) which allows a friendly use of the code and a simpler implemen…

ChemInform Abstract: Enantioselective Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative β,β-Fluoroarylation of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Derivatives.

2016

The site-selective palladium-catalyzed three-component coupling of deactivated alkenes, arylboronic acids, and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide is disclosed herein. The developed methodology establishes a general, modular, and step-economical approach to the stereoselective β-fluorination of α,β-unsaturated systems.

Evaluation of Cyclic Amides as Activating Groups in N-C Bond Cross-Coupling: Discovery of N-Acyl-δ-valerolactams as Effective Twisted Amide Precursor…

2021

The development of efficient methods for facilitating N-C(O) bond activation in amides is an important objective in organic synthesis that permits the manipulation of the traditionally unreactive amide bonds. Herein, we report a comparative evaluation of a series of cyclic amides as activating groups in amide N-C(O) bond cross-coupling. Evaluation of N-acyl-imides, N-acyl-lactams, and N-acyl-oxazolidinones bearing five- and six-membered rings using Pd(II)-NHC and Pd-phosphine systems reveals the relative reactivity order of N-activating groups in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling. The reactivity of activated phenolic esters and thioesters is evaluated for comparison in O-C(O) and S-C(O) cross-c…

Application of Cell Culture for the Production of Bioactive Compounds from Sponges:  Synthesis of Avarol by Primmorphs from Dysidea avara

2000

Among all metazoan phyla, sponges are known to produce the largest number of bioactive compounds. However, until now, only one compound, arabinofuranosyladenine, has been approved for application in humans. One major obstacle is the limited availability of larger quantities of defined sponge starting material. Recently, we introduced the in vitro culture of primmorphs from Suberites domuncula, which contain proliferating cells. Now we have established the primmorph culture also from the marine sponge Dysidea avara and demonstrate that this special form of sponge cell aggregates produces avarol, a sesquiterpenoid hydroquinone, known to display strong cytostatic activity especially against ma…

Synthesis of (-)-Cryptopleurine by Combining Gold(I) Catalysis with a Free Radical Cyclization

2015

(R)-(–)-Cryptopleurine, a highly cytotoxic alkaloid found in Cryptocarya and Boehmeria species, was synthesized in high optical purity using a gold(I)-NHC catalyzed cyclization of an unsymmetrical phenanthrene precursor combined with a free radical cyclization to achieve closure of the C-ring.

The Synthesis and Structure of Palladium 2,4-dimethyl-8-hydroselenoquinolinate

2014

The internal complex palladium 2,4-dimethyl-8- hydroselenoquinolinate Pd[C9H4(CH3)2NSe]2 (I) has been synthesized in the course of study of the complexing activity of 8- hydroselenoquinoline and investigation of the nature of chemical bond metal-selenium in the five-membered metal-containing ring. X-ray diffraction data for I: Monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 9.0092(4), b = 16.3290(7), c = 14.1073(6) A,  = 106.710(2)o, V = 1987.7(2) A3, Z = 4, R1=0.0477, wR2=0.1182 for 4499 reflections (diffractometer Bruker-Nonius KappaCCD, MoK). The crystal structure of the complex I is formed by neutral asymmetric molecules Pd[C9H4(CH3)2NSe]2 in which the central atom palladium is connected bidentic…
