Fully Vacuum-Processed Wide Band Gap Mixed-Halide Perovskite Solar Cells
2017
Methylammonium lead mixed-halide perovskites MAPb(BrxI1–x)3 are promising materials for the preparation of tandem devices. When exposed to light, MAPb(BrxI1–x)3 segregates in iodide- and bromide-rich phases, limiting the achievable photovoltage and hence the attainable device efficiency. To date only solution-processed mixed-halide perovskites have been demonstrated. We present fully vacuum-deposited mixed-halide perovskite thin films with band gap of 1.72 and 1.87 eV, prepared by controlling the deposition rates of the different halide precursors. When used in thin-film devices, these materials lead to power conversion efficiencies of 15.9 and 10.5%, respectively, which are among the highe…
Tandem asymmetric Michael reaction-intramolecular Michael addition. An easy entry to chiral fluorinated 1,4-dihydropyridines.
2010
A novel one-pot tandem asymmetric Hantzsch-type process has been employed to generate fluorinated 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) as single diastereoisomers. It involves the condensation of (R)-(+)-allyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, fluorinated nitriles, and alkyl propiolates, giving access to a new family of enantiomerically pure fluorine-containing 1,4-DHPs.
A new strategy for the synthesis of fluorinated 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones
2009
A new family of 3,4-dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs) bearing fluorinated substituents at C6 have been prepared from gem-difluorinated nitriles, alkyl 3-butenoates and iso(thio)cyanates. This novel Biginelli-type process relies on the gamma-addition of the ester-derived enolate to fluorinated nitriles. A tandem nucleophilic addition aza-Michael reaction sequence completes the synthetic process. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
Tandem Reactions of 1,2,4-Oxadiazoles with Allylamines
2011
A reaction of 3-chloro-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with allylamine and diallylamine has been investigated. 3,3a,4,5-Tetrahydroisoxazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidines are produced through a tandem ANRORC/[3 + 2]cycloaddition pathway consisting of the addition of allylamine to the 1,2,4-oxadiazole, followed by ring opening, nitrone formation, and finally cycloaddition. 3-N-Allylamino-1,2,4-oxadiazoles were also obtained as minor products through a classical SNAr. Conversely, a reaction with diallylamine produces 3-N,N-diallylamino-1,2,4-oxadiazole and imidazoline through tandem SNAr/aziridination and nucleophilic ring opening.
A newin vitroapproach for the simultaneous determination of phase I and phase II enzymatic activities of human hepatocyte preparations
2007
Primary hepatocytes are still the best qualified in vitro system to anticipate drug metabolism in man. Recent advances in hepatocytes cryopreservation have notably increased their use not only for drug metabolism studies, but also for other applications such as cell transplantation. Evaluation of the drug-metabolizing competence of each hepatocytes preparation is needed. To date, the metabolic characterization of hepatocytes preparations relies on the assessment of phase I activities and the role of phase II enzymes receives little attention. A novel approach for the rapid assessment of the metabolic functionality of hepatocytes has been developed. A five-probe cocktail was used to simultan…
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of TN and T Antigen Glycopeptide Sequences of Tumor- Associated MUC-1 Using S-Pent-4-enyl Thioglycosides.
2010
The synthesis of glycopeptides 34 and 38 with tumor associated TN and T antigen structure containing a partial sequence of the tandem repeat unit of the polymorphic epithelial mucin MUC-1 were achieved via fragment condensations. Electrophilic activation of S-pent-4-enyl thioglycosides was appiled for the construction of O-glycosyl amino and saccharide building blocks.
Stereocontrolled solid-phase synthesis of fluorinated partially-modified retropeptides via tandem aza-Michael/enolate-protonation
2003
N-Acylation of Wang resin-bound l-α-amino acids with 2-trifluoromethyl-propenoyl chloride, followed by asymmetric tandem aza-Michael/enolate-protonation by a series of l-α-amino esters and final release from the resin, afforded a representative library of partially-modified retropeptides incorporating a stereodefined trifluoroalanine surrogate. The stereocontrol can be dramatically improved (up to 15:1) by using apolar solvents like carbon tetrachloride and DABCO as base.
ChemInform Abstract: Microwave-Assisted Tandem Organocatalytic Peptide-Coupling Intramolecular aza-Michael Reaction: α,β-Unsaturated N-Acyl Pyrazoles…
2015
Conjugated N-acyl pyrazoles are successfully employed in the organocatalytic enantioselective intramolecular aza-Michael reaction as ester surrogates.
A fast algorithm for the exhaustive analysis of 12-nucleotide-long DNA sequences. Applications to human genomics
2004
We have developed a new algorithm that allows the exhaustive determination of words of up to 12 nucleotides in DNA sequences. It is fast enough as to be used at a genomic scale running on a standard personal computer. As an example, we apply the algorithm to compare the number of all 12-nucleotide long words in human chromosomes 21 and 22, each of them more than 33 million nucleotides long. Sequences that are chromosome specific are detected in less than 2 minutes, being analyzed any pair of chromosomes at a rate of 45 millions of nucleotides (45 Mb) per minute. The size of the words is long enough as to allow further analyses of all significant sequences using conventional database searche…
Synthetic Glycopeptides of the Tandem Repeat Sequence of the Epithelial Mucin MUC4 with Tumour-associated Carbohydrate Antigens
2004
Glycohexadecapeptides representing the tandem repeat sequence of the epithelial mucin MUC4 were prepared by applying a solid-phase methodology. The required glycosyl amino acid building blocks containing the tumour-associated saccharide antigens T N -, T,- sialyl-T N , (2,6)- and (2,3)-sialyl-T were synthesized according to a straightforward biomimetic strategy by stepwise extension of the saccharide side chain of a Fmoc-protected galactosamine threonine tert-butyl ester.
