    DPPH (=,2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl,=,2,2-Diphenyl-1-(2,4,6-trinitrophenyl)hydrazyl) Radical-Scavenging Reaction of Protocatechuic Acid Esters (=,3,4-Dihydroxybenzoates) in Alcohols: Formation of Bis-alcohol Adduct

    HELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 4 2006
    Shizuka Saito
    Abstract Protocatechuic acid esters (=,3,4-dihydroxybenzoates) scavenge ca. 5,equiv. of radical in alcoholic solvents, whereas they consume only 2,equiv. of radical in nonalcoholic solvents. While the high radical-scavenging activity of protocatechuic acid esters in alcoholic solvents as compared to that in nonalcoholic solvents is due to a nucleophilic addition of an alcohol molecule at C(2) of an intermediate o -quinone structure, thus regenerating a catechol (=,benzene-1,2-diol) structure, it is still unclear why protocatechuic acid esters scavenge more than 4,equiv. of radical (C(2) refers to the protocatechuic acid numbering). Therefore, to elucidate the oxidation mechanism beyond the formation of the C(2) alcohol adduct, 3,4-dihydroxy-2-methoxybenzoic acid methyl ester (4), the C(2) MeOH adduct, which is an oxidation product of methyl protocatechuate (1) in MeOH, was oxidized by the DPPH radical (=,2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) or o -chloranil (=,3,4,5,6-tetrachlorocyclohexa-3,5-diene-1,2-dione) in CD3OD/(D6)acetone 3,:,1). The oxidation mixtures were directly analyzed by NMR. Oxidation with both the DPPH radical and o -chloranil produced a C(2),C(6) bis-methanol adduct (7), which could scavenge additional 2,equiv. of radical. Calculations of LUMO electron densities of o -quinones corroborated the regioselective nucleophilic addition of alcohol molecules with o -quinones. Our results strongly suggest that the regeneration of a catechol structure via a nucleophilic addition of an alcohol molecule with a o -quinone is a key reaction for the high radical-scavenging activity of protocatechuic acid esters in alcoholic solvents.

    An Arabidopsis porB porC double mutant lacking light-dependent NADPH:protochlorophyllide oxidoreductases B and C is highly chlorophyll-deficient and developmentally arrested

    THE PLANT JOURNAL, Issue 2 2003
    Geneviève Frick
    Summary A key reaction in the biosynthesis of chlorophylls (Chls) a and b from cyanobacteria through higher plants is the strictly light-dependent reduction of protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) a to chlorophyllide (Chlide) a. Angiosperms, unlike other photosynthetic organisms, rely exclusively upon this mechanism to reduce Pchlide and hence require light to green. In Arabidopsis, light-dependent Pchlide reduction is mediated by three structurally related but differentially regulated NADPH:Pchlide oxidoreductases, denoted as PORA, PORB, and PORC. The PORA and PORB genes, but not PORC, are strongly expressed early in seedling development. In contrast, expression of PORB and PORC, but not PORA, is observed in older seedlings and adult plants. We have tested the hypothesis that PORB and PORC govern light-dependent Chl biosynthesis throughout most of the plant development by identifying porB and porC mutants of Arabidopsis, the first higher plant por mutants characterized. The porB-1 and porC-1 mutants lack the respective POR transcripts and specific POR isoforms because of the interruption of the corresponding genes by a derivative of the maize Dissociation (Ds) transposable element. Single por mutants, grown photoperiodically, display no obvious phenotypes at the whole plant or chloroplast ultrastructural levels, although the porB-1 mutant has less extensive etioplast inner membranes. However, a light-grown porB-1 porC-1 double mutant develops a seedling-lethal xantha phenotype at the cotyledon stage, contains only small amounts of Chl a, and possesses chloroplasts with mostly unstacked thylakoid membranes. PORB and PORC thus seem to play redundant roles in maintaining light-dependent Chl biosynthesis in green plants, and are together essential for growth and development. [source]

    Tetrahedral Oligothiophenes; Synthesis, X-ray Analysis, and Optoelectronic Properties of Highly Symmetrical, 3D-Branched Oligothiophenes

    CHEMISTRY - AN ASIAN JOURNAL, Issue 12 2008
    Kouzou Matsumoto Dr.
    Abstract Tetrakis(bithienyl)methane and tetrakis(terthienyl)methane have been synthesized from tetrakis(2-thienyl)methane by use of Suzuki,Miyaura coupling as a key reaction. Their trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives are also synthesized. X-ray analysis reveals that each oligothiophene moiety tends to adopt anti -conformations and show relatively small torsion angles between the adjacent thiophene rings. While the longest absorption maxima of these tetrakis(oligothienyl)methanes exhibit only a slight bathochromic shift compared to the corresponding linear oligothiophene derivative, tetrakis(bithienyl)methane and its TMS derivative exhibit an appreciable red-shift in their fluorescence spectra. The intramolecular interaction between thienyl groups of tetrakis(2-thienyl)methane is supported by DFT calculation. [source]


    Studies Directed Towards the Total Synthesis of (,)-Dictyostatin

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 11 2010
    Jhillu S. Yadav
    Abstract The stereoselective synthesis of the three major fragments (C1,C9, C10,C17, and C19,C26) of an antimitotic marine macrolide, (,)-dictyostatin, has been achieved with a desymmetrization strategy and Oppolzer syn and anti aldol protocols as the key reactions. Takai olefination and Sonogashira coupling reactions were successfully utilized to establish the 2Z,4E -dienoate portion of the C1,C9 fragment and Stille coupling for the Z -diene core of C19,C26.

    Numerical study on NO formation in CH4,O2,N2 diffusion flame diluted with CO2

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENERGY RESEARCH, Issue 2 2005
    Dong-Jin Hwang
    Abstract Numerical study with momentum-balanced boundary conditions has been conducted to grasp chemical effects of added CO2, to either fuel- or oxidizer-side on flame structure and NO emission behaviour in CH4,O2,N2 diffusion flames. Cautious investigation is made for the comparison among the behaviours of principal chain branching and important H-removal key reactions. This describes successfully the reason why flame temperatures for fuel-side dilution are higher than those for oxidizer-side dilution. The role of the principal chain branching reaction is also recognized to be important even in the change of major flame structure caused by chemical effects. The importantly contributing reaction steps to NO production are examined. The reduced production rates of thermal NO and prompt NO due to chemical effects are much more remarkable for fuel-side dilution. It is also found that the reaction step, H+NO+M=HNO+M plays a decisive role of the formation and destruction of prompt NO. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source]


    Biologically Active Compounds through Catalysis: Efficient Synthesis of N -(Heteroarylcarbonyl)- N,-(arylalkyl)piperazines

    CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 3 2004
    Kamal Kumar Dr.
    Abstract A practical route for the synthesis of new biologically active 5-HT2,A receptor antagonists has been developed. In only three catalytic steps, this class of central nervous system (CNS) active compounds can be synthesized efficiently with high diversity. As the initial step, an anti -Markovnikov addition of amines to styrenes provides an easy route to N -(arylalkyl)piperazines, which constitute the core structure of the active molecules. Here, base-catalyzed hydroamination reactions of styrenes with benzylated piperazine proceeded in high yield even at room temperature. After catalytic debenzylation, the free amines were successfully carbonylated with different aromatic and heteroaromatic halides and carbon monoxide to yield the desired compounds in good to excellent yields. The two key reactions, base-catalyzed hydroamination of styrenes and palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of haloarenes/heterocycles, showed tolerance towards various functional groups, thereby demonstrating the potential to synthesize a wide variety of new derivatives of this promising class of pharmaceuticals.
