    Asymmetric Cyclopropanation of Optically Active (1-Diethoxyphosphoryl)vinyl p -Tolyl Sulfoxide with Sulfur Ylides: A Rationale for Diastereoselectivity

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2005
    Wanda H. Midura
    Abstract The title sulfoxide (S)-(+)- 1a was found to react with sulfur ylides affording the corresponding cyclopropanes in high yields. With fully deuterated dimethyl(oxo)sulfonium methylide, (CD3)2S(O)CD2, the cyclopropanation reaction occurred in a highly diastereoselective manner producing the cyclopropane 4a - d2 as a major diastereomer in which the newly formed quaternary ,-carbon atom is chiral due to isotopic substitution (CH2 vs. CD2). The diastereomer 4b - d2, having the opposite configuration at the ,-carbon atom, was obtained starting form the 2,2-dideuterio substituted vinyl sulfoxide, (S)-(+)- 1a - d2, and the nondeuterated ylide. The diastereomeric ratio in both reactions was found to be ca. 10:1. The reaction of (S)-(+)- 1a with diphenylsulfonium isopropylide yielded the cyclopropane (+)- 7 as a single diastereomer. X-ray structural studies of the crystalline 1-phosphorylvinyl sulfoxide 9 as well as density functional calculations (B3LYP/6-31G*) on (1-phosphoryl)vinyl sulfoxides revealed the origin of the experimentally observed diastereoselectivities and allowed us to propose a transition state model for the cyclopropanation reaction of chiral 1-phosphorylvinyl sulfoxides.

    Agarose Sols and Gels Revisited

    MACROMOLECULAR SYMPOSIA, Issue 1 2006
    Jean-Michel Guenet
    Abstract Agarose sols have been seen for long as solutions of flexible chains that, on cooling, produce thermoreversible gels through double-helix formation. Investigations of the chain conformation in the sol state by small-angle neutron scattering reveals instead a rigid chain with a very large persistence length (lp,>,9 nm). The chain cross-section radius and mass per unit length correspond to characteristics of helices as those described by Foord and Atkins. These results lead one to a reappraisal of the occurrence of double helices in the gelation process, as they rather suggest a transition of the type loose-single helix,tight single helix. Studies of gels from agarose/water/cosolvent where the cosolvent is Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), Dimethyl Formamide (DMF), and Methyl Formamide (MF) have led one to conclude on the formation of agarose/water/ cosolvent ternary complexes. The contrast variation method by neutron scattering gives further support to this assumption. Finally, determination of the gel nanostructure allows one to account for the two regimes observed for the variation of the elastic modulus vs concentration. [source]


    Transient Osmotic Absorption of Fluid in Microvessels Exposed to Low Concentrations of Dimethyl Sulfoxide

    MICROCIRCULATION, Issue 1 2006
    CATHERINE A. GLASS
    ABSTRACT Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) is a common solvent for pharmacological agents. It is a small, lipophilic molecule thought to be relatively highly permeable through the cell membrane. While measuring the effect of low concentrations of DMSO (0.05,0.5% v/v) on capillary hydraulic conductivity as a vehicle control for pharmacological agents, the authors noticed what appeared to be an unusual transient absorption of fluid across the vessel wall. This absorption occurred during occlusion of the vessel, but dissipated quickly (1.7,8.6 s). The transient reabsorption reappeared upon each successive occlusion. To determine the nature of this transient absorption, the authors have measured the effect of increasing the pressure of the perfusing solution, of the concentration and time of perfusion of DMSO, and of superfusing the DMSO. They found that the absorption rate, but not the filtration rate, was concentration dependent, and was significantly correlated with the osmotic pressure of the DMSO. Moreover, the time taken for completion of the transient, i.e., time to reversal of flow, was inversely proportional to the hydraulic conductivity of the vessel. Furthermore, the transient absorption could be reduced and eventually abolished by increasing the hydrostatic pressure. These results strongly suggested that perfusion with low concentrations of DMSO could set up a significant osmotic pressure gradient across the vessel wall. This proposed mechanism for the absorption was confirmed by the measurement of a significant osmotic reflection coefficient of the vessel wall to DMSO (0.11 ± 0.01). Relatively low concentrations (0.05,0.5%) of DMSO were therefore able to stimulate a significant osmotic transient across the blood vessel walls. [source]


    S -Allyl- L -Cysteine Sulfoxide Inhibits Tumor Necrosis Factor-Alpha Induced Monocyte Adhesion and Intercellular Cell Adhesion Molecule-1 Expression in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

    THE ANATOMICAL RECORD : ADVANCES IN INTEGRATIVE ANATOMY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY, Issue 3 2010
    Chai Hui
    Abstract Garlic and its water-soluble allyl sulfur-containing compound, S -Allyl- L -cysteine Sulfoxide (ACSO), have shown antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities, inhibiting the development of atherosclerosis. However, little is known about the mechanism(s) underlying the therapeutic effect of ACSO in inhibiting the formation of atherosclerostic lesion. This study aimed to investigate whether ACSO could modulate tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-,)-induced expression of intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1, monocyte adhesion and TNF-,-mediated signaling in human umbilical vein endothelial cells. While TNF-, promoted the intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 mRNA transcription in a dose- and time-dependent manner, ACSO treatment significantly reduced the levels of TNF-,-induced intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 mRNA transcripts (P < 0.01). Furthermore, ACSO dramatically inhibited TNF-, triggered adhesion of THP-1 monocytes to endothelial cells and porcine coronary artery rings. Moreover, ACSO mitigated TNF-, induced depolarization of mitochondrial membrane potential and overproduction of superoxide anion, associated with the inhibition of NOX4, a subunit of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate-oxidase, mRNA transcription. In addition, ACSO also inhibited TNF-,-induced phosphorylation of JNK, ERK1/2 and I,B, but not p38. Apparently, ACSO inhibited proinflammatory cytokine-induced adhesion of monocytes to endothelial cells by inhibiting the mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling and related intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1 expression, maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential, and suppressing the overproduction of superoxide anion in endothelial cells. Therefore, our findings may provide new insights into ACSO on controlling TNF-,-mediated inflammation and vascular disease. Anat Rec, 2010. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source]

    Structure and Dynamics of Water Confined in Dimethyl Sulfoxide

    CHEMPHYSCHEM, Issue 1 2006
    A. Wulf
    Abstract We study the structure and dynamics of hydrogen-bonded complexes of H2O/D2O and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by infrared spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy and ab initio calculations. We find that single water molecules occur in two configurations. For one half of the water monomers both OH/OD groups form strong hydrogen bonds to DMSO molecules, whereas for the other half only one of the two OH/OD groups is hydrogen-bonded to a solvent molecule. The H-bond strength between water and DMSO is in the order of that in bulk water. NMR deuteron relaxation rates and calculated deuteron quadrupole coupling constants yield rotational correlation times of water. The molecular reorientation of water monomers in DMSO is two-and-a-half times slower than in bulk water. This result can be explained by local structure behavior. [source]


    Electroenzymatic Synthesis of Chiral Sulfoxides

    ENGINEERING IN LIFE SCIENCES (ELECTRONIC), Issue 2 2006
    C. Kohlmann
    Abstract Chloroperoxidase (CPO) from Caldariomyces fumago (E.C.,1.11.1.10) is able to enantioselectively oxidize various sulfides to the corresponding (R)-enantiomer of the sulfoxides. For these oxidations the enzyme requires an oxidant. Most commonly, tert -butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) and hydrogen peroxide are used. As it is known that these oxidants inactivate the enzyme, the enzymatic reaction was combined with the electrochemical in situ generation of hydrogen peroxide. As substrates for this combination of an enzymatic and an electrochemical reaction methyl p-tolyl sulfide, 1-methoxy-4-(methylthio)benzene and N-MOC- L -methionine methyl ester were used to carry out batch experiments.

    Aromatic and Benzylic C,H Bond Functionalization Upon Reaction between Nitriles and Perfluoroalkyl Sulfoxides

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 31 2009
    Yohan Macé
    Abstract We studied the thermal behavior of some intermediates formed by reaction of nitriles with perfluoroalkyl sulfoxides upon trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride activation. Bistriflate ketal 3, precursor of sulfilimine 1, may undergo a rearrangement to sulfanyl nitrile 5 after triflic acid elimination under thermal conditions. With p -tolyl trifluoromethyl sulfoxide, remote triflic acid elimination from intermediate 4 leads to benzamide 8 formation. These reactions involve, respectively, selective functionalization of the aromatic ortho C,H bond or the benzylic C,H bond para to the sulfoxide group. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Sulfilimines and Sulfoximines by Reaction of Nitriles with Perfluoroalkyl Sulfoxides

    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 19 2009
    Yohan Macé
    Abstract The species obtained by activation of perfluoroalkylated sulfoxides with trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride behaves as highly electrophilic entities. Their reaction with nitriles allows a Ritter-like process leading to the new fluorinated acylsulfilimines 1,21 after hydrolysis. This flexible methodology allows some variation of both the sulfoxide and nitrile components. Derived acylsulfoximines 22,25 or free sulfoximines 26,28 could be selectively obtained, as needed, by further controlled oxidation with the cheap and nontoxic potassium permanganate. This oxidation may be performed either after isolation of the intermediate sulfilimine, or more conveniently in a one-pot process directly from fluorinated sulfoxides. This versatile, solvent and metal free, reaction is thus an opening way through the synthesis of new ligands or electrophilic trifluoromethylating reagents.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Applications of Catalytic Asymmetric Sulfide Oxidations to the Syntheses of Biologically Active Sulfoxides

    ADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 1 2005
    Julien Legros
    Abstract Optically active sulfoxides are important compounds for medicinal and pharmaceutical chemistry. Driven by the increasing demand for efficient, selective and environmentally friendly industrial processes, several catalytic methodologies have been developed in recent years for the stereoselective oxidation of sulfides for the preparation of biologically active sulfoxides. Both small-scale approaches to the problem as well as some large-scale applications that are already in industrial use are described in this review. [source]
