Jacek E. Nycz
A >PO, (1) type of anion has been used as an efficient synthetic precursor of four-coordinated compounds: R2P(O)Hg(O)PR2 (5) and R2P(O)HgBz (3) (R = alkoxy, alkyl, aryl). They were obtained in good yield. Bis(t -butyl-phenylphosphinito-P)mercury (meso and rac) (5c,d) selectively decomposed into 1,2-di- t -butyl-1,2-diphenyldiphosphane 1,2-dioxide (meso and rac) (6c,d). Furthermore, some mechanistic aspects of the synthesis of mentioned compounds are elaborated.© 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Crystallographic report: A synthetic precursor for hetero-binuclear metal complexes, [Ru(bpy)(dppy)2(CO)2](PF6)2 (bpy = 2,2,-bipyridine, dppy = 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine)

APPLIED ORGANOMETALLIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 8 2004
Dai Ooyama
Abstract In the title complex, [Ru(bpy)(dppy)2(CO)2](PF6)2 (bpy = 2,2,-bipyridine, dppy = 2-(diphenylphosphino)pyridine), the ruthenium atom exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral coordination with the carbonyl ligands in cis positions. In addition, two dppy ligands coordinate to the ruthenium center through the phosphorus atoms in mutually trans positions and two pyridyl nitrogen atoms of the dppy direct toward two carbonyl ligands.

Comparative therapeutic effects of orally administered 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 and 1alpha-hydroxyvitamin D3 on type-1 diabetes in non-obese diabetic mice fed a normal-calcaemic diet

CLINICAL & EXPERIMENTAL IMMUNOLOGY, Issue 1 2008
J. P. Driver
Summary Frequent injections of the hormonal form of vitamin D3, 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3) reportedly inhibits autoimmune type 1 diabetes (T1D) in non-obese diabetic (NOD) mice by correcting some of the abnormalities in antigen-presenting cells which contribute the development of pathogenic T cell responses. This route of administration greatly elevates the levels of these compounds in the bloodstream for hours after treatment, which requires mice to be fed diets formulated to contain much reduced levels of Ca to avoid the toxic effects of hypercalcaemia. In the current work, we demonstrate that feeding 1,25D3 or its synthetic precursor, 1alpha(OH) vitamin D3 (1alphaD3), as part of a T1D supportive chow diet containing normal levels of Ca, is an effective means of reducing the incidence of disease in NOD mice, but the doses required for protection elicited hypercalcaemia. However, T1D protection elicited by D3 analogue feeding appears, at least partially, to have an immunological basis, as splenic T cells from treated mice had a decreased capacity to adoptively transfer disease. Protection is associated with an increased proportion of T cells with CD4+ forkhead box P3+ regulatory phenotype within the islet infiltrate of treated animals. The 1alphaD3 precursor is converted rapidly to the active 1,25D3 isoform in vivo. However, feeding the 1alphaD3 analogue elicited stronger T1D protection than the 1,25D3 compound, but also induced more severe hypercalcaemia. In future, the dietary supplementation of novel low-calcaemic D3 analogues may enable their continuous delivery at levels that inhibit T1D development in susceptible humans consuming normal levels of Ca.

Synthesis, Coordination and Catalytic Utility of Novel Phosphanyl,ferrocenecarboxylic Ligands Combining Planar and Central Chirality

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 16 2007
Martin Lama
Abstract The chiral ferrocene derivative (R,Rp)-2-[1-(diphenylphosphanyl)ethyl]ferrocenecarboxylic acid (1) is prepared together with selected derivatives resulting from modification at the phosphane moiety [P -oxide (5) and P -sulfide (4)] and the carboxyl group {amides bearing benzyl (6) and (R)- or (S)-1-phenylethyl substituents [(R)- 7 and (S)- 7] at the amide nitrogen atom}. Acid 1 and amide 6 are studied as ligands in rhodium and palladium complexes. Bridge cleavage of the dimer [{Rh(,-Cl)Cl(,5 -C5Me5)}2] with 1 gives [RhCl2(,5 -C5Me5)(1 -,P)] (9) containing P-monodentate 1, which undergoes smooth conversion to the (phosphanylalkyl)ferrocenecarboxylato complex [RhCl(,5 -C5Me5){Fe(,5 -C5H5)(,5 -C5H3 -1-CH(Me)PPh2 -2-COO-,2O,P}] (10) upon treatment with silica gel or alumina. Yet another O,P -chelate complex,[Rh{Fe(,5 -C5H5)(,5 -C5H3 -1-CH(Me)PPh2 -2-COO-,2O,P}(CO)(PCy3)] (11; Cy = cyclohexyl) is obtained directly by an acid-base reaction between the acetylacetonato complex [Rh(acac)(CO)(PCy3)] and 1. Amide 6 reacts with [{Pd(,-Cl)(,3 -C3H5)}2] to give the expected phosphane complex [PdCl(,3 -C3H5)(6 -,P)] (12), while the replacement of the cyclooctadiene (cod) ligand in [PdCl(Me)(cod)] affords the chelate complex [PdCl(Me)(6 -,2O,P)] (13). All compounds are characterised by spectroscopic methods and the solid-state structures of 5, 9, 11, 13, (R,Sp)-2-[1-(diphenylphosphoryl)ethyl]-1-[N -(R)-(1-phenylethyl)carbamoyl]ferrocene [(R)- 8; phosphane oxide from (R)- 7], and the synthetic precursors (R,Sp)-1-bromo-2-[1-(diphenylphosphanyl)ethyl]ferrocene (2) and (R,Sp)-1-bromo-2-[1-(diphenylthiophosphoryl)ethyl]ferrocene (3) determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The catalytic properties of 1 and the amides are probed in enanatioselective rhodium-catalysed hydrogenation and palladium-catalysed asymmetric allylic alkylation. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

5-Chloro-3-methylthio-1,2,4-thiadiazol-2-ium chlorides as useful synthetic precursors to a variety of 6a,4 -thiapentalene systems

HETEROATOM CHEMISTRY, Issue 1 2003
Georges Morel
Title salts 3 were easily obtained by treatment of formimidoyl isothiocyanates 1 with a twofold excess of methanesulfenyl chloride. They showed interesting chemical behavior toward several nitrogen and carbon nucleophiles. Substitution reactions with isothioureas and acetamide in the presence of triethylamine gave the 1H, 6H -6a,4 -thia-1,3,4,6-tetraazapentalenes 7 and 6H -6a,4 -thia-1-oxa-3,4,6-triazapentalene 9, respectively. Addition of p -toluidine furnished the 5-imino-thiadiazole derivatives 10, which reacted further with diverse heterocumulenes to yield the corresponding thiatriaza- and tetraazapentalene species 11. The N,N,-bis(1,2,4-thiadiazol-5-ylidene)diaminobenzenes 13 were also prepared and reacted with phenyl isothiocyanate. Two stable rotational isomers were separated for the 1,2-phenylene product 14b. Other ,-hypervalent sulfur compounds 16 were synthesized under similar conditions from salts 3 and methyl cyanoacetate or dimethyl malonate. The structural assignments were discussed on the basis of IR and NMR spectroscopic data and received additional support from X-ray analysis of substrate 16a. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

An improved procedure for the synthesis of dehydroamino acids and dehydropeptides from the carbonate derivatives of serine and threonine using tetrabutylammonium fluoride

JOURNAL OF PEPTIDE SCIENCE, Issue 3 2010
Ramesh Ramapanicker
Abstract Dehydroamino acids are important precursors for the synthesis of a number of unnatural amino acids and are structural components in many biologically active peptide derivatives. However, efficient synthetic procedures for their production in large amounts and without side reactions are limited. We report here an improved procedure for the synthesis of dehydroalanine and dehydroamino butyric acid from the carbonate derivatives of serine and threonine using TBAF. The antiselective E2 elimination of the carbonate derivatives of serine and threonine using TBAF is milder and more efficient than other available procedures. The elimination reaction is completed in less than 10 min with various carbonate derivatives studied and the methodology is very efficient for the synthesis of dehydroamino acids and dehydropeptides. The procedure thus provides an easy access to key synthetic precursors and can be used to introduce interesting structural elements to designed peptides.

Chromatographic methods for the separation of biocompatible iron chelators from their synthetic precursors and iron chelates

JOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 17-18 2004
Petra Kova, íková
Abstract Chromatographic methods have been developed for the separation of the three novel biocompatible iron chelators pyridoxal isonicotinoyl hydrazone (PIH), salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (SIH), and pyridoxal 2-chlorobenzoyl hydrazone (o-108) from their synthetic precursors and iron chelates. The chromatographic analyses were achieved using analytical columns packed with 5 ,m Nucleosil 120-5 C18. For the evaluation of all chelators in the presence of the synthetic precursors, EDTA was added to the mobile phase at a concentration of 2 mM. The best separation of PIH and its synthetic precursors was achieved using a mixture of phosphate buffer (0.01 M NaH2PO4, 5 mM 1-heptanesulfonic acid sodium salt; pH 3.0) and methanol (55 : 45, v/v). For separation of SIH and its synthetic precursors, the mobile phase was composed of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.0) and methanol (60 : 40, v/v). o-108 was analyzed employing a mixture of 0.01 M phosphate buffer (pH 7.0), methanol, and acetonitrile (60 : 20 : 20, v/v/v). These mobile phases were slightly modified to separate each chelator from its iron chelate. Furthermore, a RP-TLC method has also been developed for fast separation of all compounds. The chromatographic methods described herein could be applied in the evaluation of purity and stability of these drug candidates. [source]


Structural elucidation by 1D and 2D NMR of three isomers of a carotenoid lysophosphocholine and its synthetic precursors

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN CHEMISTRY, Issue 4 2004
Bente Jeanette Foss
Abstract A carotenoic acid was used to obtain a long-chain unsaturated lysophosphocholine. The carotenoid lysophosphocholine was synthesized by two methods. The first method resulted in mixtures of regioisomers for each step in the synthetic route. Homo- and heteronuclear 1D and 2D NMR methods were employed to elucidate the structures of the individual isomers and their intermediates. The pure regioisomer [1-(,-apo-8, -carotenoyl)-2-lyso- glycero -3-phosphocholine] was obtained by a second method, but in low yield. The 1D 1H NMR subtraction spectrum of the mixture and the pure regioisomer was used to interpret the 1H shifts of the unsaturated acyl moieties. The 1H and 13C signals of the acyl chain show characteristic shifts depending on the positions of the choline and the acyl group attached to the glycerol backbone. Therefore, the unsaturated acyl chain signals have diagnostic values for the identification of isomers of unsaturated (lyso)phosphocholines. Chemical shifts and indirect coupling constants are reported for each of the major components of the mixtures. The methods used were 1D (1H, 13C and 31P) and 2D (H,H-COSY, HMBC, HSQC and HETCOR) NMR.

The complete chirospectroscopic signature of the peptide 310 -helix in aqueous solution

BIOPOLYMERS, Issue 1 2004
Claudio Toniolo
Abstract We synthesized by solution methods a water-soluble, terminally blocked heptapeptide based on five markedly helicogenic, C, -tetrasubstituted ,-amino acids C, -methyl- L -norvalines and two strongly hydrophilic 2-amino-3-[1-(1,4,7-triazacyclononane)]- L -propanoic acid residues at positions 2 and 5. A Fourier transform infrared absorption and NMR analysis in deuterated chloroform and aqueous solutions of the heptapeptide and two side-chain protected synthetic precursors confirmed our working hypothesis that all oligomers are folded in the 310 -helical conformation. Based on these findings, we exploited this heptapeptide as a chiral reference compound for detailed electronic CD, vibrational CD, and Raman optical activity characterizations of the 310 -helix in aqueous solution. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
