Spiroadamantyl 1,2,4-Trioxolane, 1,2,4-Trioxane, And 1,2,4-Trioxepane Pairs: Relationship Between Peroxide Bond Iron(Ii) Reactivity, Heme Alkylation Efficiency, And Antimalarial Activity, Xiaofang Wang, Darren J.

These data suggest that iron(II) reactivity for a set of homologous spiroadamantyl 1,2,4-trioxolane, 1,2,4-trioxane, and 1,2,4-trioxepane peroxide heterocycles is a necessary, but insufficient, property of animalarial peroxides. Heme alkylation efficiency appears to give a more accurate prediction of antimalarial activity than FeSO4-mediated reaction rates, suggesting that antimalarial activity is not merely dependent on peroxide bond cleavage, but also on the ability of reactive intermediates to alkylate heme or other proximal targets.

Electrosynthesis Of 2,2-Dimethylolpropionic Acid, Hong-Yan Sun, Zhen-Hai Liang Feb 2009

Electrosynthesis Of 2,2-Dimethylolpropionic Acid, Hong-Yan Sun, Zhen-Hai Liang

Journal of Electrochemistry

The Ti/SnO2+Sb2O4/PbO2 electrode was prepared.The structure phase and valent state were characterized by means of XRD and XPS.The 2,2-dimethylolpropionic acid was synthesized on the Ti/SnO2+Sb2O4/PbO2 anode by direct electro-oxidation of 2,2-dimethylolpropionaldehyde.The product and crude material were analyzed by HPLC,the effects of the concentration of 2,2-dimethylolpropionaldehyde,pH,potential and reaction temperature were studied.The results showed that the optimum conditions were anode potential 1.8 V,pH=1,reaction temperature 15℃ and 2,2-dimethylolpropionaldehyde concentration 0.10mol/L.Under the optimum conditions,the selectivity of 36%,the current efficiency of 28% and the conversion of 58% were reached.The reported method provides a new route for the synthesis of 2,2-dimethylol propionic acid.


Design, Synthesis, And Characterization Of Novel Hydrophilic Fluorene-Based Derivatives For Bioimaging Applications, Dao Nguyen Jan 2009

Design, Synthesis, And Characterization Of Novel Hydrophilic Fluorene-Based Derivatives For Bioimaging Applications, Dao Nguyen

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

In this work, hydrophilic fluorene-based derivatives that contain ethylene oxide substituents, have been synthesized and characterized for potential use as new fluorophores for bioimaging applications and for fluorescence sensing of heavy metals. Symmetrical and unsymmetrical fluorene derivatives based on structural types of acceptor-pi-acceptor, acceptor-pi-donor, and donor-pi-donor were characterized by TGA, UV-vis absorption, fluorescence emission, lifetime, anisotropy, and two-photon absorption (2PA) cross section. They were found to possess high thermal stability, high photostability, high fluorescence quantum yields, and generally large two-photon absorption cross sections, making them quite suitable for new probes in single-photon absorption and two-photon absorption fluorescence microscopy imaging.

2,2'-Binaphthylene Phosphorochloridite (Binol-Pcl) As A Bulky And Efficient Reagent For The Conversion Of Primary And Secondary Alcohols Into Iodides, And Tertiary Alcohols Stereo- And/Or Regioselectively Into Olefin(S), Nader Noroozi-Pesyan, Jabbar Kalaphy, Hossein Khani-Meinagh Jan 2009

2,2'-Binaphthylene Phosphorochloridite (Binol-Pcl) As A Bulky And Efficient Reagent For The Conversion Of Primary And Secondary Alcohols Into Iodides, And Tertiary Alcohols Stereo- And/Or Regioselectively Into Olefin(S), Nader Noroozi-Pesyan, Jabbar Kalaphy, Hossein Khani-Meinagh

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Primary and secondary alcohols were transformed in high yield to corresponding iodides by 4-chloro-3,5-dioxaphosphacyclohepta [2,1-\alpha; 3,4-\alpha'] dinaphthalene (BINOL-PCl) at room temperature. The tertiary alcohols formed corresponding alkenes by stereo- and/or regioselective elimination reactions. (E)-1,2-Diphenyl-1-propene and 2,3-diphenyl-1-propene were stereoselectively obtained from 1,2-diphenyl-2-propanol, as representative. No (Z)-1,2-diphenyl-1-propene was observed. 2-Methyl-1-phenylcyclopentene and 3-methyl-2-phenylcyclopentene were regioselectively obtained from 2-methyl-1-phenylcyclopentanol. ^{13}C chemical shifts for the \alpha-methylene carbon of some alkyl iodides empirically calculated through a very simple additive relationship lead to similar or even better values than the reported values. All primary alkyl iodides showed the iodine heavy atom effect on the \alpha-methylene carbon chemical …


Quantitative Structure--Retention Study Of Some 2,4-Dioksotetrahydro- 1,3--Thiazole Derivatives Using The Partial Least Squares Method, Tatjana Djakovic-Sekulic, Costel Sarbu, Nada Perisic-Janjic, Zagorka Lozanov-Crvenkovic Jan 2009

Quantitative Structure--Retention Study Of Some 2,4-Dioksotetrahydro- 1,3--Thiazole Derivatives Using The Partial Least Squares Method, Tatjana Djakovic-Sekulic, Costel Sarbu, Nada Perisic-Janjic, Zagorka Lozanov-Crvenkovic

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Thin-layer chromatography on rice starch support and aqueous ammonia--organic modifier (methanol, dioxane, and acetone) mobile phases was used to study the effect on retention of the chromatographic system and the physicochemical properties of twelve 2,4-dioxotetrahydro-1,3-thiazoles. A multivariate approach to the retention behaviour of the investigated compounds with 3 quite different organic solvents was used to explain the interactions between the 1,3-thiazoles and the mobile phases. Partial least-squares (PLS) regression was used to quantify differences between the observed data and recognize the molecular properties with the greatest effect on retention for each modifier. Good correlation was obtained between experimental and calculated …


A Systematic Study On The Absorption And Fluorescence Properties Of 2,4,6-Triaryl And Tripyridylpyridines, Esra Findik, Mustafa Arik, Mustafa Ceylan Jan 2009

A Systematic Study On The Absorption And Fluorescence Properties Of 2,4,6-Triaryl And Tripyridylpyridines, Esra Findik, Mustafa Arik, Mustafa Ceylan

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Eight different 2,4,6-triaryl, and tripyridylpridines compounds were synthesized and their fluorescent properties were studied by using steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence and UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy techniques in 6 different solvents. Especially, 2,4,6-triarylpyridines showed strong fluorescence properties with high fluorescence quantum yields but small Stokes shifts.
