Chemical And Biotransformation Of Gelomulide F: A Rare Diterpene Lactone, Humaira Yasmeen Gondal, Muhammad Iqbal Choudhary

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Chemical and biotransformations of a rare diterpene lactone, Gelomulide F (1), from the cytotoxic extract of leaves of Suregada multiflora were studied. Fermentation of compound 1 with Sachromyces cerevisiae transformed it to Gelomulide D (2) and E (3), whereas its treatment with 2N KOH yielded Gelomulide D (2). In addition, a novel compound (4) was obtained by its diastereo and chemoselective reduction with NaBH_4. All of these compounds were characterized on the basis of extensive ^1H-NMR, ^{13}C-NMR, 2D NMR, and mass spectral analyses.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

Reaction of pyrimidine-(1H,3H,5H)-2,4,6-trione (barbituric acid), 1,3-dimethyl pyrimidine-(1H,3H,5H)-2,4,6-trione (1,3-dimethyl barbituric acid), and 1,3-diethyl-2-thioxodihydropyrimidine-4,6(1H,5H)- dione (1,3-diethyl thiobarbituric acid) with cyanogen bromide and aromatic dialdehydes in the presence of triethylamine leads to the selective and efficient formation of a novel class of bifunctionalized stable heterocyclic bis-spiro[furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,5'-pyrimidine] 2,2',4,4',6'(3H,3'H,5H)pentaones and their sulfur analogues, which are dimeric forms of barbiturate linked by a phenyl ring. A proposed mechanism was suggested for the formation of the products. The reaction of phthalaldehyde with BrCN and (thio)barbituric acids resulted in only monofunctionalized spiro[furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine-6,5'- pyrimidine]2,2',4,4',6'(3H,3'H,5H)pentaones, while isophthalaldehyde and terphthalaldehyde resulted in the bifunctionalized form.

A Novel Soluble Phthalocyanine Capable Of Binding Four Boronic Esters, Şennur Özçeli̇k, Gülnur Keser Karaoğlan, Gülşah Gümrükçü, Ahmet Gül

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A novel Zn phthalocyanine bearing 4 salicylideniminophenyloxy substituents on peripheral positions was synthesized from the reaction of 4-aminophenoxy substituted phthalocyanine and salicylaldehyde. The condensation reaction of salicylidene Schiff base groups and benzeneboronic acid produced a new phthalocyanine carrying benzeneboronic acid ester derivatives as substituents. Ethoxy groups were bound to boronic acid as a second ligand. The presence of B-N bond interactions enhanced the stability of this boronated phthalocyanine derivative, which exhibited sufficient air stability during the purification and characterization processes. The novel compounds were characterized by using elemental analysis, IR, ^1H-NMR, ^{11}B-NMR, ^{13}C-NMR, UV-Vis and MALDI-TOF MS spectral data.

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

In this work, direct and indirect methods for determination of vitamin K_3 were developed using differential pulse polarography. The reaction between sulfite and the quinone (Q) form of vitamin K_3 was used for indirect determination, since the sulfite peak at -0.7 V is sharp and very reproducible in 0.1 M HAc NaAc (pH = 5.5). It was found that at pH 4.5-5.5, this reaction was quantitative and very fast when the temperature was 45 °C. For its direct determination, on the other hand, vitamin K_3 was standardized by the indirect method using standard sulfite as the reducing agent. The calibration …

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A novel azo derivative, 2,3,4,6'-tetrahydroxy-3'-sulfoazobenzene (THSA), was synthesized by using pyrogallol. The acid dissociation constants, or K_a values, of THSA were determined by the UV-visible spectroscopic technique. The protonation and deprotonation behaviors of the title molecule were studied from the super basic to the super acid region (i.e. 10 N NaOH to 98% H_2SO_4), including the pH region. A selective and sensitive UV-visible spectrophotometric method was devised for determination of aluminum by using this ligand. The developed method was successfully applied to an alunite mineral and to pharmaceutical preparations for the determination of aluminum.

A series of [(4-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)methyl]-1,2,4- triazoles and 1,3,4-thiadiazoles were prepared and evaluated for their activity against sensitive and resistant H. pylori strains. Study of the structure-activity relationship of these series of compounds indicated that the type of nitroimidazole moiety and the pendent group on the heteroaryl analog dramatically impact the anti-H. pylori activity. In triazole series, compound 5d, containing a 4-methyl phenyl group on the triazole ring, was the most potent compound tested against both metronidazole-sensitive and -resistant strains at a concentration of 8 \mu g.

Simultaneous Determination Of Trace Sn(Ii) And Sn(Iv) Using Differential Pulse Polarography And Application, Güler Somer, Ülkü Ünal

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A new method was established for the simultaneous determination of Sn(II) and Sn(IV) using differential pulse polarography (DPP). Among several electrolytes, 0.1 M NaOH in the presence of 0.1 M KNO_3 was found to be the most suitable one. In this medium, Sn(II) had 2 peaks, at -0.74 and -1.17 V, which were sharp and very sensitive. Sn(IV), on the other hand, had a very small peak at -0.92 V when its concentration was higher than 4.0 \times 10^{-4} M. Thus, it was decided to determine Sn(IV) after reduction into Sn(II). In the presence of both Sn(II) and Sn(IV), Sn(II) …

Voltammetric Behavior Of Indole-3-Acetic Acid And Kinetin At Pencil-Lead Graphite Electrode And Their Simultaneous Determination In The Presence Of Anionic Surfactant, Yavuz Yardim, Zühre Şentürk

Turkish Journal of Chemistry

A method was developed for the simultaneous determination of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and kinetin, based on the oxidation of both phytohormones at a pencil-lead graphite electrode. The electrochemical behaviors were examined by cyclic, linear sweep, and square-wave voltammetry in the pH range of 2-12. In Britton-Robinson buffer solution (pH 6), the oxidation peaks of IAA and kinetin are well separated by square-wave voltammetry. By adding an anionic surfactant (sodium dodecylsulfate) in a concentration of 50 \mu M, the sensitivity of kinetin was increased significantly without reducing the resolution. The detection limits were 0.14 and 0.11 \mu M (24.53 and 23.67 …

The monooxovanadium(V) complex of composition [VO(OC_6H_3(NO_2)_2-2,4)_3] (I) was synthesized by the reaction of VOCl_3 with Me_3SiOC_6H_3(NO_2)_2-2,4 in toluene and characterised by elemental analyses, molar conductance, and IR, ^1H- and ^{13}C-NMR, and mass spectral studies. The reactions of (I) with alkali metal 2,4-dinitrophenoxides [MOC_6H_3(NO_2)_2-2,4] (M = Li, Na, K) yield complex salts of composition M[VO(OC_6H_3(NO_2)_2-2,4]_4 authenticated by physicochemical and IR spectral studies. Thermal behaviour of complexes was studied by TG and DTA techniques. The molecular modelling calculations of the parent complex and its complex salts were performed to visualise the probable geometry around vanadium metal, which, coupled with spectroscopic evidence, suggests …
