A Simplified Direct Lipid Mixing Lipoplex Preparation: Comparison Of Liposomal-, Dimethylsulfoxide-, And Ethanol-Based Methods, Joseph Meisel, George Gokel Sep 2016

A Simplified Direct Lipid Mixing Lipoplex Preparation: Comparison Of Liposomal-, Dimethylsulfoxide-, And Ethanol-Based Methods, Joseph Meisel, George Gokel

Established transfection methodology often uses commercial reagents, which must be formed into liposomes in a sequence of about half a dozen steps. The simplified method reported here is a direct lipid mixing approach that requires fewer steps, less manipulation, and is less time-consuming. Results are comparable to those obtained with more commonly used methods, as judged by a variety of analytical techniques and by comparisons of transfection results. The method reported here may be applied to non-liposome-forming compounds, thereby greatly expanding the range of structures that can be tested for transfection ability.

For detailed coverage of the previous achievements in the field the reader is referred to our earlier reviews: A. V. Demchenko, Curr. Org. Chem., 2003, 7, 35–79 and Synlett, 2003, 1225–1240.


Relay Cross Metathesis Reactions Of Vinylphosphonates, Raj Malla, Jeremy Ridenour, Christopher Spilling Aug 2014

Relay Cross Metathesis Reactions Of Vinylphosphonates, Raj Malla, Jeremy Ridenour, Christopher Spilling

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Works

Dimethyl (β-substituted) vinylphosphonates do not readily undergo cross metathesis reactions with Grubbs catalyst and terminal alkenes. However, the corresponding mono- or diallyl vinylphosphonate esters undergo facile cross metathesis reactions. The improved reactivity is attributed to a relay step in the cross metathesis reaction mechanism.


New Bis(Imino)Pyridine Complexes Of Iron(Ii) And Iron(Iii), And Their Catalytic­ Activity In The Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction, Pushkar Shejwalkar, Nigam Rath, Eike Bauer Nov 2013

New Bis(Imino)Pyridine Complexes Of Iron(Ii) And Iron(Iii), And Their Catalytic­ Activity In The Mukaiyama Aldol Reaction, Pushkar Shejwalkar, Nigam Rath, Eike Bauer

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Works

New iron(II) and iron(III) complexes bearing bis(imino)pyridine ligands were synthesized and successfully applied to the Mukaiyama aldol reaction. The two complexes [FeCl2 L] (L = bis(imino)pyridine ligand, 55% isolated yield) and [LFe(μCl)3FeCl3] (76%) were obtained employing FeCl2 and FeCl3 iron sources, respectively, and characterized by elemental analyses, mass spectrometry, IR spectroscopy and, one example, by X-ray diffraction. The two new iron complexes were subsequently employed as catalysts in the Mukaiyama aldol reaction after abstraction of two chlorides by AgSbF6 to obtain the aldol products in 43% to virtually quantitative yield (CH2Cl2 solvent, room temperature, 3.5 to 16 h reaction time). …


2-Allylphenyl Glycosides As Complementary Building Blocks For Oligosaccharide And Glycoconjugate Synthesis, Hemali Premathilake, Alexei Demchenko Apr 2012

2-Allylphenyl Glycosides As Complementary Building Blocks For Oligosaccharide And Glycoconjugate Synthesis, Hemali Premathilake, Alexei Demchenko

Chemistry & Biochemistry Faculty Works

The O-allylphenyl (AP) anomeric moiety was investigated as a new leaving group that can be activated for chemical glycosylation under a variety of conditions, through both direct and remote pathways. Differentiation between the two activation pathways was achieved in a mechanistic study. The orthogonal-type activation of the AP moiety along with common thioglycosides allows for the execution of efficient oligosaccharide assembly.


Effect Of A Strategically Positioned Methoxy Substituent On The Photochemistry Of 3-Aryl-3h-1-Oxacyclopenta[L]Phenanthren-2-Ones, Roshini Thumpakara, Binoy Jose, Perupparampil Unnikrishnan, Sreedharan Prathapan, Nigam Rath Dec 2010

Irradiation of 3-methoxy-3-aryl-3H-1-oxacyclopenta[l]phenanthren-2-one derivatives 5a–d resulted in singlet-mediated decarbonylation reaction leading to the formation of phenanthrene derivatives 9a–d. The structure of the photoproduct was unequivocally established on the basis of X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Individual mol­ecules of the title compound, C24H19N, do not participate in hydrogen-bonding inter­actions due to the steric bulk of the phenyl rings ortho to the amine. The dihedral angles between the central ring and the pendant rings are 68.26 (10), 55.28 (10) and 30.61 (11)°.

New phosphoramidite complexes of iron were synthesized and structurally characterized. Reaction of the known chiral phosphoramidites (RO)2PNR’2 (R = binaphthyl, R’ = CH3, 1a; R = binaphthyl, R’ = benzyl, 1b) with [FeBr(Cp)(CO)2] afforded the title compounds [FeBr(Cp)(CO)(1a,b)] (4a,b) in 34 and 65 % isolated yields as mixtures of diastereomers, since both the metal and the ligand are stereogenic. Similarly, reaction of 1b with [Fe(Cp)I(CO)2] in the presence of catalytic [Fe(Cp)(CO)2]2 afforded [Fe(Cp)I(CO)(1b)] (5b) in 81% yield as a mixture of diastereomers. The molecular structures of 4a, 4b and 5 were determined, revealing a pseudo octahedral coordination geometry about the …

The reaction of 3-aryl-2-cyano-5,5-bis(methylthio)penta-2,4-dienenitrile, (1), with (L)-(-)-2-hydroxymethylpyrrolidine, (2), gave two types of product, the normal substitution product, (3), and a pyridine derivative, (4). The structures of two representative examples, 2-phenyl-3-(5,6,7,7a-tetrahydro1H,3H-pyrrolo[1,2-c]oxazol-3-ylidene)-1-propene-1,1-dicarbonitrile, (3a), as its hemibenzene solvate, C17H14N3O.0.5C6H6, and 4-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2,6-bis(methylthio)pyridine-3-carbonitrile, (4b), C15H14N2OS2, have been unambiguously established by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The molecular packing of (4b) involves loosly held dimers with S1...S1' distances of 3.424 (1) Å.
