N-烷基氮杂糖及其衍生物的合成

多羟基哌啶类化合物通常称为氮杂糖，由于与糖结构的相似性，亚胺基环醇表现出强的糖苷酶和糖基转移酶抑制活性，可调控在生物识别及酶结构控制中起到重要作用的糖蛋白的生物合成与水解。因此这类抑制剂有望成为与糖代谢紊乱有关的疾病的治疗药物，如：抗糖尿病、抗肿瘤、抗溶酶体贮积症及抗病毒感染（包括艾滋病）等药物。正是由于氮杂糖的重要生物活性及诱人的药用开发前景，近年来，有关氮杂糖及其衍生物的合成、生物活性及应用研究备受关注。 本论文探索了一系列的作为潜在的迈克加成中间体1-C-乙酰甲基/甲氧羰基甲基-5-N-取代呋喃核糖碳苷衍生物在碱的作用下先发生β-消除反应，接着发生分子内的迈克加成反应生成1-C-乙酰甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物及1-C-甲氧羰基甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物的方法，该转变过程为先通过β-消除得到非环状的α/β不饱和共轭酮或酯的中间体，接着5-N-取代氨基与分子内的α/β不饱和共轭酮或酯发生分子内的1,4-亲核加成，其中，2'-酯的环加成立体选择性的得到β型1-C-乙酰甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物，而2'-酮的环加成得到立体异构体1-C-乙酰甲基-N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物。此外，该类N-取代氮杂吡喃糖碳苷衍生物进一步脱除保护基，得到了一系列新的N-取代氮杂吡喃糖衍生物，拓展了氮杂吡喃糖碳苷分子库。 中间体1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-N-alkylated glycoribofuranoside的合成是由核糖为原料，通过对其结构修饰，在C-5氮原子上先引入不同的取代基，在C-1上引入乙酰甲基或甲氧羰基甲基。C-5取代氨基的引入通过两种方法：(a) 5-取代链状脂肪氨基可由链状的伯胺直接与5-甲磺酰基发生SN2亲核取代得到；(b) 5-取代芳香氨基可通过芳香醛与C-5氨基缩合再由硼氢化钠还原得到。2'-酰基的引入通过烯丙基氧化得到：2'-酮羰基由醋酸汞和琼斯试剂氧化得到；2'-酯基由高锰酸钾氧化再碘甲烷的作用下得到。 The polyhydroxylated piperidines, commonly be called azasugars. Iminocyclitols and their derivatives have exhibited remarkable biological activity to inhibit glycosidase-processing enzymes, with resulting potential chemotherapeutic applications against diabetes, cancer, lysosomal storage disorders and viral infections including AIDS. Recently, because of the important biological activity and excellent foreground on pharmaceutical application, great attention has been attracted to the synthesis of the new derivatives and analogues. In this dissertation, 1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-N-substituted-glycoribofuranosides, which used as latent substrates for intramolecular hetero-Michael addition, were converted to 2-ester and 2-ketone aza-C-glycopyranosides by base treatment. The transformation was achieved through β-elimination to an acyclic α/β-conjugated ketone or ester, followed by an intramolecular hetero-Michael addition by the 5-N-alkylated amino group. The 2-ester cycloaddition was highly stereoselective in favor of an equatorial 1-C-substitution while the 2-ketone cycloaddition was produced a pair of stereoisomers of 2′-ketonyl aza-C-glycoside. Additionally, the resultant different N-alkylated aza-C-glycopyranosides could be further prepared for various azasugar library constructions by removal of protecting groups. Synthesis of the key intermediate 1-C-(2'-oxoalkyl)-5-N-alkylated glycoribo- furanoside involved the introduction of 5-substituted amino and 1-C-2′-oxoalkyl groups from D-ribose. The 5-alkylated amino was introduced through two methods: (a) the 5-aliphatic series amino synthesized by the nucleophilic substitution of 5-mesylate using neat ethylamine, propylamine, butylamine, and hexylamine, (b) the 5-aromatic series amino synthesized by various aromatic aldehydes with C-5 amino under NaBH4 reduction. The 1-C-2′-oxoalkyl groups were introduced through oxidation of the ally group: the 1-C-allyl group was oxidized with Hg(OAc)2 and Jones reagent to the 2-ketonyl C-glycoside; the 1-C-allyl group was oxidized with KMnO4 and CH3I/NaHCO3 to 1-C-methyl acetate glycoside.

Calorimetric study and thermal analysis of crystalline nicotinic acid

As one primary component of Vitamin B-3, nicotinic acid [pyridine 3-carboxylic acid] was synthesized, and calorimetric study and thermal analysis for this compound were performed. The low-temperature heat capacity of nicotinic acid was measured with a precise automated adiabatic calorimeter over the temperature rang from 79 to 368 K. No thermal anomaly or phase transition was observed in this temperature range. A solid-to-solid transition at T-trs = 451.4 K, a solid-to-liquid transition at T-fus = 509.1 K and a thermal decomposition at T-d = 538.8 K were found through the DSC and TG-DTG techniques. The molar enthalpies of these transitions were determined to be Delta(trs)H(m =) 0.81 kJ mol(-1), Delta(fus)H(m) 27.57 kJ mol(-1) and Delta(d)H(m) = 62.38 kJ mol(-1), respectively, by the integrals of the peak areas of the DSC curves.

Parallel synthesis and herbicidal activity of pyrethroid library

A pyridine-containing pyrethroid library of 255 compounds was conveniently constructed using parallel synthesis. The library was screened by high through-put screening (HTs), and further study was focused on the compounds with initial bioactivities. The results suggest that some compounds could be potential herbicides.

Direct synthesis of Al-SBA-15 mesoporous materials via hydrolysis-controlled approach

Aluminum-substituted mesoporous SBA-15 (Al-SBA-15) materials were directly synthesized by a hydrolysis-controlled approach in which the hydrolysis of the silicon precursor (tetraethyl orthosilicate, TEOS) is accelerated by fluoride or by using tetramethyl orthosilicate (TMOS) as silicon precursor rather than TEOS. These materials were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), N-2 sorption isotherms, TEM, Al-27 MAS NMR, IR spectra of pyridine adsorption, and NH3-TPD. It is found that the matched hydrolysis and condensation rates of silicon and aluminum precursors are important factors to achieve highly ordered mesoporous materials. Al-27 MAS NMR spectra of Al-SBA-15 show that all aluminum species were incorporated into the silica framework for the samples prepared with the addition of fluoride. A two-step approach (sol-gel reaction at low pH followed by crystallization at high pH) was also employed for the synthesis of Al-SBA-15. Studies show that the two-step approach could efficiently avoid the leaching of aluminum from the framework of the material. The calcined Al-SBA-15 materials show highly ordered hexagonal mesostructure and have both Bronsted and Lewis acid sites with medium acidity.

Development of a precolumn derivatization method for the determination of free amines in wastewater by high-performance liquid chromatography via fluorescent detection with 9-(2-hydroxyethyl)acridone

A simple, sensitive, and mild method for the determination of amino compounds based on a condensation reaction with fluorescence detection has been developed. 9-(2-Hydroxyethyl)acridone reacts with coupling agent N,N-carbonyldiimidazole at ambient temperature to form activated amide intermediate 9-(2-acridone)oxyethylcarbonylimidazole (AOCD). The amide intermediate (AOCD) preferably reacts with amino compounds under mild reactions in the presence of 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (base catalyst) in acetonitrile to give the corresponding sensitively fluorescent derivatives with an excitation maximum lambda(ex) 404 mn and an emission maximum at lambda(em) 440 nm. The labeled derivatives exhibit high stability under reversed-phase conditions. The fluorescence intensities of derivatives in various solvents or at different temperatures were investigated. The method, in conjunction with a gradient elution, offers a baseline resolution of the common amine derivatives on a reversed-phase C-18 column. The LC separation for the derivatized amines shows good reproducibility with acetonitrile-water including 2.5% DMF as mobile phase. The relative standard deviations (n = 6) for each amine derivative are <4.5%. The detection limits (at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3) per injection were 0.16-12.8 ng/mL. Further research for the field of application, based on the AOCD amide intermediate as derivatization reagent, for the determination of free amines in real water samples is achieved.

A convenient and efficient synthesis of substituted dihydrofurans is developed via ring-enlargement of 1-dimethylaminopropenoyl-1-carbamoyl/benzoyl cycloproparres catalyzed by ammonium acetate in acetic acid with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Some of the newly synthesized substituted dihydrofurans are subjected to further synthetic transformation in the presence of NaOH (aq) in ethanol to afford the corresponding 5-aryl-2,3-dihydrofuro[3,2-c]pyfidin-4(5H)-ones in high yields.

Adsorption of 4,4 '-thiobisbenzenethiol on silver surfaces: surface-enhanced Raman scattering study

Adsorption of 4,4'-thiobisbenzenethiol (4,4'-TBBT) on a colloidal silver surface and a roughened silver electrode surface was investigated by means of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for the first time, which indicates that 4,4'-TBBT is chemisorbed on the colloidal silver surface as dithiolates by losing two H-atoms of the S-H bond, while as monothiolates on the roughened silver electrode. The different orientations of the molecules on both silver surfaces indicate the different adsorption behaviors of 4,4'-TBBT in the two systems.

Fabrication of fibril like aggregates by self-assembly of block copolymer mixtures via interpolymer hydrogen bonding

This paper describes the formation of fibril like aggregates from the self-assembly of block copolymer mixture (polystyrene-b-poly(4-vinylpyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) and polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid) (PS-b-PAA)) via interpolymer hydrogen bonding in nonselective solvent. The hydrogen bonding between P4VP and PAA in chloroform leads to the formation of complex. When all the pyridine units in P4VP were all hydrogen bonded to acrylic acid in PAA, the formed complex is insoluble, resulting in the formation of spherical micellar aggregates and nanorods.

Density functional study on the reaction mechanism of palladium-catalyzed addition of cyanoboranes to Alkynes

The B3LYP hybrid density functional method has been carried Out to Study theoretically the mechanisin of Pd(0)-catalyzed alkyne cyanoboration reaction. Both the intermolecular and intramolecular alkyne cyanoboration reactions were studied. For each reaction, three paths were proposed. In path A of each reaction, the first step is B-CN bond oxidative addition to bisphosphine complex Pd(PH3)(2), in path B of each reaction, the first step is alkyne coordination to bisphosphine complex Pd(PH3)2, and in path C of each reaction, the first step is the PH3 dissociation front Pd(PH3)2 to form monophosphine complex Pd(PH3) For both reactions, path B is favored.

Theoretical studies on the reaction mechanism of palladium(0)-catalyzed addition of thiocyanates to alkynes

The reaction mechanism of the Pd(0)-catalyzed alkyne cyanothiolation reaction is investigated by MP2, CCSD(T) and the density functional method B3LYP. The overall reaction mechanism is examined. The B3LYP results are consistent with the results of CCSD(T) and MP2 methods for the isomerization, acetylene insertion and reductive elimination steps, but not for the oxidative addition step. For the oxidative addition, the bisphosphine and monophosphine pathways are competitive in B3LYP, while the bisphosphine one is preferred for CCSD(T) and MP2 methods.

Immobilization of dipyridyl complex to magnetic nanoparticle via click chemistry as a recyclable catalyst for Suzuki cross-coupling reactions

A magnetic nanoparticle (MNP)-supported di(2-pyridyl)methanol palladium dichloride complex was prepared via click chemistry. The MNP-supported catalyst was evaluated in Suzuki coupling reaction in term of activity and recyclability in DMF. It was found to be highly efficient for Suzuki coupling reaction using aryl bromides as substrates and could be easily separated by an external magnet and reused in five consecutive runs without obvious loss of activity.

The Reasons for Ligand-Dependent Quantum Yields and Absorption Spectrum of Four Polypyridylruthenium(II) Complexes with a Tetrazolate-Based Ligand: TDDFT Study

The quantum yield, lifetime, and absorption spectrum of four [Ru(bpy)(2)L](+) [where bpy is 2,2'-bipyridyl; L is represented by the deprotonated form of 2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)pyridine (L1) or 2-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)pyrazine (L2)], as well as their methylated complexes [Ru(bpy)(2)LMe](2+) (RuL1Me and RuL2Me) are closely ligand dependent. In this paper, density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TDDFT) were performed to compare the above properties among these complexes. The calculated results reveal that the replacement of pyridine by pyrazine or the attachment of a CH3 group to the tetrazolate ring greatly increases the pi-accepting ability of the ancillary ligands.
