Oxidative rearrangement of 1,1-disubstituted alkenes to ketones

The Wacker process, which is widely used to convert monosubstituted alkenes into the corresponding methyl ketones, is thought to proceed through a PdII/Pd0 catalytic cycle involving a b-hydride elimination step. This mechanistic scenario is inapplicable to ...

Modular Synthesis of Benzocyclobutenes via Pd(II)-Catalyzed Oxidative [2+2] Annulation of Arylboronic Acids with Alkenes

Qian Wang, Jieping Zhu, Takuji Fujii, Simone Gallarati

Benzocyclobutenes (BCBs) are highly valuable compounds in organic synthesis, medicinal chemistry, and materials science. However, catalytic modular synthesis of functionalized BCBs from easily accessible starting materials remains limited. We report herein ...

Modeling, predicting and mining metabolism at atom-level resolution

Jasmin Maria Hafner

Living organisms can catalyze many thousands of biochemical reactions that they use to convert energy and matter, which provides them with the essentials for life. The sum of these chemical reactions happening in an organism is called metabo-lism. Understa ...

Divergent Synthesis of Densely Substituted Arenes and Pyridines via Cyclotrimerization Reactions of Alkynyl Triazenes

Kay Severin, Nicolai Cramer, Carl Thomas Bormann, Florian Gérald Abela, Jin Fay Tan, Frederick Mark Chadwick

Densely substituted fused aromatic triazenes can be prepared by [2 + 2 + 2] cyclotrimerization reactions of 1-alkynyl triazenes. The Cp*Ru-catalyzed cyclization proceeds well with both simple alkynyl triazenes and tethered 1-diynyl triazenes. Attractively, ...

Electron Capture Dissociation Product Ion Abundances at the X Amino Acid in RAAAA-X-AAAAK Peptides Correlate with Amino Acid Polarity and Radical Stability

Yury Tsybin, Hisham Ben Hamidane, Aleksey Vorobyev

We present mechanistic studies aimed at improving the understanding of the product ion formation rules in electron capture dissociation (ECD) of peptides and proteins in Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry. In particular, we attempt ...

H5EPTPACH2OH: Synthesis, Relaxometric Characterization and 1H NMR Spectroscopic Studies on the Solution Dynamics of Its LnIII Complexes

Lothar Helm, Eva Jakab Toth

The synthesis and characterization of a new metal chelator, 4-(S)-hydroxymethyl-3,6,10-tri(carboxymethyl)-3,6,10-triazadodecanedioic acid (H5EPTPACH2OH), is reported. Protonation constants for the ligand H5EPTPACH2OH and for the previously reported H5EPTPA ...

Nongenomic actions of bile acids. Synthesis and preliminary characterization of 23- and 6,23-alkyl-substituted bile acid derivatives as selective modulators for the G-protein coupled receptor TGR5

Johan Auwerx, Kristina Schoonjans

23-Alkyl-substituted and 6,23-alkyl-disubstituted derivatives of chenodeoxycholic acid are identified as potent and selective agonists of TGR5, a G-protein coupled receptor for bile acids (BAs). In particular, we show that methylation at the C-23(S) positi ...

Alkene hydrazination: Catalytic hydrohydrazination of a wide range of alkenes with a simple Mn complex

Jérôme Waser

Enhanced activity, lower catalyst loading, shorter reaction time, and expanded substrate scope are the advantages of [Mn(dpm)3] over Co catalysts in the hydrohydrazination reaction of alkenes. Thus, sterically hindered alkenes, including tetrasubstituted a ...

A fluoroisoprenylation sequence employing 2-fluoroalkenal derived azomethines as key intermediates: a stereocontrolled synthesis of 2-fluorogeraniol and 2-fluorofarnesol

Azomethines (Schiff's bases) derived from a,b-unsatd. a-fluoroaldehydes can be deprotonated with lithium diisopropylamide. The resulting "anions" or, correctly, 3-fluoro-1-azapentadienyl lithium compds. are conformationally mobile. While eight different ...

Vicinal bromofluoroalkanes: their regioselective formation and their conversion to fluoro olefins

Reaction of alkenes with N-bromosuccinimide and Et3N.3HF produces vic-bromofluoroalkanes in high yields. As long as the addn. to the C:C bond is sterically unhindered, Br and F get attached with very high regioselectivity, the latter occupying the more sub ...
