This paper describes the synthesis of several novel water-soluble highly branched polypeptides. The synthesis starts with the ring-opening polymerization of ε-benzyloxycarbonyl-L-lysine N-carboxyanhydride (Z-Lys NCA) or ε-trifluoroacetyl-L-lysine N-carboxy ...
The amino-amido-thiol AT (HS-(CH2)10-CO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH2)(HS-(CH2)10-CO-NH-CH2-CH2-NH2), adsorbed on Au(111), was studied by sum frequency generation (SFG) and IR reflection absorption spectroscopy in the CH2 stretching vibration region. The SFG and IR spect ...
The present invention relates to a process for preparing sulfonyl halides comprising the steps of a) reacting an enoxymetal, allylsilane or allylstannane compound, preferably in the presence of a diene, with sulphur dioxide and b) adding a suitable halogen ...
N-Substituted (3S,4S)- and (3R,4R)-pyrrolidine-3,4-diols 9 and 10, respectively, were derived from (+)-L- and (-)-D-tartaric acid, respectively. Compounds 9k, 91, and 9m with the N-substituents, BnNH(CH2)(2), 4-Phc(6)H(4)CH(2)NH(CH2)(2) and 4-ClC6H4CH2NH(C ...
The cyclic undecapeptide cyclosporin A (CsA) has a remarkable spectrum of diverse biological activities, including anti-inflammatory, antifungal, antiparasitic as well as immunosuppressive activities. However, the low water solubility of this drug is a ser ...
Fully synthetic polymers were used for the prepn. of hydrogel beads and capsules, in a processing scheme that, originally designed for calcium alginate, was adapted to a "tandem" process, that is the combination a phys. gelation with a chem. crosslinking ...
The conversion of 2,2-difluoro-1,3-benzodioxole, an exceptionally acidic arene, via a 4-lithiated intermediate into more than three dozen new derivs. was conceived as a case study. The lithiated species was trapped by C0-electrophiles (4-toluenesulfonyl az ...
Trifluoromethoxy-substituted anilines undergo hydrogen/lithium permutation ("metalation") with optional site selectivity depending on the N-protective group employed. N-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-2- and -4-(trifluoromethoxy)aniline react with tert-BuLi at the n ...
The reaction of the anilines RNH2 [R = C6H4(o-CN), C6H4(p-CN), C6H4(m-CN), C6H4(o-C6H5), C6F5 and C6H4(o-CF3)] with Ph2PCl and inorganic or organic bases in differing stoichiometry and in different solvents has been studied. The electronic properties and s ...
