Organic zeolites from a diolefinic monomer

Submicrometer particles of diethyl p-phenylenediacrylate (EPA) with tunable molecular adsorption characteristics were produced by solid-state photopolymerization in the presence of template molecules. EPA monomer particles were produced by rapid expansion of supercritical solutions (RESS), and deposited directly onto surface acoustic wave (SAW) resonators. The EPA particles were photopolymerized directly on the SAW devices in the presence of molecular templates, and dynamic sorption isotherms of C1- through C9-alkanes were studied to characterize the particle-vapor interaction. The mass increase due to vapor uptake into the particulate coatings was measured by monitoring the SAW resonance frequency during vapor sorption. The vapor selectivity and molecular porosity of the particulate coatings were studied in situ on the piezoelectric substrate by measuring sorption isotherms. A gradual exclusion of smaller alkane molecules from the molecularly imprinted particulate coatings was observed with decreasing template molecule size. The observed selective and reversible adsorption of alkane analytes with different molecular sizes suggest that these imprinted polymers may be categorized as organic analogues of zeolites.

Identification of N-Hydroxycinnamamide analogues and their bio-evaluation against breast cancer cell lines

The present study demonstrates the identification of N-hydroxycinnamamide derivatives and their anticancer potential against human triple-negative breast cancer cell line MDA-MB?231, MCF-7 and non-malignant origin cell line, HEK-293 (human embryonic kidney). MTT assay was studied with HEK-293 cell line. Anticancer potential of the N-hydroxycinnamamide derivatives were compared with marked drug Tamoxifen through in vitro study. The compound numbers 3b and 3h exhibit most potent activity against antagonistic breast cancer cells (MDA-MB-231) with IC50 13μM and 5μM respectively. Compound 3h promotes DNA fragmentation and induction of apoptosis. Furthermore, loss of mitochondrial membrane potential induced by compound 3h. The major mechanism of compound 3h for anti-breast cancer activity was probably initiation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cancer cells thereby persuading apoptotic cell deaths in cancer cells.

Piperidine-appended imidazolium ionic liquid as task-specific basic-IL for Suzuki and Heck reactions and for tandem Wittig-Suzuki, Wittig-Heck, Horner-Emmons-Suzuki, and Horner-Emmons-Heck protocols

Facile, high yielding, one-pot methods for the synthesis of a library of diversely substituted bi-aryls, diarylethenes, and aryl-enoates, via Suzuki and Heck reactions, and by sequential Wittig-Suzuki, Wittig-Heck, Horner-Emmons-Suzuki, and Horner-Emmons-Heck reactions are reported. The reactions employ piperidine-appended imidazolium ionic liquid [PAIM][NTf2] as a task-specific basic-IL, butyl-methyl-imidazolium ionic liquid [BMIM][X] (X?=?PF6, BF4) as solvent, and catalytic amounts of Pd(OAc)2 with no other additives. Wittig and Horner-Emmons reactions are effected by reacting substituted benzaldehydes with 4-bromobenzyl-PPh3 (or bromomethyl-PPh3) phosphonium salts, or diethylphosphonate with bromobenzaldehydes respectively, to form the corresponding ethenes. Subsequent cross-coupling reactions are accomplished by addition of aryl-boronic acid or phenyl-ethenes along with Pd(OAc)2 to bring about the aforementioned hyphenated transformations. The feasibility to perform double-olefination via Wittig and Horner-Emmons reactions with dialdehydes to form highly conjugated bis-styryl and bis-enoate compounds is also shown. The [BMIM][X] solvent is recycled and reused.

Thermal Stimuli-Triggered Drug Release from a Biocompatible Porous Metal–Organic Framework

Drug delivery carriers with a high drug loading capacity and biocompatibility, especially for controlled drug release, are urgently needed due to the side effects and frequently dose in the traditional therapeutic method. In our work, a Zr-based metal–organic framework named ZJU-801, which is isoreticular with NU-801, has been designed and further demonstrated as an excellent drug delivery system (DDS) with a high drug loading of 41.7 %. Such a high drug loading capacity may be ascribed to the appropriate match of the size and the large pore volume of this kind of Zr MOF material. Compared with DS@NU-801, this DDS has successfully achieved on-command heating-activated drug release, which was probably attributed to the bulkier ligand, the better stability, and the intense π–π interaction between ZJU-801 and diclofenac sodium (DS) demonstrated comprehensively by SEM, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), FTIR and 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy as well as computer simulations. It is worth noting that premature drug release was avoided effectively without any complicated post-modifications. The low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility of our DDS were certificated by the in vitro favorable results from an MTT assay, a WST-1 assay, and confocal microscopy imaging.

Lewis Base Activation of Silyl Acetals: Iridium-Catalyzed Reductive Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons Olefination

A Lewis base promoted deprotonative pronucleophile addition to silyl acetals has been developed and applied to the iridium-catalyzed reductive Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination of esters and the chemoselective reduction of the resulting enoates. Lewis base activation of silyl acetals generates putative pentacoordinate silicate acetals, which fragment into aldehydes, silanes, and alkoxides in situ. Subsequent deprotonative metalation of phosphonate esters followed by HWE with aldehydes furnishes enoates. This operationally convenient, mechanistically unique protocol converts the traditionally challenging aryl, alkenyl, and alkynyl esters to homologated enoates at room temperature within a single vessel.

Organocatalytic decarboxylative Doebner-Knoevenagel reactions between arylaldehydes and monoethyl malonate mediated by a bifunctional polymeric catalyst

A bifunctional polystyrene bearing both DMAP and piperidine groups has been prepared and used as an organocatalyst for decarboxylative Doebner-Knoevenagel reactions of arylaldehydes and monoethyl malonate. Isolated yields of the resulting cinnamates were very high, and in all cases only the E-isomer was detected. When a polystyrene catalyst functionalized with only DMAP or piperidine groups was used in these reactions, catalysis was much less efficient. Furthermore, catalysis using a combination of the monofunctional polymers was also less efficient than with the bifunctional polystyrene. Thus, it appears that there is a synergistic effect obtained by co-locating the two different catalytic amine groups on the same polymer backbone. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New York.

Ruthenium-catalyzed, one-pot alcohol oxidation-wittig reaction producing αβ unsaturated esters

By a one-pot process, αβ-unsaturated esters were synthesized in high yield through the Ru-catalyzed oxidation of primary alcohols and the coupling of the resulting aldehydes and stabilized Wittig reagents. The ruthenium catalyst is composed of ruthenium nanoparticles embedded in aluminum oxyhydroxide and can be recovered simply by filtration or decantation. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

A practical, efficient, and atom economic alternative to the Wittig and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions for the synthesis of (E)-α,β- unsaturated esters from aldehydes

We describe a highly efficient new methodology for the synthesis of (E)-α,β-unsaturated esters from aldehydes. In our DMAP-catalyzed reaction, both aromatic as well as aliphatic aldehydes furnish the desired products highly regio- and stereoselectively if treated with commercially available or synthetically easily accessible malonic acid half ester. A large scale application in the synthesis of p-methoxycinnamates, which are of use as sunscreen ingredients, is described.

Practical synthesis of (E)-α,β-unsaturated esters from aldehydes

Based on a modification of the Doebner-Knoevenagel reaction, a practical and highly efficient synthesis of β,β-unsaturated esters with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity was developed. The reactions are catalyzed by 4-dimethylaminopyridine in DMF at room temperature or below. Both aliphatic and aromatic aldehydes can readily be used in the process.
