Ligand-stabilised, water-soluble gold nanoparticles of two different size ranges (2-4 and 5-8 nm) are readily prepared using monohydroxy (1-mercaptoundec-11-yl) tetraethylene glycol as a novel capping agent. These nanoparticles are as stable as alkylthiol-capped monolayer protected clusters (MPCs) and do not aggregate from aqueous solution under a wide range of stringent conditions. It is expected that this new material will be useful for a number of bio-analytical applications.
Although a poly(ethylene/propylene glycol) (PEG/PPG) copolymer mixture is far too complex (approximately 150 oligomeric formulas) for conventional purification, oligomer ion compositions of <1% abundance can be separated by Fourier transform mass spectrometry and dissociated into sequence-specific fragment ions. Using collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) or other conventional energetic methods, we found that misleading rearrangements are common; however, these are negligible with electron capture dissociation (ECD), consistent with its nonergodic mechanism. Despite the lack of reference compounds, ECD of five oligomers ranging from PEG(1)PPG(18) to PEG(9)PPG(15) shows that approximately 80% of their isomers have all PEG units at one end, while CAD gave lower values because of an approximately 21% rearrangement loss of internal monomer units. In contrast to the indicated triblock "PEG/PPG/PEG" sample designation of this commercial surfactant, all of these oligomers are found to consist primarily of diblock PEG/PPG structures, so that their termini differ significantly in hydrophobicity, as expected for a surfactant.
Diastereoselective reduction of diketones with Lactobacillus kefir DSM 20587 was examined. The reduction of both oxo-functions proceeded highly diastereoselectively. (2 R,5 R)-Hexanediol 3 was produced starting from (2,5)-hexanedione 1 in quantitative yields with enantiomeric excess >99% and diastereomeric excess >99%. The reaction conditions were optimized: maximum yield of (2 R,5 R)-hexanediol was reached at pH 6, 30 degrees C and with equal amounts of substrate and cosubstrate. The applicability of the system in fed-batch experiments was demonstrated. The feed specific biomass concentration required to reach maximal yield and selectivity in fed-batch mode was determined.
