Incorporation of low molecular weight biocides into polystyrene-divinyl benzene beads with controlled release characteristics.

Triclosan and phosphonium salt biocides have been separately incorporated into polystyrene-divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) beads by suspension polymerization. Ultraviolet (UV) absorption measurements have been used to monitor the release of these low molecular weight biocides out of the PS-DVB beads immersed in water-ethanol mixtures and in physiological saline. The release of the biocide agents is strongly dependent on either the DVB or/and the antimicrobial composition ratio in the beads. An increase of biocide incorporation in the PS/DVB beads was accompanied by a corresponding enhancement of its concentration in liquid mixtures. On the contrary, higher cross-linking densities hindered the biocide migration out of the beads by diminishing its release rate into either the aqueous ethanol solutions or the natural serum. Moreover, Fourier transform Raman (FT-Raman) spectra and Attenuated Total Reflectance Infrared (ATR-FTIR) measurements of the PS-DVB-Triclosan and PS-DVB-phosphonium salt beads, before and after their immersion in water-ethanol solutions, gave a similar qualitative evidence of the biocide release.

Dithiane additions to vinyl epoxides: steric control over the SN2 and SN2' manifolds.

High chemoselectivity can be achieved in the addition of lithium dithiane anions to vinyl epoxides exploiting the steric nature of the dithiane substituent. Unencumbered dithiane anions afford SN2 adducts, whereas sterically encumbered anions lead primarily to SN2' adducts. Furthermore, the SN2' addition occurs syn to the vinyl epoxide.

Intramolecular endo-dig hydrosilylation catalyzed by ruthenium: evidence for a new mechanistic pathway.

The ruthenium catalyst [Cp*Ru(MeCN)3]PF6 effects a novel intramolecular hydrosilylation of homo- and bis-homopropargylic alcohols, producing products of unique regioselectivity under very mild conditions with excellent selectivity. The reaction is compatible with a wide range of functional groups and tolerates substantial steric bulk. In addition to producing valuable synthetic intermediates thus far obtainable only in circuitous fashion, the results imply the necessity for a reexamination of the mechanism surrounding trans-hydrosilylation reactions, at least for ruthenium catalysts. At the very least, a simple cis addition/isomerization mechanism almost certainly cannot be active in this case. A silicon-ruthenium transposition could potentially provide a rationalization. However, the evidence for any products of syn addition with nonhydrido ruthenium catalysts is very scarce. Alternatively, a direct trans addition to orthogonal p-systems is also a possibility.

Rhodium-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of vinylarenes.

The transition metal-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of unactivated vinylarenes with a rhodium complex of DPEphos is reported. The reaction of electron-neutral or electron-rich vinylarenes with a variety of secondary amines in the presence of catalyst forms the products from anti-Markovnikov hydroamination in high yields. Reactions of morpholine, N-phenylpiperazine, N-Boc-piperazine, piperidine, 2,5-dimethylmorpholine, and perhydroisoquinoline reacted with styrene to form the amine product in 51-71% yield. Reactions of a variety of vinylarenes with morpholine generated amine as the major product. Reactions of morpholine with electron-poor vinylarenes gave lower amine:enamine ratios than reactions of electron-rich vinylarenes at the same concentration of vinylarene, but conditions were developed with lower concentrations of electron-poor vinylarene to maintain formation of the amine as the major product. Reactions of dimethylamine with vinylarenes were fast and formed amine as the major product. Mechanistic studies on the hydroamination process showed that the amine:enamine ratio was lower for reactions conducted with higher concentrations of vinylarene and that one vinylarene influences the selectivity for reaction of another. A mechanism proceeding through a metallacyclic intermediate that opens in the presence of a second vinylarene accounts for these and other mechanistic observations.

Ruthenium-catalyzed anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of vinylarenes.

A ruthenium-catalyzed intermolecular, anti-Markovnikov hydroamination of vinylarenes with secondary aliphatic and benzylic amines is reported. The combination of Ru(cod)(2-methylallyl)2, 1,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane, and triflic acid was the most effective catalyst of those tested. Control reactions conducted without ligand or acid did not form the amine. The reaction of morpholine, piperidine, 4-phenylpiperazine, 4-BOC-piperazine, 4-piperidone ethylene ketal, and tetrahydroisoquinoline with styrene in the presence of 5 mol % of this catalyst formed the corresponding beta-phenethylamine products in 64-96% yield, with 99% regioselectivity, and without enamine side products. Acyclic amines such as n-hexylmethylamine and N-benzylmethylamine reacted with styrene in 63 and 50% yields, respectively. Alkyl-, methoxy-, and trifluoromethyl-substituted styrenes reacted with morpholine in the presence of this catalyst or a related one containing 1,1'-bis(diisopropylphosphino)ferrocene as ligand to give the products in 51-91%. Further, the hydroamination of alpha-methyl styrene was observed for the first time with a homogeneous transition metal catalyst. Preliminary mechanistic studies showed that the reaction occurred by direct, irreversible, anti-Markovnikov hydroamination and that the mechanism of the ruthenium-catalyzed hydroamination is likely to be distinct from that of the recently reported rhodium-catalyzed reaction.

Ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerization of cis-3-en-1-ynes to cyclopentadiene and related derivatives through a 1,5-sigmatropic hydrogen shift of ruthenium-vinylidene intermediates.

We report a new ruthenium-catalyzed cycloisomerization of unactivated cis-3-en-1-ynes, which produces substituted cyclopentadiene and related derivatives. The mechanism of this cyclization is proposed to involve a [1,5]-sigmatropic hydrogen shift of ruthenium-vinylidene intermediates on the basis of deuterium-labeling experiments.

Unprecedented alkene complex of zinc(II): structures and bonding of divinylzinc complexes.

This report describes the solid-state structures of a series of divinylzinc complexes, one of which represents the only structurally characterized zinc(II) pi-complex. Vinylzinc reagents, Zn[C(Me)=CH2]2 (1) and Zn[C(H)=CMe2]2 (2), have been synthesized and isolated as white crystalline solids in 66 and 72% yield, respectively. Each compound exhibits an infinite polymeric architecture in the solid state via a series of zinc-pi (1) and zinc-sigma-bonded (2) bridging interactions. Addition of chelating ligands to these divinylzinc compounds allowed isolation of the monomeric adducts (bipy)Zn[C(Me)=CH2]2 (1.bipy), (tmeda)Zn[C(Me)=CH2]2 (1*tmeda), (bipy)Zn[C(H)=CMe2]2 (2*bipy), and (tmeda)Zn[C(H)=CMe2]2 (2*tmeda), of which 1*bipy, 2*bipy, and 2*tmeda have been characterized crystallographically.

Commercially available 5'-DMT phosphoramidites as reagents for the synthesis of vinylphosphonate-linked oligonucleic acids.

[reaction: see text]. Commercially available cyanoethyl phosphoramidites derived from T, d(C), d(A), and d(G) were hydrolyzed (1H-tetrazole, MeCN/H2O) to give the corresponding H-phosphonates in excellent yields. Palladium(0)-catalyzed cross-coupling of each of these with the thymidine-derived vinylbromide 2 afforded the corresponding vinylphosphonate-linked dimers TT, d(C)T, d(A)T, and d(G)T in modest to good yields. The TT dimer was further elaborated to give a 5'-DMT-TT-3'-CEP building block, and this was used in the automated synthesis of the TpTTpT tetramer.

A [2 + 2] cycloaddition route to dimethylaminomethylene vinamidinium salts.

[reaction: see text] Trifluoropropanoic acid reacts with 1 equiv of POCl3 in DMF to generate the trifluoromethyl enamine (7). At this stage, two reaction manifolds are available. The expected reaction with additional POCl3 generates the 2-trifluoromethyl vinamidinium salt (3c). However, thermally driven loss of fluoride generates an iminium ion, which sets the stage for a [2 + 2] cycloaddition to ultimately generate the dimethylaminomethylene vinamidinium salt (1).

Anthranilate synthase-anthranilate 5-phosphoribosyl 1-pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase from Aerobacter aerogenes.

1. Anthranilate synthase and phosphoribosyltransferase from Aerobacter aerogenes purify simultaneously and sediment together on sucrose gradients, showing that they occur as an enzyme aggregate. Both activities of the intact aggregate are subject to inhibition by tryptophan. 2. By using appropriate auxotrophic mutants it was shown that an intact active enzyme aggregate is formed when the components come from separate mutant strains. An intact active aggregate can also be formed when one component is from Escherichia coli and the other from A. aerogenes. 3. Phosphoribosyltransferase of A. aerogenes is active when not in an aggregate with anthranilate synthase, but is not subject to tryptophan inhibition, indicating that the inhibitor site is on the anthranilate synthase component. 4. Anthranilate synthase can be active and sensitive to tryptophan inhibition when complexed with an inactive phosphoribosyltransferase. 5. Kinetic studies on the anthranilate synthase activity show that tryptophan is a competitive inhibitor with respect to chorismate and a non-competitive inhibitor with respect to either glutamine or NH(4) (+) ions. This is consistent with a sequential mechanism of the ordered type in which chorismate is the first reactant.
