[On the reaction of chlorine, bromine, iodine and some N-chloro and N-bromo compounds with peptone in aqueous solution (author's transl)].

The course of the reaction cited in the heading was investigated by determination of the decrease of iodometrically ascertainable oxidation capacity (pH = 7,00; initial concentration: 5 X 10(-3) M active Halogen/1, 0,5 g peptone/1). From the curves depicted in fig. 1 the following scale of reactivity can be derived: dibromoisocyanuric acid greater than bromine greater than 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin greater than N-bromo-N'-chloro-dimethylhydantoin greater than clorine greater than trichloroisocyanuric acid greater than 1,3-dichloro-5,5-dimethylhydantoin greater than iodine greater than chloramine T. The reactivity differences tentatively are explained by electronic, kinetic resp. thermodynamic effects.

Combining Biginelli multicomponent and click chemistry: generation of 6-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-dihydropyrimidone libraries.

Efficient solution-phase protocols for the high-throughput synthesis of 6-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-dihydropyrimidones are reported. The multistep sequence involves the initial bromination of dihydropyrimidones precursors (DHPMs, Biginelli compounds) at the C6-methyl position, using a recyclable polymer-supported brominating agent under rapid flow-through conditions (residence time of 1 min). The 6-bromomethyldihydropyrimidone intermediates were subsequently subjected to a microwave-assisted azidation step (25 min), providing the key 6-azidomethyldihydropyrimidone precursors. In the final step of the sequence, the azides were treated with terminal acetylenes under Cu(I) catalysis (azide-acetylene ligation, "click chemistry") to provide the target 6-(1,2,3-triazol-1-yl)-dihydropyrimidones in a regiospecific fashion (1,4-triazoles) in moderate overall yield utilizing controlled microwave irradiation (20 min). In total, a library of 27 compounds was prepared with 4 points of diversity.

[(3-aryl-1,2-benzisoxazol-6-yl)oxy]acetic acids. A new diuretic series.

A series of [(3-aryl-1,2-benzisoxazol-6-yl)oxy]acetic acids was synthesized and tested for diuretic activity in saline-loaded mice and in conscious, water-loaded dogs. The structural requirements for good diuretic activity in both mice and dogs were found to be very specific. In summary, the compounds with the best diuretic activity (13i, 13q, and 13ff) were substituted with a 2-fluorophenyl group at the 3 position and chlorine or bromine at the 7 position. Compound 13ff, [(7-bromo-3-(2-fluorophenyl)-1,2-benzisoxazol-6-yl]oxy]acetic acid (HP 522), was found to be moderately uricosuric in chimpanzees and was selected for further development.

Preparation of new nitrogen-bridged heterocycles. 55. Reinvestigation of the bromination/dehydrobromination of ethyl 3-[2-(methylthio)indolizin-3-yl]acrylate derivatives.

The bromination/dehydrobromination reactions of ethyl 3-[1-alkoxycarbonyl-2-(methylthio)indolizin-3-yl]acrylates were reinvestigated. Reactions of the title compounds with two equivalents of bromine, followed by heating of the resulting reaction mixture and then treatment with a base gave the unexpected dialkyl 7-bromothieno[2,3-b]indolizine-2,9-dicarboxylates, while similar reactions using benzyltrimethylammonium tribromide as a brominating agent afforded only non-brominated thieno[2,3-b]indolizine derivatives, which were converted to the corresponding 7-bromo derivatives upon further treatment with bromine.

Oxidation of bromide by the human leukocyte enzymes myeloperoxidase and eosinophil peroxidase. Formation of bromamines.

Myeloperoxidase and eosinophil peroxidase catalyzed the oxidation of bromide ion by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and produced a brominating agent that reacted with amine compounds to form bromamines, which are long-lived oxidants containing covalent nitrogen-bromine bonds. Results were consistent with oxidation of bromide to an equilibrium mixture of hypobromous acid (HOBr) and hypobromite ion (OBr-). Up to 1 mol of bromamine was produced per mole of H2O2, indicating that bromamine formation prevented the reduction of HOBr/OBr- by H2O2 and the loss of oxidizing and brominating activity. Bromamines differed from HOBr/OBr- in that bromamines reacted slowly with H2O2, were not reduced by dimethyl sulfoxide, and had absorption spectra similar to those of chloramines, but shifted 36 nm toward higher wavelengths. Mono- and di-bromo derivatives (RNHBr and RNHBr2) of the beta-amino acid taurine were relatively stable with half-lives of 70 and 16 h at pH 7, 37 degrees C. The mono-bromamine was obtained with a 200-fold excess of amine over the amount of HOBr/OBr- and the di-bromamine at a 2:1 ratio of HOBr/OBr- to the amine. In the presence of physiologic levels of both bromide (0.1 mM) and chloride (0.1 M), myeloperoxidase and eosinophil peroxidase produced mixtures of bromamines and chloramines containing 6 +/- 4% and 88 +/- 4% bromamine. In contrast, only the mono-chloramine derivative (RNHCl) was formed when a mixture of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ion (OCl-) was added to solutions containing bromide and excess amine. The rapid formation of the chloramine prevented the oxidation of bromide by HOCl/OCl-, and the chloramine did not react with bromide within 1 h at 37 degrees C. The results indicate that when enzyme-catalyzed bromide or chloride oxidation took place in the presence of an amine compound at 10 mM or higher, bromamines were not produced in secondary reactions such as the oxidation of bromide by HOCl/OCl- and the exchange of bromide with chlorine atoms of chloramines. Therefore, the amount of bromamine produced by myeloperoxidase or eosinophil peroxidase was equal to the amount of bromide oxidized by the enzyme. Bromide was preferred over chloride as the substrate for both enzymes.

Pyrolysis study of halogen-containing aromatics reflecting reactions with polypropylene in a posttreatment decontamination process.

Halogen-containing aromatics, mainly bromine-containing phenols, are harmful compounds contaminating pyrolysis oil from electronic boards containing halogenated flame retardants. In addition,theirformation increases the potential for evolution of polybrominated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PBDDs) and dibenzofurans (PBDFs) at relatively low temperature (up to 500 degrees C). As a model compound, 2,4-dibromophenol (DBP) was pyrolyzed at 290-450 degrees C. While its pyrolysis in a nitrogen flow reactor or in encapsulated ampules yields bromine-containing phenols, phenoxyphenols, PBDDs, and PBDFs, pyrolysis of DBP in a hydrogen-donating medium of polypropylene (PP) at 290-350 degrees C mainly results in the formation of phenol and HBr, indicating the occurrence of a facile hydrodebromination of DBP. The hydrodebromination efficiency depends on temperature, pressure, and the ratio of the initial components. This thermal behavior of DBP is compared to that of 2,4-dichlorophenol and decabromodiphenyl ether. A treatment of halogen-containing aromatics with PP offers a new perspective on the development of low-environmental-impact disposal processes for electronic scrap.

Characterization of the oxidized states of bromoperoxidase.

Bromoperoxidase Compound I has been formed in reactions between bromoperoxidase and organic peroxide substrates. The absorbance spectrum of bromoperoxidase Compound I closely resembles the Compound I spectra of other peroxidases. The pH dependence of the second order rate constant for the formation of Compound I with hydrogen peroxide demonstrates the presence of an ionizable group at the enzyme active site having a pKa of 5.3. Protonation of this acidic group inhibits the rate of Compound I formation. This pKa value is higher than that determined for other peroxidases but the overall pH rate profiles for Compound I formation are similar. The one-electron reduction of bromoperoxidase Compound I yields Compound II and a second reduction yields native enzyme. Bromoperoxidase Compound II readily forms Compound III in the presence of an excess of hydrogen peroxide. Compound III passes through an as yet uncharacterized intermediate (III) in its decay to native enzyme. Compound III is produced and accumulates in enzymatic bromination reactions to become the predominate steady state form of the enzyme. Since Compound III is inactive as catalyst for enzymatic bromination, its accumulation leads to an idling reaction pathway which displays an unusual kinetic pattern for the bromination of monochlorodimedone.

Pd/P(t-Bu)(3): a mild and general catalyst for Stille reactions of aryl chlorides and aryl bromides.

Pd/P(t-Bu)(3) serves as an unusually reactive catalyst for Stille reactions of aryl chlorides and bromides, providing solutions to a number of long-standing challenges. An unprecedented array of aryl chlorides can be cross-coupled with a range of organotin reagents, including SnBu(4). Very hindered biaryls (e.g., tetra-ortho-substituted) can be synthesized, and aryl chlorides can be coupled in the presence of aryl triflates. The method is user-friendly, since a commercially available complex, Pd(P(t-Bu)(3))(2), is effective. Pd/P(t-Bu)(3) also functions as an active catalyst for Stille reactions of aryl bromides, furnishing the first general method for room-temperature cross-couplings.

Synthesis and antimicrobial activity of acyclo C-nucleosides: 3-(alditol-1-yl)-7-oxo-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimidines.

Condensation of 2-hydrazino-4-oxo-6-phenylpyrimidine (1) with aldopentoses 2a-d or aldohexoses 2e-g gave the corresponding aldehydo-sugar (4-oxo-6-phenylpyrimidin-2-yl)hydrazones 3a-g which were acetylated to the corresponding poly-O-acetyl-aldehydo-sugar (3-acetyl-4-oxo-6-phenylpyrimidin-2-yl)hydrazones 4a-g. The latter compounds underwent oxidative cyclization with bromine in acetic acid and in the presence of sodium acetate to the corresponding 8-acetyl-3- (poly-O-acetyl-alditol-1-yl)-7-oxo-5-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolo[4,3-a]pyrimid ines 6a-g. Compounds 6a-g were also obtained by consecutive one-pot oxidative cyclization/acetylation in which the parent hydrazones 3a-g were treated with bromine/acetic acid/sodium acetate followed by acetic anhydride. Deacetylation of 6a-g with ammonium hydroxide in methanol gave the title compounds 7a-g. The antibacterial and antifungal activities of compounds 3c, 3f, 7c and 7f are reported.

Induction of popliteal lymph node enlargement and antibody production in the mouse by pyridylallylamines related to zimeldine.

The role of the para-brominated phenyl ring of the allylamine antidepressant drug, zimeldine, in its immunomodulating activity was studied by comparing local lymph node responses of mice to analogues with various phenyl ring substituents. The compounds (1.0 mg) were injected into the hind footpad and weight and cell number of the popliteal lymph node (PLN) and antibody production by PLN cells were determined 7 days later. Zimeldine and the para-trimethylsilylated and ortho-para-chlorinated compounds induced a marked PLN weight gain in C57BL/6 mice. The para-chlorinated and meta-brominated analogues were significantly less effective, while the para-fluorinated and the unsubstituted analogue failed to trigger PLN weight gain. The same range of potency of the compounds was seen when increases of PLN cell number in BALB/c mice and increases of IgM production by a fixed number of BALB/c PLN cells were determined. The IgG production on a per cell basis was not increased by the fluorinated and the unsubstituted compounds, while the remaining compounds stimulated the IgG production to a similar extent. Plots of the lipophilicity of the para-substituted compounds against their ability to induce PLN weight and cell gain showed a fair correlation, but induction of antibody formation tended to be counteracted at too high lipophilicity. No correlation between pharmacologic and immunologic activity of the compounds could be found. Data indicate that lipophilicity grossly favours PLN enlargement, but the divergent responses to the equilipophilic 3- and 4-brominated compounds, suggest conformational restraints as well.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric characterization of volatile organic compounds in Barcelona tap water.

Barcelona's tap water is supplied by the Llobregat and Ter rivers, which have significant differences in raw water quality. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from Barcelona tap water were isolated by closed-loop stripping analysis (CLSA) and identified and determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The results showed that the Ter river gives the better quality tap water. VOCs, in particular solvents, phosphates, hydrocarbons, C3 and C4 alkylbenzenes and surfactant-related compounds such as C10-C13 alkylbenzenes and non-ionic compounds such as polyethoxylated nonylphenols and their brominated derivatives are present at the ppb level. The last two types of compounds have not previously been reported using the CLSA technique.

A facile and improved synthesis of sildenafil (Viagra) analogs through solid support microwave irradiation possessing tyrosinase inhibitory potential, their conformational analysis and molecular dynamics simulation studies.

Herein, the synthesis of some analogs of sildenafil (Viagra) (21) is described, employing MW irradiations in key steps such as, SNAr reaction on important precursor bromopyrazole (7). Compound 7 was synthesized by the bromination followed by the amidation of readily available 1-methyl-3-propyl-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxylic acid (5). Compounds 9 and 10 were obtained as SNAr reaction products, apparently through the proposed dipolar high-energy transition states TS-1 and TS-2 under MW irradiation, respectively. In contrast, conventional heating failed to produce similar results, even after prolonged heating. Compound 10, upon chlorosulfonation followed by the coupling of various nucleophiles, yielded a series of compounds 12-20 as analogs of sildenafil (21). Compounds 12-21 were subjected to tyrosinase inhibition studies and SAR studies were carried out. This study reflected that the inhibition was enhanced with increase of carbon chain. In case of the compound 17, the -OH group was replaced with -CH2-CH2-OH with a resulting increase in inhibition against tyrosinase. Compound 17 was found to be more potent than the potent reference inhibitor LM and KA. The 2D and 3D hydrogen bonding descriptors that help to study QSPR were also calculated. Energetically most stable conformations of these compounds were analyzed. Their kinetic, potential and total energies were also calculated through MD simulation.

Cleavable hydrophilic linker for one-bead-one-compound sequencing of oligomer libraries by tandem mass spectrometry.

We have developed a method for the rapid and unambiguous identification of sequences of hit compounds from one-bead-one-compound combinatorial libraries of peptide and peptoid ligands. The approach uses a cleavable linker that is hydrophilic to help reduce nonspecific binding to biological samples and allows for the attachment of a halogen tag, which greatly facilitates post-screening sequencing by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The linker is based on a tartaric acid unit, which, upon cleavage from resin, generates a C-terminal aldehyde. This aldehyde can then be derivatized with a bromine-containing amino-oxy compound that serves as an isotope tag for subsequent MS/MS analysis of y-ion fragments. We have applied this linker and method to the syntheses of a number of peptoids that vary in sequence and length and have also demonstrated single-bead sequencing of a peptoid pentamer. The linker is also shown to have very low levels of nonspecific binding to proteins.

Reactivity of natural organic matter with aqueous chlorine and bromine.

While both aqueous bromine (HOBr/OBr(-)) and chlorine (HOCl/OCl(-)) react with natural organic matter (NOM) during water treatment, limited direct parallel comparison of bromine versus chlorine has been conducted. Experiments with model compounds and natural waters indicated more efficient substitution reactions with bromine than chlorine. Kinetic experiments with NOM isolates with and without pre-ozonation were conducted to obtain second-order rate constants (k) with bromine and chlorine. Two-stage reaction kinetics (rapid initial and slower consumption stages) were observed. Bromine reacted about 10 times faster than chlorine with NOM isolates during both stages. The rapid initial stage reactions were too fast to quantify k values, but qualitative estimates ranged between 500 and 5000 M(-1)s(-1). For the slower second stage k values for bromine were 15 to 167 M(-1)s(-1) over the pH range of 5-11, and lower for chlorine (k = 0.7-5M(-1)s(-1)). Values of k correlated with initial SUVA values of NOM (UVA measured at 254 nm divided by DOC). Based upon UV/VIS and solid-state (13)C-NMR spectroscopy, chlorine addition to a NOM isolate resulted in significant oxidation of aromatic and ketone groups while bromine had significantly less change in spectra. Overall, the improved knowledge that bromine reacts faster and substitutes more efficiently than chlorine will be useful in developing strategies to control disinfection by-product formation during water treatment.
