The results indicated the high binding affinity of PHs to BSA as it quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA. The experimental data suggested the fluorescence quenching mechanism between PHs and BSA as a dynamic quenching. From the UV–vis studies, the apparent association constant(K_(app)) was found to be 9.25×10~2, 1.27×10~4and 9.01×10~2L/mol for the interaction of BSA with PH-1, PH-2 and PH-3,respectively. According to the F?rster's non-radiation energy transfer(FRET) theory, the binding distances between BSA and PHs were calculated. The binding distances(r) of PH-1, PH-2 and PH-3 were found to be2.86, 3.03, and 5.12 nm, respectively, indicating energy transfer occurs between BSA and PHs. The binding constants of the PHs obtained from the fluorescence quenching data were found to be decreased with increase of temperature. The negative values of the thermodynamic parameters ΔH, ΔS and ΔG at different temperatures revealed that the binding process is spontaneous; hydrogen bonds and van der Waals interaction were the main force to stabilize the complex. The microenvironment of the protein-binding site was studied by synchronous fluorescence and circular dichroism(CD) techniques and data indicated that the conformation of BSA changed in the presence of PHs. Finally, we studied the BSA-PHs docking using Auto Dock and results suggest that PHs is located in the cleft between the domains of BSA.展开更多

Such heterocyclic precursors and related dyes were identified by elemental and spectral analyses. The absorption spectra properties of such dyes were investigated in 95% Ethanol to attempt and throw some light on the influence of such new heterocyclic nuclei and to compare or evaluate spectral behaviors. The absorption spectra of dyes in different pure solvents were examined in the visible region showing solvatochromism and the colour changes of dyes with solvents having different polarities. This permits a selection of the optimal solvent (fractional solvent) when such dyes are applied as photosensitizers. The spectral behavior of some selected newly synthesized cyanine dyes is observed in mixed solvents of different polarities and progressively increasing quantities of one solvent over the other were studied and showed an increase in the absorbance of CT band with increasing proportion of that solvent. Evidence for hydrogen bond formation between the solute molecules and solvent molecules allows measurement of certain energies such as hydrogen bonding, orientation, and free energies.展开更多

Furthermore, the coupling yields under the new conditions are usually higher than in Ma's original methods.展开更多

The effects of the different coupling units on the spin multiplicities of the ground states and their stabilities were investigated by means of AM1-CI approach. It has been found that the spin densities on the two atoms of the SC fragment are different from delocalization results in the specific stability of - · N-N<. In these molecules, the stabilities of the triplet states decrease when the distance between the atoms of central SC(-N-) increases. It is shown that the heterocycles as the coupling units have influence on the stabilities of the high-spin ground states. That the heteroatom lying in m -phenyl can improve ferromagnetic coupling, while the heteroatom lying in o -phenyl or p -phenyl is not in favor of the ferromagnetic coupling.展开更多

This reaction proceeds via the abstraction of a cyclopentadienyl ring by a Lewis acid followed by coordination of an aromatic compound to the resulting species. This reaction with conventional heating requires a long reaction time. Furthermore, the reactions with heterocycles are lower than those with the corresponding hydrocarbons, and do not produce any products in some cases. In this paper, the ligand exchange reaction of ferrocene and a heterocyclic aromatic compound during microwave irradiation and its effect are discussed. As a result, for some heterocycles, the decrease in the reaction time was confirmed. Furthermore, under the microwave irradiation conditions, the tendency in which the difference in their reactivities became low was confirmed.展开更多

文摘Interaction between bovine serum albumin(BSA) and phosphorus heterocycles(PHs) was studied using multispectroscopic techniques. The results indicated the high binding affinity of PHs to BSA as it quenches the intrinsic fluorescence of BSA.

In these molecules, the stabilities of the triplet states decrease when the distance between the atoms of central SC(-N-) increases. It is shown that the heterocycles as the coupling units have influence on the stabilities of the high-spin ground states. That the heteroatom lying in m -phenyl can improve ferromagnetic coupling, while the heteroatom lying in o -phenyl or p -phenyl is not in favor of the ferromagnetic coupling.
文摘The treatment of 5 amino 1 (4 chlorophenyl) 1,2,3 triazol 4 carbohydrazide with equimolecular aryl isothiocyanate gave new derivatives 1 a—l . Twelve title compounds were obtained in 42% to 87% yields when compounds 1 a—l were respectively treated with sodium hydroxide aqueous solution(2 mol/L). The products of Dimroth rearrangement were not observed in the experiment. The structures of all the compounds were confirmed by means of IR, 1H NMR, MS and elementary analysis.
文摘The ligand exchange reaction is a typical reaction of ferrocenes. This reaction proceeds via the abstraction of a cyclopentadienyl ring by a Lewis acid followed by coordination of an aromatic compound to the resulting species. This reaction with conventional heating requires a long reaction time. Furthermore, the reactions with heterocycles are lower than those with the corresponding hydrocarbons, and do not produce any products in some cases. In this paper, the ligand exchange reaction of ferrocene and a heterocyclic aromatic compound during microwave irradiation and its effect are discussed. As a result, for some heterocycles, the decrease in the reaction time was confirmed. Furthermore, under the microwave irradiation conditions, the tendency in which the difference in their reactivities became low was confirmed.

文摘A novel and eco-friendly electrochemical activation of trifluoromethyl thianthrenium triflate(TT-CF_(3)^(+)OTf^(-))for trifluoromethylation of imidazole-fused heteroaromatic compounds was established.This method involves the direct electrolysis of TT-CF_(3)^(+)OTf^(-)without the requirement of external oxidants or catalysts,aligning with the principles of green chemistry.A wide range of imidazole-fused heteroaromatic compounds including imidazo[1,2-a]pyridines and benzo[d]imidazo[2,1-b]thiazoles have been successfully trifluoromethylated using this technique,exhibiting excellent compatibility with various functional groups and a broad substrate scope.Moreover,the method's applicability for one-pot sequential reactions enables the reduction of waste and resource consumption by eliminating the need for intermediate purification steps.

文摘Although,great achievements have been made in the synthesis of heterocycles using radical addition/cyclization strategy,developing versatile alkyl radical precursors,especially the non-stabilized long chain alkyl radicals for this strategy still remains a huge challenge.Herein,we report an efficient annulation cascade reaction between cyclosulfonium salts and alkenes for the synthesis of sulfur-containing N-heterocycles by visible light/copper catalysis under mild conditions.The C—S bond cleavage/radical cascade reaction delivers a variety of corresponding N-heterocycles containing aryl alkyl thioether motifs with good functional group tolerance.Significantly,the current system could be used for the late-stage functionalization of complex bioactive molecules.

文摘An inexpensive phosphine catalyst was used effectively for a transition-metal-free acyl-transfer of N-containing heteroaryl ketones for the rapid synthesis of N-fused heterocycles.The key pre-aromatic spirocyclic intermediate initialized by the single electron transfer(SET)process of Togni's reagentⅡpromoted by the tertiary phosphine resulted in an intriguing and alternative tactic for the cleavage of C–C bonds.By using inexpensive tertiary phosphine as the catalyst,this skeleton-reorganizing approach of N-containing heteroaryl ketones allows a streamlined assembly of complex N-fused heterocycles with broad functional group tolerance.
文摘Heterogeneous porous carbon(PC)materials have gained unique importance in the catalysis community due to their captivating properties,including high specific surface area,tunable porosity,and function-ality.PC can play a prominent role in the sustainable synthesis of functional heterocycles,as they are a low-cost alternative while being an efficient and user-friendly material.This review examines the prepa-ration and applicability of these carbonaceous materials used as catalysts or support for biologically active heterocycles synthesis,including hydrogenation,oxidation,oxidative dehydrogenation,cross-coupling,and other organic reactions.Moreover,the challenges,potential future development directions,and opportuni-ties in the synthesis of potent bioactive heterocycles over PC materials have been addressed.This review will inspire further research to explore novel PC materials and their implications in heterocyclization.

文摘S-fused heterocycles have become popular building blocks to construct functional polycyclic compounds.In contrast to the abundant synthetic methodologies for thiophene-fused aromatics,the synthesis of S-heterocycles containing six-membered thiopyran and seven-membered thiepine rings is much less reported owing to their unfavorable synthetic protocols and the thermal instabilities.Herein,a series of thiepine-containing polycyclic S-heterocycles have been successfully synthesized via different synthetic routes which involve initial construction of sulfur bridges and final ring-closure reactions.Therefore,the dilithium intermediates are ex-cluded,which facilitates the fusion on the thiepine ring with different S-heterocycles,including thiophene and thiopyran derivatives.Typically,a S-fused multi-membered polycyclic compound simultaneously involving thiophen,thiopyran,and thiepine rings has been successfully prepared.Interestingly,nucleus-independent chemical shift calculations reveal that the incorporated thiopyran and thiepine rings demonstrate aromatic and nonaromatic characteristics,respectively.Moreover,the thermal stabilities of the thiepine derivatives have been tremendously improved after the fusion on the three vinyl groups in the thiepine unit,which is attributed to the enhancements of the activation energies for the S-extrusion reactions,as revealed by density functional theory calculations.Therefore,our findings not only provide a facile synthetic methodology for S-fused multi-membered polycyclic heterocycles,but also furnish a novel construction strategy towards thermally stable thiepine derivatives.

文摘Synthetic chemistry enables constructing molecular complexity using simple substrates through simple processes.We disclose an unprecedented Al-atom transfer strategy for the synthesis of aluminum heterocycles with high atom economy.This strategy involves an effective cycloaddition of a free carbazolyl-aluminylene with unsaturated hydrocarbons,followed by facile cleavage of the N-Al bond.The aluminylene formally behaves as a tetra-active ambiphilic[Al+]cation transfer reagent in a two-step manner,and the only byproduct is a carbazolide salt that can be utilized to regenerate the aluminylene.The carbazolyl Al-heterocycles show unique luminescent properties,in which one exhibits dual emission.Our approach not only has a significant impact on the future design of single-atom addition reactions but also paves the way for emissive materials based on Al-heterocycles.

文摘From the standpoint of chemical structures,the organic backbones of energetic materials can be classified into aromatic rings,nonaromatic rings,and open chains.Although the category of aromatic energetic compounds exhibits several advantages in the regulation of energetic properties,the nonaromatic heterocycles,assembling nitramino explosophores with simple alkyl bridges,still have prevailed in benchmark materials.The methylene bridge plays a pivotal role in the constructions of the classic nonaromatic heterocycle-based energetic compounds,e.g.,hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine(RDX)and octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine(HMX),whereas ethylene bridge is the core moiety of state-of-the-art explosive 2,4,6,8,10,12-hexanitro-2,4,6,8,10,12-hexaazaisowurtzitane(CL-20).In this context,it is of great interest to employ simple and practical bridges to assemble aromatic and nonaromatic nitrogen-rich heterocycles,thereby expanding the structural diversity of energetic materials,e.g.,bridged and fused nitrogen-rich poly-heterocycles.Furthermore,alkyl-bridged poly-heterocycles highlight the potential for the open chain type of energetic materials.In this review,the development of alkyl bridges in linking nitrogen-rich heterocycles is presented,and the perspective of the newly constructed energetic backbones is summarized for the future design of advanced energetic materials.

文摘Although tandem reactions offer rapid access to structurally complex molecules in one-pot reaction,the selectivity issue needs to be addressed particularly when incompatible step reactions are involved.Herein,we report the selective synthesis of fused N-heterocycles from nucleophile-tethered alkenylamide and carbon monoxide via palladium(Pd)-catalyzed tandem carbonylative aza-Wacker-type cyclization.The electron-deficient nature of amide N—H and the intramolecular coordination of Pd with alkene accelerate the aminopalladation and effectively prevent the side oxidative carbonylation of diamine moiety to form urea.It is also found that the reported acyl Pd chloride intermediate may not be involved in this tandem cyclization.This work not only provides an efficient synthetic route to fused 1,4-diazepanones and 1,4-diazepanes but also inspires further development of tandem reactions for the diverse synthesis of heterocycles.
