Peptidotriazolamers are hybrid foldamers with features of peptides and triazolamers, containing alternation of amide bonds and 1,4-dlsubstltuted 1H-1,2,3-triazoles with conservation of the amino acid side chains. We report on the synthesis of a new class of peptidomimetics, containing 1,4-disubstituted 1H-1,2,3-triazoles in alternation with amide bonds and the elucidation of their conformational properties in solution. Based on enantiomerically pure propargylamines bearing the stereogenic center in the propargylic position and a-azido esters, building blocks were obtained by copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition. With these building blocks the peptidotriazolamers were readily available by solution phase synthesis. A panel of homo- and heterochiral tetramers, hexamers, and heptamers was synthesized and the heptamer Boc-Ala-Val-Psi[4Tz]Phe-Leu Psi[4Tz]Phe-Leu Psi[4Tz]Val-OAll as well as an heterochiral and a Gly-containing equivalent were structurally characterized by NMR-based molecular dynamics simulations using a specifically tailored force field to determine their conformational and solvation properties. All three variants adopt a compact folded conformation in DMSO as well as in water. In addition to the heptamers we predicted the conformational behavior of similar longer oligomers i.e., Boc-Ala-(Ala Psi[4Tz]Ala)(6)-OAll as well as Boc-Ala-(D-Ala Psi[4Tz]Ala)(6)-OAll and Boc-Ala-(Gly Psi[4Tz]Ala)(6)-OAll. Our calculations predict a clear secondary structure of the first two molecules in DMSO that collapses in water due to the hydrophobic character of the side chains. The homochiral compound folds into a regular helical structure and the heterochiral one shows a twisted "S"-shape, while the Gly variant exhibits no clear secondary structure.

One-step synthesis of hierarchical [B]-ZSM-5 using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as mesoporogen
Yalcin, Busra Karakaya; İpek Torun, Bahar (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey, 2020-01-01)
One-step facile synthesis of boron containing ZSM-5 microspheres is developed using 1,6-diaminohexane as the structure-directing agent and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as the mesoporogen. High boron incorporation up to Si/B ratio of 38 is achieved and evidenced by the stretching vibrations of B-O-Si at 667 cm(-1) and 917 cm(-1) using Fourier-transform infrared spectra. The morphology of the crystals resembles berry-like spheres with sizes approximately 15 mu m, which is composed of aggregated nanocrystals...
A novel asymmetric synthesis of highly enantiomerically enriched norbornane-type diamine derivatives
BOLM, CARSTEN; SCHİFFERS, INGO; ATODİRESEİ, IULİANA; Özçubukçu, Salih; RAABE, GERHARD (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2003-01-01)
The simple and highly enantioselective methanolysis of norbornene dicarboxylic acid anhydride mediated by quinidine leads to the corresponding cis-monomethyl ester with 98% ee. By means of selective ester epimerization, followed by Curtius degradation of the intermediate trans-diacyl azide, two optically active norbornane-type diamines are obtained as their hydrochloric salts. Liberating the amine with an excess of triethylamine in situ and subsequent derivatization affords potential C-1-symmetric ligands f...
Aryl butenoic acid derivatives as a new class of histone deacetylase inhibitors: synthesis, in vitro evaluation, and molecular docking studies

New aryl butenoic acid derivatives have been synthesized by combining hydroxy- or methoxy-substituted phenyl rings as the capping group, with a double bond in the short linker as well as metal binding groups, enoic ester, and salts bearing either methyl or morpholine. These compounds have been shown to possess promising histone deacetylase inhibition activities via in vitro fluorometric assay and molecular docking studies.
A novel synthesis of optically active alpha-amino acids
Demir, Ayhan Sıtkı (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 1997-01-01)
A new enantioselective synthesis of alpha- amino acids are described in which the key step is the enantioselective reduction of E, and Z furyl ketone oxime ethers with chiral boron complexes. The chirality of amino acid is fully controlled by appropriate choice of geometrical isomer of the oxime ether.

Series of homoconjugated push-pull chromophores and donor-acceptor (D-A)-functionalized spiro compounds were synthesized, in which the electron-donating strength of the anilino donor groups was systematically varied. The structural and optoelectronic properties of the compounds were investigated by X-ray analysis, UV/Vis spectroscopy, electrochemistry, and computational analysis. The homoconjugated push-pull chromophores with a central bicyclo[4.2.0]octane scaffold were obtained in high yield by [2+2] cyclo...
