Synthesis, Electrochemistry, and Hydrolysis of Anthraquinone Derivatives
摘要:
Anthraquinone (AQ) derivatives, including members of the anthraquinone imide (AQI) family, have been synthesized to afford good candidates for electron-transfer studies in DNA. Electron-withdrawing groups on the AQ ring give a less negative reduction potential, as desired. As expected, the AQI derivatives have less negative reduction potentials than AQ derivatives. The AQI ring system has a half-life for hydrolysis of about 75min in a 3:7 MeCN and 0.005M K2CO3 in MeOH.
