A novel dendrimer-type m-terphenyl substituent for the kinetic stabilization of highly reactive species
摘要:
A novel m-terphenyl-based steric protection group (Bpq group) bearing a dendrimer-type framework was designed and successfully applied to the stabilization of the corresponding N-thiosulfinylaniline and arenesulfenyl iodide. The Bpq group was found to provide a very inert environment for the reactive functionality embedded in its clef. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. Ail rights reserved.

Nitric oxide (NO) is a messenger molecule implicated in a number of physiological processes. Nitrosation of selenoproteins has been suggested as playing an important role in NO-mediated cellular functions such as the inactivation of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), but no chemical information about Se-nitrosated species has been available to date. Here a stable Se-nitrososelenol (RSeNO), a new class of NO derivative, was synthesized and fully characterized by X-ray crystallography and spectroscopic methods. This Se-nitrososelenol can be formed by direct transnitrosation from an S-nitrosothiol to a selenol, as is the case in the proposed mechanism for the NO-mediated inactivation of GPx.
