Searching for Minimum Increments of Hydrophobic Collapse: Flexible Dinaphthyl Carboxylates
摘要:
In an effort to identify minimal units of hydrophobically induced folding, we have examined flexible molecules containing two naphthyl moieties connected by a four-atom linker that also bears a carboxyl group. Crystallographic data show that the linkers allow intramolecular edge-to-face association of the naphthyl groups without excessive strain in the backbone. For the carboxylate forms of the dinaphthyl compounds, the occurrence of intramolecular naphthyl-naphthyl proximity in aqueous solution (24 degrees C) was detected via upfield shifts in the aromatic region H-1 NMR signals, relative to mononaphthyl control compounds. The naphthyl-naphthyl proximity does not appear to be strongly ''hydrophobically driven'', however, because similar upfield shifts (dinaphthyl vs mononaphthyl carboxylates) were observed in 8 M aqueous urea, and for the corresponding carboxylic acids in CDCl3 and C6D6. We conclude that these upfield shifts largely reflect chance encounters between the naphthyl groups resulting from random conformational motion.

Nanolayered cobalt–molybdenum sulphide (Co–Mo–S) materials have been established as excellent catalysts for C–S bond construction. These catalysts allow for the preparation of a broad range of thioethers in good to excellent yields from structurally diverse thiols and readily available primary as well as secondary alcohols. Chemoselectivity in the presence of sensitive groups such as double bonds,
nontoxic to the normal cells. Based on the LD50 values and selectivity index (SI), compound 3h (S-p-methoxybenzyl (p-methoxyphenyl)methanesulfinothioate) was considered as most promising anticancer agent amongst the above three compounds. Further bio-chemical studies confirmed that compound 3h promotes ROS generation, changes in mitochondrial permeability transition and induced caspase mediated DNA

Temperature- and solvent-induced selective synthesis of trisulfides and disulfides is demonstrated. A remarkable selectivity was achieved using Na2S as a sulfur-transfer agent under mild, greener, catalyst-free and additive-free conditions. This study reveals trisulfides as a better model than disulfides in general for a sustained release of H2S and potent anti-cancer activities.

ABSTRACT A rapid and general method for the synthesis of symmetrical disulfides involves reaction of sulfur with sodium hydroxide under PTC-microwave irradiation condition to give sodium disulfide, which reacts with alkyl halides to afford the disulfides in good to excellent isolated yields.
