Photoelectrochemical oxidation of a turn-on fluorescent probe mediated by a surface MnII catalyst covalently attached to TiO2 nanoparticles
摘要:
A manganese complex covalently attached to a TiO2 electrode via a light-absorbing organic linker (L) was used in the photooxidation of 2',7'-dihydrodichlorofluorescein (H2DCF). Significant and sustained photocurrent was observed upon visible-light illumination of the fully assembled anode in the presence of the substrate. The two-electron, two-proton oxidation of H2DCF yields the fluorescent compound, 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein (DCF). Our studies suggest that the MnII-L-TiO2 architecture is an effective photoanode for multielectron chemistry, as production of DCF under visible-light illumination exceeds yields observed for bare TiO2 as well as Zn-II-L-TiO2 anodes. The turn-on fluorescent behavior of H2DCF upon oxidation makes it an excellent substrate for the study of new photoanodes. The high fluorescence quantum yield of DCF allows for nanomolar sensitivity and real-time monitoring of substrate oxidation. (C) 2013 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
α-Arylation of β-diketones has been carried out over CuO/aluminosilicate catalyst under ligand-free condition. The reaction conditions were optimized with different solvents, bases, catalyst amounts, and temperatures using acetylacetone and 4-bromobenzaldehyde as a model system. The scope of the catalytic system was extended to include various substituted aryl halides. 27 examples were successfully

The coupling reaction of aryl iodides with acetylacetone or ethyl cyanoacetate under catalysis of CuI/l-proline works at relatively mild conditions to provide 3-aryl-2, 4-pentanediones and α-aryl cyanoacetates in moderate to good yields.
The present invention relates to a novel class of modified malonate derivatives. The modified malonate compounds can be used to treat cancer. The modified malonate compounds can also inhibit histone deacetylase and are suitable for use in selectively inducing terminal differentiation, and arresting cell growth and/or apoptosis of neoplastic cells, thereby inhibiting proliferation of such cells. Thus, the compounds of the present invention are useful in treating a patient having a tumor characterized by proliferation of neoplastic cells. The compounds of the invention may also be useful in the prevention and treatment of TRX-mediated diseases, such as autoimmune, allergic and inflammatory diseases, and in the prevention and/or treatment of diseases of the central nervous system (CNS), such as neurodegenerative diseases. The present invention further provides pharmaceutical compositions comprising the modified malonate derivatives and safe dosing regimens of these pharmaceutical compositions, which are easy to follow, and which result in a therapeutically effective amount of the modified malonate derivatives in vivo.
