New Chiral Dopants Based on the 2-Fluoro-2-Methylalkoxy Tail for Use in Ferroelectric Liquid Crystal Mixtures
摘要:
A new class of PLC materials based on the 2-fluoro-2-methylalkoxy tail is reported. This new class of materials consistently shows an N* helical pitch opposite in sign to that of the polarization. These materials are compared to their 2-fluoroalkoxy analogs to explore the methyl group's effect on the N* pitch and polarization.
Synthesis and evaluation of verticipyrone analogues as mitochondrial complex I inhibitors
摘要:
Verticipyrone has recently been isolated from the culture broth of Verticillium sp. and shown to inhibit NADH fumarate reductase, as well as NADH oxidoreductase ( complex I) of the mitochondrial electron transport chain. In order to assess the structural elements in verticipyrone essential for complex I inhibitor, 15 structural analogues were prepared and analyzed for their effects on mitochondrial NADH oxidoreductase and NADH oxidase activities. Also measured were the abilities of several of the analogues to inhibit respiration as judged by a shift to glycolysis, and to inhibit the growth of several mammalian cell lines. The nature of the pyrone ring was shown to be important to potency of inhibition, as was the length and nature of substituents in the side chain of the analogues. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Better the second time around: The title compounds were synthesized by using a one‐pot double methylene transfer catalyzed by a heterobimetallic La/Li complex. Chiral amplification in the second step was the key to obtaining oxetanes in high enantiomeric excess (see scheme).

A series of (±)-2,2-disubstituted oxiranes bearing an alkene or alkyne functional group were resolved by bacterial epoxide hydrolases with excellent selectivities. The presence of a carbon–carbon double or triple bond furnished a highly flexible system for substrate modification, which allowed the enantioselectivity to be tuned by rational substrate modification. Thus, a significant selectivity enhancement of more than a ten-fold increase of E-values was achieved by appropriate choice of the C–C multiple bond, i.e. by (i) choosing an alkene or alkyne moiety or by (ii) variation of the E/Z-configuration of olefinic substrates. The enantioenriched epoxides and vicinal diols thus obtained may be easily transformed into ω-functionalized building blocks containing a chiral fully substituted carbon atom by oxidative cleavage of the carbon–carbon multiple bond.
