Quantification of Naturally Occurring Pyrrole Acids in Melanosomes
摘要:
AbstractThree naturally occurring pyrrole acids were found in Sepia, human black hair, and bovine choroid and iris melanosomes using high‐performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry—pyrrole‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid (PDCA), pyrrole‐2,3,5‐tricarboxylic acid (PTCA) and pyrrole‐2,3,4,5‐tetracarboxylic acid (PTeCA). PDCA and PTCA are common markers quantified from oxidative degradation of eumelanins. Using standards, the amounts of naturally occurring PDCA and PTCA were determined and compared to those obtained following peroxide oxidation of the same samples. Because the naturally occurring acids are water soluble, these results indicate that care must be exercised when comparing PDCA and PTCA yields from the degradation analyses of melanins isolated and prepared by different methods. This work also establishes that PTeCA is a naturally occurring pyrrole acid in melanosomes.
The synthesis of functionalized GEM-dinitrocyclopropanes via [3+2] cycloaddition of diazocarbonylcompounds with 1,1-dinitroethenes [in some cases in the presence of Mo(CO) 6 as catalyst] has been developed.

Effective synthesis of symmetrical oxygen- and nitrogen-heterocycles from electron-deficient alkynes via the catalysis of electrogenerated base and Fe3+ ions
An efficient method has been developed for the synthesis of oxygen- and nitrogen-heterocycles from electron-deficient alkynes and alcohol or amines via electrochemically induced two-step process. The first step involves that the electrogenerated base (EGB) catalyzes hydroalcoholization or hydroamination process. In the second step, Fe3+ ions and strong bases electrogenerated can synergically catalyze
