Phase-vanishing halolactonization of neat substrates.

ABSTRACT: Phase-vanishing reactions are triphasic reactions which involve a reagent, a liquid perfluoroalkane as a phase screen and a substrate. The perfluoroalkane does not dissolve any of the reactants and is used to separate them. Halolactonization of neat substrates under phase-vanishing conditions avoids use of both solvents and basic reaction conditions. Both gamma,delta-alkenoic acids as well as the corresponding methyl esters are suitable substrates for phase-vanishing halolactonizations. The reaction works well both on solid and liquid substrates and the products are obtained in good to excellent yields, particularly in the case of rigid bicyclic systems. Bromine (Br(2)) and iodine monochloride (ICl) are suitable electrophiles for bromolactonization and iodolactonization, respectively. Although in some cases iodine gave satisfactory yields of the corresponding iodolactone, it is generally inferior to iodine monochloride.

Solvent-free phase-vanishing reactions with PTFE (Teflon®) as a phase screen.

Project description:In a solvent-free phase-vanishing reaction with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene, Teflon®) tape as the phase screen, a thermometer adapter is utilized to insert a PTFE-sealed tube into the vapor phase above the substrate. Besides avoiding use of solvents, the experimental design is not dependent upon the densities of the reactants and the procedure generates little or no waste while providing the reaction products in high yield and in high purity.

Programmable Vanishing Multifunctional Optics.

Project description:Physically transient optics, a form of optics that can physically disappear with precisely controlled degradation behaviors, has widespread applications including information security, drug release, and degradable implants. Here, a set of silk-based programmable vanishing, biologically functional, multichromatic diffractive optical elements (MC-DOEs) is reported. Silk proteins produced by silkworms and spiders are mechanically robust, biocompatible, biodegradable, and importantly, optically transparent, which open up new opportunities for a set of fully degradable transient optical devices with no need of metallic or semiconductor components. Compared with monochromatic DOEs, MC-DOEs carry out richer information for more practical applications such as encryption and decryption of multilevel information, quantitative sensing/monitoring of chemical/biological cascade reactions, and effective treatment of infections caused by multiple pathogens.

Enantioselective Halolactonization Reactions using BINOL-Derived Bifunctional Catalysts: Methodology, Diversification, and Applications.

Project description:A general protocol is described for inducing enantioselective halolactonizations of unsaturated carboxylic acids using novel bifunctional organic catalysts derived from a chiral binaphthalene scaffold. Bromo- and iodolactonization reactions of diversely substituted, unsaturated carboxylic acids proceed with high degrees of enantioselectivity, regioselectivity, and diastereoselectivity. Notably, these BINOL-derived catalysts are the first to induce the bromo- and iodolactonizations of 5-alkyl-4( Z)-olefinic acids via 5- exo mode cyclizations to give lactones in which new carbon-halogen bonds are created at a stereogenic center with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Iodolactonizations of 6-substituted-5( Z)-olefinic acids also occur via 6- exo cyclizations to provide δ-lactones with excellent enantioselectivities. Several notable applications of this halolactonization methodology were developed for desymmetrization, kinetic resolution, and epoxidation of Z-alkenes. The utility of these reactions is demonstrated by their application to a synthesis of precursors of the F-ring subunit of kibdelone C and to the shortest catalytic, enantioselective synthesis of (+)-disparlure reported to date.

Vanishing native American dog lineages.

Project description:BackgroundDogs were an important element in many native American cultures at the time Europeans arrived. Although previous ancient DNA studies revealed the existence of unique native American mitochondrial sequences, these have not been found in modern dogs, mainly purebred, studied so far.ResultsWe identified many previously undescribed mitochondrial control region sequences in 400 dogs from rural and isolated areas as well as street dogs from across the Americas. However, sequences of native American origin proved to be exceedingly rare, and we estimate that the native population contributed only a minor fraction of the gene pool that constitutes the modern population.ConclusionsThe high number of previously unidentified haplotypes in our sample suggests that a lot of unsampled genetic variation exists in non-breed dogs. Our results also suggest that the arrival of European colonists to the Americas may have led to an extensive replacement of the native American dog population by the dogs of the invaders.

Association of Halogen Bonding and Hydrogen Bonding in Metal Acetate-Catalyzed Asymmetric Halolactonization.

Project description:Cooperative activation using halogen bonding and hydrogen bonding works in metal-catalyzed asymmetric halolactonization. The Zn3(OAc)4-3,3'-bis(aminoimino)binaphthoxide (tri-Zn) complex catalyzes both asymmetric iodolactonization and bromolactonization. Carboxylic acid substrates are converted to zinc carboxylates on the tri-Zn complex, and the N-halosuccinimide (N-bromosuccinimide [NBS] or N-iodosuccinimide [NIS]) is activated by hydrogen bonding with the diamine unit of chiral ligand. Halolactonization is significantly enhanced by the addition of catalytic I2. Density functional theory calculations revealed that a catalytic amount of I2 mediates the alkene portion of the substrates and NIS to realize highly enantioselective iodolactonization. The tri-Zn catalyst activates both sides of the carboxylic acid and alkene moiety, so that asymmetric five-membered iodolactonization of prochiral diallyl acetic acids proceeded to afford the chiral γ-butyrolactones. In the total description of the catalytic cycle, iodolactonization using the NIS-I2 complex proceeds with the regeneration of I2, which enables the catalytic use of I2. The actual iodination reagent is I2 and not NIS.

Three vanishing masses in the heart.

Project description:A 26 year primigravida, 8 days after delivering a still born baby presented with gradually progressive dyspnea from New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II to class III over a period of 1 week. 2D-Echocardiography showed severely compromised left ventricular systolic function with evidence of thrombi in three different chambers of the heart. All the clots disappeared after an effective anticoagulation therapy without any embolic complications. The hypercoagulable state of the peripartum period and the severe biventricular dysfunction led to the formation of clots. <Learning objective: This case underscores the importance of careful screening of the right side of the heart in cases of peripartum cardiomyopathy. In cases of doubt, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging can be performed to determine the nature of the masses. This case also highlights the importance of effective anticoagulation therapy and the need to be vigilant for any thromboembolic phenomenon during the anticoagulation therapy.>.

Natural History of Vanishing White Matter.

Project description:ObjectiveTo comprehensively describe the natural history of vanishing white matter (VWM), aiming at improving counseling of patients/families and providing natural history data for future therapeutic trials.MethodsWe performed a longitudinal multicenter study among 296 genetically confirmed VWM patients. Clinical information was obtained via disease-specific clinical questionnaire, Health Utilities Index and Guy's Neurological Disability Scale assessments, and chart review.ResultsFirst disease signs occurred at a median age of 3 years (mode = 2 years, range = before birth to 54 years); 60% of patients were symptomatic before the age of 4 years. The nature of the first signs varied for different ages of onset. Overall, motor problems were the most common presenting sign, especially in children. Adolescent and adult onset patients were more likely to exhibit cognitive problems early after disease onset. One hundred two patients were deceased. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed a positive relation between age at onset and both preservation of ambulation and survival. Absence of stress-provoked episodes and absence of seizures predicted more favorable outcome. In patients with onset before 4 years, earlier onset was associated with more severe disability and higher mortality. For onset from 4 years on, disease course was generally milder, with a wide variation in severity. There were no significant differences for sex or for the 5 eIF2B gene groups. The results confirm the presence of a genotype-phenotype correlation.InterpretationThe VWM disease spectrum consists of a continuum with extremely wide variability. Age at onset is a strong predictor for disease course. Ann Neurol 2018;84:274-288.

Vanishing quantum oscillations in Dirac semimetal ZrTe5.

Project description:One of the characteristics of topological materials is their nontrivial Berry phase. Experimental determination of this phase largely relies on a phase analysis of quantum oscillations. We study the angular dependence of the oscillations in a Dirac material [Formula: see text] and observe a striking spin-zero effect (i.e., vanishing oscillations accompanied with a phase inversion). This indicates that the Berry phase in [Formula: see text] remains nontrivial for arbitrary field direction, in contrast with previous reports. The Zeeman splitting is found to be proportional to the magnetic field based on the condition for the spin-zero effect in a Dirac band. Moreover, it is suggested that the Dirac band in [Formula: see text] is likely transformed into a line node other than Weyl points for the field directions at which the spin zero occurs. The results underline a largely overlooked spin factor when determining the Berry phase from quantum oscillations.
