An optimized method for synthesis and purification of 1,1,6-trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN).

ABSTRACT: 1,1,6-Trimethyl-1,2-dihydronaphthalene (TDN), an aroma compound present in wine, is used for sensory and physicochemical analyses. Therefore, synthesis of TDN of high purity is required for these purposes. Optimization of TDN synthesis in order to facilitate its subsequent purification was described. As a result, ?99.5 % of TDN purity was reached.•The possibility of using both ?-ionone and ?-ionone as starting substances was demonstrated•Modifications of the use of reagents in the second and third steps of TDN synthesis were proposed

Enantioselective synthesis of 1,2-dihydronaphthalene-1-carbaldehydes by addition of boronates to isochromene acetals catalyzed by tartaric acid.

Project description:Tartaric acid is an ideal asymmetric catalyst as it is abundant, cheap, and environmentally friendly. (+)-Tartaric acid was found to catalyze a novel enantioselective [4 + 2] cycloaddition of isochromene acetals and vinylboronates. A variety of substituted isochromene acetals were tolerated, furnishing the desired dihydronaphthalenes and dihydrobenzofluorene products in good yields. High enantiomeric ratios (up to 98.5:1.5) and excellent diastereoselectivities (all >99:1) were observed employing 10 mol % of (+)-tartaric acid as the catalyst, in combination with 5 mol % of Ho(OTf)3.

Catalytic 1,2-dihydronaphthalene and E-aryl-diene synthesis via CoIII-Carbene radical and o-quinodimethane intermediates.

Project description:Catalytic synthesis of substituted 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes via metalloradical activation of o-styryl N-tosyl hydrazones ((E)-2-(prop-1-en-1-yl)benzene-N-tosyl hydrazones) is presented, taking advantage of the intrinsic reactivity of a cobalt(iii)-carbene radical intermediate. The method has been successfully applied to a broad range of substrates with various R1 substituents at the aromatic ring, producing the desired ring products in good to excellent isolated yields for substrates with an R2 = COOEt substituent at the vinylic position (∼70-90%). Changing the R2 moiety from an ester to other substituents has a surprisingly large influence on the (isolated) yields. This behaviour is unexpected for a radical rebound ring-closure mechanism, and points to a mechanism proceeding via ortho-quinodimethane (o-QDM) intermediates. Furthermore, substrates with an alkyl substituent on the allylic position reacted to form E-aryl-dienes in excellent yields, rather than the expected 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes. This result, combined with the outcome of supporting DFT calculations, strongly points to the release of reactive o-QDM intermediates from the metal centre in all cases, which either undergo a 6π-cyclisation step to form the 1,2-dihydronaphthalenes, or a [1,7]-hydride shift to produce the E-aryl-dienes. Trapping experiments using TEMPO confirm the involvement of cobalt(iii)-carbene radical intermediates. EPR spectroscopic spin-trapping experiments using phenyl N-tert-butylnitrone (PBN) confirm the radical nature of the catalytic reaction.

(1,2-Dicarba-closo-dodeca-boran-yl)trimethyl-methanaminium iodide.

Project description:The title compound, [1-(CH(3))(3)NCH(2)-1,2-C(2)B(10)H(11)](+)·I(-) or C(6)H(22)B(10)N(+)·I(-), was obtained by the reaction of (1,2-dicarba-closo-dodeca-boran-yl)dimethyl-methanamine with methyl iodide. The asymmetric unit contains two iodide anions and two (o-carboran-yl)tetra-methyl-ammonium cations. The bond lengths and angles in the carborane cage are within normal ranges, but the N-C(methyl-ene)-C(cage) angle is very large [120.2?(2)°] because of repulsion between the carborane and tetra-methyl-ammonium units. In the crystal, ions are linked through C-H?I hydrogen bonds.

Optimized synthesis of luminescent silica nanoparticles by a direct micelle-assisted method.

Project description:Silica nanoparticles (NPs) are versatile nanomaterials, which are safe with respect to biomedical applications, and therefore are highly investigated. The advantages of NPs include their ease of preparation, inexpensive starting materials and the possibility of functionalization or loading with various doping agents. However, the solubility of the doping agent(s) imposes constraints on the choice of the reaction system and hence limits the range of molecules that can be included in the interior of NPs. To overcome this problem, herein, we improved the current state of the art synthetic strategy based on Pluronic F127 by enabling the synthesis in the presence of large amounts of organic solvents. The new method enables the preparation of nanoparticles doped with large amounts of water-insoluble doping agents. To illustrate the applicability of the technology, we successfully incorporated a range of phosphorescent metalloporphyrins into the interior of NPs. The resulting phosphorescent nanoparticles may exhibit potential for biological oxygen sensing.

Optimized DNA extraction and purification method for characterization of bacterial and fungal communities in lung tissue samples.

Project description:Human lungs harbor a scarce microbial community, requiring to develop methods to enhance the recovery of nucleic acids from bacteria and fungi, leading to a more efficient analysis of the lung tissue microbiota. Here we describe five extraction protocols including pre-treatment, bead-beating and/or Phenol:Chloroform:Isoamyl alcohol steps, applied to lung tissue samples from autopsied individuals. The resulting total DNA yield and quality, bacterial and fungal DNA amount and the microbial community structure were analyzed by qPCR and Illumina sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA and fungal ITS genes. Bioinformatic modeling revealed that a large part of microbiome from lung tissue is composed of microbial contaminants, although our controls clustered separately from biological samples. After removal of contaminant sequences, the effects of extraction protocols on the microbiota were assessed. The major differences among samples could be attributed to inter-individual variations rather than DNA extraction protocols. However, inclusion of the bead-beater and Phenol:Chloroform:Isoamyl alcohol steps resulted in changes in the relative abundance of some bacterial/fungal taxa. Furthermore, inclusion of a pre-treatment step increased microbial DNA concentration but not diversity and it may contribute to eliminate DNA fragments from dead microorganisms in lung tissue samples, making the microbial profile closer to the actual one.

Optimized microRNA purification from TRIzol-treated plasma.

Project description:BACKGROUND:MicroRNAs (miRNAs) represent new and potentially informative diagnostic targets for disease detection and prognosis. However, little work exists documenting the effect of TRIzol, a common viral inactivation and nucleic acid extraction reagent, on miRNA purification. Here, we developed an optimized protocol for miRNA extraction from plasma samples by evaluating five different RNA extraction kits, TRIzol phase separation, purification additives, and initial plasma sample volume. This method was then used for downstream profiling of plasma miRNAs found in archived samples from one nonhuman primate (NHP) experimentally challenged with Ebola virus by the aerosol route. RESULTS:Comparison of real-time RT-PCR results for spiked-in and endogenous miRNA sequences determined extraction efficiencies from five different RNA purification kits. These experiments showed that 50 ?L plasma processed using the QIAGEN miRNeasy Mini Kit with 5 ?g of glycogen as a co-precipitant yielded the highest recovery of endogenous miRNAs. Using this optimized protocol, miRNAs from archived plasma samples of one rhesus macaque challenged with aerosolized Ebola virus was profiled using a targeted real-time PCR array. A total of 519 of the 752 unique miRNAs assayed were present in the plasma samples at day 0 and day 7 (time of death) post-exposure. Statistical analyses revealed 25 sequences significantly up- or down-regulated between day 0 and day 7 post infection, validating the utility of the extraction method for plasma miRNA profiling. CONCLUSIONS:This study contributes to the knowledgebase of circulating miRNA extraction methods and expands on the potential applications of cell-free miRNA profiling for diagnostics and pathogenesis studies. Specifically, we optimized an extraction protocol for miRNAs from TRIzol-inactivated plasma samples that can be used for highly pathogenic viruses.

An optimized Npro-based method for the expression and purification of intrinsically disordered proteins for an NMR study.

Project description:Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are an emerging concept. IDPs have high flexibility in their polypeptide chains, lacking a stable 3-dimensional structure. Because of the difficulty in performing X-ray crystallography for IDPs, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the first choice for atomic-level investigation of their nature. Given that isotopically labeled IDP samples are necessary for NMR study, a robust and cost-effective protocol for bacterial expression and purification of IDP is also needed. We employed the Npro (EDDIE)-autoprotease fusion protein system. Although IDPs are believed to be readily degraded by endogenous proteases when expressed in Escherichia coli, Npro-fused IDPs showed excellent resistance to degradation. Seven IDPs of uncharacterized function sampled from the human genome as well as 3 constructs from IDP regions derived from human FancM and Thermococcus kodakarensis Hef were prepared. We improved the protocol of refolding of Npro (EDDIE) to use dialysis, which is convenient for subsequent purification using reversed-phase (RP) HPLC. The method is robust and widely applicable to any IDP sample, promoting the acquisition of experimental data for IDPs in a high-throughput manner.
