A polydiacetylene-based fluorescent sensor chip.

Abstract

Self-assembled diacetylene vesicles were spotted and immobilized on aldehyde-modified glass substrates using conventional microarray technology. Irradiation of the immobilized diacetylenes allowed generation of nonfluorescent "blue-phase" polydiacetylene (PDA) arrays. Specific interaction of the PDA vesicle arrays with carbohydrates or poly(acrylic acid) solutions afforded fluorescent profiles.

Highly selective Diels-Alder reactions of directly connected enyne dienophiles.

The paper describes the course of cycloadditions of Diels-Alder dienophiles containing linked enyne sites, each substituted with activating groups. Consistently, it was found that in the enyne cases the Diels-Alder reaction occurred specifically at the acetylenic center. Furthermore, it was found that the regiochemical sense of the cycloaddition was apparently determined by the remote activating group bound to the olefinic site. This remote acrylyl group totally dominated the course of the cycloaddition, relative to the activating group bound directly on the acetylene site. Explanations for these findings at the computational level are provided. The computations also rationalize the strong preference for cycloaddition to occur at the acetylene linkage and encompass the otherwise surprising regiochemical dominance by the remote ester on the olefinic site. The high selectivities available through such reactions provide important new opportunities in the synthesis of orsenillate type substructures that are found in a variety of natural products of contemporary interest.

Enantioselective phenylacetylene addition to aldehydes and ketones catalyzed by recyclable polymeric Zn(salen) complex.

New polymeric Zn(salen) complex was employed in the enantioselective phenylacetylene addition to aldehydes and ketones to produce corresponding chiral secondary propargylic alcohols with yields (up to 96%) and enantioselectivity (up to 72%) and tertiary propargylic alcohols with yields (up to 79%) and enantioselectivity (up to 68%) at room temperature, with added advantage of four times reuse with retention of enantioselectivity.

Using triethynylphosphine ligands bearing bulky end caps to create a holey catalytic environment: application to gold(I)-catalyzed alkyne cyclizations.

The synthesis, properties and catalytic uses of phosphinoalkynes bearing bulky end caps at the alkyne termini, that is, tris[(triarylsilyl)ethynyl]phosphines are reported. The most salient feature of the new phosphines is the holey molecular shape possessing a deep and large-scale metal-binding cavity. The holey phosphines displayed remarkable rate enhancement in the gold(I)-catalyzed six- and seven-membered ring forming cyclizations of acetylenic keto esters and 1,7-enynes. It is proposed that the cavity in the ligand forces a nucleophilic center (enol or alkene) of the acetylenic compounds close to the gold-bound alkyne, making ring-closing anti attack feasible.
