Novel 6-bromo-3-ethyl-2-styrylbenzothiazolium <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-butyl-triphenylborates as photoinitiators of trimethylolopropane triacrylate (TMPTA) polymerization

Summary The series of 6-bromo-3-ethyl-2-styrylbenzothiazolium n-butyltriphenylborates was synthesized and evaluated as photoinitiators of free radical polymerization. The dyes were obtained by the condensation reaction of the 6-bromo-3-ethyl-2-methylbenzothiazolium salts with different alkylaminobenzaldehydes. The resulting styrylbenzothiazole dyes (hemicyanine dyes) paired with n-butyltriphenylborate anion (SBrB2), are shown to be efficient photoinitiators for free radical polymerization of trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) induced with the visible emission of an argon-ion laser. The photochemistry of the novel hemicyanine borates was compared to the photochemistry of identical series of the dyes that do not possess the bromo substituent at benzothiazolium residue. The comparison has shown that the introduction of the bromine into benzothiazolium residue causes a small red shift of the electronic absorption maxima, changes the reduction potential of the dye and, finally, increases a photoinitiation ability of the dye.

Structural and Energetic Impact of Non-natural 7-Deaza-8-azaguanine, 7-Deaza-8-azaisoguanine,and Their 7-Substituted Derivatives on Hydrogen-Bond Pairing with Cytosine and Isocytosine

The impact of 7-deaza-8-azaguanine (DAG) and 7-deaza-8-azaisoguanine (DAiG) modifications on the geometry and stability of the G:C Watson–Crick (cWW) base pair and the G:iC and iG:C reverse Watson–Crick (tWW) base pairs has been characterized theoretically. In addition, the effect on the same base pairs of seven C7-substituted DAG and DAiG derivatives, some of which have been previously experimentally characterized, has been investigated. Calculations indicate that all of these modifications have a negligible impact on the geometry of the above base pairs, and that modification of the heterocycle skeleton has a small impact on the base-pair interaction energies. Instead, base-pair interaction energies are dependent on the nature of the C7 substituent. For the 7-substituted DAG-C cWW systems, a linear correlation between the base-pair interaction energy and the Hammett constant of the 7-substituent is found, with higher interaction energies corresponding to more electron-withdrawing substituents. Therefore, the explored modifications are expected to be accommodated in both parallel and antiparallel nucleic acid duplexes without perturbing their geometry, while the strength of a base pair (and duplex) featuring a DAG modification can, in principle, be tuned by incorporating different substituents at the C7 position.     

Synthesis and characterization of oligodeoxynucleotides containing naphthyridine:imidazopyridopyrimidine base pairs at their sticky ends. Application as thermally stabilized decoy molecules

We describe the synthesis and properties of oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing 1,8-naphthyridine C-nucleoside (Na-NO) and imidazo[5',4':4,5]pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidine nucleoside (Im-ON) at the termini. The modified ODNs were more resistant (6 to 40 times) than natural DNA to snake venom phosphodiesterase (SVPD). Although incorporation of one pair each of Na-NO:Im-ON on the sticky ends of the duplex was insufficient for thermal stabilization (+2.5 degrees C per pair relative to the G:C pair), the duplex containing two consecutive Na-NO:Im-ON pairs at its sticky ends was markedly stabilized thermally. The stabilizing effect of the incorporation of additional Na-NO:Im-ON pairs is estimated to be +7.8 degrees C per pair. Application as thermally stabilized decoy molecules to NF-kappaB (p50) was also demonstrated. The DNA duplexes containing the Na-NO:Im-ON pairs (ODN I:ODN II and ODN III:ODN IV) acted as competitors to the natural NF-kappaB-binding duplex (ODN V: ODN VI), and the calculated IC50 values of ODN I:ODN II and ODN III:ODN IV were 20.1+/-13.3 and 10.9+/-4.8 nM, respectively, greater than that of ODN V:ODN VI.     

Influence of acetated‐based and bromo‐based ionic liquids treatment on wool dyeing with acid blue 7

Bromo‐based and acetated‐based ionic liquids (ILs), 1‐butyle‐3‐methylimidazolium bromo ([Bmim]Br), 1‐ethyl‐3‐mthylimidazolium bromo ([Emim]Br), 1‐butyle‐3‐methylimidazolium acetate ([Bmim]Ac), and 1‐ethyl‐3‐mthylimidazolium acetate ([Emim]Ac), were synthesized and employed for wool surface treatment. Scanning electron microscope results indicated that the wool surfaces treated with acetated‐based ILs were eroded more than those treated with bromo‐based ILs. Comparable studies showed that the wool samples treated with acetate‐based ILs, especially [Emim]Ac, had higher initial dyeing rate and equilibrium exhaustion than those with bromo‐based ILs. Along with treatment temperature and time increasing, acetate‐based ILs had more remarkable effects on mechanical and dyeing properties of the wool samples than bromo‐based ILs. The wool samples treated with [Emim]Ac at 60°C for 10 min had excellent low‐temperature dyeing properties. The color depth (K/S) investigations showed that the wool samples treated with acetate‐based ILs possessed darker color depth than those treated with the bromo‐based ILs. Color fastnesses of the wool samples treated with [Bmim]Br, [Emim]Br and [Bmim]Ac exhibited the same grades as the untreated sample, while wet color fastnesses of [Emim]Ac treated sample were slightly decreased. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Synthesis and Electron Paramagnetic Resonance Studies of Oligodeoxynucleotides Containing 2‐N‐tert‐Butylaminoxyl‐2′‐deoxyadenosines

Oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) containing 2‐N‐tert‐butylaminoxyl‐2′‐deoxyadenosine ( A* ) residues were synthesized to allow accurate monitoring of adenine motion by EPR spectroscopy through the agency of direct linkage of the acyclic aminoxyl group to the nucleobase, and EPR studies of the ODNs in single‐ and double‐stranded forms were performed. Upon duplex formation, peak broadening and decreases in peak height were observed in EPR spectra, and the synthesized ODNs were shown to be excellent monitors of hybridization. Comparison of peak height and the h₁/h₀ signal ratio provided information on the relative mobility of A* in duplexes with different stability. A second set of ODNs each containing two A* residues at different intervals and four dA residues were also synthesized. For these ODNs, correlations were observed between the EPR spectral shapes of the duplexes and the number of dA residues between A* residues, thus demonstrating the potential of A* residues in monitoring of the structures of nucleic acids.

Continuous,homogeneous and rapid synthesis of 4-bromo-3-methylanisole in a modular microreaction system

4-Bromo-3-methylanisole is mainly used to synthesize black fluorane dye(2-anilino-3-methyl-6-dibutylaminofluorane, ODB-2), which is one of the most important heat and pressure-sensitive dyes in the manufacture of thermal papers. Compared to the industrial heterogeneous batch process, a continuous homogeneous bromination technology in a modular microreaction system has been developed, and 4-bromo-3-methylanisole has been successfully prepared through high-selective mono-bromination of 3-methylanisole with Br_2 solution in CHCl_3. In optimal conditions, the content of bis-brominated byproducts can be controlled less than 0.5%,which is superior to the industrial standard with 99.5% 3-methylanisole conversion at very short residence time and mild reaction temperature.

Continuous synthesis of 4-bromo-3-methylanisole in modular microreaction system

With the development of microreaction technology and the key issues of liquid-liquid batch bromination process for the synthesis of 4-bromo-3-methylanisole, a modular microreaction system was constructed by taking microreactor and microbead-packed bed as the major functional microdevice units to intensify the bromination of methylanisole. And in this modular microreaction system, the liquid-liquid heterogeneous continuous bromination of 4-bromo-3-methylanisole was studied. The following optimized conditions were obtained, concentration of Br₂ (x_Br2): 17.5 wt%, molar ratio of Br₂ to methylanisole (n_Br2/n_M): 1.01, initial reaction temperature (T): 0℃, residence time (τ): 0.78 min, with yield of 4-bromo-3-methylanisole more than 98%, and percentage of polybrominated side product less than 1%. Comparing with the conventional batch process, the continuous microreaction technology has obvious advantages. For example, it can change the traditional batch process to a continuous one with a significant increase of productivity (space time yield: 6.5×10⁴ kg/(m³·h)). Besides, since this process is mainly controlled by mass transfer, the modular microreaction system with excellent mass transfer could reduce 50% of polybrominated side product. The study might provide a good foundation for the continuously controllable synthesis of 4-bromo-3-methylanisole in safety.

Covalent functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotube surfaces by conjugated polyfluorenes

The outer surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was successfully modified with 7-bromo-9,9-dioctylfluorene-2-carbaldehyde by using 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of azomethine reaction to introduce bromo functional groups. The peripheral bromo functional groups can be used to further react with AB-type monomers through Suzuki polycondensation to afford the PF-functionalized MWCNTs, which are of a cable-like structure. Through covalent connection to MWCNTs, the fluorescence of polyfluorenes was completely quenched by the MWCNTs, indicating a fast photo-induced electron transfer from polyfluorenes to MWCNTs.

Conformational Investigations by Means of ¹³C-N.M.R.Spectroscopy. IV. Additive Calculation of the ¹³C-N.M.R. Chemical Shifts in 2-Bromo-cycloalkanoles and 2-Bromo-1-methoxy-cycloalkanes of Different Ring Size The ¹³C-n.m.r. spectra of a series of bromo-cycloalkanes, cycloalkanoles, methoxy-cycloalkanes, trans-2-bromo-cycloalkanoles and trans-2-bromo-1-methoxy-cycloalkanes (ring size n = 5, 6, 7, 8, 12) as well as cis-2-bromo-cyclododecanol and cis-2-bromo-1-methoxycyclododecane are obtained and assigned. The ¹³C-chemical shifts of the monosubstituted compounds have been used to estimate the substituent effects of bromo, hydroxy and methoxy groups to the α-, β- and γ-position. Using these shift parameters, the ¹³C-chemical shifts of the vicinal disubstituted compounds are calculated in an additive incremental manner. These ¹³C-chemical shifts have been compared with the experimental values and the differences are discussed with respect to the magnitude of the deviations from additivity with the dimension of steric and electronic interaction of the vicinal substituents.     

Cytosine detection by a fluorescein-labeled probe containing base-discriminating fluorescent nucleobase

We report on a new method for the detection of a base at a specific site in a DNA sequence by monitoring the fluorescence emission of fluorescein. To achieve this goal, we developed a new base-discriminating fluorescent (BDF) nucleobase, naphthodeazaadenine ((ND)A). The fluorescence spectrum of the duplex possessing a cytosine base as a complementary base of (ND)A showed a fluorescence peak at 383 nm when using an excitation wavelength of 350 nm. When the complementary base of (ND)A was one of the other bases, the fluorescence intensity was very low. The fluorescence emission spectrum of (ND)A overlapped with the fluorescence excitation spectrum of fluorescein in the wavelength range of 400-500 nm. Thus, we designed FRET-BDF probes containing (ND)A as the FRET donor and fluorescein as the acceptor. The interaction of these two fluorophores, which are separated by defined base pairs, allowed an efficient energy transfer that resulted in a dominant fluorescence emission of fluorescein at 520 nm when using an excitation wavelength of 350 nm. Fluorescence emission from FRET-BDF probes was observed only when the complementary base of (ND)A is C, thus achieving a clear distinction of a C base on the complementary DNA strand. However, the general utility of our method is limited due to the quenching of the (ND)A fluorescence by a G/C base pair flanking (ND)A.
