Bases hydrogen bonding

This quick glance at the acid-base properties of some (poly)azamacro-cycles already suggests which parameters will determine the p a of macrocyclic and related acids and bases. Hydrogen bonds will probably be very important and in polyions Coulomb interactions have to be taken into consideration. But the geometry of the acid-base function has to be defined. In Sections 2, 3 and 4 we shall therefore focus on compounds with intra-annular acid-base functionalities (the 1,3-xylyl trick). 

The principal factors affecting solvent-ion interactions can be classified as ion-dipole, Lewis acid-base, hydrogen-bonding, solvent structural, and steric. The solvent obviously plays a major part in these interactions. Therefore, to interpret trends in conductance data, bulk solvent properties such as viscosity and dielectric constant should be considered. Table 1 lists selected physical properties for a number of organic solvents. 

We now turn to substituent-sensitive tautomerism. Johnson and Rumon studied a series of solids derived by cocrystallizing substituted benzoic acids and substituted pyridines (108). Their IR evidence indicated, as expected, that when the benzoic acid is a strong acid and the pyridine a strong base, salts 50a are formed. For a weak acid and a weak base, hydrogen-bonded pairs of neutral molecules,...

P2j Z = 2 Dx = 1.687 R = 0.026 for 915 intensities. The conformation of the D-ribosyl group is 2TU the glycosyl disposition is anti (42°), and the exocyclic C-4 -C-5 bond torsion-angle is —66°. The only inter-base hydrogen-bond is between N-3-H of the ring and the hydroxyl oxygen atom of the base. 

A dendritic two-component gelator was synthesised by Smith et al. on the basis of self-assembling acid-base/hydrogen bond interactions. Dendritic lysine building blocks serve as dendrons, and an aliphatic diamine as core (Fig. 2.12). Depending upon the choice of building blocks, the supramolecular complex forms fibrous gel phases by hierarchic self-organisation. 

The half-life of a base hydrogen-bonded to a strong acid can be very short indeed since proton transfer can occur by tunnelling thus the rate coefficient for proton transfer to water hydrogen-bonded to H30+ has been estimated at 1014 s-1 (Crooks, 1977). For the nitrations in concentrated sulphuric acid as solvent, H2S04 and HSO should take the place of H30+ and H20 in (34) (cf. Cox, 1974).

The theoretical methods discussed previously have been applied by a number of researchers to the determination of the electronic structure of the independent bases, hydrogen-bonded pairs, and polynucleotides. 

In addition, iodomethane and similar reagents can act as carcinogens by alkylating the nitrogens in the bases of DNA. This can change how the base hydrogen bonds, resulting in a mutation. 

Despite these similarities, there are some very important differences between the reactions carried out by DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase. Remember that DNA is synthesized with the use of four deoxyn bon ucl cosidc triphosphates (dATP, dGTP, dTTP, and dCTP). In the double-stranded DNA helix, adenine bases hydrogen-bond with thymine bases, and guanine bases hydrogen-bond with cytosine bases. RNA, however, is synthesized with the use of four ribonucleoside triphosphates (ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP). Adenine and guanine bases in the DNA template will direct the addition of uracil and cytosine bases to the growing RNA molecule, respectively, while...

Polynucleotides in the ribo- and deoxyribo series which contain only one type of base can form complexes with themselves and with other homopolynucleotides in which a variety of base-base hydrogen-bonding interactions discussed in Part II, Chapter 16 are observed.
