Structural conformation elemental analysis

These observations indicated that an intermolecular double condensation to give a bis N-(methylene-4-oxocoumarinyl)-l,4 aromatic diamine had occurred. Data from the elemental analysis indicated that the calculated and observed values were within the acceptable limits ( 0.4%) and in conformity with the assigned structure. In the addition of molar equivalents of 1,4-aromatic binucleophilic compounds to compound 72 we did not observe any heterocyclic compounds resulting from the further intermolecular nucleophilic attack on the single condensation product. Since the condensation of 3-(dimethylaminomethylene)-chromane-2,4-dione with aromatic binucleophilic compounds is the only route to the new coumarinic compounds, this represents a useful synthetic method. 

We first examined ketone 48 and hydroxy ketone 56 because (1) no reduction of C5a-carbonyl in 48 occurred when using L-Selectride to reduce the C3-ketone and (2) NaBH4 did not touch the C5a-carbonyl group in hydroxy ketone 56. By using minimized Spartan model of vinylogous ester 48 and the X-ray structure of hydroxy ketone 56, we found unique conformational elements (Fig. 8.10) in addition to fully validating the aforementioned NMR analysis of possible positions for H8a when C8a is ip2-hybridzied and H7 when C8a is sp3-hybridized. In 48,... 

The second major metabolite from T. inflation is structurally closely related to cyclosporin A, as can be deduced by elemental analysis, mass spectrum (m/z 1217), IR and NMR spectra. Furthermore, the presence of the double bond and OH group of the unusual MeBmt was established. Sulphonic acids in methanol or dioxane effected the typical rearrangement reaction by N, O-acyl migration to the iso-compound (13). Hydrolysis furnished the same amino acids as cyclosporin A with the exception of L-a-aminobutyric acid, which is replaced in cyclosporin C (12) by L-threonine. The amino-acid sequence could be deduced by conversion of cyclosporin C into cyclosporin A via the corresponding tosylate (14) and iodo derivatives (15) [7]. Position 2 for L-threonine as well as the assumed twisted -pleated sheet conformation of the molecule were confirmed by 13C-NMR spectra. 

Because of expected electrical, electrochemical, optical, chemo-sensor, and other properties of the ball-type Pcs, several metallo and metal-free ball-type Pcs with different linkers have been reported. Metallo and metal free ball-type Pcs containing four calyx[4]arene units as linkers have been synthesized, Fig. 1 [37], The structures of compounds 1-3 were confirmed by UV-vis, IR, 1II-NMR, matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS), and elemental analysis. Because of their unique structure and versatile complexation properties [38], calixarenes were found to be one type of interesting compounds to be incorporated into Pc. The cone conformation of the t-butylcalix[4]arene direct... 

For the pharmacophore-based screening, a 3-D-pharmaco-phore feature is constmcted by structure-activity relationship analysis on a series of active componnds (26) or is dednced from the X-ray crystal stmcture of a ligand-receptor complex (27). Taking this 3-D-pharmacophore feature as a query structure, 3-D database search can be performed to select the molecnles from the available chemical databases, which contain the pharmacophore elements and may conform to the pharmacophore geometric constraints. Then the selected compounds are obtained either from commercial sonrces or from organic synthesis for the real pharmacologic assays (see Fig. 3). 

Table I presents the detailed packing geometries for ensembles consisting of up to two independently orientable chains of like conformation. Although analysis by simulation suggests several distinguishable candidates of comparable energy for chain packing in the oriented PPTA solid state, the predominant trends in structure formation may be deduced from the common elements across the set of packed geometries. The...

The only anomaly we encountered, apparent in the Table, was the finding that the three-carbon bis-phosphonic acid product, which had a good elemental analysis, did not exhibit any XRD lines. We conjecture that this apparent inability to form a crystalline product results from the fact that there is no obvious way to force a conformation on a three carbon chain so that the terminal phoshonates will be in a parallel configuration, as required by a layered structure. This, then, may be an example of an intrinsically amorphous product. 

They characterized the structure of the neutral polymers using FT-IR, H NMR, C NMR and elemental analysis and determined physical, thermal and electrical properties using standard methods. In addition, they performed optoelectrochemical analyses of the polymers during the comprehensive study [38], which included correlations with theoretical calculations, conformational details and band structure calculations. 

Irradiation (Hg-source) of a mixture of CpV(CO)4 and dppa reportedly gives, besides other products, [(CpV(CO)2)2(dppa)2] (93), that was characterized by elemental analysis and IR spectroscopy [98]. In line with these analyses, a macrocycle with rra/i5 -dispositioned dppa moieties around the vanadium center was suggested (Fig. 2.34a), but not only would this conformation be severely strained, it would also contrast all other binuclear doubly dppa-bridged macrocycles. Instead, the insolubility in virtually all solvents would suggest a polymeric structure with vanadium centers singly-bridged by trans-positioncd dppa ligands (Fig. 2.34b). 

In contrast to the 1,4-dithiocin system, 1,4-dioxocin (1) is well-known and has been characterized as an olefinic compound by its spectra as well as its chemical behavior.5-6 The reason why 1,4-dioxocin in contrast to 1.4-dihydro-1.4-diazocine (see Section 1.4.) and 4//-l,4-oxazocinc (sec Section 1.12.), does not qualify as a 107r-aromatic species, is the less pronounced tendency of oxygen atoms for 7t-electron delocalization. An X-ray analysis of the 6-substituted 1,4-dioxocin 2 confirms the presumed nonplanar conformation of the 1,4-dioxocin structural element.9 The eight-membered ring exhibits a twisted boat-chair confirmation. 

Recently, a / -dodecapeptide was found to display a CD spectrum in water which was very similar to that assigned to the 12/10-helix, with a single maximum near 200 nm. Careful NMR analysis however, revealed a predominantely extended conformation without regular secondary structure elements [174]. This result stresses that the CD signature assigned to the 12/10-structure might not be unique and again (see Section 2.2.3.1) that CD spectra must be interpreted with caution. 

TTie C-terminal polypeptide block A (residues 462-497) has also been synthesized and its three dimensional structure in solution (90% H2O/10%D2O) was determined by two-dimensional NMR-spectroscopy with a 600 MHz instrument 28. According to this analysis the peptide has a wedge-like shape with dimensions 3 x 1.8 x 1.0 nm. This wedge probably represents the last part in the SAXS model which has a length of about 4 nm and a maximum diameter of 1.4 nm. The principle element of the secondary structure in this part is the conformation. Three antiparallel short jS-sheets composed of residues 466 to 470 ()5j), 485 to 489 and 493 to 496... 

Since the oxides do not have to be isolated, the sulfur solution after addition of the peroxyacid solution is simply kept in the refrigerator until S,(, has formed which is then isolated by cooling and recrystallization When both Sg and S g are dissolved in CS and the solution is cooled, then, under special concentration conditions, a new sulfur allotrope crystallizes out as orange-yellow opaque crystals of m.p. 92 °C. This compound has been shown by vibrational spectroscopy and X-ray structural analysis to consist of equal amounts of Sg and molecules in their usual conformations. In solution the mean molecular weight of 258 corresponding to 8 atoms per molecule indicates complete dissociation This is the first example of an allotrope of a chemical element consisting of molecules of different sizes. 

In principle every compound with an amino and a carboxy group can be used for such purpose ranging from simple co-amino acids [e.g., 5-aminopentanoic acid (6-aminovaleric acid) (1, n = 3)]1541 or 6-aminohexanoic acid (e-aminocaproic acid) (1, n = 4)]135,57,4 791 and related derivatives of 3-aminobenzoic acid 14801 or more sophisticated structures. A few examples (1-6) are shown in Scheme 28. Numerous cyclic turn mimetics have been developed in the past years and for details on this subject the reader is directed to Vol. E 22c, Section 12. To explore the rigidification introduced by nonnatural amino acids or equivalent structures into cyclic peptides, a careful NMR conformational analysis is required, since frequently the so-called p-turn mimetics do not enable such turns to be established, conversely other secondary structure elements may be induced.14811...
