Succinic acid 2 molecules

A unit of the x-ray structure (13.12) of a cocrystal between itraconazole and succinic acid (HO2CCH2CH2CO2H), is shown in Figure 13.6. The cocrystal involves two molecules of itraconazole encapsulating a single succinic acid molecule. The OH groups of the acid form a hydrogen... 

This is an inverse use of the s unmetry elements used in the malonate chains. Fig. 13 gives two views of the structure, and Table 12 relevant dimensions. Hydrogen atoms excepted, the whole anion is virtually planar, in contrast to the succinic acid molecule in the crystal of the p-form 64), which is twisted by 11° about the central C—C bond.

This tetra ethyl ester is difficult to hydrolyse the corresponding tetra-methyl ester can, however, be hydrolysed to give ethane tetracarboxylic acid, (HOOC)jCH CH(COOH)j. The latter readily loses 2 molecules of carbon dioxide (on being heated or even on boiling with water) to give succinic acid, HOOCCHjCHjCOOH. 

The discrete protonation states methods have been tested in pKa calculations for several small molecules and peptides, including succinic acid [4, 25], acetic acid [93], a heptapeptide derived from ovomucoid third domain [27], and decalysine [61], However, these methods have sofar been tested on only one protein, the hen egg lysozyme [16, 61, 71], While the method using explicit solvent for both MD and MC sampling did not give quantitative agreement with experiment due to convergence difficulty [16], the results using a GB model [71] and the mixed PB/explicit... 

Glutaric acid is a linear, five carbon molecule with carboxylic acid groups on both ends. It contains one additional carbon in length than the similar compound succinic acid. The anhydride... 

Maleic acid is a linear four carbon molecule with carboxylate groups on either end similar to succinic acid, but with a double bond between the central carbon atoms. The anhydride of maleic... 

Interestingly, it is found that chiral exhibition is not simply limited to systems in which chiral molecules are adsorbed at achiral surfaces (i.e., adsorption of (R, R)-7A on the Ni or Cu surface) but it can also be displayed in systems where no initial chirality is present, i.e., from the adsorption of achiral molecules at achiral surfaces [203-211], Raval and coworkers [203] reported on the adsorption of succinic acid on Cu(l 1 0) and compared the results with those found for (R,R)-TA. Structurally, succinic acid is very similar to TA, with the only difference being that the two hydroxyl groups present in TA are replaced by hydrogen atoms, leading to a consequent loss of both chiral centers (Figure 14.7). 

It is important to emphasize that the introduction of a spacer should never affect the binding characteristics of the support. The selected spacer must not introduce any charges and should not be sufficiently hydrophobic to cause any kind of non-specific interaction. Several molecules can fulfill this demand but only a few of them are regularly used. Most of these contain terminal amino or carboxylic groups. In particular these are diaminodipropyl amine, 6-aminocapronic acid, 1,6-diaminohexane, ethylenediamine, l,3-diamino-2-propanol, succinic acid, 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether, and others [96]. Extensive description of other bifunctional reagents can be found in the book of Wong [89].
