A method has been developed for the synthesis of semicrystalline poly(arylene ether ether sulfide) materials by first preparing a soluble, amorphous sulfoxide containing precursor, then rapidly reducing the sulfoxide moiety to sulfide. The sulfoxide polymers are synthesized using conventional nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions between difluorodiphenyl sulfoxide and diphenols. Reductio...

A simple and reliable method, based on that described by W. Seubert (1960, Biochem Prep. 7, 80-83), has been developed for the chemical synthesis of radioactive acyl coenzyme A’s. I-14C-labeled fatty acids (palmitic, oleic, and linoleic) are converted to their acyl chlorides with oxalyl chloride. The [l-14C]acyl chlorides are then condensed with a twoto three-fold molar excess of coenzyme A in ...

thionyl chloride (or oxalyl chloride) has been used as an efficient and cheap acid activator for one-pot synthesis of β-lactams in good to excellent yields by reaction between imines and acids in the presence of triethylamine at room temperature.

In contrast to tertiary phosphine oxides, the deoxygenation of aminophosphine oxides is effectively impossible due to the need to break the immensely strong and inert PO bond in the presence of a relatively weak and more reactive PN bond. This long-standing problem in organophosphorus synthesis is solved by use of oxalyl chloride, which chemoselectively cleaves the PO bond forming a chloroph...

Oligonucleotides bearing a terminal lipophilic group attached through a biodegradable ester bond should be useful as antisense pro-drugs with improved cellular uptake. The synthesis of 5'-ester oligonucleotides is, however, problematic due to lability of the ester bond during aqueous ammonia treatment that is commonly used for the deprotection of synthetic oligonucleotides. The synthesis of 5'-...

In this work we report on gelation properties, self-assembly motifs, chirality effects and morphological characteristics of gels formed by chiral retro-dipeptidic gelators in the form of terminal diacids (1a-5a) and their dimethyl ester (1b-5b) and dicarboxamide (1c-5c) derivatives. Terminal free acid retro-dipeptides (S,S)-bis(LeuLeu) 1a, (S,S)-bis(PhgPhg) 3a and (S,S)-bis(PhePhe) 5a showed mo...

The synthesis and characterization of the precursor isomers trans-4-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)vinylbenzaldehyde (I), trans-4-(2-(pyridin-4-yl)vinylbenzaldehyde (II), trans-4-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)vinylbenzoic acid (III) and (E)-4-(2-(pydridin-4-yl)vinylbenzoic acid (IV) are reported. These compounds were prepared in order to obtain trans-4-((E)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)vinyl)benzamide-TEMPO (V). Compounds I and II we...
