A method for the synthesis of long chain diamines and tetramines starting from natural α-amino acids is reported. Diamines and tetramines were prepared through the Wittig olefination reaction of N-protected amino aldehydes obtained from phenylalanine and lysine. A 1,2,17,18-tetramine was synthesized using (2S)-1-azido-2-[bis(tertbutoxycarbonyl)-amino]-5-oxopentane as key-intermediate compound.

ECL of several amines containing different numbers of hydroxyl and amino groups was investigated. N-butyldiethanolamine is found to be more effective than 2-(dibutylamino)ethanol at gold and platinum electrodes, and is the most effective coreactant reported until now. Surprisingly, ECL intensities of monoamines, such as 2-(dibutylamino)ethanol and N-butyldiethanolamine, are much stronger than t...

A novel AIE poly(phosphoramidate) was synthesized through an ester ammonolysis reaction by using triethyl phosphate and diamines. Surprisingly, the obtained polymer is sensitive to Cu 2+ can be used as in situ visual detection agent for .

1. The induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity in mouse 3T3 fibroblasts or an SV-40 transformed 3T3 cell line by serum was prevented by addition of the naturally occurring polyamines putrescine (butane-1,4-diamine) and spermidine. Much higher concentrations of these amines were required to fully suppress ornithine decarboxylase activity in the transformed SV-3T3 cells than in the 3T3 fibr...

We describe the synthesis of N -functionalised phosphinecarboxamides obtained by reaction 2-phosphaethynolate anion (PCO ? ) with diamines, specifically hydrazine, methylenediamine and ethylenediamine.

The Cu(I)-catalyzed N,N'-diarylation of natural diamines and polyamines such as putrescine, cadaverine, spermine, spermidine and their homologues is described. Aryl iodides bearing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups have been employed in the study. The CuI/2-(isobutyryl)cyclohexanone/DMF catalytic system has found to be more efficient in the diarylation of diamines and spermine w...

C2-symmetric vicinal diamines 3b–f, derived from L-tartaric acid, with increasingly bulky terminal ether functionalities were prepared using two distinct sequences. Diamines 3b,c were obtained from the corresponding vicinal diols 4b,c, while diamines 3d–f were generated from dihydroxydiazide 7 via deprotection–reprotection strategies. © 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Marine bacteria removed two diamines, putrescine and cadaverine, from coastal seawater supplemented only with these compounds. Batch cultures of natural bacterial communities were grown in filtered seawater (0.05 mum) supplemented with 500 mug of putrescine or cadaverine per liter. Increases in bacterial cell number were counted with an epifluorescence microscope after acridine orange staining....

[reaction: see text] Organocatalytic asymmetric Mannich reaction of protected amino ketones with imines in the presence of an L-proline-derived tetrazole catalyst afforded diamines with excellent yields and enantioselectivities of up to 99%. The amino ketone protecting group controlled the regioselectivity of the reaction providing access to chiral 1,2-diamines from azido ketones and 1,4-diamin...
