The quantitative analysis of reaction products showed that the reaction of 6(A),6(D)-di-O-trityl-α-cyclodextrin (CD), AD-isomer, with trityl chloride in pyridine at 55 °C gave 6(A),6(B),6(E)-tri-O-trityl-α-CD, the amount of which was only 25% of that of simultaneously formed 6(A),6(B),6(D)-tri-O-trityl-α-CD. This indicates that the bulky trityl groups of glucopyranose-A and -D (Glu-A and -D, re...

Organocatalyst trityl chloride (Ph3CCl), by in situ formation of trityl carbocation with inherent instability, efficiently catalyzes the condensation of dimedone (5,5-dimethyl-1,3-cyclohexanedione) (2 equiv.) with arylaldehydes (1 equiv.) under solvent-free conditions to afford 9-aryl-1,8-dioxo-octahydroxanthenes in high to excellent yields and in relatively short reaction times. Formation of t...

Thymidine phosphorylase (TPase) is one of the key enzymes involved in the pyrimidine nucleoside salvage pathway. However, TPase also stimulates angiogenesis, and its expression correlates well with microvessel density and metastasis in a variety of human tumors. We have shown recently that 5'-O-trityl-inosine (KIN59) allosterically inhibits TPase enzymatic activity. KIN59 also inhibits TPase-in...

The synthesis and characterization of a novel fluorophore(1), with potential application as an optical brightener are reported. This compound was prepared by reacting 4,4-diaminostilbene-2,2-disulfonic acid with cyanuric chloride in the presence of Na2CO3 followed by the addition of trityl aniline. Solution and solid state fluorescence demonstrated a strong blue/purple emission centered at 450 ...

The treatment of β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters with phenols in the presence of trityl chloride and 4 Å molecular sieves in refluxing trifluoroacetic acid afforded 4-aryl-2H-chromenes in high yields, in which a reverse of the regiochemistry of Jørgensen-Rutjes chromane synthesis was observed. The isolation of 4H-chromene intermediates, confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis, indicates that th...

The synthesis and characterization of a series of cobalt complexes featuring a pincer bis(carbene) ligand of the meta-phenylene-bridged bis-N-heterocyclic carbene ((Ar)CCC, Ar = 2,6-diispropylphenyl or mesityl) are reported. Cleavage of the aryl C-H bond of the ligand was achieved in a one-pot metalation procedure using Co(N(SiMe3)2)2(py)2, an equivalent of exogenous base, and trityl chloride t...

Mahmoud Zarei was born in Hamedan, Iran in1986. He received his B.Sc. in Pure Chemistry (2010) from Islamic Azad University Arak and M.Sc. in Organic Chemistry (2013) at Bu-Ali Sina University, Iran. He is currently working towards his Ph.D. under the supervision of Professor Mohammad Ali Zolfigol. His research interest is catalysis, including the application of homogeneous and heterogeneous ca...

A hydrophilic amino-terminated poly(ethylene glycol)-type dual linker for solid phase synthesis of oleanolic acid derivatives using trityl chloride resin was designed and synthesized for the first time. Model reactions in both liquid and solid phase were performed to show the feasibility of its selective cleavage at two different sites. The biological assay results indicated that the long and f...
