The shift of paradigm in combinatorial chemistry, from large compound libraries (of mixtures) on a small scale towards defined where each is prepared an individual well, has stimulated the search for alternative separation approaches. key to rapid and efficient synthesis not only parallel arrangement reactions, but simple work-up procedures so as circumvent time-consuming laborious purification steps. During initial development stages it was believed that rational compounds could be achieved...
The enantioselectivity of chiral palladium catalysts in the kinetic resolution allylic esters can be determined by mass spectrometric monitoring allyl–Pd intermediates A and B, which are derived from pseudoenantiomeric substrates 1 a b. In contrast to conventional screening methods, based on product analysis, simultaneous catalyst mixtures homogeneous solution is possible. Combinatorial methods have become an important focus research asymmetric catalysis.1, 2 During last few years efficient...
With and now without: Perfluoro-tagged catalysts immobilized on fluorous reversed-phase silica gel can be used for Suzuki Sonogashira C–C coupling reactions (see scheme; R1=e.g., phenyl, 4-MeOC6H4, R2=e.g., 4-NO2C6H4, 4-MeCOC6H4, X=Br, I) without the need perfluorinated solvents. After reaction products were isolated by decantation Pd recovered reused. In catalytic easy handling of catalyst together with its straightforward recovery possible reuse remain an important topic. A widespread...
The use of quasi-enantiomeric substrates and ESI-MS as an analytical tool has made it possible to determine the intrinsic enantioselectivity chiral catalysts by monitoring catalytic intermediates. In this way, potential problems methods based on product analysis, which may be caused catalytically active impurities, partial dissociation a ligand–metal complex, or non-catalytic background reaction can avoided. ESI-MS-based screening is fast, reliable, operationally simple, does not require...

The enantioselectivity of a chiral catalyst can be determined from its racemic form by mass spectrometric screening nonequal mixture two mass-labeled quasienantiomeric substrates. presented method opens up new possibilities for evaluating structures that are not readily available in enantiomerically pure form.
ESI-MS monitoring of the title reaction has led to discovery that dinuclear allyl-bridged PdI complexes are formed reversibly in substantial amounts during catalysis (see scheme; Bz=benzoyl). The structure one such complex was determined by X-ray analysis picture; P yellow, N blue, O red, Pd dark gray). Upon consumption starting materials a new resulting from reductive CCl bond cleavage CH2Cl2 observed. Supporting information for this article is available on WWW under...
Die Entwicklung in der Kombinatorischen Chemie, weg von großen Verbindungsbibliotheken (aus Gemischen) hin zu Bibliotheken aus definierten Einzelverbindungen, die jeweils eigenen Reaktionseinheiten synthetisiert werden, hat eine intensive Suche nach alternativen Trennverfahren ausgelöst. Den Schlüssel einer schnellen und effizienten Synthese liefert zum einen parallele Reaktionsführung, andern Anwendung einfacher Aufarbeitungsverfahren, mit denen sich zeitaufwändige mühsame...
The cytosolic metalloenzyme leukotriene A
Die Enantioselektivität chiraler Palladium-Katalysatoren bei der kinetischen Racematspaltung von Allylestern kann durch massenspektrometrische Bestimmung Allyl-Pd-Intermediate A und B ermittelt werden, die aus den Pseudoenantiomeren 1 a bzw. b entstehen. Im Unterschied zu konventionellen Screeningmethoden, auf Produktanalyse beruhen, eignet sich dieses Verfahren zum Simultanscreening Katalysatormischungen in Lösung.
Leukotriene A4 Hydrolase (LTA4H) is a bifunctional zinc metalloenzyme that comprises both epoxide hydrolase and aminopeptidase activity, exerted by two overlapping catalytic sites. The function of the enzyme catalyzes biosynthesis pro-inflammatory lipid mediator leukotriene (LT) B4. Recent literature suggests LTA4H responsible for degradation tripeptide Pro-Gly-Pro (PGP) which neutrophil chemotactic activity has been postulated. It speculated design selective inhibitors spare pocket may...
Silicalite membranes have been prepared using a novel seeding method. By sonicating silicalite seed crystals in the presence of stainless steel mesh followed by controlled hydrothermal synthesis step it has shown AFM, SEM, and simple diffusion measurements that coherent are produced. The sonication anchors nanometer-sized zeolite seeds to porous support subsequent growth produces membrane grown on this layer.

The parallel workup procedure allowed for straightforward product isolation and catalyst recovery simple extraction steps. In particular, electron-deficient proceeded with good yields be used up times.

The discovery of chiral amino alcohols derived from our previously disclosed clinical LTA4H inhibitor LYS006 is described. In a biochemical assay, their optical antipodes showed similar potencies, which could be rationalized by the cocrystal structures these compounds bound to LTA4H.
