Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) Monomers
Peptide nucleic acid (PNA) monomers such as Fmoc-PNA-A(Bhoc)-OH [D5931], Fmoc-PNA-C(Bhoc)-OH [D5932], Fmoc-PNA-G(Bhoc)-OH [D5933] and Fmoc-PNA-T-OH [D5934] are among the most successful synthetic analogues of DNA monomers. For PNA, the sugar-phosphate backbone is replaced by N-(2-aminoethyl)glycine. PNAs feature the stability of hybridization complexes with targeted DNA, the metabolic stability, and the ease of chemical modifications such as fluorescent probe labeling and spacer (linker) insertion. PNAs are applicable to antisense and antigen agents, among other applications.
Organocatalyst for Electrophilic Halogenation of Aromatic Compounds under Mild Conditions
Trip-SMe [D6031], a triptycene-based Lewis base catalyst efficiently catalyzes halogenation of various aromatic compounds using N-halosuccinimide and cocatalyst ( AgSbF6, AgBF4, TfOH, In(OTf)3 etc.). The halogenation proceeds regioselectively under mild conditions (room temperature, neutral). Trip-SMe also catalyzes trifluoromethylthiolation of aromatic compounds.
TCI Practical Example: Palladium-Catalyzed Coupling Reaction of the Heterocyclic Sulfinate
The Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling of pyridine-2-boronic acid with aryl halide does not proceed because pyridine-2-boronic acid is unstable. Pyridine-2-sulfinate can be substituted for pyridine-2-boronic acid. TCI introduces the cross-coupling reaction using sodium pyridine-2-sulfinate [O0533] and 4-bromotoluene by using palladium(II) acetate as a catalyst.
TCI Practical Example: The Regioselective Koenigs-Knorr-Type Glycosylation of Carbohydrates Using a Borinic Acid Ester Catalyst
We are proud to present the regioselective Koenigs-Knorr-type glycosylation of 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl bromide and methyl α-L-fucopyranoside by using 2-aminoethyl diphenylborinate [D0281] as a catalyst.
