Piers' Borane-Induced Tetramerization of Arylacetylenes.

ABSTRACT: We herein report that the reaction of Piers' borane, i. e. HB(C₆ F₅ )₂ , with an excess of arylacetylenes at room temperature leads to tetramerization of the acetylene and the diastereoselective formation of boryl-substituted tetra-aryl-tetrahydropentalenes. The reaction mechanism was investigated by isotope labeling experiments and DFT computations. These investigations indicate that a series of 1,2-carboboration reactions form an octatetraene that undergoes an electrocyclization. Two skeletal rearrangements then presumably lead to the formation of the tetrahydropentalene core. Overall, this intricate and unprecedented transformation comprises five carbon-carbon bond formations in a single reaction.

Borane-induced ring closure reaction of oligomethylene-linked bis-allenes.

Project description:The trimethylene-linked bis-allene 3a reacts with Piers' borane [HB(C6F5)2] by a hydroboration/allylboration sequence to generate the cyclization product 5a. Its pyridine adduct was isolated and characterized by X-ray diffraction. Compound 5a undergoes a typical frustrated Lewis pair 1,2-P/B alkene addition reaction with PPh3 to give the heterobicyclic bridged olefinic zwitterionic product 9a. The tetramethylene-linked bis-allene 3b and its phenylene annulated analogue 3c react with HB(C6F5)2 to give the analogous seven-membered ring products 5b,c under mild conditions. The cyclization product 5a undergoes a series of sequential allylboration reactions with two equivalents of allene followed by ring-closure to give the four-component coupling product 12a. It undergoes FLP addition to an exo-methylene group upon treatment with PPh3. Compound 12a is oxidatively converted to the boron-free alcohol.

Geminal bis-borane formation by borane Lewis acid induced cyclopropyl rearrangement and its frustrated Lewis pair reaction with carbon dioxide.

Project description:Cyclopropylacetylene reacts with two molar equivalents of Piers' borane [HB(C6F5)2] under mild conditions by an addition/rearrangement sequence with cyclopropyl ring opening to give a mixture of two α-B(C6F5)2 substituted tetrahydroboroles. This compound forms an active frustrated Lewis pair with P t Bu3 that heterolytically splits dihydrogen and adds carbon dioxide as a geminal chelate bis-boryl component. The respective reactions of the two-fold HB(C6F5)2 addition to Ph-CH2CH2C[triple bond, length as m-dash]CH were studied as a geminal Lewis acid reference. Most of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction.

Molecular Basis of Ca(II)-Induced Tetramerization and Transition-Metal Sequestration in Human Calprotectin.

Project description:Human calprotectin (CP, S100A8/S100A9 oligomer, MRP8/MRP14 oligomer) is an abundant innate immune protein that contributes to the host metal-withholding response. Its ability to sequester transition metal nutrients from microbial pathogens depends on a complex interplay of Ca(II) binding and self-association, which converts the αβ heterodimeric apo protein into a Ca(II)-bound (αβ)2 heterotetramer that displays enhanced transition metal affinities, antimicrobial activity, and protease stability. A paucity of structural data on the αβ heterodimer has hampered molecular understanding of how Ca(II) binding enables CP to exert its metal-sequestering innate immune function. We report solution NMR data that reveal how Ca(II) binding affects the structure and dynamics of the CP αβ heterodimer. These studies provide a structural model in which the apo αβ heterodimer undergoes conformational exchange and switches between two states, a tetramerization-incompetent or "inactive" state and a tetramerization-competent or "active" state. Ca(II) binding to the EF-hands of the αβ heterodimer causes the active state to predominate, resulting in self-association and formation of the (αβ)2 heterotetramer. Moreover, Ca(II) binding causes local and allosteric ordering of the His3Asp and His6 metal-binding sites. Ca(II) binding to the noncanonical EF-hand of S100A9 positions (A9)D30 and organizes the His3Asp site. Remarkably, Ca(II) binding causes allosteric effects in the C-terminal region of helix αIV of S100A9, which stabilize the α-helicity at positions H91 and H95 and thereby organize the functionally versatile His6 site. Collectively, this study illuminates the molecular basis for how CP responds to high extracellular Ca(II) concentrations, which enables its metal-sequestering host-defense function.

Dehydrogenation of iron amido-borane and resaturation of the imino-borane complex.

Project description:We report on the first isolation and structural characterization of an iron phosphinoimino-borane complex Cp*Fe(η2-H2B[double bond, length as m-dash]NC6H4PPh2) by dehydrogenation of iron amido-borane precursor Cp*Fe(η1-H3B-NHC6H4PPh2). Significantly, regeneration of the amido-borane complex has been realized by protonation of the iron(ii) imino-borane to the amino-borane intermediate [Cp*Fe(η2-H2B-NHC6H4PPh2)]+ followed by hydride transfer. These new iron species are efficient catalysts for 1,2-selective transfer hydrogenation of quinolines with ammonia borane.

Tetramerization of STAT5 regulates monocyte differentiation and the dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis in mice.

Project description:In response to external stimuli during immune responses, monocytes can have multifaceted roles such as pathogen clearance and tissue repair. However, aberrant control of monocyte activation can result in chronic inflammation and subsequent tissue damage. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) induces monocyte differentiation into a heterogenous population of monocyte-derived dendritic cells (moDCs) and macrophages. However, the downstream molecular signals that dictate the differentiation of monocytes under pathological conditions is incompletely understood. We report here that the GM-CSF-induced STAT5 tetramerization is a critical determinate of monocyte fate and function. Monocytes require STAT5 tetramers to differentiate into moDCs. Conversely, the absence of STAT5 tetramers results in a switch to a functionally distinct monocyte-derived macrophage population. In the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) model of colitis, STAT5 tetramer-deficient monocytes exacerbate disease severity. Mechanistically, GM-CSF signaling in STAT5 tetramer-deficient monocytes results in the overexpression of arginase I and a reduction in nitric oxide synthesis following stimulation with lipopolysaccharide. Correspondingly, the inhibition of arginase I activity and sustained supplementation of nitric oxide ameliorates the worsened colitis in STAT5 tetramer-deficient mice. This study suggests that STAT5 tetramers protect against severe intestinal inflammation through the regulation of arginine metabolism.

Aggregation-Induced Dual Phosphorescence from (o-Bromophenyl)-Bis(2,6-Dimethylphenyl)Borane at Room Temperature.

Project description:Designing highly efficient purely organic phosphors at room temperature remains a challenge because of fast non-radiative processes and slow intersystem crossing (ISC) rates. The majority of them emit only single component phosphorescence. Herein, we have prepared 3 isomers (o, m, p-bromophenyl)-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)boranes. Among the 3 isomers (o-, m- and p-BrTAB) synthesized, the ortho-one is the only one which shows dual phosphorescence, with a short lifetime of 0.8 ms and a long lifetime of 234 ms in the crystalline state at room temperature. Based on theoretical calculations and crystal structure analysis of o-BrTAB, the short lifetime component is ascribed to the T1 M state of the monomer which emits the higher energy phosphorescence. The long-lived, lower energy phosphorescence emission is attributed to the T1 A state of an aggregate, with multiple intermolecular interactions existing in crystalline o-BrTAB inhibiting nonradiative decay and stabilizing the triplet states efficiently.

Seismic collapse assessment of bridge piers constructed with steel fibers reinforced concrete.

Project description:Steel fiber is one of the most widely used reinforcements to improve the performance of concrete members. However, few studies have been proposed to study the seismic performance of bridge piers constructed with steel fiber reinforced concrete. This paper presents the collapse vulnerability assessment of typical single bridge piers constructed with steel fibers. Fiber element models of RC bridge piers with and without steel fibers are firstly built by selecting suitable cyclic constitutive laws of steel fiber reinforced concrete, and then calibrated using the experimental results. The seismic capacity and inelastic demand of RC piers with steel fibers are quantified using both nonlinear static pushover analyses and nonlinear incremental dynamic analyses (IDA). In order to conduct the IDA, a suite of 20 earthquake ground motions are selected and scaled to different levels of peak ground acceleration (PGA). Collapse fragility curves are then generated using the maximum drift ratio of piers as the engineering demand parameter (EDP). In order to investigate the impact of various parameters on the collapse fragility curves, six parameters are considered in the parametric study: peak compressive strength of concrete, yield strength of steel, longitudinal reinforcement ratio, axial load ratio, transverse hoops ratio and steel fiber content. It was observed that the concrete strength, longitudinal reinforcement ratio and steel fiber content could significantly affect the collapse fragility curve of the bridge piers with steel fibers.
