- The Cooperative Effect of Both Molecular and Supramolecular Chirality on Cell Adhesion
-
Although helical nanofibrous structures have great influence on cell adhesion, the role played by chiral molecules in these structures on cells behavior has usually been ignored. The chirality of helical nanofibers is inverted by the odd–even effect of methylene units from homochiral l-phenylalanine derivative during assembly. An increase in cell adhesion on left-handed nanofibers and weak influence of cell behaviors on right-handed nanofibers are observed, even though both were derived from l-phenylalanine derivatives. Weak and negative influences on cell behavior was also observed for left- and right-handed nanofibers derived from d-phenylalanine, respectively. The effect on cell adhesion of single chiral molecules and helical nanofibers may be mutually offset.

- Synthesis and characterization of derivatized capped porhyrins
-
The syntheses of porphyrins carrying either a fully hydrophobic cavity with a benzene moiety (32a,b) or a polar cavity with an amidobenzene (32c-d) are described.Terephthaldehyde (1) was converted to benzene-bisalkanoic acids (8, 10) and nitrobenzene-bisalkanoic acids (13 and 16) by using standard methods.The corresponding diacid chlorides 17a-d were used to acylate two equivalents of a β-unsubstituted pyrrole, and the ketonic groups were reduced by diborane.Following the transformation of the nitro function to the acetamide, appropriate modifications of the ethyl ester functions afforded the key bisformylpyrroles 25a-d.The cyanoacrylate-protected formyl pyrrole derivatives were monochlorinated at the α-methyl groups and condensed with two equivalents of an α-unsubstituted pyrrole to give the dipyrromethane dimers.Strong aqueous alkali caused saponification of the two ester groups and deprotection of the formyl functions to produce the dipyrromethane dimer 30, which, after thermal decarboxylation, was cyclized intramolecularly in acidic medium to give the porphyrins 32 (n = 4 or 5, X = H or NHCOCH3).

- Aromatic Spiranes, XIV: Syntheses of 2,2'-Spirobi-(s-hydrindacene) and its precursors
-
The title compound 35 was prepared by catalytic reduction of the diones 29a and 11a. 29a was synthesized by systematic anellation of fivemembered rings to the positions 5,6 and 5',6', resp., of 2,2'-spirobiindane.The preparation of 11a was achieved by Friedel-Crafts cyclisation of bis-(5-indanylmethyl)-malonic acid. s-Hydrindacene-1-one 5a was prepared as a precursor for the synthesis of 11a (see forthcoming publication) and its derivates as models for corresponding anellation and substitution reactions. - Keywords: s-Hydrindacene-1-one and derivates; Mono- and bisanellation; 2,2'-Spirobiindane; 1H-nmr spectra
