Nonaqueous Capillary Electrophoretic Enantioseparation of Water Insoluble Tröger's Base Derivatives Using β‐Cyclodextrin as Chiral Selector
Authors: Řezanka Pavel , Sýkora David , Novotný Michal , Havlík Martin , Král Vladimír 
Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTRacemic mixtures of six Tröger's base derivatives were separated by chiral nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis. The separation protocol was optimized first for suitable solvents. Then the applicability of various salts dissolved in organic solvents and their mixtures was evaluated. As chiral selectors β‐cyclodextrin and heptakis(2,6‐di‐O‐methyl)‐β‐cyclodextrin at various concentrations were used. The best enantioselectivity for the studied analytes was obtained utilizing formamide as organic nonaqueous solvent containing a mixture of sodium citrate and tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane acetate as electrolytes, and β‐cyclodextrin as chiral additive. The experimental results demonstrated the feasibility of nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis for enantioseparation of Tröger's base derivatives. This technique represents a suitable alternative to more commonly used capillary electrophoresis in aqueous environment. Chirality 25:810–813, 2013. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
O2 Binding to Heme is Strongly Facilitated by Near‐Degeneracy of Electronic States
Authors: Kepp Kasper P. 
Published: August 2013

AbstractThis paper reports the computed O2 binding to heme, which for the first time explains experimental enthalpies for this process of central importance to bioinorganic chemistry. All four spin states along the relaxed FeO2‐binding curves were optimized using the full heme system with dispersion, thermodynamic, and scalar‐relativistic corrections, applying several density functionals. When including all these physical terms, the experimental enthalpy of O2 binding (−59 kJ mol−1) is closely reproduced by TPSSh‐D3 (−66 kJ mol−1). Dispersion changes the potential energy surfaces and leads to the correct electronic singlet and heptet states for bound and dissociated O2. The experimental activation enthalpy of dissociation (∼82 kJ mol−1) was also accurately computed (∼75 kJ mol−1) with an actual barrier height of ∼60 kJ mol−1 plus a vibrational component of ∼10 and ∼5 kJ mol−1 due to the spin‐forbidden nature of the process, explaining the experimentally observed difference of ∼20 kJ mol−1 in enthalpies of binding and activation. Most importantly, the work shows how the nearly degenerate singlet and triplet states increase crossover probability up to ∼0.5 and accelerate binding by ∼100 times, explaining why the spin‐forbidden binding of O2 to heme, so fundamental to higher life forms, is fast and reversible.

AbstractWe report the synthesis, structural characterization, thermal stability study, and regeneration of nanostructured catalysts made of 2.9 nm Pt nanoparticles sandwiched between a 180 nm SiO2 core and a mesoporous SiO2 shell. The SiO2 shell consists of 2.5 nm channels that are aligned perpendicular to the surface of the SiO2 core. The nanostructure mimics Pt nanoparticles that sit in mesoporous SiO2 wells (Pt@MSWs). By using synchrotron‐based small‐angle X‐ray scattering, we were able to prove the ordered structure of the aligned mesoporous shell. By using high‐temperature cyclohexane dehydrogenation as a model reaction, we found that the Pt@MSWs of different well depths showed stable activity at 500 °C after the induction period. Conversely, a control catalyst, SiO2‐sphere‐supported Pt nanoparticles without a mesoporous SiO2 shell (Pt/SiO2), was deactivated. We deliberately deactivated the Pt@MSWs catalyst with a 50 nm deep well by using carbon deposition induced by a low H2/cyclohexane ratio. The deactivated Pt@MSWs catalyst was regenerated by calcination at 500 °C with 20 % O2 balanced with He. After the regeneration treatments, the activity of the Pt@MSWs catalyst was fully restored. Our results suggest that the nanostructured catalysts—Pt nanoparticles confined inside mesoporous SiO2 wells—are stable and regenerable for treatments and reactions that require high temperatures.
Cobalt‐Based 3D Metal–Organic Frameworks: Useful Candidates for Olefin Epoxidation at Ambient Temperature by H2O2

Published: August 2013

AbstractTwo new 3D metal–organic frameworks (MOF), [Co(H2‐DHBDA)(bpe)]n (1) and [Co(H2‐DHBDA)(bpee)]n (2) [H2‐DHBDA = 2,5‐dihydroxy‐1,4‐benzenediacetate, bpe = 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethylene, bpee = 1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethane], were synthesized hydrothermally. Both compounds have a similar 3D structure. The secondary building unit is a Co2 dimer with a Co···Co distance of 4.02 Å. The hydroxy groups remain free on the surface of the compounds, and they participate in the intramolecular hydrogen bonding. A detailed structural analysis revealed that the structure is a 7‐c uninodal net with the Schläfli symbol 33.413.54.6 and the vertex symbol [3.3.3.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.4.*.*.*.*.*.*]. The compound is catalytically active towards epoxidation reactions in heterogeneous medium with H2O2 as an oxidant. They catalyze the epoxidation of almost all types of olefinic substrates with good efficiency. After the reaction, the catalysts can be recovered quite easily, and they can be used for further reactions without any loss of activity for several cycles.
Organocatalytic Asymmetric Allylic Alkylation of Morita–Baylis–Hillman Carbonates with Phosphorus Ylides: Synthesis of Chiral 3‐Substituted 2,4‐Functionalized 1,4‐Pentadienes

Published: August 2013

AbstractA highly efficient asymmetric allylic substitution of Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) carbonates with phosphorus ylides under the catalysis of modified cinchona alkaloids was developed. The reaction delivered products in moderate to good yields with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98 % ee) for a wide range of MBH carbonates. The scope of the reaction was demonstrated by the synthesis of chiral 3‐substituted 2,4‐functionalized 1,4‐pentadienes.
Copper(I) Acetate‐Catalyzed Cycloaddition between Azomethine Imines and Propiolates under Additive‐Free Conditions
Authors: Shao Changwei , Zhang Qun , Cheng Guolin , Cheng Chuanjie , Wang Xinyan , Hu Yuefei 
Published: August 2013

AbstractBecause propiolates easily undergo base‐catalyzed self‐Michael addition, most popular catalytic systems in CuAAC cannot be used in the cycloaddition between azomethine imines and propiolates, because such reactions usually require the use of tertiary amines as additives (as base and/or ligand). We found that this problem can be resolved simply by using copper(I) acetate as catalyst, in which the acetate serves as a ligand and is converted into acetic acid during the reaction. Thus, copper(I) acetate catalyzed cycloaddition actually proceeds under additive‐free conditions (without exogenous ligand) to efficiently give 6,7‐dihydropyrazolo[1,2‐a]pyrazolone derivatives, in which the side‐reactions and byproducts caused by basic additives are completely avoided.

Predicting Bid–Ask Spreads Using Long‐Memory Autoregressive Conditional Poisson Models
Authors: Groß‐KlußMann Axel , Hautsch Nikolaus 
Published: August 2013

ABSTRACTWe introduce a long‐memory autoregressive conditional Poisson (LMACP) model to model highly persistent time series of counts. The model is applied to forecast quoted bid–ask spreads, a key parameter in stock trading operations. It is shown that the LMACP nicely captures salient features of bid–ask spreads like the strong autocorrelation and discreteness of observations. We discuss theoretical properties of LMACP models and evaluate rolling‐window forecasts of quoted bid–ask spreads for stocks traded at NYSE and NASDAQ. We show that Poisson time series models significantly outperform forecasts from AR, ARMA, ARFIMA, ACD and FIACD models. The economic significance of our results is supported by the evaluation of a trade schedule. Scheduling trades according to spread forecasts we realize cost savings of up to 14 % of spread transaction costs. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Finance—Electric Generation: Comparison of New‐Build Economics for PJM and ERCOT Shows Varying Outcomes
Authors: Ogra Rohit , Templeman Andre 
Published: August 2013

AbstractLower natural gas prices due to the North American shale revolution have put a significant strain on the revenue stream of power generators. The resulting decline in spark spread revenue has also had a follow‐on impact on financing new generation capacity. Lower natural gas prices resulting in lower spark spread is intuitive from the math of spark spreads: Spark Spread = Power − Heat Rate × Gas Price. This can be rewritten as follows:Spark Spread = Market Heat Rate × Gas Price − Reference Heat Rate × Gas Price;= Gas Price × (Market Heat Rate − Reference Heat Rate)

AbstractBackgroundDissection of the central compartment of the neck (CCN) is performed for proven or suspected lymph node metastases of thyroid carcinoma. During this procedure, the recurrent laryngeal nerves and the parathyroid glands are at risk. The purpose of this study was to determine the anatomic distribution of the lymph nodes in the CCN.MethodsThe anatomic distribution of the lymph nodes in the CCN was studied by dissection of 30 fresh cadavers. The soft tissue between the cricoid cartilage and the innominate vein, carotid arteries, and prevertebral fascia was removed and divided according to CCN sublevels. Nodules were identified by palpation in the specimen and sent for pathological examination.ResultsThree to 44 (18.5 ± 10.29) nodules were identified macroscopically. Two to 42 nodules were confirmed as lymph nodes after microscopic examination. The lymph node distribution was as follows: precricoid: 0 to 2 (0.9 ± 0.72); pretracheal: 1 of 35 (12.4 ± 8.19); lateral to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN): 0 to 11 (3.4 ± 2.34); and lateral to the left: 0 to 4 (1.7 ± 1.30). Twenty‐six parathyroid glands were removed by 14 dissections. The innominate vein was found at 15 mm above the superior border of the clavicles to 35 mm below on the left side of the neck and 5 to 45 mm on the right side.ConclusionThe number of confirmed lymph nodes in the central neck varied from 2 to 42. Sixty‐seven percent of the lymph nodes were in the pretracheal sublevel. There was no division between level VI and VII lymph nodes. Additionally, the innominate vein was found to be from 15 mm above the superior border of the clavicles to 35 mm below on the left side of the neck and 5 to 45 mm on the right side. Parathyroid glands were identified to be far away from the thyroid gland. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck, 36: 1425–1430, 2014
