However, the relationship between altered glycosylation patterns and the onset and development of reproductive disorders is unclear, mainly limited by the lack of in situ imaging techniques for spermatozoa glycosylation. We developed an efficient and highly specific spermatozoa glycan imaging technique based on the robust chemoselective labeling of sialic acid(Sia) and N-acetyl-D-galactosamine(Gal/GalNAc). We further proposed a “tandem glycan chemoselective labeling” strategy to achieve simultaneous imaging of two types of glycans on spermatozoa. We applied the developed method to the spermatozoa from oligozoospermic patients and diabetic mice and found that these spermatozoa showed higher levels of Sia and Gal/Gal NAc expression than the normal groups. Moreover, spermatozoa from diabetic mice showed a severe decrease in number, viability, and forward motility, suggesting that in vivo glucose metabolism disorders may lead to an elevated level of spermatozoa glycosylation and have a correlation with the development of oligoasthenotspermia. Our work provides a research tool to reveal the relationship between glycosylation modification and spermatozoa quality, and a promising clue for the development of glycan-based reproductive markers.展开更多

Although there have been numerous reports covering the reactions in which they have been taken as 1,3-electrophiles, the reaction at the α-carbon atom of α-oxoketene dithioacetals has seldom been investigated. Junjappa and co-workers found the α- bromination of compound 2 in the presence of NBS led to α-aroyl-α-bromo ketenedithioacetals. However, the flexibility of the functional groups at the α-carbon atom of compound 2 are still limited.展开更多

It has rarely been used in transfer hydrogenation reactions, however. We herein report that a cyclometalated rhodium complex, rhodacycle, catalyzes highly chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones with methanol as the hydrogen source. A wide variety of chalcones, styryl methyl ketones and vinyl methyl ketones, including sterically demanding ones, were reduced to the saturated ketones in refluxing methanol in a short reaction time, with no need for inter gas protection, and no reduction of the carbonyl moieties was observed. The catalysis described provides a practically easy and operationally safe method for the reduction of olefinic bonds in α,β-unsaturated ketone compounds.展开更多

The catalyst has a strong chemoselec-tive activity for the esterification of primary alcohols with R-TTCA in the presence of secondary alcohols. Owing to high yield, high chemoselectivity, and mild conditions used, this is an efficient method for the esterification of prima-ry alcohols with R-TTCA.展开更多

文摘An efficient and low-cost supported Pt catalyst for hydrogenation of niroarenes was prepared with colloid Pt precursors andα-Fe2O3 as a support.The catalyst with Pt content as low as 0.2 wt%exhibits high activities,chemoselectivities and stability in the hydrogenation of nitrobenzene and a variety of niroarenes.The conversion of nitrobenzene can reach 3170 molconv h^–1 molPt^–1 under mild conditions(30°C,5 bar),which is much higher than that of commercial Pt/C catalyst and many reported catalysts under similar reaction conditions.The spatial separation of the active sites for H2 dissociation and hydrogenation should be responsible for the high chemoselectivity,which decreases the contact possibility between the reducible groups of nitroarenes and Pt nanoparticles.The unique surface properties ofα-Fe2O3 play an important role in the reaction process.It provides active sites for hydrogen spillover and reactant adsorption,and ultimately completes the hydrogenation of the nitro group on the catalyst surface.

文摘Methanol is a safe, economic and easy-to-handle hydrogen source. It has rarely been used in transfer hydrogenation reactions, however. We herein report that a cyclometalated rhodium complex, rhodacycle, catalyzes highly chemoselective hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones with methanol as the hydrogen source. A wide variety of chalcones, styryl methyl ketones and vinyl methyl ketones, including sterically demanding ones, were reduced to the saturated ketones in refluxing methanol in a short reaction time, with no need for inter gas protection, and no reduction of the carbonyl moieties was observed. The catalysis described provides a practically easy and operationally safe method for the reduction of olefinic bonds in α,β-unsaturated ketone compounds.

文摘The utilization of readily available amino acids,which is not only an oxygen nucleophile but also a nitrogen nucleophile,in palladium-catalyzed allylic substitution is realized under mild conditions.The chemoselectivity and multiple allylation are controlled by adjusting the reaction conditions.This represents the first example of this convenient access to valuable N,O-diallylated amino acids.Under the title conditions,a range of amino acids(α-,β-,γ-)and dipeptides can be readily converted in to the corresponding allylic products with excellent yields(67 examples,up to 99%yield)as well as good functional group tolerance.

文摘Remote ether groups could be used as directing groups to prepare fully substituted 5-ether-1,2,3-triazoles with exclusive 1,5-regioselectivities and excellent chemoselectivities. Ether group could coordinate with iridium catalyst by lone-pair electron at a distance(up to four σ bonds) away from alkyne to control the regioselectivity by weak coordination effect. The cycloaddition reaction chemoselectively occurred at the propargyl ether moiety of diyne to give unique fully substituted 4-alkynyl-triazole.
文摘A series of esters of R-tetrahydrothiazo-2-thione-4-carboxylic acid [ R-TTCA ] was synthesized by direct esterifica- tion of R-TTCA with alcohols（CH3OH, C2H5OH, n-C3HTOH, i-C3HTOH, n-C4H9OH, sec-C4H9OH） in the presence of TiCl4 as the catalyst at room temperature without using any other solvent or dehydrant in high yields, 91.6%-99.1% for primary alcohols and 55%- 80% for secondary alcohols. The catalyst has a strong chemoselec-tive activity for the esterification of primary alcohols with R-TTCA in the presence of secondary alcohols. Owing to high yield, high chemoselectivity, and mild conditions used, this is an efficient method for the esterification of prima-ry alcohols with R-TTCA.

文摘Comprehensive Summary:The reaction site of aryl diazonium salt was restricted in the position of diazonium moiety,due to the intrinsic electrophilicity of diazonium moiety.Herein,we described an unprecedented chemoselective alkylation of Csp2-H of aryl diazonium salts with 1-iodo-3-pentafluorosulfanylbicyclo[1,1,1]pentane(SF5-BCP-I).This novel alkylation of aryl diazonium salts provided an efficient access to various SF5-BCP substituted aromatics that might have great potential application in the drug discovery.Mechanistic experiments and theoretical studies revealed that the intrinsic electrophilic SF5-BCP radical resulted in the thermodynamic favorable radical addition on Csp2-H site rather than diazonium moiety of aryl diazonium salt.
