Basic polysaccharide strongly inhibited the hydrolysis of trioleoylglycerol (TO) emulsified with phosphatidylcholine and taurocholate by either pancreatic lipase or carboxylester lipase. DEAE-Sephadex dose-dependently inhibited the hydrolysis of TO by pancreatic lipase and carboxylester lipase; however, carboxymethyl-Sephadex and Sephadex G-50 did not inhibit the hydrolysis. Polydextrose (PD), ...

A new palladium-catalyzed picolinamide (PA)-directed ortho-iodination reaction of ε-C(sp(2))-H bonds of γ-arylpropylamine substrates is reported. This reaction proceeds selectively with a variety of γ-arylpropylamines bearing strongly electron-donating or withdrawing substituents, complementing our previously reported PA-directed electrophilic aromatic substitution approach to this transformati...

ABSTRACT Background and Objective: Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related neurodegenerative disorder with massive loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. L-Dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA) substitution is still the gold standard therapy for PD. However, there has been little information available on neuroprotective and regenerative therapies for PD. Due to the neu...

A series of novel Pd(ii) complexes with chelating mono(imidazolin-2-imine) and bis(imidazolin-2-imine) ligands were synthesized. The crystal structures of [Pd(DMEAIm(iPr))Cl2] and [Pd(DPENIm(iPr))Cl2] were determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. The reactivity of the six Pd(ii) complexes, namely, [Pd(en)Cl2], [Pd(EAIm(iPr))Cl2], [Pd(DMEAIm(iPr))Cl2], [Pd(DPENIm(iPr))Cl2], [Pd(BL(iPr))Cl2] and...

We present a mechanistic investigation of Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution of cyclic gem-difluorinated carbonates 1 and 4, previously employed in the synthesis of 3',3'-difluoro-2'-hydroxymethyl-4',5'-unsaturated carbocyclic nucleosides in 17 steps. The substitution features a reversal of regioselectivity caused by fluorine.

The fenchol-based P-H phosphonite BIFOP-H exeeds with 65% ee other monodentate ligands in the Pd-catalyzed substitution of 1-phenyl-2-propenyl acetate with dimethylmalonate.

The mechanism of olefin substitution at palladium(0) has been studied, and the results provide unique insights into the fundamental reactivity of electron-rich late transition metals. A systematic series of bathocuproine-palladium(0) complexes bearing trans-beta-nitrostyrene ligands (ns(X) = X-C(6)H(4)CH=CHNO(2); X = OCH(3), CH(3), H, Br, CF(3)), (bc)Pd(0)ns(X) (3(X)), was prepared and characte...
