Spin labelling with trityls: to gather information about the structure and dynamics of trityl radicals, spin-labelled polymers were measured with pulsed electron-electron double resonance (PELDOR) and double-quantum coherence (DQC). This study demonstrates that trityl radicals have great potential as spin labels that eliminate some limitations of nitroxide spin labels.

Since the discovery of triphenylmethyl (trityl) cation 120 years ago, a variety aromatic cations having various colors and luminescence properties have been rigorously studied. Many, differently substituted trityl synthesized, their optical elucidated. However, parent, non-substituted highly reactive cation, which was observed to be very weakly luminescent, not subjected detailed investigation....

The synthesis under MW irradiation without solvent of 19 pyrazoles, of which only 8 were known, is described. They bear C-methyl groups and trityl, diphenylmethyl and benzyl groups at positions 1 and 4 of the pyrazole ring. In the reaction between pyrazole and trityl bromide an unexpected reaction occurred and 4-(9-phenyl-9H-fluoren-9-yl)-1Hpyrazole (7) was isolated.

An electrospray ionization source for mass spectrometry is described, which allows one to heat the spray capillary. Thermal dissociation of the trityl dimer 1 and tetra(p-anisyl)hydrazine (3) have been investigated, operating the ESI source as electrolytic cell to ionize neutral species, e.g. the trityl radical 2.

Extremely facile and efficient procedure has been developed for the synthesis of alkyl 2,5-dihydro-2-oxo-5-aryl-3-(arylamino) furan-4-carboxylate in the presence of trityl chloride (TrCl) as an organic catalyst in ethanol at ambient temperature. One-pot three-component reaction of aromatic amines, dimethyl and/or diethyl acetylenedicarboxylates and aryl aldehydes offorded the corossponding 3-am...

Methods for the construction of thiazolo-, thiazino-, and thiazepino-2H-indazoles from o-nitrobenzaldehydes or o-nitrobenzyl bromides and S-trityl-protected 1°-aminothioalkanes are reported. The process consists of formation of the requisite N-(2-nitrobenzyl)(tritylthio)alkylamine, subsequent deprotection of the trityl moiety with TFA, and immediate treatment with aq. KOH in methanol under Davi...

Polychlorinated trityl radicals bearing carboxylate substituents are water soluble persistent radicals that can be used for dynamic nuclear polarization. In contrast to other trityl radicals, the polarization mechanism differs from the classical solid effect. DFT calculations performed to rationalize this behaviour support the hypothesis that polarization is transferred from the unpaired electr...

The human mitotic kinesin Eg5 represents a novel mitotic spindle target for cancer chemotherapy. We previously identified S-trityl-l-cysteine (STLC) and related analogues as selective potent inhibitors of Eg5. We herein report on the development of a series of 4,4,4-triphenylbutan-1-amine inhibitors derived from the STLC scaffold. This new generation systematically improves on potency: the most...
