Direct benzoylation of the two hydroxyl groups on chitosan was achieved using a phosphoryl mixed anhydride system, derived from trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA), benzoic acids (BAs), and phosphoric acid (PA). The reaction is operated as a one pot process under mild conditions that does not require neither an inert atmosphere nor dry solvents. The structures of the synthesized compounds were con...

BACKGROUND Phosphoryl transfer, typically involving high energy phosphate donors such as ATP, is the most common class of biological reactions. Despite this, the transition state for phosphoryl transfer from ATP in solution has not been systematically investigated. Characterization of the transition state for the uncatalyzed hydrolysis of ATP would provide a starting point for dissection of enz...

Rat liver microsomal glucose 6-phosphatase catalyses phosphoryl transfer between D-glucose 6-[(R)-16O,17O,18O]phosphate and D-glucose with retention of configuration at the phosphorus atom. Since individual phosphoryl-transfer steps appear in general to occur with inversion of configuration, this observation is most simply interpreted in terms of a double-displacement mechanism with a phosphory...

1. Ehrlich ascites-cell extracts convert choline and ethanolamine approximately equally well into their respective phosphoryl derivatives. 2. Choline is a potent inhibitor of ethanolamine phosphorylation, but ethanolamine has little effect on choline phosphorylation. 3. 2,3-Dimercaptopropanol, cysteine and Ca2+ inhibit ethanolamine phosphorylation, but have no detectable effect on choline phosp...

The title compound, C26H38ClN2OP, was synthesized by reacting phosphoryl chloride with N,N'-bis-(2,6-diiso-propyl-phen-yl)ethane-1,2-di-amine in the presence of N-methyl-morpholine which acted as an auxilliary base to quench the HCl released as a by-product. The resultant N-heterocyclic phosphine five-membered ring adopts a half-chair conformation and features a tetra-coordinate P atom ligated ...

siilver tetrafluoroborate complex of 5.11.17.23-tetra-tert-butyl-25-26,27,28-tetrakis (diphenylphosphinoylmethoxy)calyx[4]arene (l) has been synthesized by reaction of silver tetrafluoroborate and l in dichloromethane at room temperature. the complex formed has a 1:1 metall/ligand ratio. 1h and 31p nmr data support an encapsulated structure of the complex in which silver ion is located inside t...

Louisianin A (1) was treated with phosphoryl chloride (POC13) at 120~ 125°C3) to obtain chloro derivative (2) in 86% yield. 2 was reduced by Zn-AcOH at 50°C4) to afford 3 (52% yield) and 4 (35% yield). Furthermore, under the same condition, 3 was dechlorinated to give 4 in 48% yield. Moreover, 4 was oxidized in the treatment of CrO3-pyridine5) to obtain louisianin C (5) in 75% yield. Finally, 5...
