One mechanism previously proposed for the abiotic accumulation of molecules of one chirality in nature is asymmetric adsorption on the chiral surfaces of optically active quartz crystals. Earlier literature in this field is reviewed, with the conclusion that previous investigations of this phenomenon, using optical rotation criteria, have afforded ambiguous results. We now have studied the adsorption of radioactive D- and L-alanine on powdered d- and l-quartz, using change in radioactivity level as a criterion for both gross and differential adsorption. d-Quartz preferentially adsorbed D-alanine from anhydrous dimethyl-formamide solution, and l-quartz L-alanine. The differential adsorption varied between 1.0 and 1.8%. The implications of these observations are discussed from the viewpoint of early chemical evolution and the origin of optically active organic compounds in nature.  相似文献

Ionic liquids have recognized as a solvent for Geotrichum candidum-catalyzed optical resolution and/or deracemization of racemic secondary alcohols, giving optically active alcohols. The immobilized Geotrichum candidum proceeded the enantioselective oxidation of alcohols, producing chiral alcohols in an ionic liquid. Further, deracemization of racemic alcohols was proceeded to give the corresponding chiral alcohols in high yield with excellent stereoselectivity by the Geotrichum candidum–NaBH4 system in the mixture of MES buffer solution and ionic liquid.  相似文献

It is shown that natural chiral catalysts, which could be formed e.g., from optically active amino acids on basic natural minerals, could lead, at early stages of evolution, to the formation of rather complex optically active products from starting achiral compounds. Using biomimetic combinations of vanadium ion complexes and chiral ligands synthesized from widely occurring natural compounds, we created novel catalytic systems, permitting the transfer of optical activity in the course of catalytic chemical transformations of achiral compounds. We found that in the presence of natural clay, optically active terpenoids from the pinane series undergo multistage transformations, forming unexpected new products with preservation of optical purity.  相似文献

We reported on the in situ nonlinear optical sectioning of the corneal and retinal tissues based on the multiphoton microscopy (MPM) with different excitation wavelengths of infrared femtosecond (fs) lasers. The multiphoton nonlinear processing including two-photon fluorescence (2PF) and second harmonic generation (SHG) was induced under condition of high light intensities on an order of MW-GW/cm2. The laser beams emitted from the solid-state Ti: sapphire systems were focused in a 0.1 femtoliter focus volume of a high numerous aperture diffraction-limited objective (40 × 1.3 N.A., oil). The corneal layers have been visualized using nonlinear optical tomography. In particular, corneal Bowman’s layer was optically determined in situ. The cellular and collagen components of tissues were selectively displayed with submicron spatial resolution and high efficiency without any assistance of staining or slicing. The preliminary study on retinal optical tomography is here also reported. MPM is a promising and convenient non-invasive technique by which the tissue layers can be visualized and the selective displaying of the tissue microstructures be realized. The optical biopsy based on intrinsic emission of MPM yields details that provide three-dimensional displaying of the tissue component and even have the potential to be used in clinical diagnostics.Dedicated on the occasion of the 66th birthday of Professor Dr. Karl-Juergen Halbhuber  相似文献

Based on nonlinear phenomena of biophoton emission observed in the past, an interference model concerning with the mechanism of interaction between living organisms and electromagnetic fields was raised. Caused by biological nonlinearly polarizable double layer, destructive interference of incoming and reflected waves establishes in the outside. As a consequence, in the inside constructive interference takes place at the same time. The interference patterns may play an important role in biological self organization and in biological functions. We investigate the boundary conditions necessary for explaining these non-linear optical effects in terms of the phase conjugation. It turns out that there are solutions of the Maxwell equations which satisfy destructive interference of biophotons in agreement with the experimental results. Necessary provisions are nonlinearly polarizable optically active double layers of distances which are small compared to the wavelength of light. In addition, they have to be a  相似文献

Necessary provisions are nonlinearly polarizable optically active double layers of distances which are small compared to the wavelength of light. In addition, they have to be able to move into the nodal planes of the impinging waves within a small time interval compared to the coherence time. These conditions are likely fulfilled in the optically dense, but ordered and optically excited, highly polarizable living matter.  相似文献

We studied the spontaneous formation of chiral crystals of four diaryl ethers, 3‐phenoxybenzaldehyde, 1 ; 1,3‐dimethyl‐2‐phenoxybenzene, 2 ; di(4‐aminophenyl) ether, 3 ; and di(p‐tolyl) ether, 4 . Compounds 1 , 3 , and 4 form conformationally chiral molecules in the solid state, while the chirality of 2 arises from the formation of supramolecular helices. Compound 1 is a liquid at ambient temperature, but 2 , 3 , 4 are crystalline, and solid‐state CD‐spectroscopy showed that they could be obtained as optically active bulk samples. It should be noted that the optical activity arise upon crystallization, and no optically active precursors were used. Indeed, even commercial samples of 3 and 4 were found to be optically active, giving evidence for the ease at which total spontaneous resolution may occur in certain systems.

Five optically active urea derivatives ( 1 ‐ 5 ) were used as NMR solvating agents for analysis of the optical purity of different 2‐arylpropanoic acids commonly used as nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs. These novel chiral solvating agents were more efficient at discriminating the respective enantiomers of targets than the chiral solvating agents known so far, without the need to add a base for achieving the signal splitting. The advantages and limits of the use of these novel chiral solvating agents were studied.  相似文献

New chiral azoaromatic dendrimeric systems have been synthesized starting from 1,3,5‐benzenetricarbonyl trichloride as the core molecule. The simultaneous presence of the (S)‐3‐hydroxy pyrrolidinyl ring as the optically active moiety and the azobenzene donor‐acceptor conjugated system as the photochromic group with permanent dipole moment, makes these systems potentially interesting as materials for advanced applications in nanotechnologies. All the compounds obtained have been characterized with particular attention to the effects induced by changing the electron‐withdrawing group in the chromophoric moiety and to their optical activity. A strong nonlinear enhancement of chiroptical properties related to the number of chiral units linked to the symmetrical core is observed in these derivatives, which indicates the presence of conformationally chiral substructures.

The syntheses of new optically active C(2)-symmetrical bis-beta-amino alcohols 1-6 from (S)-2-(1-hydroxy-1,1-diphenylmethyl)-pyrrolidine are described. Especially attention is focused on bridges, which link the two beta-amino alcohol units. These new chiral ligands have been successfully applied in the catalytic enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes to give sec-alcohols in good yields with up to 95% enantiomeric excess.  相似文献

The asymmetric synthesis polymerization or “enantiogenic” polymerization of some meso oxiranes, cis-dimethyloxirane (cis-DMO) and cyclohexene oxide (CHO), and thiiranes, cis-dimethylthiirane (cis-DMT) and cyclohexene sulfide (CHS), initiated with different chiral systems was examined. Strong differences in behaviour were observed between oxiranes and thiiranes depending on the initiator used. The initiators based on ZnEt2 or CdMe2 and a chiral diol give optically active polymers from meso thiiranes but fail to induce an asymmetric polymer synthesis with meso oxiranes. A new chiral initiator based on ZnEt2 and (1S,2R)-ephedrine allowed us to prepare optically active poly CHOs, which can be fractionated into fractions exhibiting opposite optical activities. © 1992 Wiley-Liss, Inc.  相似文献

The copper-catalyzed diastereoselective imidation of diaryl sulfides bearing a chiral oxazolinyl moiety at the ortho-position with [N-(p-toluenesulfonyl) imino]phenyliodinane (TsN=IPh) or Chloramine-T trihydrate [TsN(Cl)Na.3H2O] was successfully carried out to give the corresponding optically active N-tosylsulfimides in good yields. For example, the imidation of diphenyl sulfide bearing a methoxymethyl moiety at the 4-position of the oxazoline ring with TsN(Cl)Na.3H2O in acetonitrile in the presence of 10 mol% Cu(OTf)2 at 25 degrees C for 24 h affords the corresponding optically active N-tosylsulfimide in 52% isolated yield with a high diastereoselectivity of 99%. Hydrolysis of the optically active N-p-tosylsulfimides converts them into the corresponding optically active sulfimides in high yields without loss of diastereoselectivity. These novel optically active sulfimides and N-tosylsulfimides work as efficient chiral ligands for palladium(II)-catalyzed allylic alkylation of 1, 3-diphenyl-3-acetoxy-1-propene with dimethyl malonate to give the corresponding alkylation product quantitatively and with a high stereoselectivity (up to 90% ee).  相似文献

A plant's morphology is both strongly influenced by local light availability and, simultaneously, strongly influences this local light availability. This reciprocal relationship is complex, but lies at the heart of understanding plant growth and competition. Here, we develop a sub-individual-based simulation model, cast at the level of interacting plant components. The model explicitly simulates growth, development and competition for light at the level of leaves, branches, etc., located in 3D space. In this way, we are able to explore the manner in which the low-level processes governing plant growth and development give rise to individual-, cohort-, and community-level phenomena. In particular, we show that individual-level trade-offs between growing up and growing out arise naturally in the model, and robustly give rise to cohort-level phenomena such as self-thinning, and community processes such as the effect of ecological disturbance on the maintenance of biodiversity. We conclude with a note on our methodology and how to interpret the results of simulation models such as this one.  相似文献

Chiroptical detection for HPLC is particularly useful as a selective detection method for chiral molecules, and in enantiomeric purity determination with partial chiral separation or without chiral separation. The recent development of laser-based polarimeters with microdegree sensitivity has increased the applicability of optical rotation detection in HPLC. The detection limit of these instruments is submicrogram on-column for many chiral compounds in analytical HPLC. A variety of applications of the selective detection of optically active molecules are reviewed. The use of polarimetric detection with partial chiral separation is considered, both as an aid to method development and for enantiomeric purity determination. Finally applications to enantiomeric purity determination without chiral separation are reviewed, with the dual use of nonchirally selective and chiroptical detectors to determine the total amount and optical purity of the analyte. Determinations of chiral purity for samples of high enantiomeric excess are described, which with laser-based instrumentation may give accuracies of better than +/- 1% with sample loadings of 50 micrograms on an achiral column. Applications to the study of enantioselective reactions are also considered, with determination of enantiomeric excess in near-racemates to better than +/- 0.1%.  相似文献

Chiral objects which scatter and absorb preferentially left versus right circularly polarized light give rise to bright-field circular dichroism (CD) images containing contributions from both these two phenomena. These contributions are separated and characterized mathematically, and the effect of the dimensions of the chiral object on their relative magnitude is discussed. CD images of the long-range chiral organization of the thylakoid membranes in chloroplasts are obtained at two different wavelengths to illustrate the diverse wavelength dependence of the preferential absorption and scattering contributions to the images. The bright field CD images not only depend on the magnitude and sign of the preferential scattering and preferential absorption contributions, but also on the numerical aperture of the lens used. This dependence is obtained formally and a method to extract the angle dependent preferential scattering contributions to the images is presented. The validity of this method is confirmed experimentally.  相似文献

One of the main characteristics of terrestrial life is the role of optically active organic substances. Thus a search for chiral compounds and optical activity on an extraterrestrial body may give an indication of the presence of life, either fossilized or still in existence. If only abiotic conditions are prevailing the same search may still provide interesting information on the possible origins of homochiral families of biomolecules on Earth (e.g. the amino acids). In this respect, Saturn's satellite Titan is exemplary. A list of some of the most simple chiral derivatives devoid of oxygen atoms possibly present on Titan is presented. The interest of an investigation of optical activity is discussed taking into account some significant parameters. This raises numerous difficult technical problems which once solved may be helpful for further exploration of other planets.  相似文献

Orientation of optically nonlinear organic molecules inside sol-gel matrices upon application of an external D.C. electrical field is demonstrated for the first time. The quadratic nonlinear response of silicon oxide or transition metal oxide based gels containing organic molecules has been determined from Electric Field Induced Second Harmonic (EFISH) measurements. Large concentrations of Optically Nonlinear Organic Molecules (ONOM) have been either incorporated inside the macromolecular network or chemically bonded to the oxide backbone of the gels. These results demonstrate the feasibility of permanently poled doped sol-gel matrices. Moreover, EFISH measurements performed on organic molecules appear to be a useful tool for monitoring the changes occurring during sol-gel transformations.  相似文献

Novel optically active oligothiophenes bearing electron-donating chiral side chains have been prepared by synthetic methods suitable to achieve regioregular head-to-tail and head-to-head/tail-to-tail derivatives. In particular, the chiral (S)-(2-methyl)butyl moiety was linked at position 3 of the thiophene ring through heteroatoms, such as S or O, to evaluate its effect on the macro molecular aggregation and, consequently, on the chiroptical properties of the material in the solid state. The materials have been fully characterized and investigated by optical and chiroptical methods upon aggregation both from the solution and as cast films. Compared with the related head-to-tail and head-to-head/tail-to-tail poly(3-alkyl)thiophene derivatives, with the same optically active moiety directly linked to the ring and possessing a higher polymerization degree, the chiroptical properties of the newly synthesized oligomers were significant, or even better, and provided insight into the role of intrachain–interchain interactions between the heteroatom and the thienyl sulfur atom.  相似文献

A number of enzymes with reasonable to excellent selectivities for the conversion of prochiral 2-benzylglyceroldiacetate 1c into optically active monoacetate 2c could be identified in a screening of microbial esterases and lipases. For the synthesis of the S-enantiomer of 2c by hydrolysis, two enzymes (from Aspergillus fumigatus and from Mucor javanicus) were identified which give the product with an e.e.-value of 75%. The R-enantiomer can be obtained with a purified lipase/esterase from Pseudomonas fluorescens in 96% e.e. The optical purity of the product was determined without derivatisation by chromatography on a chiral HPLC-column.  相似文献
