Protecting-Group-Free Solid-Phase Anchoring of Polyphenolic C-Glucosidic Ellagitannins and Synthesis of 1-Alkylamino-Vescalagin Derivatives with Chemspeed’s Fully Automated SYNTHESIZER

September 1, 2014

The C-glucosidic ellagitannins vescalagin and vescalin are among the plant polyphenols that have been shown to interact with protein targets in a specific manner. This work describes a protecting-group-free method to immobilize these protein-binding natural products on a solid support, and a functionalizing cleavage method, which is adaptable to the solution-phase synthesis of vescal(ag)in derivatives, and which advantageously permitted the preparation of 1-alkylamino derivatives of vescalagin.

Closed-Loop Bayesian Optimization for the Synthesis of Amine-Grafted Resins for Direct Air Capture

Direct air capture (DAC) of CO2 remains limited by adsorbent performance. Adsorption kinetics are a particularly underexplored lever to improve adsorbents, despite their significance in realistic processes. Today, the profile of 'the' optimal DAC adsorbent displaying high CO2 uptake and selectivity as well as fast sorption kinetics remains unknown.
