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.

Aqueous sonochemical synthesis of covalent organic frameworks

Covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are versatile materials platforms for precise function integration owing to their high crystallinity, large surface areas, tunable characteristics and diverse and predictable structures. However, the dominant solvothermal method for COF synthesis requires harsh conditions, including high temperatures, toxic organic solvents, sealed and pressurized reactors, and extended reaction times that often exceed several days.
