The design and synthesis of new molecular hybrids composed of protoporphyrin IX (PPIX) and vitamin B12 via copper catalyzed alkyne azide cycloaddition reaction is described. New, clickable aminoazide and aminoalkyne linkers were prepared and subsequently attached to PPIX (via vinyl group) and to vitamin B12 giving desired building blocks. Preliminary results showed that respective water soluble hybrids were formed under CuAAC reaction. Gratifyingly, Cu incorporation into the PPIX core was avoided, which was important for further biological studies.

Vitamins are a heterogeneous group of organic compounds that help ensure the human bodys wellbeing and function. This paper introduces the importance of all vitamins, both water-soluble and fat-soluble, as well as problems deriving from their deficiency. Additionally, vitamin supplements as part of treating vitamin deficiency, and possible harmful effects on the human body areshowcased. The main focus of the paper is on the vitamin B complex, and vitamin B12 specifically. The benefits of vitamin B12, as well as its action in the human body and the noxious effects of any lack of vitamin B12 in the human body, are also discussed. Some of the health conditionsan individual may need to face when they have vitamin B12 deficiency include neural tube defects, Alzheimers disease, depression, and megaloblastic anaemia, which are also introduced and further discussed, in terms of symptomatology, causes and suggested treatment. The toxicity of vitamin B12 is also introduced, and possible causes for vitamin B12 deficiency are showcased.

The [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction is a useful tool to realize unusual chemical transformations which are not achievable by traditional methods. Here, we report our work during the past two decades that involve utilization of transition-metal complexes in a [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization reaction. Several key “building blocks” were assembled by a [2+2+2] cycloaddition approach and they have been further expanded by other synthetic transformations to design unusual amino acids and peptides, diphenylalkanes, bis- and trisaryl benzene derivatives, annulated benzocycloalkanes, spirocycles, and spirooxindole derivatives. Furthermore, we have also discussed about alkyne surrogates, environmentally friendly, and stereoselective [2+2+2] cycloaddition reactions. Application of the [2+2+2] cycloaddition reaction in total synthesis is also covered. In this review we also included others work to give a balanced view of the recent developments in the area of [2+2+2] cycloaddition.1 Introduction2 Unusual Amino Acids and Peptides3 Heteroanalogues of Indane4 Diphenylalkane Derivatives5 Multi-Armed Aryl Benzene Derivatives6 Annulated Benzocycloalkanes7 Spirocycles8 Selectivity in [2+2+2] Cycloaddition of Alkynes9 [2+2+2] Cycloaddition Reactions under Environmentally Friendly Conditions10 Alkyne Surrogates11 Domino Reactions involving a [2+2+2] Cycloaddition12 Biologically Important Targets/Total Synthesis13 Conclusions

1. Hepatocytes isolated from vitamin B12-deficient and vitamin B12-supplemented rats were maintained in primary culture and were used to study the effect of methionine on the metabolism of [3H]folic acid and [5-14C]methyltetrahydrofolic acid.2. Vitamin B12 levels were reduced by approximately 75% in the hepatocytes from the deficient animals. Total folate and methyltetrahydrofolic acid concentrations were also significantly reduced.3. There was no significanct difference in the uptake and retention of added [3H[folic acid and [5-14C]-methyltetrahydrofolic acid between the hepatocytes of the two groups. The incorporation of 14C into phospholipids was reduced by approximately 60% in the vitamin B12-deficient hepatocytes (P < 0.001).4. The addition of methionine to the culture medium doubled the uptake and retention of 3H in both groups, but it did not change the amount of water-soluble 14C Compounds. In the vitamin B12-deficient hepatocytes mainly methylated folate increased, whereas non-methylated folate increased in the hepatocytes of the control animals. A tenfold increase of 14C incorporated into phospholipids was found in both groups after methionine was added.5. Demethylation of methyltetrahydrofolic acid, the intracellular retention of folate and the utilization of liberated methyl groups, for example in the methylation of phospholipids, were highest in the presence of both methionine and vitamin B12 suggesting an intimate co-ordination between these two substances in the regulation of folate metabolism.

Cobyric acid and cobinamide are valuable building blocks for the synthesis of artificial cobalamins modified at the nucleotide loop. However, truncated vitamin B[Formula: see text] derivatives are devoid of the phosphate group. We have found that 2-iodoxy benzoic acid-mediated phosphorolysis leads to the cleavage of only one of the phosphodiester bond giving a vitamin B[Formula: see text] analogue with the phosphate moiety preserved. Subsequent alkylation with an organic halide establishes its role as a precursor for the synthesis of vitamin B[Formula: see text] mimics modified at the nucleotide loop.

The present paper describes a greener sustainable route toward the synthesis of NIPHUs. We report a highly efficient solvent-free process to produce [4,4′-bi(1,3-dioxolane)]-2,2′-dione (BDC), involving CO2, as renewable feedstock, and bis-epoxide (1,3-butadiendiepoxide) using only metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) as catalysts and cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a co-catalyst. This synthetic procedure is evaluated in the context of reducing global emissions of waste CO2 and converting CO2 into useful chemical feedstocks. The reaction was carried out in a pressurized reactor at pressures of 30 bars and controlled temperatures of around 120–130 °C. This study examines how reaction parameters such as catalyst used, temperature, or reaction time can influence the molar mass, yield, or reactivity of BDC. High BDC reactivity is essential for producing high molar mass linear non-isocyanate polyhydroxyurethane (NIPHU) via melt-phase polyaddition with aliphatic diamines. The optimized Al-OH-fumarate catalyst system described in this paper exhibited a 78% GC-MS conversion for the desired cyclic carbonates, in the absence of a solvent and a 50 wt % chemically fixed CO2. The cycloaddition reaction could also be carried out in the absence of CTAB, although lower cyclic carbonate yields were observed.

Abstract High levels of urea and creatinine in the blood are a sign of decreased kidney function. To remove these substances from the blood, hemodialysis which utilizes membranes could be used. In this study, a molecularly imprinted membrane (MIM) was synthesized for the selective transport of urea. The synthesis is initiated with the polymerization of eugenol into polyeugenol and then into polyeugenoxy acetate (PA). The PA is then contacted with urea and then used as the functional polymer in the synthesis of MIM with polysulfone as the membrane base, and polyethylene glycol as the cross-linking agent. The result was later analyzed with FTIR and SEM-EDX. The membrane is then used in the transport of urea, creatinine, and vitamin B12 and then compared with the non-imprinted membrane (NIM) performance. By using UV-Vis spectrophotometry, the results showed that the membrane with 10 h heating variation is able to transport more urea and is more selective than NIM; this proves that the urea template on the MIM enables it to recognize urea molecules better than creatinine and vitamin B12. The order of transport from the best results is urea > creatinine > vitamin B12.
