Abstract A selective cleavage method for β-O-4 linkages (the γ-TTSA method) was introduced in previous works, which consists of four reaction steps: (1) γ-tosylation, (2) thioetherification, (3) sulfonylation, and (4) mild alkali degradation. This method was applied to the degradation of a lignin polymer model (dehydrogenation polymer, DHP) consisting of guaiacyl units. Each reaction step was followed by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and heteronuclear single quantum coherence nuclear magnetic resonance (HSQC-NMR) spectroscopy. It was demonstrated that only the β-O-4 linkage was selectively cleaved by the γ-TTSA method, although other linkages, such as β-5 and β-β linkages, were also present in the DHP. Consequently, the γ-TTSA method is expected to be also useful for the degradation of native lignins.

AbstractChromatographic separation of methanolic extract of Baphia nitida heartwood gave two crystalline solids characterized as 3,9-dimethoxy-6aR,11aR-dihydro-6H-benzofuro(3,2-C)[1]benzopyran (also known as homopterocarpin) with molecular formula C17H16O4 (1.57% yield) and 2,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde C9H10O3 (2.27% yield). Each of the isolated compounds showed a single spot on developed thin layer chromatographic plate under ultra-violet light (254 nm) and spray reagent (10% sulfuric acid in methanol solution). Structural elucidation was achieved using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, one and two-dimension nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) techniques. Distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer-edited-heteronuclear single quantum coherence (DEPT-ed-HSQC) was also a useful tool that aided the characterization of the two secondary metabolites isolated from Baphia nitida heartwood.

By using a quantitative HSQC-NMR method to measure chemical functionalities within the structure of isolated lignin samples, lignin's upgradability can be very precisely predicted.

The 1,2,3-triazole is a well-known biologically active pharmacophore constructed by the copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition. We herein reported the synthesis of 4-amino-7-chloro-based [1,2,3]-triazole hybrids via Cu(I)-catalyzed Huisgen 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of 4-azido-7-chloroquinoline with an alkyne derivative of acetaminophen. The compound was fully characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR), proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), carbon-13 nuclear magnetic resonance (13C-NMR), heteronuclear single quantum coherence (HSQC), ultraviolet (UV) and high-resolution mass spectroscopies (HRMS). This compound was screened in vitro with different normal and cancer cell lines. The drug likeness of the compound was also investigated by predicting its pharmacokinetic properties.
