Unlocking nature's antioxidants: a novel method for synthesising plasmalogens
Unlocking nature's antioxidants: a novel method for synthesising plasmalogens† Plasmalogens are glycerophospholipids distinguished by their O-(Z)-vinyl ether at the sn-1 position. These lipids are implicated in several disease states requiring analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, which demand synthetic availability for a variety of structural types.
1,4-Dimethoxynaphthalene-2-methyl (‘DIMON’), an oxidatively labile protecting group for synthesis of polyunsaturated lipids
1,4-Dimethoxynaphthalene-2-methyl (‘DIMON’), an oxidatively labile protecting group for synthesis of polyunsaturated lipids† A new benzyl-type protecting group (1,4-dimethoxynaphthalene-2-methyl, ‘DIMON’) for hydroxyl functions can be selectively removed under oxidative conditions without damaging polyunsaturated fatty acyl groups. Its application is shown by the first synthesis of an ether (plasmanyl) phospholipid containing the docosa-(4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-hexaenoyl group.

Synthesis, Characterization, Thermal Properties and Antiproliferative Potential of Copper(II) 4′-phenyl-terpyridine Compounds
Reactions between 4’-phenyl-terpyridine (L) and several Cu(II) salts (p-toluenesulfonate, benzoate and o-, m- or p-hydroxybenzoate) led to the formation of [Cu(p-SO3C6H4CH3)L(H2O)2](p-SO3C6H4CH3) (1), [Cu(OCOPh)2L] (2), [Cu(o-OCOC6H4OH)2L] (3), [Cu(m-OCOC6H4OH)2L]•MeOH (4•MeOH) and [Cu(p-OCOC6H4OH)2L]•2H2O (5•2H2O), which were characterized by elemental and TG-DTA analyses, ESI-MS, IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction, as well as by conductivimetry.
