Mild and highly efficient I2 and Et3N aided cyclodeselenization of in situ generated selenosemicarbazide is described to obtain 2-amino-1,3,4-oxadiazole peptidomimetics.
A stability-indicating gas chromatography (GC) method has been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of divalproex sodium impurities in pharmaceutical preparation. A technique has been developed whereby the peak purity of a compound with poor UV detection can be determined using a gas chromatograph coupled with a mass spectrometer. The drug products were subjected to hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis, and heat to apply stress conditions. The stability-indicating nature of the method has been proven by establishing peak purity of all stressed samples. The chromatographic separation was performed on a fused silica capillary (Quadrex-FFAP, 30 meter, 0.32 mm and 1 microm film thickness) column. The method validation results indicate that the method is specific, accurate, linear, reproducible, rugged, and robust. The effectiveness of the technique was demonstrated with stability sample analysis of divalproex sodium in its pharmaceutical preparation.
An efficient synthesis of N α -protected amino nitriles from N α -protected amino acid amides employing Ph 3 P, I 2 and NMM was described. Various amino acid amides, protected by Fmoc, Z and Boc were conveniently converted to nitriles in high yields. Side chain protected amino acid amides were well-tolerated and a good yield of products was obtained. The protocol serves as one of the mild, among a few available, methods for the racemization-free conversion of N α -protected amino acid amides to corresponding nitriles with neither harsh condition nor catalyst.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
