Mechanisms and Drivers for the Establishment of Life Cycle Complexity in Myxozoan Parasites.

It is assumed that complex life cycles in cnidarian parasites belonging to the Myxozoa result from incorporation of vertebrates into simple life cycles exploiting aquatic invertebrates. However, nothing is known about the driving forces and implementation of this event, though it fostered massive diversification. We performed a comprehensive search for myxozoans in evolutionary ancient fishes (Chondrichthyes), and more than doubled existing 18S rDNA sequence data, discovering seven independent phylogenetic lineages.

Current practices in percutaneous nephrolithotomy in Mexico: results of a nation-wide electronic survey.

Practice patterns and choice of technological instruments in PCNL are not always standardized. There are no previous reports on the PCNL practice tendencies and patterns in Latin America. The aim of the study is to describe the current practice patterns of PCNL among the members of the Mexican Society of Urology ("Sociedad Mexicana de Urologia").

Why p-Cymene? Conformational effect in asymmetric hydrogenation of aromatic ketones with a η(6) -arene/ruthenium(II) catalyst.

The global reaction route mapping (GRRM) methods conveniently define transition states in asymmetric hydrogenation and transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones via the [RuH{(S,S)-TsNCH(C6 H5 )CH(C6 H5 )NH2 }(η(6) -p-cymene)] intermediate. Multiple electrostatic CH/π interactions are the common motif in the preferred diastereometric structures.

Background: The etiology of acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is heterogeneous and still under discussion. Inflammation increases during exacerbation of COPD. The identification of inflammatory changes will increase our knowledge and potentially guide therapy.

Chiral eta(6)-arene/N-tosylethylenediamine-ruthenium(II) complexes: solution behavior and catalytic activity for asymmetric hydrogenation.

Aromatic ketones are enantioseletively hydrogenated in alcohols containing [RuX{(S,S)-Tsdpen}(eta(6)-p-cymene)] (Tsdpen=TsNCH(C(6)H(5))CH(C(6)H(5))NH(2); X=TfO, Cl) as precatalysts. The corresponding Ru hydride (X=H) acts as a reducing species. The solution structures and complete spectral assignment of these complexes have been determined using 2D NMR ((1)H-(1)H DQF-COSY, (1)H-(13)C HMQC, (1)H-(15)N HSQC, and (1)H-(19)F HOESY).

Development of a continuous-flow system for asymmetric hydrogenation using self-supported chiral catalysts.

Well-designed, self-assembled, metal-organic frameworks were constructed by simple mixing of multitopic MonoPhos-based ligands (3; MonoPhos=chiral, monodentate phosphoramidites based on the 1,1'-bi-2-naphthol platform) and [Rh(cod)(2)]BF(4) (cod=cycloocta-1,5-diene). This self-supporting strategy allowed for simple and efficient catalyst immobilization without the use of extra added support, giving well-characterized, insoluble (in toluene) polymeric materials (4). The resulting self-supported catalysts (4) showed outstanding catalytic performance for the asymmetric hydrogenation of a number of alpha-dehydroamino acids (5) and 2-aryl enamides (7) with enantiomeric excess (ee) ranges of 94-98 % and 90-98 %, respectively.

The hydrogenation/transfer hydrogenation network in asymmetric reduction of ketones catalyzed by [RuCl2(binap)(pica)] complexes.

Chiral binap/pica-Ru(II) complexes (binap=(S)- or (R)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl; pica=alpha-picolylamine) catalyze both asymmetric hydrogenation (AH) of ketones using H(2) and asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) using non-tertiary alcohols under basic conditions. The AH and ATH catalytic cycles are linked by the metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism. Asymmetric reduction of pinacolone is best achieved in ethanol containing the Ru catalyst and base under an H(2) atmosphere at ambient temperature, giving the chiral alcohol in 97-98 % ee.

Hydrogen bonding makes a difference in the rhodium-catalyzed enantioselective hydrogenation using monodentate phosphoramidites.

A new generation of monodentate phosphoramidite ligands bearing a primary amine moiety was found to display comparable or better efficiency than bisphosphines in the Rh-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of challenging substrates, such as (Z)-methyl alpha-acetoxyacrylate or (E)-beta-aryl itaconate derivatives, affording the corresponding hydrogenation products with excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). The presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding (HB) between two monodentate ligands in the catalyst was found to be critical for excellent catalyst performance. This finding provides a basis for design and development of further catalyst systems using this type of monodentate phosphoramidite ligands.

The hydrogenation/transfer hydrogenation network: asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones with chiral eta6-arene/N-Tosylethylenediamine-ruthenium(II) catalysts.

Chiral eta6-arene/N-tosylethylenediamine-Ru(II) complexes, known as excellent catalysts for asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of aromatic ketones in basic 2-propanol, can be used for asymmetric hydrogenation using H2 gas. Active catalysts are generated from RuCl[(S,S)-TsNCH(C6H5)CH(C6H5)NH2](eta6-p-cymene) in methanol, but not 2-propanol, or by combination of Ru[(S,S)-TsNCH(C6H5)CH(C6H5)NH](eta6-p-cymene) and CF3SO3H or other non-nucleophilic acids. This method allows, for the first time, asymmetric hydrogenation of simple ketones under acidic conditions.

Solution structures and behavior of trans-RuH(eta(1)-BH(4)) (binap)(1,2-diamine) complexes.

The solution structures of a number of trans-RuH(eta(1)-BH(4))[(S)-tolbinap](1,2-diamine) precatalysts [TolBINAP = 2,2'-bis(di-4-tolylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl; 1,2-diamine==(S,S)- or (R,R)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine (DPEN), ethylenediamine (EN), and (S)-1,1-di(4-anisyl)-2-isopropylethylenediamine (DAIPEN)] have been determined using 2D NMR ((1)H--(1)H DQF-COSY, (1)H--(13)C HMQC, (1)H--(31)P HSQC, and (1)H--(15)N HSQC), and a double-pulsed field-gradient spin-echo (DPFGSE) NOE technique. All the octahedral Ru complexes adopt a trans configuration with respect to the BH(4) and hydride ligands. Amine protons of trans-RuH(eta(1)-BH(4))[(S)-tolbinap](1,2-diamine) complexes undergo H/D exchange in (CD(3))(2)CDOD.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of tert-alkyl ketones.

A combined system of RuCl2(tolbinap)(pica) and an alkaline or organic phosphazene base catalyzes asymmetric hydrogenation of sterically congested tert-alkyl ketones (TolBINAP = 2,2'-bis(di-4-tolylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl, PICA = alpha-picolylamine). Hydrogenation with RuH(eta1-BH4)(tolbinap)(pica) does not require any strong base. Alcoholic solvents strongly affect the catalytic efficiency.

Metal-ligand bifunctional catalysis for asymmetric hydrogenation.

Chiral diphosphine/1,2-diamine-Ru(II) complexes catalyse the rapid, productive and enantioselective hydrogenation of simple ketones. The carbonyl-selective hydrogenation takes place via a non-classical metal-ligand bifunctional mechanism. The reduction of the C=O function occurs in the outer coordination sphere of an 18e trans-RuH2(diphosphine)(diamine) complex without interaction between the unsaturated moiety and the metallic centre.

Mechanism of asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones catalyzed by BINAP/1,2-diamine-rutheniumII complexes.

Asymmetric hydrogenation of acetophenone with trans-RuH(eta(1)-BH(4))[(S)-tolbinap][(S,S)-dpen] (TolBINAP = 2,2'-bis(di-4-tolylphosphino)-1,1'-binaphthyl; DPEN = 1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) in 2-propanol gives (R)-phenylethanol in 82% ee. The reaction proceeds smoothly even at an atmospheric pressure of H(2) at room temperature and is further accelerated by addition of an alkaline base or a strong organic base. Most importantly, the hydrogenation rate is initially increased to a great extent with an increase in base molarity but subsequently decreases.
