Abstract
A method for the synthesis of new glycerol esters containing both one or two 1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaborane (ortho-carborane) clusters and natural fatty acid (stearic and palmitic) fragments has been developed. Carborane moieties were attached to the glycerol hydroxy groups via ω-amino acid residues. Synthesis of carborane-containing lipid analogues containing up to 19 wt.% boron has been carried out using readily available building blocks. It has been shown that ortho-carborane-containing mono- and diglycerides have a tendency to isomerization as a result of intramolecular migration of the acyl fragment. The isomeric composition was determined by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy, as well as by HPLC. The developed preparation method for triglycerides containing 10 or 20 boron atoms per molecule can be used to obtain various carborane-containing lipid analogues. The synthesized compounds are of interest as a potential basis for boron-enriched liposomes and micelles for use in BNCT or PBCT.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Organometallic Chemistry targets original papers dealing with theoretical aspects, structural chemistry, synthesis, physical and chemical properties (including reaction mechanisms), and practical applications of organometallic compounds.
Organometallic compounds are defined as compounds that contain metal - carbon bonds. The term metal includes all alkali and alkaline earth metals, all transition metals and the lanthanides and actinides in the Periodic Table. Metalloids including the elements in Group 13 and the heavier members of the Groups 14 - 16 are also included. The term chemistry includes syntheses, characterizations and reaction chemistry of all such compounds. Research reports based on use of organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry, medicine, material sciences, homogeneous catalysis and energy conversion are also welcome.
The scope of the journal has been enlarged to encompass important research on organometallic complexes in bioorganometallic chemistry and material sciences, and of heavier main group elements in organometallic chemistry. The journal also publishes review articles, short communications and notes.
