Abstract:The Truce-Smiles rearrangement is an X ¡ C aryl migration reaction that is achieved by an intramolecular nucleophilic aromatic substitution pathway. The reaction exhibits a wide substrate scope with respect to a migrating aryl ring and leaving group, appearing in many different tandem reaction sequences, to achieve a wide variety of product outcomes. We present an extensive survey of reported examples of the Truce-Smiles rearrangement from the chemistry literature (1950s until present) organized by various substrate design variables or aspects of the reaction method. Present deficiencies in our understanding of the reaction are identified with recommendations for future research directions and useful developments in the application of the reaction are celebrated.
Capillary electrophoresis has been used to demonstrate that individual molecules of a given enzyme support different catalytic rates. In order to determine how rate varies with temperature, and determine activation energies for individual β-galactosidase molecules, a 12-channel Peltier array temperature control device was constructed where the temperature of each cell was separately controlled. This array was used to control the temperature of the central 30 cm of a 50 cm long capillary, producing a temperature gradient along its length. Continuous flow single β-galactosidase molecule assays were performed allowing measurement of the catalytic rates at different temperatures. Arrhenius plots were produced and the distribution of activation energies for individual β-galactosidase molecules was found to be 56 ± 10 kJ/mol with a range of 34-72 kJ/mol.
Single molecule assays were performed on streptavidin-β-galactosidase using a capillary electrophoresis-based protocol in order to assess the suitability of single molecule β-galactosidase assays for adaptation to the detection of single copies of target DNA. The conjugate was found to have a heterogeneous catalytic rate, showing an average rate of 44,000 ± 24,000 min(-1), which is similar to that of the unmodified enzyme. Electrophoretic mobility was also measured on individual molecules and determined to be -1.32 × 10(-4) ± 0.19 × 10(-4) cm(2)V(-1)s(-1). The variance in mobility was several times that reported for the unmodified enzyme. The electrophoretic heterogeneity was found to result in the formation of a broad window of peaks in the resultant electropherograms of free zone separations of small plugs of streptavidin-β-galactosidase. This range of mobilities largely overlapped with that of the conjugate bound to primer and plasmid containing a target DNA sequence. This overlap suggests that the separation of free conjugate from that bound to target DNA, which is a requirement for application of the single enzyme molecule assay to the detection of target DNA sequences, is not plausible using free zone capillary electrophoresis.
