RESUMEN
Trace palladium in synthetic materials can be rapidly and inexpensively semiquantified by a catalysis-based fluorometric method that converts resorufin allyl ether to resorufin. However, whether sulfur compounds would interfere with this method has not been systematically studied. Herein, we show that although thiourea in solution interferes with quantification, sulfide, thiol, and thiocarbamate do not. The fluorometric method can also detect palladium bound to sulfur-based scavenger resin and outperform inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry for detecting trace palladium in ibuprofen.

FR901464 is a natural product that exhibits antiproliferative activity at single-digit nanomolar concentrations in cancer cells. Its tetrahydropyran-spiroepoxide covalently binds the spliceosome. Through our medicinal chemistry campaign, we serendipitously discovered that a bromoetherification formed a tetrahydrofuran. The tetrahydrofuran analog was three orders of magnitude less potent than the corresponding tetrahydropyran analogs. This study shows the significance of the tetrahydropyran ring that presents the epoxide toward the spliceosome.
