Syntheses and Structure of Hexacoordinated Selenium (λ6-Selane) and Tellurium (λ6-Tellane) Compounds

The first isolation of bis(2,2′-biphenylylene)dichloro- and difluoro-perchalcogenuranes, [12–Se–6(C4F2)] (λ⁶-selane); [12–Te–6(C4X2), X = Cl, F] (λ⁶-tellane) and the corresponding tellurane Te-oxide dimer [12–Te–6(C4O2)]₂, and their crystal and molecular structures are described. Furthermore, on the basis of the difference between the 3c-4e bonds of the dodecet species and that of the decet species a new molecular orbital concept has been proposed on the 3c-4e bond of perchalcogenurane species [12–M–6, M = chalcogen atoms].     

Enantioselective synthesis of (S)- and (R)-6-hydroxy-8-nonene-carboxylates by asymmetric catalysis: a formal synthesis of (R)-α-lipoic acid and its (S)-antipode

Density functional calculations of the structures and bond energies of Cr(CO)6 and (η6-C6H6) Cr(CO)2(CX) (X=O,S) complexes

Summary Quantum chemical calculations based on density functional theory have been performed on Cr(CO)₆, (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₃ and (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₂(CS) at the local and nonlocal level of theory using different functionals. Good agreement is obtained with experiment for both optimized geometries and metal-ligand binding energies. In particular, a comparison of metal-arene bond energies calculated for the (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₃ and (⁶-C₆H₆)Cr(CO)₂(CS) complexes correlates well with kinetic data demonstrating that substitution of one CO group by CS leads to an important labilizing effect of this bond, which may be primarily attributed to a larger -backbonding charge transfer to the CS ligand as compared with CO.     

Efficient synthesis of (S)-(−)- and (R)-(+)-enantiomers of 15-deoxyspergualin (15-DSG)

An efficient synthesis of the (S)-(−)- and (R)-(+)-enantiomers of 15-deoxyspergualin (15-DSG) is reported. The synthesis involves preparative HPLC separation and subsequent hydrogenolysis of two diastereoisomers 10a and 10b of fully protected 15-DSG penultimates. Alternatively, diastereomerically pure amide 10b (97% de) was also prepared from acid 8b (97% de), which was obtained via crystallization of a 1:1 diastereomeric mixture of 8a and 8b.     

Analogues of Moranoline and Mdl 73945. Methyl 6(5)-Deoxy-6(5)-(Morpholin-4-Yl)-α-D-Glycosides as Glucosidase Inhibitors

ABSTRACT

Methyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-O-(p-tolylsulfonyl)-α-D-glucopyranoside (6), or its iodo analogue 7, were subjected to nucleophilic displacement with morpholine to give 8, deacetylation of which gave methyl 6-deoxy-6-(morpholin-4-yl)-α-D-glucopyranoside (3). Similarly, 11, 12 and 21 were prepared. The 6-deoxy-6-iodo derivative 16 was subjected to nucleophilic displacement with morpholine and subsequent acetylation to give 15. Deacetylation of 15 gave 17. The kinetic studies for the inhibition of β-D-glucosidase from sweet almond and using o-nitrophenyl β-D-glucopyranoside as substrate exhibited a K _i value for 21 on the same order as 1-deoxynojirimycin whereas for 3, a K _i value of lesser order was observed.

The spirotetronate okilactomycin D (7) has been efficiently synthesized by a route featuring a substrate-controlled, diastereoselective (8:1) intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction of 11. The assigned absolute configuration of (-)-7 was confirmed.     

Complexation of 6-Deoxy-6-(aminoethyl)amino-β-cyclodextrin with Sodium Cholate and Sodium Deoxycholate

In order to study its guest binding and the inclusion phenomena, 6-deoxy-6-(aminoethyl)amino--cyclodextrin (CDN) was synthesised and its binding properties examined. The complexation phenomena of sodium cholate (NaC) and sodium deoxycholate (NaDC) with CDN has been monitored by the NMR method using ¹³C chemical shift data. The method of continuous variation Job's method has been used to determine the stoichiometry of these supramolecular complexes. The Job's plot confirms the 1 : 1 supramolecular complex for NaC: CDN and the 1 : 2 supramolecular complex for NaDC: CDN. The interaction of NaC and NaDC with CDN has been obtained through two-dimensional Rotational Nuclear Overhauser Effect Spectroscopy (ROESY) NMR. Equilibrium constants were also obtained from ¹³C chemical shift data (C-1, C-3 & C-4) at different pH values (7, 9, & 11).     

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition reaction of nitrone η6-(arene)chromium tricarbonyl complexes with styrene and η6-(styrene)chromium tricarbonyl

Synthesis and reactivity of 3-(trichlorogermyl)propanoic acid and 3-(triphenylgermyl) propanoic acid

3-(Trichlorogermyl)propanoic acid (la) reacts with phenylmagnesium bromide in malar ratio 1:4 to give 3-(triphenylgermyl)propanoic acid (2a).In the compounds la and 2a theβ-carboxylic functional group shows some unusual properties when they react with excess of phenylmagnesium bromide.The compound la reacts with phenylmagnesium bromide in molar ratio 1:5 to give phenyl 2-(triphenylgermyl)ethylketone (3a) and in molar ratio 1:6 to give l,l-diphenyl-3-(triphenylgermyl)propanol (4a).The compound 2a reacts with phenylmagnesium bromide in molar ratio 1:2 to give 3a and in molar ratio 1:3 to give 4a also.Dehydration of the compound 4a with dilute hydrochloric acid seems especially easy.Moreover,the compound la reacted with phenylmagnsium bromide in molar ratio 1:6,then the mixture was treated with dilute hydrochloric acid to give 1,1-diphenyl-3-(triphenylgermyl)-1-propene (5a) in one pot reaction.Alkyl Ge-C bond in the compound 5a can be cleaved selectively by lithium aluminium hydride ( LiAlH4) in good yiel
