Asymmetric synthesis of the natural erythro-(1R,2S)-8-O-4′-neolignan myrislignan

Abstract  

An efficient and practical asymmetric synthesis of erythro-(1R,2S)-8-O-4′-neolignan myrislignan was achieved by using vanillin and pyrogallic acid as the starting materials. Two key steps are involved: preparation of an enantiopure threo alcohol of predictable stereochemistry by dihydroxylation with AD-mix-β, and inversion of the absolute configuration from the threo to the erythro isomer using a Mitsunobu reaction. The route illustrates a new methodology for the synthesis of erythro-8-O-4′-neolignan.

(R)-1，1′-联萘手性单元通过溶胶凝胶法合成杂化硅干凝胶(英)

Precursor molecule (R)-6,6′-bis(triethoxysilylethen-2-yl)-2,2′-di(methoxyethoxymethyloxy)-1,1′-binaphthyl (R-2) was synthesized by Pd-catalyzed Heck reaction of (R)-6,6′-dibromo-2,2′-di(methoxyethoxymethyloxy)-1,1′-binaphthyl (R-1) intermediate with vinyltriethoxysilane. The hydrolysis and polycondensation of the precursor R-2 produced the corresponding xerogel. Both precursor and xerogel were analysed by NMR, FTIR, UV, CD spectra, fluorescent spectroscopy, polarimetry and elemental analysis. The precursor and xerogel can emit strong blue fluorescence and are expected to have a potential application in the separation of chiral molecules as fluorescent sensor. The precursor exhibits strong Cotton effect in its circular dichroism (CD) spectrum indicating a highly rigid structure.

The heterometallic two-dimensional structure in the Ba2[Cu(L)](ClO4)2 · nH2O crystals (L = ethylenediaminetetraacetate, n = 6; L = ethylenediaminetetra-3-propionate, n = 5)

The crystals of Ba₂[Cu(Edtp)](ClO₄)₂ · 5H₂O (i) contain the tetragonal-pyramidal complexes of Cu(II) with ethylenediaminetetra-3-propionate ion with one noncoordinated propionate group. The [Cu(Edtp)]²⁻ complex ions and two sorts of the Ba atoms form two-dimensional supramolecular aggregate. Two Ba(1) atoms and one Cu atom form a tetramer by means of the coordinated carboxyl group and a free propionate group. The tetramers are united through the propionate group into ribbons, which are joined by the Ba(2) atoms into the layers. The coordination sphere of each B atom involves four water molecules, including two bridging water molecules. The perchlorate ions are also coordinated by the Ba atoms, one Ba atom acting as a bridge. The structure of the previously studied Ba₂[Cu(Edta)](ClO₄)₂ · 6H₂O (II) crystals with the hexadentate ethylenediaminetetraacetate ion is shown to be similar to that of complex I, but in the case of II, the Ba atoms are equivalent as regards the number of the complex anions bound to them.

Crystal structure of calcium cis(N)-bis(iminodiacetato)chromate(III) nonahydrate Ca[Cr(Ida)2]2·9H2O

In the crystals of [Ca(H₂O)₅][Cr(Ida)₂]₂·4H₂O (triclinic symmetry, a = 10.1056(10) ?, b = 13.0077(11) ?, c = 13.1185(13) ?, α = 70.186(11)°, β = 81.248(11)°, γ = 78.996(11)°, Z = 2, space group P ) cyclic centrosymmetric tetramers are present.

DFT evaluation of the electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of the self-assembled [Pt2M4(C ≡ CH)8] (M=Cu, Ag) clusters

Electronic structures and spectroscopic properties of self-assembled [Pt₂M₄(C≡CH)₈] (M=Cu, Ag) clusters have been studied by the TD-DFT (time-dependent density functional theory) calculations with the polarizable continuum model (PCM). The ground- and excited-state structures were optimized by the DFT (density functional theory) methods. The calculated structures and spectroscopic properties are in agreement with the corresponding experimental results. The [Pt₂Ag₄(C≡CH)₈] clusters have two stable ground state geometries (D ₄ and D _4h symmetry). The calculated Pt-M distances suggest only very weak interactions. The Cu-Cu distances are larger than the van der Waals radii of two Cu atoms and the Ag-Ag distances are analogous with the sum of van der Waals radii of two Ag atoms. Upon excitation, the interaction of Pt⋯M, Ag⋯Ag is strengthened, while the Cu⋯Cu distances are shortened but they are still larger than the sum of van der Waals radii of two Cu atoms. The lowest-energy absorptions are at 450, 365 and 375 nm and the emissions are at 611, 431 and 435 nm for [Pt₂Cu₄(C≡CH)₈], [Pt₂Ag₄(C≡CH)₈] (A) and (B), respectively. The transitions are all perturbed by the Cu or Ag composition through the UV-Vis spectra region; therefore, there are not pure ILCT or M_PtLCT characteristics (ILCT: intraligand charge transfer; MLCT: metal-to-ligand charge transfer) in absorptions of heteropolynuclear [Pt₂M₄(C≡CH)₈] clusters. Since the emissions and the lowest-absorptions have different transition characteristics for each complex, the emissions should not come from the lowest-energy absorptions. Because the M⋯M interactions in the excited state of [Pt₂Ag₄(C≡CH)₈] are augmented, the emissions of [Pt₂Ag₄(C≡CH)₈] clusters bear prominent ILCT character, which is the reason why the emission wavelengths of [Pt₂Ag₄(C≡CH)₈] have a small hypsochromic shift relative to the emission wavelength of homoleptic [Pt(C≡CH)₄]²⁻ precursor.

Crystal structure of barium bis [N-(2-hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetato]cobaltate(III) hydrocarbonate dihydrate Ba(μ4-HCO3)[ trans (N)-Co(heida)2]·2H2O

Ba[Co(heida)₂](HCO₃)·2H₂O crystals were grown (orthorhombic, a = 9.4491(5) Å, b = 10.9719(5) Å, c = 19.6077(9) Å, Z = 4, space group Pca2₁), and their structure was solved by X-ray diffraction. The Co atoms in the complex anion were coordinated by two N-(2-hydroxyethyl)iminodiacetate (heida) ligands via the N atom and two O atoms of each ligand. The Ba atoms and the complex anions form “honeycomb” layers linked via three O atoms. The “honeycombs” are additionally linked by their Ba atoms with the O atoms of the hydroxyethyl groups. The Ba atoms are aligned within a layer and linked via the bridging HCO₃ hydrocarbonate groups. The c.n. of Ba atoms is 10 (one water molecule; five O atoms of the complex anions, one from each of the nearest neighbors; and four O atoms of the hydrocarbonate ions).

A new 1D organic-inorganic hybrid monocopper substituted Dawson-type arsenotungstate (H₂En)_0.5[Cu(En)₂]_0.5{[Cu(En)₂(H₂O)]₂[Cu(En)₂](α₁-As₂W₁₇CuO₆₁)} · 8H₂O (I) has been hydrothermally synthesized by the reaction of Na₈[A-α-HAsW₉O₃₄] · 11H₂O, CuCl₂ · 2H₂O, YCl₃, with enthylenediamine (En) and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, UV spectra, powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Single-crystal structural analysis shows that I displays an interesting 1D chain constructed from [α₁-As₂W₁₇CuO₆₁]⁸⁻ subunits by means of common oxygen atoms and [Cu(En)₂]²⁺ bridges. It should be noted that the structural transformation of the trivacant Keggin polyoxoanion [A-α-AsW₉O₃₄]⁹⁻ to the monovacant Dawson [α-As₂W₁₇O₆₁]¹⁰⁻ polyoxoanion was observed. The TG curve of I exhibits three stages of weight loss.

Automatic simulation of electrochemical transients by the adaptive Huber method for Volterra integral equations involving Kernel terms exp[?α(t ? τ)]erex{[β(t ? τ)]1/2} and exp[?α(t ? τ)]daw {[β(t ? τ)]1/2}

Development of fully automatic methods for the simulation of transient experiments in electroanalytical chemistry is a desirable element of the contemporary trends of laboratory automation in electrochemistry. In accord with this idea, the adaptive Huber method, elaborated by the present author, is intended to solve automatically integral equations of Volterra type, encountered in the theory of controlled-potential transients. The coefficients of the method have been recently obtained for integral transformation kernels involving terms K(t, τ) = exp[−α(t − τ)]erex{[β(t − τ)]^1/2} and K(t, τ) = exp[−α(t − τ)]daw{[β(t − τ)]^1/2} with α ≥ 0 and β ≥ 0, which are known to occur in the above integral equations. In this work the validity of the resulting method, for electrochemical simulations, is examined using representative examples of electroanalytical models involving integral equations with various special cases of such kernel terms. The performance of the method is found similar to that previously reported for integral equations involving exclusively kernels K(t, τ) = 1, K(t, τ) = (t − τ)^−1/2, and K(t, τ) = exp[−λ (t − τ)](t − τ)^−1/2 with λ > 0.
