通过2,5-二溴苯乙烯与对甲酰基苯硼酸的Suzuki偶联反应得到2,5-二(4′-甲酰基苯基)苯乙烯.在催化剂量的冰乙酸存在下,与光学纯的(S)-(-)-α-甲基苄胺或(R)-(+)-α-甲基苄胺发生缩和反应,得到了一对手性非外消旋单体,(+)-2,5-二{4-′[(N-(S)-α-甲基苄亚胺基)次甲基]苯基}苯乙烯和(-)-2,5-二{4′-[(N-(R)-α-甲基苄亚胺基)次甲基]苯基}苯乙烯.以偶氮二异丁腈(AIBN)或过氧化苯甲酰(BPO)为引发剂,经自由基溶液聚合得到光学活性聚合物.比旋光度、紫外-可见吸收光谱以及圆二色光谱研究表明,聚合物主链可能形成了某一方向占优的稳定螺旋构象,且该螺旋构象的旋光方向与单体的旋光方向相反.聚合条件对聚合物的光学活性有很大影响,在极性较大的芳香族溶剂和较高温度下得到的聚合物具有和单体相差更大的比旋光度.侧基的手性基团脱除后,聚合物仍具有一定的旋光性,说明聚合过程中形成的螺旋手性具有一定的记忆效应.     

Effect of the Secondary Reduction on the Enantioselectivity and Function of Additives in the Chiral Oxazaborolidine‐Catalyzed Asymmetric Borane Reduction of Ketones

The secondary reduction in the direct and oxazaborolidine‐catalyzed asymmetric borane reduction of ketones was investigated by the use of GC/MS tracing titration and control experiments. The results indicate that the secondary reduction affects the enantioselectivity only in noncoordinated solvents at low temperature and not under the usual catalytic reduction conditions because the intermediate alkoxyborane is unstable and quickly converts to borane and dialkoxyborane. The function of an alcohol additive in the asymmetric borane reduction of ketones is to consume excess borane in the reduction system thus inhibiting noncatalytic reduction, which leads to increased enantioselectivity in the catalytic reduction.     

Electronic structure of the Fe3S4 cluster and its quasi-aromaticity

The localized molecular orbitals and their energy levels for the clusters [Fe₃S₄(SH)₃]^2–, [(HS)₃Fe₃S₄·Ni(PH₃)]^2–, [Mo₃S₄(OH₂)₉]⁴⁺, and [Mo₃S₄·Ni]⁴⁺ have been calculated by mean of the Edmiston-Ruedenberg energy localization technique under the CNDO/2 approximation in order to reveal the resemblance between [Fe₃S₄]⁺ and [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ in the geometrical configurations and the addition reactivities with heterometal atoms. It is shown that in these two cluster species with core {M ₃(₃-S)(-S)₃} of similar structure (M = Mo, Fe) there exist three synergically connected three-centered two-electron (M-S-M) -bonds around the puckered six-membered {M₃S₃} rings on account of delocalization of a lone electron pair on each bridging S atom; these (M-S-M) -bonds are thus capable of forming cubane-like heterometal clusters with intruder metal atoms through the ( M) bonding. It is therefore seen that unlike the [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ with appreciable bonding between the Mo atoms, the extra d-electrons on the metal atoms in the [Fe₃S₄]⁺ cluster are localized on the Fe atoms, exhibiting an electronic structure significantly different from that of the [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ cluster.

(η~5-C_5H_5)_4Mo_4Fe_2(μ_3-S)_5(CO)_5 have been prepared from (η~5-C_5H_5)_2Mo_2(CO)_6 and Fe_8S_2(CO)_9 under toluene reflux for 14.5 hrs.The crystal and molecular structures of (η~5-C_5H_5)_4Mo_4Fe_2(μ_3-S)_5(CO)_5 were studied by X-ray structure analysis. The Crystallographic data are as follows: monoclinic, space group P2_1/n, unit cell: a=1.0589(4), b=1.7260(4), c=1.8963(4) nm, β=101.44(2)°, V=3.3967 nm, D_c=2.06 gcm~(-3) for Z=4, X-ray data were obtained over the range of 2°<2θ<50° via the ω-2θ scan mode with MoKα radiation on an Enraf-Nonius CAD4 diffractometer. The structure was solved by direct method (MULTAN) and refined by full matrix least-squares techniques for 3993 reflections with I>2σ(I), The final R=0.081. Figure 1 illustrates the configuration of the molecule (η~5-C_5H_5)_4Mo_4Fe_2(μ_3-S)_5(CO)_5, composing of a cubane-like (FeMo_3S_4) core and a trigonal pyramid (MoFe_2S) core, which linked by sharing Fe(1) atom.     

Microwave- and photoirradiation-induced staudinger reactions of cyclic imines and ketenes generated from alpha-diazoketones. A further investigation into the stereochemical process

Reactions of ketenes generated from alpha-diazoketones with a series of acyclic and cyclic imines were investigated under both microwave and photoirradiation conditions. The results indicate that the zwitterionic azabutadiene-type intermediates yielded from imines and ketenes undergo a conrotatory ring closure exclusively to produce beta-lactams. It is notable that no Woodward-Hoffmann product was found under the ultraviolet irradiation. The photoirradiation-induced Staudinger reaction shows a different stereoselectivity from the electrocyclic reaction of substituted 1,3-butadiene.     

Mass spectral fragmentation of (S,S)-2-substituted 4,4-diphenyl-3,1-oxazabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes: ring contraction of pyrrolidine and 1,3-oxazolidine in mass spectrometry

The mass spectral behaviour of (S,S)-2-substituted 4,4-diphenyl-3,1-oxazabicyclo[3.3.0]octanes has been studied with the aid of mass-analyzed ion kinetic energy spectrometry and accurate mass measurements under fast atom bombardment (FAB) and electron impact (EI) ionization conditions. Under FAB ionization, all compounds show a tendency to form protonated aldehyde or benzophenone ions and to form protonated 1-azabicyclo[3.1.0]hexane ions, which can further lose an ethylene or cyclopropane from the pyrrolidine ring to produce protonated 1-azabicyclo[1.1.0]butane ions and 3H-azirine ions, respectively. Under EI ionization, a similar fragmentation to that under FAB ionization was observed. The title compounds also show a tendency to yield oxirane ions and oxirenium ions by loss of pyrrolidine and pyrrolidine plus H. Ring contractions of 1,3-oxazolidine by loss of an aldehyde or ketone and of pyrrolidine by loss of an ethylene or cyclopropane were observed under both FAB and EI ionization conditions.     

Some Properties of Solutions to the Novikov Equation with Weak Dissipation Terms

In this paper, we investigate the Novikov equation with weak dissipation terms. First, we give the local well-posedness and the blow-up scenario. Then, we discuss the global existence of the solutions under certain conditions. After that, on condition that the compactly supported initial data keeps its sign, we prove the infinite propagation speed of our solutions, and establish the large time behavior. Finally, we also elaborate the persistence property of our solutions in weighted Sobolev space.     

Localized molecular orbitals and the problem of quasi-aromaticity in trinuclear molybdenum cluster compounds with cores of the type [MO3(μ3-X)(μ-Y)3] (X, Y = O, S, n = 4; X = O, Y = Cl, n = 5)

Calculations of localized molecular orbitals (LMO) and their energy levels for the cluster cores [MO₃O₄]⁴⁺, [MO₃SO₃]⁴⁺, [MO₃OS₃]⁴⁺, [Mo₃S₄]⁴⁺ and [MO₃OCl₃]⁵⁺ have been made by the use of energy-localized CNDO/2-LMO. The results of these LMO calculations show that the six-membered closed and continuous π-conjugated systems around the [MO₃Y₃] rings, each of which is formed from three synergically connected three-centered two-electron π bonds, is the most significant feature of the electronic structure for the quasi-aromatic clusters [Mo₃(μ₃-Y)(μ-X)₃]⁴⁺ (X, Y = O, S), and the size and electronegativity of the bridging Y atoms exhibit significant effects on the degree of quasi-aromaticity of these cluster compounds. For the non-aromatic reference cluster [Mo₃OCl₃]⁵⁺, the results of our calculations also show a bonding scheme with only one isolated π bond, thus leading to the loss of quasi-aromaticity; and meanwhile, there is a pair of extra electrons localized on the apical molybdenum atom of the Mo₃ triangle, thus with three Mo---Mo single bonds.     

Asymmetric Henry reaction catalyzed by C2-symmetric tridentate bis(oxazoline) and bis(thiazoline) complexes: metal-controlled reversal of enantioselectivity

[reaction: see text] C(2)-symmetric tridentate bis(oxazoline) and bis(thiazoline) ligands with a diphenylamine backbone have been investigated in the catalytic asymmetric Henry reaction of alpha-keto esters with different Lewis acids. Their Cu(OTf)(2) complexes furnished S enantiomers, while Et(2)Zn complexes afforded R enantiomers, both of them with higher enantioselectivities (up to 85% ee). Reversal of enantioselectivity in asymmetric Henry reactions was achieved with the same chiral ligand by changing the Lewis acid center from Cu(II) to Zn(II). The results show that the NH group in C(2)-symmetric tridentate chiral ligands plays a very important role in controlling both the yields and enantiofacial selectivity of the Henry products.
