Monoacylation of unprotected symmetrical diamines with resin-bound benzoic acids

A protocol for monoacylation of unprotected symmetrical diamines with a resin-bound benzoic acid is described. The nature of the resin (gel-based polystyrene vs highly crosslinked macroporous polystyrene) was found to play a minor role in acylation selectivity. Rather, the concentration of the diamine dictates the ratio of mono- and diacylated products. Thus, by employing a high concentration of symmetrical diamine (e.g., 1 M, 20 equiv), monoacylation can be selectively achieved for a variety of unprotected symmetrical alkyl and aryl diamines.     

The structure of protonated diamines and polyamines

The reduced mobilities in air, at 200C, of six isomeric C₇H₁₈N₂ protonated diamines, two triamines (caldine and spermidine), and two tetramines (thermine and spermine) were measured by ion mobility spectrometric (IMS) techniques. The results indicated that all these polyamines undergo proton-induced cyclization, with the proton forming a bridge between two amino groups. It appears as if the favored configuration of the protonated polyamines involves a six- or seven-membered ring rather than a bridge between the terminal amino groups. It is believed that in the tetramines the cyclic structure is formed between the two central, more basic, secondary amine sites.     

Substituent effects on the polycondensation of quinones with aromatic amines to form poly(quinone imine)s

The effect of alkyl groups on the polycondensation of aromatic diamines and quinones to form poly(quinone imine)s was investigated. Models were synthesized under standard conditions: 1 equiv of quinone was reacted with 2 equiv of aniline in the presence of titanium tetrachloride and 1,4‐diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane. Only modest yields of diimines were obtained when alkyl substituents were introduced. Likewise, alkyl substituents were harmful in the polycondensation of both anthraquinones and benzoquinones with aromatic diamines. As for fluorine substituents, model reactions with either 1,5‐difluoroanthraquinone or 1,4‐difluoroanthraquinone with aniline proceeded in high yields. These model compounds for aromatic poly(quinone imine)s were characterized with ¹H NMR spectroscopy, ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy, variable‐temperature ¹H NMR spectroscopy, and X‐ray crystal structure determination. Polymers of the difluoroanthraquinones with aromatic diamines were obtained in high yields, although not in high molecular weights, and no stereocontrol was found. Both p‐benzoquinones and anthraquinones were used as monomers in these polymerizations, and a fundamental difference in reactivity was observed. With the former, the polymerization behaved as a classical polycondensation and demanded exact reagent equivalence. With the anthraquinones, however, the polymerization proceeded by a condensation chain polymerization and was much more forgiving. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Synthesis and conformational analysis of 1,3,2-diazaphosphorino[6,1-a]isoquinolines, a new ring system

Through ring-closure reactions of N- or 1′-substituted 1-(2′-aminoethyl)-6,7-dimethoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines (5a-e) with phenylphosphonyl dichloride, 1- or 3-substituted 4-phenyl-1,3,4,6,7,11b-tetrahydro-2H-1,3,2-diazaphosphorino[6,1-a]isoquinolin-4-one diastereomers (7a-e and 8a-c,e), the first representatives of a new ring system, were prepared. The diastereomeric ratios in the cyclizations and the conformer (A-E) populations of the nitrogen-bridged tricyclic systems (7 and 8) were strongly influenced by the N- and 1′-substituents of the starting diamines. The conformational analysis of compounds 7 and 8 was performed by ¹H, ¹³C and ³¹P NMR methods.

Solution structure of the palladium(II) complex of 1,4,7,10-tetrathiacyclododec-2-ene-2,3-dicarbonitrile

The solution structure of the Pd(II) complex of mn-12-S4 was studied in detail by NMR spectroscopy. The stoichiometry of the complex was determined by 1H NMR titration experiments. 3J(H,H) coupling constants were extracted from the 2D J-resolved NMR spectrum of the complex providing information concerning the S-C-C-S torsional angles. Further conclusions about the conformation of [Pd(mn-12-S4)](BF4)2 were drawn from experimental NOEs. The results of the NMR study were corroborated by molecular modelling.

Enantioselective synthesis of (−)-idiospermuline

The enantioselective total synthesis of the nonacyclic polypyrrolidinoindoline (−)-idiospermuline is described. Stereocontrolled formation of the vicinal quaternary carbon centers is achieved in a single step by dialkylation of an unsymmetrical prostereogenic dienolate with a tartrate-derived chiral dielectrophile. A catalyst-controlled diastereoselective Heck cyclization is employed to form the diaryl-substituted quaternary center.     

某些新的连位仲、叔二胺的合成

连二胺化合物在化学工业、金属螯合剂、多氮杂环和穴状化合物化学中很重要。它们也常用于中间体的合成,以及特殊杂环化合物的合成。仲连二胺通常可用 Na、Mg、AI(Hg)Ti等诱导N取代的亚胺发生二聚反应还原制备。该方法有一些不利因素:较适合仲芳香胺而不适合叔芳香胺或脂肪胺;单分子与双分子还原相互竞争,而单分子还原产品通常是副产物;阴离子中间体形成困难。叔连二胺可在三(二烷基胺基)甲基钒(Ⅳ)或钛度剂存在下,     

Asymmetric anti‐Selective Michael Reaction of Imidazole‐Modified Ketones with trans‐β‐Nitroalkenes

The successful application of imidazole‐modified ketones in asymmetric anti‐selective Michael reactions with trans‐β‐nitroalkenes is presented by employing a newly developed 3‐bromothiophene‐modified chiral diamine ligand. The corresponding conjugate adduct was submitted to further transformations with Grignard reagents to solve the problem of α‐site selectivity of simple linear ketones. Additionally, the syn‐selective product was obtained by treating the anti‐selective adduct with a simple base. In this way, the site‐specific products for both diastereomers in the asymmetric conjugate addition of simple ketones to nitroalkenes can be obtained.
