Synthesis,Characterization and Application of Some Axially Chiral Binaphthyl Phosphoric Acids in Asymmetric Mannich Reaction

Two novel chiral Br?nsted acids 3b and 3c were prepared without involving the complexity of Suzuki coupling. Catalyst 3c bearing two additional hydroxyl groups at 3 and 3′ positions of axially chiral 1,1‐binaphthalene‐2,2′‐diol phosphoric acid was applied in a model Mannich reaction to afford β‐amino ester in high yield (92%) and enantiomeric excess (91%) at low reacting temperature of ?40°C. In addition, those β‐amino ester derivatives with high yields and excellent enatioselectivities were obtained in the presence of catalyst 3c under the above condition.     

Two-dimension fluorescence correlation spectroscopy to characterize the binding of organic ligands with zinc in eutrophic lake

Metal binding of organic ligands can definitely affect its environmental behavior in waters, while information on the binding heterogeneity with different organic ligands is still lacked till now. In this study, the binding of zinc with organic matters associated with cyanobacterial blooms, including dissolved organic matters (DOM) and attached organic matters (AOM), were studied by using fluorescence quenching titration combined with two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2D-COS). Metal-induced fluorescent quenching was obviously observed both for DOM and AOM, indicating the formation of metal-ligand complexes. Compared with the one-dimensional spectra, 2D-COS revealed the sequences of metal-ligand interaction with the following orders: 276 nm > 232 nm for DOM and 232 nm > 276 nm for AOM. Furthermore, the modified Stern-Volmer model showed that the binding constant (log KM) of 276 nm in DOM was higher than that of 232 nm (4.93 vs. 4.51), while AOM was characterized with a high binding affinity for 232 nm (log KM: 4.83). The ranks of log KM values were consistent with the sequential orders derived from 2D-COS results both for the two samples. Fluorescence quenching titration combined with 2D-COS was an effective method to characterize the metal-ligand interaction.

Recent Progress towards Transition‐Metal‐Catalyzed Synthesis of Fluorenes

Fluorenes are a commonly encountered structural motif in materials science, pharmaceutical chemistry, and organic synthesis. Among various strategies towards the synthesis of this unique structure, transition metal‐catalyzed functionalization has emerged as one of the most efficient methods. This Minireview presents an overview of the recent advances in this emerging area by highlighting the reactions’ specificity and applicability and, where possible, provides a mechanistic rationale.     

On the Extreme Oxidation States of Iridium

It has recently been suggested that the oxidation states of Ir run from the putative ?III in the synthesized solid Na₃[Ir(CO)₃] to the well‐documented +IX in the species IrO₄⁺. Furthermore, [Ir(CO)₃]^3? was identified as an 18‐electron species. A closer DFT study now finds support for this picture: The orbitals spanned by the 6s,6p,5d orbitals of the iridium are all occupied. Although some have considerable ligand character, the deviations from 18 e leave the orbital symmetries unchanged. The isoelectronic systems from Os^?IV to Au^?I behave similarly, suggesting further possible species. To paraphrase Richard P. Feynmann “there is plenty of room at the bottom”.     

Monodisperse AgSbS2 Nanocrystals: Size‐Control Strategy,Large‐Scale Synthesis,and Photoelectrochemistry

We report an efficient approach to the synthesis of AgSbS₂ nanocrystals (NCs) by colloidal chemistry. The size of the AgSbS₂ NCs can be tuned from 5.3 to 58.3 nm with narrow size distributions by selection of appropriate precursors and fine control of the experimental conditions. Over 15 g of high‐quality AgSbS₂ NCs can be obtained from one single reaction, indicative of the up‐scalability of the present synthesis. The resulting NCs display strong absorptions in the visible‐to‐NIR range and exceptional air stability. The photoelectrochemical measurements indicate that, although the pristine AgSbS₂ NC electrodes generate a cathodic photocurrent with a relatively small photocurrent density and poor stability, both of them can be significantly improved subject to CdS surface modification, showing promise in solar energy conversion applications.     

Asymmetric Synthesis of Fully Substituted Cyclopentane‐Oxindoles through an Organocatalytic Triple Michael Domino Reaction

An efficient, highly stereoselective asymmetric synthesis of fully functionalized cyclopentanes bearing an oxindole moiety and several other functional groups in one pot has been developed. Key step is an organocatalytic triple Michael domino reaction forming three C?C bonds and six stereocenters, including a quaternary one. Starting from equimolar amounts of simple substrates, a high molecular complexity can be reached after a Wittig olefination in one pot. The new protocol can easily be scaled up to gram amounts.     

Making Dimethylamino a Transformable Directing Group by Nickel‐Catalyzed CN Borylation

The dimethylamino (Me₂N) group is arguably the most versatile functional group capable of highly efficient and site‐selective directed aromatic functionalizations at the ortho‐, meta‐, and para‐positions depending on reaction conditions. While the repertoire of Me₂N‐directed reactions is growing at a rapid pace, the lack of a general method to transform this group to other functionalities hampers its wider application in organic synthesis. Here we report nickel‐catalyzed C?N borylations of aryl‐ and benzyl‐dimethylamines that permit the conversion of a huge library of largely underutilized Me₂N‐containing organic molecules into various functional molecules by taking advantage of the wealth of existing C?B functionalization methods.
