First Total Synthesis of 5_α-Hydroxy-isopterocarpolone

Sesquiterpenic compounds of the Eudesmane family have attracted considerable attention due to their intriguing biological properties1,2, particularly significant antifeedant activity, cell growth inhibitory and plant growth regulating activities.In 1996, J. Hu and co-workers3 had isolated eudesmane sesquiterpene 5?-hydroxy-isopterocarpolone 1 from the aerial parts of chinese folk medicine Artemisia eriopoda and elucidated its structure by spectropic methods. Herein, we reported the first tota…     

Cosolvent Effect on the Tautomerism of Ethyl Acetoacetate in Supercritical CO_2

There are some unique advantages for chemical reactions in SCFs. For example, reaction rates, yields, and selectivity can be tuned by pressure or small amount of cosolvent. SCFs can be used to replace environmentally undesirable solvents. It is not surprised that in recent years the use of SCFs as solvents for chemical reaction media has received much attention. However, mechanism for the effect of pressure and cosolvents on chemical reactions is not very clear. Tautomeric reactions are id…     

Synthesis of Novel Chiral Diol Ligands for the Enantioselective Reactions

The chiral diols ((,(,((,((-Tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanols) have been used for the formation of cyclic titanates and similar derivatives of Mg, Al and Zr. These complexes of oxophilic metal centers were employed in catalytic and stiochiometric enantioselective reactions such as enantioselective addition reactions of carbon-centered nucleophiles to aldehydes1, [2+2] cycloadditions2, and Diels-Alder reactions3. So far, the two hydrogen atoms of all this type of diols are in trans form…     

Mono-Allylation of Gem-Diacetates with Allylsamarium Bromide

Our group have explored the reaction of allylsamarium bromide with a variety of substrates, such as N-(2-aminoalkyl)benzotriazoles1, imines2, nitriles3, diorgano diselenides4, disulfides5, isocyanates6 and nitroalkenes7. Here we wish to report the monoallylation of gem-diacetates with allylsamarium bromide. Gem-diacetates are stable in neutral and basic media, thus they are frequently used to protect aldehydes8. However, the presence of two leaving groups at the same carbon may make carbon …     

Ab initio study of long-range electron transfer between biphenyl anion radical and naphthalene

After the separation of the donor, the aeceptor, and the σ-type bridge from the π-σ-π system, the geometries of biphenyl, biphenyl anion radical, naphthalene, and naphthalene anion radical are optimized, and then the reorganization energy for the intermolecular electron transfer (ET) at the levels of HF/4-31G and HF/DZP is calculated. The ET matrix elements of the self-exchange reactions of the π-σ-π systems have been calculated by means of both the direct calculation based on the variational principle, and the transition energy between the molecular orbitals at the linear coordinate R=0.5. For the cross reactions, the ET matrix element and the geometry of the transition state are determined by searching the minimum energy splitting △_(min) along the reaction coordinate. In the evaluation of the solvent reorganization energy of the ET in solution, the Marcus' two-sphere model has been invoked. A few of ET rate constants for the intramolecular ET reactions for the π-σ-π systems, which contain     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,2,4,6-Tetraphenyl-2-hydroxy-8-azabicycle[3,2,1]octane

1 INTRODUCTIONAtrope alkaloids, which exist in eggplant plants, such as atrope and scopolamine, are used as a series of important drugs in medical science [1,2]. The typical character of atrope alkaloid is that these compounds contain the main skeleton of 8-azabicycle[3,2,1]octane , which results in the very complicated synthetic routine[3]. During our research for the reaction of 1,3,5,7-tetraphenyl-4- nitro-1,7-heptadione with low-valent titanium reagent, we easily synthesized the title …     

Two New Compounds from Goniothalamus Cheliensis Hu

Goniothalamus cheliensis Hu (Annonaceace) is a small tree or shrub in Yunnan Province, southwest of China. Acetogenins, styryllactones and alkaloids1-3 from the genus were reported in the previous literature and many of them showed strong cytotoxic activities against a number of human cancer cell lines4. The titled plant has been the subject of our investigation due to the impressive cytotoxicity of its organic extract against mouse lymphocytic leukemia cells in preliminary pharmacological s…
