Au-analyte adducts resulting from single massive gold cluster impacts

Utilizing Au₄₀₀⁴⁺ primary ions produces large molecular ion yields, some in excess of unity, with minimal surface damage. A surprising observation is the occurrence of Au-analyte adducts as part of the ejecta desorbed by a single Au-cluster impact. We present data that demonstrate that Au and Au-adducts as secondary ions (e.g., AuCN⁻, AuGly⁻ and AuCsI⁻) are the result of the interaction between a single primary ion, Au₄₀₀⁴⁺ and the target atoms.

Conversion of Allylic Alcohols into Allylic Nitromethyl Compounds via a Palladium-Catalyzed Solvolysis: An Enantioselective Synthesis of an Advanced Carbocyclic Nucleoside Precursor(1)

A two-step reaction sequence to homoallylic nitro compounds from allylic alcohols is presented. Ethoxy carbonylation of the alcohols with ethyl chloroformate provides the corresponding allylic ethyl carbonates in high yields. Exposure of these substrates to catalytic palladium(0) in CH(3)NO(2) initiates a reaction sequence, ionization-decarboxylation-nitromethylation, that culminates with the formation of nitroalkenes. The regio- and stereochemical outcomes of the nitromethyl allylation reaction can be explained by the behavior of the transient pi-allylpalladium complexes. This methodology serves as a centerpiece for the synthesis of an important carbocyclic nucleoside intermediate.     

Concerning the Thermal Diastereomerization of the Green Fluorescent Protein Chromophore

Summary. Two model compounds for the green fluorescent protein chromophore were prepared. One of them incorporates the natural 4-hydroxybenzylidene group of the natural tyrosin derived chromophore, the other one bears a methyl group instead of the hydroxy group. Whereas the photochemically prepared (E)-diastereomer of the first compound very effectively reverted thermally (room temperature) to the thermodynamically stable (Z)-diastereomer, the (E)-diastereomer of the second derivative proved to be stable even at elevated temperatures for more than a day. This finding can be rationalized by constructing the appropriate resonance structures showing that only in the first case an effective delocalization enables partial single bond character of the benzylidene double bond. From the standpoint of chemical etiology, only Nature’s choice of the tyrosin derived chromophore of the green fluorescent protein provides an efficient radiationless thermal relaxation channel for the unwanted photo-diastereomerization product formed after excitation besides the dominating fluorescence channel of its chromophore.     

Crystalline Inclusion Compounds Derived from Derivatives of Mandelic Acid. Host Synthesis, Inclusion Formation, and X-Ray Structures of a Free Host Compound and of DMSO Inclusion Complexes in Both Racemic and Optically Resolved Forms

New chiral host compounds based on mandelic acid derivatives having methyl (6a, b and 8a, b) or bromo substituents (7a, b) attached to the phenyl ring of mandelic acid and involving additional aromatic groups were synthesized. The inclusion properties of both the racemic and the optically resolved host species are reported, including solvent co-crystallization as well as chiroselective and vapour sorptive inclusion. The structures of the free racemic host compound 6b and of the DMSO inclusion compounds of optically resolved and racemic 8 (8a and 8b, respectively) have been determined by X-ray analysis. Enantiomeric pairs of molecules in 6b form centro-symmetric dimers by mutual hydrogen bonding of one hydroxyl group while the other is involved in O-–H ... interactions. The guest molecules in the DMSO complexes of 8a and 8b are bound via hydrogen bonds to two host molecules related by translation along crystallographic axes. Parallels to previous hosts of this type are drawn.
