Preparation,Structure, and Reactivity of Thioxo and Imino Derivatives of the Triolide (and Pentolide) from (R)-3-Hydroxybutanoic Acid

Reaction of the triolide 1 from (R)-3-hydroxybutanoic acid with Lawesson's reagent 5 leads to the mono-, di-, and trithio derivatives 6–8 which can be isolated in pure form (20–40% yields), and which have crystal structures very similar to the parent triolide 1 (Fig. 1). Similarly, pentolide 3 is converted to mixtures of various thio derivatives, three of which are separated ( 10–12 ) by HPLC and fully characterized. The X-ray structures of the mono- and of one of the dithiopentolides ( 10, 12 ) differ remarkably from each other (Fig. 3). Reduction of the thiotriolides 6–8 (NaBH₄, R₃SnH, Cl₃SiH, Raney-Ni) gives 12-membered rings containing up to three ether groups (chiral crown ethers, 15, 17–19 ) in poor yields. The thiotriolides react spontaneously and in yields of up to 96% with ammonia, certain primary amines, and hydroxylamine to give imine and oxime derivatives with intact 12-membered-ring backbones ( 20, 22–24, 30 , see crystal structures in Figs. 4–7). The rigid structure of all the derivatives of triolide 1 puts the C?O, C?S, and C?NR O-, S-, and N-atoms in juxtaposition (a feature reminiscent of the side chains in the iron-binder enterobactin, Fig. 6). Imines containing PPh₂ groups are prepared ( 30, 33, 35 ) from the thiotriolides and tested as chiral ligands for Pd^II-catalyzed 1,3-diphenyallylations (→ 37 , enantiomer ratio up to 77:23). The reactions described demonstrate that multiple reactions of the triolide 1 from (R)-3-hydroxybutanoic acid which proceed through tetrahedral intermediates are possible without ring opening – the skeleton is remarkably stable, and this might be exploited as a template for bringing up to three pendent substituents into close proximity to allow a study of their interactions and cooperative properties. Also, the di- and trithio derivatives 7 and 8 could be used for cross-linking in molecules containing primary NH₂ groups.     

Complex Formation of Crown Ethers and Cryptands with Alkali Metal and Ammonium Ions in Chloroform

The complex formation between different crown ethers and the cryptand [222] with alkali metal and ammonium ions in chloroform has been investigated by means of calorimetric titrations. The stability constants, reaction enthalpies and entropies for complex formation in chloroform have been determined. The complexation of alkali metal ions is favored by enthalpic contributions and influenced by both the ligand and the nature of the cation. The reaction enthalpies for complex formation of different ammonium salts with cryptand [222] are higher compared to the corresponding values for the reaction with different 18-crown-6 derivatives in chloroform due to the complete encapsulation of ammonium ion by the cryptand [222]. The benzo group attached to the crown ethers and the nature of the anion borne by the ammonium ion influence complex formation of ammonium with crown ethers. In the case of ammonium salts, competitive measurements have been carried out to underline the influence of the anion upon the complex formation. From the reaction enthalpies for complexation of ammonium ions, the contributions for the formation of hydrogen bonds are calculated using experimental data.

Preparation of (R)-11-hydroxyaporphine directly from (R)-10,11-dihydroxyaporphine ((R)-apomorphine)

A Regioselective synthesis of (R)-11-hydroxyaporphine 2 directly from (R)-10,11-dihydroxyaporphine ((R)-apomorphine, 1 ) is described for the first time. The isopropylidene ketal ring of 10,11-(isopropyl-idenyldioxy)aporphine 5 obtained by the isopropylidenation of apomorphine was regioselectively opened by ten equivalents of trimethylaluminum to give (R)-10-hydroxy-11-tert-butyloxyaporphine 6 . The free 10-hydioxyl position of 6 was triflated with N-pbenyltrifluoromethanesulfonimide and potassium carbonate under reflux to give (R)-10-[(trifluoromethyl)sulfonyloxy]-11-tert-butyloxyaporphine 7 . The reduced product, 11-tert-butyloxyaporphine 8 was prepared from 7 by a palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis. The ether cleavage of (R)-11-tert-butyloxyaporphine with 48% hydrobromic acid afforded the desired (R)-11-hydroxyaporphine 2 in good yield.

Gold Nanoparticles Formation via Au(III) Complex Ions Reduction with l‐Ascorbic Acid

In this paper, the kinetics and mechanism of gold nanoparticles formation during the redox reaction between [AuCl₄]− complex and l ‐ascorbic acid under different conditions were described. It was also shown that reagent concentration, chloride ions, and pH influence kinetics of nucleation and growth. To establish rate constants of these stages, the model of Finke and Watzky was applied. From Arrhenius and Eyring dependencies, the values of activation energy (22.5 kJ mol⁻¹ for the nucleation step and 30.3 kJ mol⁻¹ for the growth step), entropy (about −228 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ for the nucleation step and −128 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹ for the growth step), and enthalpy (19.8 kJ mol⁻¹ for nucleation and 27.8 kJ mol⁻¹ for particles growth) were determined. It was also shown that the disproporationation reaction had influence on the rate of nanoparticles formation and may have impact on final particles morphology.     

The Synthesis of 3-(R)- and 3-(S)-Hydroxyeicosapentaenoic Acid

Monohydroxylated polyunsaturated fatty acids belonging to the oxylipin class of natural products are present in marine and terrestrial sources as well as in the human body. Due to their biological activities and role in diverse biosynthetic pathways, oxylipins biosynthesized from eicosapentaenoic acid and arachidonic acid have attracted great interest from the scientific community. One example is 3-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid where the absolute configuration at C-3 has only been tentatively assigned. In this paper, studies on acetate type aldol reactions that enabled the preparation of 3-(R)-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (3R-HETE, 2) and its enantiomer are presented.

Preparation of Amylose-Oligo[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] Inclusion Complex by Vine-Twining Polymerization

In this study, we attempted to prepare an amylose-oligo[(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate] (ORHB) inclusion complex using a vine-twining polymerization approach. Our previous studies indicated that glucan phosphorylase (GP)-catalyzed enzymatic polymerization in the presence of appropriate hydrophobic guest polymers produces the corresponding amylose–polymer inclusion complexes, a process named vine-twining polymerization. When vine-twining polymerization was conducted in the presence of ORHB under general enzymatic polymerization conditions (45 °C), the enzymatically produced amylose did not undergo complexation with ORHB. However, using a maltotriose primer in the same polymerization system at 70 °C for 48 h to obtain water-soluble amylose, called single amylose, followed by cooling the system over 7 h to 45 °C, successfully induced the formation of the inclusion complex. Furthermore, enzymatic polymerization initiated from a longer primer under the same conditions induced the partial formation of the inclusion complex. The structures of the different products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, ¹H-NMR, and IR measurements. The mechanism of formation of the inclusion complexes discussed in the study is proposed based on the additional experimental results.

Direct Synthesis of Poly(potassium 3‐sulfopropyl methacrylate) Cylindrical Polymer Brushes via ATRP Using a Supramolecular Complex With Crown Ether

A supramolecular complex between an ionic monomer 3‐sulfopropyl methacrylate (SPMAK) and crown ether 18‐crown‐6 (18C6) has been employed to prepare a strong anionic cylindrical polyelectrolyte brush poly(potassium 3‐sulfopropyl methacrylate) (PSPMAK) by atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) in polar solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). This strategy solved the problem of the solubilities of the incompatible hydrophobic poly‐initiator and hydrophilic ionic monomer. The formation of the PSPMAK brush is well proven by ¹H NMR, aqueous gel permeation chromatography (GPC), dynamic light scattering (DLS), static light scattering (SLS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo‐TEM) measurements. Cleavage of the side chains and further analysis reveal that the initiating efficiency of the polymerization is as low as 0.35.

     

Preparation, Crystal Structure and Properties of a Pentametallic 3-Ferrocenyl-2-crotonic acid-Bridged Copper（Ⅱ） Complex

The synthesis and characterization of the copper (II) complex [Cu₂(OOCCH = C(CH₃)Fc)₃(phen)₂]CIO₄ · 2H₂O (1) are reported. The structure of the complex was determined by single‐crystal X‐ray analysis. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group Pc, with Z =2, a = 1.2799(4) nm, b =0.9969 (4) nm, c = 2.5228 nm, and β = 91.576 (1) °. The cationic part of 1 indicates a penametallic core in which three 3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐crotonic acid salt (FCA) groups act as (O, O') bridging ligands between two copper (II) ions with a square‐pyramidal environment. Cyclic voltammetric experiments in acetonitrile have been performed mainly to examine the Fe(II) → Fe(III) one‐electron oxidation in FCA and its complex. The variable‐temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements revealed very weak intramolecular anti‐ferromagnetic coupling. Fitting parameters are 2J = ‐0.2 cm^?1, g = 2.114, and θ = 0K.
