Selective Anodic Monofluorination of Sulfur-Containing Heterocycles: Potent Applications towards Pharmaceuticals

Regioselective anodic monofluorination of 3-thiolanones, 1,3-oxathiolanones, and 1,3-dithiolanones was successfully carried out in MeCN containing Et₃Nß3HF or Et₄NFß4HF as a supporting electrolyte. Among the fluorinated products, 2-benzyl-4,4-dimethyl-2-ethoxycarbonyl-5-fluoro-3-thiolanone was found to possess comparable or even stronger in vitro human type II phospholipase A2 inhibitory activity compared with the known inhibitor, manoalide.     

Syntheses and Spectroscopic Study of Some New N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl Phosphoric Triamides; Crystal Structures of 4‐F‐C6H4C(O)N(H)P(O)R2, R = NH‐C(CH3)3, NH‐CH2C6H5, N(CH3)(CH2C6H5)

Some new N‐4‐Fluorobenzoyl phosphoric triamides with formula 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O)X₂, X = NH‐C(CH₃)₃ ( 1 ), NH‐CH₂‐CH=CH₂ ( 2 ), NH‐CH₂C₆H₅ ( 3 ), N(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 4 ), NH‐CH(CH₃)(C₆H₅) ( 5 ) were synthesized and characterized by ¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P NMR, IR and Mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis. The structures of compounds 1 , 3 and 4 were investigated by X‐ray crystallography. The P=O and C=O bonds in these compounds are anti. Compounds 1 and 3 form one dimensional polymeric chain produced by intra‐ and intermolecular ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. Compound 4 forms only a centrosymmetric dimer in the crystalline lattice via two equal ‐P=O···H‐N‐ hydrogen bonds. ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra show two series of signals for the two amine groups in compound 1 . This is also observed for the two α‐methylbenzylamine groups in 5 due to the presence of chiral carbon atom in molecule. ¹³C NMR spectrum of compound 4 shows that ²J(P,C_aliphatic) coupling constant for CH₂ group is greater than for CH₃ in agreement with our previous study. Mass spectra of compounds 1 ‐ 3 (containing 4‐F‐C₆H₄C(O)N(H)P(O) moiety) indicate the fragments of amidophosphoric acid and 4‐F‐C₆H₄CN⁺ that formed in a pseudo McLafferty rearrangement pathway. Also, the fragments of aliphatic amines have high intensity in mass spectra.

Production of Hydroxy Acids: Selective Double Oxidation of Diols by Flavoprotein Alcohol Oxidase

Flavoprotein oxidases can catalyze oxidations of alcohols and amines by merely using molecular oxygen as the oxidant, making this class of enzymes appealing for biocatalysis. The FAD‐containing (FAD=flavin adenine dinucleotide) alcohol oxidase from P. chrysosporium facilitated double and triple oxidations for a range of aliphatic diols. Interestingly, depending on the diol substrate, these reactions result in formation of either lactones or hydroxy acids. For example, diethylene glycol could be selectively and fully converted into 2‐(2‐hydroxyethoxy)acetic acid. Such a facile cofactor‐independent biocatalytic route towards hydroxy acids opens up new avenues for the preparation of polyester building blocks.     

Organocatalyzed Enantioselective Desymmetrization of Diols in the Preparation of Chiral Building Blocks

Desymmetrization of diols is a powerful tool to the synthesis of chiral building blocks. Among the different approaches to perform discrimination between both enantiotopic hydroxyl groups, the organocatalytic approach has gained importance in the last years. A diverse range of organocatalysts has been used to efficiently promote this enantioselective transformation and this Minireview examines the different contributions in this field.     

Study on the Retention Behavior of Aromatic Carboxylic and Sulfonic acid on a New Anion Exchange Column

Ion chromatography (IC) has gradually developed into a preferred method for the determination of inorganic anions. And in recent years some low molecular aliphatic acid can be also separated in the ion exchange column with the development of stationary phase. But for the determination of aromatic ionic compounds there are some problems. The aromatic anions show enhanced retention due to interaction with the π electrons of the aromatic backbone. Although the addition of an organic modifier can alleviate the difficulty, it is not the ultimate solution. IonPac AS20 column was developed using a unique polymer bonding technology and its substrate coating is aliphatic backbone. The polymer is completely free of any π electron‐containing substituents in the AS20 column. In this paper, the retention behavior of aromatic carboxylic and sulfonic acid on two hydroxide‐selective columns, IonPac AS11‐HC, AS16, and the new column AS20 was also studied. The result showed that the retentions of ten compounds on three columns were different with each other because of their different column characteristics. Among them 4‐chlorobenzene sulfonic acid, 3,5‐dihydric benzoic acid and salicylic acid obviously exhibited the weakest retention on the IonPac AS20. It was showed that π‐π bond function between anion and stationary phases was weakened in AS20 column because its polymer was completely free of any π electron‐containing substituents. So in this paper the AS20 was selected as an analytical column to separate ten aromatic ionic compounds, fumaric acid with conjugate bond included. The retention behavior, separation of the ten compounds and effect of temperature on their retention in the anion‐exchange column AS20 (2 mm) were studied. The result showed that those compounds could be separated with each other when running in gradient program and the organic modifier was unnecessary during the separation. So it is showed that AS20 column can be used as a separating column because its polymer is completely free of any π electron‐containing substituents. Finally, the effect of temperature on the retention behavior in AS20 column was studied and it was showed that the retention of nine compounds exhibited endothermic behavior.

Synthesis,Structure, Solid-State NMR Spectroscopy,and Electronic Structures of the Phosphidotrielates Li3AlP2 and Li3GaP2

The lithium phosphidoaluminate Li₉AlP₄ represents a promising new compound with a high lithium ion mobility. This triggered the search for new members in the family of lithium phosphidotrielates, and the novel compounds Li₃AlP₂ and Li₃GaP₂, obtained directly from the elements via ball milling and subsequent annealing, are reported here. It was unexpectedly found through band structure calculations that Li₃AlP₂ and Li₃GaP₂ are direct band gap semiconductors with band gaps of 3.1 and 2.8 eV, respectively. Rietveld analyses reveal that both compounds crystallize isotypically in the orthorhombic space group Cmce (no. 64) with lattice parameters of a=11.5138(2), b=11.7634(2) and c=5.8202(1) Å for Li₃AlP₂, and a=11.5839(2), b=11.7809(2) and c=5.8129(2) Å for Li₃GaP₂. The crystal structures feature TrP₄ (Tr=Al, Ga) corner- and edge-sharing tetrahedra, forming two-dimensional layers. The lithium atoms are located between and inside these layers. The crystal structures were confirmed by MAS-NMR spectroscopy.     

Determination of Absolute Configuration of Acyclic 1,2‐Diols with [Mo2(OAc)4], Part 2: New Structural Evidence toward a Rationale of the Method: What Remains of [Mo2(OAc)4] in DMSO Solution?

The nature of the CD-active species obtained by mixing dimolybdenum tetraacetate and a chiral 1,2-diol in DMSO has been studied by different techniques (1D and 2D (1)H NMR, CD, UV/Vis) with two substrates, (R)-phenyl-1,2-ethanediol (1) and (R,R)-butane-2,3-diol (2). The diol/dimolybdenum adducts have diagnostic CD spectra whose sign correlates with the absolute configuration of the organic substrate. It is demonstrated that, in DMSO solution, the acetate ligands of [Mo(2)(OAc)(4)] dissociate to a large extent under the action of the dissolved water, yielding acetic acid and a polyhydrated dimolybdenum species. Addition of a 1,2-diol leads to chelation with formation of one main active species for 2 and two for 1, all with 1:1 stoichiometries at diol/dimolybdenum molar ratios less than 1.5. Only a small fraction (less than 20 %) of the 1,2-diol is bound. The structures of the active complexes are estimated on the basis of NMR spectra, by correlating the observed chemical shifts with the quadruple bond diamagnetic anisotropy. In the predominating complexes for 1 and 2, the 1,2-diol moiety bridges the Mo(2) core forming a six-membered ring.     

Infrared Cavity Ringdown Spectroscopy of Jet‐Cooled Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons

Infrared absorption spectra of the CH stretching region were observed for naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, pyrene, and perylene using a heated, supersonic, slit‐jet source and cavity ringdown spectroscopy. Band positions and intensities recorded with 0.2‐cm^?1 resolution were compared with previous gas‐phase and argon matrix isolation experiments, as well as theoretical calculations. The largest matrix shift in the absorption maximum (‐7.4 cm^?1) was observed for anthracene, with all others shifted by 3.0 cm^?1 or less. Spectral features in the supersonic jet spectrum were generally narrower than those observed in the Ar matrix, with the largest matrix broadening found for the perylene (80 % increase). Low number densities observed for the larger polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) suggest that the lower vapor pressure of PAHs with catacondensed four‐membered rings and with five‐membered rings other than perylene will not be detectable using our current configuration.     

Cascade‐ and Orthoamide‐Type Overman Rearrangements of Allylic Vicinal Diols

This article describes the details of two new types of Overman rearrangement from allylic vicinal diols. Starting from identical diols, both bis(imidate)s and cyclic orthoamides were selectively synthesized by simply changing the reaction conditions. Whilst exposure of the bis(imidate)s to thermal conditions initiated the double Overman rearrangement to introduce two identical nitrogen groups in a single operation (the cascade‐type Overman rearrangement), the reaction of cyclic orthoamides resulted in a single rearrangement (the orthoamide‐type Overman rearrangement). The newly generated allylic alcohols from the orthoamide‐type reaction can potentially undergo a variety of further transformations. For instance, we demonstrated an Overman/Claisen sequence in one pot. The most conspicuous feature of this method is that it offers precise control over the number of Overman rearrangements from the same allylic vicinal diols. This method also excludes the tedious protecting‐group manipulations of the homoallylic alcohols, which are necessary in conventional Overman rearrangements. All of the performed rearrangements proceeded in a completely diastereoselective fashion through a chair‐like transition state.     

Scleroglucan derivatives: Aromatic carbamates

Scleroglucan is a polysaccharide produced industrially by the fungus Sclerotium rolfsii. Aromatic carbamate derivatives of scleroglucan have been prepared via the reaction of phenyl and tolyl isocyanates on the hydroxyl groups of the polymer chain. The reaction conditions have been determined in order to obtain the fully substituted polymer while conserving as much as possible the initial chain length. The reaction in pyridine at 80°C of a large exess of isocyanate (three times the stoechiometric amount) yields the higher degree of substitution (DS) and the higher intrinsic viscosity. These new polymers have been characterized by elemental microanalysis, spectroscopic methods (IR, ¹H-, and ¹³C-NMR) and thermal analysis. They are found to be soluble in organic solvents and soften between 200 and 225°C, and are thermally unstable above this temperature. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
