Spectroscopic and photoelectrochemical differences between racemic and enantiomeric [Ru(phen)3] ions intercalated into layered niobate K4Nb6O17

Chirality effects have been observed in the intercalation, spectroscopic and photoelectrochemical behavior when enantiomeric and racemic [Ru(phen)₃]²⁺ complexes were intercalated in the interlayer spaces of K₄Nb₆O₁₇. The results were interpreted in terms of a [Nb₆O₁₇]⁴⁻-chelate and chelate–chelate interactions. The faster luminescence decay and higher photocurrent of the enantiomeric [Ru(phen)₃]²⁺–K₄Nb₆O₁₇ compounds than the racemic ones suggest that the emission of adsorbed [Ru(phen)₃]²⁺ ions was not only quenched by adsorbed complexes (or concentration quenching) but also by the semiconductive host lattices.     

Diastereo-enantioseparation of novel γ-lactamic derivatives on cellulose chiral stationary phases

Summary This paper describes the enantiorecognition of 1-methyl-3-hydroxy-5-aryl-2-pyrrolidinonic systems by high-performance liquid chromatography using two chiral derivatized cellulose stationary phases (CSPs) operated in the normal phase mode. According our results, the tris-(3,5-dimethylphenyl carbamate) cellulose, Chiralcel^? OD, is more suitable than the tris-(4-methyl-phenylbenzoate), Chiralcel^? OJ. On the first column, the resolution of the pyrrolidinonic compounds depends on the alcoholic modifier percentage. A possible solute-stationary phase recognition mechanism is discussed. The temperature and mobile phase composition have been considered to explain the different contribution for the enantiomeric resolution.     

Enantioselective syntheses of no-carrier-added (n.c.a.) (s)-4-chloro-2-[f] fluorophenylalanine and (s)-(α-methyl) -4-chloro-2-[f]fluorophenylalanine

(S)-4-Chloro-2-fluorophenylalanine and (S)-(α-methy)-4-chloro-2-fluorophenylalanine were synthesized and labeled with no carrier added (n.c.a.) fluorine-18 through a radiochemical synthesis relying on the highly enantioselective reaction between 4-chloro-2-[¹⁸F]fluorobenzyl iodide and the lithium enolate of (2S)-1-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-2-(tert-butyl)-3-methyl-1,3-imidazolidine-4-one for (S)-4-chloro-2-[¹⁸F]fluorophenylalanine and (2S,5S)-1-(tert-butyloxycarbonyl)-2-(tert-butyl)-3,5-dimethyl-1,3-imidazolidine-4-one for (S)-(α-methyl) -4-chloro-2-[¹⁸F] fluorophenylalanine. Quantities of about 20–25 mCi were obtained at the end of sy nthesi s, ready for injection after hydrolysis and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purification, with a radiochemical yield of 17%–20% corrected to the end of bombardment after a total synthesis time of 90–105 min from [¹⁸F] fluoride. The enantiomeric excesses were shown to be 97% or more for both molecules without chiral separation and the radiochemical and chemical purities were 98% or better.

Substitution reactions in ionic liquids. A kinetic study

The rate of the substitution reaction of (R)-3-chloro-3,7-dimethyloctane (1) with either methanol or benzyl alcohol in mixtures containing the ionic liquid [Bmim][N(CF₃SO₂)₂] was monitored using ³⁵Cl NMR spectroscopy. The enantiomeric excess of the product, (S)-3-methoxy-3,7-dimethyloctane (2a), was analyzed using chiral gas chromatography. This product showed a decreasing enantiomeric excess with increasing concentration of ionic liquid. The rate of reaction of substrate 1 in each case varied with the concentration of the ionic liquid. Polarity measurements of the solvent mixtures were undertaken by standard methods, which are compared both to each other and to the observed rates. Solvent reorganization and selective solvation are also each proposed as contributing to the difference in the observed rates of reaction.     

Synthesis of the dopamine D2/D3 receptor agonist (+)-PHNO via supercritical fluid chromatography: preliminary PET imaging study with [3-C]-(+)PHNO

Carbon-11 labeled (+)-4-[1-¹¹C]propyl-3,4,4a,5,6,10b-hexahydro-2H-naphtho[1,2-b][1,4]oxazin-9-ol ([1-¹¹C]-(+)-PHNO) is a dopamine D₃-preferring agonist radiopharmaceutical used for medical imaging by positron emission tomography (PET). We report the synthesis of (+)-PHNO using supercritical fluid chromatography for enantiomeric resolution of its norpropyl derivative, HNO, followed by propylation. (+)-HNO was used to prepare the radiolabeling precursor, (+)-trans-4-acetyl-9-triisopropylsilyloxy-2,3,4a,5,6,10b-hexahydro-4H-naphth[1,2b][1,4]oxazine, in 12 steps. Modifications to the labeling procedure were made to ensure consistent preparation of [3-¹¹C]-(+)-PHNO via [¹¹C]CH₃I. A preliminary PET imaging study was carried out with this tracer in an attempt to image dopamine receptors in brown adipose tissue (brown fat) in vivo.     

Effects of the temperature and substituents in chiral TiIV(salen) catalysts on the enantioselectivity of the addition of Me3SiCN to PhCHO

The enantiomeric purity (ee) of the addition product of Me₃SiCN to PhCHO at ∼20 °C catalyzed by chiral Ti^IV complexes, which were preparedin situ from Ti(OPrⁱ)₄ and the Schiff bases (condensation products of substituted salicylaldehydes with (1R, 2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane), was, on the average, 20–30% lower than that achieved at −80 °C. The substituents at position 5 of 3-tert-butylsalicylaldehyde exert only the steric effect. It was shown that the stereochemical result of the reaction is controlled by the stage which involves the formation of the C−C bond rather than the transfer of the Me₃Si group.

Applications of P NMR spectroscopy in development of M(Duphos)-catalyzed asymmetric synthesis of P-stereogenic phosphines (M = Pt or Pd)

This perspective describes the use of ³¹P NMR spectroscopy in an ongoing research project on enantioselective P−C bond formation catalyzed by platinum and palladium Duphos complexes. This technique was used to characterize catalyst precursors, intermediates and products, to determine equilibrium and rate constants, and to measure the enantiomeric excess (ee) of the P-stereogenic phosphine products. Applications of ³¹P NMR spectroscopy in problem-solving and identifying unexpected products, as well as the analysis of an unusual and esthetically pleasing spectrum, are also discussed.

Technische Verfahren zur Synthese von Carotinoiden und verwandten Verbindungen aus 6-Oxo-isophoron. III. Ein neues Konzept für die Synthese der enantiomeren Astaxanthine

Technical Procedures for the Synthesis of Carotenoids and Related Compounds from 6-Oxo-isophorone. III. A New Concept for the Synthesis of the Enantiomeric Astaxanthins A new and efficient concept for the total synthesis of (3S, 3'S)- and (3R, 3'R)-astaxanthin ( 1a and 1c , resp.) in high overall yield and up to 99,2% enantiomeric purity is described. Key intermediates are the (S)- and (R)-acetals 10 and 17 , respectively (Scheme 2). These chiral building blocks were synthesized via three different routes: a) functionalization of the enantiomeric 3-hydroxy-6-oxo-isophorons⁴) 2 and 11 , respectively (Scheme 2); b) optical resolution of 3,4-dihydroxy-compound⁴) 19 (Scheme 3), and c) fermentative reductions of 6-oxo-isophorone derivatives (Schemes 4 and 5). - The absolute configurations of the two intermediates 12 and 13 (Scheme 2) have been confirmed by X-ray analysis. - The final steps leading to the enantiomeric astaxanthins are identical with those described for optically inactive astaxanthin [1].     

Triphenylethanediol-Derived 2-Chloro-1,3,2- dioxaphospholane: Synthesis,Structure, and Reaction with Chiral Alcohols

The reaction of (S)-1,1,2-triphenylethanediol (3) with phosphorus trichloride leads to the diastereoselective formation of (S _C,R _P)-2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane (2). Its configuration has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. When reacted with racemic secondary alcohols, diastereomeric phosphites are obtained, which display substantial shift differences in the ³¹P NMR spectra. Thus, chlorodioxaphospholane 2 can serve as derivatizing reagent for chiral secondary alcohols permitting to determine their enantiomeric excess.     

Jacobsen-type enantioselective hydrolysis of aryl glycidyl ethers. 31P NMR analysis of the enantiomeric composition of oxiranes

The enantioselective partial hydrolysis of a number of racemic aryl glycidyl ethers in the presence of chiral Co(salen)-catalyst was studied. The enantiomeric composition of the isolated (R)-aryl glycidyl ethers was analyzed by ³¹P NMR using optically active substituted 2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxaphospholanes. A synthesis of -adrenoblocking agents (S)-toliprolol and (S)-moprolol based on the simultaneously obtained (S)-3-aryloxypropane-1,2-diols was proposed.     

Density functional theory and Hartree–Fock-density functional theory calculations of O, S, and Ge quadrupole coupling constants

The performance of several density functional theory and Hartree–Fock density functional theory methods in conjunction with Pople type bases for the calculation of ¹⁷O, ³³S, and ⁷³Ge quadrupole coupling constants in gaseous state molecules was investigated.Assessment of the several models was made by linear regression analysis of the calculated gradient of the molecular electric field versus the experimental nuclear quadrupole coupling constant (NQCCs). Calculations for oxygen on six molecules with the B3LYP/6-311++G(3df,3p) model yield a residual standard deviation of 0.057 MHz (1.4%); for sulfur on 12 molecules with the B3LYP/6-311G(3df,3p) model, 0.42 MHz (1.8%); and for germanium on nine molecules with the B3P86/6-311G(2d) model, 0.83 MHz (1.0%).In the case of germyl acetylene, our calculations indicate that the experimental NQCC reported some time ago by Thomas and Laurie [J. Chem. Phys. 44 (1966) 2602] was incorrectly assigned with respect to algebraic sign.Predictions are made of the ¹⁷O and ³³S NQCCs in furan, 4H-pyran-4-one, 4H-pyran-4-thione, and 4H-thiapyran-4-thione; and of the ⁷³Ge NQCC in germyl bromide.     

Lipase catalyzed acylation of primary alcohols with remotely located stereogenic centres: the resolution of (±)-4,4-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1-pentanol

Enantioselective acylation of some (±)-3-alkyl-3-phenyl-1-propanols was performed with enzymes as catalysts. Moderate enantiomeric ratios (E), ranging up to E = 11.6, were obtained. In the resolution, some of the lipases selectively acylated the (+)-enantiomer while others acylated the (−)-enantiomer of the γ-substituted primary alcohols 1–4. Thus, it is possible to obtain both enantiomers of the alcohols as remaining substrate with high enantiomeric purity. The resolution of (±)-4,4-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1-pentanol 4 was extensively studied and screening experiments were conducted to select suitable lipase(s), reaction medium, acyl donor and appropriate temperature combinations to increase the enantiomeric ratio. Chirazyme^® L-6/chloroform/vinyl propionate/38 °C and Chirazyme^® L-7/di-iso-propyl ether/vinyl propionate/0 °C were chosen to obtain both enantiomers, (R)-(+)-4 and (S)-(−)-4, respectively, via sequential resolutions in excellent enantiomeric excess (>98%) and in 25% and 22% yield, respectively.     

Enantiomeric differentiation of β‐amino alcohols under electrospray ionization mass spectrometric conditions

The enantiomeric differentiation of a series of chiral β‐amino alcohols (A) is attempted, for the first time, by applying the kinetic method using L‐proline, L‐tryptophan, 4‐iodo‐L‐phenylalanine or 3, 5‐diiodo‐L‐tyrosine as the chiral references (Ref) and Cu²⁺ or Ni²⁺ ion (M) as the central metal ion. The trimeric diastereomeric adduct ions, [M+(Ref)₂+A‐H]⁺, formed under electrospray ionization conditions, are subjected for collision‐induced dissociation (CID) experiments. The products ions, formed by the loss of either a reference or an analyte, detected in the CID spectra are evaluated for the enantiomeric differentiation. All the references showed enantiomeric differentiation and the R_chiral values are better for the aromatic alcohols than for aliphatic alcohols. Notably, the R_chiral values of the aliphatic amino alcohols enhanced when Ni²⁺ is used as the central metal ion. The experimental results are well supported by computational studies carried out on the diastereomeric dimeric complexes. The computational data of amino alcohols is correlated with that of amino acids to understand the structural interaction of amino alcohols with reference molecule and central metal ion and their role on the stabilization of the dimeric complexes. Application of flow injection MS/MS method is also demonstrated for the enantiomeric differentiation of the amino alcohols. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Cyclic phosphorochloridites (chloridates) based on chiral butane-2,3-diol and dihydrobenzoin as reagents for the analysis of enantiomeric compositions of alcohols by31P NMR spectroscopy

The use of cyclic phosphorochloridites which were prepared based on PCl₃ and chiral butane-2,3-diol or hydrobenzoin as possible reagents for the analysis of the enantiomeric composition of chiral alcohols by³¹P NMR spectroscopy is considered. The diastereomeric dispersion of chemical shifts of the resulting phosphites as well as of derived phosphates and thiophosphates is compared with that of structurally similar reagents.

The role of the planar chirality of iron tricarbonyl substituted homochiral amino alcohols in the asymmetric alkylation of aldehydes with diethylzinc

Homochiral amino alcohols bearing an iron tricarbonyl moiety were prepared from 2-amino-1,1-diphenylethanol derivatives 4a–d and [(3S,4S)-η^4,7-octa-4,6-dien-3-ol]Fe(CO)₃ complex 2. The addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes bearing electron donating substituents in the presence of these chiral ligands gave the alkylated products in good enantiomeric excess (up to 93% e.e.), whereas the addition to aldehydes bearing electron withdrawing substituents resulted in low yields and poor enantiomeric excesses.     

Oclacitinib,a Janus Kinase Inhibitor,Reduces the Frequency of IL-4- and IL-10-, but Not IFN-γ-, Producing Murine CD4+ and CD8+ T Cells and Counteracts the Induction of Type 1 Regulatory T Cells

The purpose of the present study was to broaden the knowledge and understanding of the effects of oclacitinib (OCL), a Janus kinase inhibitor, on T cells in the context of both the immune mechanisms underlying anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties of the drug and its safety. The results indicate that beneficial effects of OCL in the treatment of skin allergic diseases may be partially mediated by the inhibition of IL-4 production in CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. To a certain extent, the antiproliferative effect of OCL on CD8⁺ T cells may also contribute to its therapeutic effect. The study found that OCL does not affect the proliferation of CD4⁺ T cells or the number of IFN-γ- and IL-17-producing CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. Moreover, OCL was found to counteract the induction of type 1 regulatory T (Tr1) cells and to act as a strong inhibitor of IL-10 production in both CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells. Thus, these results indicate that beneficial effects of OCL in the treatment of skin allergic diseases are not mediated through: (a) the abolishment of IFN-γ and IL-17-production in CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cells; (b) generation of Tr1 cells; (c) inhibition of CD4⁺ T cell proliferation; (d) induction of IL-10 production in CD4⁺ T cells. The results of this study strongly suggest that, with respect to the evaluated parameters, OCL exerts a suppressive effect on Th2- but not Th1-mediated immunity.
