Reversal of Regioselectivity of Nitrone Cycloadditions by Lewis Acids

The regio‐ and stereoselectivity of cycloadditions of the nitrone 1a and the chiral, sugar‐derived nitrones 13a and 13b with 3‐(prop‐2‐enoyl)‐1,3‐oxazolidin‐2‐one ( 2 ) depends on the nature of the Lewis acid catalyst used. Addition of Lewis acid reverses the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition, and improves the anti‐diastereoselectivity in the case of chiral nitrones. The sterically favored isoxazolidin‐5‐yl‐substituted adducts 3, 4 , and 14 – 17 are produced as the major products in the absence of Lewis acid, while the electronically favored regioisomers with isoxazolidin‐4‐yl substituents ( 5, 6 , and 18 – 21 , respectively) are obtained as major products in the [Ti(OⁱPr)₂Cl₂] catalyzed reactions. The reactions of nitrone 13b with 2 in the presence of other Lewis acids such as ZnCl₂, ZnBr₂, ZnI₂ and MgI₂/I₂ gave both regioisomeric pairs of the diastereoisomers, favoring the 4‐substituted congeners. The diastereoisomeric isoxazolidines 3a – 6a were reduced with NaBH₄ in THF/H₂O with subsequent desilylation to yield the separable diols 9 – 12 . Reduction of the diastereoisomeric isoxazolidines 19a and 18a afforded the chiral alcohols 23 and 22 , the latter of which was analyzed by X‐ray crystallography.     

Theoretical study on coordination of methanol clusters to 3-methyl-4-pyrimidone

Density functional theory (DFT), MP2, and couple cluster ab initio methods were employed to investigate the microsolvation of 3-methyl-4-pyrimidone (3M4P) surrounded by methanol (MeOH) molecules. Structures are analyzed based on hydrogen bonds with a focus on relative energies, interaction energies, hydrogen bond cooperativity, hydrogen bonding geometries, and redshifts in the frequencies of O–H and C=O stretching modes. Our results show that there is no preferential orientation of MeOH attacks on the carbonyle site of 3M4P; both trans and cis 3M4P-MeOH complexes have same chance to be observed. cis 3M4P-MeOH and 3M4P-MeOH complex in which MeOH is located on N lie 0.56 and 3.11 kJ/mol at CCSD(T)/6-31+G(d,p) (0.63 and 1.67 kJ/mol at MP2/6-311++G(d,p)) above trans 3M4P-MeOH. MeOH dimers form more stable 3M4P-(MeOH)₂ complexes compare to 3M4P-(MeOH)₂ complexes in which individual MeOH molecules bind to carbonyl and N. Relative energies of 3M4P-(MeOH)₃ computed using various DFT methods point out the complex formed by linear MeOH trimer along methyl group of 3M4P (cis 3M4P-(MeOH)₃) as lowest. Carbonyl group is predicted as preferential site for hydrogen bond interaction. Besides O–H…O and O–H…N hydrogen bonds, 3M4P-(MeOH)₂ and 3M4P-(MeOH)₃ complexes are also stabilized by H–O…H–C weak interactions.

Synthesis of Derivatives of (4-Methyl-2-Quinolylthio)acetic and (4-Methyl-2-Quinolylthio)propionic Acids

An efficient synthesis has been developed for derivatives of (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)acetic and (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)propionic acids by the reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with methyl methacrylate, the amide of methacrylic acid, acrylonitrile, ethyl bromoacetate, and ethyl acrylate. The hydrolysis of the resultant intermediates by (quinolylthio)acetic and (quinolylthio)propionic acids gave the corresponding acid products, which are also formed in the reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with chloroacetic and acrylic acids. The reaction of 4-methyl-2-thioxoquinoline with allyl bromide was studied. The potassium permanganate oxidation of the resultant 2-allylthio-4-methylquinoline led to (4-methyl-2-quinolylthio)acetic acid.__________Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 4, pp. 403–406, April, 2005.     

N-4-戊烯基硝酮分子内环加成反应区域选择性的理论研究

N-烯基硝酮分子内环加成反应具有区域选择性,如图1.当n=2,R~1=R~2=R~3=H时,即N-4-戊烯基硝酮分子内环加成反应.实验表明,P_a的产率为23％,P_b为47％.我们曾用MINDO/3方法对此反应进行IRC计算,确证P_a、P_b是经由反应物两种不同构象(R_a、R_b)分别得到的产物,并讨论了二反应活化势垒的差别对区域选择性的影响.Tufariello等人认为,P_b的较高产率主要由于2个产物的过渡态的熵差别.为此,本文从理论上考察活化熵和活化焓对区域选择性的影响.

Photoionization and Dissociation Study of 2-Methyl-2-propen-1-ol: Experimental and Theoretical Insights

The photoionization and dissociation of 2-methyl-2-propen-1-ol (MPO) have been investigated by using molecular beam experimental apparatus with tunable vacuum ultravioletsynchrotron radiation in the photon energy region of 8.0-15.5 eV. The photoionization efficiency (PIE) curves for molecule ion and fragment ions: C₄H₈O⁺、C₄H₇O⁺、C₃H₅O⁺、C₄H₇⁺、C₄H₆⁺、C₄H₅⁺、C₂H₄O⁺、C₂H₃O⁺、C₃H₆⁺、C₃H₅⁺、C₃H₃⁺、CH₃O⁺、CHO⁺ have been measured, and the ionization energy (IE) and the appearance energies (AEs) of the fragment ions have been obtained. The stable species and the first order saddle points have been calculated on the CCSD(T)/cc-pvTZ//B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level. With combination of theoretical and experimental results, the dissociative photoionization pathways of 2-methyl-2-propen-1-ol are proposed. Hydrogen migrations within the molecule are the dominant processes in most of the fragmentation pathways of MPO.     

Hydrogen bonding and the protonation site in 3-methyl-4-pyrimidone

The interaction between 3-methyl-4-pyrimidone and phenol derivatives or HBr has been studied by IR spectrometry in solution and in the solid state. For pK_a values ranging from 10.3 to 4.5, normal OH··· OC hydrogen bonds are formed. With stronger acids (PK_a = 0.4 to ?6) protonation occurs at the N(1) nitrogen atom of the ring. For phenols of intermediate pK_a values (3.5), there is no preferred site of interaction, both OH···OC and NH⁺···O^? bonds being formed in solution.     

Condensation Op 3-Acetyl-and 3-Acetyl-4-Methyl-2H-1-Benzopyran-2-One with Aromatic Adehydes

The reactivities of 3-acetyl-2H-1-benzo-pyran-2-one (2) and 3-acetyl-4-methyl-2H-1-benzopy-ran-2-one (3)are compared in the condensation with aromatic aldehydes. It is established that the benzopyrones 2 and 4 condense with various aromatic aldehydes in chloroform containing some drops of piperidine by boiling for 7 hours and azeotropic distillation of water, yielding 3-cinnamoyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones (3a-g) and 4-(2-arylvinyl)-3-acetyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones (6a-f), respectively. Evidence is provided that benzopyrone 4 participates in the condensation with the methyl group in position 4. A probable mechanism of the process is proposed.

TS-1分子筛Lewis酸性的理论研究

应用密度泛函理论和量子力学与分子力学联合的ONIOM2方法对含Ti的MFI分子筛(TS-1)中Ti4+离子在三种不同骨架落位上所表现的Lewis酸性进行了理论研究. 利用碱性探针分子(CO, NH3, 乙腈和吡啶)在骨架Ti活性中心的吸附作用,对吸附络合物的几何结构和吸附能进行了计算,并通过自然键轨道(NBO)分析考察了吸附络合物的电子结构. 结果表明,骨架Ti在T12位表现出明显的Lewis酸性,对NH3分子有较强的吸附作用. NBO分析表明,骨架Ti活性中心的Lewis酸性是由于 Ti - O 键的空σ反键轨道接受碱性探针分子提供的孤对电子;NH3分子吸附导致Ti4+离子由近正四面体中心对称变为五配位的三角双锥对称.     

Study on the Regioselectivity of Rhodium-Catalyzed Ring Opening Reactions of C1-Substituted 7-Oxabenzonorbornadienes with Boronic Acids

An optimized condition for the rhodium-catalyzed ring-opening reaction of C₁-substituted oxabicyclic alkenes with aryl boronic acids was developed and the effect of aryl boronic acid as well as the effect of C₁ substitution on the oxabicyclic alkenes was studied. Aryl boronic acids carrying electron-donating substituents provided the ring-opened products in excellent yields regardless of the position, while electron-withdrawing substituents were more susceptible to steric interactions. Although two different regioisomers are possible, all the rhodium-catalyzed ring-opening reactions of C₁ substituted oxabicyclic alkenes studied with aryl boronic acids were found to be highly regioselective, giving single regioisomers in all cases.

A new thiosemicarbazone compound derived from 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-(2-thenoyl) pyrazolone-5(HPMTP) and thiosemicarbazide has been synthesized and characterized by IR, HNMR, MS, elemental analysis, UV and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compound crystallizes in monoclinic system, Cc space group with a = 7.5925(8), b = 20.263(2), c = 11.4669(13) ,  = 107.825(8)°, V = 1679.5(3) 3, Z = 4, R = 0.0316 and wR = 0.0687. The results of antibacterial activity test against Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis indicate that the compound possesses the same antibacterial activity as the contrast(Norfloxacin). Theoretical study of the forming mechanism to the title compound at the RHF/6-31G(d) level shows that there are two steps. The distal amino group of thiosemicarbazide is added to the 4-carbonyl group of HPMTP which forms TM. Then a dehydration reaction occurs in TM and generates a stable product PC.
