Enantioselective organic syntheses using chiral transition metal complexes V. (2S,3S)-Bis(dibenzophospholyl)butane, a rigid (S,S)-CHIRAPHOS analog

The P–Ph cleavage of phenyldibenzophosphole (1) with lithium in THF gives lithium dibenzophospholide (2). Reaction of 2 with ethyleneglycol ditosylate produces the known chelate ligand 1,2-bis(dibenzophospholyl)ethane (3) in good yield. Similarly, 2 and (2R,3R)-butanediol ditosylate give the new chiral chelate ligand (2S,3S)-bis(dibenzophospholyl)butane (4). Ligand exchange of [CpRu(PPh₃)₂Cl] with 3 or 4 yields the halfsandwich complexes [CpRu(C₁₂H₈PC₂H₄PC₁₂H₈)Cl] (5) and [CpRu((S,S)-C₁₂H₈PCHMeCHMePC₁₂H₈)Cl] (6). Complex 6 was characterized crystallographically (monoclinic, space group P2₁ (no. 4), a=820.6(4), b=1501.0(3), c=1172.8(6) pm, β=108.87(2)°, V=1.367(1)×10⁹ pm³, Z=2). The most conspicuous feature of the structure of 6 is the perfect coplanarity of the two dibenzophosphole moieties imposed by their steric interaction with the Cp ligand. Complex 6 and the thiophene complex [CpRu((S,S)-C₁₂H₈PCHMeCHMePC₁₂H₈)(SC₄H₄)]BF₄ (7) derived therefrom are remarkably unreactive with regard to ligand substitutions. A possible explanation is the lack of intramolecular

–C stabilization en route to the transition state of ligand substitution. The enantiomeric purity of 6 and 7 could nevertheless be demonstrated by conversion to diastereomerically pure [CpRu((S,S)-C₁₂H₈PCHMeCHMePC₁₂H₈)((S)-CNCHMePh)]BF₄ (8).

The reaction of Cp₂Zr(L)(η²-Me₃SiC₂) (L = THF, py) with equimolar amounts of H₂C = CMe-CHO at room temperature depends strongly on the ligands L and the solvents that are used. With L = THF, in the THF solution the insertion product

Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopical measurements and 1 by an additional X-ray structure determination.     

A study of the UV—visible absorption spectrum of molecular chlorine

The UV—visible absorption spectrum of molecular chlorine at 298 K was investigated in the wavelength range 200–550 nm with a spectral resolution of 0.2 nm. Except for minor discrepancies, the absorption cross-sections are in agreement with those found in the literature. In the region 250λ-550 nm, the Cl₂ spectrum can be adequately described by a semi-empirical function of the wavelength A (in vacuum) and temperature T

, = 94.43(3), β = 106.55(3), γ = 87.86(3)°. The Rh---Pd bond distance is 2.7835(5) Å. The molecular structure of this complex suggests that its formation reaction includes: (i) ligand migrations of the Cl⁻ from the Rh center to the Pd center and the two CN⁻ groups from the Pd center to Rh center; (ii) the intermetallic one-electron transfer indicated by the alteration from Rh(I) and Pd(II) to Rh(1I) and Pd(I) respectively; (iii) the Pd(I)---Rh(II) bond formation by pairing one electron from Rh(II) with one electron from Pd(I). The differences of chemical shifts of the phosphorus atoms coordinated to the Pd center in the Pd---Ag complexes and the Pd---Rh complexes are discussed.

Liquid-phase Oppenauer oxidation of primary allylic and benzylic alcohols to corresponding aldehydes by solid zirconia catalysts

Hydrous zirconia and grafted zirconium 1-propoxide catalysts were found active in the Oppenauer oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol, geraniol and 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol (cis- and trans-). The most active hydrous zirconia catalysts were formed by calcining at 250–300 °C. Grafted zirconium 1-propoxide on silica gel and MCM-41 were active in the Oppenauer oxidation of geraniol with high selectivity to the desired citral product. However, over an acidic support such as AlMCM, the grafted zirconium 1-propoxide catalysed the dehydration and isomerisation of the alcohol, leading to low yield to citral. Also, furfural was found to be an efficient oxidant for the titled Oppenauer oxidation. Other solid catalysts such as γ-Al₂O₃, Na–Al₂O₃, zeolite beta and Mg/Al hydrotalcite showed only moderate catalytic activity and selectivity in the Oppenauer oxidation of geraniol. As compared to other solid catalysts, hydrous zirconia solid catalysts used in this work are active and selective towards the formation of desired carbonyl oxidation products; additionally, these solid zirconia catalysts are easy to prepare and recycle, and applicable to different alcohol substrates.

Graphical abstract

Hydrous zirconia calcined at 250–300 °C and grafted zirconium 1-propoxide solid catalysts were found to be efficient for the Oppenauer oxidation of cinnamyl alcohol, geraniol and 4-tert-butylcyclohexanol in toluene when furfural was used as the oxidant.

Enantiomer separation of hydrophobic amino compounds by high-performance liquid chromatography using crown ether dynamically coated chiral stationary phase

CROWNPAK CR(+) column, which is powerful for the separation of amino acid enantiomers, must be used at a column temperature below 50°C and a mobile phase containing less than 15% methanol, because the chiral crown ether moiety of the stationary phase is dynamically coated on an ODS matrix. The second peak of the enantiomers of alanine-β-naphthylamide (Ala-β-NA) appeared at 204 min (k₂=148) by using ordinary mobile phase, that is, a mixture of 10 mM perchloric acid and 15% methanol. In this study, enantiomer separations of Ala-β-NA and 1-(1-naphthyl)ethylamine (1-NEA), both of which are hydrophobic amino compounds, were investigated through the modification of the mobile phase. Addition of crown ether, cyclodextrins (CDs), cations, etc., affected the stability of the complex between an analyte and the chiral moiety, leading to fast separation. The second peak of the enantiomers of Ala-β-NA appeared at 68 min (k₂=49) through the addition of 10 mM β-CD, or at 61 min (k₂=44) using potassium dihydrophosphate as a buffer component. This method was applied for the optical purity testing of -Ala-β-NA, which is used as one of the chiral derivatization reagents for carboxylic compounds. Validations such as reproducibility and linearity were also demonstrated and this method was found to be sufficient as a quality control method for the optical purity testing of -Ala-β-NA. As little as 0.05% -form in -Ala-β-NA could be determined.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and intercalation behavior of a layered titanium phosphate Ti2(H2PO4)(HPO4)(PO4)2 · 0.5C6N2H16, with an extended γ-phase intercalated into organic amine

With a hydrothermal technique, a layered titanium phosphate with the formula Ti₂(H₂PO₄)(HPO₄)(PO₄)₂ · 0.5C₆N₂H₁₆ (denoted TP-J2) has been prepared by treating the Ti/H₃PO₄/H₂O/1-methylpiperazine system directly. The as-synthesized products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, CP-MAS solid-state ³¹P NMR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TG-DTA). The structure was solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and it presents an extended γ-phase intercalated with organic amine. Crystal data: triclinic, , a = 8.106 (2) Å, b = 8.197 (2) Å, c = 11.658 (2) Å.  = 78.32 (3)°, β = 80.85 (3)°, γ = 77.90 (3)°, Z = 2. Additionally, the intercalation behavior of TP-J2 with n-alkyl monoamine (n = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12) was investigated. Owing to the strong brønsted base, N,N′-dimethylpiperazine, resides in the interlayer, it presented unusual features of TP-J2 in contrast with that of γ-Tip.

Electronic spectra of organic molecules and their interpretation—IV Effect of terminal atoms with lone electron pairs on the K-bands of conjugated systems

The effect of the hydroxyl, methoxyl, mercapto, methylmercapto, and amino groups as well as of the charged O⁻ and S⁻ atoms (X) at the ends of the conjugated systems (1) and (2) on the position of the corresponding K-bands is discussed.

Full-size image

The conclusions of earlier investigations are confirmed. The “effective” electron migration in one direction along the absorbing conjugated system (indicated by the long arrow) determines almost exclusively the stability of the observed excited state. The displacement of a K-band to longer wavelengths on introduction of a terminal group (X) can be due either to an electron shift in the substituted system coinciding with the direction of the effective electron migration of the transition or to an increased electron polarisability of the terminal group itself.

A consistent qualitative, but very detailed, theoretical interpretation of these observations is possible by a consideration of the electronic perturbations in the excited state due to Heisenberg resonance, if the molecules are accepted as being built up of localised bonds and involving inductive (inductomeric) electron shifts only.
