Enantiomeric resolution of anti-HIV agents on a cellulose derivative chiral stationary phase

Summary Anti-HIV enantiomeric 1H, 3H-thiazolo[3, 4-a] benzimidazoles have been stereospecifically analyzed by elution on a column of cellulose tris-(4-methyl-phenylbenzoate)ester adsorbed on macroporous silica (Chiralcel^R OJ).The enantiomeric resolution of the compounds examined is linked to a complex and competitive contribution of different factors.     

NMR determination of enantiomeric composition of 1-substituted 3-amino-1,2-dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes using Eu(hfc)3

Experimental conditions for determination of enantiomeric composition of 1-substituted 3-aminocarboranes by ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy using chiral shift reagent Eu(hfc)₃ have been found.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Synthesis,characterization, and organocatalytic application of chiral ionic liquids derived from (S,R)-noscapine

(S,R)-Noscapine, a phthalideisoquinoline alkaloid has been used as precursor for the synthesis of chiral ionic liquids (CILs). Noscapine based CILs have been synthesized from reaction between (S,R)-noscapine and methyl iodide in acetonitrile at room temperature. The synthesized CILs have been characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, EI-MS, and polarimetry techniques. These CILs have been used as organocatalysts in the enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones to produce optically active secondary alcohols. The optically active secondary alcohols have been obtained with excellent yields and low to moderate enantiomeric excess (ee); also the complete enantiomeric excess (100% ee) has been achieved in some cases.     

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.     

Enantioselectivity in the synthesis of 3,5-disubstituted Δ-isoxazolines

The R-isomer of ISO-1, a 3,5-disubstituted Δ²-isoxazoline, has been implicated as a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of Type 1 Diabetes via the antagonism of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Δ²-Isoxazolines can be prepared by the palladium(II)-mediated cyclization of substituted β,γ-unsaturated oximes. While this reaction results in racemic mixtures, we have developed a stereoselective variant of this method based on the incorporation of an enantiomeric palladium complex in the reaction mixture. The use of chiral bisoxazoline ligands in the palladium(II)-mediated ring closure reaction has been shown to enhance the enantiomeric excess due to chirality at C5 of the Δ²-isoxazoline.     

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.     

Biocatalytic synthesis towards both antipodes of 3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanitrile a precursor to fluoxetine, atomoxetine and nisoxetine

The bakers’ yeast reduction of 3-oxo-3-phenylpropanenitrile (1) has been difficult to achieve due to a dominant alkylating mechanism. A library of 20 bakers’ yeast reductases, that are overexpressed in Escherichia coli, were screened against (1). Four enzymes were found to reduce this substrate and by varying the enzyme both enantiomers of 3-hydroxy-3-phenylpropanitrile (2) could be prepared with a high enantiomeric excess. In addition, the Escherichia coli whole-cell system can be optimized to nearly eliminate the competing alkylating mechanism. By using this system, a formal biocatalytic synthesis of both antipodes of fluoxetine, atomoxetine and nisoxetine has been demonstrated.     

Determination of enantiomeric purity in biogenic11C-labelled amino acids by aminoacylation of tRNA

In syntheses of naturally occurring amino acids labelled with short-lived radionuclides, such as¹¹C, the determination of the enantiomeric purity presents problems. The aminoacyl coupling of L-amino acids to tRNA followed by a separation with gel filtration of the tRNA-amino acid complex and free amino acid, was here shown to be an adequate method for determining the enantiomeric purity of [methyl-¹¹C]-methionine even in the pmol range. This method has also been used for the determination of the specific radioactivity of the¹¹C-labelled methionine. The method is probably valid for other naturally occurring amino acids and it might also be of interest for enantiomeric separations of L- and D-amino acids of high specific radioactivity.     

Synthesis and polymerization of racemic and optically active β-substituted β-propiolactones. II: β-monosubstituted and β-disubstituted monomers and polymers with different optical purities

β-(trichloromethyl)-β-propiolactone (CCl₃-PL), β-(trifluoromethyl,methyl)-β-propiolactone (CF₃, Me-PL) and β-(trifluoromethyl,ethyl)-β-propiolactone (CF₃,Et-PL) have been obtained by the reaction of ketene with chloral, 1,1,1-trifluoroacetone and 1,1,1-trifluorobutanone, respectively. Chiral catalysis lead to optically active monomers. The enantiomeric excess of the lactones has been measured by ¹H-NMR spectroscopy, in the presence of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(9-anthryl)ethanol or an europium chiral shift reagent. Polymerizations have been carried out in bulk or in toluene, at 60°C or 80°C, using mainly organometallic initiators. The Polymers become insoluble and crystalline at enantiomeric excesses over 80% for CCl₃-PL and 70% for CF₃,Me-PL. Melting temperatures were recorded from 238 to 268°C for poly(CCl₃-PL) and from 78 to 100°C for poly(CF₃,Me-PL), depending upon the molecular weight and the enantiomeric excess. The ¹³C-NMR specroscopy of poly(CCL₃-PL) indicates that the polymerization of the corresponding lactone leads to polymers of increasing degrees of isotacticity with the enantiomeric excess of the monomer.     

(4R,5R)-Bis(N,N-dimethylaminocarbonyl)-2-chloro-1,3,2-dioxaphospholane: A convenient reagent for control of enantiomeric composition of chiral alcohols by31P NMR spectroscopy

The use of enantiomerically pure cyclic chlorophosphite obtained by the reaction of PCl₃ withN,N,N′,N′-tetramethyldiamide of naturall-(+)-tartaric acid for analysis of the enantiomeric composition of chiral primary and secondary alcohols by³¹P NMR spectroscopy is considered.

Towards asymmetric Au-catalyzed hydroxy- and alkoxycyclization of 1,6-enynes

The efficiency of a Au(III)/chiral ligand system has been studied. The association of several chiral mono- and bidentate phosphanes with gold has been tested in the formal addition of an oxygen nucleophile to an alkene followed by a cyclization process, namely the hydroxycyclization reaction of 1,6-enynes. The use of (R)-4-MeO-3,5-(t-Bu)₂-MeOBIPHEP ligand led to clean cycloisomerizations and afforded the highest enantiomeric excesses. The enantiomeric excesses were highly dependant on the substrate/nucleophile combination. A ³¹P NMR study of the catalytic species tends to prove that Au(III) catalyst may be reduced to Au(I) intermediate in the presence of phosphanes.     

Determination of enantiomeric purity of 1-substituted 3-amino-1,2-dicarba-<Emphasis Type="Italic">closo</Emphasis>-dodecaboranes by HPLC on chiral stationary phases

A determination of enantiomeric purity of 1-substituted (Me, Ph, and Prⁱ) 3-amino-1,2dicarba-closo-dodecaboranes by HPLC on chiral Chiralcel OD-H and Chiralpac AD stationary phases involving preliminary phthaloylation of 3-aminocarboranes has been suggested as a general method.     

Synthesis of chiral isoquinuclidines and determination of their absolute configuration

A route to 1,2-dihydropyridines N¹-substituted with chiral auxiliaries has been developed starting from commercially available chiral amines. Cycloaddition between these dihydropyridines and methyl acrylate gave, in moderate d.e., isoquinuclidines of good enantiomeric purity whose absolute configuration has been established.     

Enantiomeric and Diastereomeric Relationships of Ethylene Derivatives. Restructuring Stereochemistry by a Group-Theoretical and Combinatorial Approach

To restructure stereochemistry into a systematic format, enantiomeric and diastereomeric relationships have been investigated by using ethylene derivatives as examples in the light of a new group-theoretical and combinatorial approach. On one hand, enantiomeric relationship for ethylene derivatives has been characterized by means of a point group of order 8 (D _2h ), where chirality fittingness based on the sphericity concept has been applied to the enumeration of stereoisomers. On the other hand, diastereomeric relationship for ethylene derivatives has been examined by a permutation group of order 8 (S ₉ ^[4]), which is a subgroup of the symmetric group of order 4 (S ^[4]) and isomorphic to a point group D _2d . The subgroups of S ₉ ^[4] have been classified into stereogenic and astereogenic ones. A stereogenic subgroup corresponds to a pair of diastereomers, while an astereogenic subgroup is assigned to a self-diastereomer. The relationship between diastereomers and constitutional isomers have been also discussed.     

H-quadrupolar coupling-based analysis of stereochemical and regiochemical memory in the Pd-catalysed allylic alkylation of iso-cinnamyl type substrates employing the chiral monophosphine ligands ‘MOP’ and ‘MAP’

The reaction of iso-cinnamyl acetate with NaC(Me)(CO₂Me)₂, catalysed by Pd-‘MOP’ (MOP=2-methoxy-2′-diphenylphosphino-1,1′-binaphthalene) is known to proceed with a regiochemical memory effect that results in the predominant generation of the branched alkylation product. The analogous reaction employing ‘MAP’ as ligand (MAP=2-N,N-dimethylamino-2′-diphenylphosphino-1,1′-binaphthalene) proceeds with ‘normal’ regioselectivity to generate predominantly the linear isomer of product. A ²H-NMR based analysis, employing quadrupolar coupling in a chiral liquid crystal matrix, has been developed to facilitate the simultaneous study of the regiochemical and stereochemical outcome of the reaction of both enantiomers of iso-cinnamyl ester substrates in ²H-labelled but racemic samples. The analysis allows the comparison of relative rates of two competing isomerisation processes occurring in the π-allyl intermediates in the Pd-catalysed reaction, one of which facilitates asymmetric induction, the other resulting in loss of regiochemical memory. It is demonstrated that the two processes are partially coupled and that this then limits the attainment of high global enantiomeric excess in the branched product to reactions that proceed with low regiochemical retention. A key factor for the observation of high regiochemical memory is found to be the nucleophilicity of the malonate anion and the electrophilicity of the Pd-π-allyl intermediate with reduction in the reactivity of either partner resulting in the onset of substantial loss of memory.     

Autoassembly of cage structures. 4. Stereochemistry of 2,5-di-tert-butyl-γ-butyrolactone-4-carboxy-s-(α)-phenylethylamide

The diastereoisomeric lactonamides (2a, b), obtained from the dilactone (1) and S-phenylethylamine, have been separated. X-ray crystallography shows that the high-melting isomer (2a) has theR-configuration at the chiral centers C² and C⁴, the enantiomeric conformation of the -lactone ring being of theS-type in thetwist form, intermediate between envelope ² E and semi-chair ₃ ² T. It is shown by molecular mechanics that the minimum steric energy of2a corresponds to a conformation of the heterocycle close to the envelope form₃E. Examination of van der Waals interactions shows that the calculated structure for2a is preferred. The reasons for the nonidentity of the forms of the -lactone ring of2a in the crystal and the free state are discussed. The crystal structure of2a is composed of two geometrically similar independent molecules associated along the axis by weak hydrogen bonds of two types, the energies of which have been estimated from the v_XH values, which are related by the expression v_XH=f(R_X...O), where X=N, O.For previous communication, see [1].N.
