Cyclodextrin complexation of a stilbene and the self-assembly of a simple molecular device

(E)-4-tert-Butyl-4'-oxystilbene, 1(-), is thermally stable as the (E)-1(-) isomer but may be photoisomerized to the (Z)-1(-) isomer as shown by UV-vis and (1)H NMR studies in aqueous solution. When (E)-1(-) is complexed by alphaCD two inclusion isomers (includomers) form in which alphaCD assumes either of the two possible orientations about the axis of (E)-1(-) in alphaCD.(E)-1(-) for which (1)H NMR studies yield the parameters: k(1)(298 K)= 12.3 +/- 0.6 s(-1), DeltaH(1)(++)= 94.3 +/- 4.7 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS1(++)= 92.0 +/- 5.0 J K(-1) mol(-1), and k(2)(298 K)= 10.7 +/- 0.5 s(-1), DeltaH(2)(++)= 93.1 +/- 4.7 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS2(++)= 87.3 +/- 5.0 J K(-1) mol(-1) for the minor and major includomers, respectively. The betaCD.(E)-1(-) complex either forms a single includomer or its includomers interchange at the fast exchange limit of the (1)H NMR timescale. Complexation of 1(-) by N-(6(A)-deoxy- alpha-cyclodextrin-6(A)-yl)-N'-(6(A)-deoxy- beta-cyclodextrin-6(A)-yl)urea, results in the binary complexes 2.(E)-1(-) in which both CD component annuli are occupied by (E)-1(-) and which exists exclusively in darkness and 2.(Z)-1(-) in which only one CD component is occupied by (Z)-1(-) and exists exclusively in daylight at lambda > or = 300 nm. Irradiation of solutions of the binary complexes at 300 and 355 nm results in photostationary states dominated by 2.(E)-1(-) and 2.(Z)-1(-), respectively. In the presence of 4-methylbenzoate, 4(-), 2.(Z)-1(-) forms the ternary complex 2.(Z)-1(-).4(-) where 4(-) occupies the second CD annulus. Interconversion occurs between 2.(Z)-1(-).4(-) and 2.(E)-1(-)+4(-) under the same conditions as for the binary complexes alone. Similar interactions occur in the presence of 4-methylphenolate and 4-methylphenylsulfonate. The two isomers of each of these systems represent different states of a molecular device, as do the analogous binary complexes of N,N-bis(6(A)-deoxy- beta-cyclodextrin-6(A)-yl)urea, 3, [3.(E)-1(-) and 3.(Z)-1(-), where the latter also forms a ternary complex with 4(-).     

Synthesis and biological activities of optical isomers of 2-(4-diphenylmethyl-1-piperazinyl)ethyl methyl 1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-4-(3-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (manidipine) dihydrochloride

Enantiomeric (+)- and (-)-manidipine (1) dihydrochlorides were synthesized by the esterification of the optically active monocarboxylic acids (-)-6 and (+)-6, respectively. The absolute configurations, (S)-(+)-1 and (R)-(-)-1, were unambiguously determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis of (+)-7 derived from (-)-6. The (S)-(+)-1 was about 30 and 80 times as potent as the (R)-(-)-isomer in antihypertensive activity in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR), and in the radioligand binding assay using [3H]nitrendipine, respectively.     

The Williamson Reaction: A New and Efficient Method for the Alternate Resolution of 2,2'-Bis(bromomethyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl and 1,1'-Binaphthalene-2,2'-diol

Treatment of 2,2'-bis(bromomethyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl [(R,S)-2] with 1,1'-binaphthalene-2,2'-diol (+)-(R)-1 and cesium or potassium carbonate in refluxing acetone, gave the diastereoisomeric dioxacyclophanes (-)-(R,S)-3a and (+)-(R,R)-3b, both obtained in high yield, and the cyclic tetraether (+)-(R,R,R,S)-4 as isolated side product. Boron tribomide-promoted ether cleavage of 3a and 3b gave optically pure (-)-(S)-2 and (+)-(R)-2, respectively, and the recovered diol (+)-(R)-1. Alternatively, the same reaction sequence furnished the resolved diols (-)-(S)-1 and (+)-(R)-1 from (R,S)-1 and (+)-(R)-2, as well as optically pure 2,2'-bis(chloromethyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl (+)-(R)-5 from the racemic dibromide (R,S)-2 by using boron trichloride for ether cleavage.     

Bone collagen cross-links: a convergent synthesis of (+)-deoxypyrrololine.

A convergent total synthesis of (+)-deoxypyrrololine (Dpl, 4), a putative cross-link of bone collagen, is described starting from a commercially available L-glutamic acid derivative, (4S)-5-(tert-butoxy)-4-[(tert-butoxycarbonyl)amino]-5- oxopentanoic acid (16). Condensation of aldehyde (S)-(-)-17 with nitro compound (S)-(-)-27, both of which were prepared from a common precursor (S)-16, gave the alpha-hydroxynitro compound 28, which upon acetylation afforded alpha-acetoxynitro compound 14 in good yield. Subsequent condensation and cyclization of alpha-acetoxynitro compound 14 with benzyl isocyanoacetate (15) in the presence of DBU in THF gave the key pyrrole intermediate (S,S)-(-)-12 in 57% yield. N-Alkylation of pyrrole (S,S)-(-)-12 with iodide (S)-(-)-13 using t-BuOK in THF afforded the 2-benzyloxycarbonyl-1,3,4-substituted pyrrole derivative (-)-29 in 42% yield. Removal of the protective groups in (-)-29 followed by hydrogenolysis and decarboxylation afforded the cross-link (+)-Dpl (4) in good overall yield. The synthesis of an analogue (S)-(+)-24 and formation of a novel tetrahydroindole derivative (-)-31 are also described.

Syntheses and properties of enantiomerically pure higher (n > or = 7) [n-2]triangulanedimethanols and sigma-[n]helicenes

(P)-(+)-Hexaspiro[2.0.0.0. 0.0.2.1.1.1.1.1]pentadecane [(P)-17] as well as (M)-(-)- and (P)-(+)-octaspiro[2.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.2.1.1.1.1.1.1.1]nonadecanes [(M)- and (P)-25]-enantiomerically pure unbranched [7]- and [9]triangulanes-have been prepared starting from racemic THP-protected (methylenecyclopropyl)methanol 6. The relative configurations of all important intermediates as well as the absolute configurations of the key intermediates were established by X-ray crystal structure analyses. This new convergent approach to enantiomerically pure linear [n]triangulanes for n=7, 9 was also tested in two variants towards [15]triangulane. Some of the most prominent and unexpected features of the newly prepared compounds are the remarkable modes of self-assembly of the diols (P)-14, (E)-(3S,3'S,4S,4'S,5R,5'R)-21, (P)-(+)-22, and (E)-31 in the solid state through frameworks of intermolecular hydrogen bonds leading to, depending on the respective structure, nanotube- [(P)-14, (P)-(+)-22, and (E)-31], honeycomb-like structures [(E)-(3S,3'S,4S,4'S,5R,5'R)-21] or a supramolecular double helix [(P)-(+)- and (M)-(-)-22]. Liquid crystalline properties of the esters and ethers of the diols (P)-14, (P)-, and (M)-22 have also been tested. Although all of these [n]triangulanes have no chromophore which would lead to significant absorptions above 200 nm, they exhibit surprisingly high specific rotations even at 589 nm with [alpha](20)(D)=+672.9 (c=0.814 in CHCl(3)) for (P)-(+)-17, +909.9 (c=0.96 in CHCl(3)) for (P)-(+)-25, -890.5 (c=1.01 in CHCl(3)) for (M)-(-)-25, and -1302.5 (c=0.36 in CHCl(3)) for (M)-(-)-39, and the specific rotations increase drastically on going to shorter wavelengths. This outstanding rotatory power is in line with their rather rigid helical arrangement of sigma bonds, and accordingly these helically shaped unbranched [n]triangulanes may be termed "sigma-[n]helicenes", as they represent the sigma-bond analogues of the aromatic pi-[n]helicenes. Density functional theory (DFT) computations at the B3 LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory for the geometry optimization and time-dependent DFT for determining optical rotations with a triplet-zeta basis set (B3 LYP/TZVP) reproduce the optical rotatory dispersions (ORD) very well for the lower members (n=4, 5) of the sigma-[n]helicenes. For the higher ones (n=7, 9, 15) the computed specific rotations turn out increasingly larger than the experimental values. The remarkable increase of the specific rotation with an increasing number of three-membered rings is proportional neither to the molecular weight nor to the number of cyclopropane rings in these sigma-[n]helicenes.     

HPLC determination of andrographolide in rat whole blood: study on the pharmacokinetics of andrographolide incorporated in liposomes and tablets

A sensitive and simple high-performance liquid chromatographic method with UV detection was developed and validated for the determination of andrographolide in rat whole blood. Carbamazepine was employed as internal standard and the blood sample was extracted with chloroform. Chromatographic separations were achieved on a Chromasil ODS column (250 x 4.6 mm, 5 microm). The mobile phase was consisted of methanol-water (52:48, v/v) and delivered at 0.8 mL/min. The detection wavelength was set at 225 nm. The calibration curve had a good linearity in the range 0.053-530 microg/mL in rat whole blood with its correlation coefficient being 0.996. The extraction recovery of andrographolide was ranged from 65.7 to 72.6%. The intra-day and inter-days repeatabilities were below 4.2% in terms of the percentage of relative standard deviation (RSD). The method was used to provide data on the pharmacokinetics of the drug in rats. The data obtained was processed using the 3P87 pharmacokinetic program. The results showed that the disposition of andrographolide after intravenous administration of liposomal andrographolide conformed to a two-compartment open model with alpha = 4.75 x 10(-2) +/- 2.41 x 10(-3) min(-1), beta = 3.16 x 10(-3) +/- 1.58 x 10(-4) min(-1), V(c) = 174.67 +/- 13.97 mL, k(21) = 1.60 x 10(-2) +/- 8.12 x 10(-4) min(-1), k(10) = 9.38 x 10(-3) +/- 5.62 x 10(-4) min(-1), k(12) = 2.53 x 10(-2) +/- 1.27 x 10(-3) min(-1) and AUC(0-infinity) = 1525.47 +/- 92.35 microg min/mL. For the intragastric administration of andrographolide tablets, the disposition of andrographolide followed a one-compartment open model with k(e) = 6.78 x 10(-3) +/- 3.53 x 10(-4) min(-1), k(a) = 3.69 x 10(-2) +/- 4.68 x 10(-3) min(-1), T(max) = 59.69 +/- 3.61 min, C(max) = 1.62 +/- 0.11 microg/mL, V(c) = 1056.90 +/- 83.42 mL, AUC(0-infinity) = 348.75 +/- 24.41 microg min/mL.     

Energetics of hydroxybenzoic acids and of the corresponding carboxyphenoxyl radicals. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding in 2-hydroxybenzoic acid

The energetics of the phenolic O-H bond in the three hydroxybenzoic acid isomers and of the intramolecular hydrogen O-H- - -O-C bond in 2-hydroxybenzoic acid, 2-OHBA, were investigated by using a combination of experimental and theoretical methods. The standard molar enthalpies of formation of monoclinic 3- and 4-hydroxybenzoic acids, at 298.15 K, were determined as Delta(f)(3-OHBA, cr) = -593.9 +/- 2.0 kJ x mol(-1) and Delta(f)(4-OHBA, cr) = -597.2 +/- 1.4 kJ x mol(-1), by combustion calorimetry. Calvet drop-sublimation calorimetric measurements on monoclinic samples of 2-, 3-, and 4-OHBA, led to the following enthalpy of sublimation values at 298.15 K: Delta(sub)(2-OHBA) = 94.4 +/- 0.4 kJ x mol(-1), Delta(sub)(3-OHBA) = 118.3 +/- 1.1 kJ x mol(-1), and Delta(sub)(4-OHBA) = 117.0 +/- 0.5 kJ x mol(-1). From the obtained Delta(f)(cr) and Delta(sub) values and the previously reported enthalpy of formation of monoclinic 2-OHBA (-591.7 +/- 1.3 kJ x mol(-1)), it was possible to derive Delta(f)(2-OHBA, g) = -497.3 +/- 1.4 kJ x mol(-1), Delta(f)(3-OHBA, g) = -475.6 +/- 2.3 kJ x mol(-1), and Delta(f)(4-OHBA, cr) = -480.2 +/- 1.5 kJ x mol(-1). These values, together with the enthalpies of isodesmic and isogyric gas-phase reactions predicted by density functional theory (B3PW91/aug-cc-pVDZ, MPW1PW91/aug-cc-pVDZ, and MPW1PW91/aug-cc-pVTZ) and the CBS-QMPW1 methods, were used to derive the enthalpies of formation of the gaseous 2-, 3-, and 4-carboxyphenoxyl radicals as (2-HOOCC(6)H(4)O(*), g) = -322.5 +/- 3.0 kJ.mol(-1) Delta(f)(3-HOOCC(6)H(4)O(*), g) = -310.0 +/- 3.0 kJ x mol(-1), and Delta(f)(4-HOOCC(6)H(4)O(*), g) = -318.2 +/- 3.0 kJ x mol(-1). The O-H bond dissociation enthalpies in 2-OHBA, 3-OHBA, and 4-OHBA were 392.8 +/- 3.3, 383.6 +/- 3.8, and 380.0 +/- 3.4 kJ x mol(-1), respectively. Finally, by using the ortho-para method, it was found that the H- - -O intramolecular hydrogen bond in the 2-carboxyphenoxyl radical is 25.7 kJ x mol(-1), which is ca. 6-9 kJ x mol(-1) above the one estimated in its parent (2-OHBA), viz. 20.2 kJ x mol(-1) (theoretical) or 17.1 +/- 2.1 kJ x mol(-1) (experimental).     

Simultaneous determination of Cl(-), Br(-), I(-) and F(-) with flow-injection/ion-selective electrode systems

Flow-through ion-selective electrodes were constructed from compressed pellets (8-10 mm thick, 13 mm diameter, 10 tons/cm(2) pressure) of Ag(2)S/AgX (X = Cl(-), Br(-) or I(-)) drilled longitudinally (1.5 mm diameter hole) to be suitable for use in flow-injection analysis. A column of AgCl (5.5 cm long, 2-3 mm i.d.) was included in the Cl(-)-electrode manifold to remove interferences from 10(-4)M Br(-) and 3 x 10(-5)M I(-) and S(2-). A column of amalgamated lead (2-3 cm long, 2-3 mm i.d.) was used in the Br(-) electrode manifold to remove interference from 2 x 10(-5)M I(-), 3 x 10(-5)M S(2-) and 7 x 10(-4)M Cl(-). These columns and the addition of ascorbic acid were not required when I(-) was determined with the iodide electrode. The carrier stream was 0.1M sodium perchlorate (pH 4) at a flow-rate of 0.5 ml/min. The sample pH could be 4-7. Simultaneous determination of Cl(-) and I(-), Cl(-), I(-) and Br(-) and Cl(-), I(-), Br(-) and F(-) ions was possible with combinations of the corresponding electrodes and columns in series and/or parallel in specially designed manifolds. Calibration plots were linear, with almost theoretical slopes, down to 10(-6)M I(-), 5 x 10(-6)M Br(-), 10(-4)M Cl(-) and 5 x 10(-6)M F(-), with precision better than 1%. Sampling rates for single-ion determinations were 72, 102, 90 and 80 per hr for the one-, two-, three- and four-electrode systems respectively. Determinations of these ions in water samples by the recommended procedure and by established batch methods showed no significant difference at the 95% confidence limits in a paired comparison t-test.     

Thermodynamic and ab initio analysis of the controversial enthalpy of formation of formaldehyde.

There are two values, -26.0 and -27.7 kcal mol(-1), that are routinely reported in literature evaluations for the standard enthalpy of formation, Delta(f) H(o)(298), of formaldehyde (CH(2)=O), where error limits are less than the difference in values. In this study, we summarize the reported literature for formaldehyde enthalpy values based on evaluated measurements and on computational studies. Using experimental reaction enthalpies for a series of reactions involving formaldehyde, in conjunction with known enthalpies of formation, its enthalpy is determined to be -26.05+/-0.42 kcal mol(-1), which we believe is the most accurate enthalpy currently available. For the same reaction series, the reaction enthalpies are evaluated using six computational methods: CBS-Q, CBS-Q//B3, CBS-APNO, G2, G3, and G3B3 yield Delta(f) H(o)(298)=-25.90+/-1.17 kcal mol(-1), which is in good agreement to our experimentally derived result. Furthermore, the computational chemistry methods G3, G3MP2B3, CCSD/6-311+G(2df,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d), CCSD(T)/6-311+G(2df,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d), and CBS-APNO in conjunction with isodesmic and homodesmic reactions are used to determine Delta(f) H(o)(298). Results from a series of five work reactions at the higher levels of calculation are -26.30+/-0.39 kcal mol(-1) with G3, -26.45+/-0.38 kcal mol(-1) with G3MP2B3, -26.09+/-0.37 kcal mol(-1) with CBS-APNO, -26.19+/-0.48 kcal mol(-1) with CCSD, and -26.16+/-0.58 kcal mol(-1) with CCSD(T). Results from heat of atomization calculations using seven accurate ab initio methods yields an enthalpy value of -26.82+/-0.99 kcal mol(-1). The results using isodesmic reactions are found to give enthalpies more accurate than both other computational approaches and are of similar accuracy to atomization enthalpy calculations derived from computationally intensive W1 and CBS-APNO methods. Overall, our most accurate calculations provide an enthalpy of formation in the range of -26.2 to -26.7 kcal mol(-1), which is within computational error of the suggested experimental value. The relative merits of each of the three computational methods are discussed and depend upon the accuracy of experimental enthalpies of formation required in the calculations and the importance of systematic computational errors in the work reaction. Our results also calculate Delta(f) H(o)(298) for the formyl anion (HCO(-)) as 1.28+/-0.43 kcal mol(-1).     

Chiral amines as reagents for HPLC-MS enantioseparation of chiral carboxylic acids

Mass spectrometry (MS) has become a popular analytical technique because of its high sensitivity and specificity. Therefore, the use of a chiral derivatization reagent for the MS detection seems to be efficient for the enantiomeric separation of racemates. However, the number of chiral reagents for the liquid chromatography (LC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis is very limited. The applicability of commercially available chiral amines as the derivatization reagents for the enantiomeric separation of chiral carboxylic acids is reported in this paper by using non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), i.e. ibuprofen, flurbiprofen, and loxoprofen. The efficiency of the chiral reagents was evaluated in terms of tagging easiness, separation by reversed-phase chromatography, and detection sensitivity by electrospray ionization (ESI)-MS/MS. Among the tested eight chiral amines, i.e. (R)-(+)-4-(3-aminopyrrolidin-1-yl)-7-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-APy), (S)-(+)-1-(2-pyrrolidinylmethyl)-pyrrolidine (PMP), L-prolinamide, (3R)-(-)-1-benzyl-3-aminopyrrolidine, (S)-(+)-1-cyclohexyl-ethylamine, (3R)-(+)-3-(trifluoroacetamido)-pyrrolidine (TFAP), (R)-(-)-1-aminoindan (AI), and (S)-(+)-tetrahydrofurfuryl-amine, DBD-APy, PMP, AI, and TFAP could be used as the chiral reagents for the enantiomeric separation of the NSAIDs. The Rs values and the detection limits of the derivatives were in the range of 1.29-3.85 and 0.57-0.96 fmol, respectively. These four reagents were applied for the determination of the NSAIDs in rat plasma.     

Investigations on the question of multiple mechanisms in the cope rearrangement

The possible occurrence of the ionic Cope rearrangement, and other non-concerted mechanisms is discussed. The synthesis of 2 - (1 - ethyl - 1 - propenyl) -2- (3 - p - methoxyphenylallyl)malononitrile (1b) and its clean thermal 1,3 rearrangement to (1 - ethyl - 5 - p - methoxyphenyl - 2 - methyl - 4 - pentenylidene)malononitrile (4) are reported. This result contrasts with the rearrangement of 2 - (1,1 - dideuterioallyl) - 2 -(1 - ethyl - 1 - propenyl)malononitrile (1c) which isomerizes cleanly in a 3,3 rearrangement. Rearrangement of 2 - (1 - cyclohexenyl) - 2 - (3 - p - methoxyphenylallyl)malononitrile (11), however, leads sluggishly to [2 - (p - methoxy - α - vinylbenzyl)cyclohexylidene]malononitrile (19) (3,3 shift) and rearrangement of 2 - (1 - isopropyl - 2 - methyl - 1 - propenyl) - 2 -(3 - p - methoxyphenylallyl)malononitrile (12) leads, also slowly, to (1 - isopropyl - 5-p- methoxyphenyl - 2,2 - dimethyl - 4 - pentenylidene)malononitrile (14) (1,3 shift). Rearrangement of 1b in the presence of sodium borohydride allows interception of the proposed ionic intermediates and isolation of 2 - (1 - ethylpropylidene)malononitrile (5) and anethole (21c). Ion trapping experiments also gave positive results in the 3,3 rearrangement of 11. These results are discussed in terms of the ionic Cope rearrangement.

β-三氯锗基丙酸及β-三苯锗基丙酸与苯基溴化镁的反应

三氯锗基丙酸(1a)和三苯锗基丙酸(2a)与过量苯基溴化镁起反应时,这两个分子中的羧基表现出一些奇特性质。当1a和2a与不同浓度的苯基溴化镁起反应时,都能生成相应的酮(3a)和醇(4a)。在稀盐酸作用下,4a极易脱水生成1,1-二苯基-3-三苯锗基丙烯-1(5a)。当1a与苯基溴化镁起反应,然后再用稀盐酸处理也同样得到5a。5a的Ge-C键能被LiAlH~4高选择性地切断,生成三苯基锗烷(6a)和1,1-二苯基丙烯(6b)。     

Synthesis,optical, and spectroscopic characterisation of substituted 3-phenyl-2-arylacrylonitriles

The Knoevenagel condensation between aldehydes and substrates with active methylene groups was applied to synthesise a series of 3-(4-substituted phenyl)-2-arylacrylonitriles (aryl = phenyl or pyridyl). Chloro-, fluoro-, or dimethylamino-substituted aryls and a cyano group attached to the double bond of acrylonitrile were studied. Previous studies showed that the condensation products were E isomers. The compounds synthesised were: 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-fluorophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-phenylacrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-2-yl)acrylonitrile, 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-3-yl)acrylonitrile, and 3-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)-2-(pyridin-4-yl)acrylonitrile. Structures were confirmed by IR, MS, and NMR spectral data. Molar absorption coefficient, absorbance, and fluorescence emission spectra were compared in order to evaluate the effects of substituents on phenyl and the position of nitrogen in pyridine moiety on the electronic properties of acrylonitrile derivatives prepared.     

The first enantiomerically pure [n]triangulanes and analogues: sigma-[n]helicenes with remarkable features

(M)-(-)- and (P)-(+)-Trispiro[2.0.0.2.1.1]nonanes [(M)- and (P)-3] as well as (M)-(-)- and (P)-(+)-tetraspiro[2.0.0.0.2.1.1.1]undecanes [(M)- and (P)-4]-enantiomerically pure unbranched [4]- and [5]triangulanes-have been prepared starting from racemic bicyclopropylidenecarboxylic [(1RS)-12] and exo-dispiro[2.0.2.1]heptane-1-carboxylic [(1RS,3SR)-13] acids. The optical resolutions of rac-12 and rac-13 furnished enantiomerically pure acids (S)-(+)-12, (R)-(-)-12, (1R,3S)-(-)-13, and (1S,3R)-(+)-13. The ethyl ester (R)-25 of the acid (R)-(-)-12 was cyclopropanated to give carboxylates (1R,3R)-26 and (1R,3S)-26. The ester (1R,3S)-26 and acids (1R,3S)-13 and (1S,3R)-13 were converted into enantiomerically pure methylene[3]triangulanes (S)-(-)- and (R)-(+)-28. An alternative approach consisted of an enzymatic deracemization of endo-[(1SR,3SR)-dispiro[2.0.2.1]heptyl]methanol (rac-20) or anti-[(1SR,3RS)-4-methylenespiropentyl]methanol (rac-18). This afforded (S)-(-)- and (R)-(+)-28 (starting from rac-20), as well as enantiomerically pure (M)-(-)- and (P)-(+)-1,4-dimethylenespiropentanes [(M)- and (P)-23] starting from rac-18. The methylenetriangulanes (S)-(-)- and (R)-(+)-28 were cyclopropanated furnishing (M)- and (P)-3. The rhodium-catalyzed cycloaddition of ethyl diazoacetate onto (S)-(-)- and (R)-(+)-28 yielded four diastereomeric ethyl trispiro[2.0.0.2.1.1]nonane-1-carboxylates in approximately equal proportions. The enantiomerically pure esters (1R,3S,4S)- and (1S,3R,4R)-30 were isolated by careful distillation and then transformed into [5]triangulanes (M)- and (P)-4 using the same sequence of reactions as applied for (M)- and (P)-3. The structures of the key intermediates (R)-12 and rac-31 were confirmed by X-ray analyses. Although [4]- and [5]triangulanes have no chromophore which would lead to any significant absorption above 200 nm, they have remarkably high specific rotations even at 589 nm with [alpha](20)D=-192.7 [(M)-3, c=1.18, CHCl(3))] or +373.0 [(P)-4, c=1.18, CHCl(3))]. This remarkable optical rotatation is in line with their helical arrangement of sigma bonds, as confirmed by a full valence space single excitation configuration interaction treatment (SCI) in conjunction with DFT computations at the B3LYP/TZVP//B3LYP/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory which reproduce the ORD very well. Thus, it is appropriate to call the helically shaped unbranched [n]triangulanes the "sigma-[n]helicenes", representing the sigma-bond analogues of the aromatic [n]helicenes.     

Photochemistry of peroxoborates: borate inhibition of the photodecomposition of hydrogen peroxide

The UV absorbance and photochemical decomposition kinetics of hydrogen peroxide in borate/boric acid buffers were investigated as a function of pH, total peroxide concentration, and total boron concentration. At higher pH borate/boric acid inhibits the photodecomposition of hydrogen peroxide (molar absorptivity and quantum yield of H(2)O(2) and HO(2) (-), (19.0+/-0.3) M(-1) cm(-1) and 1, and (237+/-7) M(-1) cm(-1) and 0.8+/-0.1, respectively). The results are consistent with the equilibrium formation of the anions monoperoxoborate, K(BOOH)=[H(+)][HOOB(OH)(3) (-)]/([B(OH)(3)][H(2)O(2)]), 2.0 x 10(-8), R. Pizer, C. Tihal, Inorg. Chem. 1987, 26, 3639-3642, and monoperoxodiborate, K(BOOB)=[BOOB(2-)]/([B(OH)(4) (-)][HOOB(OH)(3) (-)]), 1.0+/-0.3 or 4.3+/-0.9, depending upon the conditions, with molar absorptivity, (19+/-1) M(-1) cm(-1) and (86+/-15) M(-1) cm(-1), respectively, and respective quantum yields, 1.1+/-0.1 and 0.04+/-0.04. The low quantum yield of monoperoxodiborate is discussed in terms of the slower diffusion apart of incipient (.)OB(OH)(3) (-) radicals than may be possible for (.)OH radicals, or a possible oxygen-bridged cyclic structure of the monoperoxodiborate.
