A practical and efficient preparation of (−)-(4aS,5R)-4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-4a,5-dimethyl-2(3H)-naphthalenone: a key intermediate in the synthesis of (−)-dehydrofukinone

A novel diastereoselective route to octalone (−)-1 has been developed. The key step involves an asymmetric Michael addition of the corresponding chiral secondary enamines derived from (S)-(−)-1-phenylethylamine and (3R)-2,3-dimethylcyclohexanone to methyl vinyl ketone. This enone was successfully transformed into the eremophilane-type sesquiterpenoid (−)-dehydrofukinone.

Hydroacridines XXI [1]. 13C NMR Spectroscopic Investigation of the Stereoselectivities of Quaternizations of N-Alkyl Derivatives of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-Tetradecahydroacridine

Summary.  The stereoselectivities of the quaternization reactions of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-tetradecahydro-10-methylacridine with methyl- and ethyl iodide as well as those of (4aα,8aβ,9aβ,10aα)- and (4aα,8aα,9aβ,10aα)-10-ethyl-tetradecahydroacridine with methyl iodide were investigated using ¹³C NMR spectroscopy including ¹³C-labelling where appropriate. The methylations of both N-methyl amines occur by predominant (60% and 75%, respectively) equatorial approach, their ethylations occur sterospecifically by equatorial approach, and the methylations of the N-ethyl amines occur by highly stereoselective (> 90%) axial approach of the quaternizing reagent.

Phyllofenone A shows weak antifungal activity against Candida pseudotropicalis.     

A Synthesis of 2-(6′-Carboxy-2′-cis-Hexenyl)-4-Hydroxycyclopent-2-EN-1-ONE,a Prostagiandin Intermediate1

Several recent publications² report the synthesis of prostaglandin E₁ (PGE₁, 2) and some of its derivatives by conjugate addition reactions to ether-ester forms of hydroxycyclopentenone acid 1.³ The simplicity of this approach makes its application to the preparation of prostaglandins of the PG₂- and PG₃ - series (cis-Δ⁵)⁴ an attractive alternative to the existing elegant methods.⁵ We now wish to report a five-step synthesis of the requisite hydroxycyclopentenone precursor 3 from the readily available⁶ lactone 4.

新法合成dl-15-甲基前列腺素F_(2a)及其15(R,S)-15-甲醚

天然前列腺素的15-位羟基由于在体内迅速地被前列腺素15-羟基脱氢酶氧化成酮基而失去活性,后来发现若在15位引入甲基则可提高活性,并且作用时间延长. 合成15-甲基前列腺素F_(2a)可用前列腺素F_(2a)为原料经四步反应来完成,也可利用已具有15-酮基的中间体再引入甲基来达到目的.这两种方法均是从已具有前列腺素基本骨架的化合物I或II再引入15-甲基的.我们现在报导一种新的从环戊二烯经十步的合成方法,关键在于将15-位的甲基先引入于接在12位的八碳侧链之中,这样可以省去从前列腺素F_(2a)引进15-甲基的所有反应.

太阳能是最丰富的清洁和可再生能源,光催化技术在太阳能利用中具有很大潜力,这有赖于高效半导体光催化剂的设计制备.然而,单一光催化剂效率很低,主要是光生电子和空穴的强库伦吸引力导致它们快速复合.此外,单一光催化剂也很难同时具有宽光谱吸收和足够的氧化还原能力.为了解决这一问题,构建异质结光催化剂成为一种有效途径,因为它可以实现光生电子和空穴在空间上的有效分离.针对传统的II型和Z型异质结在动力学和热力学方面的缺陷, 2019年由武汉理工大学余家国教授团队提出梯形异质这一新型异质结概念.对于II型异质结,热力学和动力学分析表明光生载流子的转移机理不正确.热力学和动力学分析表明光生载流子的转移机理不正确.而Z型异质结系统主要包括传统、全固态和直接Z型异质结三种类型.对于前两种异质结,它们的界面电子转移存在理论问题.传统Z型异质结利用氧化还原电对,而电子受体和给体更容易从与其具有较大的电势差的半导体接受或给予电子.全固态Z型异质结利用导体,比如导电金属或碳材料,取代氧化还原电对,从而使其应用范围由液态扩展到固态.然而通过进一步分析,它的电荷传输也有漏洞.首先,界面的肖特基势垒抑制电荷持续传输,此外,全固态Z型异质结中的导体与传统Z型中氧化还原电对的作用如出一辙.因此,传统Z型的问题在这里也依旧存在.总的来说, II型、传统和全固态Z型都面临相同的问题,就是光生电子和空穴拥有较弱的还原和氧化能力,而S型异质结则与它们截然不同.该异质结由氧化型和还原型光催化剂组成,内建电场、能带弯曲和库仑力三大作用促使氧化型的光生电子与还原型的光生空穴复合,同时阻止氧化型的光生空穴与还原型的光生电子转移.最终,电子和空穴分别具有高的还原和氧化能力.由于其优越性, S型异质结在各种光催化应用中引起了广泛的兴趣,包括产氢、二氧化碳还原、污染物降解和灭菌等领域.而S型异质结机理可以用X射线光电子能谱、电子顺磁共振和原子力显微镜进行表征.S型异质结崭露头角,未来发展可期.     

Methyl,ethyl, isopropyl and tert-butyl 3-oxo-2-(triphenylphosphoranyl­idene)butyrates,a common pattern for a preferred conformation

The crystal structures of four alkyl 3-oxo-2-(tri­phenyl­phospho­ranyl­idene)­butyrates, where the alkyl group is methyl (C₂₃H₂₁O₃P·0.5C₆H₆), (II), ethyl (C₂₄H₂₃O₃P), (III), isopropyl (C₂₅H₂₅O₃P), (IV), or tert-butyl (C₂₆H₂₇O₃P), (V), show all of them to have the same conformation. They present a tetrahedral P atom and an sp² yl­idic C atom, with the carbonyl groups adopting anti conformations with respect to the keto groups located close to the P atom. P—C—C—O torsion angles, bond lengths and angles indicate an effective electronic delocalization toward the keto groups. In each case, one H atom of the alkoxy group is close to one of the phenyl rings. These preferred conformations are evaluated as the result of attractive and repulsive intramolecular interactions.     

A new type of intermediate, C+(BCH3)11- <--> C(BCH3)11, in a Grob fragmentation coupled with intramolecular hydride transfer. A nonclassical carbocation ylide or a carbenoid?

In solvolysis of alkyl halides Hal-(CH(2))(n)-C(BCH(3))(11)(-) (n = 2, 5, 6, but not 3, 4, or 7) and protonation of alkenes CH(2)=CH-(CH(2))(n)(-)(2)-C(BCH(3))(11)(-) (n = 3, 6, 7, but not 4 or 5) carrying the icosahedral electrofuge -C(BCH(3))(11)(-) attached through its cage carbon atom, generation of incipient positive charge on C(alpha) (as shown in Scheme 1 in the article) leads to simultaneous cleavage of the C(beta)-C(BCH(3))(11)(-) bond. The products are a C(alpha)=C(beta) alkene and a postulated intermediate C(+)(BCH(3))(11)(-) <--> C(BCH(3))(11), trapped as the adduct Nu-C(BCH(3))(11)(-) by one of the nucleophiles (Nu(-)) present. The reaction kinetics is E1, first order in the haloalkylcarborane and zero order in [Nu(-)], and the elimination appears to be concerted, as in the usual E2 mechanism. The process is best viewed as a Grob fragmentation. The loss of the longer chains involves intrachain hydride transfer from the C(alpha)-H bond to an incipient carbocation on C(delta)(') or C(epsilon)(') via a five- or six-membered cyclic transition state, respectively. The electronic structure of the postulated intermediate is believed to lie between those of a nonclassical carbonium ylide C(+)(BCH(3))(11)(-) and a carbenoid C(BCH(3))(11) whose electronic ground state resembles the S(2) state of ordinary carbenes.     

Synthesis and Characterization of a Trinuclear Zinc(Ⅱ) Complex with Schiff Base (1R,2R)-(-)-Diaminocyclohexane- N,N'-biscarboxyl-salicylidene)

A homochiral complex, Zn3(Hsalen)2(Py)4(H2O)2 (salen = (1R,2R)-(-)-diamino-cyclohexane-N,N'-biscarboxyl-salicylidene) 1, has been synthesized by solvothermal procedure and characterized by IR, microanalysis, TGA, powder and single-crystal X-ray crystallography. It crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2 with a = 10.9439(7), b = 10.1722(6), c = 27.3450(17), β = 97.5060(10)o, V = 3018.1(3) 3, Z = 2, Zn3(Hsalen)2(Py)4(H2O)2, Mr = 1363.33, Dc = 1.500 g/cm3, F(000) = 1408, μ = 1.257 mm-1, GOOF = 1.042, the final R = 0.0601 and wR = 0.1464 for 10322 observed reflections with I 2σ(I). The coordination polymer 1 possesses a 1D infinite zigzag chain architecture constructed by strong hydrogen bonding interactions and the polymeric chains are further assembled into a 2D supramolecular network structure via C-H···π interactions between the cyclohexane and aromatic rings of the ligand of adjacent chains. Simultaneously, π···π stacking interactions play an important role in forming the 2D supramolecular framework.     

a,a,a,b-ZnT(o-BocThr)APP对咪唑衍生物和氨基酸酯的分子识别研究

Molecular Recognition of α,α,α,β-ZnT（o-BocThr）APP （1） toward a series of imidazole derivatives and amino acid esters was investigated. Association constants were determined in chloroform by means of UV-Vis titration method. The association constants of 1 with imidazole derivatives are larger than those of 1 with amino acid esters. 1H NMR spectra were investigated to describe the binding mode of the recognition system, showing that all the protons of the guests were shifted to upfield. The circular dichroism spectra of 1-L-/D-ValOMe showed a split cotton effect in Soret region, while those of 1-L-/D-PheOMe showed no split cotton effect. Molecular modeling was performed to understand chiral recognition on a molecular level. Quantum chemical calculation was carried out based on the stable conformations of these recognition systems, which gave a reasonable explanation for the behavior of molecular recognition. The results indicated that the conformation of 1-D-ValOMe was more stable than that of 1-L-ValOMe.
