Strategy for the resolution of a chiral dearomatization agent:[TpRe(CO)(1-methylimidazole)] coordination of alpha-pinene (Tp = hydridotris(pyrazolyl)borate)

A methodology for resolving TpRe(CO)(1-methylimidazole)(eta(2)-benzene) has been developed utilizing (R)-alpha-pinene. Each enantiomer of the [TpRe(CO)(MeIm)] system can be obtained with the enantiomer ratio (er) = 97:3 by taking advantage of differing rates of pinene substitution for the two diastereomers of TpRe(CO)(MeIm)(eta(2)-(R)-alpha-pinene).

Resolving Agents. I. (R)-(-)-2-Amino-1-benzyloxybutane,a New Base for the Resolution of Racemic Acids

Treatment of the readily available (R)-(-)enantiomer of 2-aminobutan-1-ol 1 with sodium hydride followed by benzyl chloride afforded the O-benzyl base (R)-(-)-2. The latter was successfully used for the resolution of racemic α-methylsuccinic and α-bromosuccinic acids, as well as of the racemic α-benzylhemisuccinic esters 8 and 9 resectively.     

p1,n1 salts: Self-assembled supramolecular structures sequestering racemates. Diastereomeric separation and enantiomeric enrichment of trans-chrysanthemic acid

The occurrence of p1,n1 salts can be exploited to sequester racemates; an application to technical mixtures of chrysanthemic acids (ChA) allowed the separation of trans- and cis-ChA and the recovery of the excess enantiomer of trans-ChA.     

Microbiological transformations. 30. Enantioselective hydrolysis of racemic epoxides: the synthesis of enantiopure insect juvenile hormone analogs (bower''s compound)

The enantioselective epoxide biohydrolysis of the racemic benzodioxole 6,7-epoxygeraniol derivative 1 has been achieved using the fungus A. niger. This new type of preparative scale bioconversion allows the synthesis of both enantiomers of Bower's compound, an analogue of insect juvenile hormone. Biological tests showed that the 6(R) enantiomer was about ten times more active than the 6(S) enantiomer against the yellow meal worm Tenebrio molitor.     

Nitrone cycloadditions to 2,3-dihydro-1-phenyl-1H-phosphole 1-oxide. Double asymmetric induction and kinetic resolution by a chiral nitrone

The cycloadditions of nitrones with 2,3-dihydro-1-phenyl-1H-phosphole 1-oxide give a single cycloadduct deriving from a highly diastereoselective approach of the nitrone anti to the phenyl ring of phospholene oxide. When the chiral gliceraldehyde derived nitrone is used, only two diastereoisomers are produced in 1.7:1 ratio. The structural assignment based on NMR data and X-ray analysis of the major isomer established a trans C3–C4 stereochemistry (derived from endo TS with respect to nitrone) and a C3–C4′ relative stereochemistry of threo type in the major isomer and erythro in the minor one. Therefore, each enantiomer of phospholene oxide 6 gives exclusively one cycloadduct with five contiguous stereogenic centres in an established and predictable absolute configuration. The difference of reactivity of the two enantiomers allowed a partial kinetic resolution of the racemic phospholene oxide, affording (+)-(S) enantiomer with 90% enantiomeric excess.

Enantioselective separation of some polyunsaturated epoxy fatty acids by high-performance liquid chromatography on a cellulose phenylcarbamate (Chiralcel OC) stationary phase.

cis-Epoxides of linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, arachidonic acid and the omega 3-epoxide of eicosapentaenoic acid were chromatographed on a cellulose trisphenylcarbamate (Chiralcel OC) stationary phase in the normal-phase mode. The R,S and S,R enantiomers of methyl-14(15)epoxyeicosatrienoate, methyl-9(10)epoxyoctadecadienoate and methyl-9(10)epoxyoctadecenoate could be partly resolved. The R,S enantiomer of methyl-14(15)epoxyeicosatrienoate eluted before the S,R enantiomer. [14C]14(15)Epoxyeicosatrienoic acid was isolated from an incubation of [14C]20:4n-6 with microsomes of rabbit kidney cortex and the S,R enantiomer was found to predominate (about 2:1).     

Enantiodivergence in alkylation of 1-(6-methoxynaphth-2-yl)ethyl acetate by potassium dimethyl malonate catalyzed by chiral palladium-DUPHOS complex

Alkylation of racemic 1-(6-methoxynaphth-2-yl)ethyl acetate by potassium dimethyl malonate catalyzed by a chiral palladium-DUPHOS complex afforded the substitution product with 87% ee, along with 6-methoxy-2-vinylnaphthalene that arose from an elimination process, in a 43/57 substitution/elimination ratio. The reaction performed on a mixture of quasi-enantiomeric substrates provided insight into the stereochemical course of the reaction, establishing that—for a given enantiomer of the catalyst, one enantiomer of the substrate afforded mainly the substitution product whereas the other enantiomer underwent elimination.     

Mechanistic and synthetic aspects of hydroboration with a simple atropisomeric ligand prepared from 1-(1′-(isoquinolyl)-2-naphthol

A novel triarylphosphite ligand has been prepared directly from both enantiomers of BINOL and a single enantiomer of 1′-(isoquinolyl)-2-naphthol. In one of the two cases cationic Rh complex proved to be reasonably effective in the asymmetric hydroboration of electron-poor styrenes. It was possible to identify binuclear reactive intermediates when the hydroboration pre-catalyst was examined in the presence of catecholborane at low temperatures.     

Enzymatic resolution of bicyclic 1-heteroarylamines using Candida antarctica lipase B

Candida antarctica lipase B has been used to kinetically resolve a structurally diverse series of bicyclic 1-heteroaryl primary amines by enantioselective acetylation. High yields of either enantiomer could be obtained with excellent enantioselectivity (90-99% ee), while the undesired enantiomer could, in some cases, be recycled by thermal racemization. The absolute stereochemistry of the products was confirmed by an X-ray crystal structure.     

Chiral recognition of thiaheterohelicenes by alkyl beta-D-pyranoside micelles. Influence of extension of helix

Chiral recognition of alkyl beta-D-pyranoside micelles toward [7] and [5] heterohelicenes possessing helical structures was investigated by 1H-NMR and CD (circular dichroism) spectroscopy. In dodecyl maltopyranoside micellar solution, P and M enantiomers of tetrathia[7]heterohelicene (7TH), which have rigid and stable helixes, manifested different chemical shifts in their 1H-NMR spectra due to differences in the diastereomeric interactions, implying that the micelles undergo stronger recognition toward the M enantiomer than the P enantiomer. On the other hand, in octyl glucopyranoside micellar solution, trithia[5]heterohelicene (5TH) and two kinds of its derivatives which are rapidly equilibrated between the enantiomers in solution, gave no distinctly resolved 1H-NMR peaks for either enantiomer even at a lowered temperature. However, these racemic [5]heterohelicenes in the micelles did develop induced CD absorptions owing to a displacement of the equilibrium, suggesting from the signs of their Cotton effects that the micelles prefer the M enantiomer to its antipode in conformity with the 1H-NMR results of 7TH.     

On the absolute configuration of 1-cyclopropylethan-1-amine

We observed a discrepancy between the reported specific rotation for the enantiomers of 1-cyclopropylethan-1-amine and the values for commercial material. Analyses by VCD of the free amine, by NMR analysis of the derived (S)-O-methylmandelamides and an X-ray crystal structure of one of the mandelamides defined the specific rotation for each enantiomer.

The Lambda enantiomer is isolated as the tri-n-butylammonium salt, [(n)()Bu(3)NH][Lambda-1], which is soluble in pure CHCl(3) and CH(2)Cl(2). The Delta enantiomer is prepared as the cinchonidinium derivative, which is only soluble in polar solvent mixtures (>7.5% DMSO in CHCl(3)).     

Absolute configuration of anti-HIV-1 agent (-)-concentricolide: total synthesis of (+)-(R)-concentricolide

The first enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-(R)-concentricolide, the enantiomer of an anti-HIV-1 agent isolated from Daldinia concentrica, from 2-iodophenol in 7 steps reveals the (S)-configuration for the natural form of the furanophthalide. The key features include an anionic ortho-Fries rearrangement to furnish 3-iodosalicylamide, facile construction of the benzofuran system employing the tandem Sonogashira coupling annulation reaction, directed ortho metalation to introduce a propanoyl group, as well as CBS reduction, establishing the stereocenter enantioselectively.     

Stereospecificity and enantioselectivity in the binding of the platinum(II) complex [PtCl2(tmdz)] (tmdz = 5,5,7-trimethyl-1,4-diazacycloheptane) to dinucleotides and oligonucleotides

The two stereoisomers formed on reaction of each of the enantiomers of [PtCl2(tmdz)] with d(GpG) have been identified by using one- and two-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy. For both isomers formed with the R enantiomer the 3'-H8 shifts are downfield from those for the 5'-H8. For the S enantiomer the reverse is observed, showing that the bulky tmdz ligand determines the pattern of shifts. Models of these isomers generated by molecular mechanics show that the bulky tmdz ligand limits the rotation of the guanine bases and enforces right-handed (R2) canting for both isomers formed by the R enantiomer and left-handed (L1) canting for those formed by the S enantiomer. The pattern of H8 shifts is the opposite to that expected for these cantings; this suggests that other factors may play a role in determining these shifts. The interactions between the tmdz and d(GpG) ligands are also shown by molecular mechanics and the broadness of the H8 NMR signals to influence the tendency of the coordinated guanine bases to rotate about their Pt-N7 bonds. Reaction of each of the enantiomers with a 52 base-pair nucleotide, with a total of six GpG binding sites, resulted in the formation of only one of the stereoisomers in each case, the first reported case of complete stereoselectivity, or stereospecificity, in the reaction of Pt complexes with DNA. The observed stereoisomers were identified by comparison with the properties of the d(GpG) complexes. Molecular mechanics models of the adducts with duplex DNA show that the nonformation of one stereoisomer is consistent with the steric bulk of the tmdz ligand preventing closure from the monofunctional adduct to the bifunctional adduct. Enantioselectivity is also observed in that the R enantiomer forms more monofunctional adducts than bifunctional (59:41), whereas the S enantiomer forms more bifunctional adducts (27:73). The origins of this enantioselectivity must be at the level of monofunctional adduct formation and this has been investigated by molecular mechanics modelling.     

Synthesis of the chiral acyclonucleoside antiherpetic agent (S)-9-(2,3-dihydroxy-1-propoxymethyl)guanine

A new synthesis of the potential antiviral agent, (S)-9-(2,3-dihydroxy-1-propoxymethyl)guanine is described, starting from the readily available methyl 2,3,4-tri-$\text{O}$-benzyl-α-(=D)-glucopyranoside. The sequence utilizes the absolute configuration defined by carbons 4, 5 and 6 of the (=D)-glucose ring and provides a ready synthesis of the single enantiomer without recourse to many chromatographic separations.
