Stereoselective synthesis of optically active disilanes and selective functionalization by the cleavage of silicon-naphthyl bonds with bromine

Optically active disilanes with one chiral silicon center, (R)-1,2-dimethyl-1-(naphth-1-yl)-1,2,2-triphenyldisilane and (R)-1,2,2-trimethyl-2-(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)-1-(naphth-1-yl)-1-phenyldisilane, were obtained by the reaction of (S)-methyl(naphth-1-yl)phenylchlorosilane (> 99% ee) with methyldiphenylsilyllithium or by the reaction of methyldiphenylchlorosilane with optically active (S)-methyl(naphth-1-yl)phenylsilyllithium and by the reaction of (S)-methyl(naphth-1-yl)phenylchlorosilane (> 99% ee) with dimethyl(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)silyllithium. Under the optimized conditions, the reactions proceeded with almost complete inversion for the cholorosilanes and retention for the silyl anions. Optically active disilanes with two chiral centers, (1R,2R)-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-di(naphth-1-yl)-1,2-diphenyldisilane and (1S,2S)-1,2-di(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-diphenyldisilane, were obtained in high optical purity by the reactions of corresponding optically active halogenosilanes (Cl or F) with optically active silyllithiums. The silicon-silicon bond and the silicon-naphthyl bond of (R)-1,1,2-trimethyl-1,2-di(naphth-1-yl)-2-phenyldisilane and (1R,2R)-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-di(naphth-1-yl)-1,2-diphenyldisilane were cleaved without selectivity on bromination. The silicon-(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl) bond of (R)-1,2,2-trimethyl-2-(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)-1-(naphth-1-yl)-1-phenyldisilane was regiospecifically cleaved, followed by the stereoselective cleavage of the remaining chiral silicon-naphthyl bond (94% inversion). Although the silicon-(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl) bonds of (1S,2S)-1,2-di(4-methoxynaphth-1-yl)-1,2-dimethyl-1,2-diphenyldisilane (> 99% ee) were regioselectively cleaved without silicon-silicon bond scission, remarkable racemization could not be avoided during the one-pot reaction.     

Ligand controlled cobalt catalyzed regiodivergent 1,2-hydroboration of 1,3-dienes

Regiodivergent 1,2-hydroboration of 1,3-dienes with pinacolborane has been accomplished by well-defined cobalt complexes of different bidentate ligands. The iminopyridine-cobalt system is selective for Markovnikov 1,2-hydroboration to form allylboronates, while the FOXAP-cobalt(FOXAP=(S)-1-(diphenylphosphino)-2-[(S)-4-isopropyloxazolin-2-yl]ferrocene) catalyst effects the complementary anti-Markonikv 1,2-hydroboration to afford homoallyboronates with high regioselectivity.     

Diastereo- and enantioselective reduction of α,β-diketodithiane with the baker's yeast

The Baker's yeast reduction of 1-(1,3-dithian-2-yl)-1,2-propanedione gave highly enantio-and diastereoselectively (S)-(+)-(1-1,3-dithian-2-yl)-2-hydroxy-1-propanone or (1S,23-(+)-(1)-(1,3-dithian-2-yl-1,2-propanediol, depending on the reaction time. The hydroxy ketone was reduced with diisobutylaluminum hydride to give (1R,2S)-1-(1,3-dithian-2-yl)-1,2-propanediol with high diastereoselectivity. The former (1S,2S)-diol was converted into L-digitoxose.     

Stereoselective preparation of (E)-(1,2-difluoro-1,2-ethenediyl) bis[tributylstannane] and stereospecific synthesis of (E)-1,2-difluorostilbenes

[reaction: see text]. The novel bisstannane (E)-(1,2-difluoro-1,2-ethenediyl) bis[tributylstannane] 2 was stereoselectively prepared in a high overall yield through a sequential synthetic route from chlorotrifluoroethylene 1. The synthetic application of this novel bisstannane 2 was exemplified in the Pd(PPh3)4/CuI-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with aryl iodides, yielding (E)-1,2-difluorostilbenes 3 in moderate to high yields.     

Asymmetric hydrogenation of alpha-hydroxy ketones catalyzed by MsDPEN-Cp*Ir(III) complex

Asymmetric hydrogenation of a series of alpha-hydroxy aromatic ketones in methanol catalyzed by Cp*Ir(OTf)(MsDPEN) (MsDPEN = N-(methanesulfonyl)-1,2-diphenylethylenediamine) affords the 1-aryl-1,2-ethanediols in up to 99% ee. The reaction can be conducted with a substrate-to-catalyst molar ratio as high as 6000 under 10 atm of H2. 1-hydroxy-2-propanone is also hydrogenated with high enantioselectivity.

Palladacycle mediated synthesis of cyano-functionalized chiral 1,2-diphosphine and subsequent functional group transformations

Cyano-functionalized allylic phosphine substrates containing the ortho-metalated (R)-(1-(dimethylamino)ethyl)naphthalene as the chiral auxiliary were synthesized from bromoacetaldehyde dimethylacetal via a one-pot process. The diastereoselective hydrophosphination reactions of the cis- and trans-allylic phosphine substrates gave the cyano-functionalized chiral 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane products with high yield and stereoselectivity. The subsequent organic transformation reactions of the cyano-substituted products chemoselectively afforded the formyl- and hydroxyl-functionalized chiral 1,2-diphosphine complexes with retention of stereochemistry. The coordination properties and absolute configurations of the novel 1,2-diphosphine complexes were established by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The optically pure 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane ligands with cyano-, formyl- and hydroxyl-functionalities could be liberated in high yields from the corresponding dihalo palladium complexes by treatment with aqueous potassium cyanide.     

The control of the nitrogen inversion in alkyl-substituted diaziridines

For the first time the nitrogen inversion barriers in 3,3-unsubstituted trans-diaziridines, such as 1,2-di-tert-butyldiaziridine (1) and 1,2-di-n-butyldiaziridine (2) were determined. Enantioselective stopped-flow multidimensional gas chromatography was used to investigate the enantiomerization barrier of 1 between 126.2 and 171.0 degrees C (DeltaG ++ gas (150.7 degrees C) = 135.8+/-0.2 kJ mol(-1), DeltaH++ gas = 116.1+/-2.5 kJ mol(-1), DeltaS ++ gas == -46+/-2 J K(-1) mol(-1)). The separation of the enantiomers has been achieved in presence of the chiral stationary phase (CSP) Chirasil-beta-Dex with a high separation factor (alpha = 1.44 at 80 degrees C). In a complementary approach, the enantiomerization barriers of 1,2-di-tert-butyldiaziridine (1), 1,2-di-n-butyldiaziridine (2), 1-n-butyl-3,3-dimethyldiaziridine (3), and 1,2,3,3-tetramethyldiaziridine (4) were determined for comparison by enantioselective dynamic chromatography (DGC) and computer simulation of the dynamic elution profiles. The enantiomerization barrier of 2 was shown to be the highest among the nonsterically hindered diaziridines studied so far, whereas 1 exhibited the highest value found for strained nitrogen-containing rings, that is, aziridines, diaziridines and oxaziridines.     

Direct and facile synthesis of carbon substituted alkylhydroxy derivatives of cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide), versatile building blocks for synthetic purposes

Reactions of lithiated cobalt bis(1,2-dicarbollide)(1(-)) anion (1(-)) in presence of paraformaldehyde, ethylene oxide or trimethylene oxide led to the substitution of 1(-) at the C-atoms resulting in the high yield formation of monosubstituted alkylhydroxy derivatives [(1-HO(CH(2))(n)-1,2-C(2)B(9)H(10))(1',2'-C(2)B(9)H(11))-3,3'-Co(III)](-) (n = 1-3) isolated as caesium salts (Cs2, Cs3, Cs4) along with disubstituted products of general formulation [(HO(CH(2))(n)-1,2-C(2)B(9)H(10))(2)-3,3'-Co(III)](-) (n = 1-3) (Cs5, Cs6 and Cs7). Disubstituted compounds are in fact a mixture of diastereoisomers denoted as 1,1'-anti(rac-), 1,2'-syn- and in case of Cs6 and Cs7 also 1,2-vicinal-isomer, from which only the anti-isomer could be isolated in pure form in case of shorter chain compounds Cs5 and Cs6. All these alkylhydroxy derivatives can serve as versatile precursors for the generation of a variety of functional molecules. Thus, reaction of Me(3)NH4 with NaH and one equivalent of POCl(3) provided after hydrolysis the phosphorylated [(1-(HO)(2)P(O)OC(3)H(6)-1,2-C(2)B(9)H(10))(1',2'-C(2)B(9)H(11))-3,3'-Co(III)](-) derivative, isolated in the form of trimethylammonium salt, Me(3)NH8 as the main product whereas reaction with half of the equivalent produces a high yield of phosphoric acid diester (Me(3)NH)(2)9 comprising in its structure two cages connected via propyl spacers to the central part. The calcium salt Ca(10)(2) of bridged ion [μ-(HOP(O)(OC(3)H(6))(2))-(1,2-C(2)B(9)H(10))(2)-3,3'-Co(III)](-) resulted from reaction of Me(3)NH7 with NaH and one equivalent of POCl(3) followed by hydrolysis and addition of CaCl(2). All new compounds were characterized by multinuclear NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry and the structure of Me(3)NH3 and that of the respective salts of the pure anti-stereoisomer of dialkylhydroxy derivatives Cs5 and Me(3)NH6 were established by X-ray crystallography.     

A highly enantioselective and diastereoselective synthesis of cyclobutanes via boronic esters

[formula: see text] Deprotonation of enantiopure (R,R)-1,2-dicyclohexyl-1,2-ethanediol 1-chloro-4-cyanobutylboronates 5 with LDA followed by treatment with anhydrous magnesium bromide yields (R)-(trans-2-cyanocyclobutyl)boronic esters 7 in high diastereomeric and enantiomeric purity. No cyclobutane formation has been observed in the absence of at least a catalytic amount of magnesium halide.     

Heteroatomic derivatives of aziridine. 14. Reactions of 1-(carbomethoxyethyl)-, 1-[1,2-bis(carbethoxy)ethyl]-, and 1-[1,2-bis(carbomethoxy)vinyl]aziridine with thiols, 1,2-ethanedithiol,and thiolcarboxylic acids

The reactions of 1-(carbomethoxyethyl)-, 1-[1,2-bis(carbethoxy)-ethyl]-, and 1-[1,2-bis(carbomethoxy)vinyl]aziridine with thiols and thiolcarboxylic acids produce the corresponding sulfides and esters of S-substituted N-(2-mercaptoethyl) amino acids. The reaction of 1-[1,2-bis(carbethoxy)ethyl]aziridine with 1,2-ethane-dithiol results in the formation of {1,8-bis[1,2-bis(carbethoxy)-ethyl]amino}-3,6-dithiaoctane. Cyclization of the latter by condensation with phthaloyl chloride gives 9,10-benzo-8,11-dioxo-1,4-dithia-7,12-bis[1,2-bis(carbethoxy)ethyl]-7,12-diazacyclotetradec-9-ene.For report 13 see [1].Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1340–1342, October, 1984.     

Optimized relaxivity and stability of [Gd(H(2,2)-1,2-HOPO)(H2O)]- for use as an MRI contrast agent

Relaxometry and solution thermodynamic measurements show that Gd(H(2,2)-1,2-HOPO) is a good candidate as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI-CA). Acidic, octadentate H(2,2)-1,2-HOPO forms a very stable Gd(III) complex [pGd=21.2(2)]. The coordination sphere at the Gd(III) center is completed by one water molecule that is not replaced by common physiological anions. In addition, this ligand is highly selective for Gd(III) binding in the presence of Zn(II) or Ca(II). The symmetric charge distribution of the 1,2-HOPO chelates is associated with favorably long electronic relaxation time T1,2e comparable to those of GdDOTA. This, in addition to the fast water exchange rate typical of HOPO chelates, improves the relaxivity to r1p=8.2 mM-1 s-1 (0.47 T). This remarkably high value is unprecedented for small-molecule, q=1 MRI-CA.

C(2)-Symmetric bis-sulfoxide: A novel chiral auxiliary for asymmetric desymmetrization of cyclic meso-1,2-diols

A new heterocyclic compound, C(2)-symmetric bis-sulfoxide 1, has been found to be an efficient chiral auxiliary for asymmetric desymmetrization of cyclic meso-1,2-diols via diastereoselective acetal fission. Both (R,R)- and (S,S)-1 are readily synthesized with high optical purity via asymmetric oxidation of 1, 5-benzodithiepan-3-one (2). After acetalization of meso-1,2-diols 6a-e and a mono-TMS ether 6f with this chiral auxiliary 1, the resulting acetals 7a-f were subjected to base-promoted acetal fission upon treatment with potassium hexamethyldisilazide (KHMDS) followed by acetylation or benzylation to give the desymmetrized diol derivatives 8a-f with high diastereoselectivity. The chiral auxiliary 1 is readily removed by acid-promoted hydrolysis and can be recovered without a loss in enantiomeric excess.     

双烯类聚合物的热分析——I.间规1,2-聚丁二烯的熔融-结晶与热氧化

由钴催化体系合成的间规1,2-聚丁二烯是结晶性的,熔点205—210℃,与1,2-链节含量无关。低1,2-含量(12—20mol％)时,热氧化峰温为185℃左右,高1,2-含量(95—100mol％)时,200到240℃。换言之,与主链双键相比,侧链乙烯基的热氧化反应发生在更高的温度,即在熔融后的较窄的温度范围表现出较大的热效应。高1,2-含量间规聚丁二烯热氧化的热效应和活化能值,似与合成转化率有一定联系,当达到一定转化率时,热效应急剧增高,而活化能降低,估计这与残留在试样中催化剂的量及存在形式有关。

Synthesis of 2-aryl(hetaryl)-1-hydroxyimidazoles by the reaction of aliphatic 1,2-hydroxylamino oximes with aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes

A reaction of aliphatic 1,2-hydroxylamino oximes bearing the hydroxylamino group at the secondary carbon atom with aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes in acetic acid leads to the corresponding 1-hydroxy-2-aryl(hetaryl)-4,5-dialkylimidazoles in high yields. α-Aryl(hetaryl)-nitrones initially formed by the condensation of 1,2-hydroxylamino oximes with aldehydes are quantitatively converted to the corresponding imidazoles.     

Synthesis and characterization of novel sulfonated polyimide containing phthalazinone moieties as PEM for PEMFC

A novel sulfonated diamine monomer,1,2-dihydro-2-(3-sulfonic-4-aminophenyl)-4-[4-(4-aminophenoxy)-phenyl]phthalazin- 1-one(S-DHPZDA),was successfully synthesized by direct sulfonation of diamine 1,2-dihydro-2-(4-aminophenyl)-4-[4-(4- aminophenoxy)-phenyl]-phthalazin-1-one(DHPZDA).A series of sulfonated polyimides(SPIs),which can be used as the material of the proton exchange membrane(PEM)for the proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC),were prepared from 1,4,5,8- naphthalenetetracarboxylic dianhydride(NTDA),S-DHPZDA,and nonsulfonated diamines DHPZDA.The structure of the monomer and polymers were characterized by FT-IR and~1H NMR.The solubility of the S-DHPZDA-based SPIs has been improved due to the induction of the phthalazione moiety.The SPIs membranes have high thermo-stability,predominant swelling resistance with high ion exchange capacity.

TBAF-mediated reactions of 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes with thiols and amines and regioselective synthesis of 1,2-heterodisubstituted alkenes

An efficient synthesis of trisubstituted alkenes including 1,2-heterodisubstituted alkenes has been described. Reactions of thiols and amines with 1,1-dibromo-1-alkenes in the presence of TBAF·3H(2)O afford (Z)-2-bromovinyl sulfides and (Z)-2-bromovinyl amines regio- and stereoselectively. The reaction proceeds under catalyst-free conditions with high efficiency. The coupling reactions of the obtained products bearing bromine atoms with phenylacetylene and phenylboronic acid gave trisubstituted alkenes in good to excellent yields. Cross-coupling with various N, O, S, and P nucleophiles selectively generated 1,2-N,O, 1,2-N,S, 1,2-S,P, 1,2-S,S, and 1,2-S,O heterodisubstituted alkenes.
