C1 C70F38 contains four planar aromatic hexagons; the parallel between fluorination of [60]- and [70]fullerenes

The main C(1) isomer of C(70)F(38) is shown by single-crystal X-ray analysis to contain four planar aromatic hexagons and four isolated C=C bonds, has two fluorines on the equator, and is related to C(2) C(70)F(38) by means of three 1,3-fluorine shifts. The C(1) and C(2) isomers thus parallel the T and C(3)/C(1) isomers of C(60)F(36) in containing three and four aromatic rings, respectively, and in the fluorine shift relationship.

Acylation of the 4,5- and 5,6-double bond isomers of 3-steroidal thiazolidines: The chemical stability of spiro-3-steroidal 4,5- and 5,6-double bond isomers

It has been shown that the 5,6-double bond steroidal thiazolidines can be N-acylated if there is no substituent in the 4'-position on the thiazolidine ring; substituents in the 4'-position of the thiazolidine sterically hinder acylation. On the other hand, the 4,5-double bond steroidal thiazolidine isomers decomposed on attempted acylation. The lability of these 4,5-double bond isomers was attributed to the contribution of a hyperconjugative resonance form to the structure of the 4,5-double bond isomers.

Synthesis of 5-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-4-[(methyloxy)methyl]-2-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane derivatives as constrained aryl-piperidines with activity as triple re-uptake inhibitors

Stereochemical and synthetic aspects encountered during the preparation of the four possible isomers of 1 are reported. The 5-aryl 2-azabicyclo [3.2.1] octane derivatives represent a novel class of compounds which can be deemed as an example of aryl-piperidine conformationally constrained of potential interest for medicinal chemistry exploration. In particular isomers of 1 are characterised by a potent in vitro serotonine, dopamine and noradrenaline re-uptake inhibitor (TRUI) activity superior/comparable to standard compounds such as DOV 21,947 and DOV 102,677.     

Dipole moments of aryl cis - and trans -styryl sulphides and sulphones

The dipole moments of thirteen aryl styryl sulphides and eleven aryl styryl sulphones have been determined. Among them are eightcis-trans isomeric pairs, four sulphides and four sulphones. The styryl group is found to conjugate with the sulphide function as an electron-withdrawing group. The angles which the styrylthio and styrylsulphonyl groups make with their axes of rotation are calculated. The observed dipole moments of the sulphides and sulphones are compared with the moments calculated by the vector addition of group moments. The dipole moments ofcis aryl styryl sulphides and sulphones are found to be generally lower than those of theirtrans isomers. An explanation is offered attributing the cause to sterically enhanced styryl-sulphur conjugation in thecis isomers.     

Comparison of the use of mass spectrometry and methylene unit values in the determination of the stereochemistry of estranediol, the major urinary metabolite of 19-nortestosterone in the horse

The stereochemistry of an isomer of 5-estrane-3,17 alpha-diol, the major metabolite of 19-nortestosterone in horse urine has been established by the use of methylene unit (MU) values. The empirical MU values of the bis-trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives of the eight available isomers of 5-androstane-3,17-diol and four isomers of 5-estrane-3,17 beta-diol were determined by capillary gas chromatography using three different columns. From this data the theoretical MU values for the bis-TMS derivatives of the four 5-estrane-3,17 alpha-diol isomers were predicted. Comparison of the experimentally determined MU value of the urinary metabolite with those of the theoretical values established the correct stereochemistry of the steroid. This method has been compared with the use of gas chromatography-mas spectrometry in the determination of the stereochemistry of unknown metabolites.     

Biocatalytic procedure for obtaining all four diastereoisomers of 1-(1-hydroxyethyl)-3-ethylferrocene: synthons for chiral 1,3-disubstituted ferrocenes

Lipase from Candida antarctica has been successfully used to realise the selective esterification of the four 1-(1-hydroxyethyl)-3-ethylferrocene isomers, possessing central/planar chirality. In this reaction, the lipase recognises only the two isomers possessing an (R)-configuration, independently from planar chirality. This allows us to split the mixture into two couples of diastereoisomers, namely the (S_p,R_c)-/(R_p,R_c)- and (R_p,S_c)-/(S_p,S_c)-isomers, conveniently separated in the single constituents by crystallisation from hexane.     

Analysis of the optical and geometrical isomer distributions in selected propylene glycol acetals

For the first time, relative distributions of optical and geometrical isomers in selected propylene glycol acetals are determined. Resolution of the four acetal isomers possible through the reaction of racemic propylene glycol (PG) with selected aldehydes is demonstrated. The four isomers are ascribed to the presence of syn and anti geometrical isomers for each optically active PG acetal enantiomer. Thus, the (+) and well as (-) enantiomer are found to have a pair of syn and anti geometrical isomers. The ratio of the (+) and (-) isomers in the product remains at an approximate 50:50 ratio, as expected. However, somewhat unexpectedly, the syn/anti geometrical isomer ratio systematically varies with the nature of the substituent comprising the side chain of the aldehyde. Mechanisms involving electronic and minimal steric effects are advanced as possible reasons for the change in the syn/anti PG acetal ratios.     

Computational study on the structures of the [H, Si, N, C, O] isomers: possible species of interstellar interest

Ab initio methods have been used to study the lowest lying [H, Si, N, C, O] isomers, which are of astrochemical interest. Over 20 [H, Si, N, C, O] isomers in the 1A' electronic state have been investigated at the MP2/aug-cc-pVTZ level of theory. Of these, the seven lowest isomers have been further investigated using different levels of theory, including B3LYP and QCISD(T). It has been found that the relative energies of the isomers in their ground electronic state (1A') are very dependent on the level of theory used with either the cis-HOSiCN or cis-HOSiNC isomers being the lowest in energy. Overall, the four lowest isomers are within 6 kcal/mol of each other, and a further three isomers are less than 15 kcal/mol higher in energy than the lowest lying isomer, including HSiNCO, which has recently been detected spectroscopically. Natural bond analysis has been carried out on the ground electronic states of the seven lowest lying isomers to examine their electronic structure. The enthalpies of formation of the seven lowest isomers have also been evaluated using the G3MP2 and G3B3 multilevel methods and show that the isomers are relatively thermodynamically stable. The structures and energies of lowest lying 1A' and 3A' electronic states of these isomers have also been investigated and show that for most of the isomers the optimized structures in these excited electronic states correspond to a transition state structure.     

13C NMR spectroscopy of 4,5- and 5,6-double bond isomers of spiro-3-steroidal ketone derivatives : The determination of the structures of steroidal thiazolidines

The thiazolidine isomers obtained upon the reaction of aminoethanethiols with α,β-unsaturated steroidal ketones were found to be double bond positional isomers based on their optical rotations and ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra. The ¹³C NMR spectra of analogous ketals, hemithioketals and a thioketal of steroidal ketones were also reported, and ¹³C NMR spectroscopy was shown to be a convenient method of assigning the position of the double bond in the double bond isomers for all four of these derivatives. Finally, ¹³C NMR spectroscopy was found to be useful in determining that thiazolidine formation was stereospecific to give only one C-3-isomer.     

Isomerès optiques du naftidrofuryl ( = 2-[(naphth-1-yl)méthyl]-3-(tétrahydrofur-2-yl)propanoate de 2-(diéthylamino) éthyle)

Optical Isomers of Naftidrofuryl( = 2-(Diethylamino)ethyl 2-[(Naphth-1-yl)methyl]-3-(tetrahydrofur-2-yl)propanoate) The four optical isomers of naftidrofuryl ( 1 ) were prepared in two ways, by separation and resolution of the two diastereoisomeric racemates and by synthesis from the enantiomers of tetrahydrofuran-2-methanol ( 6 ); see Scheme}. The absolute configuration of one of the isomer as a tartrate monohydrate was established by X-ray crystallography thus allowing the deduction of the absolute configurations of the other three optical isomers.     

First comprehensive bakkane approach: stereoselective and efficient dichloroketene-based total syntheses of (+/-)- and (-)-9-acetoxyfukinanolide, (+/-)- and (+)-bakkenolide A, (-)-bakkenolides III,B, C,H, L,V, and X, (+/-)- and (-)-homogynolide A, (+/-)-homogynolide B,and (+/-)-palmosalide C

Cycloaddition of dichloroketene with dimethylcyclohexenes has been used as the key reaction in an efficient, general approach to the bakkanes. New methods and methodologies that have been developed in this work include spiro beta-methylene-gamma-butyrolactonizations, a vicinal dicarboxylation, an angelic ester preparation, a transesterification, an epoxy ketone double reduction, and a retro aldol-aldol approach to low-energy aldol isomers.

Discrimination of isomers and isobars by varying the reduced-field across drift tube in proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS)

Proton-transfer-reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) is a powerful technique for the real time trace gas analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). However, quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS) used in PTR-MS has a relatively low mass resolution and is therefore not suitable for differentiating isobars. Furthermore, because of the lack of chemical separation before analysis, isomers can not be identified, either. In the present study, by varying the reduced-field E/N in the reaction chamber with a range of 50–180 Td in PTR-MS, we studied the product ion distribution (PID) of three sets of isobars/isomers, i.e. n-propanol/iso-propanol/acetic acid, propanal/acetone and four structural isomers of butyl alcohol. The profiles of the reduced-field dependence (PFD) of the PID under the chosen E/N-values show obvious differences which can be used to discriminate between these isobars/isomers thus enabling the titled method. Noticeably, we have observed that even the isomers, in the case of four structural isomers of butyl alcohol, which show little difference with each other at high reduced-field, can be discriminated easily at low reduced-field. Finally, two examples for the application of this method are discussed: (1) cyclohexanone was identified to be a major compound in the headspace of medical infusion sets; and (2) the differentiation and quantification of propanal and acetone in three synthetic mixtures with different ratios. This study presents a potential method to distinguish and quantify isobars/isomers conveniently in practical applications of PTR-MS analysis without additional instrumental configurations.     

The use of 15N-NMR spectroscopy for assigning the structures of isomeric N7- and N9-substituted purines

An ¹⁵N-NMR study has shown a considerable difference in electronic structures between the isomeric N⁷ and N⁹ substituted purines. A comparison of ¹⁵N chemical shifts amongst the seven pairs of N⁷ and N⁹ isomers has revealed that (1) the N³ resonances are shielded by 18–20 ppm in an N⁹ isomers; (2) the amino nitrogens at the C-2 or at C-6 positions are always shielded by 3–4 ppm in the N⁷ isomers; (3) the N⁷ chemical shifts in the N⁷ isomers are always more shielded by 6–7 ppm than the N⁹ resonances in the N⁹ isomers. It has a also been found by protonation studies that the N⁹ of the N⁷ isomer is much more basic than the N⁷ of the N⁹ isomer.

Separation of the Isomers of Oligomethylphenylcyclosiloxanes and Determination of their Structures by Capillary GC–MS

Cyclic (MePhSiO) _n , formed by hydrolysis of MePhSiCl₂, was analyzed by GC–MS on an HP-5 ms capillary column and separated into two different isomers of 2,4,6-trimethyl-2,4,6-triphenylcyclotrisiloxane (P3), four different isomers of 2,4,6,8-tetramethyl-2,4,6,8-tetraphenylcyclotetrasiloxane (P4), and four different isomers of 2,4,6,8,10-pentamethyl-2,4,6,8,10-pentaphenylcyclopentasiloxane (P5). Statistical distribution of the isomers was observed for every oligomethylphenylcyclosiloxane (P3, P4, and P5) with some steric effects of the phenyl group. Dissociation of the molecular ions was deduced from the mass spectra.
