Chiral Imidazoline Ligands and Their Applications in Metal-Catalyzed Asymmetric Synthesis

As a structural analog of oxazoline,imidazoline(4,5-dihydroimidazole)has received much attention in the rational design of chiral ligands.The additional N-substituent provides broader space for fine-tuning of electronic and steric effects,and it offers a good handle for immobilizing onto solid supports.In the past decades,imidazoline ring has emerged as a powerful candidate for the design of chiral nitrogen-containing ligands,as well as a significant alternative for oxazoline ring.Various chiral imidazoline ligands have been designed and utilized in asymmetric organic reactions.These new catalysts can not only be applied in classical reactions,but also be employed to develop new organic reactions with high enantioselectivities.This review provides an overview of chiral imidazoline ligands.Their applications in asymmetric synthesis are also summarized.

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of Mo(CO)_4(NNP) (NNP=2-(N-Cyclohexyl-N-diphenylphosphinomethyl)aminopyridine)

1 INTRODUCTION The pyridyl-phosphine ligands have been widely used for many years to synthesize hetero- or homo-nuclear metal complexes[1], as electronic differentiation associated with the hard (N) and soft (P) donor atoms dictates their unique reactivities and coordination modes. One of the most common pyridylphosphines studied to date is (2-C5H4N)PPh2 which displays numerous ligating modes ranging from P-coordination and P,N-chelation to the more common P,N-bridging of two metal …

THE INFLUENCE OF AXIALLIGANDS ON THE ELECTRONIC ABSORPTION SPECTRA OF PHTHALOCYANINATOIRON(Ⅱ)

Axial ligation in solution by phthalocyaninatolron(Ⅱ)with a varicty of donor ligandshas been widely investigated by measuring the visible spectral changes.It has been foundthat the axial ligation does not influence the Q_ο-οband so much as the Ⅱ-band,the appearance and the red shift of the latter under the action of σ-donation of ligands could be attri-buted to the Charge transfer from the metal d-orbital toward e_σ(π)orbital of PC-ring:e_g(dπ)M→Cg(π)Pc.A linear relation was found to exist between the energy of Q_ο-οand that of Ⅱ-band of ligands containing the same donor atoms(O,N,S,).This may be corre-lated with the electronegativity of donoratoms.     

Reaction of Metallocenyl η2-Diyne with Co2(CO)8 and RuCo2(CO)11

Alkyne and alkynyl species bearing a C = C functional group belong to a class of surface species which may play a pivotal role in various catalytic reaction such as CO hydrogenation, and the coordination chemistry of the corresponding ligands has been studied extensively. The interaction of alkynyl compounds with dinuclear species leading to adducts with a tetrahedral C2M2core has been recognized as one of the classical reactions in the field of organometallic chemistry.     

Cuprous Iodide Catalyzed Synthesis of Diaryl Selenide and Telluride from Organoboronic Acids with Diphenyl Diselenide and Ditelluride

Organoselenium and tellurium compounds have received much attention not only as synthetic reagents or intermediates in organic synthesis but also as promising donor molecules for conductive materials.[1] A number of synthetic methods have been reported to prepare organoselenium and tellurium derivatives. A convenient and general method to introduce a selenium or tellurium moiety into organic molecules is the reaction of a metal selenolate or tellurolate with appropriate electrophiles such as organic halides, acyl chlorides, epoxides, and α, β-enones.[2] However, it is difficult to synthesize the unsymmetrical diarylselenides and tellurides through the reaction of selenide anion with organic halides because of the less reactivity of aryl halides. To accomplish this purpose, the reaction (iodobenzene with phenylselenol)was generally carried out in the presence of catalysts, ligands and strong bases. But, the reaction needs longer time to accomplish and form the products in moderate yields.     

Synthesis and Catalytic Asymmetric Reaction of Chiral Pyridine Prolinol Derivatives

The enantioselective reduction of prochiral ketones with borane in the presence of a chiral ligand leading to enantiomerically pure secondary alcohols has received considerable attention in recent years. [1] Enantiomerically pure secondary alcohols are important intermediates for the synthesis of various other organic compounds such as halides, esters, ethers, ketones and amines. To the best of our knowledge, the use of pyridine prolinol derivatives in the reduction of ketones has not been reported so far. Thus, it should be of interest to investigate the catalytic a bility of such ligands. We have an ongoing project in the synthesis and application of chiral pyridine derivatives in chiral molecular recognition[2] and we want to evaluate the effect resulting from the introduction of a pyridinyl moiety onto the catalysts. We expect that the cooperation of pyridine unit and chiral prolinol unit in new ligands may result in unique properties for catalytic reaction.

Modeling phase equilibria of semiclathrate hydrates of CH_4,CO_2 and N_2 in aqueous solution of tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide

Semiclathrate hydrates of tetra-n-butyl ammonium bromide(TBAB) offer potential solution for gas storage,transportation,separation of flue gases and CO2 sequestration.Models for phase equilibria for these systems have not yet been developed in open literatures and thus require urgent attention.In this work,the first attempt has been made to model phase equilibria of semiclathrate hydrates of CH4,CO2 and N2 in aqueous solution of TBAB.A thermodynamic model for gas hydrate system as proposed by Chen and Guo has been extended for semiclathrate hydrates of gases in aqueous solution of TBAB.A correlation for the activity of water relating to the system temperature,concentration of TBAB in the system and the nature of guest gas molecule has been proposed.The model results have been validated against available experimental data on phase equilibria of semiclathrate hydrate systems of aqueous TBAB with different gases as guest molecule.The extended Chen and Guo's model is found to be suitable to explain the promotion effect of TBAB for the studied gaseous system such as,methane,carbon dioxide and nitrogen as a guest molecule.Additionally,a correlation for the increase in equilibrium formation temperature(hydrate promotion temperature,ΔTp) of semiclathrate hydrate system with respect to pure gas hydrate system has been developed and applied to semiclathrate hydrate of TBAB with several gases as guest molecules.The developed correlation is found to predict the promotion effect satisfactorily for the system studied.     

Reduction of Methylene Green by EDTA:Kinetic and Thermodynamic Aspects

The reduction of methylene green (MG) into protonated leuco dye with ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) in aqueous alkaline medium was studied spectrophotometrically at λ_max 660 nm. EDTA behaved as an effective electron donor during the reduction of MG in an aerobic condition. Consumption of EDTA in the reduction of MG means that it is oxidized. This is an unexpected result since EDTA does not normally function as a reducing agent. The nitrogen-containing chelating agents with secondary or tertiary nitrogen behaved as an electron donor in photochemical reaction of dye. The rate of reduction depends upon pH in the same way as the base titration of EDTA. Effects of salt and temperature have been investigated for the reduction process. The salting agent KNO₃ has been found to uniquely enhance the rate of reduction of MG by EDTA in the aerobic condition. Detailed kinetic and thermodynamic aspects have been discussed to realize the interaction between MG and EDTA. Kinetic studies revealed that reaction was sensitive and regeneration of oxidized form of the dye was observed. Reversible first order reaction kinetics with respect to EDTA, MG and NaOH was found.

Influence of temperature on the structure of liquid water

Molecular dynamics simulations have been carried out for liquid water at 7 different temperatures to understand the nature of hydrogen bonding at molecular level through the investigation of the effects of temperature on the geometry of water molecules. The changes in bond length and bond angle of water molecules from gaseous state to liquid state have been observed, and the change in the bond angle of water molecules in liquid against temperature has been revealed, which has not been seen in literature so far. The analysis of the radial distribution functions and the coordinate numbers shows that, on an average, each water molecule in liquid acts as both receptor and donor, and forms at least two hydrogen bonds with its neigbors. The analysis of the results also indicates that the water molecules form clusters in liquid.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Hexameric Organooxotin Cluster from Benzilic Acid

R.[4] first reported the hexameric drum organotin compound, many organotin carboxy- lic ester compounds with drum-shape have been syn- thesized in recent years[5, 6]. It has been revealed that organotin compounds containing carboxylate ligands with additional donor atoms that are available for coord…     

Helical ternary complexes of alkaline earth picrates with open-chain crown ether

Much attention has been paid to the amide-type open-chain crown ethers with versatile mo-lecular structures because of their characteristic physical and chemical properties. These types of ligands have been used successfully as the active materials for ion-selective electrodes and the extractants for metal ions[1—5].

A Novel Fluorescent Probe for Lead Ions

A new fluorescent probe for lead ions, p-nitrophenyl 3H-phenoxazin-3-one-7-yl phosphoric acid (NPPA), has been synthesized by linking resorufLn (serving as a fluorophore and electron acceptor) to p-nitrophenol (serving as a fluorescence quencher and electron donor) through phosphodiester bonds. When NPPA was irradiated with light, intramolecular fluorescence self-quenching took place due to the PET (photoinduced electron transfer) from the donor to the acceptor. However, upon addition of Pb^Ⅱ, the phosphate ester bonds in the probe were cleaved and the fluorophore was released, accompanying the retrievement of fluorescence.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [Ni(bdpm)_2(OAc)]_2(N_3)_2·5H_2O(bdpm=Bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane,OAc=CH_3COO~-)

Coordination behavior of the li- gand is able to yield stable M-N-N-C-N-N six-mem- bered boat conformation[1, 2]. The complexes con- taining bdpm ligand have been widely synthesized and characterized in recent years, and exhibit the striking properties in catalysis, magnetism and so on[3-10]. For exa…     

Investigation on the Coordination Mode of IL-Supported Diols Used as Phosphine-Free Ligands for Palladium Catalyzed Heck Reaction

The coordination mode of IL-supported diols used as phosphine-free ligands for palladium catalyzed Heck reaction has been investigated by tuning their compositions. The difference in coordination of these IL-supported diols with metal Pd in Heck reaction was related to the changes of the cation rings, leading to the different activities of Pd catalyst in the reaction. The experimental results indicated that the activities of Pd catalyst were affected mainly by n-electron density of the cation rings. Compared to pyridinium and piperidinium cations, imidazolium cations showed the best coordination to metal Pd. In the meantime, C-2 hydrogen and the length of alkyl side chains had impacts on the coordination as well.
