Chiral Phosphinophenyloxazolines Bearing Alkoxymethyl Substituents: Synthesis and Application in the Palladium Catalyzed Allylic Substitution Reactions

The chiral phosphine‐oxazoline ligands 3 and 4 bearing 4‐alkoxymethyl substituents on the oxazoline ring with (R)‐configuration were prepared from L‐serine methyl ester in 66% and 33% yields, respectively. Along this synthetic pathway, the β‐hydroxylamides derived from L‐serine methyl ester and 2‐halobenzoyl chlorides were expediently converted to the corresponding oxazolines by using diethylaminosulfur trifluoride as the activation agent. Potassium diphenylphosphide was the reagent of choice for replacing the bromine atom on the phenyl ring, giving the desired oxazoline‐phosphine ligands 3 and 4 . Together with [Pd(η³‐allyl)Cl]₂, ligands 3 and 4 induced an enantioselective allylic substitution reaction of 1,3‐diphenyl‐2‐pro‐penyl acetate by dimethyl malonate. Although ligands 3 and 4 exhibit the (R)‐configuration, differing from the (S)‐configuration of Pfaltz‐Helmchen‐Williams phosphine‐oxazoline ligands, all these ligands led to the same enantiotopic preference in the allylic substitution reaction. To facilitate the recovery and reuse of the phosphine‐oxazoline ligand, immobilization on Merrifield resin was attempted, albeit in low loading.     

Classifying Structural Characteristics to Enhance Computation of Enthalpy of Formation of Halohydrocarbons

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations are made and least squares calibration performed for various halohydrocabons, which were 27 straight‐chain alkyl halides, 20 branch‐chain alkyl halides and 19 aromatic halides, to determine their enthalpies of formation (ΔH_f). The mean absolute error (M. |A.E.|) in ΔH_f across 66 molecular computations was only 7.8 kJ/mol (1.9 kcal/mol). Grouping the molecules by their structural characteristics improved M. |A.E.| of ΔH_f by 0.2–2.2 kJ/mol over that obtained using corresponding modified data for the same 66 unclassified molecules.     

Redetermination of (6R,7S,9S,11S)‐(–)‐sparteinium monoperchlorate

The structure of the title compound, C₁₅H₂₇N₂⁺·ClO₄^?, consists of a monoprotonated sparteinium cation and a perchlorate anion. The two tertiary N atoms of the cation, one perchlorate O atom and a H atom form a bifurcated hydrogen bond, the four hydrogen‐bonding atoms being nearly in the same plane.

Indirect Determination of Captopril with Sodium Nitrate and Thiocyanate by Floatation Separation of Copper

A new method for indirect determination of captopril (CPT) with NaNO₃ and NH₄SCN by floatation and separation of copper has been studied. In the weak acid, a small amount of Cu(II) can be reduced to Cu(I) by CPT, then Cu(I) reacted with the SCN, which can float on the surface of the liquid phase with NaNO₃. A good linear relationship is observed between the floatation yield (E%) of Cu(II) and the amount of captopril. The linear range is 2?32 mg/L. On the ground, captopril can be indirectly determined by determining E(%) of Cu(II). The method is simple, rapid, reliable and has good selectivity. The developed method can be applied to indirect determination of captopril with satisfactory results.     

Polymer bound glutamic acid salicylaldehyde Schiff‐base complex ­catalyst for oxidation of olefins with ­dioxygen

The polymer bound Schiff‐base ligand (PS‐SalGlu) has been prepared from polystyrene bound salicylaldehyde and glutamic acid, and its complex (PS‐SalGlu‐Co) has also been synthesized. The polymer ligand and its complex were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, small area X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and inductively coupled plasma‐atomic emission spectro (ICP‐AFS). In the presence of the complex, cyclohexene can be effectively oxidized by molecular oxygen without reductant. The long‐chain linear aliphatic olefins, such as 1‐octene, 1‐decene, 1‐dodecene and 1‐tetradecene, can be directly oxidized by molecular oxygen catalyzed by PS‐SalGlu‐Co, which affords the 1,2‐epoxy alkane.
