Basische Metalle. LXIV. Lewis-basische Bis(trimethylphosphan)cobalt-Komplexe mit Indenyl und Trifluormethylcyclopentadienyl als Liganden

Basic Metals. LXIV. Lewis-basic Bis(trimethylphosphine)cobalt Complexes with Indenyl and Trifluormethylcyclopentadienyl as Ligands The half-sandwich type compounds C₉H₇Co(PMe₃)₂ ( 1 ) and (C₅H₄CF₃)Co(PMe₃)₂ ( 6 ) are prepared from CoCl(PMe₃)₃ and C₉H₇Li or TlC₅H₄CF₃, respectively. They behave like metal bases and react with HBF₄, CH₃I (or CF₃SO₃CH₃), I₂, and CH₃COCl by oxidative addition to give the cationic complexes [C₉H₇CoX(PMe₃)₂]⁺ and [(C₅H₄CF₃)CoX(PMe₃)₂]⁺ (X ? H, CH₃, I, COCH₃) which are isolated as the PF₆ salts ( 2–5 and 7–10 ). The ¹HNMR and the IR spectra of the compounds 1–10 are discussed, also in comparison to those of the corresponding cyclopentadienylcobalt complexes.

Open- and closed-shell states in few-particle quantum mechanics. II. Classification of atomic states

The system developed in the first paper of this series for the classification of states as open- or closed-shed type is applied to atomic states. These may be classified in the isoelectronic limit (Z → ∞) from knowledge of the true wave function in this limit. One-matrix occupation numbers are tabulated for a number of states of the first-row atoms in the limit Z → ∞ and the states classified. A classification for finite Z is possible in the framework of the Z-dependent perturbation theory by use of a thoerem for the stability of a closed-shed with respect to small perturbations. Such a stability does not hold in general for open-shel states.     

Totalsynthese von (+)-D-Homoöstron-3-methyläther

Total Synthesis of (+)-D-Homoestrone 3-methyl ether A novel total synthesis of (+)-D-homoestrone 3-methyl ether ( 21 ) is described starting from (S)-8a-methyl-3,4,8,8a-tetrahydro-2H, 7H-naphthalene-1,6-dione ( 1 ) as a chiral synthon for the rings C and D. The key step involves alkylation of the derived 3 with m-methoxyphenacyl bromide ( 4 ) as an AB-building block to give the dioxo-secosteroid 5 . Hydrogenation of 5 affords the trans-decalone 11 . As by-products the epimeric cis-decalones 12 and 13 were characterized. Cyclization of 11 leads under kinetic control predominantly to the Δ⁹⁽¹¹⁾-tetraene 14 . Catalytic hydrogenation of 14 and subsequent modification in ring D give the title compound 21 . It was found that 14 and also the derived Δ⁸-isomer 15a add hydrogen from the α-face of the molecule to an extent of about 80%. The 8α-D-homoestrone derivatives 20a and 23 as well as the 9β-isomers 19a and 22 were characterized.     

Isolierung,Konstitution und Synthese der (R)-(−)-Eucominsäure

From the bulbs of Eucomis punctata L'Hérit. (Liliaceae) and of a hitherto undefined species of Eucomis a new optically active phenolic carboxylic acid, eucomic acid, was isolated. Structure 1 was assigned on the basis of chemical and spectral evidence. The absolute configuration of eucomic acid was determined by its correlation with piscidic acid ((2 R, 3 S)-2-(4′-hydroxybenzyl)-tartaric acid) ( 8 ). Consequently, eucomic acid is (R)-(?)-2-(4′-hydroxybenzyl)-malic acid ( 1 ). For the stereospecific synthesis, methyl cis-p-methoxybenzylidene-succinic acid ( 22 ) was transformed into the γ-lactone 24 which, by catalytic hydrogenolysis, yielded (±)-2-(4′-hydroxybenzyl)-malic acid 1-methyl ester ( 27 ). Resolution with (?)-quinine led to the enantiomeric acids 29 and 30 . The methyl ester of the levorotatory enantiomer 30 was identical with the dimethyl ester 3 of 4′-O-methyl-eucomic acid.     

ON THE LUMINESCENCE OF ESTROGENS

Abstract —The absorption, fluorescence, and phosphorescence of a series of estrogens is reported. The behavior of estrogens without a keto-group is compared with that of the isolated phenylic, phenolic and naphtholic chromophores. In the latter two, attachment to the steroidal frame is inconsequential as regards their luminescent behavior. In all keto-estrogens with the exception of equilenin there is a very strong transfer of excitation energy from the A ring chromophore to the keto group. The fluorescence of 6-keto-estradiol, which has a conjugated aromatic carbonyl chromophore, is apparently due to the rigidity of the steroid frame and exhibits a rather perculiar excitation spectrum.     

Probing Higgs boson — and supersymmetry-induced CP violation in top quark production by (un-) polarized electron-positron collisions

We consider, both for unpolarized and longitudinally polarized electron beams, the reaction $e^ + e^ - \to t\bar t$ with subsequent semileptonict and nonleptonic $\bar t$ decay and vice versa and investigate optimized angular correlations which are sensitive to CP non-conservation in the $t\bar t$ production vertex. We calculate these correlations for two-Higgs-doublet extensions and the minimal super-symmetric extension of the Standard Model (SM) with CP violation beyond the Kobayashi-Maskawa phase. While the sensitivity of the optimal correlation for tracing dispersive CP effects is enhanced with longitudinally polarized electron beams, we find that the sensitivity of the best correlation for probing absorptive CP effects is almost independent of the polarization degree.     

Chemospecific monofunctionalization of alpha-cyclodextrin in the solid state

[reaction: see text] The properties of the self-assembling aziadamantane inclusion complex with two alpha-cyclodextrin molecules have been exploited to perform a chemospecific monofunctionalization of alpha-cyclodextrin. The insertion of the photochemically generated carbenes takes place chemospecifically into the cyclodextrin's C-3-OH and C-2-OH bonds in 39 and 18% yield, respectively. This model reaction surpasses conventional methods in terms of yield as well as selectivity.
