Unique stereochemistry of 3-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives

The conformational equilibrium in solution was examined by NMR spectroscopy for a series of 7-phenyl-3-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane derivatives containing various substituents at the boron atom. The structures of these derivatives were studied in the crystalline state (X-ray diffraction analysis) and by quantum-chemical calculations (B3Pw91/6-31G*). The B...Ph transannular interactions corresponding to charge transfer from the system of the phenyl group to the vacant p-orbital of the B atom were demonstrated to be responsible for unique stability of the chair-chair conformation of these derivatives.Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Phosphonates containing sulfur and selenium. Synthesis of vinylphosphonates bearing α-sulfenyl, α-selenenyl, α-sulfinyl and α-seleninyl moieties and studies on nucleophilic addition

The selenenylation of racemic and optically active α-phosphoryl sulfoxides is a key step leading efficiently to α-phosphorylvinyl sulfoxides or α-phosphorylvinyl selenides depending on the reaction conditions. Oxidation of α-phosphorylvinyl selenides and subsequent thermolysis of selenoxides afford alkynylphosphonates. Studies of the stereochemical course of nucleophilic addition to α-phosphoryl sulfoxides show high facial stereoselectivity of the reaction, however, epimerisation at the α-carbon atom leads to mixtures of diastereomers.

Optical and Bioelectrochemical Characterization of Water‐Miscible Ionic Liquids Based Composites of Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes

Acidic treated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (AMWNTs) were ground with water‐miscible room temperature ionic liquids, 1‐butyl‐3‐methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim]BF₄), and resulted in AMWNTs‐[bmim]BF₄ composite. Its electrical‐ionic conductivity and optical properties were compared with the other two types of carbon materials‐[bmim]BF₄ composites: pyrolytic graphite powder (PGP), pristine multiwalled carbon nanotubes (PMWNTs), through the ac impedance technology and Raman spectroscopy. The impedance data show that AMWNTs‐[bmim]BF₄ composite exhibits the highest conductivity. Raman spectra study exhibits that the [bmim]BF₄ can form gel with PMWNTs and AMWNTs but only form a viscous liquid with PGP. AMWNTs‐[bmim]BF₄ gel modified GC electrode was applied in direct electrochemistry of heme proteins (Hb and HRP) and it catalysis to the reduction of H₂O₂ was investigated.

The reactions of N-methylmorpholinium 6-amino-3,5-dicyano-1,4-dihydropyridine-2-thiolates with formaldehyde and primary aromatic amines produce 3,5,7,11-tetraazatricyclo[7.3.1.0^2,7]tridec-2-ene-1,9-dicarbonitrile derivatives.

Synthesis of chiral N-protected 1,2-dihydro-quinoline-2-carbonitrile and 1,2-dihydro-isoquinoline-1-carbonitrile via an asymmetric Reissert reaction

Addition of cyanide ion to chiral N-acyl-quinolinium and N-acyl-isoquinolinium salts led selectively to 1,2-addition products. Removal of the chiral auxiliary affords the title compounds in pure enantiomeric form.     

Quaternized amino functionalized cross-linked polyacrylamide as a new solid-liquid phase transfer catalyst in reduction of carbonyl compounds with NaBH4

Poly[N-(2-aminoethyl)acrylamido]trimethyl ammonium chloride resin was developed as a new polymeric phase transfer catalyst. This quaternized polyacrylamide catalyzed the chemoselective reduction of aldehydes and ketones by NaBH₄ to give corresponding alcohols in high yields under mild conditions.     

Probes for narcotic receptor mediated phenomena. Part 31: Synthesis of rac-(3R,6aS,11aS)-2-methyl-1,3,4,5,6,11a-hexahydro-2H-3,6a-methanobenzofuro[2,3-c]azocine-10-ol, and azocine-8-ol, the ortho-c and the para-c oxide-bridged phenylmorphan isomers

Two of the 12 possible oxide-bridged phenylmorphans, were synthesized, rac-(3R,6aS,11aS)-2-methyl-1,3,4,5,6,11a-hexahydro-2H-3,6a-methanobenzofuro[2,3-c]azocine-10-ol (7) (the ortho-c compound), and rac-(3R,6aS,11aS)-2-methyl-1,3,4,5,6,11a-hexahydro-2H-3,6a-methanobenzofuro[2,3-c]azocine-8-ol (8) (the para-c compound). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies indicated that the dihedral angle between the least squares planes through the phenyl ring and the atoms C₁, C_11a, C₁₂, and C₃ in the piperidine ring in both 7·CHCl₃ and 8·HBr was 6.9°. The C₁₂-C_6a-C_6b-C_10a torsion angle was found to be 139.3° for both compounds. The angular relationship between the phenolic ring and the piperidine ring in phenylmorphans that interact with specific opioid receptors as agonists or antagonists is of considerable theoretical interest.     

An Interesting Approach to Bis-calix[5]arene Analogue from Calix[6]arene

Calix [n] arenas {n = 4, 6 or 8} are easily prepared from formaldehyde and para-substituted phenols via cyclic condensation under alkaline conditions in one step. It is not surprising that the calyx [n] arene (n = 4, 6, 8) chemistry has been developing very rapidly during the latest 20 years1. However, it is not the case for calixarenes with odd benzene rings (for example, n = 5). The yield of p-tert-butylcalix [5] arene synthesized in one-step from p-tert-butylphenol and formaldehyde was a…
