Structure analytical methods for quantitative reference applications

The analytical methods mass spectrometry, UV/Vis, IR, Raman, Fluorometry, XRD, Mössbauer, and NMR used to elucidate chemical structure are evaluated regarding their capabilities to be used as primary analytical techniques in quantitative measurements, considering the criteria in the CCQM definition of primary methods. This includes a review of the respective measurement equations, the evaluation of the measurement uncertainty, and a discussion of evidence for the “highest metrological level”, as obtained from intercomparisons in contest with other methods. It is shown that only few methods fulfill the CCQM criteria. Quantitative NMR spectroscopy is one of them and may be considered as a potential primary method as recommended by CCQM because of being free of empirical factors in the uncertainty budget.     

Capto-dative Substituent Effects in Syntheses with Radicals and Radicophiles [New synthetic methods (32)]

The 100 yers old Wurster's salts have long been recognized as compounds with redical cations. Their unusual stabilization derives partly form capto-dative (cd) substitution. This principle is now discussed as one factor of radical stabilization and it is applied to simple methine derivatives. cd-Substitution has synthetically useful applications: cd-substituents on a carbon atom allow its selective dehydrodimerization. Olefines with geminal and thus cross-conjugated cd-substituents are “radicophilic” and permit twofold carbon radical addition. cd-Substituted olefines are useful antioxidants, polymerization inhibitors and are promising agents in the control of biological radical reactions. Generally, many reactions of cd-substituted molecules appear to involve radicals.

X-Ray Investigation of Chiral β-Hydroxyketone Derived From (+)-Isomenthone

X-ray analysis was carried out to study the molecular structure of β-hydroxyketone, which is one of the minor products of selective aldol condensation of (−)-menthone with 4-carbomethoxybenzaldehyde. The cyclohexanone ring of the compound has a practically undistorted chair conformation with an axial orientation of the 1-methyl group and the bulkiest 2-[1′-hydroxy-1′ -(4-carbomethoxyphenyl)]methyl substituent and the equatorial orientation of the isopropyl group in the 4 position. The stereochemical configuration was found to be (1R,2R,4 R, 1′ S), supporting that the compound belongs to the group of (+)-isomenthones; i.e., the starting (-)-menthone undergoes (to a certain extent) epimerization under the reaction conditions used. In crystal, there is intermolecular hydrogen bonding >C=O...HO- (the -O...H- bond length is 2.15 Å). The molecular conformation in hydroxyketone crystals differs from the one which prevails in solutions (according to previous NMR data) and which is characterized by an inverted cyclohexanone ring and intramolecular hydrogen bonding >C=O...HO.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2004 by S.

Recent Applications of α-Metalated Isocyanides in Organic Synthesis

Being both nucleophilic and electrophilic, α-metalated isocyanides can add to polar double bonds, forming heterocycles. They are also synthons for α-metalated primary amines. This article describes recent or improved procedures for their use in organic synthesis: (1) In heterocyclic syntheses to give 2-oxazolines, 2-imidazolines, 2-thiazolines, oxazoles and oligooxazoles, thiazoles, triazoles, imidazolinones, pyrroles, 5,6-dihydro-1,3-oxazines and -thiazines, and (via cycloaddition with nitrones) 2-imidazolidinones. (2) In the field of formylaminomethylenation, for example transformation of estrone methyl ether and a keto sugar into the corresponding α-formylaminoacrylic esters, and the conversion of aldehydes and ketones by 3- and 4-pyridyl-methyl isocyanides into N-(1-pyridyl-1-alkenyl)formamides and their hydrolysis to 3- and 4-acylpyridines. (3) In connection with the use of α-metalated isocyanides as synthons for α-metalated primary amines, the author demonstrates how they may be used for preparation of 1,2- and 1,3-amino alcohols, 1,2-diamines, 2,3-diaminoalkanoic acids and for synthesis of higher amino acids starting from simple amino acids.     

Vilsmeier formylation of 5,10,15-triphenylcorrole: expected and unusual products

5,10,15-Triphenylcorrole (1) reacts with the Vilsmeier reagent (POCl(3)/DMF) to give the corresponding 3-formyl derivative 3 as the major product. The regioselectivity of the reaction was proven by X-ray crystallography and only traces of the 2-formyl isomer were observed. A more polar product is also observed and this compound becomes the major product when an excess of DMF is used for the preparation of the Vilsmeier reagent, while the formation of the 3-formyl isomer is almost completely suppressed. X-ray crystallography allowed us to identify this compound as the fully substituted N-ethane bridged derivative 4, formed from the attack of the Vilsmeier reagent at the inner core of the macrocycle. This compound is unique among porphyrinoid macrocycles, and further confirms the peculiarity of corrole chemistry.     

Traceability and analytical chemistry

 The basic concepts of traceability as they are defined by the Comité Consultatif pour la Cluantité de Matière are contrasted with the practical exploitation in chemical analysis. The applicability of traceability concepts are tested for their practical applicability on four different analytical methodologies, neutron activation analysis, plasma mass spectrometry, beam microscopical analysis and speciation analysis of organometallic compounds.

A multireference configuration interaction method based on the separated electron pair wave functions

A multireference configurational interaction method based on the separated electron pair (SEP) wave functions, SEP‐CI approach, has been developed as an approximation to the traditional CASSCF method. It differs from the CASSCF method in that active orbitals are obtained from the SEP wave function without further optimization in the subsequent CI calculations, and the active space is automatically constructed according to the occupation coefficients of SEP natural orbitals. These features make the present SEP‐CI method computationally much less demanding than the CASSCF method. The applicability of the SEP‐CI method is illustrated with sample calculations on the insertion reaction of BeH₂ and dissociation energies of LiH, BH, FH, H₂O, and N₂. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

分别用MNDO和AM1两种半经验方法,对C59F2nHN (n = 1, 2) 的异构体进行几何构型全优化,结合频率分析及HF/6-31G单点能计算,确定了各异构体的基态结构及其相对稳定性。计算结果表明,C59HN的F加成物的立体选择性规律与C60的不同,最稳定异构体不是1-2加成物。C59F2HN的最稳定异构体是1-4加成的6, 18-或12, 15-异构体; C59F4HN的最稳定异构体是1-4,1-4加成的6, 18; 12, 15-异构体,其能量远小于其它各异构体的能量。N原子取代碳笼骨架C原子后,改变了碳笼F加成物的立体选择性规律。
