Synthesis and Characterization of the Isocyanide Ligated Centered Zirconium Halide Cluster [(Zr6Be)Cl12(CNXyl)6]

The first isocyanide ligated hexanuclear zirconium halide cluster is reported. The unoxidized [(Zr₆Be)Cl₁₂(CNXyl)₆] (CNXyl = 2,6-dimethylphenyl isocyanide) was obtained from the solid state precursor K₃Zr₆Cl₁₅Be by dissolution in CH₃CN in the presence of CNXyl. The CNXyl ligands occupy all the axial positions on the cluster. The compound was recrystallized from CH₂Cl₂ and Et₂O. [(Zr₆Be)Cl₁₂(CNXyl)₆].2CH₂Cl₂ crystallizes in the space group (#2) with a = 12.092(5) Å, b=12.728(5) Å, c = 14.102(8) Å, = 104.98(4)°, =107.11°, = 100.94°, V = 1919(2) ų, Z = l, R = 11.3% and R _W = 27.0%. For the bound isocyanide ligands, v _CN increases to 2140 cm^–1.

Pheromone, 3.Mitt.: Eine einfache Methode zur Steuerung der Reduktion von α-Alkoxy-carbonylverbindungen

Summary Enantiomerically pure 1,2-diols bearing optionallysyn oranti configurated secondary hydroxylic groups are synthesized from acetal-protected cyanohydrins. After resolution of the diastereomers the cyanohydrins are converted into -alkoxy-ketones by Grignard-reaction followed by reduction using common chelating or non-chelating agents. Among others syntheses of enantiomerically pure pheromones,endo-Brevicomin,exo-Brevicomin and Dispalure are given as examples.

Synthesis and transformations of metallocycles. 9. Regioselective and stereoselective synthesis of al-substitutedtrans-3,4-dialkylaluminocyclopentanes catalyzed by (η5-C5H5)2ZrCl2

A new stereoselective method is developed for the synthesis of 1-chloro-, 1-alkoxy-, and 1-N,N-dialkylaminoalumino-cyclopentanes from -olefins, metallic magnesium, and aluminum halides (AlCl₃, RO-AlCl₂, R₂N-AlCl₂) in the presence of catalytic amounts of Cp₂ZrCl₂ (Cp=⁵-C₅H₅). The products from hydrolysis and deuterolysis of the Al-substituted 3,4-dialkylaluminocyclopentanes (ACP) have the threo configuration.For Communication 8, see [1].Institute of Organic Chemistry, Urals Branch, Russian Academy of Sciences, 450054 Ufa.

Stoichiometric and catalytic methods of asymmetric synthesis of nonproteinogenic α-and β-amino acids via transition metal coordination compounds

The complexes of glycine, -alanine, and -alanine with (S)-[N-(N-benzylprolyl)amino] benzophenone formed by Ni(II) and Cu(II) ions and Schiff bases enter into different nucleophilic and electrophilic reactions with the formation of diastereoisomeric complexes which decompose into proteinogenic and nonproteinogenic L-amino acids with a high chemical yield and elevated optical purity (70–90%). Optically pure amino acids can be obtained from diastereoisomerically pure complexes after the complexes are separated by recrystallization of the mixture of diastereoisomeric complexes formed. A new type of interphase catalysts of C-alkylation of achiral Schiff bases was proposed. The catalysts are positively charged Ni(II) and Cu(II) complexes of Schiff bases of chiral diamines. In some cases, these complexes have a higher activity and capacity to execute asymmetric alkylation than traditional chiral interphase catalysts based on cinchonidine.Based on materials in the section report by Yu.
