Effects of allylic and homoallylic substituents on the ring closing metathesis reaction used to synthesise simplified eleuthesides

During the course of our synthetic studies towards simplified eleuthesides, we have found that p-methoxyphenyl (PMP) protected allylic alcohols are compatible with the RCM reaction and can give better yields than the corresponding free allylic alcohols.     

Pyridazine derivatives. Part 40: Reactivity of 5-alkynylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones toward hydrochloric acid

5-Alkynylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones or 5-(2-chloroalkenyl)pyridazin-3(2H)-ones were isolated during the cleavage of the methoxymethyl group in a series of 5-alkynyl-2-methoxymethylpyridazin-3(2H)-ones by treatment with hydrochloric acid. The efficient and selective cleavage of the methoxymethyl group in these compounds can be performed under mild conditions by employing aluminium chloride.     

Silica-Based and Transition Metal-Based Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Materials—A Comparison

Organically substituted metal alkoxides can be prepared by reaction of the parent alkoxides with complexing organic compounds. The chemical and structural consequences of such substitutions are discussed in this article. Examples are given showing how functional organic moieties, such as polymerizable groups, can be incorporated into sol-gel materials via the complexing ligands. Major structural differences between silica-based and metal-based hybrid materials originate from the different charge/coordination number ratios of silicon and most metals. This results in a high tendency for the molecular building blocks to aggregate. In many cases, metal oxide clusters are formed which are capped by the organic ligands. Such surface-modified clusters are themselves very valuable condensed matter units for materials syntheses.     

含有杂环基侧链的新型聚硅氧烷

含有功能性基团的聚硅氧烷的研究一直是有机硅化学中十分活跃的研究领域之一。当含N、S等杂环引入聚硅氧烷链中后，由于杂环基的生理活性、催化活性及光电特性，因而含不同杂环基团的聚硅氧烷（POS）可分别用作催化剂、光电材料、医学材料等。当用作药物载体时，可提高药物的利用率和靶向性，也可降低某些药物的毒性。含环糊精侧基、冠醚侧基的POS亦可应用于气相色谱固定相、相转移催化剂。本文对近年来有关侧链含有吡啶、咪唑等杂环及环糊精基团等功能性侧基的聚硅氧烷结构、合成、及应用作一详细的评述并进行了展望。     

Selective cleavage of acetals with ZnBr2 in dichloromethane

A selective cleavage of acetals of 1,2- and 1,3-diols has been achieved under mild conditions using ZnBr₂ in dichloromethane at room temperature. Acetal types cleavable by this procedure include benzylidene, isopropylidene and cyclohexylidene acetals. This method is compatible with several other types of hydroxyl protecting groups such as Bn, Bz, TBDPS, TIPS and TBDMS.     

超声辐射下某些含官能团化合物与二氯卡宾的反应

超声辐射在有机反应中的应用日趋广泛。我们曾报道了超声辐射与相转移催化相结合产生二氯卡宾和二溴卡宾的方法及其与烯烃加成反应的结果。该法比单纯使用相转移催化剂或超声辐射更为可取。本文进一步将它用于二氯卡宾与某些含官能团化合物的反应,考察超声辐射的影响。反应是在固-液两相条件下进行的,即以粉末状氢氧化钠为碱,氯仿过量兼作溶剂。结果表明,超声辐射对各类化合物反应的影响有相当明显的差异。     

Liquid chromatography of benzene derivatives on a porous methacrylate copolymer containing epoxy groups

Summary The retention of benzene derivatives with nonpolar and polar substituents on a porous methacrylate copolymer containing epoxy groups using both nonpolar and polar eluents was investigated. When n-hexane is used as the eluent, the retention of n-alkylbenzenes and polymethylbenzenes is weaker than that of benzene. In the case of benzene derivatives containing polar functional groups their capacity ratios (k) on this porous polymer increases approximately linearly with the increase of the adsorbate molecules dipole moment. The retention characteristics of the methacrylate copolymer were compared with that of a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer and silica gels with a hydroxylated surface and with a surface modified by chemically bonded alkylsilyl groups.     

The effect of the counterion composition on the chain restriction in the cationic polymerization of isobutylene

The effects of the nature of halogens in the initiatingtert-butyl halide-aluminum-containing Lewis acid system on the number average molecular weightM _n and the structure of end groups of polyisobutylene macromolecules obtained in the cationic polymerization of isobutylene in hexane at -78 °C were studied. An increase inM _n is observed in the transition from chlorine to bromine and iodine, accompanied by a decrease in the fraction of end C=C groups and an increase in the relative content of C-Hal groups (Hal = Cl, Br, and I). When atoms of different halogens are present in the counterion, more bulky atoms preferentially participate in the formation of the end groups. The results are interpreted within the framework of the principle of hard and soft acids and bases.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk. Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 5, pp. 1184–1187, May, 1996.     

Preparation of a set of selectively protected disaccharides for modular synthesis of heparan sulfate fragments: toward the synthesis of several <Emphasis Type="Italic">O</Emphasis>-sulfonated [β-D-GlcUA-(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAc]OPr types

A concise method for a stereocontrolled synthesis of a set of selectively protected disaccharides is reported. Coupling of the donor 11 onto acceptors 23 and 24, promoted by trimethylsilyl triflate-N-iodosuccinimide (TMSOTf-NIS), generated the disaccharides 25 and 26. Under typical conditions, condensation of the fully protected donor 12 onto acceptors 23 and 24 produced the disaccharides 27 and 28. The building blocks 25–28 were prepared in moderate yields having exclusive β-stereoselectivity. A unique pattern of protecting groups distinguished clearly between positions to be sulfated and functional groups remaining as free hydroxyl groups. Acetyl and/or levulinoyl esters temporarily protected the positions to be sulfated, while benzyl ethers were used for permanent protection. The anomeric positions were protected as allyl ethers, whereas the 4′-positions were masked as p-methoxybenzyl (PMB) ethers. The orthogonality of the PMB and allyl groups can then be used for further elongation of the chain by recurrent deprotection and activation steps. The hydroxyl group, OH-6, of glucosamine moieties was protected as a TBDPS ether to avoid oxidation. A five-step deprotection/sulfonation sequence was applied to the disaccharide 27 to generate the corresponding sulfated [β-D-GlcUA-2-OSO₃Na-(1→4)-β-D-Glc pNAc]-(1→O-Pro) 34.
