2-(Phenyltelluromethyl)tetrahydrofuran (L) and 2-(2-{4-methoxyphenyl}telluroethyl)-1,3- dioxolane (L) and their palladium(II) and platinum(II) complexes

The nucleophile [ArTe⁻] generated in situ borohydride solution of Ar₂Te₂, reacts with 2-(chloromethyl) tetrahydrofuran and 2-(2-bromoethyl)-1,3-dioxolane resulting in L¹ and L², respectively. The complexes of palladium(II) and platinum(II) with L¹/L² having stoichiometries [MCl₂·L₂], [ML₂](ClO₄)₂, [(DPPE)ML₂](ClO)₄)₂, [(PPh₃)₂ML₂](ClO₄)₂ and [(phen)ML₂](ClO₄)₂ (where L = L¹/L² DPPE = Ph₂PC H₂CH₂PPh₂, PHEN = 1,10-phenanthroline and M = Pd/Pt) have been synthesized. IR, ¹H, ¹²⁵Te{¹H} and ³¹P{¹H} NMR and UV-vis spectral data of these species in conjunction with their molar conductance and molecular weight data have been used to authenticate the new species. In all complexes (1–20) the ligands L¹ and L² are coordinated through tellurium and in the complexes of formula [ML₂](ClO₄)₂ (M = Pd, Pt) the ligand is bidentate with the oxygen atom used in complexation. In solution, complexes PtCl₂L₂ exist as a mixture of cis and trans isomers whereas only the trans isomer was observed for the palladium analogues. The [(phen)PdL₂](ClO₄)₂(Q) quenches ¹O₂ readily. The plot of log [Q] vs time is linear. Mechanism compatible with the experimental observations is proposed.     

Novel rhenium(III) complexes with 5,6-diphenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-trazine: X-ray structures and DFT calculations for [ReCl3(OPPh3)(dppt)] and [ReCl3(PPh3)(dppt)] complexes

The reaction of [ReOCl₃(PPh₃)₂] with 5,6-diphenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-trazine (dppt) has been examined and [ReCl₃(OPPh₃)(dppt)] has been obtained. The triphenylphosphine oxide can be easily replaced by PPh₃ in the reaction of [ReCl₃(OPPh₃)(dppt)] with an excess of triphenylphosphine. The [ReCl₃(OPPh₃)(dppt)] and [ReCl₃(PPh₃)(dppt)] complexes have been structurally and spectroscopically characterized. Their molecular orbital diagrams have been calculated with the density functional theory (DFT) method, and their electronic spectra have been discussed on the basis of time-dependent DFT calculations. The compound [ReCl₃(OPPh₃)(dppt)] has been studied additionally by magnetic measurement. The magnetic behavior is characteristic of mononuclear complexes with d⁴ low-spin octahedral Re(III) complexes (³T_1g ground state) and arise because of the large spin–orbit coupling (ζ = 2500 cm⁻¹), which gives diamagnetic ground state.     

2-亚甲基-1,3-二氧己烷衍生物的合成及自由基开环聚合

本文报道了四种2-亚甲基-1,3-二氧己烷类单体:4-甲基-2-亚甲基-1,3-二氧己烷(Ⅱ)、4,6-二甲基-2-亚甲基-1,3-二氧己烷(Ⅳ)、5,5-二甲基-2-亚甲基-1,3-二氧己烷(Ⅵ)和5,5-二乙基-2-亚甲基-1,3-二氧己烷(V Ⅲ)的合成以及自由基开环聚合。结果表明,上述单体在聚合过程中出现异构化开环现象。Ⅲ和Ⅳ的甲基位置在环上氧原子的α-碳原子上时,显示对异构化反应的影响比Ⅵ及Ⅷ的甲基和乙基在β-碳原子上时更显著。上述现象与异构化开环形成仲碳自由基中间体的倾向更大有关。 Ⅳ在苯溶液中及过氧化二叔丁基存在下,120℃反应,得到全部是聚-δ-戊内酯骨架结构的聚合物。提出了一种合成聚-δ-戊内酯类链结构的聚酯的新的途径和方法。

Acylation of α-(N-carbamoyl)alkylcuprates and alkyl- or aryl(halo)cuprates

α-(N-Carbamoyl)alkylcuprates [R₂CuLi·LiX or RCuXLi (X=CN, Cl)] when prepared from THF soluble CuX·2LiCl (X=Cl, CN) undergo a reliable and generally high yield reaction with aroyl, alkanoyl, and alkenoyl chlorides to provide a rapid and efficient synthesis of α-carbamoyl ketones. Cuprates prepared from acyclic, cyclic, and a functionalized carbamate can be utilized. Although yields are a function of cuprate reagent and substrate structure, nearly quantitative yields can be obtained with reagents generated from 2RLi+CuCN·2LiCl. The use of reagents generated from CuCl·2LiCl are more efficient in the α-(N-carbamoyl)alkyl ligand, although yields are slightly lower. Acylation of alkyl(chloro)cuprates generated from one equivalent of CuCl·2LiCl and organolithium or Grignard reagents provides an efficient and high yield procedure for ketone synthesis.     

Molecular recognition of l-leucyl-l-alanine: enantioselective inclusion of alkyl methyl sulfoxides

A simple aliphatic dipeptide, l-leucyl-l-alanine (Leu-Ala), includes several alkyl methyl sulfoxides enantioselectively to form inclusion crystals. From single-crystal X-ray analyses of three inclusion compounds of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), isobutyl methyl sulfoxide, and benzyl methyl sulfoxide, it was elucidated that Leu-Ala molecules self-assemble to form layer structures and the sulfoxides are included via hydrogen bonding in a cavity between these layers. The inclusion cavity has methyl group and isobutyl group at its each side, and the guest sulfoxide is placed in such a manner that its methyl group faces toward the methyl of the Leu-Ala cavity. When the alkyl group of the sulfoxide is comparably large, it is located in the residual space of the cavity to attain effective crystal packing. Thus, the sulfoxides having a comparably large group such as isobutyl, butyl, and benzyl are included with a high (R)-enantioselectivity in Leu-Ala crystals.     

Synthesis of chiral [5]helicenes using aromatic oxy-Cope rearrangement as a key step

Both enantiomers of (P)-(+)-2- and (M)-(−)-2-acetoxy-11,14-dimethyl[5]helicenes 8 were synthesized by asymmetric aromatic oxy-Cope rearrangement of the corresponding chiral bridged bicyclic compounds, which were obtained by enzymatic resolution. The absolute configurations of 8 were assigned by their circular dichroism spectra.     

Enzymatic dissymmetrization of meso-2,3-dimethylbutane-1,4-diol and its diacetate. Synthesis of scalemic (–)-lasiol

Acylation of meso-2,3-dimethylbutane-1,4-diol with vinyl acetate in the presence of porcine pancreatic lipase (PPL) leads to the dextrorotatory monoacetate of the above diol with enatiomeric excess (ee) 58—64%. Absolute configuration of this scalemic specimen was determined by its sequential transformation to levorotatory lasiol, a metabolite of the Lasius ants. Partial hydrolysis of the corresponding meso-diacetate, mediated by PPL or by the Pseudomonas sp. lipase affords the monoacetate of opposite configuration with ee 72—86%, a formal intermediate in the synthesis of (3S,4R)-faranal. Other microbial lipases used are distinctive in low chemoselectivity.     

一种新型单体引发转移终止剂合成精细结构功能化的聚苯乙烯

自从1982年Ｏｔｓｕ[1]等提出引发转移终止剂(Ｉｎｉｆｅｒｔｅｒ)以来,这类化合物得到了广泛的研究和发展.使用引发转移终止剂的聚合反应是实现“活性”聚合的一个重要方法.引发转移终止剂又分为热引发转移终止剂和光引发转移终止剂两种.热引发转移终止剂除了三苯甲基偶氮苯外[2],均是六取代乙烷类化合物[3～7];而光引发转移终止剂则一般是一些含二硫代氨基甲酰氧基基团的化合物,如Ｎ,Ｎ二乙基二硫代氨基甲酸苄酯(ＢＤＣ)、双(Ｎ,Ｎ二乙基二硫代氨基甲酸)对苯二甲酯(ＸＤＣ)、Ｎ乙基二硫代氨基甲酸苄酯(ＢＥＤＣ)、双(Ｎ乙基二硫代氨基甲酸…     

Quinone imines and aminophenols as precursors of new heterocycles

Cyclization of substituted quinone imines and diazabutadiene derivatives of aminophenols affords 4aH-phenoxazine or 4H-1,4-benzoxazine derivatives, which are finally transformed into the following fused heterocycles: the stable 1,4,6,8-tetra(tert-butyl)phenoxazin-10-yl radical and 7a,14a,15a, 15b-tetrahydro-14,16-dioxa-5,9-diaza-8,15-ethenohexaphene and 5a,6,11a, 12-tetrahydro[1,4]benzoxazino[3,2-b][1,4]benzoxazine derivatives. The influence of the substituents on the pathways of the reactions of intermediate benzoxazines and phenoxazines, such as oxidation, [2+4] dimerization, and the closure of the second ring, was studied. The structures of the fused heterocycles were determined by X-ray diffraction, NMR spectroscopy, and ESR. Published in Russian in Izvestiya Akademii Nauk.
