PM3 semi-empirical study of stereoelectronic effects in the Baeyer-Villiger reaction

The Baeyer-Villiger reaction of polymethoxybenzaldehydes with peroxysuccinic acid (PSA) is studied theoretically. The semi-empirical SCF-MO/PM3 method has been used to study the reaction and to calculate the energy profiles. In addition, heat of formation computations and bond order analyses of the transition species along the reaction coordinates have been performed and are interpreted qualitatively in terms of electron flow through the system during aryl migration. Our results support the hypothesis that the second step is a concerted reaction. Our data support a definite effect of the substituent on the aryl migration. The theoretical predictions are in good agreement with experimental results.

Ion interaction approach to calculations of volumetric properties of aqueous multiple-solute electrolyte solutions

The ion interaction approach developed by Pitzer was used for the prediction of volumetric properties of mixed electrolyte solutions at 25°C based on parameters calculated from experimental data for single-solute electrolyte solutions. Such an approach was shown to be especially effective for application to the calculation of volumetric properties of natural hypersaline brines and of industrial electrolyte solutions of large complexity. The use of the latest recommended sets of volumetric ion interaction parameters for single electrolyte solutions and symmetrical mixing parameters for Na–K–Cl ion combinations considerably improved the precision of the density calculations of highly concentrated mixed electrolyte solutions and of various natural waters.     

Cs2CO3 Promoted coupling reactions for the preparation of skipped diynes

An improved methodology for the preparation of copper(I) alkynides has been developed using cesium carbonate as base. In the presence of cesium carbonate and CuI various 1-alkynes were converted smoothly to the corresponding copper alkynides which in situ reacted with propargylic halides in order to synthesize skipped diynes.     

Synthesis of jasplakinolide analogues containing a novel omega-amino acid

The synthesis of the omega-amino acid 4 is described utilizing a two-dimensional synthesis strategy combined with an enzymatic differentiation of homotopic ester groups. The amino acid 4 features two non-bonded interactions that result in conformational constraints on a cyclic construct. This amino acid was incorporated into the four macrolactams 17, 22, 31, and 37. The ring in 17 and 22 is 18-membered, whereas 31 and 37 have a 19-membered ring. The pairs with the same ring size differ in a N-methyl group. For the larger macrolactams (31 and 37) conformational analysis showed that the macrocyclic rings are somewhat more rigid than in the natural lead, the depsipeptide jasplakinolide. Nevertheless, their conformations are comparable to the natural product. There are no intramolecular hydrogen bonds, neither is the cis-rotamer populated in the N-methyl compound 37. Due to the increased flexibility of the smaller macrolactams 17 and 22 and signal overlap, a distinct solution structure could not be obtained for these compounds. The amino acid 4 should be useful for restricting the conformation of other small peptides.     

Normal coordinate analysis of MSiH3 moieties in transition metal complexes and comparison to results obtained for silyl halides

In order to examine the influence of the transition metal on the metal-silyl fragment MSiH₃ and the metal-silicon bond, polarized Raman spectra of the complexes (C₅R₅)(CO)₂FeSiH₃ R = H (Cp) (1a), Me (Cp^*) (1b)], (C₅H₅)(CO)(PPh₃)FeSiH₃ (1c), (C₅Me₅)(CO)₂RuSiH₃ (2), (C₅R₅)(CO)₂(PMc₃)MoSiH₃ [R = H (3a), Me (3b)], and (C₅R₅)(CO)₂(PMe₃)WSiH₃ [R = H(4a), Me (4b)] have been recorded. The spectral data have been evaluated and interpreted on the basis of a normal coordinate analysis of the MSiH₃ core and the derived force constants and potential energy distributions were compared to results obtained for analogous halogen derivatives in the series XSiH₃ [X = Br (5), I (6)].

Peculiarities of interactions between the DNA molecule and different isomers and modifications of binuclear coordination compounds of platinum(II)

A comparison has been made of conformational changes in the DNA molecule during its interaction in solution with different binuclear coordination compounds of platinum [Pt(NH₃)₂Cl-R-Pt(NH₃)₂Cl]Cl₂ in cis and trans conformations, which contain cytosine, pyrazine, and carboxypyrazine as the common ligand (R). The influence of concentration of the components, and in particular, of ionic strength of the solution on the complexation process was studied. The influence of the nature of the common ligand, and of cis and trans conformations of coordination compounds on the character of their interaction with DNA was considered. A comparison was made between the structures of DNA complexes with mono-and binuclear compounds with the same set of ligands in the platinum coordination sphere.
