Repeat Space Theory Applied to Carbon Nanotubes and Related Molecular Networks. I

The present article is the first part of a series devoted to extending the Repeat Space Theory (RST) to apply to carbon nanotubes and related molecular networks. Four key problems are formulated whose affirmative solutions imply the formation of the initial investigative bridge between the research field of nanotubes and that of the additivity and other network problems studied and solved by using the RST. All of these four problems are solved affirmatively by using tools from the RST. The Piecewise Monotone Lemmas (PMLs) are cornerstones of the proof of the Fukui conjecture concerning the additivity problems of hydrocarbons. The solution of the fourth problem gives a generalized analytical formula of the pi-electron energy band curves of nanotube (a, b), with two new complex parameters c and d. These two parameters bring forth a broad class of analytic curves to which the PMLs and associated theoretical devices apply. Based on the above affirmative solutions of the problems, a central theorem in the RST, called the asymptotic linearity theorem (ALT) has been applied to nanotubes and monocyclic polyenes. Analytical formulae derived in this application of the ALT illuminate in a new global context (i) the conductivity of nanotubes and (ii) the aromaticity of monocyclic polyenes; moreover an analytical formula obtained by using the ALT provides a fresh insight into Hückel’s (4n+2) rule. The present article forms a foundation of the forthcoming articles in this series. The present series of articles is closely associated with the series of articles entitled ‘Proof of the Fukui conjecture via resolution of singularities and related methods’ published in the JOMC.     

Optimisation of chiral separation of omeprazole and one of its metabolites on immobilized α1-acid glycoprotein using chemometricsglycoprotein using chemometrics

Summary A strategy for the optimisation of direct chiral separation of omeprazole and a metabolite, hydroxi-omeprazole, in reversed phase liquid chromatography is described. A factorial design was used, where mobile phase pH, concentration of a mobile phase modifier, ionic strength and column temperature were tested as the variables and enantioselective retention, column efficiency and asymmetry factor as the responses. The experimental results were evaluated with multivariate analyses, which demonstrated that the column temperature and content of mobile phase acetonitrile were by far the most important variables. The enantiomers of omeprazole and one of its metabolites were baseline resolved within 15 minutes. The optimised chromatographic system was used for a separation of the enantiomers of omeprazole and its main metabolite in a patient plasma sample.

Solvent-generated HPLC systems with β-cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral additives

It is shown that enantioselective solvent-generated liquid-liquid and liquid-solid Chromatographic systems with -cyclodextrin derivatives can be realized. The liquid-liquid systems are based on ternary solvent systems of limited miscibility, containing chiral additives; the chiral stationary phase is spontaneously generated on the porous microparticulate silica used as a solid support. In the solvent-generated adsorption systems a very small proportion of -cyclodextrin derivatives is added to the mobile phase. These components act as column activators, since they are strongly adsorbed on the RP solid support where they form new stereoselective adsorption sites. It is demonstrated that dynamically generated systems with -cyclodextrin derivatives as chiral agents are powerful and versatile tools for enantioseparation of different types of compounds. This technique creates not only a new type of selectivity but also leads to very stable and reproducible Chromatographic columns.Dedicated to Professor J. F. K.

Crystalline Inclusion Compounds Derived from Derivatives of Mandelic Acid. Host Synthesis, Inclusion Formation, and X-Ray Structures of a Free Host Compound and of DMSO Inclusion Complexes in Both Racemic and Optically Resolved Forms

New chiral host compounds based on mandelic acid derivatives having methyl (6a, b and 8a, b) or bromo substituents (7a, b) attached to the phenyl ring of mandelic acid and involving additional aromatic groups were synthesized. The inclusion properties of both the racemic and the optically resolved host species are reported, including solvent co-crystallization as well as chiroselective and vapour sorptive inclusion. The structures of the free racemic host compound 6b and of the DMSO inclusion compounds of optically resolved and racemic 8 (8a and 8b, respectively) have been determined by X-ray analysis. Enantiomeric pairs of molecules in 6b form centro-symmetric dimers by mutual hydrogen bonding of one hydroxyl group while the other is involved in O-–H ... interactions. The guest molecules in the DMSO complexes of 8a and 8b are bound via hydrogen bonds to two host molecules related by translation along crystallographic axes. Parallels to previous hosts of this type are drawn.

Fast chromatographic separation of (−)-menthyl chloroformate derivatives of some chiral drugs,with special reference to amlodipine,on porous graphitic carbon

Summary Enantiomeric separation of (–)-menthyl chloroformate derivatives of some chiral cardioactive drugs, on porous graphitic carbon (PGC), Hypercarb-S, is described. Capacity and separation factors of derivatives of the calcium channel blockers; amlodipine and UK52.829, the -blockers; atenolol, sotalol and propranolol, and mexiletine were studied in different chromatographic systems based on dichloromethane. A high content of a carboxylic acid in the mobile phase was found to decrease the retention and positively affect the stereoselectivity of the derivatives. A mobile phase with dichloromethane, acetonitrile and formic acid gave baseline separation of the enantiomers of amlodipine in less than 8 minutes. Results show that acetic acid and formic acid, may be regarded as strong organic solvents in PGC chromatography with nearly the same elution power as dichloromethane.     

Enantiomerentrennung und chiroptische Eigenschaften eines 2,3-Dihydrobilatriens-abc

The enantiomers of the 2,3-dihydrobilatriene-abc1 have been separated by recycling chromatography on triacetylcellulose. Comparison of their chiroptical properties with those of amino acid substituted analogues, like3, reveals the chirality of center 3 to be of minor influence on the values. Stabilization of a definite helical conformation of these pigments seems to depend on this influence together with an appropriate dipole-dipole interaction.

     

Synthesis and stereochemical resolution of functional [5]pericyclynes

Three different kinds of ring carbo-mers of [5]cyclitol ethers were targeted as challenging examples of functional [5]pericyclynes. Three tertiary pentaaryl-carbo-[5]cyclitol methyl ethers were synthesized through a [11+4] ring-closing double addition of triphenyl- and tri-p-anisyl-undecatetrayn-diides to dibenzoylacetylene. These compounds, obtained as oily mixtures of stereoisomers, are stable and can behave as acetylenic ligands of one or two Co₂(CO)₆ units. NMR analysis reveals that the broad diasteroisomeric dispersity of a triether, is consistently reduced in the symmetrized pentaether. Three bis-secondary triaryl-carbo-[5]cyclitol methyl ethers with adjacent CH(OR) vertices were synthesized through a similar [11+4] ring-closing process, where the same tetrayn-diides add to both the carbaldehyde ends of the (η²-OCH-CC-CHO)Co₂(CO)₆ complex. Despite the possibility of tautomeric isomerization, the occurrence of two adjacent bis-propargylic carbinol vertices does not diminish the stability of the [5]pericyclyne framework. Finally, two bis-secondary carbo-[5]cyclitol methyl ethers with non-adjacent CH(OH) vertices were synthesized through an alternative [10+5] ring-closing process. The bis-secondary carbo-[5]cyclitols are regarded as isohypsic equivalents of the challenging [C,C]₅carbo-cyclopentadienyl cation. A diphenyl-hexaoxy-[5]pericyclyne with two non-adjacent secondary carbinol vertices was also prepared through a [10+5] ring-closing strategy: this molecule is an isohypsic equivalent of the previously calculated zwitterionic carbo-cyclopentadienone, which could be observed as a DCI/NH₃-MS fragment after treatment with SnCl₂/HCl. Analytical HPLC showed that the C₁₁ triphenyl-undecatetrayne precursor of the [11+4] strategy was obtained as a statistical 1:2:1 mixture of the three possible diastereoisomers. Semi-preparative HPLC allowed for the resolution of this mixture. The pure major diastereoisomer was employed to prepare a partly resolved sample of pentamethoxy-pentaphenyl-[5]pericyclyne. Analytical HPLC showed that the latter corresponds to the statistical distribution of the expected three residual diastereoisomers. Semi-preparative HPLC finally afforded samples of diastereoisomerically pure pentamethoxy-[5]pericyclyne as crystalline solids.
