Intramolecular hydrogen bonding in chemoselective synthesized 2-substituted pyrrole stable phosphorus ylide: GIAO, AIM, and NBO approaches

The chemoselectivity of geometrically ylide compounds is often hard to assign from experimental techniques, particular system with intramolecular hydrogen bonding (IHB) are even more challenging. Herein, theoretical calculations were performed to investigate whether theoretical results would provide consistent evidence for the existence of IHB to confirm experimental data and to evaluate strength of the N–H···O IHB from geometrical synthesized 2-substituted pyrrole stable phosphorus ylide (dimethyl 2-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-3-(triphenylphosphoranylidene) butanedioate in a single chemoselective compound. Topological parameters at the bond critical points (BCP) of intramolecular hydrogen bonds from Bader’s atoms in molecules (AIM) theory and Winhold’s natural bond orbital (NBO) calculations were analyzed at the B3LYP/6-311++g** level in details. A series of gage-including atomic orbital chemical shift (GIAO c.s.) calculations at the HF and DFT levels of theory were carried out to assign the ¹H NMR chemical shifts. The best prediction of the experimental ¹H NMR values was obtained at the mPW1PW91 levels using the 6-31G** basis set. Theoretical results, in agreement with the experimental data, were confirmed the N–H···O IHB was caused the deshielding of the proton to lower field. The barriers in double bond and single bond rotation were theoretically estimated in detailed and the AIM and NPA approaches were confirmed the loss of charge of the hydrogen atom involving in intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonding. The geometrical and topological parameters from AIM and NBO analyses were indicated the medium N–H···O IHB.     

Al(H_2PO_4)_3 as an Efficient and Reusable Catalyst for One-pot Three-component Synthesis of α-Amino Phosphonates under Solvent-free Conditions

Synthesis of α‐amino phosphonates is described under solvent‐free conditions at 100°C from reaction between aldehydes and amines in the presence of trialkyl phosphites using Al(H₂PO₄)₃ as an efficient and reusable heterogeneous catalyst.

Synthesis of phosphonato esters involving heterocyclic biological bases in a highly diastereoselective and chemoselective route

Abstract  

Synthesis of five phosphonato esters has been accomplished via reaction between dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate and triphenyl phosphite in the presence of biological compounds such as theophylline, 4-hydroxypyrimidine, 2H-3,1-benzoxazine-2,4(1H)-dione, 2-chloroaniline, or 3-nitroaniline at ambient temperature. The configuration of the compounds was determined on the basis of coupling constants emerging from the Karplus equation.

The impact of protonation and deprotonation of 3-methyl-2'-deoxyadenosine on N-glycosidic bond cleavage

The enzyme-substrate contacts that are believed to be involved in depurination by proton transfer have been modelled by protonation and deprotonation of 3-methyl-2'-deoxyadenosine (3-MDA) using quantum mechanical calculations in the gas-phase and solution media. The change in the charge distribution on the sugar ring and nucleobase that is introduced by the protonation and deprotonation strongly affects the N-glycosidic bond length. The unimolecular cleavage and hydrolysis of the N-glycosidic bond, involving D(N)*A(N) and A(N)D(N) pathways, have been considered at several levels of theory. The trend in the energy barriers is A(N)D(N) > cleavage > D(N)*A(N). All probable proton transfer reactions resulting from enzyme-substrate contacts do not facilitate the N-glycosidic bond cleavage of 3-MDA. The deprotonation of 3-MDA that may result from the interaction between H6 and enzyme do not facilitate bond cleavage. The protonation at N7 induces more positive charge on the sugar ring and further facilitates the depurination relative to the protonation at N1. The changes in the charges calculated on the ribose and nucleobase are in good relationship with the C1'-C2', C1'-O4', and N-glycosidic bond lengths along the cleavage. The change in energy barrier ΔE of glycosidic bond cleavage from the gas-phase to solution media strongly depends on the charge of the species.
