Lewis base activation of lewis acids. Addition of silyl ketene acetals to aldehydes

The weak Lewis acid silicon tetrachloride can be activated by catalytic amounts of the chiral bisphosphoramide (R,R)-3 to form a highly reactive, chiral trichlorosilyl cation which is an extremely effective promoter of aldol addition reactions between aldehydes and silyl ketene acetals. The tert-butyldimethylsilyl ketene acetal of methyl acetate adds nearly instantaneously to aromatic and olefinic aldehydes as well as aliphatic aldehydes (albeit more slowly) with excellent enantioselectivity. The homologous tert-butyldimethylsilyl ketene acetal of tert-butyl propanoate adds with nearly exclusive anti diastereoselectivity to a similar range of aldehydes also with excellent enantioselectivity. The origin of the slower reaction rate with aliphatic aldehydes is revealed to be the formation of chlorosilyl ether adducts.     

Chemical synthesis of the first lignans to be found in humans and animals

$\text{Trans}$-2,3-$\text{bis}$-(3′-hydroxybenzyl)-butyrolactone (1) and 2,3-$\text{bis}$-(3′-hydroxybenzyl)-butane-1,4-diol (2), recently identified in urine, have been synthesised in racemic form.     

The electric dipole moment of the hydrogen-bonded heterodimer HCN⋯HF. An investigation of the conditions leading to inadequacy of the second- and fourth-order perturbation theories of the Stark effect for linear molecules

We have detected large deviations of the M_J = 0, J = 2 ← 1 Stark effect transition in the linear molecule HCN?HF from predictions of second-, and even fourth-, order perturbation theory. In order to account satisfactorily for the observed effect it has been necessary to set up and diagonalize the appropriate energy matrix. Smaller deviations in the case of M_J = 1, J = 2 ← 1 have likewise been treated. The values of the electric dipole moment for HCN?HF calculated from these transitions, which show large and small deviations from second-order theory, and from one (M_J = 3, J = 4 ← 3) which shows effectively zero deviation, are now consistent and are as follows:

The interaction of water and dibromine in the gas phase: an investigation of the complex H(2)O...Br(2) by rotational spectroscopy and ab initio calculations     

Legon AC  Thumwood JM  Waclawik ER 《Chemistry (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)》2002,8(4):940-950

The ground-state rotational spectra of eight isotopomers of a complex formed by water and dibromine in the gas phase were observed by pulsed-jet, Fourier transform microwave spectroscopy. The spectroscopic constants B(0), C(0), delta(J), delta(JK), chi(aa)(Br(x)) (x=i for inner, o for outer), [chi(bb)(Br(x))-chi(cc)(Br(x))] and M(bb)(Br(x)) were determined for H(2)O...(79)Br(79)Br, H(2)O...(81)Br(79)Br, H(2)O...(79)Br(81)Br, H(2)O...(81)Br(81)Br, D(2)O...(79)Br(81)Br and D(2)O...(81)Br(81)Br. For the isotopomers HDO...(79)Br(81)Br and HDO...(81)Br(81)Br, only (B(0) + C(0))/2, delta(J), the chi(aa)(Br(x)) and M(bb)(Br(x)) were determinable. The spectroscopic constants were interpreted on the basis of several models of the complex to give information about its geometry, binding strength and the extent of electronic rearrangement on complex formation. The molecule H(2)O...Br(2) has C(s) symmetry with a pyramidal configuration at O. The zero-point effective quantities r(O...Br(i))=2.8506(1) A and phi(0)=46.8(1), where phi is the angle between the C(2) axis of H(2)O and the O...Br-Br internuclear axis, were obtained under the assumption of monomer geometries unchanged by complexation. Ab initio calculations, carried out at the aug-cc-pVDZ/MP2 level of theory, gave the equilibrium values r(e)(O...Br(i))=2.7908 A and phi(e)=45.7 degrees and confirmed the collinearity of the O...Br-Br nuclei. The potential energy function V(phi), also determined ab initio, showed that the wavenumber required for inversion of the configuration at O in the zero-point state is only 9 cm(-1). By interpreting the Br nuclear quadrupole coupling constants, the fractions delta(O-->Br(i))=0.004(5) and delta (Br(i)-->Br(o))=0.050(2) of an electron were determined to be transferred from O to Br(i) and Br(i) to Br(o), respectively, when the complex is formed. The complex is relatively weak, as indicated by the small value k(sigma)=9.8(2) N m(-1) of the intermolecular stretching force constant obtained from delta(J). A comparison of the properties, similarly determined, of H(2)O...F(2), H(2)O...Cl(2), H(2)O...Br(2), H(2)O...BrCl, H(2)O...ClF and H(2)O...ICl is presented.

This paper reviews the theory of search. The main viewpoint is statistical but considerable space is spent on connections with other fields such as logic and optimisation. Three primitive ideas dominate: consistency, entropy, and Bayes' methods. The theory of screening provides one of the central examples and there is a section on nonsequential random search deriving from the work of Renyi. The game of Bulls and Cows provides a motivating example for both sequential and nonsequential algorithms.

A system for measuring atomic fluorescence of atoms produced via an electrically-heated graphite filament in a flame (acetylene/air or acetylene/nitrous oxide) and excited with a 300-W Eimac xenon are lamp is described. The experimental system also included wavelength modulation for background emission/fluorescence/scatter correction and an optically-triggered electronic integrator for efficient monitoring of the analyte fluorescence signal. Copper, aluminum and molybdenum were determined in jet engine lubricating oil samples (1 μl) with no pretreatment. The determinations are evaluated with respect to the accuracy and repeatability criteria of the U.S. Joint Oil Analysis Program.

Lexicographic products with high reconstruction numbers     

Richard C. Brewster  Geňa Hahn  Stacey Wynn Lamont  Chester Lipka 《Discrete Mathematics》2012,312(10):1638-1645

The reconstruction number of a graph is the smallest number of vertex-deleted subgraphs needed to uniquely determine the graph up to isomorphism. Bollobás showed that almost all graphs have reconstruction number equal to three. McMullen and Radziszowski published a catalogue of all graphs on at most ten vertices with reconstruction number greater than three. We introduce constructions that generalize the examples identified in their work. In particular, we use lexicographic products of vertex transitive graphs with certain starter graphs from the work of Myrvold and from the work of Harary and Plantholt to generate new infinite families of graphs with high reconstruction numbers. In the process, we settle a question of McMullen and Radziszowski.

A Resin‐Linker‐Vector Approach to Radiopharmaceuticals Containing 18F: Application in the Synthesis of O‐(2‐[18F]‐Fluoroethyl)‐L‐tyrosine

A Resin‐linker‐vector (RLV) strategy is described for the radiosynthesis of tracer molecules containing the radionuclide ¹⁸F, which releases the labelled vector into solution upon nucleophilic substitution of a polystyrene‐bound arylsulfonate linker with [¹⁸F]‐fluoride ion. Three model linker‐vector molecules 7 a – c containing different alkyl spacer groups were assembled in solution from (4‐chlorosulfonylphenyl)alkanoate esters, exploiting a lipase‐catalysed chemoselective carboxylic ester hydrolysis in the presence of the sulfonate ester as a key step. The linker‐vector systems were attached to aminomethyl polystyrene resin through amide bond formation to give RLVs 8 a – c with acetate, butyrate and hexanoate spacers, which were characterised by using magic‐angle spinning (MAS) NMR spectroscopy. On fluoridolysis, the RLVs 8 a , b containing the longer spacers were shown to be more effective in the release of the fluorinated model vector (4‐fluorobutyl)phenylcarbamic acid tert‐butyl ester ( 9 ) in NMR kinetic studies and gave superior radiochemical yields (RCY≈60 %) of the ¹⁸F‐labelled vector. The approach was applied to the synthesis of the radiopharmaceutical O‐(2‐[¹⁸F]‐fluoroethyl)‐L ‐tyrosine ([¹⁸F]‐FET), delivering protected [¹⁸F]‐FET in >90 % RCY. Acid deprotection gave [¹⁸F]‐FET in an overall RCY of 41 % from the RLV.
