A comparison of phototautomerism in different sites of free-base porphin (H2P) in n-alkane crystals

Selective laser-induced phototautomerism of free-base porphin in different n-alkanes (n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, nnonane, n-decane, n-undecane and n-dodecane) has been used to identify tautomer splittings in a number of sites in polycrystalline samples at 2 K. Pairs or lines arising from the two molecular orientations in each site can be reversibly transformed into each other. In the odd n-alkanes the occupation of different sites was not dependent on the rate at which the samples were frozen, but in the even n-alkanes metastable sites were only occupied following rapid quenching.

Synthesis of Oligosaccharides Designed to form Micelles,Corresponding to Structures Found in Ovarian Cyst Fluid

ABSTRACT

The syntheses of α-D-GlcpNAc-(1→4)-β-D-Galp-(1→4)-β-D-GlcNAc-(1→O)-(CH₂)₁₅CH₃ (1) and fragments thereof, corresponding to structures found in human ovarian cyst fluid, are described. Silver triflate promoted coupling of 3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl bromide (12) and galactose acceptor (11) gave a disaccharide donor (13), which was readily transformed into the corresponding bromo-derivative 18. For the synthesis of disaccharide β-D-Galp-(1→4)-D-GlcNAc, several differently protected glucosamine acceptors were prepared. It was found that cetyl alcohol needed to be introduced after the formation of the β-galactoside bond. Glycosylation of pent-4-enyl 3,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-tetrachlorophthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (30) with (3,4,6-tri-O-acetyl-2-azido-2-deoxy-α-D-glucopyranosyl)-(1→4)-2,3,6-tri-O-benzoyl-α-D-galactopyranosyl bromide (18) by use of silver triflate as promoter gave the desired trisaccharide 31. Finally 31 was transformed via coupling to the long alkyl chain aglycon and deprotection into the title compound 1.     

Ab Initio Study of Structures,Metallotropic 1,2-Shifts and Prototropic 1,2-Shifts of Cyclopentadienyl(trimethyl)silane, -germane and -stannane

Molecular structures, metallotropic and prototropic shifts of cyclopentadienyl(trimethyl)silane ( 1 ), cyclopentadienyl(trimethyl)germane ( 2 ), and cyclopentadienyl(trimethyl)stannane ( 3 ) were investigated using ab initio molecular orbital and the Becke, Lee, Yang, and Parr density functional (B3LYP) methods. The results show that the most stable structure of compounds 1-3 has the (CH 3 ) 3 M fragment in the allylic position. The energy barrier of metallotropic shifts in compound 1 is higher than in 2 , and in compound 2 higher than in 3 , in good agreement with experimental data. The cyclopentadienyl rings in compounds 1-3 are found to be planar but this result contradicts the reported experimental data.     

Density Functional Theory Study on the Adsorption of Dioxygen on Small Pt-Pd Clusters

1 INTRODUCTION The bimetallic nanoclusters are of standing inte- rest since they can exhibit catalytic, electronic and optical properties distinct from those of corre- sponding pure nanoclusters[1～4]. Palladium and pla- tinum, well known for their catalytic properties, are often used as the catalyst in different fuel cells[5～8]. Several experimental results illustrate that for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which is one of the primary reactions taking place in many fuel cells and…     

Experimental and DFT study of the aza-Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and protonated benzylimine derivated from glyoxylates

The Diels-Alder reaction of protonated N-benzyl imine of methyl glyoxylate with cyclopentadiene in different solvents gave mixtures of exo/endo adducts. The exo/endo selectivity of the reaction was elucidated by NMR experiments. Theoretical calculations by means of density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level have also been performed to elucidate the molecular mechanism of this reaction. The DFT results suggest a highly asynchronous concerted mechanism, which in turn can explain the preferred exo stereoselectivity of the reaction. Inclusion of solvent effects enhances the exo selectivity, and this effect increases with the polarity of the solvent, in good agreement with the experimental findings.

Theoretical Study on the Hetero-Diels-Alder Reactions between 3-Pyridinedithioesters and 1-Phenylsulfanylbutadiene

The mechanism, catalytic effect and solvent effect of the hetero-Diels-Alder reac- tions between 3-pyridinedithioesters and 1-phenylsulfanylbutadiene have been studied theoretically using density functional theory (DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The results show that all of these reactions proceed in a concerted but asynchronous way. In some reactions the formation of C-S bond is prior to that of C-C bond and the opposite results are found in other reactions. The BF3 catalyst may lower the activation barriers by changing the energies of LUMO for 3-pyridine- dithioester. THF solvent has trivial influence on the potential energy surface of these reactions. With the BF3-catalyzed reactions, regioselectivity and stereoselectivity observed experimentally were predicted correctly by calculations and these results originate probably from C-H···F interaction in two transition states.
