ChemInform Abstract: Carbohydrates as Chiral Templates: Diastereoselective Synthesis of N- Glycosyl-N-homoallylamines and β-Amino Acids from Imines.
Complexing properties and chirality of carbohydrates were utilized in diastereoselective reactions of 0-pivaloylated N-galactosylimines with allylsilanes and -stannaries. With dyltrimethylsilane in the presence of SnCl4, imines 2 of aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes were converted to homdylamines 3, giving ratios of diastereomers higher than 7:1. No addition products derived from α-anomeric aromatic imines were formed. Aliphatic homdylamines 3 were synthesized by using allyltributylstannane in the presence of SnCl4. Both α- and β-anomeric aliphatic imines reacted with the allylstannane. They gave the same ratio of diastereomers and showed the same sense of asymmetric induction.
Synthesis and Magnetic Properties of Novel Azamacrocyclic LnIII, CuII, FeIII, and SrII Complexes and Conformational Analysis of the Ligands
Hexaalkoxy-substituted azamacrocyclic metal complexes 1 · MXn [MXn = FeCl3, CuCl2, SrCl2, Ln(NO3)3; Ln = La, Pr, Eu, Ho, Er] with various chain lengths were prepared by a convergent approach using 1,2-bisalkoxy-4,5-diamines 3 and 4-alkoxy-pyridine-2,6-dicarbaldehydes 4 as key building blocks for template-assisted cyclocondensation. Metal complexes 1 · MXn were considered as potential metallomesogens. However, differential scanning calorimetry and optical polarizing microscopy of 1 · MXn did not reveal any mesomorphism. The magnetic susceptibility shows deviation from Curie-like behavior. Due to ligand field effects the effective magnetic moments are a function of the temperature. In order t…
