Structural characterization of carane derivative stereoisomers - Potent local anesthetics
The paper reports on structural investigation and phase analysis of a newly synthesized potent local anesthetic with chiral molecular structure. Absolute structure and absolute configuration on four chiral centres was determined using microcrystalline single-crystal difracti on with anomalous scattering of X-ray radiation azimuthal scan technique. Phase analysis for new compound (K P23SS) and its epimer (K P23 RS) was carried out using classical and synchrotron radiation powder difraction. Enantiopurity of the bulk material was verifed for both isomers by comparison of experimental and simulated high- resolution powder difraction diagrams. The presence of two new polymorphic phases of K P23…
Stereochemistry of terpene derivatives. Part 3: Hydrolytic kinetic resolution as a convenient approach to chiral aminohydroxyiminocaranes with local anaesthetic activity
Abstract We have developed a stereoselective hydrolytic kinetic resolution process for diastereoisomeric mixtures of epoxyiminocarene intermediates in the presence of ( R , R )-(−)-(salen)Co(III)OAc catalyst, this was applied as the first step in the synthesis of novel chiral aminohydroxyiminocarane derivatives with local anaesthetic activity. The absolute configuration of the product was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
