The first unpaired electron placed inside a C3-symmetry P-chirogenic cluster
2010
The Pd(3)(dppm*)(3)(CO)(n+) enantiomers (n = 2 (2), 1 (3)) were prepared either from (R,R)- or (S,S)-P-chirogenic bis(phenyl-m-xylylphosphino)methane (dppm*; 1) and Pd(OAc)(2) in the presence of CF(3)CO(2)H, CO and water (n = 2), and then by reductive electrolysis (n = 1). The stable enantiomeric [Pd(3)((S,S)-dppm*)(3)(CO)](+)˙ (3), is the first C(3)-symmetry radical-cation M-M bonded cluster, therefore the odd electron is delocalized onto the Pd(3) frame within this symmetry. The novel chiral species have been characterized by circular dichroism (CD) of both enantiomers of the Pd(3)(dppm*)(3)(CO)(2+) clusters (2) and by EPR spectroscopy for the Pd(3)((S,S)-dppm*)(3)(CO)(+)˙ paramagnetic co…
Macrocyclic oligoureas with xanthene and diphenyl ether units
2009
Two cyclic oligoureas with 64- and 80-membered rings in which two sets of three or four rigid xanthene (X) units are connected via flexible diphenyl ether (D) units were synthesized by a stepwise fragment condensation. The compounds were characterized by (1)H NMR and ESI mass spectrometry. The structure of the cyclic octamer (XXXDXXXD) was additionally confirmed by single crystal X-ray analysis. The molecule assumes a strongly folded conformation with distorted C(2)-symmetry, stabilized by intramolecular hydrogen bonds. Surprisingly, intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the macrocycles were not observed. (1)H NMR spectra suggest a C(2) symmetrical conformation of the octamer in solution al…
Chelate Cooperativity and Spacer Length Effects on the Assembly Thermodynamics and Kinetics of Divalent Pseudorotaxanes
2011
Homo- and heterodivalent crown-ammonium pseudorotaxanes with different spacers connecting the two axle ammonium binding sites have been synthesized and characterized by NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. The homodivalent pseudorotaxanes are investigated with respect to the thermodynamics of divalent binding and to chelate cooperativity. The shortest spacer exhibits a chelate cooperativity much stronger than that of the longer spacers. On the basis of crystal structure, this can be explained by a noninnocent spacer, which contributes to the binding strength in addition to the two binding sites. Already very subtle changes in the spacer length, i.e., the introduction of an additional…
Synthesis and molecular properties of donor–π-spacer–acceptor ynamides with up to four conjugated alkyne units
2010
A set of push-pull ynamides with up to four conjugated triple bonds has been synthesized and the molecular properties of these new carbon rods have been characterised showing effective intramolecular charge transfers and high values for the change of the electrical dipole moment after transition from the ground to the Franck-Condon excited state.
Enantioselective synthesis of fluorinated alpha-amino acids and derivatives in combination with ring-closing metathesis: intramolecular pi-stacking i…
2001
[reaction: see text]. Hydride reduction of C=N bonds stereocontrolled by intramolecular pi-stacking interactions of 1-naphthylsulfinyl and N-aryl groups, nonoxidative Pummerer rearrangement, and ring-closing metathesis are efficiently combined in a highly stereoselective entry to enantiomerically pure cyclic and acyclic fluorinated beta-amino alcohols and alpha-amino acid derivatives, respectively.
Microwave-Assisted Tandem Organocatalytic Peptide-Coupling Intramolecular aza-Michael Reaction: α,β-UnsaturatedN-Acyl Pyrazoles as Michael Acceptors
2014
Conjugated N-acyl pyrazoles have been successfully employed in the organocatalytic enantioselective intramolecular aza-Michael reaction as ester surrogates. Bifunctional squaramides under microwave irradiation provided the best results in this transformation. Furthermore, this protocol has been combined with a peptide-coupling reaction in a tandem sequence. The final products were easily converted into the corresponding ethyl esters.
Asymmetric Allylation/Pauson-Khand Reaction: A Simple Entry to Polycyclic Amines. Application to the Synthesis of Aminosteroid Analogues
2014
Asymmetric allylation of o-iodoarylsulfinylimines has been achieved in high diastereoselectivities. The thus-obtained o-iodoarylhomoallylic sulfinamides participate in a subsequent Sonogashira coupling followed by a diastereoselective intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction. In this way, tricyclic amines showing a unique benzo-fused indenyl backbone were obtained. The methodology has been applied to the synthesis of amino steroid analogues.
A Trinuclear Copper(II) Cryptate and Its μ3-CO3 Cascade Complex: Thermodynamics, Structural and Magnetic Properties
2011
The 2,4,6-triethylbenzene-capped hexaamine macrobicycle with pyridyl spacers (pyr) was able to coordinate three copper(II) ions within its cavity. Potentiometric studies performed at 298.2 K in MeOH/H(2)O (50:50 v/v) and at ionic strength 0.10 mol dm(-3) in KNO(3) revealed that trinuclear species predominate in solution from pH 5.0, the hydroxo complexes being the main species, which start forming at unusual very low pH values. The single-crystal X-ray determination of the trinuclear complex showed that the three copper centres have square-planar geometry, arranged in an almost equilateral triangle, and have carbonate bridging the three metal centres. The presence of carbonate resulted from…
Synthesis of and structural studies on lead(II) cysteamin complexes.
2004
The novel compounds PbCl(2).(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(3)) (1), Pb(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(2))(2).2PbCl(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(2)) (2), and Pb(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(2))(2) (3) were synthesized by reaction of PbO or PbCl(2) with [HSCH(2)CH(2)NH(3)]Cl and NaOH, and were characterized by elemental analysis, IR-, and UV/vis-spectroscopy. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction revealed different coordination modes for the two Pb atoms in 2. The Pb atom in the Pb(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(2))(2) unit forms two covalent Pb-S and two intramolecular dative Pb...N bonds, leading to a pseudo trigonal bipyramidal configuration with a stereochemically active lone pair. The Pb atom in the PbCl(SCH(2)CH(2)NH(2)) unit, the first moiety structurally characterized…
Unusual conformations of 1,3-dialkoxythiacalix[4]arenes in the solid state
2006
The structures of three syn-1,3-dialkoxythiacalix[4]arenes with unusual conformations in the solid state are reported. The pinched cone conformation of syn-2 2 ,4 2 -dihydroxy-1 2 ,3 2 -bis-(prop-2-enyloxy)thiacalix[4]arene, C 30 H 24 O 4 S 4 , (3a), is stabilized by two intramolecular hydrogen bonds, remarkably formed from both OH groups to the same ether O atom. In syn-22,42-dihydroxy-1 5 ,2 5 ,3 5 ,4 5 -tetranitro-12,32-bis(prop-2-enyloxy)thiacalix[4]arene acetone disolvate, C 30 H 20 N 4 O 12 S 4 ·-2C 3 H 6 O, (3b1), the molecule is found in the 1,3-alternate conformation. The crystallographic C2 symmetry is due to a twofold rotation axis running through the centre of the calixarene rin…
