Tetraaza-2,2′-biphenylophanes: larger is not always more flexible. The role of intramolecular H-bonding in polyazamacrocycles
2002
Abstract Intramolecular H-bonding can explain the trends in conformational flexibility for tetraaza-2,2′-biphenylophanes obtained by NMR and molecular dynamics calculations.
Experimental and theoretical study of stereoelectronic and H-bond control of reactivity in α- and β-methyl d-glucopyranoside ozonolysis
1998
Abstract The topography of the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) of α and β anomers of methyl d -glucopyranosides has been used to analyze the reactivity of these species towards electrophilic attack and to complete the results we obtained during the ozonation reaction. Molecular mechanics (MM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations have been performed to screen the conformational space of α- and β-methyl d -glucopyranosides in order to determine the chair conformations which correspond to a global minimum energy conformation. Density Functional Theory (DFT) (Faststructure) and PM3 (semiempirical) calculations have been carried out to refine the geometries of the 4 C 1 and 1 C 4 chai…
A Dendrimer Chiroptical Switch Based on the Reversible Intramolecular Photoreaction of Anthracene and Benzene Rings
2010
A series of Fréchet-type dendrimers with 9-benzyloxymethylanthracene cores were synthesized and characterized. The chiral source for the dendrimers was an (S)-2-methyl-1-butoxy group in the 3-position of the benzene ring. Irradiation at 366 nm of a dilute benzene solution led to the formation of two diastereomers (1:1) through a quantitative intramolecular [4pi+4pi] cycloaddition between the central anthracene ring and the neighboring benzene ring. The process can be reversed with 254 nm UV light or heat. The benzene rings in the dendrons work as a light-harvesting system. The optical rotation values measured for the reversible process showed fatigue resistance. Thus, a promising new type o…
Organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of quinolizidine alkaloids (+)-myrtine, (-)-lupinine, and (+)-epiepiquinamide
2011
The organocatalytic synthesis of quinolizidine alkaloids (+)-myrtine, (-)-lupinine, and (+)-epiepiquinamide is described. It involved, as the key step, an enantioselective intramolecular aza-Michael reaction (IMAMR) catalyzed by Jorgensen catalyst I, affording the common precursor with high enantioselectivity. This compound was subsequently transformed into the three alkaloids in a highly diastereoselective manner. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A New Entry to the Substituted Pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinoline Derivatives of Biological Interest by Intramolecular Heteroannulation of Internal Imines.
2004
New 1,3,4-substituted pyrrolo[3,2-c]quinoline derivatives were synthesised in good yields by oxidative heteroannulation of internal imines starting from easily prepared substituted 5-(2-aminophenyl)pyrroles and commercially available aryl and heteroaryl aldehydes. The reaction occurs as a one-pot process involving an intramolecular acid catalysed reaction.
Total Synthesis of epi-Trichosetin.
2018
The natural 3-decalinoyltetramic acid epi-trichosetin was synthesized in ten steps starting from ( R)-(+)-citronellal using an intramolecular Diels-Alder reaction and a Lacey-Dieckmann cyclization as the key steps. The use of a 2-nitrobenzyl protecting group resulted in an efficient synthetic endgame. The natural product was obtained in 4.1% overall yield.
Asymmetric Intramolecular Aza-Michael Reaction in Desymmetrization Processes. Total Synthesis of Hippodamine and epi-Hippodamine
2015
The use of chiral sulfinyl amines both as nucleophilic nitrogen sources and chiral inducers has been described for the first time in a desymmetrization-type process involving an intramolecular aza-Michael reaction. The resulting product was employed as an advanced intermediate in the total synthesis of the natural product hippodamine and epi-hippodamine, taking advantage of the special symmetry of these molecules. In addition, this is the first asymmetric total synthesis of epi-hippodamine.
Proton tautomerism in 2-nitramino-C-nitropyridine derivatives - Experimental and quantum chemical study
2019
Abstract The structures of 2-nitramino-3-nitropyridine and 2-nitramino-5-nitropyridine have been characterized by X-ray diffraction and Density Functional Theory (DFT) studies. In the crystals, both compounds exist as the imino forms. The DFT calculations were performed in order to explore the amino-imino tautomerism of the studied compounds in the gas phase and the influence of solvent polarity on the tautomeric equilibrium. The Harmonic Oscillator Model of Aromaticity index (HOMA) and Nucleus Independent Chemical Shift (NICS) calculated for the pyridine rings of the studied systems, demonstrated a noticeable decrease in aromaticity of the imino forms. This study showed also that the highe…
How Hydrogen Bonds Affect Reactivity and Intervalence Charge Transfer in Ferrocenium‐Phenolate Radicals
2016
The ferrocenyl-phenol 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(ferrocenylcarbamoyl)phenol (H-1) forms intramolecular hydrogen bonds which are absent in its constitutional isomer 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-(ferrocenylcarbamoyl)phenol (H-2). Their corresponding bases 1– and 2– show intra- and intermolecular NH···O hydrogen bonds, respectively. The phenolate 1– is reversibly oxidized to 1·, whereas 2– only undergoes a quasi-reversible oxidation to 2·, which suggests a higher reactivity. The radical pools of 1· and 2· formed by the oxidation/deprotonation of H-1 and H-2 have been probed by (rapid-freeze) electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and by spin-trapping techniques to elucidate the types of radicals …
Tetrathiafulvalene-Polychlorotriphenylmethyl Dyads: Influence of Bridge and Open-Shell Characteristics on Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties
2017
Three conjugated donor-π-acceptor radical systems (1 a–1 c) were prepared by bridging a tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) electron-donor unit to a polychlorotriphenylmethyl (PTM) electron-acceptor radical through vinylene units of different lengths. The dependence of the intramolecular charge transfer on the length of the conjugated bridge has been analyzed by different electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques. Linear optical properties and the second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) response of these derivatives have been computed by comparing systems 1 a–1 c with the non-radical analogues (2 a–2 c). Interestingly, an enhanced NLO response is predicted for dyads 1 a–1 c with PTM in the radical for…
