ChemInform Abstract: Aldol Reactions with Erythrulose Derivatives: Stereoselective Synthesis of Differentially Protected syn-α,β-Dihydroxy Esters.
2010
Boron enolates of 1-O-silylated erythrulose 3,4-acetonides prepared with Brown's chloro-dicyclohexylborane/tertiary amine system have been shown to react with achiral aldehydes in a highly stereoselective way to yield a 1,2-syn/1,3-syn stereoisomer. Through oxidative cleavage of the aldol adducts with periodic acid hydrate, enantiopure syn-α,β-dihydroxy esters with either hydroxyl group differently protected have been prepared. These erythrulose derivatives therefore behave as a chiral hydroxy acetate (glycolate) enolate equivalent.

A controlled and versatile NCA polymerization method for the synthesis of polypeptides
2013
A versatile and simple methodology for the preparation of well-defined polyglutamate nanocarriers is described. For the first time ammonium salts with non-nucleophilic tetrafluoroborate anions are used as initiators for the ring opening polymerization of alpha-N-carboxyanhydrides (NCAs) allowing a multigram scale polyglutamate synthesis with defined molecular weight (up to 800 units), low polydispersity (<1.2), controlled chain end functionality and adequate stereoselectivity and absence of any trace of toxic impurity to allow biomedical applications.
ChemInform Abstract: Stereocontrolled Approach to δ- and γ-Lactones and 1,3-Diols. The Role of X- Ion in the Selenolactonization.
2010
Abstract Two complementary approaches have been realized for the stereoselective synthesis of 4,6-disubstituted δ-lactones and 1,3- anti and syn diols. In the 6- endo selenolactonization the role of the X − ion on the stereoselectivity is shown. Moreover, the highly stereoselective transformation of the 6- endo δ-lactone to the 5- exo γ-lactone is reported.
Mg/BOX complexes as efficient catalysts for the enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to β-trifluoromethyl-α,β-unsaturated ketones and their…
2021
Abstract Magnesium (II)-BOX complexes catalyze the enantioselective Michael addition of malonates to β-trifluoromethyl enones and their N-sulfonyl imines to give ketones or (E)-enamines bearing a trifluoromethylated stereogenic center, respectively, with good yields and high enantiomeric excesses. Magnesium complexes proved to be more active and stereoselective than zinc and copper analogues in these reactions.
Understanding the stereoselectivity in Brønsted acid catalysed Povarov reactions generating cis/trans CF3-substituted tetrahydroquinolines: a DFT stu…
2016
The Bronsted acid (BA) catalysed Povarov reactions of (E)-1-phenyl-N-(4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl) methanimine with 1-vinylpyrrolidin-2-one (VPO) and with allyltrimethylsilane (ATMS), affording CF3-substituted cis/trans tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) derivatives, have theoretically been studied using the M06-2X functional together with the standard 6-31G(d) basis set. These BA catalysed Povarov reactions are multistep processes initialised by the nucleophilic attack of the non-substituted carbon atom of the nucleophilic ethylene on the imine carbon atom of the super-electrophilic protonated imine, yielding the corresponding cationic intermediate along the endo/exo stereoisomeric approach mode. Upo…
An Unprecedented Iridium(III) Catalyst for Stereoselective Dimerisation of Terminal Alkynes
2008
A novel iridium(III) hydride complex, IrHCl(TIMP 3 ) {HTIMP 3 = tris[1-(diphenylphosphino)-3-methyl-lH-indol-2-yl]methane) was prepared and fully characterized in both the solid state and in solution. Chloride abstraction by silver cations provides a more reactive compound, [IrH-(TIMP 3 )][BF 4 ], which can react with pyridine (py) and phenylacetylene to yield the complexes [IrH-(TIMP 3 )(py)][BF 4 ] and [Ir(PhCH=C-CH=CHPh)-(TIMP 3 )][BF 4 ], respectively. Interestingly, IrH-(TIMP 3 )(py)][BF 4 ] efficiently catalyses the stereoselective dimerisation of model terminal alkynes to the 1,4-disubstituted (E)-but-1-en-3-yne only.
Dodecyloxy-substituted 2,4,6-tris(styryl)pyridines
2008
(E,E,E)-2,4,6-Tris(styryl)pyridines 2a-c with 3, 6 or 9 dodecyloxy substituents were prepared by the highly stereoselective condensation reaction of collidine (8) and the corresponding phenyl-(1-phenyl-methylidene)amines 7a-c (Siegrist reaction). In contrast to the corresponding compounds with a benzene or a 1,3,5-triazine core, 2a-c do not show any hints for the formation of thermotropic liquid crystals. The major application of such star-shaped systems is in the field of nonlinear optics.
Synthesis of vinca alkaloids and related compounds LX. A simple transformation of apovincamine into vincamine
1992
Abstract The 15α-chloro-vincamine derivative 2 was prepared and proved to be key intermediate of a two-step transformation of apovincamine into vincamine. The structure of 2 was established via detailed NMR and X-ray investigations.
A doubly bridged isodicyclopentadienyl zirconium complex: bis{N-(3,5-dimethylphenyl)-N-[(η5-isodicyclopentadien-2-yl)dimethylsilyl]amido-κN}zirconium…
2002
Transmetallation of the dilithium salt of (3,5-dimethyphenylamino)(isodicyclopentadienyl)dimethylsilane by treatment with zirconium tetrachloride in a 2:1 ratio leads to the substitution of all four chloride ligands. With the applied stoichiometry, the title complex, [Zr(C(20)H(25)NSi)(2)].C(4)H(10)O, was obtained and crystallized from diethyl ether. X-ray diffraction characterization showed that both isodicyclopentadienyl ligands (alternatively called 4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-4,7-methano-1H-indene) are complexed to the metal on their exo face in a completely stereoselective manner and that they are eta(5)-bonded to the Zr atom.
