Structural and spectroscopic study of the Br2...3-Br-pyridine complex by DFT calculations.
2007
Abstract The structure and the Raman vibrational spectrum of the complex Br 2 ⋯3-Br-pyridine are determined by DFT calculations using different parametrizations. The calculations are performed taking into account the effects of the dichloromethane as solvent by the CPCM method. A value of 39 kJ mol −1 for the formation enthalpy and of 1 kJ mol −1 for the formation free energy at room temperature in presence of the solvent is found. The predicted Raman spectrum is compared with the experimental one and the essential features of the spectrum are well reproduced by the B3LYP parametrization. The intensity changes of the bands when going from the free moieties to the complex are also generally …
Determination of the Relative Stereochemistry of Flexible Organic Compounds by Ab Initio Methods: Conformational Analysis and Boltzmann-Averaged GIAO…
2002
Ab initio calculations at the Hartree-Fock level with full-geometry optimization using the 6-31G(d) basis set, and GIAO (gauge including atomic orbitals) 1 3 C NMR chemical shifts, are presented here as a support in the study of the stereochemistry of low-polar organic compounds having an openchain structure. Four linear stereoisomers, fragments of a natural product previously characterized by experimental 1 3 C NMR spectra, which possesses three stereogenic centers, 11 carbon atoms, and 38 atoms in total, were considered. Conformational searches, by empirical force-field molecular dynamics, pointed out the existence of 8-13 relevant conformers per stereoisomer. Thermochemical calculations …

Structure-Activity Relationships of Histamine Analogues, XXIV: Absolute Configuration and Histamine-Type Activity of the Enantiomers of 4-(2-Aminopropyl)-5-methylimidazole The resolution of 4-(2-aminopropyl)-5-methylimidazole (1), the determination of the absolute configuration and the histamine-type activity of the enantiomers on the guinea pig ileum (H1) and atrium (H2) are reported.
Rearrangement of 4,5-epoxy-9-trimethylsilyldecalines. Application to the synthesis of the natural eremophilane (-)-aristolochene.
2006
Several 4,5-epoxy-9-trimethylsilyl-eudesmanes and 15-nor-eudesmanes, having different relative stereochemistry and substitution at the oxirane ring, have been prepared starting from (-)-carvone and subjected to acid-promoted rearrangement. The presence of the silicon at C9 favors two different main reaction pathways involving C14-methyl or C1-methylene migration through the stabilization of a C10 carbocation intermediate. Selective 1,2-migration of the bridgehead methyl group takes place with trisubstituted beta-epoxide and tetrasubstituted alpha-epoxide, yielding 4-hydroxy-eremophilane and 15-nor-eremophilane compounds, while the trisubstituted alpha-epoxide suffers successive rearrangemen…
Cobalt bis(dicarbollides)(1-) covalently attached to the calyx[4]arene platform: the first combination of organic bowl-shaped matrices and inorganic …
2005
Various calix[4]arene and resorc[4]arene ionic compounds substituted by cobalt bis(dicarbollide) anions (1) have been prepared for the first time. From tBu-calix[4]arene (A) the complete series of mono-, di-, tri- and tetrasubstituted derivatives bearing one to four cluster anions on the lower rim (3-6) have been obtained in the form of their alkali-metal salts by O-alkylation with the 1-dioxane derivative [8-O(CH2CH2)2O(+)-1,2-C2B9H10)-(1',2'-C2B9H11)-3,3'-Co] (2), all of which are syn or cone isomers. In contrast, disubstitution of the dipropyl ether of tBu-calix[4]arene (B) led to a mixture of the cone and 1,3-alternate conformers 7a and 7b, respectively. Starting from tetrapropoxy-calix…
New Strategy for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Fluorinated β-Amino Acids
2002
Racemic and chiral nonracemic alpha-substituted and alpha-unsubstituted beta-fluoroalkyl beta-amino acid derivatives 6 and 9 have been synthesized in two steps starting from fluorinated imidoyl chlorides 1 and ester enolates. This approach is based on the chemical reduction of previously obtained gamma-fluorinated beta-enamino esters 4 by using ZnI(2)/NaBH(4) in a nonchelated aprotic medium (dry CH(2)Cl(2)) as the reducing agent. A metal-chelated six-membered model has been suggested to explain the stereochemical outcome of the reduction reaction. The process takes place with high yields and with moderate to good diastereoselectivity. The best results related to diastereoselective reduction…
Ab initio calculations and vibrational spectroscopy on the phenylenediamine isomers
1998
Molecular orbital calculations at HF and MP2 levels have been performed using the 6-3IG** basis set for full geometry optimization of the phenylenediamine isomers. Our results show that only a transoid conformer is found for o-phenylenediamine, whereas cis and trans conformers exist for m- and p-phenylenediamine. Vibrational normal modes have been also analyzed for the gas phase and in chloroform solution, and compared with experimental data we have obtained using FTIR spectroscopy. © 1998 Elsevier Science B.V.
Supramolecular PEG-co-oligo(p-benzamide)s prepared on a peptide synthesizer.
2007
An automated synthesis protocol has been developed for the preparation of oligo(p-benzamide)s on solid support using a commercial peptide synthesizer employing a variation of standard Fmoc chemistry. Bis(trichloromethyl carbonate) in NMP was used to activate the aromatic carboxylic acids for acylation of secondary aromatic amines on solid support. N-Protected hepta(p-benzamide) was automatically prepared on solid support and manually converted to a solid supported block co-oligomer by attaching a poly(ethylene glycol) chain. Cleavage from the support could be achieved with minimal loss of the p-methoxybenzyl N-protective group. While the N-protected block co-oligomer was molecularly dissolv…
The negatively charged amino acids in the lumenal loop influence the pigment binding and conformation of the major light-harvesting chlorophyll a/b c…
2008
AbstractThe major chlorophyll (Chl) a/b complexes of photosystem II (LHCIIb), in addition to their primary light-harvesting function, play key roles in the organization of the granal ultrastructure of the thylakoid membranes and in various regulatory processes. These functions depend on the structural stability and flexibility of the complexes. The lumenal side of LHCIIb is exposed to broadly variable pH environments, due to the build-up and decay of the pH gradient during photosynthesis. Therefore, the negatively charged amino acids in the lumenal loop might be of paramount importance for adjusting the structure and functions of LHCIIb. In order to clarify the structural roles of these res…
Hierarchical Self-Organization of Perylene Bisimide–Melamine Assemblies to Fluorescent Mesoscopic Superstructures
2000
A series of three perylene tetracarboxylic acid bisimide dyes 3a-c bearing phenoxy substituents at the four bay positions of the perylene core were synthesized and their complexation behavior to complementary ditopic dialkyl melamines 8a-c was investigated. Binding constants and Gibbs binding energies for the hydrogen bonds between the imide and the complementary melamine moiety have been determined in several solvents by NMR and UV/Vis titration experiments with monotopic model compounds 5 and 9. The effects of the solvent polarity and specific solvent-solute interactions on the degree of polymerization of (3 x 8)n are discussed, and a general formula to estimate the chain length of [AA-BB…
