Organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of trifluoromethyl-containing tetralin derivatives by sequential (hetero)Michael reaction–intramolecular n…
2017
The enantioselective synthesis of tetralin derivatives bearing a trifluoromethylated all‐carbon quaternary stereocenter has been accomplished through a synthetic sequence comprising an organocatalytic β‐functionalization of ortho‐1‐trifluoromethylvinyl‐(hetero)aromatic conjugated aldehydes followed by the intramolecular nitrone 1,3‐cycloaddition reaction (INCR). Both nitromethane and N‐Cbz‐hydroxylamine were employed as nucleophiles in the initial organocatalytic conjugate addition step, which provided the chiral information required for the subsequent diastereoselective INCR. Although diastereoselectivity was moderate, good yields and enantioselectivities were, in general, obtained. Intere…
Base-Dependent Stereodivergent Intramolecular Aza-Michael Reaction: Asymmetric Synthesis of 1,3-Disubstituted Isoindolines
2013
The nucleophilic addition (A(N)) / intramolecular aza-Michael reaction (IMAMR) process on Ellman's tert-butylsulfinyl imines, bearing a Michael acceptor in the ortho position, is studied. This reaction affords 1,3-disubstituted isoindolines with a wide range of substituents in good yields and diastereoselectivities. Interestingly, careful choice of the base for the aza-Michael step allows either the cis or the trans diastereoisomers to be exclusively obtained. This stereodivergent cyclization has enabled the synthesis of C2-symmetric bisacetate-substituted isoindolines. In addition, bisacetate isoindolines bearing two well-differentiated ester moieties are also noteworthy because they may a…
Probing the Folding of Peptide–Polymer Conjugates Using the π-Dimerization of Viologen End-Groups
2020
The synthesis of a foldable viologen-functionalized peptide–polymer conjugate is presented. The ABA-type triblock conjugate with a PEG polymer was capped with a FHFHF pentapeptide sequence and further modified with a viologen building block at both chain ends. The pH-responsive peptide domains fold into an intermediate structure inducing close proximity of the viologen units, which upon a reduction step form π-dimers of the radical cation. Overall the intramolecular folding and intermolecular self-assembly process leads to the formation of supramolecular nanorods. Mixing of viologen-peptide–polymer conjugates with unfunctionalized conjugates leads to crosslinking of the nanorods and hydroge…
The Nonlocal Correlation Density Functional VV10
2015
Abstract In this chapter, we review the most relevant attempts to merge the Vydrov and van Voorhis nonlocal density-dependent functional kernel (VV10) with modern density functionals to accurately describe van der Waals interactions with a reasonable computational cost. The chapter is organized by providing first an introduction of the relevance of van der Waals interactions and the difficulties of common density functionals to describe these forces. Second, the historical developments that eventually give rise to the most modern formulation of the nonlocal density functional VV10 are briefly addressed. Then, an overview of its technical formulation, adjustable parameters, and implementatio…
Erweiterte Konjugation in unsymmetrischen Stilbenylsquarainen
1998
Extended Conjugation in Stilbenylsquaraines Unsymmetrical 1-aryl-3-stilbenylsquaraines 2a–e and 1,3-bis(stilbenyl)squaraines 3a–c were prepared by CC coupling reactions of the corresponding substituted arenes with derivatives of squaric acid (Schemes 2 and 3). Dialkylamino and alkoxy groups enhance the solubility of these dyes and enlarge the intramolecular charge transfer of these donor–acceptor–donor systems. The extended conjugation of the stilbene units – in comparison with arene building blocks – leads to significant bathochromic shifts in the Vis/NIR absorption spectra.

Kinetische untersuchungen zur reaktionsfähighkeit von chlormethylgruppen in methylendiphenolen
1984
The chloromethyl derivatives of 16 differently substituted methylenediphenols were synthesized for the first time. To compare their reactivity, the solvolysis in methanol and the animolysis with an excess of p-nitroaniline in dimethyl sulfoxide were studied kinetically at 25°C. The rate constants for the methanolysis do not differ very much, beside of the fact that para-chloromethyl derivatives react about 100 times faster than ortho-chloromethyl derivatives. However, for the aminolysis a large acceleration up to 103 was found for compounds having both hydroxyl groups in ortho-position to the methylene bridge. Obviously, the cleavage of the OH bond, which occurs in the rate determining step…
Herstellung, charakterisierung und lösungseigenschaften von einheitlichen styrol-α-methylstyrol block-copolymeren
1977
An improved anionic polymerization technique for the preparation of highly uniform styrene/α-methylstyrene linear two-block copolymers is described. Three sets of samples with molecular weights M were prepared under equal experimental conditions, namely polystyrenes (2 · 105 < M < 3 · 106), poly(α-methylstyrene)s (7 · 104 < M < 4 · 106), and block copolymers (2 · 105 < M < 2,5 · 106). Ultracentrifugation in a density-gradient does not show any chemical heterogeneities in the block copolymers. The molecular polydispersity U = Mw/Mn–1 is U = 0,03 or less as estimated from GPC-measurements. The high molecular and chemical homogeneity of the block copolymers and the optical similarity of the tw…

Synthesis of Natural Products By Rhodium-Mediated Intramolecular C-H Insertion
1998
The strategic advantages of the Rh-mediated intramolecular C–H insertion, which has been used as the key step in several natural product syntheses, are described here. The most recent such synthesis is the elegant route to (+)-morphine shown below.
