摘要:
The readily available sodium chlorate is an interesting ionic compound because, although achiral, it forms optically active crystals. When unperturbed, an aqueous solution of sodium chlorate yields a random distribution of + and - crystals on evaporation. Some chiral perturbations profoundly alter this distribution, however. These include seeding, the addition of the optically active cosolutes D-mannitol and D-sorbitol, and the energetic and chiral beta particles and positrons. The chiral weak interaction inherent in all atomic nuclei and thus atoms and molecules does not alter the distribution of + and - crystals. Stirring during evaporation, an achiral perturbation, affects the distribution of crystals in a given crystallization;when crystals from a large number of experiments are considered, however, the distribution of + and - crystals is random.

[GRAPHICS] We report a method for the synthesis of chiral cyclopentanes using tin-lithium exchange and cycloalkylation reactions. The sec-butyllithium/(-)-sparteine-mediated deprotonation of an alkyl carbamate and subsequent substitution furnishes a highly enantioenriched stannane as a stable carbanion equivalent. It was transformed into suitable cyclization precursors, which underwent tin-lithium exchange and stereoselective cycloalkylation when reacted with n-butyllithium, giving highly enantioenriched cyclopentanes in very good yields. A kinetic resolution was observed with a higher substituted stannane.
摘要:
4'-Substituted nucleoside analogues have been synthesized using palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination conditions. A kinetic discrimination between the diastereomeric lactol acetates (3) produced the desired aminated products (6a-d) and recovered acetate (alpha-3) in high yields and <97:3 diastereoselectivity. Epimerization of the recovered lactol acetate (alpha-3) produced a 60:40 alpha/beta mixture of (3), which could be resubjected, in principle, to the palladium-catalyzed asymmetric allylic amination conditions.
摘要:
Esters of three types of silylated alpha-amino acids have been prepared from appropriate zirconaaziridines. Slow addition (syringe pump) of the (R,R) carbonate of transstilbene gave metallacycles with the maximum possible diastereomeric excess (as determined by the diastereomeric excess produced by the Hoffmann test-the same reaction but with racemic carbonate). Methanolysis gave esters (RO2C)CH(R')(NHPh) (R' = Me3Si, Me3SiCH2, and p-Me-3-SiC6H4) with the same optical purity at the alpha carbon.
摘要:
The first application of metalloenamines derived from N-sulfinyl imines is reported for the highly diastereoselective addition to aldehydes. Reduction of the beta-hydroxy-N-sulfinyl imine products with catecholborane and LiBHEt3 provides syn- and anti-1,3-amino alcohol derivatives, respectively, with very high diastereomeric ratios.
摘要:
We report practical methodology for the catalytic, asymmetric synthesis of beta-lactams resulting from the development of a catalyzed reaction of ketenes (or their derived zwitterionic enolates) and mines. The products of these asymmetric reactions can serve as precursors to a number of enzyme inhibitors and drug candidates as well as valuable synthetic intermediates. We present a detailed study of the mechanism of the beta-lactam forming reaction with proton sponge as the stoichiometric base, including kinetics and isotopic labeling studies. Stereochemical models based on molecular mechanics (MM) calculations are also presented to account for the observed stereoregular sense of induction in our reactions and to provide a guidepost for the design of other catalyst systems.
