Boron-Based Diastereomerism and Enantiomerism in Imine Complexes , Determination of the Absolute Configuration at Boron by CD Spectroscopy

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 31 2008
Manfred Braun
Abstract Boron turns out to be a stable stereogenic center in imine complexes of aryl and alkyl boronates. Diastereomerically pure complexes 7a,c are obtained from chiral imine ligands 5a,b that are derived from the amino alcohol (R)- 4. The configuration at the boron atom is determined by crystal structure analyses. Racemic boronates 10a,c, available from a condensation of aryl boronic acids 6 with the achiral imine ligand 9, can be separated into stable enantiomers by HPLC on a chiral column. The racemization barrier ,G, has been determined to amount to 105,115 kJ,mol,1. The comparison of calculated and measured CD spectra permits to assign unambiguously the absolute configuration to boron in the enantiomeric boronate-imine complex 10a.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Tetra- tert -butyltrioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonadienedicarboxylic Acid: Optical Resolution, Absolute Configuration and Application in Chiral Discrimination

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 19 2008
Jennifer Kremsner
Abstract The enantiopure bridged bis-dioxine 4, a dissymmetric dicarboxylic acid exhibiting axial chirality, can easily be synthesized and serve as host for separating and/or transporting chiral guest molecules. Racemic 4 gives with (R)- and (S)-1-phenylethylamine the corresponding pure diastereomeric salts 7 and 8. The absolut configuration of the diacid 4 in the diastereomeric salt 7 containing (R)-1-phenylethylamine was confirmed to be R by X-ray crystal structure analysis, which also confirmed its concave nature. Release of the acid-sensitive pure enantiomers (R)- 4 as well as (S)- 4 was achieved conveniently by use of dry flash-chromatography on silica. The CD spectrum shows a positive Cotton effect of the (S)-enantiomer at 206 nm. The enantiomeric purity was proved by 1H NMR discrimination of the diastereomeric salts with (R,R)-1,2-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-diamine as the base. The dicarboxylic acid (R)- 4 can be used as chiral auxiliary as demonstrated by the difficult resolution of racemicN,N,-di- tert -butyl-1,2-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)ethane-1,2-diamine 9.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Synthesis and Absolute Configuration of (+)-Pseudodeflectusin: Structural Revision of Aspergione B

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 21 2006
Fumiyo Saito
Abstract We report herein the total synthesis and determination of the absolute configuration of (+)-pseudodeflectusin. The total synthesis of (+)-pseudodeflectusin starting from o -anisic aid was achieved in 11 total steps with an overall yield of 2.0,%. The 1H- and 13C NMR spectroscopic data of our synthetic pseudodeflectusin was identical to that of the natural compound. The absolute configuration of (+)-pseudodeflectusin was determined by chiral HPLC and X-ray crystallographic analyses. We also synthesized the proposed structure of aspergione B, whose 1H- and 13C NMR spectroscopic data is identical to that of pseudodeflectusin. The 1H- and 13C NMR spectra of our synthetic aspergione B were different from those of the natural compound reported by Proksch et al. Our results confirm that aspergione B and pseudodeflectusin are, in fact, the same compound.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2006) [source]


First Asymmetric Synthesis and Determination of the Absolute Configuration of a Lignan Isolated from Virola sebifera

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2005
Dieter Enders
Abstract The first asymmetric synthesis of a lignan isolated from the seeds of Virola sebifera, one of the most widely spread Myristicaceae species in Brazil, in four steps (48,% overall yield) and with excellent stereoselectivity (de, ee , 96,%) is described. The key step is the asymmetric Michael addition of a lithiated enantiopure ,-amino nitrile to an enone, followed by ,-methylation and cleavage of the amino nitrile. The absolute configuration of the naturally occurring 1,4-diketone was determined by polarimetry as well as by CD spectroscopy and quantum chemical calculations. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

,N-Stereogenic Quaternary Ammonium Salts' from L -Amino Acids: Synthesis, Separation, and Absolute Configuration

HELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 4 2009
Hua-Fang Wu
Abstract Diastereoisomeric linear and cyclic ,N-chiral quaternary ammonium salts' (QASs) were efficiently synthesized from corresponding L -amino acids in high yields. The diastereoisomers of each pair of ,N-chiral QASs' were successfully separated. The absolute configurations of these QASs were determined predominately by X-ray single-crystal analysis. The 1H-NMR data of ,N-chiral QASs' provided characteristic information on the configuration of the N-chiral center. ,N-Chiral QASs' exemplified by [N(R)]- 2a and [N(S)]- 2a are stable in protic and aprotic solvents within a broad pH and temperature range.

Synthesis of Enantiopure Sulfonimidamides and Elucidation of Their Absolute Configuration by Comparison of Measured and Calculated CD Spectra and X-Ray Crystal Structure Determination

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 2 2010
Christin Worch
Abstract Straightforward syntheses of enantiopure N -benzoyl- and N - tert -butyloxycarbonyl-protected sulfonimidamides, which can be used as building blocks in newly designed catalysts, are presented. Key synthetic step is a dynamic resolution of a racemic sulfinic acid sodium salt. All subsequent transformations proceed stereospecifically. The absolute configurations at the sulfur atoms of both sulfonimidamides were determined by comparison of measured and calculated CD spectra. An X-ray crystal structure determination of a sulfonimidoylguanidine derivative confirmed this result. [source]

New Macrocycles with Planar Chirality,Synthesis and Determination of Absolute Configurations

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 16 2006
Jaros, aw Kalisiak Dr.
Abstract A versatile system for preparing macrocyclic compounds with planar chirality is presented. In this system chiral diazacoronands are synthesized readily from lariat-type diesters 13 and 14 and unsymmetrical diamines 7, 8, 12, 15, and 16 under non-high-dilution conditions. The title compounds were subjected to structural analysis by X-ray crystallography and circular dichroism spectroscopy, and absolute configurations for two representative examples (compounds 2 and 3) were assigned by molecular modeling. The correctness of the theoretical approach was verified by the crystallographic results obtained experimentally. [source]


Absolute configuration of eremophilane sesquiterpenes from Petasites hybridus: Comparison of experimental and calculated circular dichroism spectra

CHIRALITY, Issue 3 2010
Antje Bodensieck
Abstract In-depth conformational analyses of 10 known eremophilane (= (1S,4aR,7R,8aR)-decahydro-1,8a-dimethyl-7-(1-methylethyl)napththalene) sesquiterpenes, 1,10, from Petasites hybridus were performed with molecular mechanics as well as density functional theory methods. Electronic transition energies and rotational strengths of these eight eremophilane lactones and two petasins were calculated by time-dependent density functional theory (B3PW91/TZVP). The absolute configurations of the constituents could be assigned by comparison of their simulated and experimental circular dichroism (CD) spectra in methanol as (4S,5R,8S,10R) (1, 2), (2R,4S,5R,8S,10R) (3, 4, 5), (2R,4S,5R,8R,9R,10R) (6), (2R,4S,5R,8R,10R) (7, 8), and (3R,4R,5R) (9, 10). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction data of 8,-hydroxyeremophilanolide ((8S)-8-hydroxyeremophil-7(11)-en-12,8-olide) (1) served as starting point for the theoretical conformational calculations of the 8,-epimers of the eremophilane lactones. Experimental CD spectra as well as 1H NMR spectra of compound 1 in methanol were considerably dependent on sample concentration. Chirality, 2010. © 2009 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source]

Absolute configuration and conformational analysis of a degradation product of inhalation anesthetic Sevoflurane: A vibrational circular dichroism study

CHIRALITY, Issue 8 2002
Feng Wang
Abstract 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy)-3-methoxypropane, compound B, is a product obtained in the degradation of the anesthetic Sevoflurane. Enantiopure (+)- B was investigated using vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). Experimental absorption and VCD spectra of (+)- B in CDCl3 solution in the 2,000,900 cm,1 region are compared with the ab initio predictions of absorption and VCD spectra obtained from density functional theory using B3LYP/6-31G* basis set for different conformers of (S)-1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoro-2-(fluoromethoxy)-3-methoxypropane. This comparison indicates that (+)- B is of the (S)-configuration in CDCl3 solution, in agreement with previous literature results. Our results also indicate that this compound adopts six predominant conformations in CDCl3 solution. Chirality 14:618,624, 2002. © 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc. [source]


Enzyme-Catalysed Synthesis and Absolute Configuration Assignments of cis -Dihydrodiol Metabolites from 1,4-Disubstituted Benzenes

CHEMISTRY - A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, Issue 20 2007
Derek
Abstract A series of ten cis -dihydrodiol metabolites has been obtained by bacterial biotransformation of the corresponding 1,4-disubstituted benzene substrates using Pseudomonas putida UV4, a source of toluene dioxygenase (TDO). Their enantiomeric excess (ee) values have been established using chiral stationary phase HPLC and 1H,NMR spectroscopy. Absolute configurations of the majority of cis -dihydrodiols have been established using stereochemical correlation and X-ray crystallography and the remainder have been tentatively assigned using NMR spectroscopic methods but finally confirmed by circular dichroism (CD) spectroscopy. These configurational assignments support and extend the validity of an empirical model, previously used to predict the preferred stereochemistry of TDO-catalysed cis -dihydroxylation of ten 1,4-disubstituted benzene substrates, to more than twenty-five examples.
