Regioselectivity
Kinds of Regioselectivity Selected AbstractsSynthesis of Hafnacyclopentanes from Hafnocene Alkyne Complexes: Influence of Styrene Substituents on the C,C Coupling RegioselectivityEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 11 2009Torsten Beweries Abstract The alkyne complex rac -(ebthi)Hf(,2 -Me3SiC2SiMe3) (1)[ebthi = 1,2-ethylene-1,1,-bis(,5 -tetrahydroindenyl)] reacts with styrene and p -(trifluoromethyl)styrene to give hafnacyclopentanes 2 and 3, respectively. C,C coupling proceeds in different ways: whereas for complex 2 a hafnacyclopentane with substituents in the ,,,-position is formed, in the latter case only ,,, coupling was observed. Complexes 2 and 3 can be activated with B(C6F5)3 to form active catalysts for the polymerization of ethylene.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

The expected classic 1,2-addition product and that derived from O -alkylation have been obtained in a relative molar ratio dependent on the substituent on the phenyl ring. Bis(2-benzothiazolyl) aryl carbinols, the classic 1,2-addition products to the carbonyl group of 1, were obtained in high yield through an alternative synthetic route that permitted the limit imposed by O - vs. C -alkylation competition to be overcome. [source] Regioselectivity of Friedländer Quinoline Syntheses,EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 10 2008Claas Lüder Diedrich Abstract Optically active, bicyclic ketones were submitted to Friedländer quinoline syntheses with 2-aminobenzaldehyde to yield regioisomeric linear or angular products. When starting from trans -configured ketones, the linear products are the major isomers (ratios ranging from 76:24 to >98/2). With cis -configured ketones the angular products are predominantly formed, although with lower regioselectivity.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2008) [source] Theoretical and Experimental Study of the Regioselectivity of Michael AdditionsEUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY, Issue 2 2004David C. Chatfield Abstract Nucleophilic attack at an ,,,-unsaturated carbonyl moiety usually results in conjugate addition at the ,-carbon atom (1,4 or Michael addition) or, occasionally, in addition at the carbonyl carbon atom (1,2 addition). Recently, however, addition at the ,-carbon atom has been observed when strongly electron-withdrawing groups are positioned at the carbon atom , relative to the carbonyl group [e.g., methyl 3,3-bis(trifluoromethyl)propenoate (8) and ethyl 3-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)propenoate (24)]. We have performed theoretical calculations [HF/6,31+G(d) and B3LYP//HF/6,31+G(d)] for the addition of cyanide anion to model ,,,-unsaturated carbonyl compounds to determine trends in the regioselectivity with respect to properties of the substituents. The difference between the reaction barriers for ,- vs. ,-addition decreases as the strength of electron-withdrawing groups increases until, for sufficiently strong electron-withdrawing groups, ,-addition becomes favored. The calculations are in agreement with the experimental results. We show that the regioselectivity can be predicted from partial atomic charges and properties of the frontier orbitals of the reactants. We also report new experimental evidence of ,-addition to polysubstituted cinnamates and cinnamaldehydes. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

A preference for the (S)- or (S,S)-enantiomers of styrene oxide, 2-methylstyrene oxide and trans -stilbene oxide was established, with E -values of 43, 160 and 2.9, respectively. Monitoring of the pre-steady-state phase of the reaction with (S,S)-2-methylstyrene oxide revealed two observed rates for alkylenzyme formation. The slower of these rates showed a negative substrate concentration dependence, as did the rate of alkylenzyme formation in the reaction with the (R,R)-enantiomer. Such kinetic behavior is indicative of an additional, off-pathway step in the mechanism, referred to as hysteresis. On the basis of these data, a kinetic mechanism that explains the kinetic behavior with all tested substrates transformed by this enzyme is proposed. Regioselectivity of StEH1 in the catalyzed hydrolysis of 2-methylstyrene oxide was determined by 13C-NMR spectroscopy of 18O-labeled diol products. The (S,S)-enantiomer is attacked exclusively at the C-1 epoxide carbon, whereas the (R,R)-enantiomer is attacked at either position at a ratio of 65 : 35 in favor of the C-1 carbon. On the basis of the results, we conclude that differences in efficiency in stabilization of the alkylenzyme intermediates by StEH1 are important for enantioselectivity with styrene oxide or trans -stilbene oxide as substrate. With 2-methylstyrene oxide, slow conformational changes in the enzyme also influence the catalytic efficiency. [source] Epoxidation of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Double Bonds by Dioxirane Reagent: Regioselectivity and Lipid Supramolecular OrganizationHELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 10 2006Stanislav Abstract The use of dimethyldioxirane (DMD) as the epoxidizing agent for polyunsaturated fatty acids was investigated. With fatty acid methyl esters, this is a convenient method for avoiding acidic conditions, using different solvents, and simplifying the isolation procedures, with less contamination due to by-products. The reagent was also tested with free fatty acids in water. In this case, the supramolecular organization of fatty acids influenced the reaction outcome, and the epoxidation showed interesting regioselective features. The CC bonds closest to the aqueous-micelle interface is the most favored for the interaction with dimethyldioxirane. The preferential epoxidation of linoleic acid (=,(9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienoic acid) to the 9,10-monoepoxy derivative was achieved, with a high yield and 65% regioselectivity. In case of arachidonic acid (=,(5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoic acid) micelles, the regioselective outcome with formation of the four possible monoepoxy isomers was studied under different conditions. It resulted to be a convenient synthesis of ,cis -5,6-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid' (=,3-[(2Z,5Z,8Z)-tetradeca-2,5,8-trienyl]oxiran-2-butanoic acid), whereas in reverse micelles, epoxidation mostly gave ,cis -14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (=,(5Z,8Z,11Z)-13-(3-pentyloxiran-2-yl)trideca-5,8,11-trienoic acid). [source] Reusable Gold(I) Catalysts with Unique Regioselectivity for Intermolecular Hydroamination of AlkynesADVANCED SYNTHESIS & CATALYSIS (PREVIOUSLY: JOURNAL FUER PRAKTISCHE CHEMIE), Issue 17 2009Antonio Leyva Abstract Two gold(I) phosphine complexes bearing the low-coordinating bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imidate ligand, namely AuSPhosNTf2 and AuPPh3NTf2, are active catalysts for the regioselective intermolecular hydroamination of both internal and terminal alkynes under mild reaction conditions. The catalysts show a regioselectivity based on electronic rather than steric factors, which allow the preferential synthesis of regioisomers opposite to those described previously. This subtle chemo- and regioselectivity depends on the catalyst, substrates and reaction conditions employed, and allows one to perform new tandem reactions. These gold(I) complexes operate under free-solvent conditions, without exclusion of air, without addition of acidic promoters and can be quantitatively recovered and reused by simple precipitation in hexane. [source] Remote Interactions Explain the Unusual Regioselectivity of Lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia toward the Secondary Hydroxyl of 2,-DeoxynucleosidesCHEMBIOCHEM, Issue 4 2006Iván Lavandera Dr. Abstract Lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia (PCL) surprisingly favors acylation of the secondary hydroxyl at the 3,-position over the primary hydroxyl at the 5,-position in 2,-deoxynucleosides by up to >98:1. Catalytically productive tetrahedral intermediate analogues for both orientations were found by molecular modeling. However, acylation of the 3,-hydroxyl places the thymine base in the alternate hydrophobic pocket of PCL's substrate-binding site where it can hydrogen bond to the side-chain hydroxyls of Tyr23 and Tyr29 and the main chain carbonyl of Leu17. Conversely, acylation of the 5,-hydroxyl leaves the thymine base in the solvent where there is no favorable binding to the enzyme. We propose that these remote stabilizing interactions between the thymine base and PCL's substrate-binding site stabilize the 3,-acylation transition state and thus account for the unusual regioselectivity.
