The Control of Living Anionic Polymerization by Metalloporphyrins

Hiroshi Sugimoto, Takuzo Aida, and Shohei Inoue*


Illustration

A novel method, ``high-speed living polymerization", has been realized by using aluminium porphyrin as a nucleophilic initiator in conjunction with organoaluminium or organoboron compounds as Lewis acids. This is a fascinating method which enables us to synthesize uniform molecular-weight polymers within only a few seconds. The basic concept of this method involves the coordinative activation of monomer by a Lewis acid.

Illustration

On the basis of the observation of absorption spectra of pH indicator dyes doped directly into LPD silica films, we have measured the effective acidity inside the LPD silica phases to be equivalent to pH=3.7 . The manifestation of strong acidity has been explained by the following silanol structure.

Illustration

Imbricate structures of dimers are found for crystals of nematogenic CPn OB (n=6 , 7, and 8) and 6OPCB, while smectic-like layer structures are found for those of smectogenic 7OPCB and 8OPCB. The difference is related to the different magnitudes of longitudinal dipole moments due to the direction of the carbonyloxy group.

Illustration

A polypyrrole (PPy)/poly(4-styrenesulfonate) composite film electrode, which was formed electrochemically in optimized conditions, showed good Nernstian responses only to monovalent cations. This potential response was influenced by both the electroactivity of the PPy and the content of the sulfonate group in the PPy matrix.

(-)-1-[4-(nitrophenylthio)ethyl]ferrocene, (+)-1-[4-(nitrophenylthio)ethyl]ruthenocene, and (+)-1-[4-(nitrophenylthio)ethyl]osmocene are shown to have the absolute configuration of R . These compounds were prepared by substitution of (R )-(-)-1-(hydroxyethyl)ferrocene, -ruthenocene, and -osmocene with 4-nitrobenzenethiol, showing that the substitution proceded with retention of configuration.

Extraction of Alkali Metal Picrates with Benzo-18-crown-6 into Various Organic Solvents. Fundamental Equilibria which Govern the Highest Extraction Selectivity for K+ among Alkali Metal Ions

Yasuyuki Takeda,* Atsuhiro Kawarabayashi, Keiko Takahashi, and Yoshihiro Kudo


Illustration

Ion-pair formation constants in water of 1 : 1 : 1 benzo-18-crown-6 (B18C6)-alkali metal (Na, K, Rb) picrate complexes were determined at 25 °C by solvent extraction. The overall extraction equilibrium constants were analyzed by four underlying equilibria. The fundamental equilibria which govern the highest extraction selectivity of B18C6 for K+ among the alkali metal ions are completely elucidated.

Illustration

Amorphous n -C24 H50 prepared by vacuum deposition onto low-temperature substrates has disordered intra- and intermolecular conformations.

The Crystal Structures of 2-Aminoperimidine

Takashi Yokoyama,* Tohru Masuo, Haruo Akashi, and Michio Zenki


Illustration

The structures of both 2-perimidinylammonium (PDA) bromide and PDA ethyl sulfate were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffractometry. The dimer of PDA was observed in both crystals. The fact that PDA is an excellent precipitant for the sulfate ion is attributed to the hydrogen-bonding of the dimer with the sulfate ion.

Formation of diastereomers of - and -[Co(en)3 ]3+ was investigated in aqueous chiral-electrolyte solutions using 59 Co NMR spectroscopy. The differences in the 59 Co NMR parameters between the enantiomers of the complex cations were related to the extent of the ion-pair formation with chiral anions.

Transfer of 2-Aminoethanethiolate (aet) from Nickel(II) to Cobalt(III) Coordination Sphere. Synthesis, Crystal Structure, and Some Properties of an S-Bridged Trinuclear Complex [Ni{Co(aet)2 (en)}2 ]4+

Takumi Konno,* Jinsai Hidaka, and Ken-ichi Okamoto


Illustration

A novel S-bridged CoIII NiII CoIII trinuclear complex, [Ni{Co(aet)2 (en)}2 ]4+ ( 1 ), is produced from the easy reaction of [CoCl2 (en)2 ]+ and [Ni(aet)2 ] in water. 1 selectively forms the racemic compound of (C2 -cis (S )) (C2 -cis (S )) and (C2 -cis (S )) (C2 -cis (S )) isomers. The H2 O2 oxidation of 1 causes the cleavage of the Ni-S bonds to give the mononuclear sulfinato complex, C2 -cis (S )-[Co(NH2 CH2 CH2 SO2 -N ,S )2 (en)]+ ( 2 ). 1 and 2 are optically resolved and their structures are characterized by a combination of X-ray diffraction and absorption, CD, and NMR spectra.

Reactions of Sulfoxides with Magnesium Amides. Transformation of Sulfoxides into Sulfides, Dithioacetals, and Vinyl Sulfides

Kazuhiro Kobayashi,* Masataka Kawakita, Kouichi Yokota, Tohru Mannami, Koji Yamamoto, Osamu Morikawa, and Hisatoshi Konishi


Illustration

Reactions of sulfoxides with magnesium amides generated from EtMgBr and secondary amines gave sulfides, dithioacetals, and/or vinyl sulfides depending upon the structure of the starting sulfoxides. The pathways leading to products involving the formation of the sulfur-stabilized carbonium ion intermediates are discussed.

Syntheses of Azulene Analogues of Triphenylmethyl Cation: Extremely Stable Hydrocarbon Carbocations and the First Example of a One-Ring Flip as the Threshold Rotation Mechanism for Molecular Propellers

Shunji Ito, Noboru Morita, and Toyonobu Asao*


Illustration

A series of azulene analogues of triphenylmethyl cation (tri(1-azulenyl)methyl, di(1-azulenyl)phenylmethyl, and (1-azulenyl)diphenylmethyl hexafluorophosphates) were synthesized by hydride abstraction from the corresponding methane derivatives with DDQ. The dynamic stereochemistry of these cations was studied based on the temperature dependent 1 H NMR spectra, which were analyzed by a flip mechanism.

Reactions of (2,4,6-Tri- t -butyl)thiobenzaldehyde with Diazo Compounds. Synthesis and Reactions of Sterically Congested Thiiranes

Soichiro Watanabe, Takayuki Kawashima, Norihiro Tokitoh, and Renji Okazaki*


Illustration

Sterically congested thiiranes having the 2,4,6-tri-t -butylphenyl (=Ar ) group were synthesized by reactions of (2,4,6-tri-t -butyl)thiobenzaldehyde with sterically hindered diazo compounds. The desulfurization, thermolysis, and photo-reaction of these sterically congested thiiranes were performed, and some unique products, for example, vinyl substituted Dewar benzene derivatives, were obtained.

Eisuke Kaji,* Eiko Matsui, Mie Kobayashi, and Shonosuke Zen


Illustration

- D -ManNAc-(14)- - D -Glc-(12)- L -Rha, an anomerically modified trisaccharide component of the capsular polysaccharide of Streptococcus pneumoniae type 19F, has been synthesized stereoselectively in 5.6% yield over 13 steps from D -glucose.

Optically Active N , N' -Bis(3-oxobutylidene)diaminatomanganese(III) Complexes as Novel and Efficient Catalysts for Aerobic Enantioselective Epoxidation of Simple Olefins

Takushi Nagata,* Kiyomi Imagawa, Tohru Yamada, and Teruaki Mukaiyama


Illustration

Optically active N ,N' -bis(3-oxobutylidene)diaminatomanganese(III) complexes efficiently catalyzed aerobic enantioselective epoxidation of simple olefins. Several unfunctionalized olefins, such as cis - -substituted styrene derivatives, were led to the corresponding epoxides with good-to-high enantioselectivities. The key intermediate of the aerobic asymmetric epoxidation is also discussed.

Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of the Anti-Platelet Activating Factor, 4-Thiazolidinones, Using Silyl Derivatives of 2-Mercaptoalkanoic Acids

Yoo Tanabe,* Hitomi Okumura, Masaki Nagaosa, and Masanari Murakami


Illustration

The cyclo-condensation [piperidine, Ti(OR)4 , Al(OR)3 , and tetrabutylammonium fluoride catalysts] between silyl derivatives of 2-mercaptolkanoic acids and arylmethyleneamines proceeded with high stereoselectivity (cis /trans =50/1-1/25) to give alternatively both the cis -and trans -4-thiazolidinones, some of which are known as anti-platelet activating factor-active drugs.

Reactivities of Stable Rotamers. XXXV. Diazotization of 2-(1,4-Dimethyl-9-triptycyl)-2-methylpropylamine Rotamers

Michinori ki,* Yasushi Taguchi, Tsutomu Miyasaka, Mika Kitano, Shinji Toyota, Toshimasa Tanaka, Katsumi Yonemoto, and Gaku Yamamoto


Illustration

Diazotization of ap - and sc -2-(1,4-dimethyl-9-triptycyl)-2-methylpropylamines was carried out to find that the ap form gave an olefin, whereas the sc form did a cyclized compound as a major product. The new cyclic compound was identified by an independent synthesis.

Generation and Reactions of Trifluoroacetimidoyl Radicals

Yasufumi Dan-oh, Hirokazu Matta, Junko Uemura, Hisayuki Watanabe, and Kenji Uneyama*


Illustration

Some indole and quinoline derivatives were produced from N -aryltrifluoroacetimidoyl radicals which were generated by three different methods: a tin-radical promoted reaction and the photochemical homolysis of the imidoyl iodides, and the thermal homolysis of imidoylazo-compounds.
