Stereoselective Synthesis of Cyclopropanes via Homoallylic Participation

Tetsuya Nagasawa, Yasuhiko Handa, Yuka Onoguchi, and Keisuke Suzuki*


Illustration

, -Dimethyl homoallyl alcohols, upon conversion to the corresponding triflate, undergo smooth cyclization to give cyclopropanes in a selective and stereospecific manner. Various functionalities could be introduced at the -position of the newly formed cyclopropane ring. Alternatively, a treatment of the reaction mixture with triethylamine effects the clean elimination of a triflic acid to give high yields of 2-propenyl cyclopropanes, which are convertible to cyclopropyl methyl ketones by ozonolysis.

Near-Threshold Photodissociation of C2 H2 , C2 HD, and C2 D2 Studied by H(D) Atom Photofragment Translational Spectroscopy

Steven H. S. Wilson, Claire L. Reed, David H. Mordaunt, Michael N. R. Ashfold, and Masahiro Kawasaki*,

The photodissociation dynamics of predissociated C2 H2 ( A1 Au ) was studied by high-resolution time-of-flight spectroscopy. The bond-dissociation energies of C-H and C-D for C2 HD and C2 D2 were determined. The photofragment C2 H/C2 D (X2 + ) is internally excited. The average internal excitation of the photofragment is shown to scale linearly with the excess energy of the photodissociation.

Adsorption of Adenine, Adenosine, and Adenosine Nucleotides on Nickel(II) Hexacyanoferrate(II)

Sushama Viladkar,* Rachana Agarwal, and Kamaluddin

Adsorption studies of nucleosides nucleotides on nickel(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) have shown typical Langmuir-type adsorption isotherms. The observed adsorption trend is: 5' -ATP<5' -ADP<adenine>5' -AMP<adenosine . Infrared spectral studies of adsorption adducts indicate that adsorption of biomolecules could have taken place via complex formation. We propose that such simple adsorption processes could have prevented the degradation of biomolecules in the chemical evolution on the primitive earth.

Alcoholysis of Epoxides Catalyzed by Tetracyanoethylene and Dicyanoketene Acetals

Yukio Masaki,* Tsuyoshi Miura, and Masahito Ochiai


Illustration

Tetracyanoethylene and dicyanoketene acetals were found to catalyze alcoholysis of epoxides in good yields. The favorable chemoselectivity without cleavage of tetrahydropyranyl ether and ethylene acetal groups were demonstrated. A novel regioselectivity associated with anchimeric assistance of the ethereal group in the side chain was observed in the ring opening reaction of terminal and 1,2-disubstituted epoxides.

Lipase-Catalyzed Practical Synthesis of ( R )-1-Benzyl-3-hydroxy-2,5-pyrrolidinedione and Its Related Compounds

Hiroshi Tomori, Kuniko Shibutani, and Katsuyuki Ogura*


Illustration

A practical synthesis of (R )-1-benzyl-3-hydroxy-2,5-pyrrolidinedione was developed by lipase PS-catalyzed hydrolysis of its acetate. This reaction proceeds smoothly in an aqueous dioxane with a high enantioselectivity (E>3000 ). This methodology is applicable to the kinetic resolution of 3-hydroxypyrrolidines and 3-hydroxypiperidines.

Synthesis of 10-Cyanoverticillene and Its Reactions Directed toward the Verticillol Synthesis

Tadahiro Kato,* Takumi Hirano, Masahiro Hoshikawa, and Tadao Uyehara


Illustration

Directed toward the synthesis of verticillols, 10-cyanoverticillene was settled as a key intermediate. Bond formation of cyano chloride to the key compound with lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide at 60 °C proceeded smoothly with moderate yield. The NOE experiment indicates that it possesses the same stereostructure as in the case of verticillol, in which C1-C2 bond takes an axial orientation.

Analysis of Facilitated Oxygen Transport in a Liquid Membrane of Hemoglobin

Xue-si Chen, Hiroyuki Nishide,* and Eishun Tsuchida*


Illustration

Oxygen permeation through a liquid membrane containing bovine hemoglobin (Hb) was measured by the electrochemical reduction of the permeated oxygen. The oxygen permeation was facilitated (facilitation factor ca. 10). It was analyzed by a dual-mode model to give the diffusion coefficient of the mobile oxygen-carrier Hb and the solution-diffusion coefficient of oxygen.
