 539-547  Catalytic Radical Cyclization of Oximes Induced by One-Electron Transfer
 M. Kitamura* and K. Narasaka
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  Free Access Article

Anion radicals generated by one-electron reduction of oxime derivatives act as iminyl radical equivalents. Catalytic radical cyclization of γ,δ-unsaturated oximes induced by one-electron reduction proceeds to give various aza-heterocycles.

 562-573  Acid-Catalyzed Reactions of Sarcophytoxide, a Marine Cembranoid: An Apparently Enantio-Directive Reaction, Unusual Products and Stereochemical Reconsideration of Epoxide–Ketone Rearrangement
 K. Nii, K. Tagami, M. Kijima, T. Munakata, T. Ooi, and T. Kusumi*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]  Free Access Article

Perchloric acid treatment of sarcophytoxide, a marine cembranoid possessing an epoxide, brought about epoxide–ketone rearrangement affording ketones. The stereochemistry indicated that the epoxide–ketone rearrangement took a course via a cationic intermediate.

 574-582  Inclusion of 2,4- and 2,5-Diphenyloxazole by γ-Cyclodextrin in Aqueous Solution
 S. Hamai
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

γ-CD forms a 2:1 inclusion complex with 2,4-diphenyloxazole (2,4-DPO). The addition of 1-pentanol (PeOH) to a 2,4-DPO solution containing γ-CD results in the formation of a 2:2:1 γ-CD–PeOH–2,4-DPO inclusion complex. In the presence of γ-CD, 2,5-DPO exhibits excimer fluorescence, which is due to a 1:2 and 2:2 γ-CD–2,5-DPO inclusion complexes.

 S. Tsunami, K. Tanaka, J. Matsumoto, T. Shiragami,* and M. Yasuda
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

The effects of an axial amino ligand on the spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of amino(methoxo)(tetraphenylporphyrinato)antimony(V) bromide are investigated. Both the reduction potentials and the quantum yield for fluorescence of their complexes can be controlled by proton concentration.

[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]  [Supporting Information]

A series of nickel(II) complexes supported by pyridine-containing macrocyclic ligands (LNH, LS, and LO) were prepared. Structure and physicochemical properties as well as spin-state interconversion in various solvents have been investigated.

 598-605  Synthesis, Structures, and Magnetic Properties of Doubly Face-Sharing Heterotrinuclear NiII–LnIII–NiII (Ln = Eu, Gd, Tb, and Dy) Complexes
 T. Yamaguchi, Y. Sunatsuki, H. Ishida, M. Kojima,* H. Akashi, N. Re, N. Matsumoto, A. Pochaba, and J. Mroziński
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

Heterotrinuclear [(NiIIL)2LnIII(NO3)] (Ln = Eu, Gd, Tb, and Dy) complexes were synthesized, where H3L is a tripodal ligand obtained by condensation of 1,1,1-tris(aminomethyl)ethane and salicylaldehyde (1:3), and their structures and magnetic properties were studied.

 606-616  Preparation of C-Glycoside Pendant β2- and β2,2-Amino Acids
 Y. Inaba, S. Yano, and Y. Mikata*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

Facile preparations of C-glycosyl β2- and β2,2-amino acids are described. The present procedure serves as an efficient route to C-glycosylated β-amino acids containing a non-biodegradable linkage.

 617-622  A Great Improvement of the Enantioselectivity of Lipase-Catalyzed Hydrolysis and Esterification Using Co-Solvents as an Additive
 T. Nishigaki, Y. Yasufuku, S. Murakami, Y. Ebara, and S. Ueji*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

The addition of the co-solvents such as tetrahydrofuran markedly improved the enantioselectivity (E value) in lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis and esterification. The origin of the enantioselectivity enhancement was investigated by the initial reaction rate and the results of FT-IR, CD, and ESR spectra.

 623-629  Mechanistic Study on the Base-Promoted Reaction of Allylphenylsilanes to Alkenylsilanols
 S. Imazeki,* H. Sugawara, A. Sano, and T. Akiyama
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

On treatment of allylphenylsilanes with t-BuOK and 18-crown-6 in DMSO, isomerization of the olefinic double bond and subsequent substitution of the phenyl group with a hydroxy group took place smoothly to afford alkenylsilanol derivatives in good yields. The reaction mechanism was investigated using 18O-labeled sulfoxide. We found that a (methylsulfinyl)methyl anion generated from DMSO participated in this reaction.

 630-635  Acetyl Chloride-Mediated Synthesis of trans-2-[(Diethoxyphosphorylamino)alkyl]-4-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2λ5
-dioxaphosphorinane-2-oxide

 Z. Miao,* J. Zhang, Z. Cui, and R. Chen*
[Full Text PDF(J-STAGE)]

N-Phosphoramino-protected six-membered cyclic α-aminophosphonates trans-2-[(diethoxyphosphorylamino)alkyl]-4-aryl-5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2λ5-dioxaphosphorinane-2-oxide 4a–4l were synthesized with the help of acetyl chloride. 31P NMR was used to trace the reaction process. The possible reaction mechanism was proposed and the stereochemistry of the title compounds was studied. In order to confirm the structure of 4, products 4f and 4k were recrystallized and determined by X-ray diffraction analysis.

Irradiation of 2,2-diphenyl-2H-1-benzopyran (DPBP) in the presence of amine gave an addition product. With a large excess of amine, the apparent quantum yield for product formation reached 0.5. This value corresponds to a minimal quantum yield for photocleavage of DPBP.
