    Description: Identifcation of ontogenetic age classes plays an important role in the felds of zoology, palaeontology and archaeology, where accurate age classifcations of (sub)fossil remains are a crucial component for the reconstruction \nof past life. Textural ageing\xe2\x80\x94the identifcation of age-related bone surface textures\xe2\x80\x94provides a size-independent \nmethod for age assessment of vertebrate material. However, most of the work so far is limited to qualitative results. \nWhile qualitative approaches provide helpful insights on textural ageing patterns, they are heavily subject to observer \nbias and fall short of quantitative data relevant for detailed statistical analyses and cross-comparisons. Here, we present a pilot study on the application of 3D surface digital microscopy to quantify bone surface textures on the long \nbones of the grey heron (Ardea cinerea) and the Canada goose (Branta canadensis) using internationally verifed \nroughness parameters. Using a standardised measuring protocol, computed roughness values show a strong correlation with qualitative descriptions of textural patterns. Overall, higher roughness values correspond to increased numbers of grooves and pits and vice versa. Most of the roughness parameters allowed distinguishing between diferent \nontogenetic classes and closely followed the typical sigmoidal animal growth curve. Our results show that bone \ntexture quantifcation is a feasible approach to identifying ontogenetic age classes.

    Notes: New low molecular weight gelators based on the structure R—NHCONH—X—NHCONH—R have been synthesized and tested for their ability to cause gelation of organic solvents. Compounds 2 (R = n-dodecyl, X = -(CH2)9-), 3 (R = n-dodecyl, X = -(CH2)12-), 4 (R = n-dodecyl, X = 4, 4′-biphenyl), and 5 (R = benzyl, X = -(CH2)9-) form thermoreversible gels with a wide range of organic solvents, at concentrations well below 10 mgmL-1. Depending on the nature of the R and X groups, the solvents that undergo gelation include hexadecane, p-xylene, 1-octanol, n-butyl actetate, cyclohexanone, and tetralin. The gels are stable up to temperatures well above 100°C, but are easily disrupted by mechanical agitation. Light microscopic investigations revealed that compounds 2-5 spontaneously aggregate to form thin flat fibers, which can be several hundreds of micrometers long and only 2-10 μm wide. Depending on the solvent, multiple twists in the fibers are observed. In the gels, these fibers form an extended three-dimensional network, which is stabilized by multiple mechanical contacts between the fibers. Electron microscopy and X-ray powder diffraction revealed that the fibers consist of stacks of sheets. The thickness of the sheets is 3.65 and 3.85 nm for 2 and 3, respectively. Scanning tunneling microscopic investigations of 2 absorbed on graphite showed that 2 forms long ribbons with a width of 5.0 nm. In the ribbons the molecules have a parallel arrangement, with the long molecular axis perpendicular to the long ribbon axis. The two urea groups within a given molecule are each part of mutually parallel extended chains of hydrogen bonds. Based on these observations a model is proposed for the arrangement of the molecules in the fibers. In this model the bisurea molecules aggregate through hydrogen-bond formation into long ribbons, which assemble into sheets. In these sheets the ribbons are tilted. Finally, the sheets stack to form long thin fibers. This model is supported by molecular dynamics simulations.

    Notes: The stereochemical course of the formation of the two diastereomers of trimethyl 2,2′,2″-nitrilotris[2-(benzoylamino)acetate], 2a and 2b, is described. The structures of both isomers were confirmed by X-ray diffraction studies. Diastereomer 2b could be obtained in larger quantities by epimerisation of 2 a to 2 b with catalytical amounts of NaOMe. The (RRR/SSS)-triester 2 b is a suitable template for the synthesis of tripodal peptide bundles. Saponification of 2 b yielded the C3-symmetrical racemic triacid 4 b, which was coupled with amino acid methyl esters and dipeptide esters to give pseudo-hexapeptides and pseudo-nonapeptides, respectively. The resulting mixtures of diastereomers were easily separated by crystallisation. Their absolute configuration at the template unit (RRR or SSS) was established by means of the CD spectra. The pseudo-hexapeptide (SSS)N(BzGly*ValOMe)3 (14) was saponified to yield the optically pure triacid (SSS)N(BzGly*ValOH)3 (23). Compound 23 is an ideally preorganised template for the production of longer tripodal peptides. This was illustrated by the synthesis of two pseudo-pentadecapeptides. Peptide bundles with polar side chains (histidine and serine) or end groups (catechol or hydroxamate units) were synthesised by using the templates 4 b, 22 and 23 as anchors.

    Notes: Calix[4]arenes diametrically substituted at the upper rim with two melamine units spontaneously form well-defined box-like assemblies in the presence of two equivalents of 5,5-diethylbarbituric acid. These assemblies, consisting of nine different components, are held together by 36 hydrogen bonds and are stable in apolar solvents at concentrations of up to 10-4M. This paper reports the first X-ray crystal structure, and the MALDI TOF mass spectra together with the complete 1H NMR spectroscopic characterization of these hydrogen-bonded assemblies. The crystal structure clearly shows that the assemblies are stereogenic, as a result of the antiparallel orientation of the two rosette motifs. Furthermore, the synthesis of twelve new 1,3-bis(melamine)calix[4]arenes carrying different numbers and types of functionalities at the upper rim is described. Detailed 1H NMR spectroscopic studies on the assembly behavior of these functionalized calix[4]arenes shows that 1) polar substituents (e.g. nitro, cyano) hardly affect the stability of the hydrogen-bonded assembly; 2) hydrogen bond donating or accepting groups, like amino and acetamido, can disturb assembly of the boxes under certain conditions by destabilizing the calix[4]arene pinched cone conformation as a result of intramolecular hydrogen bond formation; and 3) sterically bulky groups (e.g. tBu) can significantly inhibit the formation of the hydrogen-bonded assembly, but this effect very much depends on the exact positions of the groups.

    Notes: Model studies have shown that cross-link precursors, that is, intermediates in the sulfur vulcanization of rubber, are transformed into cross-links by a nonsymmetric but regioselective disproportionation mechanism. Thus, two equivalents of the crosslink precursor of the type R—S—S—X are transformed into X—S—X and the actual cross-link R—S—S—S—R. Exchange of sulfur atoms is a prerequisite. A mechanism involving an SNi′ reaction with an allylic moiety, suggested in the literature, has not been observed. The disproportionation reaction is catalyzed by rubber-soluble zinc-dithiocarbamate complexes, an important class of vulcanization accelerators. By virtue of ligand-functional-group exchange reactions these complexes serve to transport and exchange sulfur atoms.

    Notes: The title compound was prepared from the elements by reaction in a sealed tantalum tube at 1320 K followed by slow cooling to 970 K. EuAuSn crystallizes with a pronounced subcell of space group Imma (KHg2 type). Additional very weak reflections required a quintupled b axis. The superstructure was refined from single-crystal four-circle diffractometer data (Imm 2, a = 479.1(1) pm, b = 3833.6(5) pm, c = 820.1(1) pm, Z = 20, wR2 = 0.0834, 3675 F2 values and 94 variables). Six crystallographically different europium sites occur in the superstructure. Each europium site has an ordered near-neighbour environment of six gold and six tin atoms in the form of two tilted hexagons. Magnetic susceptibility measurements show Curie-Weiss behaviour above 50 K with an experimental magnetic moment of 7.6(1) μB/Eu, indicating divalent europium. EuAuSn orders antiferromagnetically at about 12 K and undergoes a metamagnetic transition at a critical field of 2.0(2) T. Electrical conductivity measurements show metallic behaviour with a room temperature value of 260 μΩcm. 151Eu and 119Sn Mössbauer spectroscopic experiments are compatible with divalent europium and show complex magnetic hyperfine field splitting at low temperature.

    Notes: The structures of H2X—Y—XH2 compounds (X = B, Al; Y = O, S) have been studied by means of ab initio calculations at the MP4/6-311 G**/MP2/6-311G** level. The potential energy surface (PES) of the aluminoxane species H2Al—O—AlH2 is rather flat: the energy differences between the various located extrema are less than 1.5 kcal mol-1, and this shows that the observed geometrical preference is not due to electronic factors. For the sulfur analogues H2X—S—XH2 (X = B, Al), three minima are located on the PES: a planar C2v structure, a Cs structure in which one hydrogen atom bridges the two X atoms, and a C2v structure with two bridging hydrogen atoms. For H2Al—S—AlH2, the Cs structure is the most stable, and the planar C2v and the dibridged structures lie 3.2 and 6.7 kcal mol-1 higher, respectively. Qualitatively similar results are obtained for H2B—S—BH2: the Cs and planar C2v structures are nearly isoenergetic, and the dibridged minimum lies 19.4 kcal mol-1 above the planar C2v minimum. These results are rationalized by analyzing the ability of these systems to bend, depending on the nature (oxygen or sulfur) of the central Y atom. The conjugation in these species is also discussed, and calculations on model systems H2X—YH (X = B, Al; Y = O, S) are presented.

    Notes: The reaction of four equivalents of the monomeric trimethoxysilyl(T)-functionalized ether-phosphine ligand CyP(CH2CH2OCH3)(CH2)3SiR3 (R = OMe [1 a(T0)], Me [1 b]) with [{μ-ClRh(COE)2}2] yielded the monomeric pseudo 14 electron rhodium(I) complexes [ClRh(PO)(P∼O)] (2a(T0)2, 2 b). For the sol-gel process the complex 2 a(T0)2 was protected by introduction of the volatile, reversibly binding ligand pyridine. Thus, the monomeric compound 2 a(T0)2 was co-condensed with two and eight equivalents of the co-condensation agent MeSi(OMe)2(CH2)6(MeO)2SiMe (D0-C6-D0) to give the polysiloxane-bound congeners 2(Tn)2(Di-C6-Di)y (y = 2 and 8, respectively; i = 0-2; n = 0-3). The polysiloxane-bound complex 2(Tn)2-(Di-C6-Di)2 was treated with a variety of small molecules in the gas/solid and liquid/solid interphases. It was shown that a facile cleavage of the Rh-O bond in the ether-phosphine chelate occurred even in the solid state. The reaction of 2(Tn)2-(Di-C6-Di)2 with carbon monoxide, carbon disulfide, and diphenylacetylene resulted in the irreversible coordination of the molecule to the metal. In the presence of pyridine, the polysiloxane-bound complex 2(Tn)2-(Di-C6-Di)2 oxidatively added hydrogen to give the octahedrally configurated complex [ClRhH2(Py)(P ∼ O)2] [6(Tn)2(Di-C6-Di)2]. Treatment of dry 2(Tn)2-(Di-C6-Di)2 with ethene led to the reversible formation of the corresponding complex. Although the materials display low surface areas, at least 75% of the rhodium centers within the matrix are accessible to the rather bulky tolan molecules. The complexes 2(Tn)2(Di-C6-Di)y (y (y = 2, 8) show high activities and selectivities in the hydrogenation of tolan. The conversion was found to depend markedly on the amount of co-condensate (D0-C6-D0) and on the polarity of the solvent. The polysiloxane-bound complexes 2(Tn)2(Di-C6-Di)y are more active than their monomeric congener 2 a(T0)2.

    Notes: The reactivity of neutral alkoxy radicals in the absence of any interfering intermolecular interactions is investigated by means of the recently introduced method of neutral and ion decomposition difference (NIDD) spectra. These are obtained from quantitative analysis of the corresponding neutralization-reionization (NR) and charge reversal (CR) mass spectra. The following trends emerge: alkoxy radicals with short (C1—C3) or branched alkyl chains give rise to α-cleavage products, whereas longer-chained alkoxy radicals undergo 1,5-hydrogen migrations from carbon to oxygen, that is, Barton-type chemistry. This facile rearrangement has been studied in detail for n-pentoxy radicals by isotopic labeling experiments and computation at the Becke 3 LYP/6-31 G* level of theory. Further, the NIDD spectra of 3-methylpentoxy radicals permit for the first time the identification of the diastereoselectivity of the gas-phase hydrogen migrations. The results from the NIDD method are compared to those from earlier studies in the condensed phase. This new mass spectrometric approach is suggested as a tool for the examination of intramolecular reactions of free alkoxy radicals which can usefully complement theoretical studies.

    Notes: The synthesis of various nonracemic diselenides by different methods is described. These diselenides are precursors for optically active selenium electrophiles. Their facial selectivity upon addition to styrene was investigated with respect to the chiral moiety neighboring the selenium. Diselenides 1 i, 1 n, and 1 v yielded addition products 7 with diastereomeric excesses up to 95%. Some diselenides, intermediates, and products of the addition reaction were investigated by 77Se NMR spectroscopy.

    Notes: 2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-Octafluoro-5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrin has been prepared from 3,4-difluoropyrrole and benzaldehyde under Lindsey conditions. An X-ray crystal structure study of its ZnII complex has shown that the macrocycle core is nonplanar, a result in apparent contradiction with a blue-shifted UV/Vis spectrum. The results reported here demonstrate that a wide range of β-octafluoro-meso-arylated porphyrins, a new class of highly electron-deficient ligands, are potentially accessible from 3,4-difluoropyrrole, thus opening the door to, inter alia, efficient and robust oxidation catalysts.

    Notes: Ba6Ni25S27, synthesized by solid-state reaction of BaS, NiS, and Ni at 675°C, is cubic (Pm3m, a = 10.057(1) Å). The structure was refined by using powder X-ray diffraction and Rietveld methods with Rp = 6.28%, Rwp = 8.13%, χ2 = 3.120. The structure, isotypic with Ba6Co25S27, consists of an extended network of Ni8S14 pseudo-cube clusters, NiS6 octahedra, and Ba6S octahedra. Extended Hückel calculations of this compound indicate the band structure near the Fermi level to be composed mostly of d-character orbitals of tetrahedral Ni, and reveal a peak in the density of states slightly below the Fermi level. The temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity exhibits a local maximum with thermal hysteresis at around 230 K. Above and below this transition, the slope of the resistivity is positive, with a room-temperature resistivity (ρ = 0.23 mωcm) in the range for that of a poor metal conductor. Magnetic susceptibility measurements from 4 to 900 K indicate a sharp change in slope at around 225 K, with a steadily increasing susceptibility up to 900 K. The susceptibility below 225 K suggests Pauli paramagnetic behavior. Low-temperature powder X-ray diffraction and subsequent structure refinement shows that the lattice parameter, a, undergoes a slight change in slope at temperatures of around 235 K.

    Notes: Electrical conductivities of hydrogen were measured recently at 93-180 GPa (0.93-1.8 Mbar), 0.28-0.36 mol cm-3, and 2000-4000 K. Shock temperatures were measured up to values of 5200 K at 0.83 Mbar. The conductivities indicate a continuous transition from a semiconducting to metallic fluid at 140 GPa and 3000 K. The results indicate that hydrogen becomes metallic much closer to the surface of Jupiter than thought previously and that Jupiter has no core-mantle boundary.

    Notes: Through the advantages conferred in the speed of synthesis, combinatorial chemistry is making a significant impact on the process of drug discovery. The mix-and-split paradigm has been an effective method for the production of compound mixtures, although there is now a need for new, fast library approaches to generate well-characterised single compounds. Having already demonstrated the successful preparation and application of library mixtures, we have now developed a novel combinatorial method for the production of single compounds.

    Notes: Very recently, methods have been developed for studying the rates of chemical reactions between electrically neutral species in the gas phase at temperatures as low as 13 K. Here we review this exciting development in gasphase chemical kinetics. Emphasis is placed on the importance of the information which the experiments have provided, both from the viewpoint of posing new questions about the factors which control chemical reactivity and because of their relevance to the modelling of molecular synthesis in interstellar clouds.

    Notes: A general, highly efficient methodology for obtaining both syn and anti β-hydroxyphosphine oxides by reduction of the corresponding β-ketophosphine oxides is described. The nature of the Lewis acid was found to be pivotal in determining the outcome of these reactions. Strongly chelating TiCl4 led to the anti isomer in high diastereoisomeric excess in noncoordinating solvents (CH2Cl2) at -78°C with BH3/py as reducing agent, while nonchelating CeCl3 gave a high excess of the syn isomer in coordinating solvents (THF) at the same temperature with LiBH4 as reducing agent. In the latter case, CeCl3 is essential in achieving high yields and stereoselectivity, since it allows the reaction to be performed at low temperatures. Otherwise, higher temperatures (0°C) are required, which lower both yields and selectivities. Moreover, each step of the protocol for the synthesis of stereodefined disubstituted olefins from alkylphosphine oxides (Warren's modification of the Horner procedure) has been optimized, and the optimized procedure has been applied to the synthesis of muscalure, the pheromone of the domestic fly.

    Notes: For structure-activity relationship studies, two series of epothilone A (1) analogues have been designed and synthesized, one containing an oxazole moiety instead of the thiazole heterocycle and the other containing a spirocyclopropane moiety in place of the gem-dimethyl group at position C-4 (4,4-ethano-epothilones). The olefin metathesis strategy in solution was utilized for the chemical synthesis of these compounds starting with key building blocks 7-9 for the oxazole series (compounds 2, 14-18, 21-26) and building blocks 8, 30, and 31 for the 4,4-ethano series (compounds 3,39-43, 46-51). The convergent strategy towards the designed epothilone A series involved a) an aldol condensation reaction, b) an esterification reaction, c) an olefin metathesis reaction catalyzed by [RuCl2(=CHPh)-(PCy3)2], and d) epoxidation of the macrocycle double bond.

    Notes: As a result of cooperative noncovalent bonding interactions (namely, π-π stacking, [CH…O] hydrogen bonding, and [CH…π] interactions) supramolecular complexes and mechanically interlocked molecular compounds - in particular pseudorotaxanes (precatenanes) and catenanes - self-assemble spontaneously from appropriate complementary components under thermodynamic and kinetic control, respectively. The stereoelectronic information imprinted in the components is crucial in controlling the extent of the formation of the complexes and compounds in the first place; moreover, it has a very significant influence on the relative orientations and motions of the components. In other words, the noncovalent bonding interactions - that is, the driving forces responsible for the self-assembly processes - live on inside the final superstructures and structures, governing both their thermodynamic and kinetic behavior in solution. In an unsymmetrical [2]catenane, for example, changing the constitutions of the aromatic rings or altering the nature of substituents attached to them can drive an equilibrium associated with translational isomerism in the direction of one of two or more possible isomers both in solution and in the solid state. Generally speaking, the slower the components in mechanically interlocked compounds like catenanes and rotaxanes move with respect to each other, the easier it is for them to self-assemble.

    Notes: The fabrication of a supported and insulated quantum wire would be of great interest, especially if electronic information could be accessed to determine charging and conductivity profiles. The feasibility of forming one-dimensional configurations of ≈ 15 nm gold colloids and 1.4 nm gold clusters via template methods of synthesis has now been demonstrated. The template host material consisted of porous alumina membranes formed by an electrochemical anodic process. The pores of the membrane, and hence the parallel pore channels, were packed in a hexagonal array. Alumina membranes are excellent template materials because of their high degree of order, thermal and chemical stability, and optical clarity. Pore diameter was controlled by regulation of the applied anodic potential (ca. 1.4 nm V-1). The pore channels were filled by one of three methods: vacuum induction (colloids only), electrophoresis (clusters only), or immersion (clusters, which were then converted into colloids by heating). Rudimentary wires consisting of colloids and clusters were successfully formed. In both cases, the diameter of the pore channel exceeded that of the clusters or colloids. The wires thus formed conformed to the pore channel by forming helical secondary structures. It was not possible to form contiguous wires of clusters by immersion, or of colloids formed from clusters after heating. Composites (consisting of the gold-alumina system) were a bright scarlet color with an absorption maximum (λmax) at 519.5 nm. This is an unexpected result for spherical and small-diameter (10 nm) gold colloids, which normally absorb at λmax 525-530 nm, a ruby-red color. Possible causes of this small but remarkable blue shift are discussed below. A new Au55 cluster ligand system consisting of a silsesquioxane-derivatized thiol is also described.

    Notes: In order to probe structure-activity relationships in the epothilone area, two series of epothilone B analogues have been designed and synthesized. The first series containing an oxazole moiety in place of a thiazole on the side chain was constructed by utilizing key intermediates 7-9 or 10, 12, and 13 (Scheme 1), whereas the second series containing an ethano group instead of the gem-dimethyl group at position 4 was synthesized from fragments 42 and 43. A Yamaguchi-type macrolactonization reaction was used to construct the macrocycle from a secoacid, which was assembled, in both cases, by means of a) an aldol reaction, b) an Enders alkylation, and c) a Wittig-type reaction. This convergent strategy provided access to oxazole analogues 2,4,29-32 and 4,4-ethano derivatives 3,40,60-63 for biological studies.

    Notes: The new coordination polymer [(Me3SnIV)3RhIII(SCN)6] = 3∞[Rh{μ-(SCNSnMe3NCS)}3] (5) is readily accessible by straightforward self-assembly of [Rh(SCN)6]3- and (dehydrated) {Me3Sn}+aq ions. The architecture of 5 is strongly reminiscent of “super-Prussian-blue” systems reported earlier: there is a three-dimensional (3-D) framework involving {Rh8} pseudocubes as the basic building blocks, the Rh3+ ions being held apart by novel, nonlinear {SCN-SnMe3-NCS} spacers (d(Rh…Rh) = 1.27 nm). The complete lattice consists of two equivalent and independent, ideally interwoven 3-D frameworks. Three homologues of 5 with slightly modified R3Sn units (R = Et, nPr and nBu) have been prepared as well, but display X-ray powder diffraction patterns notably different from that of 5.

    Notes: The electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of a pseudorotaxane formed in acetonitrile solution by self-assembly of a wire-type electron donor based on the tetrathiafulvalene unit and the cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) tetracationic electron acceptor have been investigated. We show that a) reversible dethreading/rethreading cycles of the pseudorotaxane can be performed by either oxidation and successive reduction of the electron-donor wire or reduction and successive oxidation of the electron-accepting tetracationic cyclophane, and b) because of this special behavior, the input (electrochemical)/output (absorption spectrum) characteristics of this molecular-level system correspond to those of an XNOR logic gate.

    Notes: Modified oligonucleotides incorporating trans-4-hydroxy-N-acetyl-L-prolinol (trans-4-HO-L-NAP) or its D-analogue as sugar substitute were synthesised with adenine and thymine as nucleobases. All-adenine oligonucleotides built from (2S,4S) or (2R,4R)-cis-4-hydroxy-N-acetylprolinol were likewise prepared. Hybridisation studies revealed that heterocomplexes formed between polyU and homochiral trans-4-hydroxy-N-acetylprolinol-based oligomers of the same as well as of opposite chirality (polyU/trans-DA*13 and polyU/trans-LA*13). The former, however, were triple-stranded. Other complexes with ribonucleic acids were polyA/trans-LT*13 and polyU/cis-LA*13. Heteroduplexes with deoxynucleic acids were formed between trans-LA*13 and oligothymidylate. Interaction was also observed for cis-LA*13 and oligothymidylate, but not with the D-hydroxyprolinol analogues. Microcalorimetry proved this interaction to be the formation of a triple-stranded complex. Two heteroduplexes, trans-LA*13/dT13 and trans-LA*13/polyU, had similar or slightly increased stability when compared to the natural dA13/dT13 or dA13/polyU systems. Microcalorimetry clearly indicated the formation of a duplex, in contrast to interactions with N-acetylprolinol oligonucleotides of different stereochemistry. Moreover, the enthalpy change was of the same magnitude but the association constant was slightly lower. Natural nucleic acids thus clearly prefer hybridisation with L-hydroxyprolinol oligomers over D-hydroxyprolinol oligomers. For the series investigated, the L-trans oligomers (Figure 1) seem best to mimic natural oligonucleotides. These modified oligonucleotides formed homocomplexes if both strands were of the same chirality, that is, homocomplexes formed between trans-LA* and trans-LT* and between trans-DA* and trans-DT*, reflecting the isochiral pu-py pairing found in natural nucleic acids. Once more, however, calorimetry proved these to be triplex interactions. Heterochiral pairing was not observed between modified oligonucleotides, but only between modified oligonucleotides and natural polyU. The thermal stabilities of these heterochiral complexes differed clearly.

    Notes: The reaction of methyl iodide and (excess) aryltributylstannane to give a methylarene has been studied with the focus on the realization of rapid coupling for incorporation of short-lived radionuclides into bioactive organic compounds. The coupling of methyl iodide with tributylphenylstannane (40 equiv) is accomplished in 〉90% yield within 5 min at 60°C with a tri-o-tolylphosphine-bound, coordinatively unsaturated Pd0 complex together with a CuI salt and K2CO3 in DMF. This protocol is applicable to a variety of homo- and heteroaromatic tin compounds, to give the corresponding methylated derivatives. The effects of the tri-o-tolylphosphine ligand, a Cu(I) salt, and DMF are discussed. This new protocol provides a firm chemical basis for the synthesis of 11CH3-incorporated PET tracers.

    Notes: The acid-induced ring opening of (S)-( - )-1,2-propene oxide (1S) and (R)-(+)-1,2-propene oxide (1R) has been investigated in gaseous CH4 and CH3F at 720 torr and in the presence of a nucleophile, NuOH (Nu = H or CH3). The mechanism of the ring-opening reaction has been assessed by modulating the composition of the gaseous mixture. Two reaction pathways are operative in the gas phase, both proceeding through complete inversion of configuration of the reaction center. A first process is detectable only in the CH3F/H2O systems and takes place within a persistent proton-bound complex generated by interaction of the epoxide with the CH3OH+2 ion, formed by methylation of H2O with (CH3)2F+. Such an intracomplex ring-opening pathway proceeds through proton transfer from the CH3OH+2 ion to the epoxide followed by motion of the neutral CH3OH moiety around the 1-H-oxonia-2-methyl-cyclo-propane structure (H-1R or H-1S) (k〈108 s-1) before attacking the ring carbons from the rear. In all the other systems with added CH3OH, this intracomplex pathway is preceded by a faster “extracomplex” pathway involving the attack of an external CH3OH molecule on the proton-bound adduct. The regioselectivity of the intracomplex process is similar to that of the extracomplex pathway. Both are characterized by a slight preference for the Cβ center of H-1 R (or H-1S) (extra-complex path regioselectivity: α/β = 0.72±0.05; intracomplex path regioselectivity: α/β = 0.71±0.05). The regioselectivity of H-1 R (or H-1S) is substantially different from that of the 1-Me-oxonia-2-methyl-cyclopropanes (Me-1 R or Me-1 S) toward the same nucleophile NuOH (α/β = 4.1±0.35 (Nu = H); 2.28±0.16 (Nu = CH3)). This difference is attributed to a transition structure wherein the Cα-O bond rupture increases from H-1 R (or H-1 S) to Me-1 R (or Me-1 S) and in passing from CH3OH to H2O. The regioand stereoselectivity of the gas-phase acid-induced ring opening of 1 S and 1 R are compared with those of related reactions carried out in solution.

In each case addition of the Zr-CH3 group to the isocyanate sp-carbon center is observed with formation of a functionalized zirconocene cation derivative containing a chelating N-metallated N-acetylvaline methyl ester (3a) or N-acetylvalylvaline methyl ester (3b) moiety, respectively, coordinated in the bent metallocene s̰-ligand plane. The spectroscopic data of 3, supported by an X-ray crystal structure analysis of the zirconated dipeptide derivative 3b, have revealed the presence of chelating (η1-O:η1-N)-coordination of the terminal N-acetyl groups in addition to a Zr-O=C interaction with the adjacent valyl amido group.

    Notes: 2-Methyl-1,3-dimorpholino-1,3-butadiene 1 reacted with α,β-unsaturated Fischer carbene complexes to give a wide range of different products depending on the substitution pattern. Thus, sevenmembered rings (4, 5 and 6) could be obtained from chromium complexes 2 with aromatic or vinylic groups at the β position. Similar results were observed when α-methyl-substituted carbene complex 7 a was used. Six-membered carbocycles (derivatives of cycloadducts 12 and 13) were isolated after reaction with both chromium and tungsten complexes bearing one or two alkyl groups at the β position (10 and 11). Moreover, cyclopentenones 20 were the main products when the starting carbene complexes were alkyl-substituted at both α and β positions (19a, b) or when aromatic (19c, d) instead of vinylic complexes were used. A bicyclo[4.1.0]heptene system 18 has also been obtained in the special case of reaction with β,β-dimethylvinylchromium complex 13b; its formation could be explained as a formal carbene insertion into a C-H bond. The behaviour of diene 1 towards alkoxymethylcarbene complexes 22 was unusual. The different reaction products (cyclopentadienes 23, bicyclo[3.1.0]hexenes 24, aromatic amine 25 and metallatrienes 26) imply a mechanism in which the deprotonation of the carbene complex by the diene is followed by Michael addition to the iminium salt formed.

    Notes: The ligand N,N,N',N'-tetra-ethylpyridine-2,6-dicarboxamide (L9) reacts with trivalent lanthanide ions (LnIII) to give stable mononuclear triple-stranded helical complexes [Ln(L9)3]3+ (Ln = La to Lu). The crystal and molecular structures of [La(L9)3](ClO4)3.2.5C2H5CN (8) and [Eu(L9)3](TfO)3.2THF (9) show that the three ligand strands are each meridionally tricoordinated to produce a pseudo-tricapped trigonal prismatic arrangement of the nine donor atoms (six amide O and three pyridine N) around LnIII. The distortions in the LaIII coordination sphere of 8 are more significant than for EuIII in 9, and the photophysical studies on Eu-doped (2%) La, Gd, and Lu complexes confirm a better structural match of L9 for the heavy LnIII ions. The separation of contact and pseudo-contact contributions to the induced lanthanide paramagnetic NMR shifts in [Ln(L9)3]3+ shows that the triple-helical structure is maintained in acetonitrile, but a minor structural change relative to that observed in the solid state occurs between TbIII and ErIII leading to two distinct isostructural series for Ln = La-Tb and Ln = Er-Lu. The origin of this effect together with its consequences for the dynamic helical (P→M) interconversion and stability of [Ln(L9)3]3+ in solution are discussed. A detailed investigation of the emission properties of [Ln(L9)3]3+ (Ln = Eu, Tb) shows that mixed pyridine-carboxamide ligands can be used to simultaneously optimize the structural and photophysical properties in mononuclear triple-helical lanthanide building blocks.

    Notes: Homoallyl amines were synthesized by visible-light irradiation of CdS powder in the presence of N-phenylbenzophenone imine and cyclohexene, 2,3-dihydrofuran, 2,5-dihydrofuran, 3,4-dihydropyran, 2-pentene, cyclopentene, 1-methylcyclohexene, or α-pinene. The structures of the products from the last three olefins were determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis to prove that C-alkylation of the imine had occurred. Thus, the reaction is formally an insertion of the imine into an allylic C-H bond of the olefin. It is proposed that a photogenerated electron-hole pair reduces the imine to an α-aminodiphenylmethyl radical and oxidizes the olefin with concomitant deprotonation to the corresponding allyl radical. Heterocoupling of these intermediates affords the final addition product. The overall reaction is therefore classified as type B semiconductor photocatalysis. The presence of acetic acid accelerates the reaction by rendering the reduction potential of the imine more positive. In the series 2,5-dihydrofuran/cyclopentene/3,4-dihydropyran, the decrease in apparent quantum yield with increasing driving force of olefin oxidation points to a significant contribution of secondary back electron transfer.

    Notes: N-Linked glycopeptides were synthesized by condensation of a highmannose anomeric amine bearing a pentasaccharide with aspartic-acid-containing tri- and pentapeptides through the agency of IIDQ. The pentasaccharide portion, corresponding to the „core“ region of all asparagine-linked glycoproteins, was assembled by means of glycal-derived thioethyl donors and glycal acceptors. The central mannose residue was established by inversion of the C2 hydroxyl of a glucosyl precursor in the pentasaccharide. The protecting-group scheme employed allows the extension of the pentasaccharide through the terminal mannose units. While a fully convergent coupling of the high-mannose carbohydrate to the peptide domain has thus been accomplished for the first time with a fully synthetic sugar, the stereochemical integrity of the anomeric center of the carbohydrate domain was not maintained and a mixture of glycopeptides was obtained.

    Notes: Hexitol nucleic acids (HNAs) with four natural bases form stable and sequence-selective duplexes with RNA. This was investigated by Tm determinations and gel shift experiments. The CD spectra of an HNA-RNA duplex show similarities with the CD spectra of the A-form of dsRNA. Single-stranded HNAs are able to induce strand displacement in a double-stranded RNA sequence. An HNA-RNA duplex is a poor substrate for RNase H, and can inhibit the RNase H-mediated cleavage of a natural DNA-RNA substrate. The HNA-RNA hybrid enhances the activity of HIV reverse transcriptase.

    Notes: The exchange rate of the coordinated water molecule in the neutral complex [Gd(DTPA-BBA)(H2O)] (DTPA-BBA = 1,7-bis[(N-benzylcarbamoyl)methyl]-1,4,7-triazaheptane-1,4,7-triacetate or diethylenetriaminopentaacetate N,N′-bis(benzylamide)) is slower than in the parent complex [Gd(DTPA)(H2O)]2-. From the analysis of the temperature dependence of the solvent 17O NMR transverse relaxation time in an aqueous solution of the paramagnetic complex, a value of 4.5 × 105 s-1 (at 298 K) is obtained for the exchange rate of the coordinated water molecule. This rate constant does not vary in the pH range 7-12. Conversely, over the same pH range and at 298 K and 20 MHz, the longitudinal water proton relaxivity increases from 4.8 to 6.5 s-1 mM-1. The analysis of the dependence of the longitudinal water proton relaxation rate on magnetic field and temperature at pH 7 and pH 12 shows that the increase in relaxivity at basic pH has to be assigned to the contribution of the prototropic exchange at the water molecule in the inner coordination sphere of the metal ion. This exchange process is catalyzed by OH- ions (kP = 1.7 × 109 M-1 s-1 at 298 K) and causes an increase in the observed relaxivity when it occurs at a rate larger than the exchange rate of the entire water molecule. At pH 12 the limiting effect of the slow exchange rate for the coordinated water molecule is removed, and the longitudinal water proton relaxivity measured at this pH then represents the maximum value attainable for this complex.

    Notes: Poly(triacetylene)s [PTAs, —(C≡C—CR=CR—C≡C)n-] are a new class of linearly conjugated polymers with a nonaromatic all-carbon backbone. To explore structure-property relationships in PTAs, we prepared a series of monodisperse oligomers ranging from monomer to hexamer by oxidative Glaser-Hay coupling of a bifunctional („chain-forming“) (E)-hex-3-ene-1,5-diyne in the presence of an endcapping unit. All six oligomers are amazingly stable towards exposure to light, air, and temperatures beyond their melting points. They have been fully characterized and are readily soluble in a wide range of solvents. The conjugated rods are reversibly reduced in one-electron transfer steps and cannot be oxidized below +1.23 V vs. Fc/Fc+. The effective conjugation length in PTAs was estimated from the electronic absorption (UV/Vis) data, and various evaluation methods yielded convergence of the optical properties in the range of 7 to 10 monomer units. The nonresonant second-order molecular hyperpolarizability γ was measured in CHCl3 by means of the third harmonic generation (THG) at Δ = 1.907 μm. A plot of γ/n vs. n revealed a power law γ ≈ na for γ with a fitted exponent a = 2.5 ∓ 0.1. From the THG measurements, an effective conjugation length of about 10 monomer units was found, in surprisingly good agreement with the value obtained from UV/Vis spectroscopy data.

    Notes: Ultimate success in the design of solid oxide catalysts as well as other covalently bonded or heterogenised organometallic catalysts predicates knowledge of precisely what structure it is that has to be targetted. This, in turn, demands the greatest possible precision in determining, under operating conditions, the structure of the catalyst in general and of the active site in particular. Combined X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction are ideal tools for such in situ investigations. Examples of such studies and of engineered catalysts, the structure of which have been determined in atomic detail, are given.

    Notes: Bisphosphonates 2 and 3 represent the first artificial receptor molecules for alkylguanidinium ions. They bind to the guanidinium moiety by forming a 1:1 chelate complex, stabilized by a planar network of electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonds. This hydrogen bonding configuration is identical to the „arginine fork“ postulated by Frankel as a key element in RNA-protein recognition of the AIDS virus. Our guanidinium-bisphosphonate complexes thus constitute the first synthetic model for this important biological interaction and demonstrate that the high binding energy can be a driving force for a conformational change in the receptor (induced fit, e.g., in the RNA). Although binding of monosubstituted alkylguanidines is generally strong (Ka ≈ 10 000 in DMSO), molecular tweezer 3 recognizes N- and C-amide-protected arginine derivatives especially well (Ka ≈ 300 000 in DMSO), because an additional hydrogen bond is formed between the amide and the phosphonate. Since 3 does not bind amines effectively, it is highly selective for arginine, even in the presence of lysine or other amino acids. For di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted guanidines the association constant remains low (Ka≤1000 in DMSO) reflecting the increase in the steric bulk of the guest.

    Notes: At first glance the topic of chiral dendrimers seems to be a contradiction in terms. However, recent studies reveal that both the building blocks of the dendrimer and the overall dendritic architecture can be chiral and that chirality can be introduced at various levels. The expression of optical activity in these enantiomerically pure dendrimers as a result of conformational (dis)order has proven to be of special interest. In this Concepts article we present the different approaches to introducing chirality in dendritic architectures, organized through their possible impact in fields such as biocompatibility, catalysis, molecular recognition, and surface chemistry. Also, the relation between molecular chirality of core or building block and the macroscopic chirality of dendritic objects is discussed.

    Notes: A molecular modeling tool for the rational design of E-selectin antagonists based on the lead structure sialyl Lewisx has been developed. The binding affinity to the receptor is considerably influenced by the entropy and consequently by the antagonist's ability to place its pharmacophores in an optimal spatial arrangement, i.e., by its preorganization for binding. The computational model assesses the preorganization of a potential selectin antagonist with the aid of Monte Carlo (jumping between wells)/stochastic dynamics [MC(JBW)/SD] simulations. The model has been validated by correlating preorganization and bioactivity of several selectin antagonists. The results suggest that only preorganized compounds are likely to bind to E-selectin.

    Complex Formation of the Antiviral 9-[2-(Phosphonomethoxy)Ethyl]Adenine (PMEA) and of Its N 1, N 3, and N 7 Deaza Derivatives with Copper(II) in Aqueous SolutionAbbreviations and definitions: 2′-AMP2-, adenosine 2′-monophosphate; 3′-AMP2-, adenosine 3′-monophosphate; ATP4-, adenosine 5′-triphosphate; M2+, divalent metal ion; PA2- = PME2-, PMEA2-, and its twofold negatively charged deaza derivatives; R-PO2-3, simple phosphate monoester or phosphonate ligand with R representing a noncoordinating residue (see also Figure 1); TuMP2-, tubercidin 5′-monophosphate (=7-deaza-5′-AMP2-). Although the IUPAC nomenclature for the deazaadenine compounds is 3H-imidazo[4,5b]pyridine-7-amine (1-deazaadenine), imidazo[4,5c]pyridine-4-amine (3-deazaadenine), and pyrrolo[2,3d]pyrimidine-4-amine (7-deazaadenine), the trivial names and the numbering system for purines are retained in the present study to facilitate the comparison with the parent compound, PMEA2-, and other adenine derivatives. For example, 1-deaza-PMEA is thus named 9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethyl]-1-deazaadenine. In mathematical expressions and tables, 1-, 3-, and 7-deaza-PMEA are written as 1d-, 3d-, and 7d-PMEA. In the text the expression „PMEAs“ encompasses PMEA as well as its three deaza derivatives. Species written without a charge either do not carry one or represent the species in general (i.e., independent of their protonation degree); which of the two possibilities applies is always clear from the context.

    Notes: The stability constants of the 1:1 complexes formed between Cu2+ and the anions of the N 1, N 3, and N 7 deaza derivatives of 9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)-ethyl]adenine (PA2-), Cu(H;PA)+ and Cu(PA), were determined by potentiometric pH titration in aqueous solution (25 °C; I = 0.1 M, NaNO3) and compared with previous results for 9-[2-(phosphonomethoxy)ethyl]adenine (PMEA2-) and (phosphonomethoxy)ethane (PME2-). A microconstant scheme reveals that in Cu(H;PA)+ Cu2+ is coordinated to the nucleobase, H+ being at the phosphonate group, in about 90% of the Cu(H;PMEA)+ and Cu(H;1-deaza-PMEA)+ species, but only in about 37% and 12% of the corresponding complexes with H(3-deaza-PMEA)- and H(7-deaza-PMEA)-, respectively. Straight-line plots of log KCuCu(R-PO3) versus pKHH(R-PO3) for simple phosph(on)ate ligands show that all the Cu(PA) complexes, including those with PMEA2- and PME2-, are more stable than expected simply from the basicity of the -PO2- group; to some extent five-membered chelates (Cu(PA)cl/O) involving the ether oxygen of the -CH2-O-CH2-PO2-3 chain are formed, and in all complexes an additional nucleobase-metal-ion interaction occurs. Based on 1H NMR line-broadening measurements and structural considerations it is concluded that in Cu(3-deaza-PMEA) the interaction occurs with N7 whereas in Cu(7-deaza-PMEA), Cu(1-deaza-PMEA), and Cu(PMEA) it occurs with N3. The proof of a metal ion-N3 interaction is important (and also of relevance regarding DNA) because so far this interaction has received little attention. In all Cu(PA) systems three major isomeric species are in equilibrium; for example, 17(∓3)% of Cu(PMEA) exists as an isomer with a sole Cu2+-phosphonate coordination, 34(∓10)% as Cu(PMEA)cl/O, and in 49(∓10)% the Cu2+ is bound to the phosphonate group, the ether O, and N3. In contrast, 54(∓8)% of Cu(5′-AMP) occurs as an isomer with sole Cu2+-phosphate coordination and 46(∓8)% as a macrochelate involving N7 too.

    Notes: [Cp*Mo(NO)(CH2SiMe3)2] exhibits three principal types of reaction with the various lithium reagents investigated during this study, namely: regioselective deprotonation, reduction, and addition. Deprotonation of the reactant, achieved by treatment with lithium amide reagents, leads ultimately to the formation of the alkylidene „ate“ complex [Cp*Mo(NO)(CH2SiMe3)2(=CHSiMe3)]2-[Li2(thf)3] (1). While LiN(SiMe3)2 effects this conversion directly with no detectable intermediates, reaction with 1 equiv of LDA in THF for 15 min deprotonates the Cp* ligand to form the lithium salt of the „tucked-in“ ate complex [(η5,η1-C5Me4CH2)Mo(NO)(CH2SiMe3)2]-[Li(thf)3] (2) in 40% isolated yield. Complex 2 slowly converts to the thermodynamically more stable 1 when left as a THF or C6D6 solution at ambient temperature for 48 h. Reaction of the dialkyl starting material with either tBuLi or PhLi leads to the production of the alkylidene complex 1 in irreproducible yields (10-50% NMR; not isolable). A kinetic analysis of the reaction of [Cp*Mo(NO)(CH2SiMe3)2] with LiN(SiMe3)2 indicated that the reaction was first-order in both the lithium and molybdenum reagents, and the activation parameters of ΔH* = 7.3∓1.0 kcal mol-1 and ΔS* = - 34∓3 e.u. suggest an associative process. Treatment of the neutral dialkyl with 1 equiv of LiPPh2 in THF results in a one-electron reduction and production of {[Cp*Mo(NO)(CH2SiMe3)2[Li2(thf)3] (3). If left in solution, the 17e- dialkyl anion 3 is converted to the 18e- alkylidene anion 1 by the Ph2P-PPh2 coproduct, which effects the requisite hydrogen-atom abstraction. Finally, addition of a sterically undemanding alkyllithium reagent such as MeLi to the 16e- dialkyl reactant leads to the formation of the 18e- trialkyl anionic complex [[Cp*Mo(NO)(CH2SiMe3)2(=CHSiMe3)]2-[Li2(thf)3](Me)][Li(thf)3] (4). Warming of 4 in a C6D6 solution results in loss of methane and production of 1. In most cases, the chemistry exhibited by the Mo system is duplicated by the analogous W congener, [Cp*Mo(NO)(CH2SiMe3)2(=CHSiMe3)]2-[Li2(thf)3]. The solid-state molecular structures of complexes 1 and 4 have been established by single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses.

    Notes: The two isomeric [4+2] cyclo-adducts from two different 1,3-dienes may result from direct cycloadditions as well as from Cope rearrangements (Scheme 1). This general question is tackled by employing two energetically different types of dienes, protonated pyrazolines (1H+, 2H+) or dihydropyridazines (3H+), prepared in situ from their trimers and alicyclic (4-6) or aliphatic (7-9) 1,3-dienes. Depending on structural features and conditions (amount of acid, reaction time), various ratios of the two isomeric [4+2] cycloadducts A and B are obtained; A and B are azo compounds 10, 14, 16, 20, 22, 24, 27, 32, 34, 36-39, 41, 42, pyrazolines endo-11, endo-13, endo-15, endo-endo-17, endo-18, endo-19, 21, 23, 25, 26, 28, and hydropyridazines 31, endo-33, endo-35, 40 and 43 (Schemes 3, 4). These results were backed by others from acid-catalyzed isomerizations, trapping experiments, and calculations of the equilibria (ΔΔH) between the isomers (by analogy with the corresponding olefins). A critical discussion reveals: a) Azo compounds 20, 22, 24, 27, 34, 38, and 42 must result from a [4++2] cycloaddition with inverse electron demand, whereas hydropyridazines endo-33, endo-35, 40, and 43 originate from a [4+2+] cycloaddition with normal electron demand. b) All isomerizations occur by a [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement; [4+2] cycloreversion is energetically disfavored. c) A clear-cut distinction between the [4++2] or [4+2+] cycloaddition reaction routes to the energetically well-balanced systems 10→endo-11 and 12→endo-13 is not possible. d) The two cycloadditions may well favor a nonconcerted reaction through an allylic cationic intermediate which also governs the [3,3] rearrangements (Scheme 8).

    Notes: The compounds [M(SiR3)H3(PPh3)3] (1: M = Ru, R = 1 - NC4H4 = pyr; 2a-c: M = Os, R = pyr, Et, Ph) are prepared through reaction of either [RuH2(PPh3)4] or [OsH4(PPh3)3] with the appropriate silane HSiR3 (3a-c: R = pyr, Et, Ph). The X-ray structure analysis of compound 2 a and ab initio calculations on the model compounds [Os(SiR3)H3(PH3)3] (4a-c: R = H, NH2, pyr) reveal a trigonal distortion along the Os-Si axis from an idealised tetrahedral geometry for the central OsSiP3 heavy-atom skeleton. The structure can be described as two face-shared octahedra, one based on osmium (OsH3P3) and the other based on silicon (SiH3N3). Studies of the bonding situation in 2 a reveal that the N-pyrrolyl substituents have a marked shortening effect on the osmium-silicon distance (229.3(3) pm) and that each of the three hydride ligands participates in partial three-centre bonding involving osmium, silicon and hydrogen. 1H, 13C, 29Si and 31P NMR spectra were used to determine the solution structures of complexes 1 and 2 a.

    Notes: A new upper limit of binding site size is defined for the 2:1 overlapped polyamide: DNA motif. Eight-ring polyamides composed of four-ring subunits containing pyrrole (Py) and imidazole (Im) amino acids linked by a central β-alanine (β) spacer („4-β-4 ligands“) were designed for recognition of eleven base pair sequences as antiparallel dimer (4-β-4)2.DNA complexes in the minor groove. The DNA binding properties of three polyamides, ImPyPyPy-β-PyPyPyPy-β-Dp, ImImPyPy-β-PyPyPyPy-β-Dp, and ImImImPy-β-PyPyPyPy-β-Dp, were analyzed by footprinting experiments on DNA fragments containing the respective match sites 5'-AGTAATTTACT-3', 5'-AGGTATTACCT-3', and 5'-AGGGATTCCCT-3' (Dp = dimethylaminopropylamide). Quantitative footprint titrations reveal that each polyamide binds its respective target site with subnanomolar affinity and 7-fold to over 30-fold specificity over double-base-pair mismatch sites. A 20-fold decrease in binding affinity is observed for placement of a side-by-side β-β pairing opposite G.C/C.G relative to placement opposite a A.T/T.A base pair. The use of side-by-side antiparallel β-alanine residues as an A.T/T.A-specific DNA binding element provides a new pairing rule for polyamide design. Expanding the DNA binding site size targeted by pyrrole-imidazole polyamides represents an important step in the development of cell-permeable synthetic ligands for the control of gene-specific regulation.

    Notes: Thianthrene 5-oxide (SSO) constitutes a useful mechanistic tool for the assessment of the electronic character of oxygen transfer agents by means of their Xso values, which reflect the extent of nucleophilic oxidation at the SO site in SSO. Treatment of dioxiranes 1 a-d with the SSO probe confirms that these are electrophilic oxidants (Xso 〈 0.15). Dioxirane sulfoxidation is sensitive to protic solvents and acids, which implies a polar mechanism (SN2) with nucleophilic attack of the sulfide electron pair on the dioxirane peroxide bond. In contrast, the carbonyl oxides 2 a and b, diethyl persulfoxide (3), and adamantylideneadamantane perepoxide (4) are nucleophilic oxidants (Xso 〉 0.85). However, the cyclopentadienone carbonyl oxides 2 c and d show low Xso values typical for electrophilic oxygen transfer agents. For these carbonyl oxides, photoisomerization to the respective dioxiranes is proposed under the photooxidation conditions of the diazoalkanes. Additionally, the trans/cis ratio of bissulfoxides (SOSO) formed provides valuable information on the stereochemical course of the oxygen-transfer process due to the steric requirements of the oxidant. Thus, the electrophilic dioxiranes preferentially attack the axial lone pair of SSO because of repulsion by the peri hydrogen atoms to afford trans-SO-SO.

    Notes: Assemblies of glycoproteins from within the mineralized tissues of sea urchins and mollusks both interact in vitro in a similar manner with growing calcite crystals. A protein-rich fraction, a polysaccharide-rich fraction, and a fraction composed of densely glycosylated peptide cores were obtained by chemical and enzymatic treatment of the glycoproteins from sea-urchin spines. Each fraction was partially purified and characterized (amino acid composition, FTIR and NMR spectroscopy). A comparison of the interactions of these fractions with growing calcite crystals in vitro shows that the polysaccharide moieties of these glycoproteins are intimately involved in the interaction with growing calcite crystals on planes approximately parallel to the c crystallographic axis. Presumably the polysaccharides in the mollusk-shell glycoproteins are likewise responsible for the similar interactions of these macromolecules with calcite. We suggest that structured polysaccharide moieties of glycoproteins are important in controlling aspects of crystal growth in vivo as well.

    Notes: The reaction of [RuCl2(pybox)-(C2H4)] (1) (pybox = 2,6-bis[4′S)-isopropyloxazolin-2′-yl]pyridine) and 2,6-di-tert-butyltolyl diazoacetate (4) (DBT-DA) in benzene at 50°C gave a stable 2,6-di-tert-butyltolylcarbonylcarbene-ruthenium complex 5 in 94% yield. The structure of 5 was characterized by NMR spectroscopy. 2,6-Diisopropylphenyl diazoacetate (6) and 2,4,6-trimethylphenyl diazoacetate (7) also gave the corresponding carbene complexes 9 and 10, respectively. Asymmetric carbene transfer from the carbene complexes to styrene resulted in formation of the trans isomer of phenylcyclopropanecarboxylates 2 with high enantioselectivity: 2 was obtained as the sole product in 80% yield (55% ee) from 5 at 80 °C and in 82% yield (97% ee) from 9 at 60°C; from 10 at 40°C, a mixture of 2 and 3 in a ratio of 97:3 was formed in 91% yield (97% ee for 2 and 99% ee for 3). After the carbene transfer reaction, the ethylene complex 1 could be regenerated and isolated by treatment of the reaction mixture under an ethylene atmosphere. The carbene complexes 9 and 10 (2 mol%) exhibited catalytic activity in the asymmetric cyclopropanation of styrene with the corresponding diazoacetates.

    Notes: Results of semiempirical MN-DOC-CI and ab initio CASSCF calculations reveal that fulvene is a primary product of the photolysis of benzene. The photochemical step is assumed to lead to prefulvene, and both a synchronous conversion and a two-step process via bicyclo[3.1.0]hexa-1,3-diene (isofulvene) could be ruled out as possible pathways from prefulvene to benzene. The most probable mechanism for the photochemical isomerization of benzene to fulvene involves the intermediate structures prefulvene and 1,3-cyclopentadienylcarbene and has to compete with the almost barrierless formation of benzvalene and rearomatization to benzene. The short-lived intermediates are rather flexible structures with negligible barriers to inversion at the radical center in the threemembered ring of prefulvene and prebenzvalene and to rotation around the exocyclic single bond in 1,3-cyclopentadienylcarbene.

    Notes: The origin of the unusually large carbonyl 13C shifts and of unusual periodic trends in four-legged piano-stool complexes [M(n5-C5H5)(CO)4]- (M=Ti, Zr, Hf) and in related species has been investigated by using a combination of ab initio effective-core potentials (ECPs) and density-functional theory (DFT). The ECP/SOS-DFPT(IGLO) calculations indicate a considerable reduction in the anisotropy of the 13C(CO) chemical shift tensors compared to terminal carbonyl ligands in “normal” complexes. This is due to large paramagnetic contributions from metal d AO type (dz2, dxy) orbitals to the parallel component, σ33, of the shielding tensors of the carbonyl carbon atoms. The neutral d4 Group 5 and 6 complexes [M(n5-C5H5)(CO)4] (M=V, Nb, Ta) and [M(n5-C5H5)(CO)3CH3] (M=Cr, Mo, W) exhibit successively smaller but still significant paramagnetic d-orbital contributions to σ33, consistent with the observed less dramatic deshielding. The three-legged d6 piano-stool complexes [M(n5-C5H5)(CO)3] (M=Mn, Tc, Re) do not exhibit these reductions of the shielding anisotropy, but have carbonyl 13C shift tensors comparable to regular octahedral carbonyl complexes. The special situation for the four-legged complexes is related to the presence of high-lying occupied metal d orbitals, and particularly to the favorable spatial arrangement of these d orbitals with respect to the carbonyl ligands. Bent-sandwich d2 complexes like [Zr(n5-C5H5)2(CO)2] exhibit comparable deshielding contributions from an occupied metal d orbital. For similar reasons, the 17O resonances for these piano-stool and bent-sandwich complexes are also predicted to be at unusually high frequencies, with low shift anisotropy. NMR shifts for the (n5-C5H5)-ligand atoms and the structures of the complexes are also discussed.

    Notes: The new diimidazole ligand, bis (1-methyl-4,5-diphenylimidazol-2-yl)ke-tone (BIMDPK), has been synthesised, characterised and shown to form four-coordinate bis(diimidazole) CuII and CuI complexes in the salts [Cu(bimdpk)2]-[BF4]2 and [Cu(bimdpk)2][PF6], the structures of which have been determined by X-ray crystallography. The cations of these salts have a very similar geometry with CuII-Nav = 1.949 and CuI-Nav = 1.999 Å; the N-Cu-N interbond angles are constrained by 1) the bite angle of the BIMDPK ligand to 94 ± 2° and 2) the interligand steric interactions, which lead to the dihedral angle of the intraligand CuN2 planes of 68.2° for CuII and 74.9° for CuI-that is, a CuN4 geometry intermediate between tetrahedral and square planar. The X-band EPR spectrum for the powdered CuII compound is typical of an approximately D2 CuN4 centre possessing a dxy ground state (gx = 2.080, gy = 2.075, gz = 2.291; Az = 112.3 × 10-4 cm-1). The UV/vis spectra are dominated by charge-transfer bands, and both the CuII and CuI systems are intensely coloured. The EPR and electronic spectra indicate that these cations have a very similar structure in the solid state and in solution; the potential of the [Cu(bimdpk)2]2+/[Cu(bimdpk)2]+ couple is 0.59 V vs. SCE in MeCN and 0.80 V vs. SCE in CH2Cl2, and the electron self-exchange constant in MeCN is 1.9 × 104M-1S-1. Comparisons are made between the properties of the [Cu(bimdpk)2]2+/+ centres and related Cu centres in chmical and biological systems; the results of this study reinforce the view that a [Cu(His)4] centre should not be precluded from consideration in biological electron transport.

    Notes: The self-assembly of three new rotaxanes - two [2]rotaxanes and a [3]rotaxane - formed by a “threading followed by stoppering” approach is described. These template-directed syntheses rely on the formation of pseudorotaxane intermediates, which self-assemble in solution from functionalized secondary dialkylammonium hexafluorophosphate threads and macrocyclic polyether rings (either dibenzo-[24]crown-8 or its asymmetric constitutional isomer). The stoppers - substituted 1,2,3-triazoles-were created by thermally allowed 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions between azido groups, which terminate the threads, and di-tert-butyl acetylenedicarboxylate.

    Notes: For the first time, the crystal structure of a RuII binaphthyridine complex and that of its corresponding oneelectron reduced product are reported. Reductive electrocrystallization of [Ru-(binap-2)3](PF6)2 (1, where binap-2 = 3,3′-dimethylene -2,2′ - bi [1, 8] naphthyridine) from an acetonitrile solution resulted in the formation of dark blue crystals of the one-electron reduction product, [Ru-(binap-2)3](PF6) (2) having one fewer PF-6 per formula unit. X-ray analysis reveals that the reduced complex retains the three-ligand d6 coordination around the central RuII. Based on electrostatic considerations and the positions of the PF-6 anions in the lattice, the added electron appears to be delocalized over two nearly equivalent binap-2 ligands in 2, in marked contrast to monoreduced and electrocrystallized [Na ⊂ (trisbipyridyl cryptand)]0, in which the electron is localized on only one of the bipyridyl subunits. However, based on the available data, alternative interpretations are possible. The crystal packing diagram of 2 shows several intermolecular π-π interactions, with 12 of these being shorter than 3.5 Å. In contrast, there are no intermolecular distances shorter than 3.5 Å in the crystals of 1. Two-probe electrical conductivity measurements under anaerobic conditions indicate that the crystals of 2 behave as semiconductors with a band gap of 0.53 eV, while those of the unreduced compound are insulating. This represents the first molecular semiconducting material with the potential for bidimensional behavior of its kind.

    Notes: The hydrocarbon products that are formed upon dehydration at 296-673 K of tert-butyl alcohol (tBuOH), adsorbed on H-ZSM-5 zeolite in concentrations equal to that to active Al—OH—Si sites in the catalyst, have been analyzed by 13C solid-state MAS NMR and GC-MS. To facilitate 13C NMR analysis, the alcohol selectively labeled with 13C isotope in the COH group was used. It was found that tBuOH transforms to the adsorbed C8 butene dimers plus a trace amount of alkanes at 296 K. Butene dimers exist inside H—ZSM-5 pores in the form of interconverting adsorbed octene, octyl silyl ether, and octyl carbenium ion; octyl silyl ether is the main adsorption state. Fluxionality of the carbenium ion form provides a pathway for isomerization of the highly branched hydrocarbon skeleton of the intial alcohol to the predominantly linear one in the adsorbed butene dimer. The driving force for the isomerization into the linear structure is the shape selectivity induced by the small size of the zeolite channels. At 373 K the adsorbed butene dimers further crack into species that contain an average of about 6.5 carbon atoms, in addition to further alkanes. At 448 K the adsorbed C3-C7+ paraffins become the predominant hydrocarbon products observed with both in situ 13C NMR and ex situ GC-MS. Simultaneously, a mixture of adsorbed polyenes is formed. According to 13C CP/MAS NMR, polyenes exist in the zeolite pores in the form of rather stable cyclopentenyl cations. At 573-673 K adsorbed cyclopentenyl cations further transform into a mixture of condensed and simple aromatics and then into xylenes and toluene. Simultaneously, paraffins crack further to give mainly C3-C4 paraffinic species at 573 K and propane at 673 K.

    Notes: Stereoselective construction of trisubstituted alkenes has wide applicability to the synthesis of many natual products Specifically, β-disubstituted enones are important functionalized trisubstituted alkene targets. The reaction of organocerium reagents with secondary β-enamino ketones affords β=disubsituted α,β-unsaturated ketones in fairly good yields. This process shows considerable stereoselectivity, and α,β-unsaturated ketones of (E) configuration are predominantly observed. Organolithium-derived cerium reagents display better stereoselectivity than organomagnesium-based ones. The mechanism of the reaction varies with nitrogen substitution: N-phenyl groups give 1,2-addition products, whereas substitution products are observed with N-alkyl groups. When organocerium reagents were used with β-enamino ketones bearing secondary alkyl groups at the nitrogen atom, a lack of reactivity was observed.

    Notes: Alkynyl silyl sulfides 2 reacted with ynamines 3 to give 1:1 adducts. The structure of 4-silylcyclobut-2-enethiones 4 was confirmed by X-ray analysis of 4a. A cyclobutadiene intermediate is probably not involved in this reaction; we think that it is initiated by a silyl transfer from 2 to 3, and that this is followed by a combination of the resulting ions to give the unsaturated thioketene 7, which undergoes an electrocyclization to give products 4. In the reaction of thiones 4 with trimethyloxonium tetrafluoroborate (Meerrwein salt) selective methylation at sulfur was observed to give cyclobutenethionium ions 16. Ions 16 underwent fluoride-induced desilylation with various fluoride sources to give cyclobutadienes 17, which could not be isolated, but trapping of 17 a-c was possible with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate yielding regioisomeric benzene derivatives 20-23. Similarly, 17 a and bis(methylthio)methylene malononitrile (24) led to hexatriene derivative 27 by a sequence of cycloaddition and two ring-opening reactions. In contrast, silyl-substituted cyclobutadienes 17d,e dimerized even in the presence of trapping agents to anti-tricyclo-[4.2.0.02,5]octadienes 29; this suggests that a two-step cycloaddition is taking place, rather than a concerted Diels-Alder reaction. Attempts to intercept 17d, e, generated from 16d,e with cyclopentadiene (30), gave deprotonation of 30 leading to substitution of the methylthio group in 16 and finally to formation of cyclobutenes 33 through a hydrogen shift.

    Notes: The molecular structure of the chloroiron(III) porphyrinate [FeIIICl- (tmtmp)] (1) is described. The doming off the bifacially encumbered tmtmp dianionic ligand present in 1 is characterized by a separation of 0.09 (1) Å between the mean plane of the four pyrrole nitrogens (4NP) and that of the porphyrin core. The coordination polyhedron of the five-coordinate iron atom is a square pyramid of C4v symmetry. The metal is displaced by 0.44 (1) Å from the 4Np mean plane towards the axial chloro ligand. The Fe-Np and Fe-Cl bond lengths are 2.057 (6) and 2.223(5) Å, respectively. Upon treatment of [FeIIITf(tmtmp)] (2) with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, the green oxoferryl π radical cation complex [FeIV=O(tmtmp)]+ (3) is obtained. It has been studied by EPR, Mössbauer, and resonance Raman spectroscopy. It exhibits an EPR spectrum strikingly similar to those of compounds I of Micrococcus lysodeikticus catalase (APX-I) and ascorbate peroxidase (APX-I) The exchange interactions between the spins of the radical cation and the ferryl iron are of the ferromagnetic type and are the weakest ever found for a synthetic compound I model. The shift of + 22 cm-1 in the radical marker band v2 in the resonance Raman spectra upon oxidation of 2 to 3 confirms that the electronic state of the porphyrin π radical cation is predominantly 2Alu in this tmtmp compound 1 model.

    Notes: Dimethylzinc reacts with (2S)-or (2R)-3-exo-(dimethylamino)isoborneol [(2S)- or (2R)-DAIB] to eliminate methane and produce a tricoordinate methylzinc aminoalkoxide, which forms a dimeric structure. The homochiral dimerization of the enantiomeric compound leads to the chiral, (S,S) or (R,R) dinuclear Zn complex, while the heterochiral interaction forms the meso (S,R) dinuclear compound. In both solution and crystalline state, the heterochiral dimer is more stable than the homochiral dimer. This stability difference in solution is the origin of the chirality amplification observed in the amino alcohol promoted asymmetric addition of dimethylzinc to benzaldehyde. In toluene, the homochiral dimer dissociates more readily into the monomer than the heterchiral isomer and also undergoes dissociation of the N-Zn dative bond making the two N-methyl groups equivalent. The differences in solution behavior between the diastereomers can be understood by comparing their crystal structures. X-ray analysis indicates that the labile Zn-O and Zn-N bonds in the (S,S) dimer are longer than those in the (S,R) isomer. Skeletal congestion caused by the polycyclic framework is the prime factor determining the properties of the dinuclear Zn complexes, with both steric and electronic factors governing their geometries. The distances between the C-2 proton and N-CH3 of the other DAIB moiety in the homochiral dimer are close to the sum of the van der Waals radii. A significant nuclear Overhauser effect is seen between these protons in the homochiral dimer. The tetrahedral Zn atoms in the dinuclear complexes are linked covalently to the methyl group, to two oxygen atoms through covalent/electrostatic hybrid bonds, and to the dimethylamino group through electrostatic interaction. The repulsive interaction of the 1, 3-synoriented Zn-CH3 bonds significantly contributes to the lower stability of the homochiral dimeric complex. The N-Zn interaction in the homochiral dimer is labile, owing to the increase in the electrostatic interaction between the Zn atom and the neighboring oxygen atoms. This view is supported by the ab initio molecular orbital calculations of the model systems.

    Notes: The reaction of 5-hexenyl iodides with diethylzinc (2 equiv) and catalytic amounts of a PdII or NiII complex like PdCl2(dppf), PdCl2(MeCN)2, or Ni(acac)2 results in an efficient ring closure (THF, RT, 2-12 h) affording cyclopentylmethylzinc iodides, which, after transmetalation with CuCN·2LiCl, can be further functionalized by treatment with a range of electrophiles like allylic halides, acyl chlorides, enones, nitroolefins, ethyl propynoate, and alkynyl halides to yield polyfunctional cyclopentane derivatives. The ring closures occur via radical intermediates, and the stereochemistry of the products can be explained according to the rules for radical cyclizations developed by Beckwith. The preparation of several di- and trisubstituted cyclopentanes has been achieved with high stereoselectivity. Tandem ring closures can be performed to construct bicyclic or tricyclic ring systems. Cyclizations of iodo-ethylenic and acetylenic esters and ketones can be accomplished, although the high reactivity of acetylenic ketones leads to unexpected cyclization products. The synthetic utility of this method has been demonstrated by an enantioselective synthesis of (+)-methyl epijasmonate and (-)-methyl cucurbate.

    Notes: Collisional activation, charge reversal, and six different neutralization - reionization mass spectrometric experiments with [H2,O2]·+ radical cations and [H2,O2]·- radical anions were performed in order to probe the predicated existence of neutral water oxide, H2OO, the long sought after tautomer of hydrogen peroxide, HOOH. The experiments together with ab initio calculations indicate that H2OO is a local minimum on the [H2,O2] potential-energy surface, and the elusive molecule seems to be formed as a transient upon neutralization of the corresponding radical cation H2OO·+ in the gas phase.

    Notes: Helical complexes have been much studied as examples of self-assembled supramolecular units. Their structural features are analysed in terms of the metal ion, the binding site on the ligand and the bridging group linking these sites. Understanding these elements allows the controlled assembly of multicomponent systems. Preliminary results show the complexes to have high stability, arising from the inertness of the self-assembled species.

    Notes: Ab initio calculations (up to MP4SDQ/6-31+G*//MP2(FU)/6-31+G* + δZPVE) on several model nitroaldol (Henry) reactions have been performed. It is found that the free nitronate anions react with aldehydes via transition states in which the nitro and carbonyl dipoles are antiperiplanar to each other. This kind of reaction yields anti (erythro) nitroalcohols as major products. The Henry reaction between lithium nitronates and aldehydes is predicted to occur via cyclic transition structures yielding syn nitroalcohols as major products. The stereocontrol in these model reactions is low. The factors affecting the stereoselectivity in the reaction between dilithiated nitronates and aldehydes are also discussed.

    Notes: Reaction of three equivalents of alkyl-bridged biscatechol ligands (1-3)-H4 with two equivalents of [(acac)2TiO] in the presence of two equivalents of alkalimetal carbonate (M = Na, K) affords helicate- or meso-helicate-type supramolecular coordination compounds by spontaneous self-assembly processes. The cryptand-type structure of the binuclear tetraanions [(1)3Ti2]4- or [(2)3Ti2]4- permits inclusion of sodium cations; this was observed by 23Na NMR spectroscopy in solution. Competition experiments with potassium or lithium cations revealed that potassium but not lithium easily displaces the sodium ions from the cavity. Titration experiments indicated that the binding constant for potassium is significantly higher than for sodium. On the other hand, for the large tetraanion [(3)3Ti2]4- with hexamethylene spacers, no binding of alkali-metal ions could be observed by NMR spectroscopy in solution. In the solid state, however, two potassium ions could be incorporated in the interior of the cryptand-type helicate.

    Notes: CsF reacts with Br2 to form the two intercalation compounds CsF·Br2 and 2CsF·Br2. The former consists of layers of CsF squares separated by layers of Br2 molecules oriented perpendicular to the CsF layers. 2CsF·Br2 is a second-stage compound, composed of two layers of CsF followed by one layer of bromine molecules. Iodine cannot replace bromine; instead, it reacts with CsF to form Cs2I8, and probably CsIF6 between 0° and 120 °C. Chlorine does not react at all with CsF. Bromine reacts with RbF only superficially, and after a long time some RbBr3 is observed; RbF and I2 give RbI3.

    Notes: A new family of amphiphiles that form tubules (i.e., hollow cylindrical bilayer-based microstructures) by self-aggregation has been identified, namely, anionic glucophospholipids of type 1, in which a double-tailed hydrophobe is grafted through a phosphate linkage to the O-6 position of a polar glucose head group. Compounds 1a-c self-assemble into stable, hollow tubular microstructures when dispersed in water and cooled below the temperature at which the transition between crystal and liquid-crystal phases takes place (estimated from change in turbidity). The diameter of the microstructures appears to depend on the nature of the hydrophobic tail, significantly smaller diameters being obtained for fluorinated tails. No tubules were obtained when galactose (2a-c, pH〈11) or mannose (3a-c) derivatives were used instead of glucose derivatives, or when glucose was derivatized at the O-3 (4b) rather than O-6 position; in these cases only vesicles were formed. Tubules made of 1 converted rapidly into giant vesicles when heated; they spontaneously formed again upon cooling. The presence of a fluorinated chain, as in 1b and 1c, increased the temperature at which the tubule-vesicle interconversion occurred to above room temperature. Because the amphiphiles are negatively charged, the formation of tubules is pH-dependent and is favored at higher pH. These findings support the view that hydration of and hydrogen bonds between polar heads play a major role in tubule formation. Hydration of the sugar-derived head groups decreases as the number of intermolecular hydrogen bonds increases; this favors membrane crystallization and tubule formation.

    Notes: The reaction products and intermediates from the interaction of acetonitrile with olefins (oct-1-ene) or alcohols (tert-butyl alcohol) in zeolite H-ZSM-5 at 296 K have been characterized with 13C and 15N solid-state NMR. It has been shown that coadsorption of acetonitrile and olefin on H-ZSM-5 gives rise to the intermediate N-alkylnitrilium cation represents a persistent species inside a zeolite under anhydrous conditions. Upon admittance of water to the pores of the zeolite, the N-alkylnitrilium cation slowly converts into N-alkylamide in accordance with the classic Ritter reaction. In the case of acetonitrile and alcohol, just after coadsorption both the intermediate N-alkylnitrilium cation and the final N-alkyl-amide are identified simultaneously; the former slowly disappears over a few days. Thus, 1) it has been shown that the Ritter reaction can occur not only in liquid acidic media but also on a solid acid catalyst, zeolite H-ZSM-5; 2) N-alkylnitrilium cations have been detected and characterized with solid-state NMR as persistent intermediates in the Ritter reaction for the first time while the reaction proceeds.

    Notes: Heterobimetallic asymmetric catalysts, such as the lanthanum-lithium-binaphthol complex (La Li-BINOL), the aluminum-lithium-binaphthol complex (AlLi-BINOL), and a newly prepared gallium-sodium-binaphthol complex (Ga Na-BINOL), have been self-assembled with reactive nucleophiles, such as lithium nitronates and sodium malonates, to generate more efficient catalysts than the parent heterobimetallic catalysts. For example, by the combined use of La Li-BINOL (1 mol%; contains one H2O molecule) and BuLi (0.9 mol%) as the catalyst system, asymmetric nitroaldol reactions are greatly accelerated in all cases without a decrease in the optical purity of the nitroaldol products. Kinetic analyses have also been carried out on the Ga Na-BINOL-catalyzed Michael reaction of dibenzyl malonate with cyclohexenone, with or without NaOtBu. The calculated rate constants show that the combined use of Ga Na-BINOL and NaOtBu as the catalyst gives reaction rates that are about 50 times faster than with Ga Na-BINOL alone. This activation method should be useful for other asymmetric reactions catalyzed by heterobimetallic complexes.

    Notes: The photochemistry of the methyl esters of N-phthaloylcysteine derivatives 1b-5b was studied. The results are remarkable, because they prove a pronounced, multiplicity-controlled regioselectivity of the initial CH activation step. From substrates 1b-4b the benzazepine-1,5-dione 6 was produced exclusively by the singlet path. The formation of compound 6 is initiated by a γ-H abstraction; this was demonstrated by deuterium labeling experiments. The penicillamine derivative 5b was unreactive in the singlet manifold. From substrates 1b-3b and 5b the thiazinoisoindoles 7-9 and 11 were produced exclusively by the triplet path. The sterically hindered S-isopropylcysteine derivative 4b also furnished this product type (10) as a proportion of the products in the singlet manifold. These annulation products result from a primary photoinduced electron-transfer (PET) step followed by heterolytic ∊-H activation. The mechanistic scenario was elucidated by quenching and sensitization experiments. An interplay of CH activation steps and electron back-transfer is probably responsible for this type of spin selectivity.

    Notes: The reaction of ferric chloride and β-diketones (HL) in alkaline methanol solution represents a good synthetic route to hexairon(III) clusters [MFe6-(OCH3)12(L)6]+ (M = Na, Li), which exhibit an unusual sixfold molecular symmetry. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction showed that the six octahedrally coordinated iron(III) ions define a ring and are linked by twelve bridging methoxide ligands. The resulting [Fe6(OCH3)12] skeleton has the remarkable property of acting as a host for an alkali-metal ion both in the solid state and in organic solution, as demonstrated by 23Na and 7Li NMR experiments. The magnetic behavior of these systems is consistent with the presence of a nonmagnetic S = 0 ground state and of antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the high-spin ferric ions. The energy of the excited states was studied in detail by high-field DC and pulsed-field differential magnetization experiments at 0.7 and 1.5 K. Single-crystal susceptibility measurements at variable temperature revealed a sizeable magnetic anisotropy, which has been successfully analyzed in terms of single-ion and dipolar contributions. The results are relevant to research into the origin of superparamagnetic-type behavior in transition-metal clusters.

    Notes: The extended dithienylethene compounds 1-3 have been synthesized. They undergo photochromic and electrochemical changes by photoinduced interconversion between open and closed forms of type A and B. In addition, both forms of the N-methylated derivatives 1b and 2b have absorption bands in which excitation results in very large differences in fluorescence between the two forms with very little effect on the opening/closing state, a feature of interest for optical memory data systems. The compounds 2 and 3 contain six and eight conjugated thiophene units in the closed forms, respectively, and thus represent oligothiophenes endowed with a photoactivated switch; they are of special interest in this respect in view of the potential use of switched oligothiophenes in molecular electronic devices.

    Notes: A new enantioselective (80% ee) synthesis of (R)-sulforaphane and its epimer (S)-sulforaphane is described, which makes use of the pseudo-tetrahedral complex fragment [CpRu-(CHIRAPHOS)]+ as a chiral auxiliary. Reaction of the chloride complexes [CpRu(L-L)Cl] [L-L = 1,-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane (dppe), (2S,3S)-and (2R,3R)-bis(diphenylphosphino)-butane ((S,S)- and (R, R)-CHIRAPHOS, respectively)] with phthalimidobutyl methyl sulfide gives the thioether complexes [CpRu(L-L)(MeSC4H8NPhth)]PF6. Oxygen transfer from dimethyldioxirane (DMD) produces the corresponding sulfoxide complexes in high yield and high diastereoselectivity. Cleavage of the phthaloyl group with aqueous hydrazine and subsequent reaction with thiophosgene yields the sulforaphane complexes [CpRu(L-L)(MeS(O)C4H8NCS)]PF6. Treatment of these with sodium iodide finally liberates the sulforaphane without noticeable racemization.

    Notes: A series of π electron rich macrocyclic polythioethers and their acyclic analogues have been synthesized in good yields. The association constants for the complexation of the π electron deficient bis(hexafluorophosphate) bipyridinium-based salt, paraquat, by these macrocycles, as well as those for the complexation of corresponding acyclic compounds by the bipyridinium-based tetracationic cyclophane, cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene), are significantly lower than those observed in the case of the “all-oxygen” analogues. Nonetheless, yields as high as 86% were recorded in the template-directed syntheses of [2]catenanes composed of cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) and the macrocyclic polythioethers. Single-crystal X-ray crystallographic analyses of the [2]catenanes incorporating constitutionally unsymmetrical π electron rich macrocyclic polythioethers revealed that, in all cases, the dioxyaromatic units are located inside the cavity of the tetracationic cyclophane component in preference to the dithiaaromatic units. A similar selectivity was observed in solution by variable-temperature 1H NMR spectroscopy. However, inversion of the ratio between the two translational isomers of the two [2]catenanes bearing 1,5-dithi-anaphthalene, as one of their π electron rich ring systems, and either 1,4-dioxy-benzene or 1,5-dioxynaphthalene, as the other, occurs upon increasing the temperature from -30 to +30 πC. These [2]catenanes can be viewed as temperature-responsive molecular switches.

    Notes: If there is an aryl substituent on the acetylene terminus of enyne-allenes, then its reaction mode may be changed from the Myers-Saito cyclization to a novel C2-C6 cyclization resulting in a net intramolecular Diels-Alder or ene reaction. As a consequence, the thermal cyclization of readily accessible acyclic enyne-allenes can be utilized for the synthesis of complex benzofulvene and benzofluorene derivatives. Kinetic results of the C2-C6 cyclization reaction indicate a two-step reaction pathway with a benzofulvene biradical intermediate.

    Notes: Tetracarbonyl-π2-alkyne-carbene chromium(0) complexes 3a-c stabilized by a rigid C2-arene unit bridging the alkyne and the carbene ligands were synthesized from their pentacarbonyl precursors 2a-c by low-temperature photodecarbonylation. The chelates 3a-c are the first stable alkyne-carbene complexes containing a Group VIB metal carbonyl unit, and can be regarded as arrested intermediates in the chromium-mediated benzannulation reaction. Comparative X-ray and 13C NMR studies indicate only weak coordination of the alkyne, both in the solid state and in solution. Decomposition of chelates 3a-c as well as the thermal decarbonylation of their pentacarbonyl precursors 2a-c results in dimerization of the alkynylcarbene ligands to give densely substituted oxygenated chrysene derivatives. A modification of the substitution pattern in the central chrysene rings results in a gradual distortion of the arene system across the central C—C arene bond.

    Notes: The bis(ethene) complex [Tp*Ir-(C2H4)2] (1*) (Tp* = tris(3,5-dimethyl-1-pyrazol-1-yl)hydroborato) undergoes thermal rearrangement to the hydrido-allyl complex [Tp*IrH(π3-C3H4Me)] (6*), through the intermediacy of the hydrido-vinyl complex [Tp*IrH(C2H3)(C2H4)] (2*). The overall conversion of 1* into 6* corresponds formally to the dimerisation of ethene by an unprecedented pathway that involves sequential C-H bond activation of a coordinated olefin molecule and C-C bond formation by coupling of the resulting vinyl and ethene moieties. Similar transformations have been observed for monosubstituted olefins like propene and 1-butene, while the internal alkene cis-2-butene experiences allylic activation of an sp3 C-H bond, which provides an alternative route to 6*. The extension of these investigations to the analogous complexes of the unsubstituted tris(pyrazolyl)hydroborato ligand Tp is also reported. Mechanistic studies on the formation of the C-C bond by coupling of the vinyl and the olefin ligands suggest the participation of a vinylidene complex (formed by α-H abstraction from the vinyl group), which then rearranges to an allene species. Evidence for the involvement of these and other key reaction intermediates is provided.

    Notes: Oligosilsesquioxanes (OSS) may be considered as molecular sections of silica. The incompletely condensed (cy-clopentyl)7T7(OH)3 (T = SiO3/2) has been used to generate a phosphine-functionalized T8-OSS system by reaction with 2-(trichlorosilyl)diphenylphosphinoethane. The resulting model molecule (cyclopentyl)7T8(CH2)2PPh2 (1) is well suited to coordinate to transition metal clusters via the phosphorous atom. We selected the tetrahedral bimetallic cluster [HFeCo3-(CO)12]. Depending on the stoichiometry, one or two phosphine ligands could be added to the cobalt atoms, with substitution of CO molecules. Owing to the cyclopentyl substituents, the resulting complexes [HFeCo3(CO)11{Ph2P(CH2)2T8-(cyclopentyl)7}] (2) and [HFeCo3-(CO)10{Ph2P(CH2)2T8(cyclopentyl)7}2] (3) are soluble in numerous organic solvents. Therefore, they could be completely characterized by 1H, 13C, 29Si, and 31P NMR spectroscopy.

    Notes: The high-mannose nonasaccharide 1 is part of the glycoprotein gp 120 of the viral coat of HIV-1. The mannan portion of this triantennary glycan was prepared by a number of consecutive glycosidation steps without the need for any protecting-group manipulation. This was achieved by carefully tuning the reactivity of the glycosyl donors by employing our cyclohexane-1,2-diacetal (CDA) methodology. The method was further extended with one-pot procedures for oligosaccharide synthesis, thus reducing the number of steps to form the protected nonasaccharide 21 from the monosaccharide building blocks to five.

    Notes: The electronic structure (charge distribution, bond indices, character of the frontier orbitals) and geometry (bond distances and angles) of L-arginine and N-methyl-L-arginine were determined by means of the INDO procedure. The method was also adopted to model the conversion of L-arginine into N-hydroxy-L-arginine in biological systems. This revealed that the approach of diatomic O species does not result in reaction, whereas the approach of either an O atom or an O2- ion leads to insertion of oxygen and formation of hydroxy-L-arginine. The insertion of oxygen between the nitrogen and hydrogen atoms leads to more stable products than insertion into the C-H bond. The same results were obtained for N-methyl-L-arginine, and are consistent with the hypothesis that the inhibitive effect of N-substitution in L-arginine is of no importance for the first step in the biosynthesis of NO (hydroxylation process). The mechanistic considerations based on the charge distribution and frontier orbital characteristics led to the conclusion that the most probable mechanism of L-arginine hydroxylation consists in electrophilic attack of [FeO]3+ at the Nω-H bond, initiated by the reduction of L-arginine+, followed by insertion of oxygen and product oxidation.

    Notes: The structure and the unimolecular fragmentations of the metastable dimethyl peroxide radical cation have been investigated by mass spectrometric and isotopic labeling methods as well as high-level ab initio calculations. In line with the theoretical results, neutralization-reionization and charge reversal experiments suggest that ionized dimethyl peroxide bears a CH3OOCH•3 connectivity. In the cation the O-O bond dissociation energy is larger than that of the neutral counterpart; in contrast, the C-O bond strength is slightly and that of the C-H bond significantly reduced upon ionization. These energetic changes upon one-electron oxidation of CH3OOCH3 are also reflected in the NR and CR mass spectra of CH3OOCH•+3. Further, for metastable CH3OOCH•3 two major fragmentation pathways are observed: 1) Loss of a hydrogen atom by cleavage of a C-H bond is associated with a skeletal reorganization, which gives rise to a proton-bound formaldehyde dimer. 2) The expulsion of a CH3O• radical leads to protonated formaldehyde in a surprisingly specific double hydrogen transfer involving a [CH3OH/CH2O]• ion/dipole complex as central intermediate; this complex also accounts for other minor fragmentation channels. The structures of intermediates and transition states are calculated with the BECKE 3LYP density-functional method employing a 6-311++G** basis.

    Notes: A 2-deoxyisomaltose analogue of acarbose was stereoselectively synthesised in 11 steps with a total yield of 7% starting from 2,6-dibromo-2, 6-dideoxy-D-mannono-1,4-lactone (6). The latter was reduced to the lactol, converted to the methyl glycoside (7) and hydrogenated to the methyl 6-bromo-2,6-dideoxyglycoside (8). Benzylation of the hydroxy groups, elimination of bromine to a 5-ene and Ferrier carbocyclisation gave (2S, 3R)-2,3-bisbenzyloxycyclohex-5-enone (12). 1, 2-addition of benzyloxymethyl lithium at -110°C gave a 6:1 mixture of tertiary alcohols 13; the (1S) isomer was the major one. Reaction with trichloroacetyl isocyanate gave a carbamate 19, which, when dehydrated to the cyanate, spontaneously underwent [1,3] sigmatropic rearrangement to an isocyanate, which on addition of methanol gave the methylcarbamate 20. Basic hydrolysis of this compound gave (2R, 3R,5R)-5-amino-1-benzyloxymethyl-2,3

    Notes: The reactions of organic azides with [60]fullerene have paved the way for the synthesis of adducts with a variety of structures. Treatment of [60]fullerene with 2,2-dibenzyl-1,3-diazidopropane (10) in refluxing chlorobenzene afforded three products, namely, 8, 9, and 11 in 18, 25, and 11% yields, respectively. Thermolysis of 9a in refluxing chlorobenzene gave a 40:54:6 mixture of 8, 11, and C60 in quantitative yield. No interconversion between 8 and 11 was observed. Whereas 11 was stable towards thermolysis, 8 decomposed to C60 (35% yield) on refluxing in chlorobenzene for 24 h, but it did not produce any 11. This indicates that 9a is an intermediate in the formation of 8 and 11. A general mechanism for the addition of azides to C60 is proposed. A similar mechanistic pathway is suggested for the thermolysis of 9a.

    Notes: The ability to predict and subsequently control solid-state structure has been identified as a major challenge in the field of crystal engineering. Here we suggest the concept of constitutive models as a tool for understanding crystal packings and for designing new solid-state structures. Such models are intended to relate molecular interactions and their geometrical constraints with solid-state organization. These models will most likely be of greatest use for crystals consisting of supramolecular networks, that is, infinite assemblies of small molecules associating through strong, directional, and selective noncovalent interactions. The concept of the constitutive packing model is illustrated for interpenetrated diamondoid coordination networks based on crystalline adducts of 4,4′-biphenyldicarbonitrile with silver(I) salts. Observed structural deformations induced by counterions of varying size may be understood in terms of the interference of two supramolecular networks within this system: the diamondoid metal-ligand coordination network and face-to-face aromatic stacks of the organic ligand. The constitutive model developed here has been applied to other diamondoid coordination networks in the literature and is found to be general.
