Lithium enolates of simple ketones: structure determination using the method of continuous variation.

ABSTRACT: The method of continuous variation in conjunction with 6Li NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize lithium enolates derived from 1-indanone, cyclohexanone, and cyclopentanone in solution. The strategy relies on forming ensembles of homo- and heteroaggregated enolates. The enolates form exclusively chelated dimers in N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine and cubic tetramers in tetrahydrofuran and 1,2-dimethoxyethane.

Lithium phenolates solvated by tetrahydrofuran and 1,2-dimethoxyethane: structure determination using the method of continuous variation.

Project description:The method of continuous variation in conjunction with (6)Li NMR spectroscopy was used to characterize lithium phenolates solvated by tetrahydrofuran and 1,2-dimethoxyethane. The strategy relies on the formation of ensembles of homo- and heteroaggregated phenolates. The symmetries and concentration dependencies of the heteroaggregates attest to the aggregation numbers of the homoaggregates. The structurally diverse phenols afford substrate- and solvent-dependent combinations of lithium phenolate monomers, dimers, trimers, tetramers, and pentamers. We discuss the refinement of protocols for characterizing O-lithiated species. Computational studies examine further the substituent and solvent dependencies of aggregation.

Structure determination using the method of continuous variation: lithium phenolates solvated by protic and dipolar aprotic ligands.

Project description:The method of continuous variation (MCV) was used in conjunction with (6)Li NMR spectroscopy to characterize four lithium phenolates solvated by a range of solvents, including N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine, Et2O, pyridine, protic amines, alcohols, and highly dipolar aprotic solvents. Dimers, trimers, and tetramers were observed, depending on the precise lithium phenolate-solvent combinations. Competition experiments (solvent swaps) provide insights into the relative propensities toward mixed solvation.

Structures of beta-amino ester enolates: new strategies using the method of continuous variation.

Project description:The solution structures of four enolates derived from beta-amino esters are investigated using (6)Li NMR spectroscopy in conjunction with the method of continuous variation (method of Job). Ensembles of homo- and heteroaggregated enolates are generated by mixing enantiomers of a single enolate (R/S mixtures), opposite antipodes of two different enolates (R/S' mixtures), and the same antipodes of two different enolates (R/R' mixtures). The numbers of observable aggregates and their dependence on the mole fraction of the two enolates confirm the hexamer assignments. Inherent symmetries observable in the (6)Li NMR spectra show the stereochemistry of chelation about the hexagonal drum.

Method of continuous variation: characterization of alkali metal enolates using ¹H and ¹?F NMR spectroscopies.

Project description:The method of continuous variation in conjunction with (1)H and (19)F NMR spectroscopies was used to characterize lithium and sodium enolates solvated by N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethyldiamine (TMEDA) and tetrahydrofuran (THF). A strategy developed using lithium enolates was then applied to the more challenging sodium enolates. A number of sodium enolates solvated by TMEDA or THF afford exclusively tetramers. Evidence suggests that TMEDA chelates sodium on cubic tetramers.

Lithium Enolates Derived from Pyroglutaminol: Aggregation, Solvation, and Atropisomerism.

Project description:Lithium enolates derived from protected pyroglutaminols were characterized by using (6)Li, (13)C, and (19)F NMR spectroscopies in conjunction with the method of continuous variations. Mixtures of tetrasolvated dimers and tetrasolvated tetramers in different proportions depend on the steric demands of the hemiaminal protecting group, tetrahydrofuran concentration, and the presence or absence of an α-fluoro moiety. The high steric demands of the substituted bicyclo[3.3.0] ring system promote dimers to an unusual extent and allow solvents and atropisomers in cubic tetramers to be observed in the slow-exchange limit. Pyridine used as a (6)Li chemical shift reagent proved useful in assigning solvation numbers.

Iridium-catalyzed enantioselective allylic substitution of unstabilized enolates derived from ?,?-unsaturated ketones.

Project description:We report Ir-catalyzed, enantioselective allylic substitution reactions of unstabilized silyl enolates derived from ?,?-unsaturated ketones. Asymmetric allylic substitution of a variety of allylic carbonates with silyl enolates gave allylated products in 62-94% yield with 90-98% ee and >20:1 branched-to-linear selectivity. The synthetic utility of this method was illustrated by the short synthesis of an anticancer agent, TEI-9826.

Detrifluoroacetylative Generation of Halogenated Enolates: Practical Access to Perhalogenated Ketones and Alkenes.

Project description:Sequential chlorination/fluorination of aromatic trifluoroacetylated ketones gives 1-aryl 2-chloro-2,4,4,4-tetrafluoro-butan-1,3-dione hydrates that are used for the synthesis of ketones and alkenes exhibiting a terminal bromochlorofluoromethyl group. The hydrates undergo detrifluoroacetylative cleavage and subsequent bromination in the presence of a copper(II)bisoxazoline catalyst, K2CO3 and NBS at room temperature. The corresponding bromochlorofluoromethyl ketones can be applied in Wittig and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons reactions and dibromoalkenylations.

A simple method to efficiently generate structural variation in plants [long read]

Project description:Phenotypic variation is essential for the selection of new traits of interest. Structural variants, consisting of deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations, have greater potential for phenotypic consequences than single nucleotide variants. Indeed, pan-genome studies have highlighted the importance of structural variation in the evolution and selection of novel traits. Here, we describe a simple method to induce structural variation in plants. We demonstrate that a short period of growth on the topoisomerase II inhibitor etoposide induces heritable structural variation and altered phenotypes in Arabidopsis thaliana at high frequency. Using long-read sequencing and genetic analysis, we identified causative deletions and inversions underlying semi-dominant and recessive phenotypes. This method is potentially applicable to any plant species, with minimal resources required, and is suitable to replace irradiation as a source of induced large-effect structural variation.
