Chiral Dibenzopentalene-Based Conjugated Nanohoops through Stereoselective Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: Conjugated nanohoops allow to investigate the effect of radial conjugation and bending on the involved π-systems. They can possess unexpected optoelectronic properties and their radially oriented π-system makes them attractive for host-guest chemistry. Bending the π-subsystems can lead to chiral hoops. Herein, we report the stereoselective synthesis of two enantiomers of chiral conjugated nanohoops by incorporating dibenzo[a,e]pentalenes (DBPs), which are generated in the last synthetic step from enantiomerically pure diketone precursors. Owing to its bent shape, this diketone unit was used as the only bent precursor and novel "corner unit" in the synthesis of the hoops. The [6]DBP[4]Ph-hoops contain six antiaromatic DBP units and four bridging phenylene groups. The small HOMO-LUMO gap and ambipolar electrochemical character of the DBP units is reflected in the optoelectronic properties of the hoop. Electronic circular dichroism spectra and MD simulations showed that the chiral hoop did not racemize even when heated to 110 °C. Due to its large diameter, it was able to accommodate two C60 molecules, as binding studies indicate.

Stereoselective Synthesis and Investigation of Isopulegol-Based Chiral Ligands.

Project description:A library of isopulegol-based bi-, tri- and tetrafunctional chiral ligands has been developed from commercially available (-)-isopulegol and applied as chiral catalysts in the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. Michael addition of primary amines towards ?-methylene-?-butyrolactone, followed by reduction, was accomplished to provide aminodiols in highly stereoselective transformations. Stereoselective epoxidation of (+)-neoisopulegol, derived from natural (-)-isopulegol, and subsequent oxirane ring opening with primary amines afforded aminodiols. The regioselective ring closure of N-substituted aminodiols with formaldehyde was also investigated. Hydroxylation of (+)-neoisopulegol resulted in diol, which was then transformed into aminotriols by aminolysis of its epoxides. Dihydroxylation of (+)-neoisopulegol or derivatives with OsO4/NMO gave neoisopulegol-based di-, tri- and tetraols in highly stereoselective reactions. The antimicrobial activity of aminodiol and aminotriol derivatives as well as di-, tri- and tetraols was also explored. In addition, structure-activity relationships were examined by assessing substituent effects on the aminodiol and aminotriol systems.

Stereoselective RNA Reaction with Chiral 2'-OH Acylating Agents

Project description:The reactivity of RNA 2'-OH groups with acylating agents has recently been investigated for high-yield conjugation of RNA strands. To date, only achiral molecules have been studied for this reaction, despite the complex chiral structure of RNA. Here we prepare a set of chiral acylimidazoles and study their stereoselectivity in RNA reactions. Reactions performed with unfolded and folded RNAs reveal that positional selectivity and reactivity vary widely with local RNA macro-chirality. We further document remarkable effects of chirality on reagent reactivity, identifying an asymmetric reagent with 1000-fold greater reactivity than prior achiral reagents. In addition, we identify a chiral compound with higher RNA structural selectivity than any previously reported RNA-mapping species. Further, azide-containing homologs of a chiral dimethylalanine reagent were synthesized and applied to local RNA labeling, displaying 92% yield and 16:1 diastereoselectivity. The results establish that reagent stereochemistry and chiral RNA structure are critical elements of small molecule-RNA reactions, and demonstrate new chemical strategies for selective RNA modification and probing.

Stereoselective synthesis of perillaldehyde-based chiral ?-amino acid derivatives through conjugate addition of lithium amides.

Project description:The Michael addition of dibenzylamine to (+)-tert-butyl perillate (3) and to (+)-tert-butyl phellandrate (6), derived from (S)-(-)-perillaldehyde (1), resulted in diastereomeric ?-amino esters 7A-D in a moderately stereospecific reaction in a ratio of 76:17:6:1. After separation of the diastereoisomers, the major product, cis isomer 7A, was quantitatively isomerized to the minor component, trans-amino ester 7D. All four isomers were transformed to the corresponding ?-amino acids 10A-D, which are promising building blocks for the synthesis of ?-peptides and 1,3-heterocycles in three steps. The steric effects of the isopropyl group at position 4 and of the ?-methyl substituent of (R)-N-benzyl-N-?-methylbenzylamine on the reactivity were also studied and, upon application of a chiral amine, excellent stereoselectivity of the conjugate addition was observed. Amino ester 11 was obtained as a single product and transformed to the corresponding amino acids 10A and 10D in good yields on the gram scale.

Stereoselective synthesis of conjugated fluoro enynes.

Project description:Metalation-electrophilic fluorination of TMS- and TIPS-protected 1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl (BT) propargyl sulfones gave corresponding BT fluoropropargyl sulfones, Julia-Kocienski reagents for the synthesis of fluoro enynes. Both reagents reacted with aldehydes under mild DBU- or LHMDS-mediated conditions, giving high yields of conjugated fluoro enynes with E-stereoselectivity. In comparison to DBU-mediated reactions, stereoselectivity was higher in low-temperature LHMDS-mediated reactions. Two ketones were shown to react as well, using LHMDS as base. In situ removal of the TMS group gave terminal conjugated 2-fluoro 1,3-enynes. Synthetic utility of the fluoro enynes was demonstrated by conversion to internal alkynes and to stereoisomeric fluoro dienes via Sonogashira and Heck couplings.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Mechanically Planar Chiral Rotaxanes.

Project description:Chiral interlocked molecules in which the mechanical bond provides the sole stereogenic unit are typically produced with no control over the mechanical stereochemistry. Here we report a stereoselective approach to mechanically planar chiral rotaxanes in up to 98:2 d.r. using a readily available α-amino acid-derived azide. Symmetrization of the covalent stereocenter yields a rotaxane in which the mechanical bond provides the only stereogenic element.

Stereoselective synthesis and application of isopulegol-based bi- and trifunctional chiral compounds.

Project description:A new family of isopulegol-based bi- and trifunctional chiral ligands was developed from commercially available (-)-isopulegol. Nucleophilic addition of primary amines towards (+)-α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone was accomplished, followed by reduction of the obtained β-aminolactones to provide aminodiols in highly stereoselective reactions. Epoxidation of (-)-isopulegol and subsequent oxirane ring opening with primary amines resulted in N-substituted aminodiols. The regioselective ring closure of these aminodiols with formaldehyde was also investigated. Benzylation of isopulegol furnished O-benzyl-protected isopulegol, which was transformed into aminoalcohols via epoxidation and ring opening of the corresponding epoxides. First benzyl-protected isopulegol was subjected to hydroxylation and epoxidation, then aminolysis of the served oxiranes delivered aminodiols. On the other hand, (-)-isopulegol was oxidised to diol, which was again converted into both dibenzyl- and monobenzyl-protected diol derivatives. The products were transformed into aminoalcohols and aminodiols, respectively, by aminolysis of their epoxides. The ring opening of epoxides, derived from diols with primary amines was also performed producing aminotriols. Dihydroxylation of (-)-isopulegol or derivatives with OsO4/NMO gave isopulegol-based di-, tri- and tetraols. The antimicrobial activity and antioxidant property, measuring DPPH˙ free radical scavenging activity of aminodiol and aminotriol derivatives as well as di-, tri- and tetraols were also explored. In addition, structure-activity relationships were examined from the aspects of substituent effects and stereochemistry on the aminodiol and aminotriol systems.

Stereoselective synthesis of isoquinuclidines through an aza-[4 + 2] cycloaddition of chiral cyclic 2-amidodienes.

Project description:A highly stereoselective aza-[4 + 2] cycloaddition of chiral cyclic 2-amidodienes with N-sulfonyl aldimines is described. While this Lewis acid promoted heterocycloaddition provides an efficient strategy for constructing optically enriched isoquinuclidines, it is mechanistically intriguing. The cycloaddition favored the endo-II pathway in the absence of a viable bidentate coordination. This represents an unexpected switch from the anticipated endo-I selectivity obtained in the all-carbon cycloaddition.

A Chiral Relay Race: Stereoselective Synthesis of Axially Chiral Biaryl Diketones through Ring-Opening of Optical Dihydrophenan-threne-9,10-diols.

Project description:We report herein a point-to-axial chirality transfer reaction of optical dihydrophenanthrene-9,10-diols for the synthesis of axially chiral diketones. Two sets of conditions, namely a basic tBuOK/air atmosphere and an acidic NaClO/n-Bu4NHSO4, were developed to oxidatively cleave the C-C bond, resulting in the formation of axially chiral biaryl diketones. Finally, brief synthetic applications of the obtained chiral aryl diketones were demonstrated.

An isolable catenane consisting of two Mobius conjugated nanohoops.

Project description:Besides its mathematical importance, the Möbius topology (twisted, single-sided strip) is intriguing at the molecular level, as it features structural elegance and distinct properties; however, it carries synthetic challenges. Although some Möbius-type molecules have been isolated by synthetic chemists accompanied by extensive computational studies, the design, preparation, and characterization of stable Möbius-conjugated molecules remain a nontrivial task to date, let alone that of molecular Möbius strips assembling into more complex topologies. Here we report the efficient synthesis, crystal structure, and theoretical study of a catenane consisting of two fully conjugated nanohoops exhibiting Möbius topology in the solid state. This work highlights that oligoparaphenylene-derived nanohoops, a family of highly warped and synthetically challenging conjugated macrocycles, can not only serve as building blocks for interlocked supermolecular structures, but also represent a new class of compounds with isolable Möbius conformations stabilized by non-covalent interactions.

An Auxiliary Approach for the Stereoselective Synthesis of Topologically Chiral Catenanes.

Project description:Catenanes, molecules in which two rings are threaded through one another like links in a chain, can form as two structures related like an object and its mirror image but otherwise identical if the individual rings lack bilateral symmetry. These structures are described as "topologically chiral" because, unlike most chiral molecules, it is not possible to convert one mirror-image form to the other under the rules of mathematical topology. Although intriguing and discussed as early as 1961, to date all methods of accessing molecules containing only this topological stereogenic element require the separation of the mirror-image forms via chiral stationary phase high-performance liquid chromatography, which has limited their investigation to date. Here, we present a simple method that uses a readily available source of chiral information to allow the stereoselective synthesis of topologically chiral catenanes.
