Synthesis of Optically Active Polyguanidines by Polyaddition Reaction of Biscarbodiimides with Chiral Diamines.

ABSTRACT: Herein, we present the first study on the polyaddition reaction of biscarbodiimides with chiral diamines, which focuses on a definite case using optically active trans-4a,8a-decahydroquinoxaline and 1,4-phenylenebis(arylcarbodiimide)s, which readily react with each other under ambient and catalyst-free conditions. The specific reactivity allows for facile access to not only the corresponding chiral polyguanidines under balanced stoichiometry but also their oligomeric analogues under imbalanced stoichiometry via a step-by-step procedure. Spectroscopic, chromatographic, and computational characterization of the novel molecular chains containing arrayed guanidines have revealed their structural, optical, and conformational properties as well as the mechanism of polymerization assisted by molecular association. Their potential use as asymmetric catalysts is also described.

Synthesis of Optically and Redox Active Polyenaminones from Diamines and α,α'-Bis[(dimethylamino)methylidene]cyclohexanediones.

Project description:New oligo- and polyenaminones with Mw ~ 7-50 KDa were prepared in high yields by transaminative amino-enaminone polymerization of regioisomeric bis[(dimethylamino)methylidene]cyclohexanediones with alkylene and phenylenediamines. The polymers obtained are practically insoluble in aqueous and organic solvents and exhibit film-forming properties, UV light absorption at wavelengths below 500 nm, and redox activity. These properties indicate a promising application potential of these polymers, which could find use in optical and optoelectronic applications and in energy storage devices.

Stereospecific synthesis of silicon-stereogenic optically active silylboranes and general synthesis of chiral silyl Anions.

Project description:Silicon-stereogenic optically active silylboranes could potentially allow the formation of chiral silyl nucleophiles as well as the synthesis of various chiral silicon compounds. However, the synthesis of such silicon-stereogenic silylboranes has not been achieved so far. Here, we report the synthesis of silicon-stereogenic optically active silylboranes via a stereospecific Pt(PPh3)4-catalyzed Si-H borylation of chiral hydrosilanes, which are synthesized by stoichiometric and catalytic asymmetric synthesis, in high yield and very high or perfect enantiospecificity (99% es in one case, and >99% es in the others) with retention of the configuration. Furthermore, we report a practical approach to generate silicon-stereogenic silyl nucleophiles with high enantiopurity and configurational stability using MeLi activation. This protocol is suitable for the stereospecific and general synthesis of silicon-stereogenic trialkyl-, dialkylbenzyl-, dialkylaryl-, diarylalkyl-, and alkylary benzyloxy-substituted silylboranes and their corresponding silyl nucleophiles with excellent enantiospecificity (>99% es except one case of 99% es). Transition-metal-catalyzed C-Si bond-forming cross-coupling reactions and conjugate-addition reactions are also demonstrated. The mechanisms underlying the stability and reactivity of such chiral silyl anion were investigated by combining NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations.

Intensity-dependent modulation of optically active signals in a chiral metamaterial.

Project description:Chiral media exhibit optical phenomena that provide distinctive responses from opposite circular polarizations. The disparity between these responses can be optimized by structurally engineering absorptive materials into chiral nanopatterns to form metamaterials that provide gigantic chiroptical resonances. To fully leverage the innate duality of chiral metamaterials for future optical technologies, it is essential to make such chiroptical responses tunable via external means. Here we report an optical metamaterial with tailored chiroptical effects in the nonlinear regime, which exhibits a pronounced shift in its circular dichroism spectrum under a modest level of excitation power. Strong nonlinear optical rotation is observed at key spectral locations, with an intensity-induced change of 14° in the polarization rotation from a metamaterial thickness of less than λ/7. The modulation of chiroptical responses by manipulation of input powers incident on chiral metamaterials offers potential for active optics such as all-optical switching and light modulation.

Mild polyaddition and polyalkylation based on the carbon-carbon bond formation reaction of active methylene.

Project description:The Michael addition and alkylation reaction of active methylene compounds (AMCs) with two active hydrogens had been investigated extensively in organic chemistry, while the polymerization of AMCs had few studies. Herein, we reported active methylene-based polyaddition and polyalkylation catalyzed via an organic superbase under ambient conditions. A model polymerization was first conducted between ethylene glycol diacrylate (EGDA) and methyl cyanoacetate (MCA). The molecular weight (M w) of the model polymer was up to 50 500 g mol-1 with a high yield (99%). Eight AMCs were selected and a high-throughput parallel synthesizing instrument (HTPSI) was used to synthesize semi-library polymers of AMCs and EGDA via a Michael type polyaddition. The obtained AMC-based polymers had low cell cytotoxicity. Elastomers with cyanogen groups could be prepared using trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) as a crosslinker. Furthermore, three dihalogen compounds were explored to polymerize with MCA and malononitrile via alkylation reactions. The pendent cyanogen or ester groups of the polymers could be reduced by lithium aluminum hydride. Novel polymer families were constructed based on the polyaddition and polyalkylation of AMCs.

Chiral Vicinal Diamines Derived from Mefloquine.

Project description:Novel 1,2-diamines based on the mefloquine scaffold prepared in enantiomerically pure forms resemble 9-amino-Cinchona alkaloids. Most effectively, 11-aminomefloquine with an erythro configuration was obtained by conversion of 11-alcohol into azide and hydrogenation. Alkylation of a secondary amine unit was needed to arrive at diastereomeric threo-11-aminomefloquine and to introduce diversity. Most of the substitution reactions of the hydroxyl group to azido group proceeded with net retention of the configuration and involved actual aziridine or plausible aziridinium ion intermediates. Enantiomerically pure products were obtained by the resolution of either the initial mefloquine or one of the final products. The evaluation of the efficacy of the obtained vicinal diamines in enantioselective transformations proved that erythro-11-aminomefloquine is an effective catalyst in the asymmetric Michael addition of nitromethane to cyclohexanone (up to 96.5:3.5 er) surpassing epi-aminoquinine in terms of selectivity.

Chiral optical tweezers for optically active particles in the T-matrix formalism.

Project description:Modeling optical tweezers in the T-matrix formalism has been of key importance for accurate and efficient calculations of optical forces and their comparison with experiments. Here we extend this formalism to the modeling of chiral optomechanics and optical tweezers where chiral light is used for optical manipulation and trapping of optically active particles. We first use the Bohren decomposition to deal with the light scattering of chiral light on optically active particles. Thus, we show analytically that all the observables (cross sections, asymmetry parameters) are split into a helicity dependent and independent part and study a practical example of a complex resin particle with inner copper-coated stainless steel helices. Then, we apply this chiral T-matrix framework to optical tweezers where a tightly focused chiral field is used to trap an optically active spherical particle, calculate the chiral behaviour of optical trapping stiffnesses and their size scaling, and extend calculations to chiral nanowires and clusters of astrophysical interest. Such general light scattering framework opens perspectives for modeling optical forces on biological materials where optically active amino acids and carbohydrates are present.

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.

Preparation of optically active bicyclodihydrosiloles by a radical cascade reaction.

Project description:Bicyclodihydrosiloles were readily prepared from optically active enyne compounds by a radical cascade reaction triggered by tris(trimethylsilyl)silane ((Me3Si)3SiH). The reaction was initiated by the addition of a silyl radical to an α,β-unsaturated ester, forming an α-carbonyl radical that underwent radical cyclization to a terminal alkyne unit. The resulting vinyl radical attacked the silicon atom in an SHi manner to give dihydrosilole. The reaction preferentially formed trans isomers of bicyclosiloles with an approximately 7:3 to 9:1 selectivity.

Synthesis of Optically Active Poly(diphenylacetylene)s Using Polymer Reactions and an Evaluation of Their Chiral Recognition Abilities as Chiral Stationary Phases for HPLC.

Project description:A series of optically active poly(diphenylacetylene) derivatives bearing a chiral substituent (poly-2S) or chiral and achiral substituents (poly-(2Sx-co-31-x)) on all of their pendant phenyl rings were synthesized by the reaction of poly(bis(4-carboxyphenyl)acetylene) with (S)-1-phenylethylamine ((S)-2) or benzylamine (3) in the presence of a condensing reagent. Their chiroptical properties and chiral recognition abilities as chiral stationary phases (CSPs) for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) were investigated. Poly-2S and poly-(2Sx-co-31-x) (0.06 < x < 0.71) formed a preferred-handed helical conformation with opposite helical senses after thermal annealing despite possessing the same chiral pendant (h-poly-2S and h-poly-(2Sx-co-31-x)). Furthermore, h-poly-2S and h-poly-(2S0.36-co-30.64) emitted circularly polarized luminescence with opposite signs. h-Poly-2S showed higher chiral recognition abilities toward a larger number of racemates than poly-2S without a preferred-handed helicity and the previously reported preferred-handed poly(diphenylacetylene) derivative bearing the same chiral substituent on half of its pendant phenyl rings. h-Poly-(2S0.36-co-30.64) also exhibited good chiral recognition abilities toward several racemates, though the elution order of some enantiomers was reversed compared with h-poly-2S.

Autonomous discovery of optically active chiral inorganic perovskite nanocrystals through an intelligent cloud lab.

Project description:We constructed an intelligent cloud lab that integrates lab automation with cloud servers and artificial intelligence (AI) to detect chirality in perovskites. Driven by the materials acceleration operating system in cloud (MAOSIC) platform, on-demand experimental design by remote users was enabled in this cloud lab. By employing artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) technology, synthesis, characterization, and parameter optimization can be autonomously achieved. Through the remote collaboration of researchers, optically active inorganic perovskite nanocrystals (IPNCs) were first synthesized with temperature-dependent circular dichroism (CD) and inversion control. The inter-structure (structural patterns) and intra-structure (screw dislocations) dual-pattern-induced mechanisms detected by MAOSIC were comprehensively investigated, and offline theoretical analysis revealed the thermodynamic mechanism inside the materials. This self-driving cloud lab enables efficient and reliable collaborations across the world, reduces the setup costs of in-house facilities, combines offline theoretic analysis, and is practical for accelerating the speed of material discovery.
