Resolution/Deracemization of Chiral α-Amino Acids Using Resolving Reagents with Flexible Stereogenic Centers

Vadim A. Soloshonok; Trevor K. Ellis; Hisanori Ueki; Taizo Ono

This work has demonstrated that a previously unexplored approach to separation of enantiomers via formation of diastereomeric derivatives with three stereogenic centers has obvious practical potential and deserves further systematic study. The design reported here is based on the unusual application of a configurationally unstable stereogenic nitrogen, which plays a key role in setting up the stereochemical match between the three stereogenic centers in the corresponding products.

Synthesis of Metal-Organic Complex Arrays

Pothiappan Vairaprakash; Hisanori Ueki; Kentaro Tashiro; Omar M. Yaghi

The Merrifield solid-phase peptide synthesis technique has been adapted to the synthesis of homo- and heterometallic metal−organic complex arrays (MOCAs). A terpyridine-appended and Fmoc-protected L-tyrosine derivative was metalated with Pt(II), Rh(III), or Ru(II) ions in solution and sequentially coupled at the surface of functionalized polymeric resin to give a metal complex triad (Rh−Pt−Ru), tetrad (Ru−Rh−Pt−Pt), pentad (Rh−Pt−Ru−Pt−Rh), and hexad (Rh−Pt−Ru−Pt−Rh−Pt) with specific metal sequence arrangements. These were cleaved from the resin, and their character was confirmed by mass spectrometry.

Ni(II)-complex derived from glycine Schiff base with 2-[N-(α-picolyl)amino]benzophenone (PABP) was found to be an ideal equivalent of nucleophilic glycine in the reactions with various alkyl halides affording an efficient, generalized and practically useful method for preparing symmetrically α,α-disubstituted α-amino acids.

A Convenient, Room-Temperature-Organic Base Protocol for Preparing Chiral 3-(Enoyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones

Vadim A. Soloshonok; Hisanori Ueki; Changchun Jiang; Chaozhong Cai; Victor J. Hruby

In this study, we developed a new protocol for the preparation of the chiral 3-[(E)-enoyl]-1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones under the ultimately simple reaction conditions starting with the corresponding enoyl chlorides and 1,3-oxazolidin-2-ones with Et3N/LiCl at room temperature. The method generally allows efficient preparation of various derivatives regardless of the steric and electronic nature of the substituents on both the enoyl or the oxazolidinone sites. Excellent yields, combined with the simplicity of the experimental procedures, render the present method immediately useful for preparing the target compounds.

Highly diastereoselective synthesis of new, carbostyril-based type of conformationally-constrained β-phenylserines

Hisanori Ueki; Trevor K. Ellis; Masood A. Khan; Vadim A. Soloshonok

Abstract We have demonstrated that the readily available amido–keto compounds 5 , with prearranged carbonyl and glycine moieties, under strongly basic conditions easily undergo complete and highly diastereoselective cyclization, affording a generalized and practical access to the conformationally constrained phenylserine derivatives 4 . High chemical yields, virtually complete diastereoselectivity combined with the operational convenience of the experimental procedures render this method useful for preparation of these diastereomerically pure derivatives.

New sterically driven mode for generation of helical chirality.

Hisanori Ueki; Vadim A. Soloshonok

The presented results and the available literature data convincingly suggest that there is a new sterically driven mechanism for the formation of supramolecular helicity in the solid state. This mechanism requires the presence of sterically bulky groups, such as tert-butyl, for which the spiral arrangement in uninterrupted hydrogen-bonding chains, serving as an axis for helical structure and maximizing the repulsive stereochemical interactions, provide for the most efficient, spatially economical accommodation of these groups in a crystallographic unit cell.

Reactive sulfur species: kinetics and mechanism of the oxidation of aryl sulfinates with hypochlorous acid.

Hisanori Ueki; Garry Chapman; Michael T. Ashby

The mechanism of oxidation of ArSO(2)(-) (PhSO(2)(-) and 5-sulfinato-2-nitrobenzoic acid = TNBO(2)(1-/2-)) with HOCl/OCl(-) has been investigated using the kinetic method. In contrast to previous reports for PhSO(2)(-) (for which it was suggested that OCl(-) and not HOCl was the reactant), the reaction proceeds through a conventional pathway: nucleophilic attack by ArSO(2)(-) on HOCl with concomitant Cl(+) transfer to give a sulfonyl chloride intermediate (ArSO(2)Cl), which we have identified spectrophotometrically. Remarkably, the rate constant for the reaction of HOCl with ArSO(2)(-) is on the order of 10(9) M(-1) s(-1), larger than the rate constants for corresponding thiolates, and is nearly diffusion-controlled. In contrast, the rate constant for the reaction of OCl(-) with ArSO(2)(-) is approximately 7 orders of magnitude smaller.

Design and synthesis of quasi-diastereomeric molecules with unchanging central, regenerating axial and switchable helical chirality via cleavage and formation of Ni(II)–O and Ni(II)–N coordination bonds

Vadim A. Soloshonok; Jose Luis Acena; Hisanori Ueki; Jianlin Han

Summary We describe herein the design and synthesis of asymmetric, pentadentate ligands, which are able to coordinate to Ni(II) cations leading to quasi-diastereomeric complexes displaying two new elements of chirality: stereogenic axis and helix along with configurational stabilization of the stereogenic center on the nitrogen. Due to the stereocongested structural characteristics of the corresponding Ni(II) complexes, the formation of quasi-diastereomeric products is highly stereoselective providing formation of only two, (R a*,M h*,R c*) and (R a*,P h*,R c*), out of the four possible stereochemical combinations. The reversible quasi-diastereomeric transformation between the products (R a*,M h*,R c*) and (R a*,P h*,R c*) occurs by intramolecular trans-coordination of Ni–NH and Ni–O bonds providing a basis for a chiral switch model.

Hisanori Ueki; Garry Chapman; Michael T. Ashby
