    Notes: Abstract Purpose: Best chances of a cure from colorectal cancer are obtained before metastatic spread. Lack of specific tests allowing early diagnosis of the tumor accounts for investigation of gene alterations involved in carcinogenesis by a noninvasive method. In the present study, K-ras codons 12 and 13 mutations were studied in neoplastic cells shed from the bowel into the stool and those contained in the tumor and normal mucosa. Moreover, healthy patients and a few others with precancerous conditions were examined. METHODS: Stool, tumor, and mucosa samples were taken from 25 patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma. Stool and mucosa samples were obtained from 11 healthy patients, and stool, pathologic bowel tissue, and normal mucosa samples were obtained from 3 patients with adenoma (1) or ulcerative colitis (2). Polymerase chain reaction amplification and restriction enzyme analysis were performed. RESULTS: K-ras codon 12 mutations were detected in both tumor and stool samples of 10 cancer patients, and no gene alterations were observed in 14 patients. In one patient with a tumor, a mutation was shown in only the tumor tissue. The agreement rate in tumor and stool analysis was 96 percent. A normal pattern of K-ras codons 12 and 13 was observed in the bowel mucosa. All stool and mucosa samples from healthy patients were not altered in K-ras.Agreement was registered between samples taken from patients with preneoplastic lesions. CONCLUSIONS: These preliminary findings show a high rate of accuracy in the investigation of K-ras alterations in the colorectal cells shed into the feces, suggesting that such an approach could be used to study other gene alterations and, prospectively, to identify early colorectal cancers.

    Notes: Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterised by the production of a large number of autoantibodies. It has been postulated that this may be the result of prolonged longevity of auto-reactive B cells due to defective regulation of programmed cell death (apoptosis). The proto-oncogenebcl-2 is involved in the control of apoptosis in immunocompetent cells, and its over-expression is noted in T and B cells from SLE patients. This study examined the genetic linkage between thebcl-2 gene locus and SLE susceptibility using the affected sib-pair method in SLE families. Seventeen caucasian multiplex families were evaluated. A polymorphic microsatellite marker closely linked to thebcl-2 gene on 18g21.3 was used to determine thebcl-2 genotype. We demonstrated that haplotype sharing among the affected sibling pairs was not statistically different from random (P〉0.5). This suggests that thebcl-2 gene locus does not confer a genetic susceptibility to SLE expression.

    Notes: Abstract It seems that the genetic basis of common psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and manic-depressive psychosis is amenable to the genetic mapping strategies that have been successful in other complex disorders such as diabetes. The next challenge is the genetic dissection of quantitative behavioural traits such as mood, personality and intelligence. Quantitative traits pose new problems for gene cloning experiments. We argue that one way forward is by using animal models. One of the features of quantitative traits is that the DNA sequence variants which are responsible for them are unlikely to be immediately recognizable. In contrast to many qualitative traits where a discrete phenotypic difference is often the consequence of an inactivating mutation, the allelic variation responsible for quantitative traits probably has a more subtle basis. This distinction means that strategies to clone the genetic basis of quantitative behavioural traits will have to rely on functional assays of alleles thought to be important in determining the phenotype. We suggest that an efficient strategy for detecting sequences that give rise to quantitative behavioural traits can be devised in the mouse. The importance and utility of the mouse for quantitative trait analysis make it worthwhile to investigate mouse models of human behaviour; these advantages outweigh the difficulties that arise in attempts to validate the animal models. As an example we review the evidence that validates rodent emotionality as an animal model for susceptibility to human anxiety. We show that there is good evidence that rodent emotionality is a central nervous system state with a genetic basis, and that there are neuropharmacological and neuroanatomical parallels with human anxiety. Furthermore, our own work has shown that the genetic basis of the trait is relatively simple, and that the task of characterizing it at a molecular level is feasible. We expect that future experiments will show us how genetic variation gives rise to quantitative behavioural traits.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Several historical reports focusing on the heredity of migraine, as well as recent studies on its epidemiology and molecular biology, have revealed evidence for a decisive role of genetic factors in the aetiopathogenesis of familial migraine. Indeed, family studies, segregation analyses and twin studies have shown that genetic factors play an important role in disposition towards migraine but could not explain the entire aetiopathogenesis. The influence of extragenetic factors, however, remains mostly unknown. Recent linkage analyses have provided evidence for genetic heterogeneity. A locus for Familial Hemiplegic Migraine (FHM), the only known type of migraine that follows autosomal-dominant transmission, has been linked to chromosome 19p13 but genetic heterogeneity has also been shown, i. e. different types of migraine could be excluded from this locus. Further investigations should concentrate on identifying the FHM gene on chromosome 19p13, on linkage analyses with markers for different susceptibility genes, and on genomic analyses of highly informative pedigrees. This would lead to further clues to the pathogenesis underlying migraine and, thus, to therapeutic developments.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung Nachdem bereits in historischen Beschreibungen eine genetische Verursachung der Migräne vermutet worden war, haben epidemiologische und molekularbiologische Forschungen in den letzten Jahren differenzierte Ergebnisse über genetische Faktoren in der Ätiopathogenese der familiären Migräne geliefert. Aufgrund von Familien- und Segregationsanalysen und von Zwillingsstudien wird dargestellt, daß genetische Faktoren mit größter Wahrscheinlichkeit eine Rolle in der Pathogenese der typischen Migräne spielen. Inwieweit extragenetische Faktoren auf die Ätiopathogenese der Migräne Einfluß nehmen, ist weitgehend offen. Linkageanalysen haben in jüngster Zeit gezeigt, daß möglicherweise mehrere verschiedene Gene für diese Erkrankung verantwortlich sind. Für die Familiäre Hemiplegische Migräne (FHM), der einzigen Migräneform, für die ein autosomal-dominanter Erbgang nachgewiesen ist, konnte ein Genlocus auf Chromosom 19p13 gefunden werden, gleichzeitig wurde aber auch genetische Heterogenität nachgewiesen. Verschiedene andere Formen der Migräne zeigten keine Linkage zu diesem Locus. Weitere Forschungen sollten neben der Identifizierung des FHM-Gens auch Linkageanalysen für Kandidatengene und Genomanalysen an großen informativen Familien zum Ziel haben. Letztlich werden die Ergebnisse genaueren Einblick in die Pathophysiologie der Migräne liefern und damit therapeutisch relevant sein.

    Notes: Abstract To estimate genetic effects on femoral neck geometry and the distribution of bone mineral within the proximal femur a cross-sectional twin analysis was carried out at a university hospital that compared correlations in these traits in pairs of mono- and dizygo-tic female twins. Monozygotic (MZ, n=51 pairs, age 49.1±9.3 years) and dizygotic (DZ, n=26 pairs, age 45.7±11.3 years) twins were randomly selected from a larger sample of twins previously studied. Measurements of bone mineral density (BMD), femoral neck angles and length, cross-sectional area and moment of interia, the center of mass of the narrowest cross-section of the femoral neck, and BMDs of regions within the femoral neck were made. A summary index of the resistance of the femoral neck to forces experienced in a fall with impact on the greater trochanter (Fall Index, FI) was calculated. MZ pair intraclass correlations (rMZ) were significantly (p〈0.05) different from zero for all bone mass and femoral geometry variables (0.35〈rMZ〈0.82). DZ pair correlations (rDZ) were lower thanrMZ for all variables (0.04〈rDZ〈0.52) except femoral neck length (rDZ=0.38, rMZ=0.36). After adjustment for BMD of the femoral neck,rMZ was significantly greater thanrDZ, yielding high heritability estimates for regional BMDs (0.72〈H 2〈0.78), the center of mass of the femoral neck (H 2=0.70, −0.04 to 1.43 95% CI) and the resistance of the femoral neck to forces experienced in a fall (FI,H 2=0.94, 0.06 to 1.85 95% CI), but not for femoral neck length. Adjustments for age did not alter these findings. It is concluded that there are significant familial influences on the distribution of femoral bone mass and on the calculated structural strength of the proximal femur, but not on femoral neck length. If the assumptions of the twin model are correct, this is evidence for genetic factors influencing these traits.

    Notes: Abstract In order to assess the etiology of reading disability as a function of mathematics performance, data from 168 monozygotic (MZ) and 127 same-sex dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs in which at least one member of each pair was reading-disabled were subjected to quantitative genetic analyses. MZ and DZ concordance rates for reading disability were computed for different levels of mathematics performance, and reading performance data were fitted to an extension of the basic multiple regression model for the analysis of selected twin data. Results of these analyses suggest that genetic factors may be especially salient as a cause of reading disability in children with borderline deficits in mathematics performance: thus, mathematics performance may be a valid dimension for diagnosing subtypes of reading disability.

    Notes: Summary Diabetes mellitus is a common disease with many forms of clinical expression. In addition, the development of diabetic complications is not only dependent on glycaemic control but also on individual factors which may be related to genetic heterogeneity. At present, multiple genetic factors are being recognized as contributing to the development of diabetes or possibly modulating its clinical expression. The purpose of this review is to give an overview of our current knowledge on a subtype of diabetes which is apparently caused by a single mutation in the mitochondrial DNA.

    Notes: Abstract In 1991–1993, we investigated the incidence of seed dormancy in 25 local populations of barnyard grass, Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P.Beauv., in the western Czech Republic. The percentage of germination after 4 months afterripening of dry seeds at 25°C varied between 0.0 and 83.6%. Although there were significant annual differences in the percentage of germination at some localities, typical proportions of dormant seeds persisted over 3 years at field sites where the seed bank was not disturbed. One-way ANOVA (using data from 14 cultivated or abandoned fields) revealed that 73.0% of variance in seed dormancy incidence could be attributed to the effect of locality (P〈0.001). Incidence of dormancy was not correlated with mother plant stature (dry above-ground biomass, number of tillers, maximal stem height) nor seed mass. There was a significant correlation (r 2=0.403, P〈0.005) between dormancy incidence at natural localities in 1991 and in F1 offspring sown at experimental grounds at Praha-Ruzyně in 1992. The results indicate that heredity is important in maintaining local variation in seed dormancy, probably favoured by the self-pollinating reproduction of barnyard grass.

    Notes: Abstract Amplification of an unstable CTG trinucleotide repeat sequence in a protein kinase gene on chromosome 19 has recently been recognised as the molecular basis of myotonic dystrophy (DM), a multisystem disorder with a wide spectrum of muscular and extramuscular manifestations. The CTG expansion of 40 patients was assessed by direct genotype analysis of the white blood cell DNA and correlated with MRI of the brain and muscles, and with functional clinical data. Cerebral pathology on MRI consisted of diffuse atrophy (68 %), subcortical white matter lesions (65 %), wide Virchow-Robin spaces (38 %) and thickening of the skull (35 %). Cerebral atrophy and extent of white matter disease correlated significantly with mental retardation, duration of disease and CTG fragment amplification. MRI of the muscular system showed fatty degeneration of different degrees in neighbouring muscles causing a mosaic pattern of the thigh in 38 % and the calf in 44 %. Muscular changes on MRI were strongly correlated with muscular impairment but less strongly with CTG expansion. Changes on MRI reflect the stage of development of tissue pathology in DM, modified by defect of the DM gene. Pathology on MRI is strongly correlated with functional deficits.

    Notes: Abstract Over a period of 3 years, 192 children with familial Mediterranean fever were prospectively studied. Of these, 106 (55%) were girls and 86 (45%) were boys. The prevalence was 1 : 2600 children with a gene frequency of 1 : 50. The age at onset ranged between 4 months and 16 years. Of these patients 24% started their illness below the age of 2 years and 88% were symptomatic before the age of 10 years; 82% had recurrent abdominal pain, 43% had pleurisy, 37% had arthritis, 15% had cutaneous manifestations, 12% had splenomegaly and 4% had hepatomegaly. The presenting symptoms were abdominal pain in 51%, unilateral chest pain in 23% and arthritis in 26%. The family history was positive in 62%. Of 12 affected families 19 members had/have renal failure and amyloidosis was confirmed in 7 patients. Conclusion Our data show a high prevalence of familial Mediterranean fever and a high gene frequency in Arab children similar to that reported in Jews and Armenians.

    Notes: Abstract Inbred mouse strains differ in sensitivity to a first dose of nicotine and in the development of tolerance to nicotine. The experiments reported here used six inbred mouse strains (A, BUB, C3H, C57BL/6, DBA/2, ST/b) that differ in sensitivity to an acute challenge dose of nicotine to determine whether differences in oral self-selection of nicotine exist. Animals were presented with solutions containing nicotine or vehicle (water or 0.2% saccharin) and their daily intake of the two fluids was measured for 4 days starting with a 10 µg/ml nicotine solution. This was followed by sequential 4-day testing with 20, 35, 50, 65, 80, 100, 125, 160, and 200 µg/ml nicotine solutions. The strains differed dramatically in their self-selection of nicotine and in maximal daily dose (mg/kg); the rank order of the strains was C57BL/6〉DBA〉BUB〉A≥C3H≥ST/b for both the tap water and 0.2% saccharin choice experiments. Correlations between nicotine consumption and sensitivity to nicotine, as measured by a battery of behavioral and physiological responses, were also calculated. Strain differences in nicotine intake were highly correlated with senstivity to nicotine-induced seizures. As senstivity to nicotine-in-duced seizures increases, oral self-selection of nicotine decreases. This finding may suggest that this toxic action of nicotine serves to limit intake.

    Notes: Abstract There is increasing evidence that the genetic predisposition for schizophrenia in families affects more individuals than those fulfilling the criteria for schizophrenia. This finding is supposed to be one of the major problems in molecular genetic schizophrenia research, especially when linkage studies are employed. Eye-tracking dysfunction (ETD), which is conceived as a possible phenotypic marker for genetic liability to schizophrenia, may offer considerable advantages. However, there is only little information from families with multiple occurrence of schizophrenia. It is still unclear whether in these families ETD aggregates with diagnoses from the schizophrenia spectrum. This first report from an ongoing study presents the results of 48 individuals from 6 multiplex families. Smooth-pursuit eye movements were recorded by infrared reflectometry and assessed by quantitative measurement techniques. Along with the high degree of psychiatric morbidity in these families, in 56.3% of the individuals ETD was assessed. Reduced mean pursuit gain was present in 39.6%. The distribution of eye-tracking dysfunction resembles the distribution of schizophrenia-related psychiatry morbidity.

    Notes: Abstract The genetic control of adult-plant blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans) resistance in a Brassica napus line (579NO48-109-DG-1589), designated “R13” possessing Brassica juncea-like resistance (JR), was elucidated by the analysis of segregation ratios in F2 and F3 populations from a cross between “R13” and the highly blackleg-susceptible B. napus cultivar “Tower”. The F2 segregration ratios were bimodal, demonstrating that blackleg resistance in “R13” was controlled by major genes. Analysis of the segregation ratios for 13 F3 families indicated that blackleg resistance in these families was controlled by three nuclear genes, which exhibited a complex interaction. Randomly sampled plants of F3 progeny all had the normal diploid somatic chromosome number for B. napus. The similarities between the action of the three genes found in this study with those controlling blackleg resistance in B. juncea is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract This study was conducted to compare maize quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection for grain yield and yield components in F2∶3 and F6∶7 recombinant inbred (RI) lines from the same population. One hundred and eighty-six F6∶7 RIs from a Mo17×H99 population were grown in a replicated field experiment and analyzed at 101 loci detected by restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Single-factor analysis of variance was conducted for each locus-trait combination to identify QTL. For grain yield, 6 QTL were detected accounting for 22% of the phenotypic variation. A total of 63 QTL were identified for the seven grain yield components with alleles from both parents contributing to increased trait values. Several genetic regions were associated with more than one trait, indicating possible linked and/or pleiotropic effects. In a comparison with 150 F2∶3 lines from the same population, the same genetic regions and parental effects were detected across generations despite being evaluated under diverse environmental conditions. Some of the QTL detected in the F2∶3 seem to be dissected into multiple, linked QTL in the F6∶7 generation, indicating better genetic resolution for QTL detection with RIs. Also, genetic effects at QTL are smaller in the F6∶7 generation for all traits.

    Notes: Abstract The genetic control of adult-plant blackleg [Leptosphaeria maculans (Desm.) Ces. et De Not.] resistance in rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) was studied in the F2 and first-backcross populations of the cross “Maluka” (blackleg-resistant) x “Niklas” (highly susceptible). A L. maculans isolate possessing high levels of host specificity (MB2) was used in all inoculations. Resistance/susceptibility was evaluated using three separate measures of crown-canker size, i.e. the percentage of crown girdled (%G), external lesion length (E) and internal lesion area (%II). Disease severity scores for the F2 and first-backcross populations based on E and %II gave discontinuous distributions, indicating major-gene control for these measures of resistance; but those for %G were continuous, indicating quantitative genetic control for this measure. Chi-square tests performed on the (poorly-defined) resistance classes, based on E, in the F2 and first-backcross populations indicated the likelihood for resistance being governed by a single, incompletely dominant major gene. Although the distributions of the F2 and first-backcross populations, based on%II, were clearly discontinuous, the observed segregation ratios for resistance and susceptibility did not fit any of the numerous Mendelian ratios which were considered. Differences in inheritance of resistance according to the assessment method and blackleg isolate used, were discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The genetic basis of virulence of 24 isolates of L. maculans collected from various sites throughout south-eastern and south-western Australia were studied using five clone-lines of B. napus. The experimental design allowed the estimation of the environmental and genetic components of variance using a standard analysis of variance. Virulence of these isolates (as measured by the percentage of stem girdling, %G) on the clonelines NCII and Tap was found to be most likely controlled by a small number of genes; the broad-sense heritabilities were 79.7% and 67.5% for virulence on NCII and Tap, respectively. The significance of these results in relation to the potential of L. maculans in adapting to new resistant B. napus cultivars is discussed.

    Notes: Abstract The soybean is a major crop in the agricultural systems of the Brazilian Cerrados (Savannahs), whose soils are acidic, devoid of nutrients and need to be amended before they are cultivated. However, below the ploughed layer there is a scarcity of nutrients and toxic aluminium (Al). These limit root growth, subsequently causing nutritional imbalance and drought stress. Our aim in the investigation described here was to identify genetic differences in the aluminium tolerance of soybeans by a 9 × 9 diallel cross among contrasting varieties grown in high-Al areas and in hydroponics. Combining ability analysis indicated predominantly additive gene effects, and the additive-dominance model explained most of the genetic differences in this germ plasm for mineral element absorption and root growth under aluminium stress. The relationship between the two factors suggest that conjugation hydroponics and field evaluations in breeding programmes would further improve soybeans with respect to yield stability under tropical cultivation conditions.

    Notes: Abstract   This study was conducted to compare maize quantitative trait loci (QTL) detection for grain yield and yield components in F2:3 and F6:7 recombinant inbred (RI) lines from the same population. One hundred and eighty-six F6:7 RIs from a Mo17×H99 population were grown in a replicated field experiment and analyzed at 101 loci detected by restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). Single-factor analysis of variance was conducted for each locus-trait combination to identify QTL. For grain yield, 6 QTL were detected accounting for 22% of the phenotypic variation. A total of 63 QTL were identified for the seven grain yield components with alleles from both parents contributing to increased trait values. Several genetic regions were associated with more than one trait, indicating possible linked and/or pleiotropic effects. In a comparison with 150 F2:3 lines from the same population, the same genetic regions and parental effects were detected across generations despite being evaluated under diverse environmental conditions. Some of the QTL detected in the F2:3 seem to be dissected into multiple, linked QTL in the F6:7 generation, indicating better genetic resolution for QTL detection with RIs. Also, genetic effects at QTL are smaller in the F6:7 generation for all traits.

    Notes: Abstract A study was undertaken to investigate the variability among lowland rice cultivars and the mode of gene action of aluminum (Al) toxicity tolerance in rice. Pregerminated seeds were grown in a nutrient solution containing 30 ppm Al and in normal nutrient solution, and relative root length (RRL) was determined at the 14-day-old stage to characterize genotypes for tolerance. Sixty-two traditional rice cultivars grown on lowland acid sulfate soil areas of Asia and West Africa were tested. Tolerant varieties ‘Azucena’, ‘IRAT104’, and ‘Moroberekan’, moderately sensitive ‘IR29’ and ‘IR43’, and sensitive ‘IR45’ and ‘IR1552’ were used to investigate the genetics of tolerance by diallel analysis. Of the 62 cultivars tested, only 3 were found to be sensitive to A l toxicity. Among the tolerant cultivars identified, 11 (‘Siyam Kuning’, ‘Gudabang Putih’, ‘Siyam’, ‘Lemo’, ‘Khao Daeng’, ‘Siyamhalus’, ‘Bjm-12’, ‘Ketan’, ‘Seribu Gantang’, ‘Bayer Raden Rati’, and ‘Padi Kanji’) were found to possess higher levels of tolerance than the improved tolerant upland cultivar ‘IRAT104’. Diallel analysis revealed that high RRL is governed by both additive and dominance effects with a preponderance of additive effects. The trait exhibited partial dominance, and one group of genes was detected. Heritability was high, and environmenal effects were low. Findings suggest that when breeding for A1 toxicity tolerance, selection can be made in early generations. The pedigree method of breeding would be suitable. Combining ability analysis revealed the importance of both general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) in the genetics of A1 toxicity tolerance in rice. GCA was more prevalent than SCA. Tolerant parens ‘Azucena’, ‘IRAT104’, and ‘Moroberekan’ were the best general combiners. The presence of reciprocal effects among crosses suggested the proper choice of parents in hybridization programs. Results indicated that ‘Azucena’, ‘IRAT 104’, and ‘Moroberekan’ should be used as the female in crosses for A1 toxicity tolerance.

    Notes: Abstract Extreme resistance in cultivated potato (Solanum tuberosum) to potato viruses Y and A (PVY and PVA) conditioned by the presence of Ry genes introduced from Solanum stoloniferum was described by Cockerham (1970). Cockerham detailed a number of genes which controlled a variety of reactions, including extreme resistance to both viruses (i.e. little or no visible reaction of plants and no viral replication following graft and manual inoculation) controlled by gene Ry sto. In the present study, cvs ‘Pirola’ and ‘Barbara’, which contain a Ry gene, were found to have extreme resistance to PVY isolates from the ordinary (PVY°), veinal necrosis (PVYN) and potato tuber necrotic ringspot (PVYNTN) subgroups, and PVA. The inheritance of this phenotype was examined in seedling progenies obtained by crossing ‘Barbara’ and ‘Pirola’ with susceptible cultivars. Segregation data for resistance to PVY and PVA in a progeny involving cv ‘Pirola’ best fitted a genetical model of one gene controlling extreme resistance to both PVY and PVA, although the possibility that there are two genes, each controlling resistance to one virus but closely linked, cannot be excluded. Segregation data from progenies involving cv ‘Barbara’ best fitted a genetical model in which there are two independent genes, one controlling extreme resistance to PVA and PVY and a second gene controlling extreme resistance to PVA but not to PVY. This previously unrecognised gene conferring extreme resistance to PVA only, should be given the notation Ra in keeping with nomenclature used for other resistance genes.

    Notes: Abstract When one or both parents have a history of developmental reading disorder (RD) in childhood, the risk to their offspring for developing reading problems is substantially increased. However, risk research has usually assumed a stability of reading problems across the lifespan (i.e., if a parent was affected in childhood, he or she remains affected in adulthood). Yet, some individuals with RD in childhood compensate for the disorder as they grow older. Both an environmental and genetic hypothesis would predict that the risk for RD in offspring will vary as a function of parental compensation. This study examined whether risk to offspring was dependent on the parents' successful or unsuccessful compensation for their childhood reading problems. Two large family data sets were analyzed (N=907). Diagnoses with either an age discrepant or IQ discrepant criteria essentially showed that having at least one still affected parent (i.e., RD both as a child and as an adult) put the offspring at a higher risk for RD than having at least one compensated parent (i.e., RD as a child but not as an adult). The lowest risk to an offspring occurred when both parents were never affected (i.e., not RD as a child or as an adult). The implications of these findings are discussed with regard to counseling and early diagnosis of reading problems.

    Notes: 4-Amino-1-azadienes 1 react with α,β-unsaturated Fischer carbene complexes at -40°C to give stereoselectively a variety of substituted 3H-4,5-dihydroazepines 3; similarly, 1-hydroxy-1-azadienes (α,β-unsaturated oximes) 6 afforded the corresponding azepine derivatives 7. Chiral, nonracemic carbene complexes 11 gave azepines 12-13 (d.e. = 40-44%) upon reaction with oxime 6a; the major isomers were obtained in a diastereomerically and enantiomerically pure form (45-50% overall yield) after crystallization. An X-ray structure of 12a allowed assignment of the absolute stereochemistry. The acid hydrolysis of azepines synthesized provided racemic and enantiomerically pure 1,6-dicarbonyl compounds (±)-5, (±)-9, and (-)-14, as well as diol (-)-15. The mechanism of the reaction of 1 and 2 was investigated by multinuclear (1H, 13C, 15N, and 183W) NMR characterization of four intermediates (A, B, C, and D) at low temperature. The experimental sequence of events involves: i) 1,2-nucleophilic addition of the unsubstituted imine nitrogen of 1 to the metal carbene function (zwitterion A, -60°C), ii) cyclization to the seven-membered ring with 1,2-migration of the pentacarbonyl metal (zwitterion B, -40°C), iii) reductive elimination and coordination of the metal to the amine nitrogen (intermediate C, -40°C), and iv) thermal decomplexation and tautomerization (intermediate D and compound 3, above -20°C).

    Notes: MLCT excitation of the complexes [Re(R)(CO)3(α-diimine)] (R = Me, Et, benzyl (Bz); α-diimine = iPr-PyCa, R′-DAB) results in the homolysis of the Re-R bond leading to the formation of radicals R. and [Re(CO)3(α-diimine)]. as primary photoproducts. The quantum yield of this photoprocess is dependent on the alkyl group used. For R = Me, the quantum yield is low (10-2) and depends on the temperature and excitation wave-length, whereas for R = Et and Bz the quantum yield is near unity and independent of T and λexc. The reaction is shown to proceed via a σ(Re-R)π* excited state that is rapidly (〈 20 ps) populated by a nonradiative transition from the optically excited MLCT state. Time-resolved IR and UV/Vis absorption spectra studied in the ns-μs and ps-μs time domains, respectively, show that the σπ* excited state is rather long-lived (τ ≈ 250 ns) in noncoordinating solvents; the dissociation of the Re-R bond from this state is strongly accelerated by polar or coordinating solvents (τσπ*〈 20 ps). The σπ* excited state is spectroscopically characterized by a (presumably σπ* → MLCT) transition at approximately 500 nm and by CO stretching frequencies closely resembling their ground-state values. The relative energies of the MLCT and reactive σπ* states, controlled by the nature of the alkyl lig-and, determine the photoreactivity of the complexes.

    Notes: A “starburst”-type nonadiazo compound was designed and synthesized by using the cyclotrimerization of 3,5-dibenzylphenyl ethynyl ketone as a key step. The diazo compound was photolyzed in methyltetrahydrofuran solid solution at cryogenic temperatures and analyzed by means of Faraday magnetometry and EPR spectroscopy. While the m-phenylene-connected nonacarbene was predicted to have a nonadecet (S = 9) ground state, the magnetic data of the photoproduct was more consistent with a pentadecet (S = 7) species. The result was interpreted in terms of the intramolecular cross-linking between the carbene centers by the determination of both the amount and the multiplicity of the spin. In the “starburst”-type polycarbenes with extended branching, the reactive carbene centers are able to approach one another and thus appear to readily recombine. This study highlights one of the limitations of the extension of the carbene network by way of flexible “starburst”-type structures.

    Notes: The reaction of acetophenone with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide affords the tetrabutylammonium enolate of phenyl (2-hydroxy-2-phenyl)propyl ketone. The crystal structure of this chiral enolate shows intramolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group and the enolate oxygen atom. Furthermore, the α-methylene units of the ammonium counterion form hydrogen bonds to the basic enolate C and O atoms and to the O atom of the hydroxy group. This three-point bonding occurs selectively on the Re,Re side, a phenomenon which may be responsible for the direction of diastereo-selectivity in the epoxide-forming reaction of the enolate with N-bromosuccinimide.

    Notes: The bonding in the recently reported Cs3 Te22 phase, which contains both Te8 rings and remarkable Te6 sheets, is studied by approximate molecular orbital theory. Our focus is on the geometric and electronic features of the unique 2,3-connected Te net found as a substructure in this phase. The calculations show that both the linear and T-shaped Te geometries in the 2,3-connected Te net of Cs3 Te22 are determined by their particular electron count. Both types of tellurium atoms are hypervalent; we make connections to other well known hypervalent molecules, such as XeF2, I3-, and BrF3. Several possible variations and distortions of this net are discussed, all of which are found to be less stable. The discrete crown-shaped Te8 units that appear in the phase show normal covalent bonding and should occur in smaller molecular entities, too. According to our computations, Cs3 Te22 should be metallic. Two structurally related phases, CsTe7 and Cs2 Te15, are suggested.

    Notes: The biscyclopentadienyldicarbonyl derivatives of zirconium(II) and hafnium(II) ([MCp2(CO)2]; M=Zr, Hf) promote the reductive coupling of coordinated carbon monoxide to give, in the presence of N,N-dialkylcarbamtes of the tetravalent metals [M(O2CNR2)4], the ketenylidene complexes [M3Cp2(μ2-CCO)-(μ3-O)(O2CNR2)6] (1 a: M=Zr, R=Et; 1 b: M=Zr, R=iPr; 2: M=Hf, R=iPr). The yields of the isolated zirconium complexes are as high as 60%, while that of the hafnium derivative is 40%. The X-ray crystal structure analysis of 1 b shows that it consists of trinuclear molecules, with the three zirconium atoms held together by the bidentate C2O ligand, by the tridentate bridging oxide and by the bidentate carbamato groups. Labelling experiments with [ZrCp2(13CO)2] show that the ketenylidene ligand originates from the coordinated CO groups. These ketenylidene complexes, which are rare examples of compounds containing a CCO but no CO ligand, are characterized by an intense IR band at about 2015 cm-1, associated with the bridging C2O ligand. The ketenylidene group of 1 b was readily removed and replaced by a bidentate μ-oxo ligand of the same hapticity by reaction with carbon dioxide or acetone or by thermal decomposition. The resulting product [Zr3Cp2(μ-O)(μ3-O)-(O2CNiPr2)6] (3) crystallizes in the same space group as 1 b and with similar cell constants and bond parameters.

    Notes: The reaction of MgCOT(thf)x with tBuBF2 or PhBCl2 affords the first 9-borabarbaralanes 2 (C8H8BR, a: R = tBu; b: R=Ph). With the aminoboron dihalides BCl2NiPr2 and BCl2N(SiMe3)tBu 9-borabicyclo[4.2.1]-nona-2,4,7-trienes 3 (a: R=NiPr2, b: R=N(SiMe3)tBu) and the trans-9-borabicyclo[4.3.0]nona-2,4,7-triene 4 are obtained. The bicyclic compounds 3a and 3 b are converted into 9-borabarbaralanes 2c and 2 d, respectively, by irradiation in solution as well as by heating. All 9-borabarbaralanes 2 are fluxional in solution. In the crystalline state, the B-phenyl derivative 2b displays a well-ordered van der Waals crystal structure. The theoretical prediction that the degenerate Cope rearrangement in barbaralanes will be retarded by π-acceptor groups in the 9 position has been verified. Quantum chemical calculations employing density functional theory support and help interpret the experimental findings. The isoelectronic 9-barbaralyl cations, in contrast, have such high Cope barriers that other rearrangement pathways are followed instead.

    Notes: The solvent effect on the NMR chemical shielding in liquid water is calculated from a combination of molecular dynamics simulations and quantum chemical calculations for protons and 17O. The simulations are performed with three different potentials, ab initio as well as empirical ones, to study the influence of the force field. From the liquid configurations obtained in these simulations, molecules are randomly chosen together with neighbouring molecules to give clusters of water typical for the liquid at the selected temperature and density. Different cluster sizes are studied. The clusters are treated as supermolecules in quantum chemical calculations of chemical shifts by sum-over-states density functional perturbation theory with individual gauge for localised orbitals. The influence of the quantum chemical method is studied with an ab initio coupled Hartree-Fock gauge including atomic orbitals calculations with different basis sets for a selected cluster. An average over clusters yields the chemical shielding in the liquid at the selected temperature and density. The calculated values for the gas-liquid shift, which are in best agreement with experiment, are -3.2 ppm (exp. -4.26 ppm) for the proton and -37.6 ppm (exp. -36.1 ppm) for 17O, but the results depend strongly on the chosen interatomic potential.

    Notes: The increase in energy of the sp anionic band on going from oxides to the less electronegative sulfides, selenides, or tellurides (with a similar trend in neighboring columns) facilitates anion-cation redox interactions involving the d levels of transition metal cations and the sp levels of anionic species. The interactions can induce phase transitions or gradual change within a given structural model. When a cation is reduced by electron transfer to its d levels from the sp band, holes appear at the top of the latter. Interesting soft chemistry can be carried out based on redox processes that neutralize the holes with electrons. This approach also allows particular structural types to be stabilized. Three structural domains can be recognized amongst the transition elements: 1) on the left-hand side of the periodic table layered structures are observed involving M4+ and (chalcogen)2- ions; 2) formation of sets of metal-metal bonds is then observed, the geometry of which depends on both the initial electron population and the electron transfer to the metal; 3) on the right-hand side the metals in their highest oxidation state are no longer active, and the holes at the top of the sp band are taken up by a catenation of the anions, which can lead to full polymerization of the anionic sublattice.

    Notes: A series of iron-containing metallodendrimers from the zeroth to the third generation was synthesized and characterized. The iron(II) ion of these metal complexes is encapsulated within a hydrophobic polyether dendritic envelope. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis revealed that the bonding environment of the iron atom was essentially ronment of the iron atom was essentially the same in dendrimers of different generations. However, cyclic voltammetry studies indicated that the reversibility of the metal redox process decreased in the higher-generation dendrimers. These observations were similar to those of a related electrochemical study conducted on the redox protein cytochrome C, in which the decrease in electron transfer reversibility was explained as a result of the increasing remoteness of the metal ion of the higher-generation dendrimers from the electrode surface.

    Notes: The iron(II) complex [Fe(bpp)2]-(CF3SO3)2 H2O (bpp = 2,6-bis(pyrazolyl-3-yl)pyridine) shows a thermal spin transition associated with a hysteresis of approximately 140 K width. The transition temperatures T1/2 (where the fraction of HS species γHS = 0.5) are 147 K and ≍285 K in the cooling and heating directions, respectively. The compound shows the LIESST and reverse-LIESST effects at low temperatures. The relaxation of the metastable HS states generated by LIESST was observed quantitatively at temperatures between 77.5 and 85 K by Mössbauer spectroscopy. Metastable HS states can also be generated by rapid cooling of the sample. The relaxation of the metastable HS states formed by thermal spin-state trapping was monitored at temperatures between 104 and 118 K by magnetic susceptibility measurements. The relaxation mechanisms of the HS states generated by LIESST and thermal spinstate trapping are completely different. We suggest that the HS → LS relaxation after thermal spin-state trapping is triggered by an additional structural phase transition of the system.

    Notes: Enantiopure homoallylic alcohols 5, which are important building blocks in organic synthesis, are obtained with an ee of greater than 99% and a yield of 75-95% by cleavage of the secondary homoallylic ethers 4 using sodium in liquid ammonia. The ethers 4 are formed with excellent diastereoselectivity and in 52-89% yield by treatment of the aldehydes 1 with the trimethylsilyl ether of N-trifluoroacetylnorpseudoephedrine (2) in the presence of a catalytic amount of TMS triflate or TMS borontriflate, followed by addition of allylsilane 3. Nearly all achiral aliphatic aldehydes employed gave a diastereoselectivity of over 99:1. With the chiral aldehydes 24, the difference between matched and mismatched pairs was low; this reveals that there is strong reagent control.

    Notes: We examine the density-dependent metal-nonmetal transition (MNMT) for the Group 1 elements hydrogen, rubidium and caesium. Remarkably, the experimentally observed metallization densities agree closely with those predicted from the 1927 classical theory of K. F. Herzfeld, which outlines the critical conditions necessary for the metallization of any element of the periodic system. The metallization densities of the alkali metal elements are also consistent with the quantum mechanical theory of the MNMT, as first set out by Sir Nevill Mott.

    Notes: The energetics of ternary oxide formation is reasonably well understood, but little is known of the energetics of ternary nitride formation. We have developed new procedures for high-temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry on metal nitrides and employed them to study compounds in the Ca/Zn/N system. The calorimetry utilized the easy reduction of MoO3 in the solvent to supply a pathway for rapid oxidation of “N3-” to N2 gas. These experiments represent the first high-temperature solution calorimetry of ternary metal nitrides. The results indicate that Ca3N2 acts as a basic nitride analogous to CaO in oxide systems, while Zn3N2 acts as an acidic nitride (“N3-” acceptor) in this ternary nitride system.

    Notes: In the design of novel protein ligands one of the major challenges is the replacement of functional groups to modify and improve the binding characteristics. Often nitrogen- and oxygen-containing groups are exchanged, or both atoms occur in a competitive situation. We have investigated the hydrogen-bonding abilities of oxygen atoms covalently bound to two non-hydrogen atoms of which at least one is formally assigned to an sp2-type hybridization. In particular, examples in which such oxygen atoms compete with nitrogen atoms in the same molecular segment have been studied. Based on interaction energies obtained from ab initio calculations for complexes of these molecules with water, the oxygen atoms can be classified as rather weak hydrogen-bond acceptors; nitrogen atoms present in the same fragment exhibit much stronger interaction energies. The ab initio results are confirmed by the relative frequencies with which oxygen and nitrogen atoms are found to be involved in hydrogen bonding in the crystal structures of organic molecules containing the fragments of interest.

    Notes: Highly efficient ruthenium-catalyzed Oppenauer-type oxidations of secondary alcohols to ketones have been developed. The catalytic system consists of [(PPh3)3RuCl2] (1) and K2CO3 or [(C4Ph4COHOCC4Ph4)(μ-H)(CO)4Ru2] (2) in refluxing acetone. The catalytic reaction is of high efficiency and permits a catalyst: substrate ratio of 1:1000 at 56 °C. In some cases the initial turnover rate exceeds 1500 h-1. The reaction was found to be general and compatible with double bonds and oxidation-sensitive aromatics. With some allylic alcohols, isomerization to saturated ketones took place. The reaction proceeds by ruthenium-catalyzed dehydrogenation of the alcohol and subsequent hydrogen transfer to acetone. No primary kinetic isotope effect was observed for the catalytic reaction when α-deuterated 1-phenylethanol was employed as substrate (kH/kD=1.1); this shows that β-hydride elimination from a ruthenium alkoxide intermediate is not the rate-limiting step.

    Notes: The reaction of [IrH2Cl(PiPr3)2] (2) with the pentadiyne derivative HC≡C—C≡C—CPh2OH (1) yields the five-coordinate compound [IrH(C≡C—C≡CPh2OH)Cl(PiPr3)2] (3), which photochemically rearranges to give the vinylidene-substituted isomer trans-[IrCl(=C=CH-C≡CPh2OH)(PiPr3)2] (4). On treatment of 3 with pyridine, the octahedral complex [IrH (C≡C—C≡CPh2OH)Cl(py)(PiPr3)2] (5) is formed. While attempts to eliminate water from 4 (or 5) failed, the reaction of 3 with one equivalent of trifluorosulfonic acid anhydride and two equivalents of triethylamine led to the formation of trans-[IrCl(=C=C=C=C=CPh2)(PiPr3)2] (6), which is the first neutral transition-metal complex containing a C5R2 ligand. The X-ray structural analysis of 6 reveals a perfect square-planar coordination geometry around the metal centre and an almost linear IrC5 chain with Ir-C—C and C—C—C bond angles of 174-179°.

    Notes: We have shown that it is possible to inhibit the transfer of magnetization in a system with several exchanging sites in dynamic equilibrium, as in a mixture of cis- and trans-ZrCl4L2 with excess free ligand L (L = (CH3O)3PO). The forward and backward reaction rates involving two selected sites can be studied while the effect of competing exchange processes is “quenched”. This can be achieved either by selective inversion of the magnetization of the two chosen sites in the course of the reaction interval, or alternatively by inversion of the magnetization of all other sites in the exchange network. The rate of exchange from the free to the cis site was determined to be kcis←free = 0.018 s-1. In the usual methods, this process would tend to be overshadowed by the almost two hundred times faster competing exchange process from the cis to the trans site (Ktrans←cis = 3.32 s-1).

    Notes: Structures and conformations of the azaenolate lithium salts of amides (formamide, acetamide, and N-methylacetamide) and of the dipeptide model N-formylalaninamide were investigated by means of ab initio MO theory. Four possible structures of the lithiated C-enolates of acetamide were also included in the study. All structures were calculated at the HF/6-31+G(d) and MP2(fc)/6-31 + G(d)/HF/6-31 + G(d) levels; the lithiated azaenolates of formamide were also investigated at higher theoretical levels (up to MP4(fc)/6-311 + G(d,p)/MP2(fc)/6-311 + G(d,p)). For the lithiated azaenolates of all amides investigated, the most stable structure contains a four-membered ring in which the lithium ion is complexed by the oxygen and nitrogen atoms; the substituents attached to the carbon and nitrogen atoms of the azaenolate are in a cis arrangement. The lithiated azaenolates of acetamide are predicted to be more stable than the corresponding C-enolates. To simulate solvation, calculations on complexes of the lithiated azaenolates of formamide with up to three molecules dimethyl ether were also performed, and all azaenolates of amides were also reoptimized by ab initio reaction-field calculations. Both solvation models reduce the preference for lithium-chelated cis structures. The Ramachandran maps of the dilithiated bis(azaenolate) of N-formylalaninamide (having cis or trans arrangements of the azaenolate substituents) were scanned by MNDO calculations for conformational accessible regions. Thirteen stable structures were subsequently optimized at the HF/6-31 + G(d) ab initio level. The global minimum resembles a peptide in C7 conformation, but other conformations, not known for peptides, are close in energy. The structures of dimers of the lithiated azaenolates of N-methylacetamide and of glycinaldehyde were also calculated. The NMR chemical shielding of carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms in all structures were predicted ab initio by using the gauge-including atomic orbital (GIAO) method.

    Notes: Oxidative ruthenium catalysis (0.07 molequiv RuCl3·(H2o)3, 1.5 molequiv NaIO4, EtOAc/CH3CH3CN/H2O 3:3:1), beyond the usual C—C bond cleavage to give dicarbonyls, has been shown to syn-dihydroxylate a wide range of alkenes (except for strained bicyclic alkenes, sterically hindered trisubstituted alkenes, and most tetrasubstituted alkenes) to give vicinal diols rapidly (within minutes) and efficiently. The minor products are the usual oxidative fission products, namely, ketones and aldehydes or carboxylic acids, and sometimes ketols. Longer reaction times lower the yields of most diols, probably owing to oxidative glycol cleavage. Reactions with substrates containing one or more electron-with-drawing groups in conjugation with or adjacent to the alkene moiety are generally slower but give better yields. The diastereoselectivity of the present “flash” dihydroxylation, anti to the existing α-stereogenic center, with cycloalkenes is excellent whereas that with acyclic alkenes is moderate to poor. Sodium metaperiodate is still the best co-oxidant for the catalytic reaction. Aqueous acetonitrile (approximately 86%) as an alternative solvent system was found to give better yields of 1,2-diols than the original solvent system in some cases.

    Notes: Reaction of gluconolactone 2 with allylmagnesium bromide at low temperatures afforded ketopyranose 3, which could easily be converted into open-chain ketoses (R)-6 and (S)-6. Their reaction with lithioacetylide 9 afforded propargylic alcohol derivatives (R)-10 and (S)-10, which could not be cyclized directly to the desired C-ketosides. They were converted by standard procedures into (R)-14 and (S)-14 and then into dicobalthexacarbonyl complexes (R)-16 and (S)-16. A facile acid-catalyzed ring closure gave the desired C-ketosides (R)-18 α/β and (S)-18α/β, respectively, in different ratios. In order to demonstrate that removal of the protective groups and hydrogenation of the CC triple bond proceed smoothly, (R)-18 α was transformed into the deprotected target molecule (R)-1 α. For the assignment of the new chiral centers at C-2/2′ and at C-8, (S)-18α was transformed into azido derivative (S)-22α, which underwent intramolecular cycloaddition to afford the spiro derivative (S)-25α. Because of the conformational constraints in this molecule, unequivocal configurational assignment was possible with the help of NMR data.

    Notes: Secondary phosphines such as HPPh2 and to the cationic iron dienyl complex [η5-(1R)-ethylnopadienyl)Fe-(CO)3]+ (1) by nucleophilic addition. The phosphonium salt initially formed is readily deprotonated to yield an optically active tertiary phosphine [(n4-(1 R)-ethylnopadienePPh2)Fe(CO)3] (2b). A similar reaction also occurs with [C6H7Fe-(CO)3]+ (3) and [C7H9Fe(CO)3]+ (4) to give [(C6H7PPh2)Fe(CO)3] (5) and [(C7H9PPh2)Fe(CO)3] (6) in good yields. The mechanism of formation of these novel phosphines is discussed. Complex 2 b crystallizes in the space group P212121 (no. 19); 5 crystallizes in the space group P21/c (no. 14). Like other monodentate optically active phosphines, 2 b is capable of coordinating to transition metal complexes. It forms palladium complexes on reaction with [{μ-chloro(allyl)palladium}2] as well as with [{μ-chloro[(N,N-dimethylamino-kN-2-methyl)phenyl-kC]palladium}2] (11). The latter reaction product crystallizes in the space group P31 (no. 144).

    Notes: An efficient polycondensation-cyclization approach to the synthesis of cyclodextrin analogues is demonstrated by the preparation of cyclohexaoside 1 and cyclooctaoside 2. The key intermediate, disaccharide 3, bearing the cyanoethylidene group as a glycosyl donor function and the trityloxy group as a glycosyl acceptor function was prepared in 15 steps starting from L-rhamnose and D-mannose. The crucial cyclooligomerization of the disaccharide monomer 3 was carried out in the presence of TrClO4 as a promoter with the use of ultra-dry conditions at normal concentrations. This reaction led to formation of the cyclic oligosaccharides 28 and 29 (in 34 and 31% yield, respectively), which were deprotected to afford 1 and 2, respectively. The X-ray crystal structural analysis of the cyclooctaoside 2 reveals a cylindrical shape for the cyclic oligosaccharide with C4 symmetry. Individual molecules of 2 are arranged perfectly in stacks that form nanotubes in the solid state.

    Notes: A general stepwise approach is described for the preparation of tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-based linear and monoand dimacrocyclic compounds incorporating one or two 1,4-dioxyphenylene, 9,10-dioxyanthrylene, or 1,5- or 2,6-dioxynaphthylene units from readily available starting materials. By utilizing the π-π stacking interactions of the TTF unit with the dipyridinium dication of 1,1′-[1,4-phenylenebis (methylene)] bis-4,4′-bipyridinium bis(hexafluorophosphate), a rotaxane and two [2]catenanes were synthesized starting from the linear and monomacrocyclic compounds, respectively. From the dioxyphenylene-based dimacrocycle, three [3]pseudocatenanes (trans, cis, and a mixture of cis/trans isomers) were obtained with the trans compound as the major product. From the dioxyanthrylene dimacrocycle, only the trans-[3]pseudocatenane was obtained. Catenane products were formed quantitatively from the 1,5-dioxynaphthylene dimacrocycle in a template-directed reaction, affording a trans-[3]pseudo-catenane together with a [4]pseudocatenane (mixture of cis/trans isomers). From the 2,6-dioxynaphthylene dimacrocycle, a cis-[3]pseudocatenane was obtained as the major product and a trans-[3]pseudocatenane as the minor one. For the [3]pseudocatenanes (i.e., both the cis and trans catenanes), in which the TTF units were clamped by the tetracationic macrocycle, isomerizations were completely prevented even in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. All new rotaxanes and catenanes were characterized by electrospray mass spectrometry, and the cis- and trans- [3]pseudocatenanes were additionally investigated by 1H NMR spectroscopy. The electrochemical and spectral properties of the rotaxane and the catenanes are reported. Catenane formation increases the redox potentials of the TTF unit. The results demonstrate the versatility of TTF as a building block in the construction of supramolecular structures.

    Notes: Hydrobromination of quinidine (1) with fuming HBr furnished diastereomeric secondary bromides 2a and 2b in 82% yield. After acetylation the resulting bromides 2a-Ac and 2b-Ac could be separated na dconverted stereospecifically into ethylidene rubanes Z)-4 and (E)-4, respectively. cis-Dihydroxylation of (Z)-olefin 4 with OsO4 was shown to be feasible by two catalytic variants, giving the two diastereomeric diols 5a and 5b, separable by chromatography. A simple onepot procedure was developed for converting the sterically hindered 1,2-secondary, tertiary diols stereospecifically into spiroepoxides (5a 6a-Ac; 5b 6b-Ac). Our procedure involves overall inversion of configuration. The procedure complements the Kolb-Sharpless route to epoxides from 1,2-disecondary diols with overall retention of configuration. The other two diastereomeric spiroepoxides 6c and 6d were prepared in one pot under different conditions (chloramine T, then alkali). Two unprecedented tricyclic allylic N,O-acetals (Z)-7 and (E)-7 were also obtained. The structure of spiroepoxide 6c (as a CH2Cl2 monosolvate) and of tricyclic olefinic N,O-acetal (E)-7 was corroborated by X-ray crystallography.

    Notes: Complexation of the configurationally labile α-phenylselenoalkyllithium compound 8 with 1,2-bisdimethylaminocyclohexane 15 led to two diastereomeric complexes 13 and 14 in a 7:3 ratio. Owing to ligand acceleration the complexes 13 and 14 added more rapidly to benzaldehyde than the uncomplexed organolithium compound 8. Trapping of complexes 13 and 14 by benzaldehyde was shown to occur more rapidly than their equilibration. This corresponds to non-Curtin-Hammett kinetics, in which enantiomeric enrichment in the products reflects the equilibrium ratio of the complexes 13 and 14.

    Notes: Identical- and mixed-chain di(polyprenyl) phosphates, derived from 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol, (E)-geraniol, (E,E)-farnesol, (E,E,E)-geranylgeraniol, (R)-citronellol, or (R)-tetrahydrogeraniol have been synthesized by phosphitylation and oxidation with iodine/water. These phosphates gave organized systems in water, in particular vesicles, the physical properties of which were studied by photon correlation spectroscopy, electron microscopy, entrapment of a fluorescent dye (calcein), 31P NMR, stopped-flow/light-scattering studies, and fluorescence polarization with lipophilic probes. Interdigitation of mixed-length phosphates was not found to have any favorable effect on the stability of the vesicles. The C〉15 vesicles were formed despite the fact that they are composed of only one molecular species and are devoid of any reinforcer, but those with two geranyl chains appeared to be rather fragile. Phosphates containing C5 chains are soluble in water. The results obtained lend weight to the hypothesis that polyprenyl phosphates might have been primitive membrane constituents, and stimulate the search for appropriate reinforcers.

    Notes: The longest molecular ribbons known to date (3-10), composed of a series of [3.3]metacyclophane units, have been synthesised by means of a repetitive synthetic strategy. These multiple ring systems with up to nine bridged benzene rings in a row are the longest structurally perfect cyclophane sequences known to date. The synthetic strategy comprises three steps: ester reduction to a tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) compound, derivatisation to the corresponding tetrakis(bromomethyl) derivative, and double cyclisation with the new key building block 14, which was especially developed for this sequence. Single-crystal X-ray analyses (3 a-7 a) and 1H NMR spectroscopy (3-10) show that, regardless of their length, these molecules adopt zigzag folded all-syn conformations. π-Stacks of nanometre dimensions are thus formed.

    Notes: Quantium mechanical calculations at the MP2/6-31 G(d) level are reported for the silaguanidinium cation Si(NH2)3+ (1) and derivatives thereof. The equilibrium structure 1a has D3 symmetry with planar amino groups rotated out of the SiN3 plane by 19.60. The Si-N bond length of 1 a (1.658 Å) is intermediate between a single and a double bond. Isodesmic reactions show that the stabilization of the silylium cation 1 a by the amino groups (63.5 kcal mol-1) is about 40% of the resonance stabilization of the guanidinium cation (159.3 kcal mol-1), but 1 a is clearly better stabilized than alkyl-substituted silylium cations. The electronic stabilization of 1 a by the amino groups is also made obvious by the calculated complexation energy with one molecule of water. The calculated stabilization through complexation of water at HF/6- 31 G(d) is markedly lower for Si(NH2)3-(H2O)+ (6) (28.8 kcal mol-1) than for SiMe3(H2O)+ (40.6 kcal mol-1). The tris(dimethylamino) silylium cation Si(N-Me2)3+ (8) is even more stable than 1 a. The complexation energy of Si(NMe2)3-(H2O)+ (10) is only 17.3 kcal mol-1. IGLO calculations of the 29Si N M R chemical shifts predict that 1 a and 8 should not show the same extremely low shielding that is calculated for alkyl-sub-stituted silylium ions. The calculated 29Si resonances for 8 are in reasonable agreement with the experimental N M R spectrum of (Me2N)3 SiB(C6F5)4. AM 1 calculations predict that the substituted tripyrrolidino silylium cation 12 would be an even better candidate for a stable tricoordinate silylium cation in condensed phases. One of the pyrrolidine rings of 12 has tert-butyl groups in the 2 and 5 positions, which serve as a steric fence around the silicon atom.

    Notes: The zwitterionic aza-Claisen rearrangement of optically active 3-pyrrolidine acryl esters and various acid chlorides to generate optically active azoninones proceeds with high simple diastereoselectivity (internal asymmetric induction) and a complete 1,3-chirality transfer. The reaction path observed depends on the subsitution pattern of the allylic system: while the more electron-rich alkylated allyl amine fromed predominantly von Braun type products, the α,β-unsaturated esters could be rearranged with high yields. The azoniones thus obtained were treated with electrophiles, inducing regio- and diastereoselective transannular ring contractions. The resulting indolizidinones should be useful key intermediates in alkaloid synthesis.

    Notes: A series of hitherto unknown N-(pent-4-enyl-1-oxy)pyridine-2(1 H)-thiones (6) were prepared from substituted pent-4-enyl tosylates or benzylic chlorides. On irradiation with incandescent light heterocycles 6 liberated alkoxy radicals 2, which were studied for rearrangement reactions. Surprisingly, all transformations involving the 1-phenylpent-4-enyl-1-oxy radical (2a), for example, to give the substituted thioether 8, 2-bro-momethyl-5-phenyltetrahydrofuran (11), or the tetrahydrofuran 14a, were not stereoselective. On the other hand 2-, 3- mono-, and 1,5-disubstituted pent-4-enyl-1-oxy radicals 2d-e and 2g cyclized in good yields and with good to excellent stereoselectivities to give the corresponding 2,4-cis- and 2,3-trans-phenyltetra-hydrofurfuryl radicals 3d-e, and the trans-2-benzyl-5-methyl substituted intermediate 3g. The major reaction mode of the 4-phenylpent-4-enyl-1-oxy radical (2f) was the 6-endo cyclization, which afforded 3-phenyltetrahydropyran (13f) as the major product (endo:exo = 93:7) after trapping with hydrogen donors. According to the experimental data of the present study, the unusual reactivity of the 1-phenylpent-4-enyl-1-oxy radical (2a) in 5-exo-trig ring closures could be caused by a coplanar arrangement of the benzyloxy moiety in the transition state of the cyclization. This interaction would lock the radical center in 2a in a preferred conformation, which would result in similar steric effects for both cis- and trans- cyclizations.

    Notes: The electron-transfer behavior of the binary iron chalcogenides FeO and FeS has been examined by means of mass spectrometry and ab initio calculations using the averaged coupled-pair functional (ACPF) method. The experimental and theoretical results are in good agreement with each other and also with previous studies. The ionization energies (IE) of the diatomic species are found to be IE(FeO) = 8.8±0.2 eV, IE(FeO+) = 17.9±0.4 eV, IE(FeS) = 8.3±0.3 eV, and IE(FeS+) = 16.3±0.5 eV. Two new diatomic dications, FeS2+ and FeO2+, are shown to exist as metastable minima on the corresponding potential-energy surfaces. The data enable an evaluation of the intrinsic gas-phase redox properties of FeS and FeO, and the comparison demonstrates that iron sulfide is more prone to undergo facile reduction and oxidation than iron oxide.

    Notes: An additivity rule for proton affinities (PAS) in polysubstituted benzenes is derived from the MP2(fc)/6-31 G**//HF/6-31 G* + ZPE(HF/6-31 G*) theoretical model by use of the concepts of homodesmic reactions and independent substituents. The performance of the additivity rule of thumb is very good; this is evidenced by the excellent agreement of the estimated PAS with the latest experimental data. We believe that the additivity should work for larger aromatic compounds too. The PA increments, which characterize the influence of each substituent on a particular site of the benzene ring undergoing electrophilic substitution, proved useful in discussing various chemical properties of this family of compounds.

    Notes: For the first time, solid-gas reaction techniques have been used for the synthesis and processing of thin films of boron nitride. Clear to intensely colored blue BN films were grown on Si(100) substrates by the transformation of borazine (B3N3H6) with a titanium complex as initiator under flowing nitrogen gas. The thickness of the films ranged from 70 to 100 nm, as determined by Rutherford backscattering (RBS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) analyses. The intensity of the blue color of the thin film can be correlated to its thickness. The composition of the film determined by RBS studies corresponds to the stoichiometric formula B0.49N0.45O0.06, and N/B and O/B ratios are found to be 0.92 and 0.12, respectively. Nitrogen contents determined by nuclear reaction analysis agree well with the RBS results. Moreover, Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) measurements show that no titanium is present in the films and confirm the composition determined by RBS studies. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) shows the presence of boron and nitrogen in the blue BN film. Electron spin resonance (ESR) experiments at 293 and 12 K indicate a single broad signal with a g value (g = 2.005) close to that of a free electron. This synthetic approach provides opportunities for the preparation of new thin-film materials and for the fundamental study of solid-gas reactions.

    Notes: A series of mono- and dimetallic complexes of rack type containing a dinucleating bis-tridentate ligand and RuII-2,2′:6′,2′-terpyridyl (tpy) sites were synthesised and characterised. The 1H NMR spectra of the dimetallic complexes were correlated to structural features, and the crystal structures of the dimetallic complexes were determined. They provide information about the way in which the central substitutent affects the overall shape of the racks and the relative disposition of the metal centres, measured by the pinching angle of the bis-tridentate ligand and the convergence angle of the ancillary tpy units. The latter demonstrates that a CH3 group yields the least bent complex and indicates how parallel the tpy units are. The dimetallic racks exhibit metal-metal interactions mediated by the bis-tridentate ligands as indicated by electrochemical and spectroscopic methods. The bridging-ligand π* orbital and the dπ metal orbital are stabilised by complexation of a second metal. The results obtained provide guidelines for the design of extended racks bearing several metal centres in a linear arrangement, which also represent potential components of molecular electronic devices.

    Notes: Organometallic dipeptide ester complexes of the general formula [(L)M(Cl)(K2-NH2CH2CONCH2CO2R)] (1: L=Cp*, M=Rh, 2: L=Cp*, M=Ir, 3: L=η6-C6Me6, M=Ru) react smoothly with various α-L-amino acid esters in the presence of NEt3 to yield the tripeptide ester complexes [(L)M(Cl)(K2-NH2CHR'CONCH2CONHCH2CO2R)] (5-7). In the same fashion chloro K2-tetrapeptide ester complexes 10 and 11 are obtained either from tripeptide ester complexes or by subsequent addition of two equivalents of amino acid ester to a dipeptide ester complex. When the strong base NaOMe is used in the reaction of the diglycine ester compounds with amino acid esters. K3-tripeptide ester complexes 12 and 13 are produced, in which one of the two coordinated peptide nitrogen atoms is pyramidal. The hexamethylbenzene ruthenium complexes 13 with tripeptide ligands are formed with very high diastereoselectivity. A plausible reaction mechanism for the metal-promoted peptide synthesis is presented. Synthesis and isolation of the peptide esters proceeds without racemization.

    Notes: Three series of regioisomeric bisadducts of C60, namely, C62(anisyl)4 and the mixed systems C62(anisyl)2-(COOEt)2, and C61(COOEt)2(NCOOEt), were synthesized starting from the 1,2-monoadducts C61(COOEt)2 (1), C61-(anisyl)2 (2), and C60(NCOOEt) (4) by using the Bingel and Bamford-Stevens reactions, and nitrene additions. In the case of C61(COOEt)2(NCOOEt) the complete series of nine possible regioisomers were isolated for the first time. For steric reasons the cis-1 isomers of C62(anisyl)4 and C62(anisyl)2(COOEt)2 were not formed. The transannular [6,6] bonds in the cis-1 isomer 42 of C61(COOEt)2(NCOOEt) are closed. The properties and regioselectivities of formation of these bisadducts and their monoadduct precursors were compared with those of the series C62-(COOEt)4 and C60(NCOOEt)2, which we synthesized previously. In the additions to 1, 2, and 4 the preferred positions of attack are e and trans-3 for sterically demanding addends (e.g., combinations of C(anisyl)2 and C(COOEt)2) and cis-1, e, and trans-3 for sterically less demanding addends (e.g., combinations of N(COOEt) and C(COOEt)2). A detailed analysis of the MO structures, the experimental and calculated geometries of monoadduct precursors, and the stabilities of reaction products leads to the conclusion that the addend-independent cage distortion itself is responsible for the observed regioselectivities of bisadduct formations.

    Notes: The electron self-exchange rate constant for the Type 1 blue copper protein umecyanin from horseradish roots has been determined as 6.1 × 103 M-1 S-1 at pH 7.5, I = 0.100 M, 25°C by an NMR line-broadening method. The value obtained is one of the lower self-exchange rate constants determined for this class of protein; this is attributed to the presence of positively charged residues near to the electron-transfer site. The self-exchange rate constants calculated by means of a Marcus analysis of data for the cross-reactions (25°C) of umecyanin with azurin and cytochrome c551 (both from Pseudomonas aeruginosa) are substantially less at 8.0M-1 S-1 and 13.9M-1S-1, respectively, and are independent of pH in the range 7.0-8.0, I = 0.100M. The discrepancy between the self-exchange rate constants obtained by these two different methods can be rationalised if it is assumed that umecyanin reacts with the two proteins employed in the cross-reaction studies through the same site, but that this site is different from that used for the self-exchange process. A comparison of the primary structure of umecyanin with those of other Type 1 copper proteins has revealed that a glutamine rather than a methionine is likely as the fourth ligand of Cu at the active site. Other comparisons are made with stellacyanin, and the electron-transfer reactivity of the two proteins is discussed.

    Notes: The reaction between diarylthiones and [Mo2(OCH2tBu)6] in hydrocarbon solvents yielded [Mo2(OCH2tBu)6-(μ-S)(=CAr2)] by cleavage of the C=S double bond. The Lewis base adduct [Mo2 (OCH2tBu)6(μ-S) (=CPh2) (PMe3)] (2) has been crystallographically characterized; it contains six- and five-coordinate Mo atoms linked through μ-S and μ-OR groups. The rate of the cleavage of the C=S bond has been studied by variable-temperature 1H NMR in [D8]toluene. A Hammett plot shows that both electron-donating and electron-releasing substituents in the aryl groups enhance the rate relative to Ph2C=S. The activation parameters for cleavage of the C=S bonds in Ph2C=S, (p-MeOC6H4)2C=S, and (m-CF3C6H4)2C=S exhibit essentially identical values for ΔS

    Notes: Controlled mineralization of gold nanoparticles has been performed in a microemulsion of polystyrene-block-poly(2-vinylpyridine). The starting point was the formation of a thermodynamically stable dispersion of HAuCl4 in inverse micelles of the block copolymer in toluene, which became metastable when the gold was reduced. Kinetic control of the transformation allowed the following stages of the mineralization/coagulation process to be stabilized: 1) one gold particle per micelle, 2) aggregated micelles containing two or three gold particles, and 3) a state in which empty micelles coexist with larger polymer-stabilized gold particles. Distinctive variations in the spectra were observed depending on the particle size and whether two particles had formed a couple with orientation-dependent dipolar interactions.

    Notes: Aromatic and aliphatic Schiff bases of tryptamine react with Fmoc- or phthaloyl-protected amino acid chlorides to form N-acyliminium intermediates, which, in the presence of titanium alkoxides at room temperature, undergo Pictet-Spengler reactions to give tetrahydro-β-carbolines with diastereomeric ratios of up to 99:1. The chiral auxiliary can be removed from the Pictet-Spengler adducts by means of a simple reduction. To rationalize the observed stereoselectivity a transition-state model is proposed in which the titanium atom coordinates both the carbonyl group of the N-acyliminium ion and the amino acid protecting group.

    Notes: The photophysical properties of the metal-metal bonded complexes [Ru-(E)(E′)(CO)2(iPr-DAB)] (E=Cl, E′=SnPh3, PbPh3; E=Me, E′=SnPh3, PbPh3; E=SnPh3, E′=SnMe3, SnPh3, GePh3; E=PbPh3, E′=PbMe3, PbPh3, GePh3; iPr-DAB=N,N'-diisopropyl-1,4-diaza-1,3-butadiene) have been studied. According to time-resolved emission, UV/vis and IR spectra, combined with density functional (DFT) MO calculations, the lowest excited state has triplet metal-to-ligand charge-transfer (3MLCT), triplet halide-to-ligand charge-transfer (3XLCT) or 3σ(E-Ru-E)π* character, depending on the nature and combination of the ligands E and E′. The 3σ(E-Ru-E′)π* state is a bound state whose lifetime is strongly influenced by the ligands E and E′. An exceptionally long lifetime (264 μs at 80 K) is observed for the 3σ(Sn-Ru-Sn)π* state of the symmetrically substituted [Ru(SnPh3)2(CO)2(iPr-DAB)] complex. The reason for this long lifetime is the fact that the excited state of this complex is hardly distorted with respect to the ground state, owing to the delocalised character of the σ(Sn-Ru-Sn) bonding orbital, which mixes strongly with the π* orbital of the iPr-DAB ligand. This delocalisation is also responsible for the unusually high oscillator strength of the σ → π* electronic transition in the visible spectral region.

    Notes: Concave hydrocarbons, such as 1 (C36H36), 4 (C60H60), 5 (C54H48), and 6 (C60H52), represent three-dimensionally clamped analogues of π-prismands. They encapsulate small metal ions and accomplish metal-ion extraction from aqueous solution. Their remarkable selectivity allows applications such as incorporation in ion-selective electrodes. The synthetic route is based on well-established cyclophane methodology and, thus, offers a general approach to a whole family of concave hydrocarbons.

    Notes: The stereodivergent asymmetric hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of achiral and chiral 1-oxa-1,3-butadienes carrying an oxazolidine moiety with various enol ethers in the presence of different Lewis acids is described as a highly stereoselective and efficient approach to dihydropyrans, which can be used for the synthesis of carbohydrates. In the cycloaddition of the achiral oxabutadiene very good endo/exo selectivity was possible, and with the chiral oxabutadienes excellent 1,6-asymmetric induction was additionally observed. In the processes a reversal of facial selectivity occurs by changing the Lewis acid, allowing the synthesis of both enantiomers of the dihydropyrans with the same auxiliary. Thus, cycloaddition of 1 to 2 in the presence of Me2 AlCl gives predominantly the endo product 3 (3:4 = 10:1), whereas with SnCl4 the exo product 4 is obtained (3:4 = 1:15). The reaction of 7 and 1 a in the presence of Me2AlCl as promoter nearly exclusively yields the endo-I adduct 16 a (16 a+17 a:18 a+19 a = 〉 50:1; 16 a:17 a = 60:1), whereas with TMS-OTf the endo-II-product 17 a was obtained as the main component (16 a+17 a:18 a+19 a = 〉 50:1; 16 a:17 a = 1:7.9). The use of SnCl4 leads to a mixture of endo and exo, again, however, with excellent induced selectivity. A similarly good induction was obtained with the oxabutadiene 9 containing the new auxiliary 8. Also, other enol others 1 b-g were used, some of which afforded excellent induction. Mechanistic considerations are used to explain the results.

    Notes: The synthesis of 4,4,9,9-tetramethyl-1-oxa-cycloundecane-5,6,7,8-tetrone (9) and 5,5,10,10-tetramethyl-1-oxa-cyclotridecane-6,7,8,9-tetrone (10) has been achieved in a multistep procedure. The key steps in this synthesis were the ring closure of 23 and 24 to 25 and 26, respectively, and the oxidation of the triple bond with RuO2/NaIO4 to the dihydroxydiketones 31 and 32. Compound 9 is the first cyclic tetraketone for which an intramolecular donor-acceptor stabilization has been found. A strong transannular interaction between the ether oxygen and the C4O4 unit in 9 was detected by X-ray studies on single crystals of 9. The transannular distance is 2.7-2.8 Å. Further evidence for a strong transannular interaction was obtained from the comparison of the reduction potential and the first band in the UV/Vis spectrum with the corresponding values from other openchain tetraketones. These findings were substantiated by PE investigations on 9. The crystal structures of the dihydroxy-diketones 31 a and 32 a showed that, in the case of the eleven-membered ring (31 a), there are also short transannular distances between the ether oxygen and the C2O2 moiety (2.5 Å and 2.9 Å). In the case of the thirteen-membered ring (32 a), no transannular interactions were found in the solid state.

    Notes: We studied the microscopic mechanisms of the water exchange reaction between the hydration shells of lanthanide(III) ions (Ln = Nd, Sm, Yb) and bulk water by means of molecular dynamics simulations. In contrast to the residence time of a water molecule in the first hydration shell (τres (1st shell) = 1577, 170 and 410 ps for Nd3+, Sm3+ and Yb3+, respectively), that in the second hydration shell is nearly independent of the type of the cation and amounts to 12-18 ps. Along the lanthanide series a change in the coordination number from 9 to 8 is coupled to a changeover in the water exchange mechanism. The observed water exchange events on the [Nd(H2O)9]3+ aqua ion follow a dissociatively activated Id mechanism via an eightfold-coordinated transition state of square antiprismatic geometry. The lifetime of the transitory square antiprism varies between virtually 0 and 10 ps. The assignment of an Id mechanism (instead of a limiting D mechanism) is supported by the existence of a preferential arrangement between the exchanging water molecules (1800) and by the fact that the calculated average activation volume ΔV≠ = + 4.5 cm3 mol-1 is clearly smaller than the estimated activation volume ΔV≠lim ≈ΔV0 = + 7.2 cm3 mol-1 for a limiting D process. In the case of Sm3+ a ninth water molecule exchanges frequently between the first hydration shell and the bulk and maintains the coordination equilibrium between a [Sm(H2O)8]3+ and a [Sm(H2O)9]3+ aqua ion. The resulting trajectory pattern of incoming and leaving water molecules is an alternation of elimination and addition reactions and cannot be classified into the scheme of D, I or A mechanisms for substitution processes. The reaction volume ΔV0 for the coordination equilibrium [Sm(H2O)8]3+ + H2O → [Sm(H2O)9]3+ can be evaluated consistently both by a thermodynamic and a geometric approach. The observed exchange events for [Yb(H2O)8]3+ exhibit the characteristics of an Ia mechanism. The water exchange takes place via a transition-state geometry close to that of a tricapped trigonal prism and involves a slightly negative activation volume.

    Notes: A first demonstration of the existence of the concerted SN2′ mechanism in the gas phase was obtained by establishing the regioselectivity of the attack of a neutral nucleophile, such as MeOH, on several allylic oxonium ions. These were generated in the gas phase by the reaction of radiolytically formed GA+ acids (GA+=CnH+5 (n = 1, 2), iC3H+7, and (CH3)2F+) with trans- (1) and cis-2-buten-1-ol (2) as well as with 1-buten-3-ol (3). Firm evidence in favor of the concerted SN2′ pathway accompanying the classical SN2 one in these systems was obtained after careful evaluation of the extent of conceivable intramolecular isomerization both of the primary oxonium ions from GA+ attack on 1-3 before nucleophilic displacement by MeOH and of their substituted intermediates before neutralization. The intermediacy of free allylic ions in the nucleophilic substitution was ruled out by generating the ions by protonation of 1,3-butadiene and by investigating their behavior in exactly the same media employed in the substitution reactions. The regioselectivity of MeOH with the ionic substrates investigated showed the occurrence of nearly equally extensive SN2′ and SN2 pathways in the oxonium ions from 1 (SN2′ (57 ± 2%) and SN2 (43 ± 2%)) and 3 (SN2′ (54 ± 2%) and SN2 (46 ± 2%)), whereas, with 2, the SN2 (66 ± 2%) reaction prevailed over the SN2′ one (34 ± 2%). The role of intrinsic structural factors in determining the SN2′/SN2 branching in the selected oxonium ions is discussed.

    Notes: Our radiolytic study of the occurrence in the gas phase of concerted SN2′ reactions on several open-chain allylic oxonium ions generated in the gas phase from the attack of gaseous GA+ acids (GA+=CnH+5 (n = 1, 2), iC3H+7, and (CH3)2F+) on suitable substrates is now continued with cyclic allylic alcohols, such as 3-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol (1) and 1-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-ol (2), with both MeOH and NMe3 as neutral nucleophiles. With MeOH as the nucleophile, the substitution reaction exclusively takes place on 1 as the starting compounds, whereas when the substrate is 2 it is accompanied by extensive elimination. With NMe3, only the elimination reaction is observed in the same systems. The analysis of the isomeric distribution of the substitution and elimination products allows definition of the corresponding reaction patterns. As for open-chain oxonium ions, the nucleophilic attack on O-protonated 1 and 2 is preceded by significant intramolecular interconversion. Partial unimolecular dissociation of the same ionic intermediates also takes place. After careful evaluation of the extent of these side processes, it is demonstrated that the O-protonated 1 undergoes the concerted SN2 process with MeOH almost exclusively (≥ 99%). With O-protonated 2, how ever, the concerted SN2′ pathway (84-95%) prevails over the classical SN2 one (6-17%). Concomitant [1,2] (E2) and [1,4] elimination (E2′) pathways involve attack of the selected nucleophiles on the oxonium ions from 1 and 2. Their relative extent (E2′/E2:1.78-1.96 (1); 1.43-1 70 (2)) appears only slightly dependent on the nature of the ionic substrate, the nucleophile (whether MeOH or NMe3), and the leaving group (whether H2O or MeOH). The effects of both intrinsic structural factors and experimental conditions in determining the SN2′/SN2 and E2′/E2 branchings in the selected oxonium ions is discussed and compared with related gas-phase data.

    Notes: A very simple self-assembling system, which produces inclusion complexes with pseudorotaxane geometries, is described. The self-assembly of eight pseudorotaxanes with a range of stoichiometries-1:1, 1:2, 2:1, and 2:2 (host:guest)-has been achieved. These pseudorotaxanes self-assemble from readily available components-well-known crown ethers, such as dibenzo[24]crown-8 and bis-p-phenylene[34]crown-10, and secondary dialkylammonium hexafluorophosphate salts, such as (PhCH2)2NH+2PF-6 and (nBu)2NH+2PF-6-and have been characterized not only in the solid state, but also in solution and in the “gas phase”. The pseudorotaxanes are stabilized largely by hydrogen-bonding interactions and, in some instances, by aryl-aryl interactions.

    Notes: The new phases MIIISr3NiIIIO6 have been prepared for M = Sc, In, Tm, Yb and Lu. Thermogravimetric analysis indicates that these phases are stoichiometric nickel(III) oxides. Rietveld refinement of their crystal structures from powder X-ray diffraction data confirms that they adopt the rhombohedral K4CdCl6- type structure (space group R\documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$ \bar 3 $\end{document}c, a = 9.6595 (2) and c = 10.8546 (3) Å for ScSr3NiO6). The M site is fully occupied for M = Sc and In, but a deficiency of scattering for M = Tm, Yb and Lu is shown to be due to Ni substitution through a simultaneous refinement of the YbSr3NiO6 structure using X-ray and time-of-flight neutron diffraction data. The refined composition is (Yb0.83Ni0.17)-Sr3NiO6. The magnetic suseptibilities of the M = Sc, In and Lu samples show Curie-Weiss behaviour down to 6K; however, ScSr3NiO6 shows a broad transition between 250 and 290 K, with Curie-Weiss behaviour above and below this anomaly. This transition is thought to be between the statically and dynamically Jahn-Teller distorted regimes of octahedrally coordinated, low-spin Ni3+.

    Notes: The synthesis of dendrons with orthogonally protected functional groups, which allows the construction of dendrons in an exponential fashion, is described. The sequence has been carried out on a gram scale for the first, second, and fourth generation. The dendrons have a relatively loose and flexible structure, which should make further growth feasible. Owing to the dendrons' adjustable and broadly applicable substitution pattern, they are the first representatives of a future construction kit for the systematic synthesis of layered dendrimers. The coupling step involves urethane formation.

    Notes: The structures of the hitherto unknown bis(double helicate) 10 and its cryptatoclathrate (10)2·2THF were unequivocally determined by X-ray diffraction. Bis(double helicate) 10 is formed in a one-pot synthesis starting from CH-acidic bis (tetrazolylmethyl ketone) 9 and Zn(OAc)2. The formation of racemic, homochiral 10 from [Zn2L32] fragments, which are formed in a self-assembly process, is governed by chiral self-recognition. According to NMR studies only 10 is present in solution. 13C CP/MAS NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis confirm aggregation of 10 with two molecules of THF to yield the inclusion compound (10)2·2 THF in the solid state.

    Notes: Se2NBr3, a planar molecule shaped liked dividers, was formed by the reaction of SeBr4 with N(SiMe3)3, which reduced the selenium to the trivalent state. Under the same conditions, Se2NCl5 was obtained by the reaction of SeCl4 with N(SiMe3)3, retaining the tetravalent state of selenium. The molecule is formed by two edge-sharing pseudotrigonal bipyramids with selenium as their central atoms. Se2NCl5 reacts with PPh4Cl to form the Se2NCl-6 ion by the addition of a Cl- ion to only one of the two selenium atoms, resulting in pseudooctahedral coordination of this atom. Ab initio calculations for all the compounds reported confirm the experimentally determined structures.

    Notes: The self-assembly of the pentanuclear double helicates Hh, Ha and He from the corresponding oligobipyridine strands Lh, La and Le and Cu1 ions has been investigated by NMR and electrospray mass spectrometry (ESMS). Where as Hh is assembled rapidly (in less than 20 min), He (about 20 h) and especially Ha (about 60 h) form much more slowly. The rate decreases strongly with increasing steric bulk of the substituents in the 4,4′-positions on the bipyridine units; this indicates that the search processes (wrapping, unwrapping) that lead to the final helicate are strongly hindered by the size of the substituents. The ESMS data give information about the species present in solution under different conditions and allow the formulation of possible formation pathways, which may involve, in particular, helicates of hairpin type.

Selective monosubstitution of P(X)Cl2 (X = S, 0) termini with allylamine or propargylamine gave the trifunctionalized dendrimers 5-[G1], 5-[G7], 8-[G1], 8-[G3], 10[G1], 11-[G4], ll-[G4], 12-[G1]-12-[G3], 12-[G5], and 12-[G7]. Reaction of dendrimers 4-[G1] and 4-[G4], possessing terminal P(S)[N-allyl) fragments, with propargylamine afforded trifunctionalized dendrimers l4-[G1 and l4-[G4]. Multiply trifunctionalized macromolecules 13-[G2] and 13-[G3] with P(S)(NH-allyl)(NH-propargyl) moieties at the surface were prepared by treatment of 8-[G2] and 8-[G3] with propargylamine.

Reaction of hydrazine or cyanomethylenetriphenylphosphorane (17) with compounds 15-[G1], 15-[G3], and 16-[G1]-16-[G3] led to the multiply tetrafunctionalized dendrimers 18-[G1], 18-[G3], 19-[G1], 20-[G1]-20-[G3], 21-[G1], and 21-[G2].

    Notes: The dinuclear μ-cyclopentadienylidene complexes [(C5R5)Co(μ-C5H4)-Co(C2H4)(C5R'5)] (5) [5aa (R = R' = H), 5ab (R = H, R' = Me), 5ac (R = H, R'5 = H4Me), 5ba (R = Me, R' = H), 5bb (R = R' = Me) and 5da (R5 = Me4Et, R' = H)] were synthesised from [(C5R5)Co(η4-C5H6)] (4) [4a (R = H), 4b (R = Me), 4d (R5 = Me4Et)] and [(C5R'5)Co(C2H4)2] (1) [1a (R' = H), 1b (R' = Me) and 1c (R'5 = H4Me)]. In these reactions, both CH bonds of the methylene group of coordinated cyclopentadiene are activated under mild conditions. Substitution of the ethylene ligand in 5 by L leads to the carbonyl, isocyanide, phosphine, and phosphite derivatives [(C5R5)Co(μ-C5H4)Co(L)-(C5R'5)] [6aa, 6ab, 6ba, 6bb (L = CO), 7aa (L = tBuNC), 8aa, 8ab (L = PMe3), 9aa (L = PMe2Ph), 10aa (L = PMePh2) and 11aa (L = P(OMe)3)]. The crystal structures of 5aa, 5ab, 5ba, 6aa and 8aa have been determined. The experimental geometry is rationalised in terms of two limiting structures with μ-η4:η1 and μ-η5:η1 coordination of the bridging cyclopentadienylidene ligand. On the basis of the 18 valence electron rule, zwitterionic character is assigned to latter. This structure is preferred when L is an acceptor ligand, as in 6. In solution, 5-11 are fluxional with rapid rotation about the very short cobalt-carbene C bond. In addition the hindered rotation of the ethylene ligand in 5ab was studied by DNMR spectroscopy. In solution, a singlet-triplet equilibrium was established by variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy for 8aa. The temperature-dependent 1H NMR line shifts were analysed by means of an isotropic shift model to give 24≤ΔH° ≤ 32 kJ mol-1 and 45≤ΔS° ≤74 J mol-1 K-1 with the triplet state being preferred by entropy at higher temperatures.
