نویسندگان
چکیده
A short synthesis of the biologically active sesquiterpene natural product (+)-aphanamol I in both racemic and enantiopure forms is reported. Key steps include: a catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition, an oxidative radical cyclization, and a ring-expanding Claisen rearrangement.

Are the Crystal Structures of Enantiopure and Racemic Mandelic Acids Determined by Kinetics or Thermodynamics?
Mandelic acids are prototypic chiral molecules where the sensitivity of crystallized forms (enantiopure/racemic compound/polymorphs) to both conditions and substituents provides a new insight into the factors that may allow chiral separation by crystallization. The determination of a significant number of single crystal structures allows the analysis of 13 enantiopure and 30 racemic crystal str...
متن کاملIncidental Polymorphism, Non-Isomorphic and Isomorphic Substitution in Calcium-Valine Coordination Polymers
Five coordination polymers with the stoichiometry CaX2(valine)2(H2O)2 (X = Cl, Br) were obtained from the corresponding calcium halides and either racemic and enantiopure valine. In all cases the zwitterionic amino acid is exclusively O coordinated and the halides act as counteranions for the resulting one-dimensional cationic chains. The enantiopure chloride shows dimorphism; both forms differ...
متن کاملThermochemistry of Racemic and Enantiopure Organic Crystals for Predicting Enantiomer Separation
The separation of an enantiomer from a racemic mixture is of primary relevance to the pharmaceutical industry. The thermochemical properties of organic enantiopure and racemate crystals can be exploited to design an enantioselective crystallization process. The thermodynamic difference between the two crystal forms is accessible by two cycles which give the eutectic composition in solution. The...
متن کاملEnhancement of Soluble Expression and Biochemical Characterization of Two Epoxide Hydrolases from Bacillus
Background: Enantiopure epoxides are important intermediates in the synthesis of high-value chiral chemicals. Epoxide hydrolases have been exploited in biocatalysis for kinetic resolution of racemic epoxides to produce enantiopure epoxides and vicinal diols. It is necessary to obtain sufficient stable epoxide hydrolases with high enantioselectivity to meet the requirements of i...
متن کاملA [2+2+2] cyclization strategy for the synthesis of phosphorus embedding [6]helicene-like structures.
A Ni(0) promoted intramolecular [2+2+2] cyclotrimerization of triynes provides suitable access to a new series of phosphorus embedding helicenes. [6]Oxahelicenes in which the helical sequence terminates with a phosphole oxide unit have been prepared in both racemic and enantiopure forms and characterized by X-ray diffraction studies.
