Thiourea Derivatives of Tröger's Base
General Papers ARKIVOC 2009 (xiv) 124-134 Thiourea derivatives of Tröger’s base: synthesis, enantioseparation and evaluation in organocatalysis of Michael addition to nitroolefins Delphine Didiera and Sergey Sergeyeva,b* a Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), Laboratoire de Chimie des Polymères, CP 206/01, Boulevard du Triomphe, 1050 Brussels, Belgium b University of Antwerp, Department of Chemistry, Groenenborgerlaan 171, 2020 Antwerp, Belgium E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The catalytic activity of racemic thiourea derivatives of Tröger’s base (±)-2–4 in Michael additions of malonate derivatives to trans-β-nitrostyrene was studied. Due to the low basicity of Tröger’s base, the outcome of the addition reactions was strongly dependent on the pKa of the nucleophile. Thiourea catalysts (±)-2, 3 were resolved on the chiral stationary phase Whelk O1. Unfortunately, enantiopure catalysts 2 and 3 showed no stereoselectivity in the Michael addition. Keywords: Tröger’s base, thiourea, Michael addition, catalysis, WhelkO1 Introduction In the recent years, asymmetric organocatalysis has emerged as a competitive, environment- friendlier alternative to catalysis with transition metal complexes. While simple molecules such as derivatives of proline have been receiving a great deal of attention due to their availability, considerable effort has been directed towards searching for novel chiral scaffolds for asymmetric organocatalysis.1 Tröger’s base 1 is a chiral diamine bearing two stereogenic bridge-head nitrogen atoms (Figure 1). The two aromatic rings fused to the central bicyclic framework are almost perpendicular to each other, creating a rigid, V-shaped C2-symmetrical molecular scaffold with a distance of ca. 1nm between the two extremities.2 Due to its chirality and relatively rigid geometry, one would intuitively expect a considerable interest for analogues of Tröger’s base in the field of asymmetric synthesis and catalysis. -

Confinement of Fermions in Tachyon Matter at Finite Temperature Adamu Issifu,1, ∗ Julio C.M. Rocha,1, y and Francisco A. Brito1, 2, z 1Departamento de F´ısica, Universidade Federal da Para´ıba, Caixa Postal 5008, 58051-970 Jo~aoPessoa, Para´ıba, Brazil 2Departamento de F´ısica, Universidade Federal de Campina Grande Caixa Postal 10071, 58429-900 Campina Grande, Para´ıba, Brazil We study a phenomenological model that mimics the characteristics of QCD theory at finite temperature. The model involves fermions coupled with a modified Abelian gauge field in a tachyon matter. It reproduces some important QCD features such as, confinement, deconfinement, chiral symmetry and quark-gluon-plasma (QGP) phase transitions. The study may shed light on both light and heavy quark potentials and their string tensions. Flux-tube and Cornell potentials are developed depending on the regime under consideration. Other confining properties such as scalar glueball mass, gluon mass, glueball-meson mixing states, gluon and chiral condensates are exploited as well. The study is focused on two possible regimes, the ultraviolet (UV) and the infrared (IR) regimes. I. INTRODUCTION Confinement of heavy quark states QQ¯ is an important subject in both theoretical and experimental study of high temperature QCD matter and quark-gluon-plasma phase (QGP) [1]. The production of heavy quarkonia such as the fundamental state ofcc ¯ in the Relativistic Heavy Iron Collider (RHIC) [2] and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) [3] provides basics for the study of QGP. Lattice QCD simulations of quarkonium at finite temperature indicates that J= may persists even at T = 1:5Tc [4] i.e. -

Part I Principles of Enzyme Catalysis
j1 Part I Principles of Enzyme Catalysis Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis, Third Edition. Edited by Karlheinz Drauz, Harald Groger,€ and Oliver May. Ó 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. Published 2012 by Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA. j3 1 Introduction – Principles and Historical Landmarks of Enzyme Catalysis in Organic Synthesis Harald Gr€oger and Yasuhisa Asano 1.1 General Remarks Enzyme catalysis in organic synthesis – behind this term stands a technology that today is widely recognized as a first choice opportunity in the preparation of a wide range of chemical compounds. Notably, this is true not only for academic syntheses but also for industrial-scale applications [1]. For numerous molecules the synthetic routes based on enzyme catalysis have turned out to be competitive (and often superior!) compared with classic chemicalaswellaschemocatalyticsynthetic approaches. Thus, enzymatic catalysis is increasingly recognized by organic chemists in both academia and industry as an attractive synthetic tool besides the traditional organic disciplines such as classic synthesis, metal catalysis, and organocatalysis [2]. By means of enzymes a broad range of transformations relevant in organic chemistry can be catalyzed, including, for example, redox reactions, carbon–carbon bond forming reactions, and hydrolytic reactions. Nonetheless, for a long time enzyme catalysis was not realized as a first choice option in organic synthesis. Organic chemists did not use enzymes as catalysts for their envisioned syntheses because of observed (or assumed) disadvantages such as narrow substrate range, limited stability of enzymes under organic reaction conditions, low efficiency when using wild-type strains, and diluted substrate and product solutions, thus leading to non-satisfactory volumetric productivities. -
Chemical Synthesis of Carbon-14 Labeled Ricinine and Biosynthesis
1.2 PROC. OF 'nJE OKLA. ACAD. OF SCI. FOR 19M Chemical Synthesis of Carbon-14 Labeled Ridnine and Biosynthesis of Ricinine in Ricinus communis L I IL s. YANG, B. TRIPLE'rJ', IL S. )[LOS and G. B. WALLER Oldahoma State Umvenity, Acricultural Experiment station, Stillwater Ricinine (Fig. 1, tormula V; 1,2-dihydro-4-methoxy-1-methyl-2-oxo ntcotinonttrUe) is a mildly toxic alkaloid produced by the castor plant Bkiflu.t commuflu L. Studies on the biosynthesis of ricinine have been in progreu in our laboratory for several years (Waller and Henderson, 1961; Hadwiger et a!., 1963; Yang and Waller, 1965). Recently Waller et at (1Na) demoll8trated that 7~% to 90% of ricinine-'H and ricinine-8-t 'C wu degraded by the caator plant. This demonstration of metabolic acti vity servea to refute the earlier concepts that regarded alkaloids as by products of a number of irreversible and useless reactions associated with nitrogen metabolism (Pictet and Court, 1907; Cromwell, 1937; Vickery, 1941 ). To enable us to further stUdy the degradation of ricinine by the cutor plant, alkaloid labeled with carbon-14 in the pyridine ring which poueues a high specific activity is required. This report provides detailed information on the micro-scale synthesis of ricinine-3,~14C. The chemical synthesis of ricinine was initiated in the early part of this century by several workers in their attempts to prove the structure of the akaIoid. Spilth and Koller (1923) synthesized ricinine by the oxidation of 4-chloroquinoline via the intermediates 4-chloro-2-aminoquin oline-3-carboxylic acid and 2,4-dichlorontcoUnonitrile. -
