- Positive variation of the MRI signal via intramolecular inclusion complexation of a C-2 functionalized β-cyclodextrin
-
The synthesis of a new contrast agent based on a β-cyclodextrin scaffold and bearing a flexible lipophilic spacer arm on its secondary face is reported. Intermolecular host-guest inclusion complexes were known to undergo an enhancement of the contrast imaging. We extend this concept to intramolecular complexation. Inter- and intramolecular interactions are compared by NMR spectroscopy, circular dichroism and magnetic resonance imaging using hydrocinnamic acid and adamantane carboxylic acid as external guests. This positive variation of the observed relaxivity is a key element of new strategies aiming at developing smart molecular MRI probes.

- A Mild and General One-Pot Synthesis of Densely Functionalized Diaryliodonium Salts
-
Diaryliodonium salts are powerful and widely used arylating agents in organic chemistry. Here we report a scalable synthesis of densely functionalized diaryliodonium salts from aryl iodides under mild conditions. This two-step, one-pot process has remarkable functional group tolerance, is compatible with commonly employed acid-labile protective group strategies, avoids heavy metal and transition metal reagents, and provides a direct route to stable precursors to PET imaging agents.

- Synthesis of organometallic poly(dendrimer)s by macromonomer polymerization: effect of dendrimer size and structural rigidity on the polymerization efficiency
-
Two series of first to third generation (G1-G3) oligoether dendrimers, one hearing a shorter spacer chain (C-O) and the other having a longer spacer branch (C-C-C-O) were prepared. Both series of compounds, containing two reactive C≡CH moieties on the dendrimer surface, were used as macromonomers and copolymerized with trans-[Pt(PEt3)2Cl2] to form organometallic poly(dendrimer)s by an outer-sphere-outer-sphere connection strategy. It was found that concentration of monomer used in the polymerization, the dendrimer generation, and, most strikingly, the length of the spacer were key factors that determined the polymerization efficiency. Hence, the structurally more rigid and compact C-O linked dendrimers formed poly(dendrimer)s with a higher degree of polymerization than the structurally less rigid and more bulky C-C-C-O dendrimers. This result was due to the higher tendency to form cyclic oligomers in the latter series of compounds. In addition, the differences in the polymerization efficiency among the three generations of dendrimers could be explained by the gradual decrease of reactive functional group density on the dendrimer surface.

- Predicting the structure of supramolecular dendrimers via the analysis of libraries of AB3 and constitutional isomeric AB2 biphenylpropyl ether self-assembling dendrons
-
The synthesis of 4′-hydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic, 3′,4′- dihydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic, 3′,5′-dihydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic, and 3′,4′,5′-trihydroxy-4-biphenylpropionic methyl esters via three efficient and modular strategies including one based on Ni-catalyzed borylation and sequential cross-coupling is reported. These building blocks were employed in a convergent iterative approach to the synthesis of one library of 3,4,5-trisubstituted and two libraries of constitutional isomeric 3,4- and 3,5-disubstituted biphenylpropyl ether dendrons. Structural and retrostructural analysis of supramolecular dendrimers revealed that biphenylpropyl ether dendrons self-assemble and self-organize into the same periodic lattices and quasi-periodic arrays observed in previously reported libraries, but with larger dimensions, different mechanisms of self-assembly, and improved solubility, thermal, acidic, and oxidative stability. The different mechanisms of self-assembly led to the discovery of two new supramolecular structures. The first represents a new banana-like lamellar crystal with a four layer repeat. The second is a giant vesicular sphere self-assembled from 770 dendrons that exhibits an ultrahigh molar mass of 1.73 × 106 g/mol. Thus, the enhanced size of the self-assembled structures constructed from biphenylpropyl ether dendrons permitted for the first time discrimination of various molecular mechanisms of spherical self-assembly and elaborated a continuum between small filled spheres and very large hollow spheres that is dictated by the primary structure of the dendron. The comparative analysis of libraries of biphenylpropyl ether dendrons with the previously reported libraries of benzyl-, phenylpropyl-, and biphenyl-4-methyl ether dendrons demonstrated biomimetic self-assembly wherein the primary structure of the dendron and to a lesser extent the structure of its repeat unit determines the supramolecular tertiary structure. A "nanoperiodic table" of self-assembling dendrons and supramolecular dendrimers that allows the prediction of the general features of tertiary structures from primary structures was elaborated.

- Sequential Ni-catalyzed borylation and cross-coupling of aryl halides via in situ prepared neopentylglycolborane
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A procedure for NiCl2(dppp)- catalyzed pinacolborylation and neopentylglycolborylation that utilizes in situ prepared inexpensive pinacolborane and neopentylglycolborane is reported. The scope of this reaction was demonstrated with a variety of aryl bromides and iodides. The resulting aryl neopentylglycolboronic esters undergo a NiCl 2(dppe)-catalyzed cross-coupling with aryl halides, resulting in an extremely efficient and cost-effective method for the synthesis of functional biaryls, dendritic building blocks, and other complex architectures.

- Mild conversion of β-diketones and β-ketoesters to carboxylic acids
-
A mild protocol for the conversion of β-ketoesters and β-diketones to carboxylic acids with use of CAN in CH3CN is described. The method is compatible with a number of functional groups, and can generate carboxylic acids under neutral conditions at room temperature. The reaction is fast and general, providing an alternative method to the commonly used malonic ester acid preparation. Initial mechanistic studies show that initial oxidation of the enol form of the β-dicarbonyl initiates the reaction. The presence of nitrate as an oxidant ligand or as an additive is critical for success of the reaction.

- The effect of vinyl esters on the enantioselectivity of the lipase-catalysed transesterification of alcohols
-
The enantioselectivity of the lipase from Pseudomonas cepacia (PCL) in the transesterification of 2-phenyl-1-propanol 1 was studied using a series of vinyl 3-arylpropanoates as acyl donors. The most enantioselective transesterification reaction of the alcohol was attained by using vinyl 3-(p-iodophenyl)- or 3-(p-trifluoromethylphenyl)propanoates, with enantiomer ratios, E, of 116 and 138, respectively. Vinyl 3-phenylpropanoate was also effective for the resolution of 1 mediated by lipases from P. fluorescens and porcine pancreas and for the PCL-catalysed transesterification of several 2-phenyl-1-alkanols. The enantiomeric resolution of 1 was practically carried out by the first enantioselective transesterification using PCL and vinyl 3-(p-iodophenyl)propanoate to afford (R)-1 and then the enantioselective hydrolysis of the resultant ester to afford (S)-1.
