- Solid Polymer Electrolytes Comprising Camphor-Derived Chiral Salts for Solid-State Batteries
-
Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) with both excellent processability and flexibility have been deemed as an auspicious alternative to develop safe solid-state lithium metal (Li°) batteries (SSLMBs). The electrochemical performance of SSLMBs is ultimately associated with the nature of the Li-salt anion and the widely used bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide anion (TFSI) is "slippery"due to its perfluorinated nature and therefore highly mobile, which leads to severe polarization upon battery cell charge/discharge cycles. In this work, we report on a new type of chiral salts, synthesized from commercially available camphorsulfonic acid, used in poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based SPEs. The impact of the chirality of the anions on the fundamental physical properties of the SPEs is extensively studied in terms of thermal stability, phase transition and ionic conductivity, etc. We demonstrate that the resulting SPEs exhibit agreeable ionic conductivities (ca. 104 S cm1) accompanied by high cation transference numbers (ca. 0.5) at 70 °C. Whether either the R or the S enantiomers are used the ion transport properties are the same, as expected, but rather surprisingly the artificial racemic mixture is within the errors of the measurements just as conductive. We discuss how this opens a new avenue to design novel salts for reaching high-performant SSLMBs.

- Ligand dependence of the synthetic approach and chiroptical properties of a magic cluster protected with a bicyclic chiral thiolate
-
Chiral gold clusters stabilised by enantiopure thiolates were prepared, size-selected and characterised by circular dichroism and mass spectrometry. The product distribution is found to be ligand dependent. Au25 clusters protected with camphorthiol show clear resemblance of their chiroptical properties with their glutathionate analogue.

- The Ru-catalyzed enantioselective preparation of chiral halohydrins and their application in the synthesis of (R)-clorprenaline and (S)-sotalol
-
The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a series of halo-substituted aryl methyl ketones, including those substituted in both α-methyl and aryl rings, was studied for the preparation of chiral halohydrins. Up to 99.7% ee was obtained with 2-chloro-1-(2-chlorophenyl)ethanone as the substrate and Ru-CsDPEN as the catalyst in an HCOONa/H2O system. (R)-Clorprenaline, a drug used in the treatment of respiratory disorders, such as bronchitis and asthma, and (S)-sotalol, a class-III antiarrhythmic compound, were prepared with these chiral halohydrins.

- A practical large-scale synthesis of (3R,4R)-4-(Hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-3- ol via asymmetric 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition
-
(3R,4R)-4-(Hydroxymethyl)pyrrolidin-3-ol (1), which is a useful intermediate for the synthesis of various bioactive molecules, has been synthesized in 51% overall yield by 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction from the dipolarophile, (E)-3-benzyloxypropenoyl-(2′S)-bornane-10,2-sultam (5), and the achiral ylide precursor, N-(benzyl)-N-(methoxymethyl)-N- (trimethylsilylmethyl)amine (6), without using chromatography and the subsequent reduction with LAH and catalytic hydrogenation. The diastereomers 7 and 8 were separated by crystallization, and efficient procedures were developed for the subsequent reactions to afford 1.

- Progress toward the total synthesis of callipeltin A (I): Asymmetric synthesis of (3S,4R)-3,4-dimethylglutamine
-
(equation presented) During the total synthesis of the novel cyclic depsipeptide callipeltin A (1), the unit (3S,4R)-3,4-dimethylglutamine, was successfully synthesized by asymmetric Michael addition and subsequent electrophilic azidation. The key feature of this approach is the generation of three adjacent stereogenic centers using the same camphorsultam chiral auxiliary.

- Chiral Polysiloxane-Fixed Metal 1,3-Diketonates (Chirasil-Metals) as Catalytic Lewis Acids for a Hetero Diels-Alder Reaction -Inversion of Enantioselectivity upon Catalyst-Polymer Binding
-
A dimethylpolysiloxane chain is covalently bound to the monomeric Lewis acid catalyst (lR)-(+)-oxovanadium(IV) bis[3heptafluorobutanoylcamphorate] [(+)-5a] at the C-10 position of the camphor moiety yielding the novel chiral polymeric (1S)-(+)-oxovanadium(IV) bis[3-heptafluorobutanoylcamphoratej-dimethylpolysiloxane [(+)-6a][1]. The Lewis acid promoted hetero Diels-Alder reaction of //ans-l-methoxy-3(trimethylsilyloxy)-l,3-butadiene (1) and benzaldehyde (2) is studied in the presence of the enantiomerically pure monomeric (5a, 5b) and polymeric (6a, 6b) catalysts. The monomeric and polymeric catalysts of identical chirality'1' invoke opposite enantioselectivities toward the formation of 2-phenyl2,3-dihydro-4H-pyrone (4). This remarkable result is corroborated by numerous control experiments. Thus, it is demonstrated that the environment of the active site of the catalyst is changed when the complex is fixed to a polymeric chain. In contrast to 5 and 6, the monomeric 12 and polymeric 13 europium(HI) tris[3-heptafluorobutanoylcamphorates] of identical chirality invoke the same enantioselectivity toward the formation of 4. The concept of polymer attachment is utilized to recover the catalyst from the reaction mixture by precipitation and to recycle it for subsequent catalytic runs. VCH Verlagsgcscllschaft mbH,.

- IRIDOIDS : ENANTIOSELECTIVE SYNTHESIS OF LOGANIN VIA AN ASYMMETRIC DIELS-ALDER REACTION
-
Starting from (-)-camphor-10-sulfonic acid (5) the crystalline sultam 9 was readily prepared.TiCl4-mediated Diels-Alder addition of the N-crotonyl sultam 11 to cyclopentadiene, crystallization of the resulrting adduct 12 and subsequent reduction gave virtually pure (1S, 4R,5R, 6S)-1 together with recovered auxiliary 9.The loganin precursor 1 was transformed into norbonanone 20, which upon Baeyer-Villiger oxidation led to the suitably substituted cyclopentane 22 from which 1-B-O-methyl loganin aglucone (2) was readily available.

- Reduction of Sulfonic Acids and Related Organosulfur Compounds with Triphenylphosphine-Iodine System
-
Arenesulfonic acids, their sodium salts, and alkyl arenesulfonates can be reduced readily to the corresponding arenethiols quantitatively by treatment with a mixture of triphenylphosphine and a catalytic amount of iodine, while alkanesulfonic acids, sulfinic acids, disulfides, thiosulfonic S-esters, and sulfonates are also readily reduced to the corresponding thiols similarly.Upon treatment with a mixture of triphenylphosphine and excess iodine, however, these aliphatic sulfur compounds are converted eventually to the corresponding alkyl iodides.The relative reactivities of these sulfonyl derivatives in the reaction with the triphenylphosphine-iodine system are the following.Aromatic series: ArSO2Cl, ArSO2SAr' > ArSO2H > ArSO3R > ArSO3-HNBu3+ (or PyH+) > ArSO3H > ArSO2SO2Ar >> ArSO2CH2C(CH3)3, ArSO3Ar'.Aliphatic series: RSO2Cl, RSO2SR', RSO2-HNBu3+ > RSO3-HNBu3+ > RSSR, RSO2H > RSO3H > RSH > RSO3R'.In these reactions, the arenesulfonic acids bearing electron-donating substituents can be reduced more readily than those having electron-withdrawing substituents.

- Reaction of Organic Sulfur Compounds with Hyperoxide Anion (O2-anion radical). IV. Evidence for Formation of Peroxysulfur Intermediates: Oxidation of Sulfoxides, Phosphines, and Olefins with Intermediary Peroxysulfur Species
-
Formations of peroxy-sulfenate(I), -sulfinate(II), and -sulfonate(III) as intermediates have been confirmed by stripping the peroxy oxygen with three kinds of trapping agents such as sulfoxides, phosphines, and olefins, added in the reaction systems of various organic sulfur compounds with hyperoxide anion (O2-anion radical).These sulfoxides, phosphines, and olefins were inert to O2-anion radical alone while electrophilic olefins, such as α,β-unsaturated ketones reacted readily with O2-anion radical to afford the carboxylic acid.Sulfoxides, added into the reaction system of disulfide, thiosulfinic S-ester, thiosulfonic S-ester, or sulfonyl chloride with O2-anion radical, were found to be oxidized to the sulfones with peroxysulfur intermediates formed in situ in the system.Phosphines, added into the reaction system of disulfide or sodium thiolate with O2-anion radical were also oxidized to the phosphine oxides.Not only stilbene and acenaphthylene but also chalcone and its derivatives, placed in the reactions of sulfonyl chloride, sulfinyl chloride and thiosulfonic S-ester with O2-anion radical were found to be oxidized to the corresponding epoxides.These observations suggest clearly that the intermediary peroxysulfur compounds can act as oxidizing agents which oxidize these trapping agents by the nucleophilic oxygenative oxidation.Similar intermediates were postulated and confirmed in the alkaline autoxidations of thiol and disulfide in which added phosphines and sulfoxides were also found to be oxidized to their oxides.The mechanisms of the reactions of these trapping agents with peroxysulfur intermediates are discussed.
