Co(II)-salen catalyzed stereoselective cyclopropanation of fluorinated styrenes

Three cis-selective Co(II)-salen complexes have been developed for the asymmetric cyclopropanation of para-fluorinated styrenes with ethyl diazoacetate. Increasing the steric reach of the C2-symmetric ligand side chains improved the enantiomeric ratio of the reaction from 28:1 to 66:1. The methodology was exemplified by the gram-scale synthesis of a lead compound for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), as well as a structurally related analog.

The Kinetics of Growth of Metallo-supramolecular Polyelectrolytes in Solution

Several transition metal ions, like Fe2+, Co2+, Ni2+, and Zn2+ complex to the ditopic ligand 1,4-bis(2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridin-4′-yl)benzene (L). Due to the high association constant, metal-ion induced self-assembly of Fe2+, Co2+, and Ni2+ leads to extended, rigid-rod like metallo-supramolecular coordination polyelectrolytes (MEPEs) even in aqueous solution. Here, we present the kinetics of growth of MEPEs. The species in solutions are analyzed by light scattering, viscometry and cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM). At near-stoichiometric amounts of the reactants, we obtained high molar masses, which follow the order Ni-MEPE≈Co-MEPEa reversible step-growth mechanism. The forward polymerization rate constants follow the order Co-MEPEFe-MEPENi-MEPE and the growth of MEPEs can be accelerated by adding potassium acetate.
