- Chirality-controlled syntheses of double-helical Au nanowires
-
The selective large-scale syntheses of noble metal nanocrystals with complex shapes using wet-chemical approaches remain exciting challenges. Here we report the chirality-controllable syntheses of double-helical Au nanowires (NWs) using chiral soft-templates composed of two organogelators with their own active functions; one organogelator serves to introduce helicity into the template and the other acts as a capping agent to control the Au shape. One-dimensional twisted-nanoribbon templates are prepared simply by mixing the two organogelators in water containing a small amount of toluene, followed by the addition of LiCl; template chirality is controlled through the selection of the handedness of the helicity-inducing organogelator. Double-helical Au NWs synthesized on these chiral templates have the same helical structure as the template because the Au NWs grow along both edges of the twisted nanoribbons with right- or left-handed helicities. Dispersions of the right- and left-handed double-helical Au NWs exhibit opposite CD signals.

- Influence of chirality on the modes of self-assembly of 12-hydroxystearic acid in molecular gels of mineral oil
-
The gelating abilities of enantiopure, racemic, and different enantio-enriched mixtures of 12-hydroxystearic acid (12HSA) have been compared in order to clarify conflicting reports in the literature (1) concerning their ability to gelate organic liquids. Less than 1.0 wt % of optically pure (D)-12HSA was found to gelate mineral oil. The gel matrix was comprised of high aspect ratio fibers in which the 12HSA molecules were organized as head-to-head dimers and the 12-hydroxyl groups formed an H-bonding network along the axis transverse to the longitudinal growth. Below 2 wt %, racemic 12HSA in mineral oil did not reach the percolation threshold. Its organogels were comprised of platelet-like crystals with a molecular arrangement of single, in-plane, hydrogen-bonded acyclic dimers that prevent longitudinal growth and limit the ability of the polar groups to phase separate during nucleation.

- Cyclic fatty acyl glycosides in the glandular trichome exudate of Silene gallica
-
Chemical investigation of the glandular trichome exudate from Silene gallica L. (Caryophyllaceae) resulted in isolation of 10 cyclic fatty acyl glycosides (gallicasides A-J). The cyclic structures were characterized by a glycosidic linkage of the glucose moiety to either the C-12 or the C-13 position of the octadecanoyl moiety, and by an ester linkage between the C-2 hydroxy group of the glucose moiety and the carboxyl group of the oxygenated octadecanoic acid. The structures of the cyclic fatty acyl glycosides were further distinguished from one another by acetylation and/or malonylation on the glucose moiety. Of these compounds, the 1,2′-cyclic ester of 12(R)-(6-O-acetyl-3-O-malonyl-β-d-glucopyranosyloxy)octadecanoic acid (gallicaside J) was the most abundant (30.7%). These secondary metabolites were found specifically in the glandular trichome exudate rather than in other aerial parts.

- A General Approach to Intermolecular Olefin Hydroacylation through Light-Induced HAT Initiation: An Efficient Synthesis of Long-Chain Aliphatic Ketones and Functionalized Fatty Acids
-
Herein, an operationally simple, environmentally benign and effective method for intermolecular radical hydroacylation of unactivated substrates by employing photo-induced hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) initiation is described. The use of commercially available and inexpensive photoinitiators (Ph2CO and NHPI) makes the process attractive. The olefin hydroacylation protocol applies to a wide array of substrates bearing numerous functional groups and many complex structural units. The reaction proves to be scalable (up to 5 g). Different functionalized fatty acids, petrochemicals and naturally occurring alkanes can be synthesized with this protocol. A radical chain mechanism is implicated in the process.

- Influence of positional isomers on the macroscale and nanoscale architectures of aggregates of racemic hydroxyoctadecanoic acids in their molecular gel, dispersion, and solid states
-
Inter/intramolecular hydrogen bonding of a series of hydroxystearic acids (HSAs) are investigated. Self-assembly of molecular gels obtained from these fatty acids with isomeric hydroxyl groups is influenced by the position of the secondary hydroxyl group. 2-Hydroxystearic acid (2HSA) does not form a molecular dimer, as indicated by FT-IR, and growth along the secondary axis is inhibited because the secondary hydroxyl group is unable to form intermolecular H-bonds. As well, the XRD long spacing is shorter than the dimer length of hydroxystearic acid. 3-Hydroxystearic acid (3HSA) forms an acyclic dimer, and the hydroxyl groups are unable to hydrogen bond, preventing the crystal structure from growing along the secondary axis. Finally, isomers 6HSA, 8HSA, 10HSA, 12HSA, and 14HSA have similar XRD and FT-IR patterns, suggesting that these molecules all self-assemble in a similar fashion. The monomers form a carboxylic cyclic dimer, and the secondary hydroxyl group promotes growth along the secondary axis.

- Electroorganic synthesis 65. Anodic homocoupling of carboxylic acids derived from fatty acids
-
Fatty acid derived carboxylic acids with double bonds, hydroxy-, amino-, keto-, ester- and epoxy groups are anodically coupled to dimers (Kolbe electrolysis) in 29 to 81% yield and up to a 2.5 mol scale. Problems due to the low conductivity of fatty acid salts were overcome by the use of a flow cell with a narrow electrode gap. Fatty acids with branched alkyl chains gave dimers with interesting emulsifying properties. Dimethyl hexadecanedioate, accessible from methyl azelate, could be cyclized and further converted into homomuscone and muscone in a few steps. A commercial mixture of dimeric fatty acids (C36-dicarboxylic acids) has been coupled to give C70-diesters. Acta Chemica Scandinavica 1998. Part 64: Nielsen, M. F., Batanero, B.,.

- Properties of unusual phospholipids. III: Synthesis, monolayer investigations and DSC studies of hydroxy octadeca(e)noic acids and diacylglycerophosphocholines derived therefrom
-
Diacylglycerophosphocholines containing (R)-3-, (R)-12-, (R)-17-hydroxy octadeca(e)noic acids and the corresponding racemates were synthesized and purified to homogeneity. The influence of the position of the hydroxy group on the monolayer packing properties of these fatty acids and their phosphatidylcholines was studied by Langmuir techniques and 1,2-di-[(R)-12-hydroxy-octadec-cis-9-enyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine displayed the largest lift-off area (330 A2/molecule). This result was in line with the thermotropic phase behavior of these phospholipids, as measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC): the gel- to liquid-crystalline phase transition temperature (T(m))passed through a minimum of -15.1°C for 1,2-di-[(R)-12-hydroxy-octadec-cis-9-enyl]-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine.

- An Asymmetric Synthesis of Acyclic and Macrocyclic α-Alkyl Ketones. The Role of (E)- and (Z)-Lithioenamines
-
Metalation and alkylation of chiral imines derived from C10, C12, and C15 cyclic ketones gave, under kinetic metalation conditions, 2-alkylcycloalkanones of absolute configuration opposite to that formed from thermodynamic metalation.Thus, (S)-(-)-2-methylcyclododecanone is formed kinetically in 60percent ee, whereas (R)-(+)-methylcyclododecanone is reached in 80percent ee under thermodynamic conditions.In a similar fashion, acyclic ketones 20, via their chiral imines 17, are alkylated enantioselectively under both kinetic and thermodynamic modes.The kinetic metalation gives exclusively the (Z)-lithioenamines (19), while reflux of this lithio anion gives only the (E)-lithioenamine (19).Chiral α-substituted ketones are produced in 18-97percent ee.
