- Docking model of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and nitromethylene neonicotinoid derivatives with a longer chiral substituent and their biological activities
-
In the present study, nitromethylene neonicotinoid derivatives possessing substituents that contain a sulfur atom, oxygen atom or aromatic ring at position 5 on the imidazolidine ring were synthesized to evaluate their affinity for the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) and their insecticidal activity against adult female houseflies. Comparing the receptor affinity of the alkylated derivative with the receptor affinity of compounds possessing either ether or thioether groups revealed that conversion of the carbon atom to a sulfur atom did not influence the receptor affinity, whereas conversion to an oxygen atom was disadvantageous for the receptor affinity. The receptor affinity of compounds possessing a benzyl or phenyl group was lower than that of the unsubstituted compound. Analysis of the three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship using comparative molecular field analysis demonstrated that steric hindrance of the receptor should exist around the C3 of an n-butyl group attached at position 5 on the imidazolidine ring. A docking study of the nAChR-ligand model suggested that the ligand-binding region expands as the length of the substituent increases by brushing against the amino acids that form the binding region. The insecticidal activity of the compounds was positively correlated with the receptor affinity by considering log P and the number of heteroatoms, including sulfur and oxygen atoms, in the substituents, suggesting that the insecticidal activity is influenced by the receptor affinity, hydrophobicity, and metabolic stability of the compounds.

- Asymmetric synthesis of protected 1,2-amino alcohols using tert-butanesulfinyl aldimines and ketimines
-
tert-Butanesulfinyl aldimines and ketimines bearing an α-benzyloxy or α-silyloxy substituent serve as precursors in the synthesis of protected 1,2-amino alcohols in high yields and diastereoselectivities. General protocols are described for the addition of unbranched alkyl, branched alkyl, and aryl organometallic reagents to N-sulfinyl aldimines 1 and 2 and ketimines 5 and 6. Furthermore, the selective N- or O-deprotection of sulfinamide products 3, 4, 7, and 8 is described, enabling further synthetic transformations of the reaction products.

- Synthesis and Characterization of Chiral Oxazolidine-2-selones: A General One-Step Procedure from Readily Available Oxazolines
-
The synthesis of a wide variety of chiral oxazolidine-2-selones from readily available 2-oxazolines has been accomplished in one step with yields ranging from 82 to 98percent.A mechanistic investigation of the formation of these selones has indicated the presence of intermediate anions which have been characterized by 13C and 77Se NMR spectroscopy.X-ray crystallographic data suggest the chiral selones exists as dimeric pairs or networks linked by unusual selenium hydrogen bonds.These chiral reagents exhibit extraordinary 77Se chemical shift sensitivity and are useful for the detection and quantitation of chirality at remotely disposed chiral centers.
