We report the first chiral surface active anionic liquid, T12M, derived from biodegradable tartaric acid, and its unusual properties. T12M features unprecedented combination of characteristics not found in other ionic liquids (ILs): (a) T12M is the first surface active ionic liquid that is fully chiral, by virtue of the presence of chirality in both anionic headgroup and the counterion; (b) T12M remains as room temperature IL for 3 days and then transforms to a semisolid with melting point at ~55 °C. The d-spacings in solid T12M, and T12M lyophilized from its aqueous solution, are 13.89 and 14.54 ?, respectively. (c) Tartaric acid is unconventional and unprecedented starting material for the synthesis of ILs. (d) T12M dissolves in both hydrogen bonding (water) and non-hydrogen bonding (chloroform) solvents and forms anionic chiral micellar aggregates (CMAs) and reverse-CMAs, at very low concentrations 0.32 mM and ~10 mM, respectively. (e) CMAs of T12M adopt structures ranging from spherical to lamellar in shape in water in the 10-200 mM range; however, the zeta potential remained constant at ~ -13 mV. The alkyl chains, are interdigited in the CMAs of T12M in water to form lamellar structures and are extended outward to form reverse micelles in CHCl3.

Abstract The absolute configuration of picrasidine Y, a β-carboline alkaloid isolated from Picrasma quassioides (Simaroubaceae), has not been determined. To determine the absolute configuration of picrasidine Y, we synthesized stereoisomers of picrasidine Y through 7-step chemical reactions using tartaric acid as a starting material. Moreover, we extended the scope of application of this synthetic method to canthin-5,6-dione compounds. The absolute configuration of natural picrasidine Y was elucidated based on comparisons of chemically synthesized isoforms with the naturally occurring compound in 1H and 13C NMR spectra, specific optical rotation, HPLC analysis with chiral columns, computational molecular simulation, and analysis with the CD exciton chirality method.

The invention relates to an eslicarbazepine ester prodrug and an application thereof, wherein the prodrug is a compound represented by the formula (I) or optical isomers or physiologically acceptable salts of the compound represented by the formula (I), wherein R represents a lipophilic substituent. The compound represented by the formula (I) is the eslicarbazepine ester prodrug containing the lipophilic substituent, is converted into eslicarbazepine through metabolism in vivo to play pharmacological effects, and can be applied in preparation of drugs for treatment, prevention or adjuvant treatment of central nervous system diseases, such as epilepsy and the like.
Diastereoselective ritter-like reaction on cyclic trifluoromethylated N,O-acetals derived from L-tartaric acid

Despite the presence of the highly electron-withdrawing fluorinated substituent, cyclic α-trifluoromethylated N-acyliminium ions were successfully generated from fluorinated O-acetyl-N,O-acetal L-tartaric acid derivatives. The addition of nitriles on these intermediates occurred with high to excellent syn diastereoselectivity and led, in most cases, to oxazolines and amides as single diastereomers. The diastereoselectivity of the addition and the nature of the reaction product depend on the substituents on the hydroxyl groups of the tartaric acid scaffold. This methodology gave access to enantiopure, highly functionalized 5-(trifluoromethyl)pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives, bearing the fluorinated substituent on a tetrasubstituted carbon.
