Based on a modular design strategy, three new types of tartaric acid, lactic acid and TADDOL derived compounds featuring a linear shaped central backbone and terminally attached functional units corresponding to the above substance classes have been developed. This has led to the synthesis of the compounds 1a-6a (tartaric acid derivatives), 7a-11a (lactic acid derivatives) and 1c-6c (TADDOL derivatives). Preparation of the tartaric acid derivatives involved Pd-catalysed cross-coupling reactions followed by transacetalisation and hydrolysis of the corresponding esters in the final step of the synthetic routes. The derivatives of lactic acid have been prepared on a similar reaction sequence but with the use of lactic esters. The TADDOL derivatives were obtained by Grignard reaction between phenylmagnesium bromide and tartaric esters. Optical rotation data are specified for each compound including intermediates. Organic vapour sorption behaviour of selected compounds coated as solid films on the quartz crystal of a QCM device has been studied. Significant differences in the affinities towards organic solvent vapours are observed. They both depend on structural properties of the respective receptor solvent molecules and solvent polarity as well, showing developmental possibility in the application of vapour sensing.
X-ray crystal structures and conformational analysis of cyclic acetals derived from tartaric acid and rigid spacer units

Three tartaric ester and tartaric acid derivatives (1-3) with the hydroxy groups being linked via cyclic acetal (1,3-dioxolane) formation to a rigid core, containing phenyl and ethynyl units, have been synthesized. Their crystal structures are reported, emphasizing the molecular geometry, intermolecular interactions, and the resulting packing motifs. All dioxolane rings present in the crystal structures of 1-3 are analyzed and compared with regard to their conformational behavior. In spite of similar substitution patterns, the dioxolane units adopt different conformations including twist and varying envelope isomers. The crystal structures are dominated by C- H···O (esters 1 and 2) and O-H···O (acid 3) hydrogen bonds, leading to different types of packing motifs being characteristic of strand and layer formation.
