Diastereoselective Synthesis of cis-2,6-Disubstituted Perhydro-4-pyranones Using Elevated Pressure Hydrogenation
摘要:
A diastereoselective strategy for the synthesis of gamma-pyrons was developed, starting from the Mg diacetonedicarboxylate complex. Initial cyclization with suitable anhydrides or acid chlorides, followed by hydrolytic decarboxylation leads to 2,6-disubstituted pyrans. Elevated pressure hydrogenation using Pd/C affords the title compounds in high diastereoselectivity. Scope and limitations of the method are outlined on selected examples.
Design of optimized photorefractive polymers: A novel class of chromophores
摘要:
It is demonstrated that the microscopic mechanism of the photorefractive (PR) effect in organic composites with low glass transition temperatures involves the formation of refractive index gratings through a space-charge field-modulated Kerr effect. A tensorial formulation of the macroscopic aspects of the PR Kerr effect and its microscopic interpretation is presented. The second-order dipole orientation term containing the anisotropy of the first-order optical polarizability α(−ω;ω) is shown to yield the dominant contribution to the Kerr susceptibility χ(3)(−ω;ω,0,0). A class of special chromophores having negligible second-order polarizabilities β(−ω;ω,0) and large dipole moments μ has been identified in order to optimize this term. These chromophores are not subject to the efficiency-transparency tradeoff typically encountered with second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) chromophores, providing highly transparent materials with large PR Kerr response. Contrary to previous approaches in this field, the best-performing PR polymers are then expected to employ chromophores that would be useless for second- order applications (negligible β). We report PR of the material 30% 2,6-di-n-propyl-4H-pyran-4-ylidenemalononitrile (DPDCP): 15% N,N′-bis(3-methylphenyl)- N,N′-bis(phenyl)benzidine (TPD):55% poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA):0.3% C60 as an illustration of this principle. A 100 μm thick film of this material exhibits a steady-state diffraction efficiency of η=25% and net two-beam coupling of Γ=50 cm−1 at a bias field of 100 V/μm and a wavelength of 676 nm. The macroscopic Kerr susceptibility of the material is related to molecular electronic properties of the chromophore DPDCP which were independently determined by experiments in solution and by quantum chemical calculations.
Brønsted acid catalyzed tandem cyclization was found to be highly effective for the preparation of a series of polysubstituted 4-pyrones from diynones (yield up to 99%). 4-Pyridone and 3-pyrrolone derivatives were also selectively synthesized by employing NIS and/or Brønsted acid. NIS as an electrophilic reagent could promote these reactions efficiently and rapidly under very mild reaction conditions

Recombinant whole cells of Escherichia coli overex-pressing Acinetobacter sp. NCIMB 9871 cyclohexanonemonooxygenase (E.C. 1.14.13.22) have been utilized for the Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of prochiral perhydro-pyranones. The spatial limitations of the enzyme's active site have been estimated by increasing the chain length of cis-substituents in positions 2 and 6. A diastereoselective synthetic sequence
