Charge-transfer complex study by chemical force spectroscopy: a dynamic force spectroscopic approach.

Charge-transfer interaction, as a reversible and rapid phenomenon, was evidenced by force microscopy. Pull-off forces were measured between a tip grafted with a trinitrofluorenone derivative and a surface functionalized with an electron-rich aromatic anthracene compound in a dodecane environment. The effect of the sweep time on the measured interaction forces is described, together with an extensive study of a competitive influence of free aromatic molecules in dodecane diluted solutions. These forces depend on the nature of the competitor and its concentration as well as on the velocity of tip/sample separation.

Reusable catalysts for the asymmetric Diels-Alder reaction.

A new method for recycling chiral bis(oxazoline)-copper complexes is described based on the formation of charge-transfer complexes, their subsequent precipitation, and reuse after addition of new substrates. The conditions to perform this procedure were optimized in the presence of three bis(oxazoline)-based ligands. When associated with copper salts, these ligands efficiently catalyzed the Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and alpha,beta-unsaturated acyloxazolidinones. These catalysts were successfully recycled up to ten times while maintaining their high activities and enantioselectivities.

Enantioselective intramolecular hydroamination catalyzed by lanthanide ate complexes coordinated by N-substituted (R)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamido ligands.

Ytterbium and lutetium ionic complexes derived from enantiopure substituted (R)-binaphthylamine ligands, of the general formula [Li(THF)n][Ln[(R)-C20H12(NR)2]2], have been investigated for the hydroamination/cyclization of several aminopentenes and an aminohexene. Complexes with isopropyl or cyclohexyl substituents on nitrogen atoms were found to be efficient catalysts under mild conditions for the formation of N-containing heterocycles with enantiomeric excesses up to 78%.

A new method for recycling asymmetric catalysts via formation of charge transfer complexes.

[reaction: see text]. A new concept for recycling asymmetric bis(oxazoline)-type catalysts is reported. The formation of charge-transfer complexes between the chiral ligand and trinitrofluorenone and their subsequent precipitation and reuse by addition of new substrate solutions is described. The efficiency of this procedure is demonstrated in a Diels-Alder reaction to reach the expected endo product as major isomer (up to 97% de and 94% ee): the catalyst was used up to 12 times without loss of either activity or selectivity.

Lanthanide complexes coordinated by N-substituted (R)-1,1'-binaphthyl-2,2'-diamido ligands in the catalysis of enantioselective intramolecular hydroamination.

A new family of lanthanide ionic complexes derived from chiral, substituted (R)-binaphthylamine ligands, [Li(thf)(4)][Ln{(R)-C(20)H(12)(NR)(2)}(2)] (Ln=Yb, Sm, Nd, or Lu), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystal structure analyses. All complexes have been tested as new catalysts for the hydroamination/cyclization of 1-(aminomethyl)-1-allylcyclohexane. Ytterbium complexes proved to be both the most active and the most enantioselective, and the use of the complex [Li(thf)(4)][Yb{(R)-C(20)H(12)(NC(3)H(7))(2)}(2)], bearing isopropyl radicals on the nitrogen atoms, allowed the formation of the corresponding spiropyrrolidine in high yield with up to 70 % ee.
