Organoaluminium complexes with sterically demanding oximato ligands: does a bulky and rigid ligand backbone change the aggregation motif?

The four organoaluminium ketoximates [(2,4-dimethylpentane-3-one oximato)AlMe(2)](2) (1), (meso)-[(norcamphor oximato)AlMe(2)](2) (2), {[(R,R)-camphor oximato]AlMe(2)}(3) (3) and {[(R,S)-fenchone oximato]AlMe(2)}(2) (4) have been prepared by the reactions of the corresponding oximes with trimethylaluminium. All compounds have been fully characterized by means of IR, mass and multi-nuclear NMR spectroscopy ((1)H, (13)C, (27)Al) and by elemental analyses. The crystal structures of three of these compounds (2, 3 and 4) were determined, revealing the aggregation motif of organometallic group 13 oximates to vary from the hitherto predominant six-membered dimeric M(2)N(2)O(2) array to others (six-membered M(3)O(3) core ring in the case of the camphor derivative; five-membered M(2)NO(2) core ring in the case of the fenchone derivative) so far only found e.g. in hydroxylamino complexes of group 13 metals. Furthermore, complexes 3 and 4 exhibit an unusual behaviour in solution, as indicated by upfield-shifted additional signals in their (27)Al NMR spectra, pointing at aluminium atoms in penta- or hexacoordination, respectively.

Comparative enantioseparations with native beta-cyclodextrin, randomly acetylated beta-cyclodextrin and heptakis-(2,3-di-O-acetyl)-beta-cyclodextrin in capillary electrophoresis.

Comparative enantioseparations were performed with three neutral cyclodextrins (CDs) in capillary electrophoresis (CE). In particular, native beta-CD was compared with single component heptakis(2,3-di-O-acetyl)-beta-CD (HDA-beta-CD) and randomly acetylated beta-CD (Ac-beta-CD) with the emphasis on the enantiomer migration order. The opposite affinity of the enantiomers of several chiral analytes was observed towards native beta-CD and its acetylated derivatives. The enantiomer affinity pattern of some chiral analytes was also opposite towards the two acetylated derivatives of beta-CD. In the case of the chiral drug clenbuterol (CL) an attempt was made to evaluate the possible structural reasons of the affinity reversal using one- and two-dimensional as well as transverse rotating frame nuclear Overhauser effect spectroscopy (ROESY). Significant differences were observed between the structure of the CL complexes with beta-CD and HDA-beta-CD.

Enantioseparation of glutethimide and its 5-OH-metabolite in capillary electrophoresis and study of selector-selectand interactions using one-dimensional rotating frame nuclear Overhauser and exchange spectroscopy.

Enantioseparation of glutethimide (GT) and its 5-hydroxy metabolite (5-OH-GT) has been studied with several charged cyclodextrin (CD) derivatives. The emphasis was made on the enantiomer migration order of GT and simultaneous enantioseparation of GT and 5-OH-GT. The possible structural differences of GT complexes with three different single isomer charged CD derivatives were studied using one-dimensional rotating frame nuclear Overhauser and exchange spectroscopy (1-D ROESY).

Comparative enantioseparations with native beta-cyclodextrin and heptakis-(2-O-methyl- 3,6-di-O-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin in capillary electrophoresis.

Twenty-three cationic chiral analytes were resolved in capillary electrophoresis using native beta-cyclodextrin and single isomer heptakis-(2-O-methyl-3,6-di-O-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin as chiral selectors. For 12 of 16 chiral analytes resolved with both chiral selectors the enantiomer migration order was opposite. In selected cases the structure of cyclodextrin-analyte complexes in aqueous solution was investigated using one-dimensional transverse rotating frame nuclear Overhauser and exchange spectroscopy. It was found that in contrast to mainly inclusion-type complexes between chiral analytes and beta-cyclodextrin, external complexes are formed between the chiral analytes and structurally crowded, highly charged heptakis-(2-O-methyl-3,6-di-O-sulfo)-beta-cyclodextrin.

Phytotoxic chaetoglobosins are produced by the plant pathogen Calonectria morganii (anamorph Cylindrocladium scoparium).

By the application of a bioassay based on cresson seedlings, two phytotoxic compounds were isolated by thin-layer chromatography from the culture fluid of a Calonectria morganii isolate. The structure of both compounds was elucidated by ESI/MS and NMR spectroscopy. According to the Chemical Abstracts database, they were identified as chaetoglobosin A and 19-O-acetylchaetoglobosin A, mycotoxins originally described for Chaetomium globosum.
