[Study on relationship between three-dimensional quantitative structure and retention parameters of chromatography].

Abstract

A novel method to predict retention parameters of liquid chromatography is developed. By determining their lowest energy conformation, molecules are aligned according to one specific rule and the scope of the molecular field is defined around the aligned molecules. A positively charged sp3 carbon probe atom is used to calculate the characters of the molecular field such as the electrostatic and steric interaction energies. Then partial least square (PLS) method is exploited to analyze relationships between the a, c parameters of compounds and characters of the molecular field and finally comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) models are built, which are exploited to study three-dimensional quantitative structure-retention relationship (QSRR) between the a, c parameters of compounds in methanol/water on a reversed-phase C18 column and the characters of the molecular field. The models are applied to four different forms of arenes: alkylation-substituted benzenes, multi-ring arenes, chlorobenzenes and dinitro-substituted arenes. The results of PLS analyses show that three-dimensional models are obtained from the first three forms. The cross-validated q2 of the first three models are all above 0.5 and the non-cross-validated r2 of the first two forms are even above 0.995, so the predictive abilities of these models are considerable. The model of dinitro-substituted arenes is not so reasonable. The possible reason is that the nitro-substitutions are on different benzene rings. The novel method explored can be utilized to predict the retention parameters of the compounds, which are unknown but have the same kind of structure with the known compounds, and also provide information about the class of the compounds. The results of this project can be applied to direct the further study of the relationship between three-dimensional quantitative structure and retention parameters of liquid chromatography.

Rh-catalyzed enantioselective conjugate addition of arylboronic acids with a dynamic library of chiral tropos phosphorus ligands.

A library of 19 chiral tropos phosphorus ligands, based on a free-to-rotate (tropos) biphenol unit and a chiral P-bonded alcohol (11 phosphites, 1-P(O)(2)O to 11-P(O)(2)O) or secondary amine (8 phosphoramidites, 12-P(O)(2)N to 19-P(O)(2)N), were screened, individually and in combinations of two, in the rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to enones and enoates. High enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) and excellent yields were obtained in the addition to either cyclic or acyclic substrates. The flexible biphenolic P ligands outperformed the analogous rigid binaphtholic P ligands. Variable-temperature (31)P NMR studies revealed that the biphenolic ligands are tropos even at low temperature. Only below 190 K was a coalescence observed; upon further cooling, two atropisomers were detected. The Rh homocomplexes ([Rh(L(a))(2)](+)) were also studied: in general, a single doublet (P-Rh coupling) was observed in the case of the biphenolic phosphite ligands, over the temperature range 380-230 K, demonstrating their tropos nature in the rhodium complexes even at low temperatures. On the other hand, the phosphoramidites showed different behaviors depending on the structure of the ligand and on the nature of the rhodium source. The spectrum at 230 K of the mixture of [Rh(acac)(eth)(2)] (eth=C(2)H(4)) with phosphite 6-P(O)(2)O and phosphoramidite 19-P(O)(2)N (the most enantioselective ligand combination in the conjugate addition reaction) revealed the presence of four homocomplexes (total approximately 40 %: [Rh{6-P(O)(2)O}(2)], [Rh{(aR)-19-P(O)(2)N}(2)], [Rh{(aS)-19-P(O)(2)N}(2)], [Rh{(aR)-19-P(O)(2)N}{(aS)-19-P(O)(2)N}]) and one heterocomplex, [Rh{6-P(O)(2)O}{(aR)-19-P(O)(2)N}] (approximately 60 %) In the heterocomplex, the biphenol-derived phosphite is free to rotate (tropos) while the biphenol-derived phosphoramidite shows a temperature-dependent tropos/atropos behavior (coalescence temperature=310 K).

Synthesis and reactivity of the methylene arenium form of a benzyl cation, stabilized by complexation.

Benzyl cations are unstable intermediates involved in various chemical and biological processes. Two extreme resonance forms of these cations include positive charge localization at the methylene carbon or delocalization in the ring, the latter, nonaromatic form, termed "methylene arenium". The preparation of the discrete methylene arenium compound, stabilized by coordination to a metal (palladium) center, is described. It was fully characterized, including by X-ray diffraction. Reactivity patterns, resulting from charge distribution in the ring, were observed. Upon controlled release of the methylene arenium compound into solution, it demonstrates aromatic benzyl cation reactivity.

Modeling the mononuclear, dinuclear, and trinuclear copper(I) reaction centers of copper proteins using pyridylalkylamine ligands connected to 1,3,5-triethylbenzene spacer.

The structure and O2-reactivity of copper(I) complexes supported by novel ligands, Pye2 (1,3,5-triethyl-2,4-bis((N-benzyl-N-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)-)aminomethyl)benzene), Pye3 (1,3,5-triethyl-2,4,6-tris((N-benzyl-N-(2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl))aminomethyl)benzene), MePym2 (1,3,5-triethyl-2,4-bis((N-benzyl-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-ylmethyl))aminomethyl)benzene), and MePym3 (1,3,5-triethyl-2,4,6-tris((N-benzyl-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-ylmethyl))aminomethyl)benzene) have been examined. The ligands are designed to construct mono-, di-, and trinuclear copper(I) complexes by connecting two or three pyridylalkylamine metal-binding sites to a 1,3,5-triethylbenzene spacer. Thus, the reaction of the ligands with [CuI(CH3CN)4]X (X = PF6, CF3SO3) or CuICl gave the expected mononuclear copper(I) complexes [CuI(Pye2)(CF3SO3)] (1) and [CuI(Pye3)](CF3SO3) (2), dinuclear copper(I) complex [CuI2(MePym2)(Cl)]CuICl2 (3), and trinuclear copper(I) complex [CuI3(MePym3)(CH3CN)3](CF3SO3)3 (4), the structures of which were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis. The mononuclear copper(I) complexes, 1 and 2, exhibit a distorted three-coordinate T-shape structure and a trigonal planar structure, respectively, which are very close to the coordination geometry of the CuA site of PHM (peptidylglycine alpha-hydroxylating monooxygenase) and the CuB site of CcO (cytochrome c oxidase). Notably, 1 and 2 showed a significantly high oxidation potential (990 mV vs SCE), thus showing virtually no reactivity toward O2. On the other hand, the metal centers of the dinuclear and trinuclear copper(I) complexes, 3 and 4, exhibit a distorted trigonal planar geometry and a trigonal pyramidal geometry, respectively. In contrast to the mononuclear copper(I) complexes, these dinuclear and trinuclear copper(I) complexes reacted with O2 to induce an aromatic ligand hydroxylation reaction involving an NIH-shift of one of the ethyl substituents on the benzene spacer. The NIH-shift of the alkyl substituent on the aromatic ring is strong evidence of the electrophilic aromatic substitution mechanism, although the active oxygen intermediate could not be directly detected during the course of the reaction. The biological relevance of the copper(I) complexes is also discussed on the basis of structure and O2-reactivity.
