Synthesis of Methylated β-Cyclodextrins Derived Optically Active Poly(N-diphenylmethyl maleimide)

The methylated β-cyclodextrins derived optically active polymers are firs synthesized through asymmetric polymerization of N-diphenylmethyl maleimide with lithium salt of heptakis(2,6-O-dimethyl) β-cyclodextrin (DM-β-CD) as an initiator. The resulting polymers show negative specific rotation which is opposite in sign to that of DM-β-CD. The asymmetric induction is further confirmed by circular dichroism. The structure is characterized by IR and NMR spectroscopies

In the structure of the title compound, a two-dimensional supramolecular layer is formed via intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions.

A Novel Non-phosgene Process for the Synthesis of Methyl N-Phenyl Carbamate from Methanol and Phenylurea: Effect of Solvent and Catalyst

A novel environmentally benign process for the synthesis of methyl N-phenyl carbamate (MPC) from methanol and phenylurea was studied. Effect of solvent and catalyst on the reaction behavior was investigated. The IR spectra of methanol and phenylurea dissolved in different solvents were also recorded. Compared with use of methanol as both a reactant and a solvent, phenylurea conversion and selectivity to MPC increased by using toluene, benzene or anisole as a solvent, while phenylurea conversion decreased slightly by using n-octane as a solvent. The phenylurea conversion declined nearly 50% when dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was used as a reaction media, and MPC selec- tivity decreased as well. The catalytic reaction tests showed that a basic catalyst enhanced the selectivity to MPC while an acidic catalyst promoted the formation of methyl carbamate and aniline. Moderate degree of basicity showed the best catalytic performance in the cases studied.

First total synthesis of isoquinolinone alkaloid marinamide and its methyl ester

The first total synthesis of isoquinolinone alkaloid marinamide 1 and its methyl ester 2 was described. The key steps involved a regioselective Frieclel-Crafts reaction of 1-benzyl-1H-pyrrole to form the intermediate 8.

Phosphonium and arsonium ylides(?)——ⅩⅦ.A facile synthesis of methyl 2,6-bisperfluoroalkylbenzoates via acyclic precursors

The title compounds 6a—6f were prepared with high yield via intramolecular Wittig reaction of methyl 3-perfluoroalkyl-6-perfluoroacyl-2-triphenylphosphoranylidenehex-3,5-dienoates (5a—5i)which were obtained from the reaciton of 3-perfluoroacylprop-2-enylidenetriphenylphos- phoranes(3a—3c)with methyl perfluoroalkynoates(4a—4c).
