Cucurbit[8]Uril Rotaxanes, Vijayakumar Ramalingam, Adam R. Urbach
Chemistry Faculty Research
The synthesis of [2]rotaxanes, each comprising a viologen core threaded through a cucurbit[8]uril (Q8, Figure 1) macrocycle and stoppered by tetraphenylmethane groups, and their binding to second guests as inclusion complexes in organic and aqueous media are described. Stoppering was observed to have little effect on binding. Chemical modification of the threaded guest was used to control solubility and binding characteristics, thus demonstrating a novel approach to making artificial receptors with readily modifiable properties.
Gram Scale Synthesis Of The C(18)-C(34) Fragment Of Amphidinolide C., Nicholas A Morra, Brian L Pagenkopf
Gram Scale Synthesis Of The C(18)-C(34) Fragment Of Amphidinolide C., Nicholas A Morra, Brian L Pagenkopf
Chemistry Publications
The synthesis of the C(18)-C(34) fragment of amphidinolide C has been achieved via two routes, culminating in both the shortest (11 steps) and highest yielding (26% overall yield) approaches to this segment. The highly convergent approach will facilitate the synthesis of analogues, including the C(18)-C(29) fragment of amphidinolide F. Synthetic highlights include the selective methylation of a diyne, and the highly efficient use of a second generation cobalt catalyst in the Mukaiyama oxidative cyclization to form the trans-THF ring.
