Naphthyl rings

Appllca.tlons. The first widely appHcable Ic separation of enantiomeric metallocene compounds was demonstrated on P-CD bonded-phase columns. Thirteen enantiomeric derivatives of ferrocene, mthenocene, and osmocene were resolved (7). Retention data for several of these compounds are listed in Table 2, and Figure 2a shows the Ic separation of three metallocene enantiomeric pairs. P-Cyclodextrin bonded phases were used to resolve several racemic and diastereomeric 2,2-binaphthyldiyl crown ethers (9). These compounds do not contain a chiral carbon but stiU exist as enantiomers because of the staggered position of adjacent naphthyl rings, and a high degree of chiral recognition was attained for most of these compounds (9). 

In the last few years McCleverty, Ward, and co-workers have reported the NIR electrochromic behavior of a series of mononuclear and dinuclear complexes containing the oxo-Mo(iv) v core unit [Mo(Tp )(0)Cl(OAr)], where Ar denotes a phenyl or naphthyl ring system [Tp = hydro-hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate].184-189 Mononuclear complexes of this type undergo reversible MoIV/Mov and Mov/MoVI redox processes with all three oxidation states accessible at modest potentials. Whilst reduction to the MoIV state results in unremarkable changes in the electronic spectrum, oxidation to MoVI results in the appearance of a low-energy phenolate- (or naphtholate)-to-MoVI LMCT process.184,185... 

Zhang and Chan122 found that Hg-BINOL, (R)- or (S )-134, in which the naphthyl rings in the BINOL were partially hydrogenated,123 can give even better results in the diethylzinc reactions. Using (R)- or (5,)-134 as the chiral ligand, addition of diethylzinc to aromatic aldehydes proceeds smoothly with over 95% ee and, in most cases, quantitative conversion.122... 

Based on the discussed acylpalladium 7i-allylic complex (Scheme 5.22) and the reported X-ray structure of the (R)-MOP—Pd 7i-allylic complex [31], the acylpalladium (R)-MOP Ti-allylic complex C (Scheme 5.24) is proposed for the formation of the (R)-product. Complex D, which would give the (S)-product, suffers from steric compression between the MeO-naphthyl ring and the acyl group, while there is no such steric interaction in complex C. Thus, reductive elimination of Pd(0) from C would preferentially yield the... 

A blue shift is observed if the phenyl ring Ar in structure 123 is replaced by a naphthyl ring. The product is known as Victoria Blue (129) ... 

This spectral nonequivalence for the diastereomeric solvates was originally rationalized in terms of conformers 28 (shown for TFPE as solute) where (/2)-NEA as its preferred rotamer (dictated by the peri interaction) interacts primarily with the carbinol hydroxyl and populates the conformers shown through an aryl-aryl attraction. Thus, in (5, )-28, the carbinyl proton is held more closely to the naphthyl ring, whereas in R,R)-28 its position is reversed. This situation results in the observed highfield sense of nonequivalence for the carbinyl proton of carbinols 27 and accounts for the opposite sense shown by the fluorine resonances. In one instance, aryl nonequivalence was also identified. AU three ring protons of trifluoromethyl-a-thienylcarbinol (13) show the same nonequivalence sense as the carbinyl proton (opposite to that of trifluoromethyl). Such also is expected from the proposed interactions 28, since the aryl substituent... 

Closing naphthyl ring. The induced dipole moment is then chirally disposed in relation to the inducing NH2 dipole moment. This mechanism, referred to as the dynamic polarization model (45), is shown to explain most of the observed VCD intensity in the synunetric NH2 stretching mode, >>nh2- The anisotropy ratio for this VCD band is ca. 10. Since an NH. . . x type hydrogen bond is possible in this molecule, a description based on vibrationally induced charge flow (currents) may also be riuitfiil, similar to that proposed for a-phenyleth-ylamine.

Recent conformational calculations made on the 2,4-bis(2-naphthyl)-pentanes 1371 gave results similar to the diphenylpentanes. The tt state (EFS) in the 2-naphthyl meso isomer was found to be 2.3 kcal/mole higher than the tg, g+t state, consistent with a larger repulsion between naphthyl rings than for phenyl rings. It is apparent from molecular models, and has been confirmed by Seki et al.138,139), that the... 

Fuji and co-workers have demonstrated the use of a PPY derivative that utilizes remote stereochemistry and an interesting induced fit process to control selectivity [21]. Upon acylation of catalyst 20, a conformational change occurs, stabilizing the intermediate N-acyliminium ion 21 (Fig. 2a,b). Chemical shifts in the XH NMR and nOes observed support a Jt-Jt interaction between the electron-rich naphthyl ring and the electron-deficient pyridinium ring. This blocks the top face of the catalyst and directs attack of the alcohol from the bottom face. Catalyst 20 effects resolutions of diol-monoesters and amino alcohol derivatives such as 22 and 23 with moderate to good selectivity factors (fcrei=4.7-21, see Fig. 2c) [22]. 

The most favored conformation for BN is calculated to have a twist angle 0 for the naphthyl rings of 75-105° (37) From x-ray data, 6 in the optically active and racemic crystalline forms is 102-103° (28, 39) and 68° (39, 40), respectively.
