Structure, organic synthesis

The ability of crown ethers to bind selectively to particular Group IA and Group IIA metal ions, because of the relationship between hole size and metal ion radius, has led to considerable interest in them in relation to membranes (models for selective ion transport), antibiotics (similar polyether structure), organic synthesis [solubilization of inorganic reagents leading to milder routes for oxidation (122), nucleophilic substitution (123), fluoridation (90)] and extraction of alkali... 

The pioneering works in chemometrics are summarized in some books. In a later phase chemometrics has been presented more fundamentally. Nowadays a series of books for the different aspects of chemometrics are available, such as in analytical chemistry, spectroscopy, calibration, quantitative structure-activity relationships, experimental design, chemical structures, organic synthesis, and neural networks. Research papers in chemometrics are widespread but some concentration occurs in journals of analytical chemistry, chromatography, spectroscopy, and computer chemistry. Two journals have the word chemometrics in their name Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems and Journal of Chemometrics. Comprehensive reviews about chemometrics in analytical chemistry have appeared since 1980 every two years 1982, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, and 1996. ... 

In biological systems molecular assemblies connected by non-covalent interactions are as common as biopolymers. Examples arc protein and DNA helices, enzyme-substrate and multienzyme complexes, bilayer lipid membranes (BLMs), and aggregates of biopolymers forming various aqueous gels, e.g, the eye lens. About 50% of the organic substances in humans are accounted for by the membrane structures of cells, which constitute the medium for the vast majority of biochemical reactions. Evidently organic synthesis should also develop tools to mimic the Structure and propertiesof biopolymer, biomembrane, and gel structures in aqueous media.

Intramolecular nucleophilic displacement reactions of aromatic nitro group by various nucleophiles include cydization reactions, which provide practical methods for the synthesis of a variety of heterocycles. 1 hope that the text of this review suggests a wide range of potential of this reaction in organic synthesis of various heterocycles. However, it is necessary to stress that some structural types described in this review could be prepared with similar, or even better yields by other methods. In spite of this, there are many heterocyclic systems for the synthesis of which the denitrocyclization strategy is a method of choice. 

Since an annulated six-membered carbocycle is a common structural element of natural products, the Robinson annulation is an important reaction in organic synthesis. 

Natural product synthesis poses the challenge to consider and develop new pathways of structural transformation. Natural products as targets for synthetic research possess a special fertility in this regard, because the structural channels of biosynthesis are not necessarily the conduits of organic synthesis.

A salient structural feature of intermediate 18 (Scheme 2b), the retrosynthetic precursor of aldehyde 13, is its y,r5-unsaturated ester moiety. As it turns out, the Johnson ortho ester variant of the Clai-sen rearrangement is an excellent method for the synthesis of y,<5-unsaturated esters.11 In fact, the Claisen rearrangement, its many variants included, is particularly valuable in organic synthesis as a method for the stereocontrolled construction of trans di- and tri-substituted carbon-carbon double bonds.12,13 Thus, it is conceivable that intermediate 18 could be fashioned in one step from allylic alcohol 20 through a Johnson ortho ester Claisen rearrangement. In... 

Corey s solution to the intimidating structural and stereochemical complexities of ginkgolide B features an impressive collection of powerful bond-forming strategies. The first total synthesis of ginkgolide B by the Corey group is a major achievement of contemporary organic synthesis.
