- Synthesis of a new water-soluble C2-symmetric chiral diamine: Preliminary investigation of its catalytic properties for asymmetric hydrogenation under biphasic conditions
-
A water-soluble version of N,N′-dimethyl-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diamine was prepared by introduction of phosphonic acid moieties on the para position of the aromatic rings. Preliminary investigation of the catalytic properties of the iridium complex of this ligand under biphasic conditions showed that this system compared well with the homogeneous counterpart for the asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones but with noticeably higher reaction rates for the biphasic system.

- Relative Conjugative Abilities of Three-Membered Ring Heterocycles with Benzene Based on 13C and 15N NMR
-
The conjugative ability of various three-membered rings with benzene was investigated by observing the sensitivity of β-carbon 13C chemical shifts to para substituents.These Hammett ρ values were 2.0, 1.5, 1.0, and 0.9 ppm for arylcyclopropanes, N-methyl-2-arylaziridines, phenyloxiranes, and N,N-dimethyl-2-arylaziridinium fluorosulfonates, respectively.These values were intermediate to ones for para-substituted styrenes (6.5 ppm) and ethylbenzenes (-0.9 ppm), model compounds which were taken to represent extremes of conjugative ability.Similar results were found for 15N chemical shifts of trans-3-aryl-oxaziridines, which had a slope of 2.1 ppm, intermediate to those for benzylimines (20.2 ppm) and benzylamines (-1.3 ppm).The order of conjugative ability, which decreases with increasing electronegativity of the hetero group, could not be explained by hybridization changes based on comparing open chain analoques with the above compounds or by conformational factors.The trend can, however, be interpreted qualitatively by perturbation theory which shows that more electronegative hetero groups decrease the extent of interaction between aryl-? and cyclopropane orbitals as well as cross ring conjugation.
