Molecular Dynamics of Steroidal Rotors Probed by Theoretical, Spectroscopic and Dielectric Methods. Chemistry 2024; 30:e202303933.

Abstract
Our study focuses on molecular rotors with fast-moving rotators and their potential applications in the development of new amphidynamic crystals. Steroidal molecular rotors with a dipolar fluorine-substituted phenyl group as the rotator were synthesized and characterized. Three different rotors were investigated with varying numbers of fluorine atoms. A comprehensive analysis was performed using vibrational spectroscopy (Raman, FT-IR), electronic circular dichroism (ECD), and dielectric response to understand the behavior of the investigated model rotors. The results were supported by theoretical calculations using Density Functional Theory (DFT) methods. The angle-dependent polarized Raman spectra confirmed the crystallinity of the samples. Nearly frequency and temperature-independent permittivity suggest low-frequency librational motion of stators. An in-depth analysis of ECD spectra revealed high conformational flexibility in solution, resulting in low ECD effects, while in the solid-state with restricted rotation, significant ECD effects were observed. These findings shed light on the conformational behavior and potential applications of the studied steroidal molecular rotors.

Abstract
This paper's main objective is to show that many different factors must be considered when solving stereochemical problems to avoid misleading conclusions and obtain conclusive results from the analysis of spectroscopic properties. Particularly in determining the absolute configuration, the use of chiroptical methods is crucial, especially when other techniques, including X-ray crystallography, fail, are not applicable, or give inconclusive results. Based on various β-lactam derivatives as models, we show how to reliably determine their absolute configuration (AC) and preferred conformation from circular dichroism (CD) spectra. Comprehensive CD analysis, employing both approaches, i.e., traditional with their sector and helicity rules, and state-of-the-art supported by quantum chemistry (QC) calculations along with solvation models for both electronic (ECD) and vibrational (VCD) circular dichroism ranges, allows confident defining stereochemistry of the β-lactams studied. Based on an in-depth analysis of the results, we have shown that choosing a proper chiroptical method/s strictly depends on the specific case and certain structural features.

Abstract
An effective protocol for the quaternization of simple 1-aminoalkylphosphonic acids under basic conditions using Me2SO4 as a convenient alkylating agent is reported. During the course of the reaction, phosphonic acid quaternary ammonium derivatives, along with their corresponding monoesters are formed. Subsequent direct acidic hydrolysis of the crude reaction mixture leads to the desired novel N,N,N-trialkyl-N-(1-phosphonoalkyl)ammonium salts with overall yields of up to 88%. The developed protocol is general in scope and the products are purified by simple crystallization to give stable solids. Novel quaternary ammonium salts bearing a phosphonic group are generally unreactive in acidic and alkaline media. However, some of them undergo Hofmann elimination and substitution reactions in the presence of a base.

Abstract
Due to their structural similarity with natural α-amino acids, α-aminophosphonic acid derivatives are known biologically active molecules. In view of the relevance of tetrasubstituted carbons in nature and medicine and the strong dependence of the biological activity of chiral molecules into their absolute configuration, the synthesis of α-aminophosphonates bearing tetrasubstituted carbons in an asymmetric fashion has grown in interest in the past few decades. In the following lines, the existing literatures for the synthesis of optically active tetrasubstituted α-aminophosphonates are summarized, comprising diastereoselective and enantioselective approaches.

Abstract
AbstractThe Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) reaction is one of the most reliable olefination reaction and can be broadly applied in organic chemistry and natural product synthesis with excellent selectivity. Within the last few years HWE reaction conditions have been optimized and new reagents developed to overcome challenges in the total syntheses of natural products. This review highlights the application of HWE olefinations in total syntheses of structurally different natural products covering 2015 to 2020. Applied HWE reagents and reactions conditions are highlighted to support future synthetic approaches and serve as guideline to find the best HWE conditions for the most complicated natural products.1 Introduction and Historical Background2 Applications of HWE2.1 Cyclization by HWE Reactions2.2.1 Formation of Medium- to Larger-Sized Rings2.2.2 Formation of Small- to Medium-Sized Rings2.3 Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Groups2.4 Synthesis of Substituted C=C Bonds2.5 Late-Stage Modifications by HWE Reactions2.6 HWE Reactions on Solid Supports2.7 Synthesis of Poly-Conjugated C=C Bonds2.8 HWE-Mediated Coupling of Larger Building Blocks2.9 Miscellaneous3 Summary and Outlook
