[PMID: 39301263 PMCID: PMC11411161 DOI: 10.34133/research.0474] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2024] [Revised: 08/11/2024] [Accepted: 08/26/2024] [Indexed: 09/22/2024]
Abstract
A series of new targets containing 3 chiral elements of central, orientational, and turbo chirality have been designed and synthesized asymmetrically. The absolute configurations and conformations of these types of chirality were concurrently controlled by using chiral sulfonimine auxiliary and unambiguously determined by x-ray diffraction analysis. These targets include alpha unnatural amino acid derivatives, which may play an important role for drug design, discovery, and development. Three propellers of turbo framework are covalently connected to a chiral C(sp3) center via C(sp2)-C(sp3) bonding along with a C-N axis, while one of them is orientated away from the same carbon chiral center. The turbo or propeller chirality is characterized by 2 types of molecular arrangements of propellers, clockwise (PPP) and counterclockwise (MMM), respectively. The turbo stereogenicity was found to depend on the center chirality of sulfonimine auxiliary instead of the chiral C(sp3) center, i.e., (S)- and (R)-sulfinyl centers led to the asymmetric formation of PPP- and MMM-configurations, respectively. Computational studies were conducted on relative energies for rotational barriers of a turbo target along the C-N anchor and the transition pathway between 2 enantiomers meeting our experimental observations. This work is anticipated to have a broad impact on chemical, biomedical, and materials sciences in the future.

Abstract
In this study, the design and asymmetric synthesis of a series of chiral targets of orientational chirality were conducted by taking advantage of N-sulfinylimine-assisted nucleophilic addition and modified Sonogashira catalytic coupling systems. Orientational isomers were controlled completely using alkynyl/alkynyl levers [C(sp)-C(sp) axis] with absolute configuration assignment determined by X-ray structural analysis. The key structural element of the resulting orientational chirality is uniquely characterized by remote through-space blocking. Forty examples of multi-step synthesis were performed, with modest to good yields and excellent orientational selectivity. Several chiral orientational amino targets are attached with scaffolds of natural and medicinal products, showing potential pharmaceutical and medical applications in the future.

Abstract
An exceptional achiral and chiral multilayer 3D polymer has been created and controlled by uniform and distinct aromatic chromophore units that are multiply sandwiched by naphthyl berths. In order to put together this assembly, it was necessary to search for new catalytic Suzuki-Miyaura polycouplings among various catalytic systems, monomers, and catalysts. Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) was able to verify the presence of many framework layers. The resulting achiral and chiral polymers displayed notable optical characteristic.

Abstract
Two 8,8' disubstituted binaphthyl ligands have been designed and synthesized in 3.1% and 11.4% overall yield, respectively. X-ray structure analysis demonstrated that a unique chiral microenvironment was created. With the assistance of a new aggregation-induced polarization (AIP) technology, chiral aggregates were determined as the fraction of polar solvent increased in the nonpolar/polar solvent system, which indicated their potential in modern asymmetric synthesis and catalysis.

Abstract
The design and synthesis of a type of [1 + 4 + 2] four-layer framework have been conducted by taking advantage of Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling and group-assisted purification (GAP) chemistry. The optimized coupling of double-layer diboronic esters with 1-bromo-naphth-2-yl phosphine oxides resulted in a series of multilayer folding targets, showing a broad scope of substrates and moderate to excellent yields. The final products were purified using group-assisted purification chemistry/technology, achieved simply by washing crude products with 95% EtOH without the use of chromatography and recrystallization. The structures were fully characterized and assigned by performing X-ray crystallographic analysis. UV-vis absorption, photoluminescence (PL), and aggregation-induced emission (AIE) were studied for the resulting multilayer folding products.
