Two sets of new diastereomeric 4-nonylphenol (NP) isomers [4-(3,4-dimethylheptan-4-yl)phenol (344NP, NP-J, L) and 4-(3,4-dimethylheptan-3-yl)phenol (343NP, NP-K, P)] were separated from a commercial NP mixture. The mixture of these diastereomers was synthesized at the same time by a single Friedel-Crafts reaction of 3,4-dimethyl-4-heptanol and phenol, and the mixture was separated into individual NPs by HPLC equipped with Hypercarb column. For the first time, in this study the stereostructure-estrogenic activity relationship of NP diastereomers was investigated. The NP isomers (NP-L and NP-P) having the beta-methyl group over the benzene ring were found to be 2-4 times more estrogenic than their diastereomers (NP-J and NP-K). In the case of the other set of diastereomer [4-(3,5-dimethylheptan-3-yl)phenol, (353NP, NP-E, G)] containing gamma-methyl group in the molecule, the gamma-methyl proton signal (delta 0.49) in the more estrogenic isomer (NP-G) also appeared in a higher field than the corresponding methyl signal (delta 0.76) of the less estrogenic isomer (NP-E).

The 5-(3-hydroxy)phenylmorphan structural class of compounds are unlike the classical morphinans, 4,5-epoxymorphinans, and 6,7-benzomorphans, in that they have an equatorially oriented aromatic ring rather than the axial orientation of that ring found in the classical opioids. This modified and simplified opioid-like structure has been shown to retain antinociceptive activity, depending on its stereochemistry and substituents, and some of them have been found to be much more potent than morphine. A simple C9-hydroxy-5-(3-hydroxy)phenylmorphan enantiomer was found to be about 500 times more potent than morphine in vivo.

Four sets of diastereomeric C9-alkenyl 5-phenylmorphans, varying in the length of the C9-alkenyl chain, were designed to examine the effect of these spatially distinct ligands on opioid receptors. Functional activity was obtained by forskolin-induced cAMP accumulation assays and several compounds were examined in the [S]GTPgS assay and in an assay for respiratory depression. In each of the four sets, similarities and differences were observed dependent on the length of their C9-alkenyl chain and, most importantly, their stereochemistry.

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations of δ( C) and δ( H) chemical shifts and J( COO H) coupling constants of three model hydroperoxides of the naturally occurring cis-11-OOH and trans-9-OOH isomers of oleate and 9-cis, 11-trans-16-OOH endo hydroperoxide of methyl linolenate are reported. The computational δ(OOH) for various functionals and basis sets were found to be nearly identical for the cis/trans geometric isomers. The chemical shifts of the methine CHOOH protons and carbons, on the contrary, are highly diagnostic for the identification of cis/trans geometric isomerism.

A new, dynamic diastereomeric crystallization method has been developed, in which the mother liquors are continuously separated, racemized over a fixed-bed catalyst, and recirculated to the crystallizer in a resolution-racemization-recycle (R) process. Separating the racemization from crystallization overcomes problems of using catalysts , that suffer conflicting sets of conditions, inhibition, and separation. Continuous racemization has been achieved through the covalent attachment of [IrCp*I] SCRAM catalyst to Wang resin solid support to give a fixed-bed catalyst.
