The experimentally observed stereomutation of spiro-1,2-oxaphosphetanes is shown by DFT calculations to proceed through successive M(B2) or M(B4) and M(B3) mechanisms involving two, four, and three Berry pseudorotations at phosphorus, respectively. Oxaphosphetane decomposition takes place in a single step via a polar transition state. The calculated activation parameters for this reaction are in good agreement with those determined experimentally.

Stereomutations in silicate oligomerization: the role of steric hindrance and intramolecular hydrogen bonding.

Stereomutation has previously been explored in the literature with regard to the different mechanisms and activation energy barriers between different forms. However, the forces which govern stereomutations within the intermediate steps in chemical reactions have not been explored previously, a topic addressed in this article. The process of silicate oligomerization has been chosen in this study and it is demonstrated that steric hindrance of molecules and intramolecular hydrogen bonding govern the stereomutation of intermediate pentacoordinate silicon compounds in the silicate oligomerization process.

1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition through in situ generation of azomethine ylide provides a straightforward and critically important sustainable approach for access to diverse pyrrolidine chemical space. Herein, we developed a metal-free AcOH-activated 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition protocol that permits the synthesis of uncommon pyrrolidine cycloadducts with excellent diastereoselectivity. The challenging substrates of 3-formylchromone, glycine ester.

The mechanical bond has opened a new world for structural and dynamic stereochemistry, which is still largely underexplored and whose significance for various applications is becoming increasingly evident. We demonstrate that designed rearrangements involving both covalent and mechanical bonds can be integrated in [2]rotaxanes, leading to interesting consequences in terms of isomerization mechanisms. Two entirely distinct and concomitant stereomutations, pertaining to the same stereogenic element but involving different kinds of linkages within the molecule, are observed and are thoroughly characterized.

The synthesis of two series of N-annulated perylene bisimides (PBIs), compounds and , is reported, and their self-assembling features are thoroughly investigated by a complete set of spectroscopic measurements and theoretical calculations. The study corroborates the enormous influence that the distance between the PBI core and the peripheral groups exerts on the chiroptical properties and the supramolecular polymerization mechanism. Compounds , with the peripheral groups separated from the central PBI core by two methylenes and an ester group, form J-type supramolecular polymers in a cooperative manner but exhibit negligible chiroptical properties.

A series of tri- and tetrasubstituted spiro-oxaphosphetanes stabilized by -benzamide (BA) and -methyl -benzamide (MBA) ligands have been synthesized by the reaction of C,C-dilithiated phosphazenes with aldehydes and ketones. They include enantiopure products and the first example of an isolated oxaphosphetane having a phenyl substituent at C3 of the ring. Kinetic studies of their thermal decomposition showed that the process takes place irreversibly through a polar transition state (ρ = -0.
