The treatment of 1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-d-ribo-hexos-3-ulose with chloroform under basic conditions has yielded the normal 3-C-trichloromethyl-α-d-allofuranose derivative. Under the conditions of the modified Corey–Link reaction but with a nucleophile different from the usual azide, a range of α-substituted carboxylic acid esters (and one amide) has been obtained. A similar addition of bromoform to the ulose has formed the α-bromo methyl ester. Two attempts at forming an ‘inositol α-amino acid’ from a polyhydroxylated cyclohexanone failed. Single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are reported for (3S)-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methoxycarbonyl-3-S-phenyl-3-thio-α-d-ribo-hexose, (3S)-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-S-phenyl-3-C-(phenylthio)carbonyl-3-thio-α-d-ribo-hexose, 3-deoxy-1,2:5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-3-C-methoxycarbonyl-α-d-erythro-hex-3-enofuranose, 4,6-di-O-benzyl-2-C-trichloromethyl-scyllo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoformate, 2,2'-anhydro-4,6-di-O-benzyl-2-C-dichlorohydroxymethyl-scyllo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoformate, 1,3,4,5,6-penta-O-benzyl-2-C-trichloromethyl-myo-inositol, and 2-amino-1,3,4,5,6-penta-O-benzyl-2-C-cyano-2-deoxy-myo-inositol.

The relative configurations of two intermediates in the synthetic route to cryptosporiopsin are clarified through the structure of 3,5-dichloro-1,4-dihydroxy-2-methylcyclopent-2-ene-1-carboxylic acid methyl ester, which was determined by single crystal X-ray techniques. The crystal was monoclinic, space group P21/c, a = 7.352(1), b = 8.868 (3), c = 16.300(7) Å; β = 96.49(2)°. The structure was solved by direct methods and refined to a final R of 0.057.

The bis-oxime of acenaphthenequinone and the mono-oxime of benzil have been sulfonated by reaction with 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride and propylsulfonyl chloride. The four sulfonated oximes were characterised by X-ray single-crystal structure determinations. Some photochemical decompositions were studied using a 6-W 254-nm immersion well lamp in dichloromethane. The 4-methylbenzenesulfonate bis-oxime of acenaphthenequinone and the 4-methylbenzenesulfonate mono-oxime of benzil both give 4-methylbenzenesulfonic acid upon irradiation but not 4-methylbenzenesulfinic acid. Fragmentation pathways are discussed. The possible use of these compounds as photoacid generators in polymer resists and the role of secondary reactions to liberate acid is discussed.

Clavorubin (1,5,6,8-tetrahydroxy-3-methyl-9,10-dioxoanthracene-2-carboxylic acid) (1), previously known only from the ascomycetious rye fungus Claviceps purpurea (‘ergot’), has been isolated from the fruit bodies of two Australasian basidiomycetes belonging to the genus Cortinarius and characterized by spectroscopic and chemical methods. A single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of the methyl ester (4) of 6-O-methylclavorubin establishes unequivocally, for the first time, the structure of the natural product.

AbstractWe report the magneto-conductivity analysis of Bi2Se3 single crystal at different temperatures in a magnetic field range of ± 14 T. The single crystals are grown by the self-flux method and characterized through X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Raman Spectroscopy. The single crystals show magnetoresistance (MR%) of around 380% at a magnetic field of 14 T and a temperature of 5 K. The Hikami–Larkin–Nagaoka (HLN) equation has been used to fit the magneto-conductivity (MC) data. However, the HLN fitted curve deviates at higher magnetic fields above 1 T, suggesting that the role of surface-driven conductivity suppresses with an increasing magnetic field. This article proposes a speculative model comprising of surface-driven HLN and added quantum diffusive and bulk carriers-driven classical terms. The model successfully explains the MC of the Bi2Se3 single crystal at various temperatures (5–200 K) and applied magnetic fields (up to 14 T).

The 1 : 1 complexes of the substituted triphenylphosphine ligands mesityldiphenylphosphine and dimesitylphenylphosphine with copper(1) chloride, bromide and iodide have been the subject of single-crystal X-ray structure determinations at 295 K. All six complexes crystallize as air-stable dimeric molecules, [(PPh2Mes)CuX]2 and [ (PPhMes2)CUX]2 with each copper atom in a distorted trigonal PCuX2. coordination environment. Crystals of [(PPh2Mes)CuCl]2 (1) are monoclinic, P21/n, a 9.961(3), b 18.687(6), c 11.009(7) Ǻ, β 114.63(4)°; R was 0.049 for 2450 'observed' reflections.

[(PPhMes2)CuI]2.2MeCN (6) is orthorhombic, PP1nb, a 11.694(8), b 14.77(1), c 29.76(3) Ǻ; R was 0.049 for 3447 'observed' reflections. Cu-P bond lengths are: 2.196(2) A (1); 2.198(3) Ǻ (2); 2.222(5) and 2.226(5) Ǻ (3); 2.202(1) Ǻ (4); 2.197(3) A (5); 2.201(4) and 2.264(5) Ǻ (6).

A variety of approaches towards the synthesis of lincosamine, a derived portion of the antibiotic lincomycin , are reported. Initial approaches involved the intramolecular delivery of a nitrogen atom ( trichloroacetimidate , trichloroacetylcarbamate , carbamate, 2-amino-2- phenylacetate ) attached to O4 onto C6 of a 6,7-anhydrooctoside. Later approaches, albeit more direct but again largely unsuccessful, involved the Sharpless titanium(IV)-mediated nucleophilic opening of a suitable 6,7-anhydrooctose, and the Sharpless oxyamination and the aziridination of suitable octenoses . As an aid to the structure elucidation of several compounds encountered in this work, single-crystal X-ray structure determinations are reported for methyl 6,7-anhydro-2,3-di-O-benzyl-8-deoxy-α-D-threo-D-galacto-octopyranoside , methyl 6,7-anhydro-2,3-di-O-benzyl-8-deoxy-α-D-threo-D-gluco-octopyranoside and 7-azido-7-deoxy-1,2:3,4-di-O-isopropylidene-β-L-erythro-Dgalacto-octose.
