The (�)-benzyl(methyl)(4-methylphenyl)(naphthalen-1-yl)arsonium cation has been synthesized and subsequently resolved by fractional crystallization of monohydrogen [R-(R*,R*)]-2,3-bis(benzoyloxy)- butanedioate salts. The separated diastereoisomers were converted into the corresponding optically active arsonium bromides by ion-exchange column chromatography. The absolute configuration of the arsonium cation exhibiting a positive rotation at 589 nm (sodium D line) has been established as (R) by single-crystal X-ray analysis of both the bromide and hexafluorophosphate salts. The arsonium bromide with [α]D + 54.8�(c, 0.62 in CH2Cl2) crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group P212121 (D24, No.19) with a 22.472(8), b 15.724(7), c 12.585(5) � and U 4447(3) �3. The corresponding hexafluorophosphate with [α]D + 19.3� (c, 0.5 in CH2Cl2) crystallizes in the same space group with a 23.56(2), b 16.40(1), c 13.12(1) � and U 5067(6) � 3. Benzylidene transfer to benzaldehyde from the arsonium ylide derived from either of the arsonium salts produced optically pure (–)-(S)-methyl(4-methylphenyl)(naphthalen-1-yl)arsine, [α]D - 115.9� (c, 0.593 in CHCl3), and partly resolved [R-(R*,R*)]-2,3-diphenyloxiran.

AbstractReaction of (η6-C6H5CH3)Mo(CO)3 with the easily accessible chiral chelate ligand P,P,Pʹ-tris- [(+)-9-phenyldeltacyclan-8-yl]-1,2-bis(phosphanyl)benzene P-P’ afforded the octahedral molybdenum carbonyl derivate (P-P’)Mo(CO)4 1 as a diastereomer mixture 1a (74%) and 1b (26%). Crystallization gave single crystals of (SP)-(P-P’)Mo(CO)4 1a. The X-ray structure analysis of compound 1a revealed the formation of an unusual triple-decker π-stack in the solid state.

The title spirocyclic dilactam (1S,7S)-7-methyl-6,9-diazatricyclo[6,3,0,01,6]tridecan-5,10-dione (I), a molecule designed to contain non-planar amide groups, has been synthesized from an optically active precursor of known absolute configuration. The relative and absolute configuration have been determined by X-ray diffraction. The conformation of the compound has been investigated by X-ray, 1H and 13C NMR, electronic and vibrational circular dichroism. The compound possesses moderately non-planar amide groups in the two rings of nonequal geometry. The electronic CD is dominated by inherent chirality of the amide chromophores. The dilactams I and II ((1S,6S)-6-methyl-5,8-diazatricyclo[6,3,0,01,5]undecan-4,9-dione – having five-membered rings) exhibit monosignate amide I VCD and strong VCD bands in the mid-ir region.

A number of adducts formed by reacting [NiX(η3-allyl)]2 complexes with optically active tert.- phosphines, in which optically active centres are found both at the phosphorus atom and in a substituent, have been isolated and their structures investigated in solution by NMR spectroscopy. The absolute configuration of the phosphine in [NiCl{Pm enthyl(Me)But}(η3-C3H5)] has been determ ined by X-ray crystallography. The relevance of the results to the nickel-catalyzed asymmetric codimerisation of alkenes is discussed.
