The quadridentate ligand, (2S,2'S)-1,1'-(ethane-1,2-diyl)bis(pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid) dihydrochloride (H2pren,2HCl), has been derived from (S)-proline. The preparations of the cobalt(III) complexes Na [Co(pren)(CO3)],3H2O, [CO(pren)(H2O)2] ClO4,- 2H2O and [Co(pren)(H2O)Cl],1�5H2O are described. All exist as cis-α geometrical isomers. 13C N.M.R. and absorption spectral measurements confirm the cis-α arrangement. The complex cis-α- [Co(pren)(H2O)Cl],1�5H2O rapidly aquates with retention of configuration. The compounds having actual or near C2 symmetry exhibit a strong negative c.d. band under the 1A1g → 1T1g cubic absorption band which is due to the 1A1 →1E tetragonal component, consistent with the Δ absolute configuration imposed by the (S) configuration of the asymmetric carbon atom in the (S)-proline moiety. The o.r.d. spectrum of cis-α-Na [Co(pren)CO3],3H2O in aqueous solution has a negative Cotton effect at low energy as expected for the Δ absolute configuration.

In concentrated hydrochloric acid at 100 �C, lasiocarpic acid is readily decomposed with formation principally of acetaldehyde, dimethylpyruvic acid, and α-keto-ββ-dimethyl-γ-valerolactone. Echimidinic acid is similarly and more rapidly decomposed while trachelanthic and heliotric acids are stable at 100 �C. In dilute hydrochloric acid, lasiocarpic acid is slowly converted into acetaldehyde, acetone, dimethylpyruvic acid, (+)-2-methoxy-4-methylpentan-3-one (IX), 2-methylpent-1-en-3-one (XI), and an unidentified compound. The isolation of IX shows that lasiocarpic and heliotric acids have the same absolute, configuration at the asymmetric carbon atom which bears the methoxyl group.


It is demonstrated that mevaldate reductase transfers hydrogen stereospecifically from the ‘Aʼ-side of NADH or NADPH to substrate. When 4 R -[ 3 H 1 ]NADH, or NADPH, is used for the reduction of mevaldate the resulting [5. 3 H 1 ]mevalonate is stereospecifically labelled at C-5 with an absolute configuration of R . Mevaldate reductase shows no stereospecificity for the asymmetric carbon atom, C-3, in mevaldate: the product of the reduction of 3 RS -mevaldate is 3 RS -mevalonate. 5 R -[5. 3 H 1 ]- and 5 R -[5-D 1 ]mevalonate have been prepared and used for the synthesis of 1 R -[1,5,9. 3 H 3 ]- and 1 R -[1,5,9-D 3 ]farnesyl pyrophosphate and squalene. It is shown that when squalene is synthesized from such farnesyl pyrophosphate all the isotopic label appears in the squalene without loss. The implications of the last observations are discussed in the light of previous results.

The reported enantioselective synthesis for the preparation of (+)-(2R,3R)-2-(4- hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-3-hydroxymethyl-1,4-benzodioxane-6-carbaldehyde, precursor for the stereoselective synthesis of bioactive flavanolignans, could not be reproduced. Thus, the target molecule was prepared via the synthesis and separation of diastereomeric O-glucosides. TDDFT-ECD calculations and the 1,4-benzodioxane helicity rule were utilized to determine the absolute configuration. ECD calculations also confirmed that the 1Lb Cotton effect is governed by the helicity of the heteroring, while the higher-energy ECD transitions reflect mainly the orientation of the equatorial C-2 aryl group.

Optical activity of the achiral cation [Co(NH3)6]3+ is induced both by (S)-AsnONa and (S)-GlnONa, as shown by a negative Cotton effect in the 1A1g → 1T1g transition region. An outer-sphere interaction by three-point attachment of the amides can explain the fact that substitution reaction of [Co(NH3)6]3+ with the mentioned amides in an alkaline medium is unusually slow as compared with other amino acids.

The europium (III) complex of coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (C3CA) has been prepared and characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, IR, and emission (photoluminescence and electrochemiluminescence) spectroscopy. The synthesised complex having a formula Eu was photophysically characterized in solution and in the solid state. Electrochemiluminescence, ECL, of the system containing the Eu(III)/C3CA complex was studied using an oxide-covered aluminium electrode. The goal of these studies was to show the possibility of the use of electrochemical excitation of the Eu(III) ion in aqueous solution for emission generation. The generated ECL emission was very weak, and therefore its measurements and spectral analysis were carried out with the use of cut-off filters method. The studies proved a predominate role of the ligand-to-metal energy transfer (LMET) in the generated ECL.
