高分子組込み型不斉触媒
Polymer-Immobilized Asymmetric Catalyst
伊津野 真一
Shinichi ITSUNO
<要旨>Quaternary ammonium salts of cinchona alkaloid show excellent catalytic activity in various asymmetric organic reactions. In order to immobilize these chiral catalysts in the main-chain of polymers, cinchona alkaloid dimers were polymerized with achiral comonomers. The cinchona alkaloid dimers were prepared by using the quinuclidine nitrogen atom (quaternization), the OH group (ether formation), and the vinyl group (thiol-ene reaction). These dimers were readily polymeried by the following methods. (1) Quaternization polymerization: the cinchona alkaloid dimer prepared through ether linkage was allowed to react with dihalide to result in the chiral polymer containing cinchona alkaloid ammonium salt. (2) Etherification polymerization: the quaternized dimer was allowed to react with dihalide under basic condition to yield the chiral polymer. (3) Ino-exchange polymerization: the polymerization reaction between the quaternized dimer and disodium disulfonate occurred to produce the chiral polymers. This polymerization was applied to the synthesis of another chiral polymeric catalyst containing MacMillan catalyst in the main-chain. These chiral polymers were successfully used as catalysts in asymmetric reactions including alkylation and Diels-Alder reactions.

Artificial Metalloenzymes
上野 隆史

<要旨> Design of artificial metalloenzymes has become an important topic in the fields of biopolymers, biological chemistry, and inorganic chemistry due to the potential applications of artificial metalloenzymes in nanoscience and biotechnology. One of the general methods used to produce artificial metalloenzymes involves non-natural metal cofactors within protein scaffolds. This method has been used in the construction of small artificial metalloproteins with high activity and selectivity. In recent years, the above-mentioned general strategy has been applied to functionalize protein assemblies. The development of artificial metalloenzymes with hierarchically-assembled proteins would enable us to provide powerful tools for industrial and biological applications. In this review, we discuss the most significant recent research in this field as well as future directions.

シクロデキストリンを触媒とする高分子合成
Preparation of Polymers by Using Cyclodextrins as Catalysts
原田 明・高島 義徳
Akira HARADA, Yoshinori TAKASHIMA
<要旨> Cyclodextrins(CDs)were found to initiate ring-opening polymerization of lactones selectively to produce polyesters in high yields, although lactones did not give any polymers under the same conditions without CDs. The lactones were activated in CD rings by inclusion. The products were found to be a polymer chain attached to the C2 hydroxyl group of a single glucopyranose unit of CD via an ester bond. The other free CDs include a growing polymer chain to support the polymerization. CD dimers were found to be much better catalysts for the polymerization of lactones, because one of the CD ring functions as a clamp as shown in DNA polymerases in the biological systems. This procedure provides a new environmentally benign approach to produce polyesters without using organic solvents and/or metal catalysts. The process might be used for the production of many kinds of polymers.

Z 選択的オレフィンメタセシス触媒とその応用
Z -Selective Olefin Metathesis Catalysts and Their Applications
遠藤 浩司・Robert H. Grubbs
Koji ENDO, Robert H. Grubbs
<要旨>Olefin metathesis is a convenient and powerful method for the construction of carbon–carbon double bonds. This useful methodology has developed at a fast pace due to the discovery of well-defined transition metal catalysts in the 1980s. Now various highly efficient catalysts are available and widely used in both academic laboratories and industrial processes. However, stereo-control of the product olefin has been an earnest wish of the chemists working on this field. Because of the thermodynamic nature of metathesis, most catalysts produce a higher proportion of the thermodynamically favored E olefin isomer. This fundamental aspect of olefin metathesis has limited its applications in some areas of chemistry. Herein we report a new class of ruthenium-based metathesis catalysts in which an N-heterocyclic carbene ligand is chelated to the metal center. These catalysts show remarkable selectivity for the formation of Z olefins during a wide variety of metathesis reactions. In addition, applications of these catalysts to organic synthesis and polymer synthesis are also presented.

Reason for Melittin

<要旨> The reason I chose Melittin as a model target peptide for plastic antibodies was not only a scientific one. I was looking for the most inexpensive target that would be captured by polymer nanoparticles via strong “non-specific” interactions.

Recent Trends of Gelators
英 謙二
Kenji HANABUSA

<要旨> Recent trends in studies on gelators are described. Gelators are low molecular weight compounds that can form physical gels in liquids. The formed gels show thermally reversible sol-to-gel phase transition. Driving forces of gelation are co-operating noncovalent interactions; for example hydrogen bonding, van der Waals interaction, π-π interaction, and electrostatic interaction. The hydrogelators containing Olsalazine and Taxol are reported as drug delivery agents. Hydrogelators consisting of D-amino acids are stable in vivo and show sustained release behavior. Hydrogelators as cell culture scaffold materials are mentioned. The cast films derived from gels are useful for sensing applications. Gelators that can detect TNT, TATP, and amines are introduced. Gelators that can form thixotropic gels are synthesized. Gelators prepared from oligothiophene and crown ether segments form thixotropic gels in the presence of bis-ammonium salts. Cyclic(dipeptide) derivatives are reported as hydrogelator forming thixotropic gels. New triggers that induce physical gelation are mentioned.
