We describe a new chiral tubule-forming lipid in which the C-O-P phosphoryl linkage of the archetypal tubule-forming molecule, 1,2-bis(10,12-tricosadiynoyl)-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, "DC(8,9)PC", is replaced by a C-P linkage. Tubule formation with this phosphonate analogue proceeds under the same mild conditions as with DC(8,9)PC and produces similar yields, but synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering, atomic force microscopy, and optical microscopy show the new tubules to have diameters 1.94 times as great, to be significantly shorter, and to be thinner-walled. A significant portion of the enantiomerically pure chiral phosphonate precipitate is in the form of stable open helices, and these helices are divided almost evenly between left- and right-handed members.
Hydrolytic kinetic resolution of epoxides catalyzed by chromium(III)-endo, endo-2,5-diaminonorbornane-salen [Cr(III)-DIANANE-salen] complexes. Improved activity, low catalyst loading

The hydrolytic kinetic resolution (HKR) of terminal epoxides, using chiral chromium(III)-salen catalysts based on DIANANE (endo,endo-2,5-diaminonorbornane) , was studied. A broad substrate scope was found for the chromium(III)-DIANANE catalysts, and very low loadings (down to 0.05 mol%) were needed to achieve high enantiomeric purities of both the remaining epoxides and the product diols (up to >99% ee). Besides monosubstituted epoxides, 2-methyl-2-n-pentyloxirane, which is an example for 2,2-disubstituted epoxides, could be ring-opened in an asymmetric fashion with water in the presence of an electronically tuned chromium-(III)-DIANANE complex.
