Anti-Machiavel

(noun)

A 1740 essay by Frederick the Great consisting of a chapter-by-chapter rebuttal of The Prince, the 16th-century book by Niccolò Machiavelli, and Machiavellianism in general. Frederick's argument is essentially moral in nature. His own views appear to reflect a largely Enlightenment ideal of rational and benevolent statesmanship: the king, Frederick contends, is charged with maintaining the health and prosperity of his subjects.

  • 1:3-Diastereoselection in Reactions with Chiral Aldehydes

    • In this model the dipole of the polar Y substituent is oriented roughly anti to the carbonyl group, as shown at the lower left.
    • The anti-reactant isomer shown in the top equation adds with high diastereoselectivity favoring product isomer A.
    • This diastereomer may be designated 1,2-syn,1,3-anti with reference to the newly formed chiral center (red asterisk).
    • The R = tert-butyl enolate forms the 1,2-syn,1,3-anti-diastereomer C with high selectivity, but the R = methyl enolate is much less selective and actually favors the 1,2-anti,1,3-anti-diastereomer D when P = PMB.
    • The facial bias imposed on the aldehyde carbonyl group by a β-polar substituent may be seen in the proportions of diastereomers having 1,3-anti (β:δ-anti) configurations (e.g.
