First Fluorous Synthesis of Fluorinated Uracils

2006

This paper describes a novel fluorous synthesis of fluorinated uracils 4. In this new protocol, fluorous alcohols 1, which are used as fluorous tags, are acetylated to yield acetates 2, which in turn are treated with a base to form their enolates. These are then reacted with fluorinated nitriles to furnish tagged β-enamino esters 3. Although this condensation step had been performed easily in previous solution and solid-phase syntheses, it proved to be very elusive in the fluorous version. Meticulous control of the reaction conditions was thus essential in order to achieve satisfactory yields of β-enamino esters 3. The final treatment of compounds 3 with isocyanates or isothiocyanates effic…

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Fluorinated and Non-Fluorinated Bicyclic Amidines Through Ring-Closing Metathesis.

2012

Condensation of unsaturated esters (I) and (VII) with 1,2-diamines proceeds in the presence of trimethylaluminum providing imidazolines (III) and (VIII) which are further allylated giving suitable dienes (V) and (IX).

Synthesis of fluorinated allylic amines: Reaction of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfones and sulfoxides with fluorinated imines

2007

A new synthesis of fluorinated allylamines through the reaction of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfones and sulfoxides (as vinyl anion equivalents) with imines and imino esters has been described. The process includes a TBAF-mediated fragmentation of 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl sulfones to afford the desired allylic amines. When the reaction is performed with the corresponding sulfoxides, the fragmentation takes place under the addition conditions, affording the final products in a single step. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Design, Synthesis, and Biological Evaluation of Novel Fluorinated Ethanolamines

2011

The preparation of novel fluorinated allylamines and their use as key fragments for the stereoselective synthesis of hydroxyethyl secondary amine (HEA)-type peptidomimetics is described. Our strategy employs chiral sulfinyl imines as synthesis intermediates, by treatment of hemiaminal precursors with two equivalents of vinylmagnesium bromide. The subsequent oxidation of the allylic amines to the corresponding epoxides was achieved by treatment with methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane. Finally, epoxide ring opening with a range of nitrogen nucleophiles provided a library of HEA-derived peptidomimetics with a phenyldifluoromethylene moiety. The biological evaluation of these derivatives revealed…

N-sulfinyl amines as a nitrogen source in the asymmetric intramolecular aza-Michael reaction: total synthesis of (-)-pinidinol.

2010

N-Sulfinyl amines have been successfully employed as nitrogen nucleophiles for the asymmetric intramolecular aza-Michael reaction. The synthetic strategy involves a cross-metathesis reaction followed by the Michael-type cyclization, either in a base-catalyzed two-step procedure or in a tandem fashion. The developed methodology allows access to chiral substituted pyrrolidines and piperidines bearing one or two stereocenters and it has been applied to the synthesis of the piperidine alkaloid (-)-pinidinol.

Organocatalytic enantioselective synthesis of quinolizidine alkaloids (+)-myrtine, (-)-lupinine, and (+)-epiepiquinamide

2011

The organocatalytic synthesis of quinolizidine alkaloids (+)-myrtine, (-)-lupinine, and (+)-epiepiquinamide is described. It involved, as the key step, an enantioselective intramolecular aza-Michael reaction (IMAMR) catalyzed by Jorgensen catalyst I, affording the common precursor with high enantioselectivity. This compound was subsequently transformed into the three alkaloids in a highly diastereoselective manner. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
