Solution-, solid-phase, and fluorous synthesis of beta,beta-difluorinated cyclic quaternary alpha-amino acid derivatives: a comparative study.
2008
The diastereoselective synthesis of cyclic beta,beta-difluorinated alpha-amino acid derivatives bearing a quaternary stereocenter is described. The process relies on the chemo- and diastereoselective addition of allylic organometallic reagents to fluorinated alpha-imino esters and a subsequent ring-closing metathesis reaction (RCM). Complete selectivity in the nucleophilic addition was achieved with (R)-phenylglycinol methyl ether as a chiral auxiliary. The resulting amino acids were introduced into peptide chains, which could facilitate the preparation of potentially bioactive dipeptide derivatives. In addition, the solution synthesis of these cyclic fluorinated alpha-amino acids was succe…
Asymmetric Allylation/Pauson-Khand Reaction: A Simple Entry to Polycyclic Amines. Application to the Synthesis of Aminosteroid Analogues
2014
Asymmetric allylation of o-iodoarylsulfinylimines has been achieved in high diastereoselectivities. The thus-obtained o-iodoarylhomoallylic sulfinamides participate in a subsequent Sonogashira coupling followed by a diastereoselective intramolecular Pauson-Khand reaction. In this way, tricyclic amines showing a unique benzo-fused indenyl backbone were obtained. The methodology has been applied to the synthesis of amino steroid analogues.

Tandem asymmetric Michael reaction-intramolecular Michael addition. An easy entry to chiral fluorinated 1,4-dihydropyridines.
2010
A novel one-pot tandem asymmetric Hantzsch-type process has been employed to generate fluorinated 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) as single diastereoisomers. It involves the condensation of (R)-(+)-allyl p-tolyl sulfoxide, fluorinated nitriles, and alkyl propiolates, giving access to a new family of enantiomerically pure fluorine-containing 1,4-DHPs.

Fluorinated Pyrazoles and Indazoles
2014
The synthesis of fluorine containing pyrazoles has been boosted in the past decades due to the interesting properties that confer these building blocks in pharmaceutical and agricultural active ingredients. There are two main methods for the synthesis of fluorine-containing organic compounds, namely, the direct replacement of an atom or functional group such as diazo, hydroxyl, halogen or hydrogen by fluorine, and the modification of fluorine-containing building blocks. In the case of fluorinated pyrazoles the latter approach is the most commonly applied. This chapter deals primarily with the pivotal procedures that allow the preparation of fluoro- and fluoroalkyl- pyrazoles. Their benzocon…
ChemInform Abstract: A General Overview of the Organocatalytic Intramolecular Aza-Michael Reaction
2015
The organocatalytic intramolecular aza-Michael reaction gives access to enantiomerically enriched nitrogen-containing heterocycles in a very simple manner. Enals, enones, conjugated esters and nitro olefins have been employed as Michael acceptors, while moderate nitrogen nucleophiles such as sulphonamides, carbamates and amides have been shown to be appropriate Michael donors in this type of reaction. Additionally, the process has been performed under both covalent and non-covalent catalysis, with diaryl prolinols, imidazolidinones, thioureas and chiral binol phosphoric acids being the most frequently used catalysts. The level of efficiency reached with this protocol is demonstrated by the …

Improved Regioselectivity in Pyrazole Formation through the Use of Fluorinated Alcohols as Solvents: Synthesis and Biological Activity of Fluorinated…
2008
The preparation of N-methylpyrazoles is usually accomplished through reaction of a suitable 1,3-diketone with methylhydrazine in ethanol as the solvent. This strategy, however, leads to the formation of regioisomeric mixtures of N-methylpyrazoles, which sometimes are difficult to separate. We have determined that the use of fluorinated alcohols such as 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol (TFE) and 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP) as solvents dramatically increases the regioselectivity in the pyrazole formation, and we have used this modification in a straightforward synthesis of fluorinated analogs of Tebufenpyrad with acaricide activity.

Highly enantioselective synthesis of fluorinated gamma-amino alcohols through proline-catalyzed cross-Mannich reaction.
2005
A new, simple route for the synthesis of fluorinated beta-alkyl gamma-amino alcohols in optically pure form in only two steps and featuring proline catalysis from inexpensive and readily available starting materials is described. The applied strategy allows for the introduction of diversity into both the beta-fluoroalkyl and alpha-alkyl groups of these compounds. [reaction: see text]
Synthesis of new fluorinated Tebufenpyrad analogs with acaricidal activity through regioselective pyrazole formation.
2008
In previous studies, our group has shown that the use of fluorinated alcohols such as trifluoroethanol (TFE) and hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) as solvents dramatically increases the regioselectivity in the pyrazole formation from 1,3-diketone with methylhydrazine. We have now applied this synthetic method to the preparation of new fluorinated pyrazoles, which have then been used as synthetic intermediates in the preparation of fluorinated analogs of Tebufenpyrad, a commercial acaricide. These compounds display a strong acaricidal activity that is either comparable to or better than that of the commercial compound.

ChemInform Abstract: Diastereodivergent Synthesis of Fluorinated Cyclic β3-Amino Acid Derivatives.
2016
The ability of 2-p-tolylbenzyl carbanions to behave as a source of chiral benzylic nucleophiles has been shown in its reaction with fluorinated imines. The process takes place with high levels of stereocontrol, rendering the corresponding amines as single diastereoisomers. Subsequent cross-metathesis followed by intramolecular aza-Michael reaction makes the synthesis of fluorinated homoproline derivatives bearing three stereogenic centers possible. Furthermore, the selectivity of the cyclization process can easily be tuned up in a diastereodivergent manner simply by changing the reaction conditions.
New approaches to the synthesis of organofluorine nitrogenated derivatives
2004
Fluorinated carboxylic acids are valuable building blocks for several types of organofluorine nitrogenated derivatives. In this review paper, several strategies that use these compounds as starting materials are described. First, fluorinated seven-membered cyclic β-amino esters can be diastereoselectively synthesized from these compounds with a ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction as the key step. The use of the RCM reaction in a different approach enables the preparation of fluorinated cyclic α-amino acid derivatives. Fluorinated carboxylic acids also constitute the starting material for the asymmetric synthesis of fluorinated allylic amines. Finally, a solution and solid-phase synthesis…

Diastereoselective Intramolecular Additions of Allyl- and Propargylsilanes to Iminium Ions: Synthesis of Cyclic and Bicyclic Quaternary Amino Acids
2010
Chiral imino lactones derived from (R)-phenylglycinol containing an allyl- or propargyltrimethylsilyl group in the side chain readily cyclized in the presence of acidic reagents to afford spirocyclic compounds with high diastereoselectivity. Removal of the chiral auxiliary produced 2-substituted 1-aminocycloalkanecarboxylic acids, whereas further cyclizations by means of metathesis or hydroamination reactions led to bicyclic derivatives of pipecolic acid and proline.

The ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions of dienylpyrazoles have been employed in the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and pyrazolo[1,5-a]azepine derivatives. Based on this approach, the diastereoselective synthesis of potential peptidomimetics containing four amino acid residues with the second (i+1) and third (i+2) fragments having been substituted by bicyclic frameworks is described.
