Synthesis of Tetrasubstituted 4,4'-Biimidazoles
2012
Highly substituted 4,4'-biimidazoles were synthesized, in good to excellent yields, through a multicomponent imidazole ring synthesis by using imidazol-4-yl-ethane-1,2-diones as starting materials. The obtained compounds were preliminarily tested as chromogenic and fluorescent sensors for heavy metals.
Enantioselective synthesis of fluorinated alpha-amino acids and derivatives in combination with ring-closing metathesis: intramolecular pi-stacking i…
2001
[reaction: see text]. Hydride reduction of C=N bonds stereocontrolled by intramolecular pi-stacking interactions of 1-naphthylsulfinyl and N-aryl groups, nonoxidative Pummerer rearrangement, and ring-closing metathesis are efficiently combined in a highly stereoselective entry to enantiomerically pure cyclic and acyclic fluorinated beta-amino alcohols and alpha-amino acid derivatives, respectively.
Synthesis of 4(5)-phenacyl-imidazoles from isoxazole side-chain rearrangements
2010
A novel base-induced rearrangement of isoxazoles into imidazole derivatives is reported. In the isoxazole series, this represents the first example of a three-atom side-chain rearrangement involving a CNC sequence. The reactions are carried out under nitrogen and produced 2-aryl-4(5)-phenacyl-5(4)-phenyl-imidazoles in high yields. In the presence of oxygen, a cascade rearrangement-oxidation reaction sequence was observed and imidazole derivatives bearing an oxidized side-chain were isolated.
Experimental and DFT Studies on Competitive Heterocyclic Rearrangements. 3. A Cascade Isoxazole−1,2,4-Oxadiazole−Oxazole Rearrangement
2008
The thermal rearrangements of 3-acylamino-5-methylisoxazoles 1 have been investigated under basic and neutral conditions and interpreted with the support of computational data. The density functional theory (DFT) study on the competitive routes available for the base-catalyzed thermal rearrangement of isoxazoles 1 showed that the Boulton-Katritzky (BK) rearrangement, producing the less stable 3-acetonyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles 5, is a much more favored process than either the migration-nucleophilic attack-cyclization (MNAC) or the ring contraction-ring expansion (RCRE). In turn, an increase in reaction temperature will promote the MNAC of oxadiazoles 5, producing the more stable 2-acylaminooxazol…
Synthesis of toxyloxanthone B
2014
A synthesis of the naturally occurring xanthone toxyloxanthone B is described, in which the key step is the regioselective addition of a methyl salicylate to a substituted benzyne, followed by cyclization of the intermediate aryl anion to form the xanthone, the regiochemistry of the aryne addition being confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Subsequent introduction of the pyran ring by [3,3]-rearrangement and deprotection completed the synthesis.
Synthesis of alkaloids by Stevens rearrangement of nitrile-stabilized ammonium ylides: (±)-laudanosine, (±)-laudanidine, (±)-armepavine, (±)-7-methox…
2013
The Stevens rearrangement of nitrile-stabilized ammonium ylides in conjunction with the reductive removal of the nitrile function permits the facile construction of α-branched amines from α-aminonitriles. We employed this reaction sequence for the preparation of (±)-laudanosine, (±)-laudanidine and (±)-armepavine, (±)-7-methoxycryptopleurine, and (±)-xylopinine from two closely related and readily accessible bicyclic α-aminonitriles. The final products were obtained in high to almost quantitative yields (71–98%) from the quaternary ammonium salts obtained by N-alkylation of these starting materials.
Synthesis of fluorinated 1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-ones through ANRORC rearrangement of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles
2009
Abstract The reaction of 3-ethoxycarbonyl-5-perfluoroalkyl-1,2,4-oxadiazoles with hydroxylamines has been investigated, evidencing the possibility of competitive reaction paths. Nucleophilic addition of hydroxylamine to the electrophilic C(5) of the 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring, followed by ring-opening and ring-closure with enlargement, leads to high yield and in very mild experimental conditions to the formation of 5-hydroxyamino-3-perfluoroalkyl-6 H -1,2,4-oxadiazin-6-ones, one of these presenting water gelation ability. In turn, reactions with N -methylhydroxylamine lead the exclusive formation of 4-perfluoroacylamino-2-methyl-2 H -1,2,5-oxadiazol-3-ones through the well known Boulton–Katritzk…
Looking for a new panacea in ALK-rearranged NSCLC: may be Ceritinib?
2014
Abstract: In the past decade, the advent of targeted therapy led to a silent revolution in the war against lung cancer and a significant evolution on the concept of Phase I clinical trials design. Thanks to the specificity of their target, the new drugs have radically changed NSCLC treatment, leading to the development of personalized strategies. The accelerated approval of the first ALK-inhibitor, Crizotinib and more recently Ceritinib, without a Phase III randomized, clinical trial, has been an amazing success story in lung cancer research, marking the beginning of a new decade of targeted drugs development, characterized by modern, biomarker-driven, early clinical trial design and shorte…
On the Rearrangement in Dioxane/Water of (Z)-Arylhydrazones of 5-Amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole into (2-Aryl-5-phenyl-2H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)ureas: …
2006
We have recently evidenced an interesting differential behavior in the reactivity in dioxane/water between the (Z)-2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone (1a) and the (Z)-phenylhydrazone (1b) of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4- oxadiazole. The former rearranges into the relevant triazole 2a only at pS+ > 4.5 while undergoing hydrolysis at high proton concentration (pS+ < 3.5); on the contrary, the latter rearranges into 2b in the whole pS+ range examined (0.1 e pS+ e 14.9). Thus, for a deeper understanding of these differences we have now collected kinetic data on the rearrangement in dioxane/water of a series of 3- or 4-substituted (Z)-phenylhydrazones (1c-l) of 5-amino-3-benzoyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole in a wide ra…
Stereoselective synthesis and application of tridentate aminodiols derived from (+)-pulegone
2016
Abstract A library of tridentate aminodiols, derived from naturally occurring (R)-(+)-pulegone, was synthesized and applied as chiral catalysts in the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The reduction of pulegone furnished pulegol, which was transformed into allylic trichloroacetamide via Overman rearrangement of the corresponding trichloroacetimidate. The protected enamine was subjected to dihydroxylation with OsO4/NMO system resulting in a 1:1 mixture of (1R,2R,4R)- and (1S,2S,4R)-aminodiol diastereomers. After the removal of the trichloroacetyl protecting groups, the obtained primary aminodiols were transformed into secondary ones. The regioselectivity of the ring closure of the N-b…
