Total Synthesis of Phenanthroindolizidine Alkaloids by Combining Iodoaminocyclization with Free Radical Cyclization
2016
A concise and modular synthesis of phenanthroindolizidine alkaloids was achieved by combining iodoaminocylization with a free radical cyclization approach. The route described allowed the preparation of (±)-tylophorine, (±)-antofine, and (±)-deoxypergularinine in six steps. When commercially available l-prolinol was used as a chiral building block, (S)-(+)-tylophorine was also synthesized in 49% yield and >99% ee over five linear steps.
Metal complexes of a novel heterocyclic benzimidazole ligand formed by rearrangement-cyclization of the corresponding Schiff base. Electrosynthesis, …
2018
The electrochemical oxidation of anodic metals (M = cobalt, nickel, copper, zinc and cadmium) in a solution of the ligand 1H-anthra[1,2-d]imidazol-6,11-dione-2-[2-hydroxyphenyl] [H2L] afforded homoleptic [ML] compounds. The addition to the electrochemical cell of coligands (L′) such as 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) allowed the synthesis, in one step, of heteroleptic [MLL′] compounds. The crystal structures of H2L (1), [CoL(MeOH)]2 (2), [CoL(phen)]2 (3), [NiL(bpy)]2 (4), [CuL(bpy)] (5), [CuL(phen)] (6) and [CdL(bpy)]2 (7) have been determined by X-ray diffraction techniques. The crystal structures of 2, 3, 4 and 7 consist of dimeric species in which both metallic atoms …
Influence of cyclization and acyl substitution on the inotropic effects of adenine nucleotides.
1973
This study was designed to further elucidate relevance and mechanism of the positive inotropic action of cyclic N6-2′-O-dibutyryl-AMP (DB-c-AMP). For this purpose the effects of cyclic N6-monobutyryl-AMP (N6-MB-c-AMP), noncyclic N6-2′-O-3′-O-tributyryl-5′-AMP (TB-AMP), c-AMP, adenosine and various adenine nucleotides (ATP, ADP, AMP) on myocardial contractile force (CF) were investigated and compared to that of DB-c-AMP. The experiments were performed on isolated, electrically driven (frequency 2 Hz) rat left auricles, i.e. on a preparation in which DB-c-AMP consistently produced positive inotropic effects. The following results were obtained: From the failure of non-cyclic TB-AMP to increas…
Regio- and Stereoselective Synthesis of Spiropyrrolizidines and Piperazines through Azomethine Ylide Cycloaddition Reaction.
2015
A series of original spiropyrrolizidine derivatives has been prepared by a one-pot three-component [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of (E)-3-arylidene-1-phenyl-pyrrolidine-2,5-diones, l-proline, and the cyclic ketones 1H-indole-2,3-dione (isatin), indenoquinoxaline-11-one and acenaphthenequinone. We disclose an unprecedented isomerization of some spiroadducts leading to a new family of spirooxindolepyrrolizidines. Furthermore, these cycloadducts underwent retro-1,3-dipolar cycloaddition yielding unexpected regioisomers. Upon treatment of the dipolarophiles with in situ generated azomethine ylides from l-proline or acenaphthenequinone, formation of spiroadducts and unusual polycyclic fused pip…
A modular "toolbox" approach to flexible branched multimacrocyclic hosts as precursors for multiply interlocked architectures.
2008
Tetralactam macrocycles can be functionalized by a variety of cross-coupling reactions. A modular “toolbox” strategy is presented that allows 1) several tetralactam macrocycles to be covalently connected with each other or with a central spacer, 2) the macrocycles to be substituted with or connected to different chromophores, and 3) metal-coordination sites to be attached to the macrocycles. With this approach a series of different oligo-macrocyclic hosts was obtained with great structural diversity and enormous potential for further functionalization. Rotaxanes made on the basis of these macrocycles have been synthesized to demonstrate their utility in building more complex supramolecular …
Total synthesis of two potent anti-inflammatory macrolactones of the oxacyclododecindione type
2015
An esterification/Friedel-Crafts-cyclization approach permitted the first successful synthetic entry into the oxacyclododecindione subclass of the dihydroxyphenylacetic acid lactone-type natural products. This route allowed the preparation of two highly active anti-inflammatory fungal secondary metabolites 14-deoxyoxacyclododecindione and 14-deoxy-4-dechlorooxacyclododecindione as well as their 14-desmethyl analogues.
Acid rearrangment of epoxy-germacranolides and absolute configuration of 1beta, 10alpha-epoxy-salonitenolide
2010
The acid-catalyzed cyclization of mono epoxides of cnicin acetonide (3) was investigated. Several 6,12-eudesmanolides were obtained, and their stereochemistry established by extensive spectroscopic analyses. Chemical correlations also led to the assignment of the absolute configuration of 1beta,10alpha-epoxy-salonitenolide (13), a previously isolated natural product. The cytotoxic activities of some compounds were determined against A549 and MCF-7 tumor cell lines. The esterified germacranolides 2-6 were selectively cytotoxic against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line.
Attempted synthesis of spongidines by a radical cascade terminating onto a pyridine ring.
2007
Mn(III)-based oxidative free-radical cyclization of an unsaturated beta-keto ester containing a pyridine ring as radical trap has been studied. This intramolecular reaction of nucleophilic carbon-centered radicals with the pyridine ring leads to the stereospecific construction of a tetracyclic compound in which five chiral centers are created in one pot. This synthetic approach represents the first attempt to prepare the anti-inflammatory pyridinium alkaloids spongidine A, B, and D.
Nanocatalysts for High Selectivity Enyne Cyclization: Oxidative Surface Reorganization of Gold Sub-2-nm Nanoparticle Networks
2021
International audience; Ultrasmall gold nanoparticles (NPs) stabilized in networks by polymantane ligands (diamondoids) were successfully used as precatalysts for highly selective heterogeneous gold-catalyzed dimethyl allyl(propargyl)malonate cyclization to 5-membered conjugated diene. Such reaction usually suffers from selectivity issues with homogeneous catalysts. This control over selectivity further opened the way to one-pot cascade reaction, as illustrated by the 1,6-enyne cycloisomerization–Diels–Alder reaction of dimethyl allyl propargyl malonate with maleic anhydride. The ability to assemble nanoparticles with controllable sizes and shapes within networks concerns research in sensor…
Synthesis and analysis of activity of a potential anti-melanoma prodrug with a hydrazine linker
2013
A potential anti-melanoma prodrug containing a phenolic activator, a hydrazine linker, and a nitrogen mustard effector - (N-{4-[bis-(2-chloroethyl)amino]benzoyl}-N'-(4-hydroxybenzyl)hydrazine) has been synthesized in seven steps. Spectrophotometric measurements of its oxidation by tyrosinase showed a rapid increase of absorbance at 337 nm. HPLC analysis demonstrated that two major products were formed. However, during the reaction one of the products was converted into the other. The stable product with a maximum of absorption at 337 nm was isolated and identified as 5,6-dihydroxy-1H-indazol-1-yl 4-[bis-(2-chloroethyl)amino]benzoate. It was formed by a cyclization of the enzymatically gener…
