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…
Synthesis and Oxidant Properties of Phase 1 Benzepine N-Oxides of Common Antipsychotic Drugs
2013
There is increasing evidence that cell constituents are oxidized by widely used antipsychotic drugs but until now the underlying chemistry has remained unclear. It is well known that such drugs readily undergo N-oxidation as a first key metabolic step. To gain insight into the problem, the tertiary phase 1 N-oxides of clozapine, olanzapine, quetiapine, and zotepine were synthesized, together with the N,S-dioxides of quetiapine and zotepine. These N-oxides were then subjected to well-established chemical transformations to test their oxidant properties in group VIII transition-metal-catalyzed reactions. In the osmium tetroxide catalyzed dihydroxylation of styrene or cinnamyl alcohol and in …
Stereoselective synthesis of the published structure of synargentolide A and of one of its stereoisomers
2005
A stereoselective synthesis is described of the structure published for the naturally occurring synargentolide A, an α,β-unsaturated lactone. The key steps of the synthesis were a Brown´s asymmetric allylation and a ring closing metathesis. The spectroscopic data of the synthetic product were very close to those of the natural product but did not exactly match them. An epimer of the published structure was then synthesized according to a similar strategy. Again, the data of the synthetic product did not match those reported for the natural product. It is thus likely that the actual structure of synargentolide A differs from the published one in more than mere stereochemical aspects. Marco V…
Polyhydroxylated indolizidine alkaloids-synthesis of dideoxycastanospermine
2009
The key transformation developed in this work is the anti-Kishi selective dihydroxylation, which proceeds by way of intramolecular participation of the nitrogen protecting group to furnish the desired stereochemistry required for castanospermine like structures. In this paper, we completed a first syn-thesis of a novel dideoxycastanospermine 6. Peer reviewed
Synthesis of novel functionalized cispentacins through C–C oxidative cleavage of diendo-norbornene β-amino acid
2013
Difunctionalized cispentacin derivatives with two new stereogenic centres have been synthesized from a diendo-norbornene β-amino acid in a stereocontrolled route, involving C–C double bond functionalization by dihydroxylation, followed by oxidative ring cleavage and transformation of the dialdehyde intermediates through a Wittig reaction.
Steroidal saponins from Dioscorea preussii.
2014
Abstract Three new steroidal saponins, named diospreussinosides A–C (1–3), along with two known ones (4, 5) were isolated from rhizomes of Dioscorea preussii. Their structures were elucidated mainly by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopic analysis and mass spectrometry as (25S)-17α,25-dihydroxyspirost-5-en-3β-yl-O-α- l -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-α- l -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-β- d -glucopyranoside (1), (25S)-17α,25-dihydroxyspirost-5-en-3β-yl-O-α- l -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-α- l -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-[α- l -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 2)]-β- d -glucopyranoside (2), and (24S,25R)-17α,24,25-trihydroxyspirost-5-en-3β-yl-O-α- l -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-α- l -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → 4)-[α- l -rhamnopyranosyl-(1 → …
Stereoselective Access to Fluorinated and Non-fluorinated Quaternary Piperidines: Synthesis of Pipecolic Acid and Iminosugar Derivatives
2012
The preparation of optically pure quaternary piperidines, both fluorinated and non-fluorinated, has been achieved from a chiral imino lactone derived from (R)-phenylglycinol. In the case of the fluorinated derivatives, the addition of (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (TMSCF(3)) followed by iodoamination and migration of the CF(3) group allowed access to four derivatives of α-(trifluoromethyl)pipecolic acid. A theoretical study of the CF(3)-group rearrangement has been carried out to help establish the reaction mechanism of this uncommon transformation. Moreover, a route to trifluoromethyl-substituted iminosugars was also developed through the diastereoselective dihydroxylation of suitable s…
