Synthesis and anti-HIV activity of 2,3-diaryl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-(thi)one derivatives.

2002

Several 2,3-diaryl-1,3-thiazolidine-4-thione derivatives and 2,3-diaryl-1,3-thiazolidin-4-ones bearing a methyl group at C-5 position have been synthesized and tested as anti-HIV agents. The results of the in vitro tests showed that some of them proved to be effective inhibitors of HIV-1 replication.

Diastereoselective synthesis of antiquorin and related polyoxygenated atisene-type diterpenes

2007

Abstract A diastereoselective approach to polyoxygenated atisene-type diterpenes starting from (S)-(+)-carvone is described. The key steps used in the preparation of the atisene framework are an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction, an intramolecular diazoketone cyclopropanation, an endocyclic cyclopropane ring cleavage and the regioselective reduction of an allylic bromide by a low-valent chromium species. The synthesis of natural atisanes antiquorin (1), atis-16-ene-3,14-dione (3), atis-16-ene-2,3,14-trione (8) and 3β-hydroxy-atis-16-ene-2,14-dione (9) following this approach is presented. Also described is the synthesis of 18-hydroxy-atis-16-ene-3,14-dione (5), the structure erroneously a…

New chiral α-aminophosphine oxides and sulfides: an unprecedented rhodium-catalyzed ligand epimerization

2001

International audience; New chiral α-aminophosphine oxide N,P(O) and sulfide N,P(S) ligands have been prepared in one-pot syntheses by addition of Ph2PH to (S)-PhCH[double bond, length half m-dash]NCH(Ph)CH3, followed by oxidation with O2 or S8. Crystallization from cold methanol leads to the isolation of an enantiomerically pure single N,P(O) diastereomer and to a 1 : 1 mixture of the two N,P(S) diastereomers. The coordination chemistry of these ligands with [RhCl(COD)]2 and [RhCl(CO)2]2 has been investigated under argon and syngas. At high temperatures, a P–C oxidative addition of the N,P(O) ligand followed by imine elimination leads to several hydrido rhodium species. The complexes conta…

Chiral Monofluorobenzyl Carbanions: Synthesis of Enantiopure β‐Fluorinated β‐Phenylethylamines

2011

The preparation of a stabilized monofluorobenzyl carbanion by means of a remote homochiral sulfinyl group and its completely stereoselective reactions with N-p-tolylsulfinylimines are described. The use of these reactions followed by the simultaneous removal of both chiral auxiliaries with tBuLi, which occurs without epimerization at the benzylic position, provides the quickest entry to enantiomerically pure β-fluorinated β-phenylethylamines.

An Efficient Stereoselective Synthesis of Stypodiol and Epistypodiol

1998

An efficient synthesis of stypodiol (1) and its epimer at C-14, epistypodiol (2), was accomplished starting from (S)-(+)-carvone (7). The synthesis of both epimeric compounds proceeds through common intermediates using an IMDA reaction, a sonochemical Barbier reaction, and an acid-catalyzed quinol−tertiary alcohol cyclization as key synthetic steps.

o-(Hydroxyalkyl)phenyl P-Chirogenic Phosphines as Functional Chiral Lewis Bases

2013

The stereoselective synthesis of P-chirogenic phosphines bearing an o-hydroxyalkyl chelating arm is described. The synthesis is based either on the hydroxyalkylation of P-chirogenic o-bromophenylphosphines (borane) or on their carbonatation and then reduction. The hydroxyalkylation with benzaldehyde or pivalaldehyde affords a mixture of epimers which are isolated by chromatography and characterized by their X-ray structures. Preliminary assays of free P-chirogenic o-(hydroxyalkyl)phenyl phosphines, as new functional Lewis bases in catalyzed asymmetric aza-MBH reaction, lead to β-aminoester derivatives with ee values up to 74%.

Biotransformation in vitro of the 22R and 22S epimers of budesonide by human liver, bronchus, colonic mucosa and skin.

2001

The pharmacological effects of glucocorticoids are greatly influenced by their pharmacokinetic properties. In the present report, the in vitro biotransformation of the 22R and 22S epimers of the topical steroid budesonide was studied in the S-9 fraction of human liver, bronchus, skin and colonic mucosa. The disappearance of unchanged epimers of budesonide was measured during 90 min of incubation by high performance liquid chromatography. The rate of disappearance was high in human liver while little biotransformation occurred in bronchial tissue and colonic mucosa, and none was detected in the skin. A marked decay of the initial concentration of unchanged budesonide epimers was noticed afte…

Comparison of epimeric methyl lithocholate and methyl iso-lithocholate molecules: single crystal X-ray structure of methyl lithocholate, ab initio HF…

2003

Abstract 13 C NMR chemical shifts have been measured and assigned for epimeric methyl 3α/β-hydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oates (methyl lithocholate [3α-OH epimer] and methyl iso-lithocholate [3β-OH epimer]). Their molecular dynamics simulations suggest that for both epimers there exists two predominant gas phase conformations, which have been further forwarded for ab initio/HF optimizations and DFT/GIAO based 13 C NMR chemical shift calculations. Excellent linear relationships have been observed between experimental and calculated 13 C NMR chemical shifts for both epimers. For methyl lithocholate (MeLC), the other minimum energy conformation equates very well with the single crystal X-ray structure …

Labdane Diterpenes from Stachys plumosa

2000

Three new labdane diterpenoids were isolated from the aerial parts of Stachys plumosa. The first two (1, 2) were the dextrorotatory enantiomers of the known 6-deoxyandalusol and 13-epijabugodiol. Structures were determined using NMR and MS techniques. The absolute stereochemistry of the third compound (3) was not experimentally proved.
