Synthesis and properties of a photoaffinity labeling reagent for protoporphyrinogen oxidases, the target enzymes of diphenyl ether herbicides
1994
A diazoketone 3 has been synthesized in two steps from acifluorfen 1, a diphenyl ether herbicide. Like the parent compound 1, the diazoketone 3 is toxic to plant cells and inhibits protoporphyrinogen oxidase, the molecular target of diphenyl ether herbicides. On photolysis of 3 in methanol, the generated carbene mainly undergoes the Wolff rearrangement to a ketene which further adds methanol, but many other products are observed. A tritiated derivative of 3 has been prepared which is suitable for photoaffinity labeling experiments.
Preparation of 5-methyl-2-sulfanyl-7h-1,3,4-thiadiazolo[3,2-a]-pyrimidin-7-ones
2007
7H-1,3,4-Thiadiazolo[3,2-a]pyrimidin-7-ones can be prepared by the acylation of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazoles with diketene and subsequent ring closure (dehydration). Whereas arylthio substituents (SC6H5) can be introduced in 2-position by the replacement of Br, alkylthio groups (SC2H5) have to be already presentin the starting 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole. The ambident nucleophile 2-thiazolidinethione reacts in the Br substitution reaction on the N atom.
The inherent structural instability: concentration-dependent transformation of pyrogallarene to pyrogallarene lactones.
2011
Pyrogallarene shows concentration-dependent instability in dilute solutions resulting in elimination of two ketene molecules and formation of pyrogallarene lactones. This unexpected phenomenon, which is not observed with resorcinarenes, highlights the significance of the four hydroxyl groups at 2-position for the molecular characteristics of pyrogallarenes.
Unravelling the mechanism of the ketene-imine Staudinger reaction. An ELF quantum topological analysis
2015
The mechanism of the ketene-imine Staudinger (KI-S) reaction between t-butyl-cyano ketene and N-phenyl phenylimine has been studied using DFT methods at the MPWB1K/6-311G(d) computational level. The reaction takes place through a two-step mechanism: (i) the first step is the nucleophilic attack of the imine nitrogen lone pair on the central carbon of the ketene yielding a zwitterionic (ZW) intermediate; (ii) the second step, which is the rate- and stereoselectivity-determining step, is a ring-closure process achieved by a nucleophilic attack of the terminal carbon atom of the ketene on the imine carbon atom. Due to the unfeasibility of a cis/trans and an E/Z stereoisomerisation at the ZW in…
A theoretical study on NHC-catalysed enantioselective cycloaddition of ketenes and 3-aroylcoumarins: mechanism and enantioselectivity.
2018
NHC-catalysed enantioselective cycloaddition of ketenes to 3-aroylcoumarins to yield dihydrocoumarin-fused dihydropyranones has been investigated using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G* and MPWB1K/6-311G** computational levels. Two plausible mechanisms have been studied: the “ketene-first” mechanism A and the “coumarin-first” mechanism B. An analysis of the activation Gibbs free energies involved in the two competitive pathways makes it possible to rule out the pathway associated with the “coumarin-first” mechanism B. The first step of the “ketene-first” mechanism A is the formation of zwitterionic intermediate IN1-Zvia a nucleophilic attack of NHC 1 on ketene 2. A [4 + 2] cycloaddition throu…
Cycloadditionen von 2H ‐Benzo[ b ]thiet und Verbindungen mit kumulierten Doppelbindungen
1994
Cycloaddition Reactions of 2H-Benzo[b]thiete and Compounds with Cumulated Double Bonds o-Thiobenzoquinone methide (2), generated by thermal ring opening of 2H-benzo[b]thiete (1), reacts with allene 3, ketene imine 7, the carbodiimides 9a-c, and the N-sulfinylamines 11a-c in highly specific [8π + 2π] cycloaddition processes to form novel types of heterocyclic systems 4, 8, 10a-c, and 12a-c with exocyclic double bonds. The 1:1 adduct 4 can add a further molecule of allene to yield the spiro compounds 5 and 6.
Glycosylation-induced asymmetric synthesis: β-amino acid esters via Mannich reactions
2000
Abstract Activation of Schiff bases by N-glycosylation induces asymmetric Mannich reactions with O-silyl ketene acetals to give β-amino acid esters in good yields.
Photoinduced functionalization of diterpenes: transformation of the C-20 methyl of atractyligenin into a carbomethoxymethyl or carbamoylmethyl group
2003
Abstract Irradiation of the nor-diterpene atractyligenin 1a and of its methyl ester 1b at λ=254 nm in methanol or in methanol in the presence of nitrogen nucleophiles such as ammonia or methylamine gave, besides the decarboxylation product 2, the ester 3a or the amides 3b, 3c, respectively, providing the transformation of the C-20 angular methyl into a carbomethoxymethyl or carbamoylmethyl group. A photochemical pathway involves formation of C-19/C-20 bond in the excited state, followed by a collapse into a ketene intermediate which will capture the nucleophilic reagent.
A Decade of Advance in the Asymmetric Vinylogous Mannich Reaction
2016
When the principle of vinylogy is applied to imines as electrophiles, the so-called vinylogous Mannich reaction (VMR), γ-aminocarbonyl (such as butenolides) and β-aminocarbonyl compounds are generated in a very efficient manner. The asymmetric version of this vinylogous Mannich reaction gives access to highly functionalized chiral synthons, which are suitable for further transformations. The versatility of this methodology is exemplified with the synthesis of several alkaloids and natural products. 1 Introduction 2 Asymmetric Vinylogous Mannich Reactions (VMR) with 2-Silyloxyfurans and 2-Silyloxypyrroles 3 Asymmetric VMR with Acyclic Silyl Dienolates and Silyl Dienol Ketene Acetals 4 Asymm…
CuCl catalyzed radical cyclisation of N-alpha-perchloroacyl-ketene-N,S-acetals: a new way to prepare disubstituted maleic anhydrides
2012
The discovery that cycloalkanes can form thermomorphic systems with typical polar organic solvents has led to the development of less-polar electrolyte solutions. Their mixing and separation can be regulated reversibly at a moderate temperature range. The phase switching temperature can be controlled by changing the solvent compositions. While biphasic conditions are maintained below the phase switching temperature, conductive monophasic conditions as less-polar electrolyte solutions are obtained above the phase switching temperature. After the electrochemical transformations, biphasic conditions are reconstructed below the phase switching temperature, facilitating the separation of cycloal…
