Derivatives of (-)-Isosteviol with Expanded Ring D and Various Oxygen Functionalities

2012

(–)-Isosteviol is a unique ex-chiral-pool building block that is readily available. Both functional groups are aligned in a concave manner. The methyl moiety on the backbone also points in this direction, creating a strong asymmetric environment close to these functional groups. The slightly divergent orientation of the keto and carboxy functions limits its use in the construction of supramolecular architectures as optically pure divalent building blocks. By selective transformations, ring D of (–)-isosteviol can be expanded and equipped with oxygen-containing functionalities, providing a variety of useful and rigid building blocks with defined stereochemistry.

The Synthesis of Bioactive Sesquiterpenes from Santonin

2000

Abstract This article reviews the literature published in the last decade dealing with the transformation of α-santonin into bioactive or potentially bioactive sesquiterpenes. A number of syntheses starting from 8α-hydroxysantonin (artemisin) have also been included. Special emphasis has been placed on synthesized products that show biological activity. Major advances in this field include the application of new reagents and methodologies for the structural modification of the santonin skeleton and functionality, and its transformation into other sesquiterpenes, especially sesquiterpene lactones. The review has been organised into five parts: 1. Introduction: An overview of the structure an…

Quinonoid π-extended tetrathiafulvalenes (TTFs)

2001

Publisher Summary Tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) is a fascinating planar πelectron-donor molecule with a broad range of potential applications. TTF and its derivatives play an important role in the field of organic conductors forming charge-transfer (CT) complexes and radical cation salts (Bechgaard salts) with a huge variety of electron-acceptor molecules and anions in the search for electrically conducting and superconducting materials. The chapter focuses on highly π-extended electron donors with p-quinodimethane structures as interesting precursors of materials with non-conventional properties. The first dimeric examples of π-extended TTF derivatives connected through an oxygen atom are also …

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Plagiochiline N from Santonin.

2010

This article reports the transformation of O-acetylisophotosantonin, obtained by photochemical rearrangement of santonin, into plagiochiline N, an ent-2,3-secoaromadendrane isolated from Plagiochila ovalifolia. The synthesis was carried out in a sequence involving as the key steps (a) the substitution of the lactone moiety by a gem-dimethylcyclopropane ring through a synthetic intermediate having a C(6)-C(7) double bond and (b) the ozonolysis of the C(2)-C(3) bond followed by cyclization to the dihydropyran ring characteristic of plagiochiline N. Spectroscopic data of the synthetic product fully coincided with the reported data for the natural product.

Cinnamic acid moieties were incorporated into amphiphilic compounds containing one and two alkyl chains. These lipid-like compounds with photoreactive units undergo self-organization to form monolayers at the gas-water interface and bilayer structures (vesicles) in aqueous solutions. The photoreaction of the cinnamic acid moiety induced by 254 nm UV light was investigated in the crystalline state, in monolayers, in vesicles and in solution in organic solvents. The single-chain amphiphiles undergo dimerization to yield photoproducts with twice the molecular weight of the corresponding monomers in organized systems. The photoreaction of amphiphiles containing two cinnamic acid groups occurs v…

FeCl3·6H2O-catalyzed Mukaiyama-aldol type reactions of enolizable aldehydes and acetals.

2014

Mukaiyama-aldol type reactions of acetals derived from enolizable aldehydes with FeCl3·6H2O, an eco-friendly, low-cost, and stable catalyst, lead to β-methoxycarbonyl compounds with nearly quantitative yields. The methodology is extended to the parent aldehydes as starting materials, leading to the corresponding aldols with lower yields, but efficiently. Different alkyl and aryl substituted acetals and aldehydes have been tested in the reaction with linear and cyclic silyl enol ethers. Reactions are carried out in an open air atmosphere, and additives are not required. Acetals can be considered activating groups of the carbonyl moiety rather than a protecting group in this type of FeCl3·6H2…

<title>Optically induced switching of dicyclohexylamino substituted azobenzene derivatives in thin ordered films</title>

2005

During the last years, there has been an increasing interest in the photoinduced switching effects. Among the objects of concern azobenzene derivatives, isomerizing under UV and visible light, occupy a prominent position. To understand the photoresponse of these materials in the condensed phase, their spectroscopic and electrical properties are studied. It is shown that the photoresponse depends on the orientation of the molecules and their packing. A number of novel azobenzene derivatives containing a N,N-dicyclohexyl sulfonamide moiety is synthesized. The derivatives differ in the length of alkyl chains between the azobenzene moiety and SH or COOH groups. The morphology and the photoinduc…

Oxidative halogenation of substituted pyrroles with Cu(II). PartIV.Bromination of 2-(2′-hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrole. A new synthesis of bioactive analogs …

1994

The selective bromination with copper(II) bromide of the pyrrole ring in 2-(2'-hydroxybenzoyl)pyrrole (II) in the heterogeneous phase is des- cribed giving in almost quantitative yield the 4,5-dibromo derivative (VI). The subsequent introduction of halogen into the phenol moiety was observed when the reaction was perfomed in the homogeneous phase with an excess of halogenating agent. The pentabromo derivative (IX), a com- pound very active against Staphylococcus aureus (mic=17 nmoles per dm -3 ), was obtained by exhaustive bromination of the title compound. Poor yields of chloro derivatives of (II) were obtained by reaction of the parent compound with copper(II) chloride

Die 2-(Triphenylphosphonio)isopropyloxycarbonyl-(Ppoc-)-Gruppe und am Phosphoniumzentrum modizifierte analoge Reste als Aminoschutzgruppen bei der Pe…

1985

Die Einfuhrung in Aminosauren, die Stabilitat bei Peptidsynthesen und die selektive Abspaltung der 2-(Triphenylphosphonio)isopropyloxycarbonyl-(Ppoc-)-Aminoschutzgruppe sowie ihrer Varianten mit (Methyl)(diphenyl)phosphonium- und (Dimethyl)(phenyl)phosphoniumkopfen werden beschrieben. Der Ppoc-Rest ist in etwa um den Faktor 4 basenstabiler als der entsprechende 2-(Triphenylphosphonio)ethoxycarbonyl-(Peoc-)Rest. Er kann dennoch bereits bei pH = 8 in wasrig-methanolischer Hydrogencarbonatlosung von der blockierten Aminofunktion abgelost werden. Im Gegensatz zur Peoc-Abspaltung treten dabei keine storenden Nebenreaktionen des entstehenden Propenylphosphoniumsalzes mit der freigesetzten Aminofu…

Crystal structure of diethyl (E)-2-[(benzofuran-2-yl)methylidene]succinate

2015

The title compound, C17H18O5, was synthesized by a base-free catalytic Wittig reaction. The molecule consists of a diethyl itaconate unit, which is connectedviathe C=C double bond to a benzofuran moiety. The benzofuran ring system (r.m.s. deviation = 0.007 Å) forms dihedral angles of 79.58 (4) and 12.12 (10)° with the mean planes through thecisandtransethoxycarbonyl groups, respectively. An intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bond involving the O atom of the benzofuran moiety is observed. In the crystal, molecules are linked into ribbons running parallel to thebaxis by C—H...O hydrogen bonds.
