Cyclocondensation reaction of 1,2-diamino-4-methylbenzene andp-substituted acetophenones
1993
1,2-Diamino-4-methylbenzene 1 reacts in the presence of sulphuric acid with 4-substituted acetophenones 2a-e yielding 2,4-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-2,8-dimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines 3a-e and as minor component 2,4-diaryl-2,3-dihydro-2,7-dimethyl-1H-1,5-benzodiazepines 4a-e. The ratio 3:4 is in the range of 7:3. The structure determination of the regioisomers was performed by NOE measurements.
Chemoenzymatische „Chiral-Pool”-Synthese von (+)-exo-Brevicomin aus Kohlenhydraten mit Fructose-1,6-diphosphat-Aldolase
1990
Chemoenzymatic “Chiral-Pool” Synthesis of (+)-exo-Brevicomin from Carbohydrates Using Fructose 1,6-Diphosphate Aldolase Fructose-1,6-diphosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.13) catalyzes the stereospecific aldol reaction between 1,3-dihydroxyacetone phosphate (4) and 5-oxohexanal (3) or its 5-dithiane-protected analog 8. The products of the aldol reactions are dephosphorylated with acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2). Whereas the aldol adduct of 3 cyclizes spontaneously to give the bicyclic brevicomin precursor 3, the adduct of 8 first has to be deprotected with sulfuryl chloride and wet silica gel. The resulting bicyclic α-hydroxy ketone 3 is reduced with LiAlH4 to form the 1,2-diol 14 which is then deox…

2010
The synthesis of polybrominated tetrathiafulvalenes (TTF-Brn, 2-4) containing 2-4 bromine atoms via phosphite-mediated cross-coupling of bromo-substituted 1,3-dithiole-2-thiones and 1,3-dithiole-2-ones is reported. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
Stereoselective synthesis of polyoxygenated atisane-type diterpenoids
2001
Abstract A new stereoselective approach to polyoxygenated atisane-type diterpenes starting from (S)-(+)-carvone is described. The key steps involve an intramolecular Diels–Alder reaction, an unusual intramolecular diazo ketone cyclopropanation of an unsaturated ketone, and a regioselective endocyclic cleavage of a cyclopropyl carbinyl radical as key synthetic steps. The synthesis of the bioactive polyoxygenated atisanes atis-16(17)-en-3,14-dione ( 2 ) and 3R-hydroxy-atis-16(17)-en-2,14-dione ( 3 ) following this approach is presented.
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of Functionalized Indoles with an α-Stereogenic Ketone Moiety Through an Enantioselective Friedel-Crafts Alkylation wi…
2010
Chiral complexes of BINOL-based ligands with hafnium tert-butoxide catalyze the enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with (E)-1,4-diaryl-2-butene-1,4-diones at room temperature, with good yields and ee up to 94%. Hafnium(IV) was found to be a more effective Lewis acid than other frequently used metal ions such as titanium(IV) or zirconium(IV). Unlike the enantioselective Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with α,β-unsaturated compounds where the stereogenic center is generated in the β-position to a carbonyl group, the Friedel-Crafts alkylation with 2-butene-1,4-diones described here generates an α-stereogenic center with respect to one of the carbonyl groups. This can be…
Novel prolinamide-supported polystyrene as highly stereoselective and recyclable organocatalyst for the aldol reaction
2008
A new prolinamide derivative anchored to a polystyrene support has been straightforwardly prepared and employed as heterogeneous catalyst in the direct asymmetric aldol reaction with good results in terms of yield and stereoselectivity. The optimal reaction conditions were found when a 1:2 (v/v) water/chloroform mixture was used. This mixture was the best compromise between the good swelling properties of chloroform and the formation of a concentrated organic phase due to the presence of water. Noticeably, the enantioselectivities obtained employing acetone as ketone were, to the best of our knowledge, the highest achieved with a supported proline derivative. This catalyst can be easily rec…
Highly Diastereoselective Arylation of (S)-Mandelic Acid Enolate: Enantioselective Synthesis of Substituted (R)-3-Hydroxy-3-phenyloxindoles and (R)-B…
2005
An easy access to substituted (R)-3-hydroxy-3-phenyloxindoles, (R)-benzylic acids, and benzophenones is described. The reaction of the lithium enolate of the (2S,5S)-cis-1,3-dioxolan-4-one derived from optically active (S)-mandelic acid and pivalaldehyde with several o- and p-halonitrobenzenes proceeds readily to give the corresponding arylation products in good yields and diastereoselectivities. The reduction of the nitro group with Zn/HCl/EtOH in the o-nitro arylation products with concomitant intramolecular aminolysis of the dioxolanone moiety leads directly to enantiomerically pure (R)-3-hydroxy-3-phenyloxindoles. On the other hand the basic hydrolysis of the dioxolanone moiety in all t…
The construction of quaternary stereocenters by the Henry reaction: circumventing the usual reactivity of substituted glyoxals.
2011
The enantioselective Henry reaction between alkyl- and arylglyoxal hydrates and nitromethane catalyzed by Cu(II)-iminopyridine complexes takes place regioselectively on the ketone carbonyl group to give chiral tertiary nitroaldols with high functional group density and enantiomeric excesses of up to 96 %. Both aromatic and aliphatic glyoxals are suitable substrates for this reaction.
Polystyrene-supported proline as recyclable catalyst in the Baylis–Hillman reaction of arylaldehydes and methyl or ethyl vinyl ketone
2008
Abstract Polystyrene-supported proline has been used as co-organocatalyst (10 mol%) with imidazole (10 mol%) in the Baylis–Hillman reaction between methyl or ethyl vinyl ketone and arylaldehydes. Recycling studies showed that the proline resin can be used up to five cycles with high isolated yields. This study represents the first example of supported proline as heterogeneous catalyst in the above reaction and broaden the scope of this catalytic material.
First Evidence of Proline Acting as a Bifunctional Catalyst in the Baylis–Hillman Reaction Between Alkyl Vinyl Ketones and Aryl Aldehydes
2008
Proline in the presence of sodium hydrogen carbonate has been found to be an effective catalyst for the Baylis–Hillman reaction between methyl or ethyl vinyl ketone and aryl aldehydes. Screening of several amine catalysts showed that an ionizable carboxylic function directly linked to the secondary amine catalyst plays an important role in the synthesis of the desired product in good yield. The data obtained has allowed us to suggest, for the first time, that proline, sarcosine, pipecolinic acid and homoproline may act as bifunctional catalysts via a bicyclic enaminolactone species as intermediate. Quantum-mechanical calculations (PM3/COSMO and ab initio 3-21G/COSMO) support this mechanism …
