Density functional theory study of the 5-pyrrolidin-2-yltetrazole-catalyzed aldol reaction
2005
Abstract The replacement of the carboxylic acid functionality with a tetrazolic acid in the proline-catalyzed asymmetric aldol reaction between acetone and trimethylacetaldehyde has been studied using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G** computational level. For the C–C bond-formation step, four reactive channels corresponding to the syn and anti arrangement of the enamine and the re and si attack modes have been analyzed. The B3LYP/6-31G** results allowed us to explain the stereoselectivity and the increase in reactivity relative to the proline-catalyzed process in DMSO.
Reactivity of CuI and CuBr toward Dialkyl Sulfides RSR: From Discrete Molecular Cu I S and Cu I S Clusters to Luminescent Copper(I) Coordination Pol…
2015
The 1D coordination polymer (CP) [(Me2S)3{Cu2(μ-I)2}]n (1) is formed when CuI reacts with SMe2 in n-heptane, whereas in acetonitrile (MeCN), the reaction forms exclusively the 2D CP [(Me2S)3{Cu4(μ-I)4}]n (2) containing “flower-basket” Cu4I4 units. The reaction product of CuI with MeSEt is also solvent-dependent, where the 1D polymer [(MeSEt)2{Cu4(μ3-I)2(μ2-I)2}(MeCN)2]n (3) containing “stepped-cubane” Cu4I4 units is isolated in MeCN. In contrast, the reaction in n-heptane affords the 1D CP [(MeSEt)3{Cu4(μ3-I)4}]n (4) containing “closed-cubane” Cu4I4 clusters. The reaction of MeSPr with CuI provides the structurally related 1D CP [(MeSPr)3{Cu4(μ3-I)4}]n (5), for which the X-ray structure has…
Diastereoselective formation of highly functionalised α-substituted amino acid derivatives via aldol addition
2005
Abstract Highly diastereoselective aldol additions of (2 R ,4 S )-3- tert -butyl 4-methyl 2- tert -butyloxazolidine-3,4-dicarboxylate ( 1 ) are reported. The utility of the highly substituted oxazolidines of type 1 for diastereoselective α-addition of the fully protected amino acid l -serine with achiral and chiral carbonyl compounds is demonstrated and the relative and absolute configuration of the aldol products are discussed on the basis of NOESY data and solid state structures of selected examples. The aldol products represent highly useful intermediates in the syntheses of sphingosine-related metabolites.
NonclassicalPschorr andSandmeyer Reactions in Pyrazole Series
2005
The diazonium salt derived from 4-amino-N,1,3-trimethyl-N-(3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide (14) was reacted with a mixture of CuSO4 and NaCl, with ascorbic acid as an initiator to afford the planar derivative 4,6-dihydro-1,4,6,8-tetramethyl-3-phenyldipyrazolo[3,4-b:4′,3′-d]pyridin-5(3H)-one (16) and its unexpected isomer 4,6-dihydro-3,4,6,8-tetramethyl-1-phenyldipyrazolo[4,3-b:4′,3′-d]pyridin-5(1H)-one (17), as well as the epimers (3S,4S)- (or (3S,4R)-) and (3S,4R)- (or (3S,4S)-) 4-chloro-2,4-dihydro-1′,3′,5,5′-tetramethyl-2-phenylspiro[pyrazole-3,4′(1′H)-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrazol]-6′(5′H)-one (18a and b, respectively). Epimers 18a and b were converted under basic c…
Stereoselective synthesis of perillaldehyde-based chiral β-amino acid derivatives through conjugate addition of lithium amides.
2014
The Michael addition of dibenzylamine to (+)-tert-butyl perillate (3) and to (+)-tert-butyl phellandrate (6), derived from (S)-(−)-perillaldehyde (1), resulted in diastereomeric β-amino esters 7A–D in a moderately stereospecific reaction in a ratio of 76:17:6:1. After separation of the diastereoisomers, the major product, cis isomer 7A, was quantitatively isomerized to the minor component, trans-amino ester 7D. All four isomers were transformed to the corresponding β-amino acids 10A–D, which are promising building blocks for the synthesis of β-peptides and 1,3-heterocycles in three steps. The steric effects of the isopropyl group at position 4 and of the α-methyl substituent of (R)-N-benzyl…

1992
Abstract The stereoselective formation of anomerically pure 1-O-acyl derivatives of protected carbohydrates is achieved by reaction of the α-glycosyl halogenoses with cesium caboxylates.
Diastereoselective Functionalization of a Spherand‐Type Calixarene
1994
Condensation of 5,5'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-dihydroxybiphenyl (1) with formaldehyde yields a cyclic trimer 2 (and tetramer 3) having three (four) methylene groups less than a calix[6]arene (calix[8]arene). Alkylation of the (flexible) trimer with ethyl bromoacetate gives exclusively the stereoisomer 4 with C 2 symmetry, while the isomer with D 3 symmetry is not observed. Two isomers 6a and 6b (C 2 and C 1 symmetry) are obtained by treatment with tert-butyl bromoacetate which both are converted by transesterification with methanol into the same hexamethyl ester 5 having C 2 symmetry. These results are rationalized by restricted rotation around Ar-Ar bonds for larger O-alkyl groups also around Ar…
Effect of ionic liquid organizing ability and amine structure on the rate and mechanism of base induced elimination of 1,1,1-tribromo-2,2-bis(phenyl-…
2006
Abstract The kinetics of the elimination reaction of 1,1,1-tribromo-2,2-bis(phenyl-substituted)ethanes into the corresponding 1,1-dibromo-2,2-bis(phenyl-substituted)ethenes induced by amines were studied in three room temperature ionic liquids ([BMIM][BF 4 ], [BMIM][PF 6 ], [BdMIM][BF 4 ]). In order to have information about reagent–ionic liquid interactions, the reaction was carried out over the temperature range (293.1–313.1 K). To study the effect of the amine on the rate and occurrence of the elimination reaction, several primary, secondary and tertiary amines with different structure (cyclic and acyclic), basicity and steric requirements were used. The data collected show that the reac…
Synthesis of nonracemic α-trifluoromethyl α-amino acids from sulfinimines of trifluoropyruvate
2001
We describe a novel and useful method for the synthesis of nonracemic α-trifluoromethyl α-amino acids (α-Tfm-AAs). Key building blocks are the sulfinimines (S)-1a and (S)-1b, prepared by Staudinger reaction from trifluoropyruvate esters and the chiral N-sulfinyl iminophosphorane (S)-8, which were treated with benzyl, allyl, and alkylmagnesium halides. The resulting diastereomeric N-sulfinyl α-Tfm α-amino esters, 12 and 13, were produced with moderate to good stereoselectivity and yields. When alkyl Grignard reagents were used, stereocontrol became progressively higher with increasing steric bulk, while reversed, though poor, stereocontrol was achieved with benzyl/allyl Grignard reagents. An…
