Synthesis of sialyl-Tn antigen. Regioselective sialylation of a galactosamine threonine conjugate unblocked in the carbohydrate portion
1994
Abstract Regioselective and stereocontrolled formation of the sialyl-Tn antigen conjugate 6 was achieved by reacting the NeuNAc-2-xanthate 2 with the GalNAc threonine acceptor 5 bearing three hydroxy groups. Complete deprotection afforded the sialyl-Tn antigen structure 11 .
Cyclic metal(oid) clusters control platinum-catalysed hydrosilylation reactions : from soluble to zeolite and MOF catalysts
2020
The Pt-catalysed addition of silanes to functional groups such as alkenes, alkynes, carbonyls and alcohols, i.e. the hydrosilylation reaction, is a fundamental transformation in industrial and academic chemistry, often claimed as the most important application of Pt catalysts in solution. However, the exact nature of the Pt active species and its mechanism of action is not well understood yet, particularly regarding regioselectivity. Here, experimental and computational studies together with an ad hoc graphical method show that the hydroaddition of alkynes proceeds through Pt-Si-H clusters of 3-5 atoms (metal(oid) association) in parts per million amounts (ppm), which decrease the energy of…
A mechanistic study of the participation of azomethine ylides and carbonyl ylides in [3+2] cycloaddition reactions
2015
The participation of azomethine ylides (AYs) and carbonyl ylides (CYs) in [3+2] cycloaddition (32CA) reactions has been analysed at the DFT B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. The asymmetric substitution breaks the pseudodiradical character of the simplest three-atom-components (TACs), modifying their electrophilic and nucleophilic behaviours. These TACs react quickly towards electrophilic nitroethylene. However, while the reaction with AY takes place via a zw-type mechanism, the reaction with CY appears to take place via a pr-type mechanism. A different behaviour is found in the reactivity towards the nucleophilic methyl vinyl ether. While AY presents a high activation energy, CY presents a high reactiv…
Regioselective substitution of 6,7-dichloroquinoline-5,8-dione: synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of 4a,10,11-triazabenzo[3,2-a]fluorene-5,6-dion…
2003
6,7-Dichloroquinoline-5,8-dione (1) was reacted with a number of 2-aminopyridine derivatives. Of the several possible products of this reaction, 4a,10,11-triazabenzo[3,2-a]fluorene-5,6-dione (6), produced by condensation and rearrangement, was obtained as the major product, and its structure was subsequently unambigously determined by X-ray crystallographic study. Ortho-quinones were produced via nucleophilic substitution at position C7, which was unexpected, considering that para-quinones were produced via C6 substitution in the reaction between compound 1 and ethyl acetoacetate in our previous work. Such unexpected nucleophilic substitution at C7 provides an effective, yet simple route, t…
Straightforward Regio- and Diastereoselective Synthesis, Molecular Structure, Intermolecular Interactions and Mechanistic Study of Spirooxindole-Engr…
2021
Straightforward regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of bi-spirooxindole-engrafted rhodanine analogs 5a–d were achieved by one-pot multicomponent [3 + 2] cycloaddition (32CA) reaction of stabilized azomethine ylide (AYs 3a–d) generated in situ by condensation of L-thioproline and 6-chloro-isatin with (E)-2-(5-(4-chlorobenzylidene)-2,4-dioxothiazolidin-3-yl)-N-(2-morpholinoethyl)acetamide. The bi-spirooxindole-engrafted rhodanine analogs were constructed with excellent diastereo- and regioselectivity along with high chemical yield. X-ray crystallographic investigations for hybrid 5a revealed the presence of four contiguous stereocenters related to C11, C12, C19 and C22 of the spiro struct…
Unique regioselectivity in the C(sp3)-H α-alkylation of amines: the benzoxazole moiety as a removable directing group.
2014
The benzoxazol-2-yl- substituent was found to act as a removable activating and directing group in the Ir-catalyzed alkylation of C(sp(3))-H bonds adjacent to nitrogen in secondary amines. It can be easily introduced by oxidative coupling or by an SNAr reaction, and it can be removed by hydroxide or by hydride reduction. For 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines, activation exclusively takes place in the 3-position. A variety of activated as well as unactivated terminal olefins are suitable reaction partners.
Regioselective Epoxide Ring Opening. Steroselective Synthesis of a Tetrahydropyran Ring
1998
The stereoselective synthesis of a 2-substituted tetrahydropyran with adjacent alkoxy-bearing stereogenic centre is described. The key steps of this synthesis were the stereoselective epoxidation of an allylic alcohol and the regioselective epoxide ring opening by lithium aluminum hydride. The regio and stereoselective synthesis of a trihydroxyselenide and a trihydroxysulfide is also described. The latter compounds are not suitable for cyclization to tetrahydrofuran ring.
Stereoselective Synthesis of (+)-11βH,13-Dihydroestafiatin, (+)-11βH,13-Dihydroludartin, (−)-Compressanolide, and (−)-11βH,13-Dihydromicheliolide fro…
2002
Starting from 2 and 3, obtained from santonin (1), we have synthesized natural guaianolides 4-7. Chemoselective epoxidation of 2 gave (+)-11betaH,13-dihydroestafiatin (4), and epoxidation of 3 followed by regioselective elimination of the hydroxyl group afforded (+)-11betaH,13-dihydroludartin (5). Sharpless' mild regioselective ring-opening of 4 and 5 followed by hydrogenolysis yielded (-)-compressanolide (6) and (-)-11betaH,13-dihydromicheliolide (7), respectively.
A density functional theory study of the regio- and stereoselectivity of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of C-methyl substituted pyrazinium-3-olates wi…
2013
Abstract A DFT [B3LYP/6-31G(d)] study was carried out on the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reactions of multi C-methyl substituted pyrazinium-3-olates with methyl acrylate (MA) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of the possible endo/exo stereoisomeric and 6-ester/7-ester regioisomeric pathways have been determined. The skeleton rearrangement of the 6-exo [3 + 2] cycloadducts into the [4 + 2] adducts is also considered. The electrophilic, P k + , and nucleophilic, P k - , Parr functions are used to have better understanding of the regioselectivity of these 13DC reactions. In all cases the exo pathways are more favourable compared to the endo alternatives. …
Allylpalladium( II ) Complexes with Aminophosphane Ligands: Solution Behaviour and X‐ray Structure of cis ‐[Pd(η 3 ‐CH 2 CHCHPh){Ph 2 PCH 2 CHPhNH(2,…
2004
A new β-aminophosphane L2 [Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NH(2,6-C6H3iPr2)], bearing an asymmetric carbon atom and a vicinal prochiral nitrogen centre and (η3-allyl)palladium complexes of general formula [Pd(η3-C3H4R){η2-Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NHAr}][PF6] (1−6) (R = H, Me or Ph and Ar = Ph or 2,6-C6H3iPr2) have been synthesised. NMR spectroscopic studies and a crystal structure analysis of complex 6 (R = Ph, Ar = 2,6-C6H3iPr2) confirmed the highly diastereoselective coordination of the nitrogen atom. Because of the allyl fluxionality and the presence of asymmetric centres, all the complexes exist in solution as mixtures of up to four diastereomers. For the monosubstituted allyl complexes [Pd(η3-C3H4R){Ph2PCH2CH(Ph)NHA…
