Synthetic Approaches to Anti-Inflammatory Macrolactones of the Oxacyclododecindione Type
2015
Various synthetic approaches to the oxacyclododecindione-type macrolactones, known for their potent anti-inflammatory activity, are presented. These include an attempted carbonylative ring closure, a hydroacylation route, and an approach by ring-closing metathesis and double bond isomerization, as well as a strategy including ring-closing metathesis/unsaturation. The last route allowed the preparation of a bioactive analogue of the recently described 14-deoxyoxacyclododecindione.
Asymmetric synthesis of fluorinated amino macrolactones through ring-closing metathesis
2007
The synthesis of new chiral fluorinated amino and azamacrolactones of types 1 and 2 is described. A ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction constitutes the key step in this methodology, which uses fluorinated amino alcohols 7 as starting materials. The influence of the CF2 group, which is located in the alpha-position relative to the carbon bearing the amino group, on the efficiency of the RCM reaction is noteworthy. This method allows for the preparation of the desired fluorinated macrolactones in excellent yields.
Diastereoselective synthesis of fluorinated, seven-membered beta-amino acid derivatives via ring-closing metathesis.
2003
[reaction: see text] Cis and trans seven-membered gamma,gamma-difluorinated beta-amino acid derivatives (III) have been prepared with a sequence that starts with imidoyl halides (I), which are condensed with suitable ester enolates to give intermediates (II). These, in turn, can be cyclized by means of a ring-closing olefin metathesis reaction and the product stereoselectively reduced to yield compounds (III) in good overall yields.
An Approach to 2,4-Substituted Pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridines and Pyrazolo[1,5-a]azepines by Ring-Closing Metathesis
2013
The ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions of dienylpyrazoles have been employed in the synthesis of pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyridine and pyrazolo[1,5-a]azepine derivatives. Based on this approach, the diastereoselective synthesis of potential peptidomimetics containing four amino acid residues with the second (i+1) and third (i+2) fragments having been substituted by bicyclic frameworks is described.
Applications and stereoselective syntheses of P-chirogenic phosphorus compounds.
2016
International audience; Phosphorus compounds bearing chirality on the P-center are usually qualified as P-chirogenic or P-stereogenic. This chemical class concerns natural products, agrochemistry, molecular materials, biology and pharmacy, although it is certainly in coordination chemistry and in asymmetric catalysis using chiral transition metal complexes that P-chirogenic phosphorus compounds are the most used. The chiral phosphine ligands and their uses in asymmetric metal-catalyzed reactions have been widely reviewed in literature. However, an overview covering the applications as well as the stereoselective syntheses of all classes of phosphorus compounds has not yet been provided. Thi…
Relay Catalysis: Enantioselective Synthesis of Cyclic Benzo-Fused Homoallylic Alcohols by Chiral BrOnsted Acid-Catalyzed Allylboration/Ring Closing M…
2013
Six- and seven-membered benzo-fused cyclic homoallylic alcohols can be readily synthesized by a tandem chiral BrOnsted acid-catalyzed allyl (crotyl)boration/ring closing metathesis sequence performed under orthogonal relay catalysis conditions. Excellent enantio- and diastereoselectivities are obtained in most of the cases. In addition, the parent crotylboration/RCM process is also described. The required substrates, ortho-vinylbenzaldehydes, are readily available in one step from commercially available starting materials. Both catalysts and reactants are also available from commercial suppliers. The reaction shows broad functional group compatibility and is also suitable for heteroaromatic…
