Effect of addition of Lewis/Brönsted acids in the asymmetric aldol condensation catalyzed by trifluoroacetate salts of proline-based dipeptides
2012
Abstract Proline-based dipeptides catalyze aldol condensations with good yield and stereoselectivity after addition of zinc or sodium acetate to the trifluoroacetate peptide. The chirality of the N-terminal proline in the catalyst determines the absolute configuration of the aldol product, but stereoselectivity depends on the configuration of both amino acids, and is higher for the enantiomeric pair R–S, S–R. Regarding the nature of the second component, optimal results in both yield and stereoselectivity are obtained when neutral unbranched primary amino acids are used.
Studies on the Stereoselective Selenolactonization, Hydroxy and Methoxy Selenenylation of α- and β-Hydroxy Acids and Esters. Synthesis of δ- and γ-La…
2003
Abstract The diastereoselective synthesis of hydroxy substituted γ- and δ-lactones was accomplished following two approaches. A 5- or 6-endo cyclization promoted by electrophilic selenium reagents of α- or β-hydroxy acids and a 5- or 6-exo cyclization of hydroxy esters obtained through a diastereoselective hydroxy selenenylation reaction of α- or β-hydroxy esters. Moreover, the diastereoselective methoxy selenenylation of the above compounds was investigated showing a case in which the compound that was unreactive in the hydroxy selenenylation conditions gave, in the methoxy selenenylation conditions, the deprotected diol. The usefulness of the methoxy selenenylation procedure was proven by…
ChemInform Abstract: Hydrophobically Directed Aldol Reactions: Polystyrene-Supported L-Proline as a Recyclable Catalyst for Direct Asymmetric Aldol R…
2008
A simple synthetic methodology for the preparation of a polystyrene-supported L-proline material is reported, and this material has been used as catalyst in direct asymmetric aldol reactions between several ketones and arylaldehydes to furnish aldol products in high yields and stereoselectivities. Screening of solvents showed that these reactions take place only in the presence of water or methanol, at lower levels of conversion in the latter case. This solvent effect, coupled with the observed high stereoselectivities, has been explained in terms of the formation of a hydrophobic core in the inner surface of the resin, whereas the hydrophilic proline moiety lies at the resin/water interfac…

The reaction of cyanuric chloride (I) with 3 equivalents of ketones (II) in the presence of 3 equivalents of KOH affords adducts (IV), which are converted into deacylated derivatives (III) by treatment with aqueous HCl solution in MeOH.
CMPO-substituted calix[6]- and calix[8]arene extractants for the separation of An3+/Ln3+ from radioactive waste
2006
Abstract Three calix[6]arene derivatives ( 1a – c ) and two calix[8]arene derivatives ( 2a , b ), with six and eight CMPO residues, respectively, attached to the narrow/lower rim via ether links, were synthesised. Preliminary liquid–liquid extraction studies for Eu(III) and Am(III) from aqueous nitric acid to o -nitrophenylhexyl ether reveal remarkable properties with respect to efficiency and selectivity, especially for the tert -butylcalix[6]arene derivative with a –(CH 2 ) 3 – spacer.
New multicomponent catalysts for the selective aerobic oxidative condensation of benzylamine to N-benzylidenebenzylamine
2014
Aerobic oxidative condensation of benzylamine to N-benzylidenebenzylamine was carried out on new gold-based catalysts using as support bimodal UVM-7-like mesoporous silica containing Ni and Ce (or Sn) as oxide nanodomains partially embedded inside the mesoporous UVM-7 silica walls. These nanodomains acted as effective and stable inorganic anchors favoring the nucleation, growth and stability of supported gold particles. Following the atrane method (a “one-pot” strategy able to harmonize the hydrolytic reactivity of different heteroelements through the use of complexes containing triethanolamine-derived ligands (atranes) as precursors) the stability of the oxide nanodomains during oxidation …
A Straightforward Route to Homoallyl-Homocrotylamines Promoted by a Titanium Complex
2012
I�-Allyltitanium complexes, generated in situ from 1,3-dienes and Cp2TiH, react with benzotriazole derivatives to give homoallylic amines in good yields. Under similar conditions, triple cascade reactions (allyltitanation followed by cationic 2-aza-Cope rearrangement followed by a second allyltitanation) occur from bis(benzotriazolyl) compounds affording a straightforward route to homoallyl-(E)-homocrotylamines. A theoretical study provides further insight into the factors that govern the selectivity of this sequence of reactions. The titanium-promoted reductive coupling of 1,3-dienes with bis(benzotriazolyl) compounds as substrates led selectively to homoallyl-homocrotylamines through a tr…
Toward an understanding of the selectivity in domino reactions. A DFT study of the reaction between acetylenedicarboxylic acid and 1, 3-Bis(2-furyl)p…
2000
The mechanism of the domino reaction between acetylenedicarboxylic acid and 1,3-bis(2-furyl)propane has been theoretically studied in the framework of density functional theory. This domino process comprises two consecutive cycloaddition reactions: the first one is initialized by the nucleophilic attack of the C5 position of the furan ring to a conjugate position of acetylenedicarboxylic acid to give a zwitterionic intermediate, which by a subsequent ring-closure process affords an oxanorbornadiene intermediate. The second reaction is an intramolecular concerted cycloaddition of this intermediate to give the final dioxapentacyclic adduct. For the second cycloaddition, which corresponds to t…

Selectively Functionalized Constrained Polyazamacrocycles: Building Blocks for Multifunctional Chelating Agents
2013
A new class of cross-bridged and side-bridged 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclotridecanes (homocyclens) bearing an aminomethyl pendant arm on the carbon skeleton has been prepared. The regioselectivity of the quaternization of the bis-aminal intermediates is discussed on the basis of X-ray diffraction and NMR experiments. These new polyazamacrocycles are valuable precursors of bifunctional chelating agents for applications in nuclear medicine.
