Scandium-catalyzed preparation of cytotoxic 3-functionalized quinolin-2-ones: Regioselective ring enlargement of isatins or imino isatins

2012

Trimethylsilyldiazomethane in the presence of catalytic amounts of Sc(OTf) 3 smoothly promotes the ring expansion of isatins or imino isatins to efficiently afford 3-functionalized quinolin-2-ones through controlled ring enlargement. Whereas the ring-expansion reaction of azetidine-2,3-diones led to the adduct resulting from migration of the carbonyl group, the ring-expansion reaction of oxindole derivatives gave the adduct resulting from migration of the aryl group. To rationalize the experimental observations, theoretical studies have been performed. Moreover, the biological activity of some of the synthesized heterocycles has been evaluated in four cancer cell lines. © 2012 Wiley-VCH Ver…

Stereoselective Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure Piperidine Derivatives byN-Galactosylation of Pyridones

2004

Stereoselective desymmetrization of 4-pyridone has been achieved through selective N-galactosylation, activation of the N-(galactosyl)pyridone by O-silylation and immediate addition of Grignard compounds. Chiral piperidine derivatives, e.g. (S)-(+)-coniine and (5S,9S)-(+)-indolozidine 167B, were synthesised in enantiomerically pure form using these highly regio- and stereoselective reactions. After N-galactosylation of 2-pyridone and O-silylation of the N-galactosyl-2-pyridone, addition of a Grignard compound proceeded with high 1,4-regioselectivity and complete diastereoselectivity, to furnish 4-substituted 5,6-dehydro-2-piperidones.

Leaving Group and Regioselectivity Switches in the Aminoalkylation Reaction of Indoles and Related Heterocycles with α-Amido Sulfones

2013

The regioselective aminoalkylation of indoles and related heterocycles with α-amido sulfones under basic conditions has been studied. The reaction that employed the MeMgBr/MgBr2 system provided high yields of 3-(1-carbamoylalkyl)indoles. On the other hand, the reaction that used Cs2CO3 afforded 1-(1-carbamoylalkyl)indoles exclusively in high yields. The first reaction constitutes a switch of the leaving group of the α-amido sulfone in comparison to previously reported reactions between indoles and α-amido sulfones, which provided 3-(1-arylsulfonylalkyl)indoles. The second reaction constitutes a switch in the regioselectivity. The extensions of these C- and N-aminoalkylations starting from p…

Anion Receptors Based on a Quinoline Backbone

2007

2-Amido-8-urea substituted quinoline derivatives are potent receptors for the binding of halide or benzoate anions in chloroform. The selectivity and affinity of the receptors for fluoride can be tuned by variation of the substituents at the receptor side chains. Computational considerations show that the cleft of the receptors provides space for effective binding of F–, but not bigger anions.(© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Phosphonomethyl-substituted phenols are readily obtained from o-hydroxymethylated phenols and trialkyl phosphites. The free acids, incorporated into phenol-formaldehyde resins, act as cation exchangers with remarkable selectivity for different metal ions.

Stereocontrolled approach to quinuclidine derivatives

1998

Abstract Asymmetric Michael-type cyclization of chiral enamino ester (S)-7 furnished the quinuclidinone derivative (3R, 4S)-5, with a high degree of stereoselectivity.

A dft study of the regioselectivity in intramolecular diels-alder reactions with formation of a tricyclodecane skeleton

2011

Three different intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reactions associated with the formation of fused and bridged tricyclodecane skeletons have been studied at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) computational level. While substitution on the diene and dienophile fragments modulates the polar character of the reaction, the strain effect produced by the methylene tether affects the activation energy, and its torsion controls the different regioisomeric channels of the IMDA process. Analysis of the reactivity indices recently proposed (J. Soto-Delgado et al., Org. Biomol. Chem., 2010, 8, 3678) within the conceptual density functional theory allows for the characterization of the mechanism including the charge tr…

An AM1 study on π-facial selectivity in Diels-Alder reactions of 2-aza-1, 3-dienes with azodienophiles

1994

Abstract A theoretical study of the π-facial selectivity in Diels-Alder reactions of chloro derivatives of 2-aza-1,3-dienes with azodienophiles has been carried out using the semiempirical AM1 method. Three transition structures for the model reaction of the diene 3 with the dienophile 4 were located. The Diels-Alder reaction of the non-substituted 2-aza-1,3-diene 6 with the trans -diimide was studied. All transition structures located show an important asynchronicity and the calculations reveal the presence of stereoelectronic effects. The predicted stereoselectivity is in agreement with the experimental evidence.
