Bile acid-derived mono- and diketals—synthesis, structural characterization and self-assembling properties

2010

Three oxo-derivatives of bile acid methyl esters have been used as starting compounds in the preparation of novel bile acid monoketals with 1,2-benzenediol (catechol) and 2,3-naphthalenediol, as well as mono- and diketals with pentaerythritol. Monoketals of pentaerythritol showed a tendency to form thermoreversible gels in many aromatic solvents and the methyl lithocholate derivative proved to be a supergelator able to form a gel with t-butylbenzene at a concentration as low as 0.5% w/v. Whereas the naphthalenediol ketals formed film-type materials in the studied solvents, the catechol ketals underwent rapid crystallization into X-ray quality single crystals. Single crystal X-ray structures…

Synthesis and Isolation of Enantiomerically Enriched Cyclopenta[b]benzofurans Based on Products from Anodic Oxidation of 2,4-Dimethylphenol

2015

The anodic treatment of 2,4-dimethylphenol offers a powerful and direct method for the construction of a dehydrotetramer with four contiguous stereocentres on a multigram scale. The installation of propellanes on this scaffold using enantiomerically pure carbonyl compounds leads to a mixture of diastereomers. This mixture is easily separable using standard chromatography and gives rise to optically pure cyclopenta[b]benzofurans which are important scaffolds in a variety of natural products. The synthesis is easy to perform and allows a reliable access to chiral compounds with very high enantiomeric excess. It was possible to determine the absolute configuration of these compounds by compari…

Yttrium Hydrido Complexes that Contain a Less “Constrained Geometry” Ligand:  Synthesis, Structure, and Efficient Hydrosilylation Catalysis

2001

σ-Bond metathesis of the new linked amino-cyclopentadiene (C5Me4H)CH2SiMe2NHCMe3 with Y(CH2SiMe3)3(THF)2 gave the alkyl-yttrium complex [Y(η5:η1-C5Me4CH2SiMe2NCMe3)(CH2SiMe3)(THF)] (1) in 66% yield. Compound 1 was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystal structure analysis. By hydrogenolysis, 1 was quantitatively converted into the dimeric hydride [Y(η5:η1-C5Me4CH2SiMe2NCMe3)(THF)(μ-H)]2 (2). X-ray crystal structure analysis revealed a Y2H2 core connected to two [Y(η5:η1-C5Me4CH2SiMe2NCMe3)(THF)] fragments in a skewed manner, with a relatively long yttrium−yttrium distance of 3.7085(8) A. In solution, two diastereomers were observed by 1H NMR spectroscopy at −78 °C. Dimer 2 was s…

Installation of Amine Moieties into a Polycyclic Anodic Product Derived from 2,4-Dimethylphenol

2011

When 2,4-dimethylphenol is anodically treated, a dehydrotetramer with four contiguous stereocentres is readily obtained on a multi-gram scale. The substitution of a 2,4-dimethyl-phenoxy fragment by several amines was demonstrated, and the best results were obtained with primary amines. Optically pure α-chiral aliphatic amines yield diastereomeric mixtures that can be separated in most cases. The basic amine causes a partial hemiketal-opening of the bisbenzofuran moiety leading to an equilibrium within an α,β-unsaturated cyclohexenone. This dynamic behaviour occurs on the time scale of NMR spectroscopy and is also found by X-ray analysis providing a consistent picture.

The title reaction tolerates aliphatic and aromatic substituents on both reaction partners, affording products (III) as a mixture of inseparable diastereomers with low or without any diastereoselectivity.

For the reaction of the compounds (I) the careful choice of the base allows the exclusive formation of either cis or trans diastereoisomer with the exception of the trihalogenates (Ie) and (If), which afford the cis-products regardless of the base used.

2003

Abstract A series of polysubstituted naphthohydroquinoid tricarbonyl chromium complexes were prepared by chromium mediated [3+2+1]-benzannulation of Fischer-type carbene complexes with alkynes. The kinetics and the thermodynamic data of the η6-η6-haptotropic rearrangements were investigated by in-situ NMR spectroscopy. The free activation energies ΔG# range from 23 to 26 kcal mol−1 and only slightly depend on the bulk and the donor/acceptor properties of the substituents. Equilibrium of metal migration was observed for naphthohydroquinone complexes bearing methoxy substituents at the non-hyroquinoid ring (ring A). In complexes bearing methyl groups or only hydrogen substituents at ring A th…

Synthesis of a New Fluorinated Oxazolidinone and Its Reactivity as a Chiral Auxiliary in Aldol Reactions.

2007

A new enantiomerically pure fluorinated oxazolidinone has been prepared from a fluorinated imidoyl chloride and an optically pure sulfoxide. The diastereoselective reduction of the β-iminosulfoxide thus formed followed by elimination of the sulfoxide and cyclization of the created aminoalcohol furnishes the desired product. The fluorinated oxazolidinone was subsequently used as a chiral auxiliary in Aldol reactions. We also found that the selective formation of the syn-Evans and syn-non-Evans diastereoisomer can be controlled by adjusting the Lewis acid/base ratio.

ChemInform Abstract: Enantioselective Syntheses of Dopaminergic (R)- and (S)-Benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines.

2010

Optically pure (1S,R)- and (1R,S)-benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines (BTHIQs), 12a,b as the major diastereomers, were prepared by stereoselective reduction of the isoquinolinium salt possessing (R)- and (S)-phenylglycinol as the chiral auxiliary, respectively. The absolute configurations of (1S,R)-13a hydrochloride (O-debenzoylated derivative from 12a) and (1R,S)-12b diastereomers were unambiguously determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Reductive removal of the chiral auxiliary group, subsequent N-propylation, and cleavage of the methylenedioxy group furnished the optically active catecholamines (1S)-16a and (1R)-16b in good overall yield. We have separately prepared for the first time pa…
