Stereoselective Synthesis of 8,12-Furanoeudesmanes from Santonin. Absolute Stereochemistry of Natural Furanoeudesma-1,3-diene and Tubipofurane.
1996
Ketobutenolide 3, easily obtained from santonin (1), has been transformed into two natural furanoeudesmanes 4 and 5, isolated from Commiphora molmol and Tubipora musica, respectively. trans- And cis-decalin systems were obtained by stereoselective reduction of the C(4)-C(5) double bond in 3 in the following way: hydrogenation of 3 over Pd/C followed by acidic treatment gave the cis isomer 10 as the major product; selective hydrogenation of the C(1)-C(2) double bond with the Wilkinson's catalyst followed by reduction with NaTeH yielded mainly the trans isomer 9. Compounds 9 and 10 were transformed into 4 and 5 in parallel sequences. Optical rotation and CD measurements of the synthetic produ…
ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis of α-Fucosyl Glycosides and Disaccharides Using 4- Methoxybenzyl (Mpm) Protected Fucosyl Donors.
2010
The 4-methoxybenzyl (Mpm) group removable by selective oxidation was applied as a nonneighbouring-group-active protection of fucose hydroxy functions in the stereoselective synthesis of α-fucosides of acceptors containing double bonds sensitive to hydrogenation. With this aim, the synthesis of the α-fucosyl chloride (4) carrying the acidsensitive Mpm protection was elaborated.
Synthesis of ?-fucosyl glycosides and disaccharides using 4-methoxybenzyl (Mpm) protected fucosyl donors

ChemInform Abstract: Applications and Stereoselective Syntheses of P-Chirogenic Phosphorus Compounds
2016
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. This review reports the bes…
Toward an Understanding of the Mechanisms of the Intramolecular [5 + 2] Cycloaddition Reaction of γ-Pyrones Bearing Tethered Alkenes. A Theoretical S…
2000
The molecular mechanism for the intramolecular [5 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of β-silyloxy-γ-pyrones bearing tethered alkenes has been characterized using ab initio methods. A comparative study for this sort of cycloaddition carried out at different computational levels points out that the B3LYP/6-31G* calculations give similar barriers to those obtained with the MP3/6-31G* level. Analysis of the energetic results shows that the reaction takes place along a stepwise process: first, the migration of the neighboring silyl group to the carbonyl group of the γ-pyrone takes place to give a weak oxidopyrylium ylide intermediate, which by a subsequent concerted intramolecular [5 + 2] cycloadditi…
β-Branched α-Halo Carboxylic Acid Derivatives via Stereoselective 1,4 Addition of Dialkylaluminum Chlorides to α,β-Unsaturated N-Acyloxazolidinones
1997
The stereoselective synthesis of β-branched α-halo carboxylic acids containing two newly formed chiral centers is accomplished by a reaction cascade consisting of the 1,4 addition of dialkylaluminum chlorides to α,β-unsaturated N-acyloxazolidinones and subsequent reaction of the intermediate aluminum enolates with N-halosuccinimide. The most efficient stereocontrol in these tandem processes has been achieved with oxazolidinones derived from glucosamine. Not only aryl substituted but also purely aliphatic β-branched α-halo carboxylic acids can be stereoselectively synthesized by this method. However, the reactions of β-aryl α,β-unsaturated N-acyloxazolidinones show the highest diastereoselec…
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…
