Stereocontrolledα-Alkylation of Fully ProtectedL-Serine

2004

Diastereoselective alkylation of the (2S,4S) and (2R,4S) diastereomers of 3-tert-butyl 4-methyl 2-tert-butyl-1,3-oxazolidine-3,4-dicarboxylate (1a/b) is reported. Formation of both diastereomers of these oxazolidines was achieved by changing the order of protection steps, and their relative and absolute configurations were determined by NOESY spectroscopy. The use of the bulky ring substituent tBu together with Boc as the N-protecting group led to the exclusive formation of only one alkylated diastereomer. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Stereoselective Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure Piperidine Derivatives by N-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.

ChemInform Abstract: Enhanced Activity and Stereoselectivity of Polystyrene-Supported Proline-Based Organic Catalysts for Direct Asymmetric Aldol Rea…

2010

Several polystyrene-supported proline dipeptides and a prolinamide derivative were prepared by thiol–ene coupling. These materials were used as catalysts for the direct asymmetric aldol reaction in water, and results compared with unsupported catalysts in water. Such an approach gave more active or stereoselective catalysts compared to the unsupported compounds, showing that our immobilization procedure may be useful to develop catalytic materials with enhanced performance. Moreover, these catalysts can be recovered and reused for at least nine times without loss of activity or can be easily regenerated when their activity has decreased. (© Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

ChemInform Abstract: Synthesis and Stereochemical Studies of 2-Substituted Thiazolidine-4-carboxamide Derivatives.

2010

A series of new 2-substituted thiazolidine-4-carboxamide derivatives which have potentially useful immunological properties, have been synthesized in a stereoselective manner by coupling 2-subsituted thiazolidine-4-carboxylic acids with amines or amino esters. The structure of these compounds was established by combination of NMR methods and by X-ray analysis.

ChemInform Abstract: Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Ring-Opening of Strained Olefins Through C-H Activation of O-Acetyl Ketoximes: An Efficient Synthesis of …

2014

An efficient strategy for the stereoselective synthesis of functionalized cyclopentenes and spiro[2.4]heptenes from strained olefins via C–H activation of aryl ketone O-acetyl ketoximes using [RhCl2Cp∗]2 catalyst is described. The results revealed that a wide range of readily accessible aryl and heteroaryl ketoximes are compatible in this method for the ring opening of bicyclic and spirotricyclic olefins.

Ab Initio Study of Stereo- and Regioselectivity in the Diels−Alder Reaction between 2-Phenylcyclopentadiene and α-(Methylthio)acrylonitrile

1997

Ab initio molecular orbital calculations have been used to investigate the Diels−Alder reaction between 2-phenylcyclopentadiene and α-(methylthio)acrylonitrile. Geometry optimizations were performed with the RHF/3-21G, RHF/3-21G*, and RHF/6-31G* calculations while the correlation energy has been calculated at MP2 and MP3 levels. Four asynchronous transition structures corresponding to the formation of different stereoisomers and regioisomers associated with the four reaction channels have been located. The observed endo/exo stereoselectivity and para/meta regioselectivity are correctly described at all levels of calculation, and the calculated activation energies reflect accurately the rela…

A DFT study of the [3 + 2] versus [4 + 2] cycloaddition reactions of 1,5,6-trimethylpyrazinium-3-olate with methyl methacrylate.

2013

The reaction between 1,5,6-trimethylpyrazinium-3-olate and methyl methacrylate (MMA) yielding a lactone-lactam has been studied using the DFT method at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) level. It is concluded that formation of the lactone-lactam is a domino process involving three consecutive reactions: (i) a 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (13DC) reaction between the pyrazinium-3-olate and MMA yielding a [3 + 2] cycloadduct (CA); (ii) a skeletal rearrangement, which converts the [3 + 2] CA into a formal [4 + 2] CA, possessing a diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane structure; and finally, (iii) an S(N)2 reaction, promoted by halide anion, with concomitant nucleophilic attack of the created carboxylate anion on an iminium …

ChemInform Abstract: Selective “One-Pot” Synthesis of Functionalized Cyclopentenones.

2012

Reaction of squaric acid derivatives with vinyl magnesium bromide followed by treatment with trifluoroethanol allows a new and stereoselective access to functionalized cyclopentenones of type (III)/ (V).

Influence of Reactant Polarity on the Course of the Inverse-Electron-Demand Diels−Alder Reaction. A DFT Study of Regio- and Stereoselectivity, Presen…

1999

The molecular mechanisms for the inverse-electron-demand Diels−Alder reactions between nitroethene and three substituted ethenes (propene, methyl vinyl ether, and dimethylvinylamine) to give the corresponding nitroso cycloadducts have been characterized with density functional theory methods using the B3LYP/6-31G* calculational level. On the basis of stability arguments and molecular orbital analysis relative rates, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity, the presence of Lewis acid catalyst modeled by the BH3 system and the inclusion of solvent effects as a function of the nature of substituent in the dienophile fragment are analyzed and discussed. The ortho attack mode presents transition…
