Enantioselective synthesis of an unnatural bipyridyl amino acid and its incorporation into a peptide

The synthesis of a bipyridyl amino acid, 2-amino-3-(4′-methyl-2,2′-bipyridin-4-yl) propanoic acid, is described. A short three step synthesis from commercially available 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine provides the amino acid in 65% enantiomeric excess (ee). An enzyme-mediated chiral resolution increases the ee to 95% in two additional steps. The amino acid was incorporated into a 22 amino acid peptide composed predominantly of alanine. The peptide was found to be 88% α-helical in aqueous solution at 1°C by circular dichroism (CD) spectropolarimetry, indicating a high helical propensity for this amino acid. This amino acid can provide a means to incorporate a metal into structure-forming peptides.     

Synthesis of N-acyl-2-pyrrolidinones from the corresponding N-acyl-GABA derivatives

In this work, the synthesis of 1-(pyridine-3-carbonyl)pyrrolidin-2-one ( 1a ) and 1-(2-propyl-1-pentanoyl)pyrrolidin-2-one ( 1b ) by cyclization of the corresponding GABA derivatives, is reported. Two different methods are developed. For the synthesis of 1a , the parent molecule 4-[(pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino]butanoic acid ( 2a ) is treated first with thionyl chloride and then with triethylamine. The second derivative, 1b , is produced by an intramolecular dehydration of 4-(2-propylpentanoylamino)butanoic acid ( 2b ) using an acid catalyst.     

Asymmetric synthesis of 1,2-dioxolane-3-acetic acids: synthesis and configurational assignment of plakinic acid A

The first asymmetric synthesis of 1,2-dioxolane-3-acetic acids is reported. Key features include the stereoselective opening of enantiomerically enriched oxetanes by hydrogen peroxide, conversion of the resulting 4-hydroperoxy-2-alkanols to 3-alkoxy-1,2-dioxolanes, and Lewis acid mediated homologation of the latter with a thioester silyl ketene acetal. The approach is modeled on 3,5-dimethyl-5-hexadecyl-1,2-dioxolane-3-acetic acid (1a), an unnamed natural product, and an optimized strategy is applied to the synthesis of four stereoisomers of plakinic acid A (2), allowing a configurational assignment of this incompletely characterized natural product.     

Chiral Sulfinimines in Asymmetric Synthesis of Enantiomeric Aminophosphonic Acids

Abstract

Aminophosphonic acids have become important in different fields of chemistry, medicine and agriculture. In this review article, we highlight a new strategy developed in the author's laboratory of asymmetric synthesis of enantiomeric aminophosphonic acid that users chiral sulfinimines as reagents. A key reaction in the synthesis of enantiopure α-, β- and γ-aminophosphonic acids is a highly or fully diastereoselective addition of trivalent phosphorus nucleophiles and α-phosphonate carbanions to enantiopure sulfinimines. The steric course of these addition reactions is rationalized. The usefulness of the sulfinimine methodology is demonstrated by the synthesis of biologically active enantiopure 2-amino-3-phosphonopropanoic acid (AP3), 2-amino-4-phosphonobutanoic acid (AP4) and phosphoemeriamine.     

Synthesis of 4-deoxy-4-nitrosialic acid

The synthesis of 4-deoxy-4-nitrosialic acid (3,4,5-trideoxy-4-nitro-D-glycero-beta-D-galacto-non-2-ulopyranosonic acid, 5), was completed in seven steps starting from D-arabinose. Coupling of the 6-carbon fragment, 2-acetamido-1,2-dideoxy-1-nitro-D-mannitol (6) with ethyl alpha-(bromomethyl)acrylate afforded a 2 : 1 mixture of ethyl 5-acetamido-2,3,4,5-tetradeoxy-2-methylene-4-nitro-D-glycero-D-galacto-nononate (9a-S) and ethyl 5-acetamido-2,3,4,5-tetradeoxy-2-methylene-4-nitro-D-glycero-D-talo-nononate (9a-R). This mixture of enones was subjected to ozonolysis, and following reduction of the ozonide, the resultant products cyclised to the pyranosides. The target compound, ethyl 4-deoxy-4-nitrosialate (11a) was isolated by fractional crystallisation. Hydrolysis of the ethyl ester proved problematic; thus, the synthesis was modified by using tert-butyl alpha-(bromomethyl)acrylate. Following ozonolysis of the corresponding tert-butyl enoate esters and diastereomer separation, the tert-butyl ester of 4-nitrosialic acid (11b) could be deprotected under acidic conditions to afford . The target compound is a useful intermediate for synthesis of a variety of C-4 substituted sialic acid derivatives, and it is synthesised by a modular route.

棒状LiZnPO4的低温合成与表征

LiZnPO₄的性能与其形貌密切相关,其合成常用的固相法和水热法均无控制其微观形貌的优势。 本文采用改进的沉淀法成功合成了具有棒状结构的LiZnPO₄。 利用热重-差热分析仪(TG-DSC)、X射线衍射仪(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)以及场发射扫描电子显微镜(FE-SEM)等技术研究了LiZnPO₄形成过程、晶相组成、微观结构和形貌。 同时探究了合成方法、煅烧温度、煅烧时间、酸的种类对LiZnPO₄形貌的影响。 结果表明,相比较于固相法,以醋酸为原料的改进沉淀法不仅可以有效降低LiZnPO₄的合成温度至500 ℃,而且很容易控制棒状LiZnPO₄的形成。 在600 ℃下煅烧2 h后可以获得分散性良好、横截面为矩形、直径约为2 μm的规则棒状LiZnPO₄。 此外,对比颗粒状LiZnPO₄和棒状LiZnPO₄的光响应能力,发现棒状LiZnPO₄的光响应能力明显增强。

Total and formal enantioselective synthesis of lyngbic acid and hermitamides A and B

The synthesis of lyngbic acid and both hermitamides A and B, three compounds previously isolated from Lyngbya majuscula has been achieved by a cross-metathesis between 4-methoxyundec-1-ene with pent-4-enoic acid or its amides. The reaction proceeds smoothly to deliver the target molecules in appreciable yields and with a very high E selectivity as determined by NMR experiments. Allyl transfer using a camphor derived homoallylic alcohol allowed the synthesis of enantiomerically enriched starting materials.     

An efficient and scalable synthesis of substituted phenanthrenequinones by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of imidazolides

An efficient synthesis of 9,10-phenanthrenequinones is described. The two carbonyl groups were introduced by an orthoselective intermolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of 3-methoxyphenol with ethyl chlorooxoacetate. The formation of a biaryl bond by Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction, followed by the hydrolysis of the ester, gave a biaryloxoacetic acid. Treatment of this acid with CDI gave the corresponding imidazolide. The ring closure to the desired phenanthrenequinone was accomplished by intramolecular Friedel-Crafts reaction of the imidazolide promoted by TiCl(4).     

Highly enantioselective synthesis of a fluorescent amino acid

A high enantiomeric excess (>99.5%) synthesis of 2-amino-3-(7-methoxy-4-coumaryl) propionic acid ( Amp) is described. The two step synthesis route of this non-proteinogenic amino acid includes an oxazinone derivative as glycine enolate, which is alkylated with the fluorogenic group.     

An Efficient Procedure for Esterification of Aryloxyacetic Acid and Arylthioacetic Acid Catalyzed by Silica Sulfuric Acid

Aryloxyacetate and arylthioacetate are wildly used in herbicides, plant regulator and insecticides. Recently, Wille et al. have reported that methyl aryloxyacetate is an efficient agent to prevent and treat allergic contact dermatitis.[1] The most popular synthesis is by heating sodium phenoxide (mercaptide) with ethyl chloroacetate in DMF,[2] or by the esterification of acid with alcohol using concentrated H2SO4 as catalyst.[3] In this paper, synthesis of aryloxyacetate and aryl thioacetate from aryloxyacetic acid and arylthioacetic acid respectively in ether catalyzed by silica sulfuric acid in 83%～94% yields is described. The catalyst is reused for 3 times without significant loss of activity (Entry 4). Compared with common procedures, the present procedure possesses the advantages of the operational simplicity, short reaction time,less-corrosion, high yield and reusable catalyst.     

Conversion of 1,3-thiazolidine and its sulfoxide to dihydro-1,4-thiazine

Two methods for constructing dihydro-1,4-thiazine 4 were described. 1,3-Thiazolidines 5 were converted to dihydro-1,4-thiazines 4 by chlorinolysis through the unisolable chlorosulfonium salt 10 and sulfenyl chloride 11 . Oxidation of the sulfides 5 gave a mixture of pairs of diasteromers 6 . In the presence of acid catalyst, both sulfoxides were converted to dihydrothiazine 4 through sulfenic acid 22 . In this reaction the stepwise ring opening involving carbocation 23 seems more probable. The structures of 4 were proven by the independent synthesis involving 3-bromo-2-oxobutanoic acid derivatives.
