The title compounds, the P(3)‐axially and P(3)‐equatorially substituted cis‐ and trans‐configured 9‐benzyl‐3‐fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐9‐aza‐3‐phosphadecalin 3‐oxides (=9‐benzyl‐3‐fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐9‐aza‐3‐phosphabicyclo[4.4.0]decane 3‐oxides=7‐benzyl‐2‐fluorohexahydro‐4H‐1,3,2‐dioxaphosphorino[4,5‐c]pyridine 2‐oxides) were prepared (ee >99%) and fully characterized (Schemes 2 and 4).

Being configuratively fixed and conformationally constrained phosphorus analogues of acetylcholine, the title compounds represent acetylcholine mimetics and are suitable probes for the investigation of molecular interactions with acetylcholinesterase.

1,8‐Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec‐7‐ene: A Remarkable Base in the Debromination of 4‐ or 5‐Substituted N‐Benzyl α‐Bromo‐α‐p‐Toluenesulfonylglutarimide

Synthesis of Macrocyclic Lactones via Ring Transformation of 4‐(ω‐Hydroxyalkyl)‐1,3‐oxazol‐5(4H)‐ones

The synthesis of α‐benzamido‐α‐benzyl lactones 23 of various ring size was achieved either via ‘direct amide cyclization’ by treatment of 2‐benzamido‐2‐benzyl‐ω‐hydroxy‐N,N‐dimethylalkanamides 21 in toluene at 90 – 110° with HCl gas or by ‘ring transformation’ of 4‐benzyl‐4‐(ω‐hydroxyalkyl)‐2‐phenyl‐1,3‐oxazol‐5(4H)‐ones under the same conditions. The precursors were obtained by C‐alkylations of 4‐benzyl‐2‐phenyl‐1,3‐oxazol‐5(4H)‐one ( 15 ) with THP‐ or TBDMS‐protected ω‐hydroxyalkyl iodides. Ring opening of the THP‐protected oxazolones by treatment with Me₂NH followed by deprotection of the OH group gave the diamides 21 , whereas deprotection of the TBDMS series of oxazolones 25 with TBAF followed by treatment with HCl gas led to the corresponding lactones 23 in a one‐pot reaction.     

Preparation of Well‐Defined Diblock Copolymers with Short Polypeptide Segments by Polymerization of N‐Carboxy Anhydrides

Summary: The ring‐opening polymerization of N‐carboxy anhydrides (NCA) of γ‐benzyl‐L ‐glutamate and β‐benzyl‐L ‐aspartate was studied in the presence of an ammonium chloride‐functionalized poly(ethylene oxide) macroinitiator, which possibly prevents side reactions such as NCA deprotonation. Although polymerization initiated by such macroinitiators was found to be quite slow, well‐defined conjugates of poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(γ‐benzyl‐L ‐glutamate) and poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(β‐benzyl‐L ‐aspartate) with polydispersity indexes as low as 1.05 were prepared. Moreover, the presence of ammonium chloride chain ends significantly prevented end‐group cyclization of poly(γ‐benzyl‐L ‐glutamate) after polymerization.

Gel permeation chromatograms recorded for the diblock copolymers of poly(ethylene oxide)‐block‐poly(γ‐benzyl‐L ‐glutamate) prepared by N‐carboxy anhydride polymerization initiated either by PEO‐NH₂ macroinitiator or PEO‐NHequation/tex2gif-stack-1.gifCl⁻ macroinitiator.

The title compounds, the P(3)‐axially and P(3)‐equatorially substituted cis‐ and trans‐configured 8‐benzyl‐3‐fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐8‐aza‐3‐phosphadecalin 3‐oxides (=8‐benzyl‐3‐fluoro‐2,4‐dioxa‐8‐aza‐3‐phosphabicyclo[4.4.0]decane 3‐oxides=2‐fluorohexahydro‐6‐(phenylmethyl)‐4H‐1,3,2‐dioxaphosphorino[5,4‐c]pyridine 2‐oxides) were prepared (ee>98%) and fully characterized (Schemes 2 and 3). The absolute configurations were established from that of their precursors, the enantiomerically pure cis‐ and trans‐1‐benzyl‐4‐hydroxypiperidine‐3‐methanols which were unambiguously assigned. Being configuratively fixed and conformationally constrained phosphorus analogues of acetyl γ‐homocholine (=3‐(acetyloxy)‐N,N,N‐trimethylpropan‐1‐aminium), they are suitable probes for the investigation of molecular interactions with acetylcholinesterase. As determined by kinetic methods, all of the compounds are weak inhibitors of the enzyme.     

PPA-SiO2 Catalyzed Multi-component Synthesis of N-[α-(β-Hydroxy-α-naphthyl)(benzyl)] O-Alkyl Carbamate Derivatives

This new approach consistently has the advantage of short reaction time, high conversions, clean reaction profiles, and simple experimental and work-up procedures.     

Synthesis of (Methyl 3‐O‐Benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐altropyranosid‐2‐yl)thiophene Derivatives as Precursors of New Iso‐C‐nucleoside Analogues

Treatment of 2‐(methyl 3‐O‐benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐altropyranosid‐2‐yl)ethanal (3) with malononitrile in the presence of aluminium oxide provided 2‐cyano‐4‐(methyl 3‐O‐benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐altropyranosid‐2‐yl)crotononitrile (4). Starting from 4, cyclization with sulphur and triethylamine yielded 2‐amino‐5‐(methyl 3‐O‐benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐altropyranosid‐2‐yl)thiophene‐3‐carbonitrile (5). Further cyclization could be achieved with triethyl orthoformate/ammonia to furnish 4‐amino‐6‐(methyl 3‐O‐benzyl‐4,6‐O‐benzylidene‐2‐deoxy‐α‐d‐altropyranosid‐2‐yl)thieno[2.3‐d]pyrimidine (8).     

New Approaches to 6‐Oxoisoaporphine and Tetrahydroisoquinoline Derivatives

2,3‐Dihydro‐6‐hydroxy‐5‐methoxy‐7H‐dibenzo[de,h]quinolin‐7‐one, 6‐hydroxy‐5‐methoxy‐7H‐dibenzo[de,h]quinolin‐7‐one, and 2‐(6,7‐dimethoxy‐3,4‐dihydroisoquinolin‐1‐yl)benzyl benzoate, easily available by a Bischler–Napieralski cyclization, were used as starting materials to afford 6‐oxoisoaporphine and 2,3‐dimethoxy‐5,6,8,12b‐tetrahydroisoindolo[1,2‐a]isoquinoline as the main products. However, the catalytic hydrogenation of the benzyl benzoate derivative afforded, under mild conditions, 1,2,3,4‐tetrahydro‐6,7‐dimethoxy‐1‐(2‐methylphenyl)isoquinoline.     

Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(ε-caprolactone-co-δ-valerolactone) with Pendant Carboxylic Functional Groups

In this paper, aliphatic polyesters functionalized with pendant carboxylic groups were synthesized via several steps. Firstly, substituted cyclic ketone, 2‐(benzyloxycarbonyl methyl)cyclopentanone (BCP) was prepared through the reaction of enamine with benzyl‐2‐bromoacetate, and subsequently converted into the relevant functionalized δ‐valerolactone derivative, 5‐(benzyloxy carbonylmethyl)‐δ‐valerolactone (BVL) by the Baeyer‐Villiger oxidation. Secondly, the ring‐opening polymerization of BVL with ε‐caprolactone was carried out in bulk using stannous octoate as the catalyst to produce poly(ε‐caprolactone‐co‐δ‐valerolactone) bearing the benzyl‐protected carboxyl functional groups [P(CL‐co‐BVL)]. Finally, the benzyl‐protecting groups of P(CL‐co‐BVL) were effectively removed by H₂ using Pd/C as the catalyst to obtain poly(ε‐caprolactone‐co‐δ‐valerolactone) bearing pendant carboxylic acids [P(CL‐co‐CVL)]. The structure and the properties of the polymer have been studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Fourier Infrared Spectroscopy (FT‐IR) and Differential Scan Calorimetry (DSC) etc. The NMR and FT‐IR results confirmed the polymer structure, and the ¹³C NMR spectra have clearly interpreted the sequence of ε‐caprolactone and 5‐(benzyloxycarbonylmethyl)‐δ‐valerolactone in the copolymer. When the benzyl‐protecting groups were removed, the aliphatic polyesters bearing carboxylic groups were obtained. Moreover, the hydrophilicity of the polymer was improved. Thus, poly(ε‐caprolactone‐co‐δ‐valerolactone) might have great potential in biomedical fields.     

Experimental and Theoretical Conformational Analysis of 5‐Benzylimidazolidin‐4‐one Derivatives – a ‘Playground’ for Studying Dispersion Interactions and a ‘Windshield‐Wiper’ Effect in Organocatalysis

The PF₆ salts of 5‐benzyl‐1‐isopropylidene‐ and 5‐benzyl‐1‐cinnamylidene‐3‐methylimidazolidin‐4‐ones 1 (Scheme) with various substituents in the 2‐position have been prepared, and single crystals suitable for X‐ray structure determination have been obtained of 14 such compounds, i.e., 2 – 10 and 12 – 16 (Figs. 2–5). In nine of the structures, the Ph ring of the benzyl group resides above the heterocycle, in contact with the cis‐substituent at C(2) (staggered conformation A ; Figs. 1–3); in three structures, the Ph ring lies above the iminium π‐plane (staggered conformation B ; Figs. 1 and 4); in two structures, the benzylic C? C bond has an eclipsing conformation ( C ; Figs. 1 and 5) which places the Ph ring simultaneously at a maximum distance with its neighbors, the CO group, the N?C‐π‐system, and the cis‐substituent at C(2) of the heterocycle. It is suggested by a qualitative conformational analysis (Fig. 6) that the three staggered conformations of the benzylic C? C bond are all subject to unfavorable steric interactions, so that the eclipsing conformation may be a kind of ‘escape’. State‐of‐the‐art quantum‐chemical methods, with large AO basic sets (near the limit) for the single‐point calculations, were used to compute the structures of seven of the 14 iminium ions, i.e., 3, 4 / 12, 5 – 7, 13 , and 16 (Table) in the two staggered conformations, A and B , with the benzylic Ph group above the ring and above the iminium π‐system, respectively. In all cases, the more stable computed conformer (‘isolated‐molecule’ structure) corresponds to the one present in the crystal (overlay in Fig. 7). The energy differences are small (≤2 kcal/mol) which, together with the result of a potential‐curve calculation for the rotation around the benzylic C? C bond of one of the structures, 16 (Fig. 8), suggests that the benzyl group is more or less freely rotating at ambident temperatures. The importance of intramolecular London dispersion (benzene ring in ‘contact’ with the cis‐substituent in conformation A ) for DFT and other quantum‐chemical computations is demonstrated; the benzyl‐imidazolidinones 1 appear to be ideal systems for detecting dispersion contributions between a benzene ring and alkyl or aryl CH groups. Enylidene ions of the type studied herein are the reactive intermediates of enantioselective organocatalytic conjugate additions, Diels–Alder reactions, and many other transformations involving α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds. Our experimental and theoretical results are discussed in view of the performance of 5‐benzyl‐imidazolidinones as enantioselective catalysts.
