Preparation,molecular structures,and characteristic properties of (E)-1-(2-furyl)- and (E)-1-(2-thienyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylenes and (E)-1-(3-furyl)- and (E)-1-(3-thienyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylenes

Wittig reactions of 2-furaldehyde (20) [and thiophene-2-carbaldehyde (21)] with (3-guaiazulenylmethyl)triphenylphosphonium bromide (19) in ethanol containing NaOEt at 25 °C for 24 h under argon give (E)-1-(2-furyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylene (22E) and (E)-1-(2-thienyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylene (23E) in 53 and 36% yields. Similarly, Wittig reactions of 3-furaldehyde (29) [and thiophene-3-carbaldehyde (30)] with 19 under the same reaction conditions as for 20 and 21 afford (E)-1-(3-furyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylene (31E) and (E)-1-(3-thienyl)-2-(3-guaiazulenyl)ethylene (32E) in 32 and 46% yields. Molecular structures and characteristic properties as well as preparation of the title E (i.e., one of the geometrical isomers) forms, with a view to comparative study, are reported. Moreover, reactions of those conjugated π-electron systems with TCNE (=tetracyanoethylene) in benzene [and in DMF (=N,N-dimethylformamide)] at 25 °C for 24 h under argon yield unique products, possessing interesting molecular structures, respectively, whose characteristic properties and crystal structures are documented, also.     

Stereoselective synthesis of (S)-3-(methylamino)-3-((R)-pyrrolidin-3-yl)propanenitrile

(S)-3-(methylamino)-3-((R)-pyrrolidin-3-yl)propanenitrile (1) is a key intermediate in the preparation of PF-00951966, (1) a fluoroquinolone antibiotic for use against key pathogens causing community-acquired respiratory tract infections including multidrug resistant (MDR) organisms. The current work describes the development of a highly efficient and stereoselective synthesis of 1 in 10 steps with an overall yield of 24% from readily available benzyloxyacetyl chloride. Two key transformations in the synthetic sequence involve (a) catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation with chiral DM-SEGPHOS-Ru(II) complex to afford β-hydroxy amide 11b in good yield (73%) and high stereoselectivity (de 98%, ee >99%) after recrystallization and (b) S(N)2 substitution reaction with methylamine to provide diamine 14 with inversion of configuration at the 1'-position in high yield (80%), after efficient purification using a simple acid/base extraction protocol.     

2-(Acylmethylmercapto)-3-amino- and 2-(acylmethylmercapto)-3-acetamidopyridines

The reaction of 2-mercapto-3-acetamido-5-(or 6-)chloropyridines with phenacyl bromide and substituted phenacyl bromides yielded 2-(phenacylmercapto)-3-acetamidopyridines, while the reaction of the former with -chloroacetoacetic ester yielded 2-(carbethoxyacyl-methylmercapto)-3-acetamidopyridlnes.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 10, pp. 1391–1394, October, 1971.     

3-(2-Quinolyl)- and 3-(5-carbethoxyfuryl-2)coumarins

3-(2-Quinolyl)- and 3-(5-carbethoxyfuryl-2)coumarins were prepared by reaction of substituted salicylaldehydes and hetarylacetonitriles. Alkylation and acylation of 3-hetaryl-7-hydroxycoumarins were studied. __________ Translated from Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, No. 5, pp. 432–434, September–October, 2005.

Intramolecular Diels-Alder Reactions via 3-(Phenylthio)-4-(Trimethylsilyl)-3-Sulfolene

Deprotonation of the title compound 2 followed by treatment with 5-iodo-1-pentene or 6-iodo-l-hexene gave the alkylated products 3 and 4 which upon refluxing in toluene yielded the dienes 8a and 8b. Intramolecular Diels-Alder reactions were achieved by heating the dienes 8a and 8b in toluene in a sealed tube at 160–180°C to give bicyclo[4.3.0]nonene 9 and bicyclo[4.4.0]decene 10, respectively, in good yield. The stereochemistry of the cyclization products was determined, and was rationalized by comparison of the possible transition states involved.

Hydroxame derivatives of carboxymethyl- and carboxyethyldextrans have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis as well as by IR and UV spectroscopy. The effect of reaction conditions on the products yield has been studied.     

Practical synthesis of methyl(E)-2-(3-(3-(2-(7-chloro-2- quinolinyl)ethenyl)phenyl)-3-oxopropyl)benzoate,a key intermediate of Montelukast

A novel and practical synthetic route is presented for the preparation of methyl-(E)-2-(3-(3-(2-(7-chloro-2-quinolinyl)ethenyl) phenyl)-3-oxopropyl)benzoate,the key intermediate of Montelukast,a leukotriene antagonist.The main diarylpropane framework was prepared via a polarity conversation reaction resulting in an acyl anion equivalent followed by a nucleophilic substitution reaction.The overall yield of this approach was 61%.This method is simple for operation and suitable for industrial production.
