Synthesis of Enantiomerically Pure Isoxazolidine Monomers for the Preparation of β3‐Oligopeptides by Iterative α‐Keto Acid?Hydroxylamine (KAHA) Ligations

A versatile method for the synthesis of enantiomerically pure isoxazolidine monomers for the synthesis of β³‐oligopeptides via α‐keto acid? hydroxylamine (KAHA) ligation is presented. This one‐pot synthetic method utilizes in situ generated nitrones bearing gulose‐derived chiral auxiliaries for the asymmetric 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition with methyl 2‐methoxyacrylate. The resulting enantiomerically pure isoxazolidine monomers bearing diverse side chains (proteinogenic and non‐proteinogenic) can be synthesized in either configuration (like‐ and unlike‐configured). The scalable and enantioselective synthesis of the isoxazolidine monomers enables the use of the synthesis of β³‐oligopeptides via iterative α‐keto acid? hydroxylamine (KAHA) ligation.     

A Total Synthesis of Aliskiren

A total synthesis of aliskiren ( 20 ) was accomplished. A key in our synthesis was to use the symmetric trans‐cisoid‐trans‐bis‐lactone 1 as a precursor.

Total Synthesis of (+)-Lactacystin

A double stereodifferentiating crotylation between aldehyde 1 and silane (S)- 2 to afford homoallylic alcohol 3 is the key diastereoselective step (anti:syn >30:1) in an efficient asymmetric synthesis of (+)-lactacystin. This compound is a metabolite isolated from Streptomyces sp. OM-6519 that exhibits significant neurotrophic activity. An additional important step in the synthesis is a catalytic asymmetric aminohydroxylation used as the key step in the synthesis of the (2R,3S)-hydroxyleucine synthon.     

From 2011 to 2022: The development of pyrazole derivatives through the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds

The synthesis of pyrazole derivative using α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds has attracted increasing attention of the synthetic organic chemist community. Interestingly, the simplicity of the synthetic method, high reactivity, and ease of incorporating diversity into the desired prototype have contributed a lot toward the exploration of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds by various research groups. Due to the tremendous pharmacological significance of pyrazole derivatives, their synthesis has been one of the leading research frontiers in recent years. As prime examples, sildenafil, zometapin, Celebrex, and rimonabant have been successfully commercialized in the market to treat various life-challenging diseases. Considering the great profile of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound in the synthesis of biologically active pyrazole derivatives, this review incorporates contemporary literature (2011–2022) on the synthesis of pyrazole and its derivatives using α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound as a starting precursor.

A straightforward synthesis of (S)‐pyrrolam A is described. The synthesis involves in situ generation of the phosphorane 3 , followed by an intramolecular Wittig reaction to furnish (S)‐pyrrolam A.     

Synthesis of O‐Acyl Isopeptides

O‐Acyl isopeptides, in which the N‐acyl linkage on the hydroxyamino acid residue (e.g., Ser and Thr) is replaced with an O‐acyl linkage, generally possess superior water‐solubility to their corresponding native peptides, as well as other distinct physicochemical properties. In addition, O‐acyl isopeptides can be rapidly converted into their corresponding native peptide under neutral aqueous conditions through an O‐to‐N acyl migration. By exploiting these characteristics, researchers have applied the O‐acyl isopeptide method to various peptide‐synthesis fields, such as the synthesis of aggregative peptides and convergent peptide synthesis. This O‐acyl‐isopeptide approach also serves as a means to control the biological function of the peptide in question. Herein, we report the synthesis of O‐acyl isopeptides and some of their applications.

Synthesis of Selectively gem-Difluorinated Molecules; Chiral gem-Difluorocyclopropanes via Chemo-Enzymatic Reaction and gem-Difluorinated Compounds via Radical Reaction

The incorporation of fluorine atoms into an organic compound can alter the chemical reactivity or biological activity of the resulting compound due to the strong electron withdrawing nature of the fluorine atom. We have synthesized many original gem-difluorinated compounds and described the results in four sections. The first section describes the synthesis of optically active-gem-difluorocyclopropanes via the chemo-enzymatic reaction; we applied these compounds to liquid crystalline molecules, then further discovered a potent DNA cleavage activity for the gem-difluorocyclopropane derivatives. The second section describes the synthesis of selectively gem-difluorinated compounds via a radical reaction; we synthesized fluorinated analogues of a sex pheromone of the male African sugarcane borer, Eldana saccharina, and used the compounds as proof for investigating the origin of pheromone molecule recognition on the receptor protein. The third involves the synthesis of 2,2-difluorinated-esters by visible light-driven radical addition of 2,2-difluoroacetate with alkenes or alkynes in the presence of an organic pigment. The last section describes the synthesis of gem-difluorinated compounds via the ring-opening of gem-difluorocyclopropanes. We further developed a novel method of synthesizing gem-difluorohomoallylic alcohols via the ring-opening of gem-difluorocyclopropane and aerobic oxidation by photo-irradiation in the presence of an organic pigment. Since gem-difluorinated compounds that were prepared by the present method have two olefinic moieties with a different reactivity at the terminal position, we accomplished the synthesis of four types of gem-difluorinated cyclic alkenols via the ring-closing-metathesis (RCM) reaction.

Syntheses and CD‐Spectroscopic Investigations of Longer‐Chain β‐Peptides: Preparation by Solid‐Phase Couplings of Single Amino Acids,Dipeptides, and Tripeptides

The synthesis and CD‐spectroscopic analysis of eleven water‐soluble β‐peptides composed of all‐β³ or alternating β²‐ and β³‐amino acids is described. Different approaches for the efficient syntheses of longer‐chain β‐peptides (>9 residues) were investigated. They were synthesized on solid phase with Fmoc‐protected amino acids or Fmoc‐protected di‐ or tripeptide fragments (assembled using solution‐phase synthesis). The use of preformed fragments significantly increased the purity of the crude peptides and facilitated purification. Especially, the use of Fmoc‐protected β²/β³‐dipeptides for the synthesis of a ‘mixed' β²/β³‐nonapeptide proved to be remarkably effective, yielding the crude peptide in 95% purity and without detectable epimerization of the β²‐amino acid residues. This is a significant improvement over previously reported procedures for the solid‐phase synthesis of β‐peptides, and foreshadows that the field of β‐peptide research will now switch from synthesis to the design and study of complex functional ‘β‐proteins'.     

Enantioselective Synthesis of cis-Decalin Derivatives by the Inverse-Electron-Demand Diels–Alder Reaction of 2-Pyrones

A novel strategy for the synthesis of cis-decalins by an ytterbium-catalyzed asymmetric inverse-electron-demand Diels–Alder reaction of 2-pyrones and silyl cyclohexadienol ethers is reported here. A broad range of synthetically important cis-decalin derivatives with multiple contiguous stereogenic centers and functionalities are obtained in good yields and stereoselectivities. A full set of diastereomeric substituted cis-decalin motifs are readily accessible by tuning the absolute configurations of substituted silyl cyclohexadienol ethers (R or S) as well as the ligands (R or S). The synthetic potential is showcased by the enantioselective total synthesis of 4-amorphen-11-ol, and further demonstrated by the first total synthesis of cis-crotonin.

Das Pyrrocorphin-Ligandsystem: Synthese des 2,2,7,7,12,12,17-Heptamethyl-2,3,7,8,12,13-hexahydroporphyrins. Kurzmitteilung

The Pyrrocorphin Ligand System: Synthesis of 2,2,7,7,12,12,17-Heptamethyl-2,3,7,8,12,13-hexahydroporphyrin Reaction Schemes 4 and 6 summarize the synthesis of the title compound, a representative of a recently described novel type of hexahydroporphinoid ligand system (‘pyrrocorphin’). Pyrrocorphins incorporate structural elements of both corrins and porphyrins and are chemically closely related to the tautomeric non-pyrrolic corphins (Scheme 1). The synthesis exemplifies a methodology for constructing pyrrolic hydro-porphinoids with the methods of corrin instead of porphyrin synthesis. An X-ray analysis of 2-(cyanomethyl)-2-methyl-3-oxobutanamide has been carried out.
