Efficient synthesis of neurotrophic honokiol using Suzuki–Miyaura reactions

Efficient synthesis of honokiol (1) was accomplished using two kinds of Suzuki–Miyaura reactions. The first Suzuki–Miyaura reaction was employed to couple 2-bromophenol (6) with 4-hydroxyphenylboronic acid (5), giving rise to biphenol 4, and the second coupling was used to introduce allyl groups at 5- and 3′-positions of honokiol. The total synthesis of 1 was completed in 74% yield over five steps from 6, or in 83% yield over four steps from biphenol 4.     

Phosphorus phenyl-group activation by reduced zirconium and niobium complexes stabilized by the [P2N2] macrocycle.

Reduction of [P2N2]ZrCl2 (where [P2N2] = PhP(CH2SiMe2NSiMe2CH2)2PPh) with KC8 under argon generates the phosphorus phenyl bridged bimetallic complex where the bridging phenyl groups are formally reduced to bis(allyl) dianions. Similar reduction of [P2N2]NbCl caused the one-electron reduction of the phosphorus phenyl group to generate a cyclohexadienyl moiety via a C-C bond formation between the ipso carbons of the two phenyl groups.     

Allyl chloride/AlCl_3/ether cationic initiating systems for polymerization of 1,3-pentadiene

Various ethers were used to mediate the polymerizations of 1,3-pentadiene (PD) initiated by AlCl3 and by allyl chloride (AllyCl)/AlCl3. The introduction of the ethers exert considerable effects on polymer yield and molecular weight due to its interaction with the propagating carbocation. The carbocation reactivity is reduced by this interaction which is subject to the ether's nucleophilicity determined by the steric hindrance of groups adjacent to oxygen. The reduction of carbocation reactivity gives rise to a decrease of polymer yield owing to inhibition of propagation but results in an augmentation of molecular weight due to suppression of various side reactions such as terminations. By using suitably nucleophilic ethers such as diphenyl ether, the polymerization can be mediated to give an high molecular weight polymer in high yield.

Single‐step synthesis of internally functionalizable hyperbranched polyethers

Radical catalyzed thiol‐ene reaction has become a useful alternative to the Hüisgen‐type azide‐yne click reaction as it helps expand the variability in reaction conditions as well as the range of clickable entities. In this study, the direct generation of a hyperbranched polyether (HBPE) having decyl units at the periphery and a pendant allyl group on every repeat unit of the polymer backbone is described; the allyl groups serve as a reactive handle for postpolymerization modifications and permits the generation of a variety of internally functionalized HBPEs. In this design, the AB₂ monomer carries two decylbenzyl ether units (B‐functionality), an aliphatic ? OH (A‐functionality) and a pendant allyl group within the spacer segment; polymerization of the monomer readily occurs at 150 °C via melt transetherification process by continuous removal of 1‐decanol under reduced pressure. The resulting HBPE has a hydrophobic periphery due to the presence of numerous decyl chains, while the allyl groups that remain unaffected during the melt polymerization provides an opportunity to install a variety of functional groups within the interior; thiol‐ene click reaction with two different thiols, namely 3‐mercaptopropionic acid and mercaptosuccinic acid, generated interesting amphiphilic structures. Preliminary field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) imaging studies reveal the formation of fairly uniform spherical aggregates in water with sizes ranging from 200 to 400 nm; this suggests that these amphiphilic HBPs is able to reconfigure to generate jellyfish‐like conformations that subsequently aggregate in an alkaline medium. The internal allyl functional groups were also used to generate intramolecularly core‐crosslinked HBPEs, by the use of dithiol crosslinkers; gel permeation chromatography traces provided clear evidence for reduction in the size after crosslinking. In summary, we have developed a simple route to prepare core‐clickable HBPEs and have demonstrated the quantitative reaction of the allyl groups present within the interior of the polymers; such HB polymeric systems that carry numerous functional groups within the core could have interesting applications in analyte sequestration and possibly sensing, especially from organic media. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Computational study of the thermal decomposition and the thermochemistry of allyl ethers and allyl sulfides

In spite of the several experimental and computational studies on the thermal decomposition of allyl ethers and allyl sulfides, there are still disagreements on aspects of the reaction mechanism, such as the true nature of the transition states and the grade of synchronicity of the reactions. This work presents a computational study of the gas-phase thermolysis reaction of allyl ethers and allyl sulfides substituted at α-carbon, at the M05-2X/6-31+G(d,p) level of theory and a temperature range from 586.15 to 673.15 K. The substituent groups were methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, i-propyl, allyl, benzyl and acetonyl. It was found that the sulfides react faster than the homologous ethers and that the substituent groups with the capacity of delocalize charge increase the reaction rate. Through natural bond orbital calculations, the transition states were characterized. The synchronicities and atomic charges of the studied reactions were determined. A computational study at the G3 level of theory on the thermochemistry of allyl ethers and sulfides was also carried out.     

Synthesis of enantiomerically pure perhydrofuro[3,4-b]pyrans and perhydrofuro[3,4-b]furans

Olefinic diols, prepared from (R)-(+)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4-carboxaldehyde via olefination and hydrolysis, were converted into enantiomerically pure hydroxy substituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives by cyclization using N-phenylselenophthalimide and BF₃. The PhSe group in the C-4 position of these tetrahydrofurans was then substituted by an allyl group using allyltributylstannane in the presence of AIBN. The selenium promoted cyclizations of the allyl tetrahydrofurans in which the OH and the allyl groups are trans to each other formed the enantiopure perhydrofuro[3,4-b]pyrans, while the cyclization of the allyl tetrahydrofurans in which the OH and the allyl groups are cis gave rise to the perhydrofuro[3,4-b]furans. These bicyclic products were finally deselenenylated with triphenyltin hydride and AIBN.     

Honokiol ameliorates endothelial dysfunction through suppression of PTX3 expression,a key mediator of IKK/IκB/NF-κB,in atherosclerotic cell model

Pentraxin 3 (PTX3) was identified as a marker of the inflammatory response and overexpressed in various tissues and cells related to cardiovascular disease. Honokiol, an active component isolated from the Chinese medicinal herb Magnolia officinalis, was shown to have a variety of pharmacological activities. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effects of honokiol on palmitic acid (PA)-induced dysfunction of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and to elucidate potential regulatory mechanisms in this atherosclerotic cell model. Our results showed that PA significantly accelerated the expression of PTX3 in HUVECs through the IκB kinase (IKK)/IκB/nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) pathway, reduced cell viability, induced cell apoptosis and triggered the inflammatory response. Knockdown of PTX3 supported cell growth and prevented apoptosis by blocking PA-inducted nitric oxide (NO) overproduction. Honokiol significantly suppressed the overexpression of PTX3 in PA-inducted HUVECs by inhibiting IκB phosphorylation and the expression of two NF-κB subunits (p50 and p65) in the IKK/IκB/NF-κB signaling pathway. Furthermore, honokiol reduced endothelial cell injury and apoptosis by regulating the expression of inducible NO synthase and endothelial NO synthase, as well as the generation of NO. Honokiol showed an anti-inflammatory effect in PA-inducted HUVECs by significantly inhibiting the generation of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1. In summary, honokiol repaired endothelial dysfunction by suppressing PTX3 overexpression in an atherosclerotic cell model. PTX3 may be a potential therapeutic target for atherosclerosis.     

Use of the Allyloxycarbonyl Protective Group in Carbohydrate Chemistry

Selective allyloxycarbonylation of primary hydroxyl groups was achieved by using allyl chloroformate as reagent. The allyl-oxycarbonyl group was removed selectively in the presence of the allyl protective group with the catalysts Pd(POS3)4 or RhCl-(Pφ3)3. Isomerisation of the allyl ether in the presence of the allyloxycarbonyl ester could be accomplished, albeit not completely selective, using [Ir(COD)(PMeφ2)2]PF6- Furthermore, the prop-2-enylidene dioxolane acetal was inert towards Pd(Pφ3)4 or RhCl(Pφ3)3 but was completely removed by PdCl₂.     

Titanium Tetrachloride in Organic Synthesis [New synthetic methods (21)]

Titanium tetrachloride can accelerate numerous organic reactions. Valuable syntheses of, e.g., allyl sulfides, amides, enamines, and ketones are based upon transformations of functional groups with TiCl₄. Particular mention should also be made of carbon-carbon linkage with TiCl₄ which permits the synthesis of hydroxy ketones and carbonyl compounds of the Michael adduct type. TiCl₄ reduced in situ is suitable for the reduction of chloroarenes or the linkage of two aldehyde molecules to give an alkene.
