A simple procedure for the synthesis of 3-(substituted-sulfanyl)-4-hydroxy-6-substituted-pyran-2-ones

A series of 3-(substituted sulfanyl)-4-hydroxy-6-substituted-pyran-2-ones were synthesized for Human immunodeficiency virus-1 protease inhibition.

The molecular and crystal structure of 6-amino-5-cyano-3-(3-cyano-4,6-dimethylpyridin-2-ylthiomethyl)-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-2,4-dihydropyrano[2,3-c]pyrazole was established by X-ray diffraction analysis.     

Enantioselective Addition of Cyclic Enol Silyl Ethers to 2-Alkenoyl-Pyridine-N-Oxides Catalysed by Cu(II) -Bis(oxazoline) Complexes

Asymmetric reactions involving (E)-3-aryl-1-(pyridin-2-yl-N-oxide)prop-2-en-1-ones and cyclic enol silyl ethers show good yields and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99.9?% ee) when catalysed by bis(oxazoline)-Cu(II) complexes. Different reaction pathways can be followed by different enol silyl ethers: with 2-(trimethylsilyloxy)furan, a Mukaiyama-Michael adduct is obtained, whereas a hetero Diels-Alder cycloadduct was formed by using (1,2-dihydronaphthalen-4-yloxy)trimethylsilane. In the latter reaction, the absolute configuration of the product is consistent with a reagent approach to the less hindered Re face of the coordinated substrate in the reactive complex.
