Constrained photophysics of partially and fully encapsulated charge transfer probe (E)-3-(4-Methylaminophenyl) acrylic acid methyl ester inside cyclodextrin nano-cavities: evidence of cyclodextrins cavity dependent complex stoichiometry

The polarity sensitive intra-molecular charge transfer (ICT) emission from (E)-3-(4-Methylaminophenyl) acrylic acid methyl ester (MAPAME) is found to show distinct changes once introduced into the nano-cavities of cyclodextrins in aqueous environment. Movement of the molecule from the more polar aqueous environment to the less polar, hydrophobic cyclodextrin interior is marked by the blue shift of the CT emission band with simultaneous fluorescence intensity enhancement. The emission spectral changes on complexation with the α- and β-CD show different stoichiometries as observed from the Benesi-Hildebrand plots. Fluorescence anisotropy and lifetime measurements were performed to probe the different behaviors of MAPAME in aqueous α- and β-CD solutions.     

Synthetic transformations of higher terpenoids: XV. Transformations of azlactone derived from 16-formyllambertianic acid methyl ester

Condensation of 16-formyllambertianic acid methyl ester with hippuric acid gave methyl 15,16-epoxy-16-[(4Z)-5-oxo-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazol-4-ylidenemethyl]labda-8(20),13(16),14-trien-19-oate which underwent ready transformation into 2-benzoylamino-3-(2-furyl)acrylic acid of the labdanoid series. Reactions of the diterpenoid azlactone with amines and α-amino acid esters led to the formation of the corresponding carbamoylvinylbenzamides and N-(2-benzoylaminoacryloyl) amino acid esters, and furylacrylic acid hydrazides were formed in reactions with hydrazines. Cyclization of the N′-phenylhydrazide by the action of 1 M aqueous sodium hydroxide gave the corresponding 1,2,4-triazin-6-one. By treatment of the azlactone with aqueous ammonia on heating, 4-substituted 2-phenyl-4,5-dihydroimidazol-5-one was obtained.

Total synthesis of oxidized phospholipids. 3. The (11E)-9-hydroxy-13-oxotridec-11-enoate ester of 2-lysophosphatidylcholine

A total synthesis of (11E)-9-hydroxy-13-oxotridec-11-enoate ester of 2-lysophosphatidylcholine (HOT-PC) was devised to facilitate identification of this oxidized phospholipid. A lactone, 8-(3-oxo-1H,6H-2-oxinyl)octanoic acid (1), believed to be generated through an intermediate (11E)-9-hydroxy-13-oxotridec-11-enoic acid (HOT), is produced upon autoxidation of linoleic acid. A synthesis of lactone 1 methyl ester was accomplished from HOT involving a novel trans-cis isomerization that is driven to completion by cyclization to a hemiacetal. An alternative route to this carbon skeleton was also achieved that provides the lactone 1 itself.     

Reactions of hydro(pero)xy derivatives of polyunsaturated fatty acids/esters with nitrite ions under acidic conditions. Unusual nitrosative breakdown of methyl 13-hydro(pero)xyoctadeca-9,11-dienoate to a novel 4-nitro-2-oximinoalk-3-enal product

13(S)-hydroperoxy- and 13(S)-hydroxyoctadeca-9,11-dienoic acids (1a/b), 15(S)-hydroperoxy- and 15(S)-hydroxyeicosa-5,8,11,13-tetraenoic acids (2a/b), and their methyl esters reacted smoothly with NO2- in phosphate buffer at pH 3-5.5 and at 37 degrees C to afford mixtures of products. 1b methyl ester gave mainly the 9-nitro derivative 3b methyl ester (11% yield) and a peculiar breakdown product identified as the novel 4-nitro-2-oximinoalk-3-enal derivative 4 methyl ester (15% yield). By GC-MS hexanal was also detected among the products. Structures 3b and 4 methyl esters were secured by 15N NMR analysis of the products prepared from 1b methyl ester upon reaction with Na15NO2. 4 methyl ester (14% yield) was also obtained from 1a methyl ester along with the nitrated hydroperoxy derivative 3a methyl ester (10% yield). Under the same conditions, 2a/b methyl esters gave mainly the corresponding nitrated derivatives 5a/b, with no detectable breakdown products, whereas the model compound (E,E)-2,4-hexadienol (6) afforded two main nitrated derivatives identified as 7 and 8. A reaction pathway for 1a/b methyl esters was proposed involving conversion of nitronitrosooxyhydro(pero)xy intermediates which would partition between two competing routes, viz., loss of HNO2, to give 3a/b methyl esters, and a remarkably facile fission leading to 4 methyl ester and hexanal.     

Reactions of arylaldehydes and N-sulfonated imines with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate catalyzed by nitrogen and phosphine lewis bases

[reaction: see text] In the reaction of arylaldehydes or N-sulfonated imines (0.5 mmol) with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD) (0.6 mmol) catalyzed by pyridine or DMAP (20 mol %), we found that (E)-2-aryl-but-2-enedioic acid dimethyl ester 1 or (E)-2-[aryl-(toluene-4-sulfonylimino)methyl]-but-2-enedioic acid dimethyl ester 2 was formed in good yields at 60 degrees C in THF. A plausible mechanism has been proposed.     

Fragmentation of trimethylsilyl derivatives of 2-alkoxyphenols: A further violation of the ‘even-electron rule’

The mass spectra of trimethylsilyl (TMS) ethers of 2-methoxyphenols show abundant [M–30]⁺˙ ions originating from consecutive loss of two methyl radicals. This is illustrated by comparison of the accurate mass-measured and linked-scan spectra of the TMS derivatives of 2-methoxyphenol (guaiacol), 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde (vanillin) and 3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid methyl ester (ferulic acid methyl ester) with those of the TMS derivatives of phenol, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid methyl ester (p-coumaric acid methyl ester), 3-methoxyphenol and 4-methoxyphenol. This distinctive ortho effect is valuable in the identification of isomeric phenolic compounds. In the spectra of the TMS derivatives of 2-ethoxyphenol and 2-propoxyphenol the sequential loss of two radicals is less pronounced, because elimination of the side-chain and a methyl group with rearrangement and hydrogen migration is competitive.     

A new eudesmane derivative and a new fatty acid ester from Sambucus williamsii

1,4,13-Trihydroxy-eudesm-11(12)-ene, a new eudesmane derivative (3), (9E)-8,11,12-trihydroxyoctadecenoic acid methyl ester, a new fatty acid ester (2) and tianshic acid (1) were obtained from the stems of Sambucus williamsii. Their structures were elucidated by physiochemical properties and spectroscopic analysis. Both compounds 1 and 2 showed stimulating effects on alkaline phosphatase activity of the osteoblastic UMR106 cell about 1.5 fold at 30 mumol/l while they had no effects on cell proliferation.     

Heterocyclization of 1,1-dicyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)ethylenes with 1,3,3-trimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline and its derivatives

1,3,3-Trimethyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines react with 1,1-dicyano-2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)ethylene to give 4-amino-6,6-dimethyl-2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)-3-cyano-6,7-dihydro-2H-benzo[a]quinolizines. The reaction of 3,3-dimethyl-1-cyanomethylidene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline and the methyl ester of 3,3-dicyano-2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid leads to 5,5-dimethyl-3-oxo-2-(trifluoromethyl)-2-(dicyanomethyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-a]isoquinoline.A.

Sulfur derivatives of 1-methylpyrrole

Metalation of 1-methylpyrrole using n-butyllithium and tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) in ether furnished 1-methyl-2-pyrrolyllithium, which in turn was converted to 1-methyl-2-methylthiopyrrole upon treatment with dimethyldisulfide. Further formylation with dimethylformamide, phosphorus oxychloride in dichloroethane led to the corresponding pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde, which was then condensed with malononitrile and methylcyanoacetate under Knoevenagel reaction conditions to give 2-cyano-3-(1-methyl-5-methylthio-2-pyrrolyl)acrylonitrile and 2-cyano-3-(1-methyl-5-methylthio-2-pyrrolyl)acrylic acid methyl ester, respectively. Their oxidation by hydrogen peroxide furnished the corresponding sulfones. Analogously, 5-phenylthio derivatives were prepared.     

A catalytic asymmetric synthesis of chiral glycidic acid derivatives through chiral dioxirane-mediated catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of cinnamic acid derivatives

A novel and practical asymmetric synthesis of chiral glycidic acid derivatives involving methyl (2R,3S)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)glycidate ((2R,3S)-2a), a key intermediate for diltiazem hydrochloride (1), was developed. Treatment of methyl (E)-4-methoxycinnamate ((E)-3a) with chiral dioxirane, generated in situ from a catalytic amount (5 mol %) of an 11-membered C(2)-symmetric binaphthyl ketone (R)-7a, provided (2R,3S)-2a in 92% yield and 80% ee. Other cinnamic acid esters and amides were epoxidized by the use of the same procedure to give the corresponding chiral glycidic acid derivatives with up to 95% yield and 92% ee. Higher enantioselectivities in the asymmetric epoxidation of (E)-cinnamates than that of (E)-stilbene derivatives were observed and were proposed to be attributed to a dipole-dipole repulsion between oxygen atoms of an ester group in the cinnamates and those of the lactone moieties in the binaphthyl dioxirane.     

On the mechanism of isomerization reactions in the esters of some simple α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids

It is shown from a detailed examination of first field free region metastable peak shapes that the molecular ion of the methyl ester of acrylic acid rearranges into 2- and 3-butenoic acid ions prior to metastable fragmentations involving the losses of H₂O, CH₃˙ and CO. The key intermediate ion in this ester-acid isomerization is shown to be the enol form of ionized γ-butyrolactone. The C-5 homologues methylmethacrylate and ethylacrylate display a similar mechanism for H₂O loss, but the loss of CH₃˙ shows additional mechanistic complexities. It was shown from the metastable peak shapes of ¹³C and deuterium labelled compounds that the larger part of the methyl loss does not occur from acid type ions, but directly from methyl substituted enol ions of γ-butyrolactone. The mechanistic proposals also account for the presence of a pronounced loss of CH₃˙ from the isomeric ester methylcrotonate and the absence of H₂O loss in both methylcrotonate and the methyl ester of 3-butenoic acid.     

First synthesis of 2-[alkylamino(diethoxyphosphoryl)methyl]acrylic ethyl esters

Stereospecific preparation of (Z)- and (E)-2,3-difluoro-3-stannylacrylic ester synthons and a new, efficient stereospecific route to (Z)- and (E)-2,3-difluoroacrylic esters

[reaction: see text] The (Z)-2,3-difluoro-3-stannylacrylic ester is readily prepared from (Z)-1,2-difluorovinyltriethylsilane via stereospecific stannyl/silyl exchange with KF/(Bu3Sn)2O or Bu3SnCl in DMF at 70 degrees C. The corresponding (E)-2,3-difluoro-3-stannylacrylate is prepared by stereospecific carbonylation of (E)-1,2-difluorovinyl iodide followed by low temperature/in situ stannylation of the resultant (Z)-2,3-difluoroacrylic ester. With Cu(I) iodide and Pd(PPh3)4 catalysis, the (Z)- and (E)-stannylacrylate esters readily couple with aryl iodides and vinyl bromides, as well as 2-iodothiophene, at room temperature to stereospecifically produce the respective (E)- and (Z)-2,3-difluoro-3-aryl substituted acrylic esters or conjugated dienes in high yields.
