Synthesis of Derivatives of ω-Isocyanato-α-methylamino, ω-Ureido-α-methylamino, and Nα-Methyl-α, ω-diamino Acids

 Homochiral N^α-methyl-2,3-diaminopropionic and N^α-methyl-2,4-diaminobutyric acid derivatives 8a,b were obtained via a stereoconservative four-step synthesis starting from hexafluoroacetone protected L-aspartic and L-glutamic acid 2a,b, respectively. Hexafluoroacetone protected ω-isocyanato-α-methylamino acids 4a,b– the key intermediates of the synthesis – are versatile building blocks for amino acid and peptide modification and promising candidates for combinatorial chemistry. Upon reaction with alcohols, compounds 4 give activated N ^ω-urethane protected ω-amino-α-methylamino acid derivatives 5–7; upon reaction with amines, ω-ureido-α-methylamino acid derivatives 10–12 and 3-methylamino-pyrrolidin-2-ones 13 are available.     

Ab Initio Study of Prednisolone, 6α-Fluoroprednisolone, 9α-Fluoroprednisolone,and 6α,9α-Difluoroprednisolone

A theoretical study of prednisolone, 6-fluoroprednisolone, 9-fluoroprednisolone, and 6,9-difluoroprednisolone has been performed at the ab initio HF/6-31G, MP2/6-31G, and B3LYP/6-31G levels. Structural information and the electronic features of prednisolone and its derivatives and the synergistic effect of 6,9-difluoroprednisolone was examined. Contrary to the AM1 and MNDO results, we found 9-fluoroprednisolone is more stable than the 6-fluoroprednisolone. The increased corticosteroid activity of the 6,9-difluoroprednisolone is most likely due to electronic effects, mainly related to the receptor binding.     

Metal-free base-promoted sulfenylation for the synthesis of α-arylthio-α,β-unsaturated ketones

A new sulfenylation reaction has been established, stereoselectively affording 37 examples of α-arylthio-α,β-unsaturated ketones with generally good yields via a metal-free three-component reaction of α-thiocyanate ketones with diaryliodonium salts and 1,2-dicarbonyls. The reaction enabled multiple bond-forming events including C(sp²)–S formation to provide a high-efficient and practical method toward α-arylthio-α,β-unsaturated ketones. The reasonable mechanism for forming α-arylthio-α,β-unsaturated ketones was proposed.

Synthesis of symmetrical acetylenic hydrocarbons and their α,ω-di-derivatives from α,α,α-trichloro- and α,α,α,ω-tetrachloro-alkanes

Summary By the action of sodium in xylene on polychloro hydrocarbons containing -CCl₂-CCl₂- or- CC1=CC1-, groupings the corresponding symmetrical acetylenic hydrocarbons containing 10,14, and 18 carbon atoms in the molecule were obtained. From ,-disubstituted tetrachloroalkanes by the same method 1,10-diethoxy-5-decyne, 1,14-diethoxy-7-tetradecyne, and 1,14-bisdiethylamino-7-tetradecyne were obtained.The spectra were determined in the Optical Laboratory of the Institute of Heteroorganic Compounds of the USSR by N. A. Chumaevskii, who we thank.     

Conformation of α,α,α′-Trisubstituted Cyclododecanone

Ten α,α,α′-trisubstituted cyclododecanones were synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, infrared, 1^H NMR and 13^C NMR spectra, and X-ray diffraction. NMR data could not give conformational information clearly, but some of their ring skeleton conformations of cyclododecanone moiety were showed to remain the unchanged [3333]-2-one conformation with little distortion, while the others were changed to the [3324]-2-one conformation in their crystal structures. These are consistent with the results of molecular mechanics calculation with Sybyl 6.9 software and Tripos force field, and semi-empirical quantum calculation with AM 1 method in Gaussian 98 software. Two geminal substituting groups are located at α-corner carbon atom, and the third group is at α-side-exo carbon atom in both conformations. Both [3333]-2-one and [3324]-2-one conformations are present in a dynamic equilibrium in the solution, but only one preferred conformation exists in the crystal solid.     

Automatic assembly of skeleton structures. 3. Stereoselective synthesis,stereochemistry, and cyclization ofd,l-α,α'-dioxy-α,α'-di-tert-butylglutaric acid

Stereoselective synthesis of d,l-,-dioxy-,-di-tert-butylglutaric acid hydroxyiminolactonitrile (3) was conducted by the reaction of dipivaloylmethane with HCN in ether. The corresponding hydroxylacetonitrile (4) and amide (5), acid (6), and its ester (7), from which dilactone (8) was synthesized with preparative yields, were obtained from3. Benzyl amide (9) was obtained by the reaction of8 with BnNH₂. The iminolactone structure3 of dipivaloylmethane bis-cyanohyrin, thecis-pseudo-a orientation of the functional substituents in3–7 and9, and the structure of the dilactone8 were confirmed by the¹H,¹³C NMR,IR and mass spectra.For previous communication, see [2].N.

Synthesis of α-halo-α,α-difluoromethyl ketones by a trifluoroacetate release/halogenation protocol

Three series of α-halo-α,α-difluoromethyl ketones are prepared from highly α-fluorinated gem-diols by exploiting the facile release of trifluoroacetate, followed by immediate trapping of the liberated α,α-difluoroenolate with an electrophilic chlorine, bromine, or iodine source. The products are typically isolated in good yields, even in the case of sensitive, α-iodo-α,α-difluoromethyl ketones. Also, we demonstrate that an α-iodo-α,α-difluoromethyl ketone will participate in a copper-promoted reaction to forge a new carbon-carbon bond.     

Ionic liquid-promoted Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement of 16α,17α-epoxyandrostanes and 16α,17α-epoxyestranes

Ionic liquids 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([bmim](+)[PF(6)](-)) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate ([bmim](+)[BF(4)](-)) were found to promote an unusual Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement of steroidal 16α,17α-epoxides leading to unnatural 13-epi-18-nor-16-one derivatives as the main products. These compounds were isolated in good to excellent yields. 16α-Hydroxy-Δ(13)-18-norsteroids, the results of the usual rearrangement, were obtained as minor components of the reaction mixtures. The ionic liquid [bmim](+)[PF(6)](-) was shown to induce C-ring aromatization of 16α,17α-epoxyestranes due to the formation of HF, the hydrolysis product of [PF(6)](-). Increasing amounts of HF and [PO(2)F(2)](-) were detected by (19)F and (31)P NMR when the ionic liquid was reused. The structures of the steroidal products, 16-oxo-18-nor-13α-steroid derivatives, 16α-hydroxy-Δ(13)-18-norsteroids, and C-aromatic compounds were determined by two-dimensional NMR techniques and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS). The ionic liquids were recirculated efficiently.

N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed reactions of α-bromo-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes/α,β-dibromoaldehydes with 1,3-dinucleophilic reagents

Carbenes ring true: N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalyzed reactions of α-bromo-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes/α,β-dibromoaldehydes with 1,3-dinucleophilic reagents, such as 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, β-enamino ketones, and β-enamino esters through umpolung processes gave functionalized 3,4-dihydropyranones and 3,4-dihydropyridinones. The availability of the starting materials, lack of external oxidant, and usefulness of the products make this strategy attractive.     

Luminescence Properties of Terbium-, Cerium-, or Europium-Doped α-Sialon Materials

New interesting luminescent α-sialon (M_(m/val+)^val+ Si_12-(m+n) Al_(m+n)OnN_(16−n)) (M=Ca, Y) materials doped with Ce, Tb, or Eu have been prepared and their luminescence properties studied. These show that Tb and Ce are in the 3+ and Eu in the 2+ state. Low-energy 4f↔5d transitions are observed as compared to the luminescence of these ions doped in oxidic host-lattices. This is partially explained by the nitrogen-rich coordination of the rare-earth ion and partially by the narrow size of the lattice site. The latter gives rise to a strong crystal-field splitting of the 5d band and a rather large Stokes shift for Ce³⁺ and Eu²⁺ (6500-7500 and 7000-8000 cm⁻¹, respectively). For (Y,Tb)-α-sialon the Tb³⁺ 4f→5d excitation band (∼260 nm) is in the low-energy host-lattice absorption band (?290 nm), giving rise to a strong absorption for 254-nm excitation, but a low quantum efficiency. The latter is due to photoionization processes or selective excitation of Tb³⁺ at the defect-rich surface, resulting in radiationless transitions. Ce- and Eu-doped Ca-α-sialon show bright long-wavelength luminescence (maxima at 515-540 and 560-580 nm for Ce and Eu, respectively) with a high quantum efficiency and high absorption for 365- and 254-nm excitation. The Eu²⁺ emission intensity and absorption increases for increasing m, which is explained by the Eu²⁺ richer α-sialon composition. The position of the Eu^2α emission does not shift with changing composition of the host-lattice (m, n values), indicating that the local coordination of the Eu²⁺ ion is hardly dependent on the matrix composition.

α,α-Difluoro-α-phenylsulfanyl-α-trimethylsilylmethane as a difluoromethyl building block: A general strategy to α,α-difluoromethyl aryl ketones

The synthetic utility of α,α-difluoro-α-phenylsulfanyl-α-trimethylsilylmethane (PhSCF₂SiMe₃; 1) as a difluoromethyl building block providing a general strategy to α,α-difluoromethyl aryl ketones was demonstrated. Oxidation, by using m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid, of the readily available 1-aryl-2,2-difluoro-2-phenylsulfanyl-1-trimethylsiloxyethanes obtained from fluoride-catalyzed nucleophilic addition of PhSCF₂SiMe₃ with aromatic aldehydes followed by flash vacuum pyrolytic elimination provided α,α-difluoromethyl aryl ketones in moderate overall yields.
