Formal Total Synthesis of Palmerolide A

A formal total synthesis of the 20‐membered marine macrolide, palmerolide A from chiral pool tartaric acid is described. Elaboration of a γ‐hydroxy amide, which is derived from the desymmetrization of tartaric acid amide, and Boord olefination are the pivotal reactions employed for the synthesis of the chiral building blocks, and Stille coupling and ring‐closing metathesis (RCM) are used to assemble the macrolactone.

Assignment of Relative Configuration of Desoxypropionates by 1H NMR Spectroscopy: Method Development,Proof of Principle by Asymmetric Total Synthesis of Xylarinic Acid A and Applications

The determination of the relative configuration of 1,3‐dimethyl‐substituted alkyl chains is possible by interpretation of ¹H NMR shift differences. Additionally, assignments are feasible in a variety of deuterated solvents, because the corresponding shift differences are not significantly influenced by the solvent. The trends for Δδ values depending on functional groups adjacent to the stereogenic centers are shown. Based on a thorough comparison with literature data, the relative configuration of natural products can be predicted. For this purpose, we derived an empirical rule for the ranges in which Δδ values usually occur. Furthermore, we were able to proof the validity of our method by the successful prediction of the relative configuration for the polyketide natural product xylarinic acid A, which was confirmed by the asymmetric total synthesis of its enantiomer. Based on the proposed simple analysis of published ¹H NMR data and the determination of the relevant chemical‐shift differences, we predicted the relative configurations of several previously unassigned natural products.     

Further monoterpene chromane esters from Peperomia obtusifolia: VCD determination of the absolute configuration of a new diastereomeric mixture

A reinvestigation of the monoterpene chromane ester enriched fraction from Peperomia obtusifolia using chiral chromatography led to the identification of a minor peak, which was elucidated by NMR and HRMS as fenchyl-3,4-dihydro-5-hydroxy-2,7-dimethyl-8-(3″-methyl-2″-butenyl)-2-(4′-methyl-1′,3′-pentadienyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carboxylate, the same structure assigned to two other fenchyl esters described previously, pointing out a stereoisomeric relationship among them. Further NMR analysis revealed that it was actually a mixture of two compounds, whose absolute configurations were determined by VCD measurements. Although, almost no vibrational transitions could be assigned to the chiral chromane, the experimental VCD spectrum was largely opposite to that obtained for the average experimental VCD [(2S,1?R,2?R,4?S + 2R,1?R,2?R,4?S)/2] for fenchol derivatives. These results allowed us to assign the putative compounds as a racemic mixture of the chiral chromane esterified with the monoterpene (1S,2S,4R)-fenchol, which had not been identified in our early work.

A concise total synthesis of (+)-deoxocassine (1) and (−)-deoxoprosophylline (2) has been achieved for the first time from d-xylose. The key steps involved in these synthesis are alkyl Grignard reaction, S_N2 substitution of mesylate by azide, Wittig reaction, and reductive amination.     

Ionic Liquids for and by Analytical Spectroscopy

Abstract

In this mini‐review we highlight two aspects of ionic liquids that to date have either no or limited studies. They are (1) exploitation of unique features of ionic liquids to develop novel spectroscopic methods and (2) development of novel spectroscopic methods, for the sensitive and accurate determination of thermal physical properties of ionic liquids. In the first category, we will describe several novel methods which were developed utilizing unique properties of ionic liquids for measurements which are not possible otherwise. They include the sensitive and accurate method to determine enantiomeric compositions of a variety of pharmaceutical products with different size, shape, and functional groups. This method is based on the use of a chiral IL which serves both as a solvent and also as a chiral selector. Ionic liquids have also been successfully used to substantially enhance the sensitivity of thermal lens measurements. In the second category, we will describe recent development in which transient grating technique and thermal lens technique have been successfully used for the sensitive, accurate, nondestructive determination of thermal physical properties of ILs.
