First Total Synthesis of 5_α-Hydroxy-isopterocarpolone

Sesquiterpenic compounds of the Eudesmane family have attracted considerable attention due to their intriguing biological properties1,2, particularly significant antifeedant activity, cell growth inhibitory and plant growth regulating activities.In 1996, J. Hu and co-workers3 had isolated eudesmane sesquiterpene 5?-hydroxy-isopterocarpolone 1 from the aerial parts of chinese folk medicine Artemisia eriopoda and elucidated its structure by spectropic methods. Herein, we reported the first tota…     

Cosolvent Effect on the Tautomerism of Ethyl Acetoacetate in Supercritical CO_2

There are some unique advantages for chemical reactions in SCFs. For example, reaction rates, yields, and selectivity can be tuned by pressure or small amount of cosolvent. SCFs can be used to replace environmentally undesirable solvents. It is not surprised that in recent years the use of SCFs as solvents for chemical reaction media has received much attention. However, mechanism for the effect of pressure and cosolvents on chemical reactions is not very clear. Tautomeric reactions are id…     

Synthesis of Novel Chiral Diol Ligands for the Enantioselective Reactions

The chiral diols ((,(,((,((-Tetraaryl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5-dimethanols) have been used for the formation of cyclic titanates and similar derivatives of Mg, Al and Zr. These complexes of oxophilic metal centers were employed in catalytic and stiochiometric enantioselective reactions such as enantioselective addition reactions of carbon-centered nucleophiles to aldehydes1, [2+2] cycloadditions2, and Diels-Alder reactions3. So far, the two hydrogen atoms of all this type of diols are in trans form…     

Mono-Allylation of Gem-Diacetates with Allylsamarium Bromide

Our group have explored the reaction of allylsamarium bromide with a variety of substrates, such as N-(2-aminoalkyl)benzotriazoles1, imines2, nitriles3, diorgano diselenides4, disulfides5, isocyanates6 and nitroalkenes7. Here we wish to report the monoallylation of gem-diacetates with allylsamarium bromide. Gem-diacetates are stable in neutral and basic media, thus they are frequently used to protect aldehydes8. However, the presence of two leaving groups at the same carbon may make carbon …     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of 1,2,4,6-Tetraphenyl-2-hydroxy-8-azabicycle[3,2,1]octane

1 INTRODUCTIONAtrope alkaloids, which exist in eggplant plants, such as atrope and scopolamine, are used as a series of important drugs in medical science [1,2]. The typical character of atrope alkaloid is that these compounds contain the main skeleton of 8-azabicycle[3,2,1]octane , which results in the very complicated synthetic routine[3]. During our research for the reaction of 1,3,5,7-tetraphenyl-4- nitro-1,7-heptadione with low-valent titanium reagent, we easily synthesized the title …     

Two New Compounds from Goniothalamus Cheliensis Hu

Goniothalamus cheliensis Hu (Annonaceace) is a small tree or shrub in Yunnan Province, southwest of China. Acetogenins, styryllactones and alkaloids1-3 from the genus were reported in the previous literature and many of them showed strong cytotoxic activities against a number of human cancer cell lines4. The titled plant has been the subject of our investigation due to the impressive cytotoxicity of its organic extract against mouse lymphocytic leukemia cells in preliminary pharmacological s…     

Synthesis and Structure of E-2-(2,4,6-tri tert butylphenylphosphinyl)-2-〔N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N-(p-chrolophenyl)〕amino-1-(2,4,6-tri tert-butyl-phenyl)phosphacthylene

1　INTRODUCTIONItwaswellknown thatelementsofthesecondary and higherrow are in generaldifficulty to form multiplebondsin which apπ hybridized stateisinvolved〔1〕.Thus,simple compounds containing multiple phosphorus carbon bonds,such as methyl dynephosphine( HC≡P) 〔2 - 3〕 and methylenephosphine( H2 C=PH〔4〕,are notstableat room temperature.Three methods to stabilize compounds containing double ormultiple bond involving phosphorusatom in the pπ hybridized state are often used.The f…

Site-specifically Hydrolytic Cleavage of Oxidized Insulin B Chain With Cu(II) Ion

Selectively chemical cleavage of peptides and proteins is one of the most important reactions in both chemical and biochemical processes. Over the past decade, the interaction of palladium(II) complexes with methionine, cysteine and histidine-containing peptides and proteins and the hydrolytic cleavage of the corresponding amide bond by Pd(II) complexes have been extensively studied1-13. However, reports concerning the directly selective hydrolysis of peptides and proteins with other simple …     

A New ent-Kaurane Diterpenoid from Isodon enanderianus

Isodon enanderianus (Hand. -Mazz.) H. W. Li, has been used in folk medicine as anti-inflammatory and detoxified agent1. The Isodon genus is known to be rich in ent-kaurane diterpenoids, a series of new ent-kaurane diterpenoids have been isolated from the dried leaves of I. enanderianus2-4. In order to find more biologically active substances, we have carefully investigated the chemical constituents of I. enanderianus collected in Shiping county of Yunnan province, and as a result, enanderi…
