Novel optically active 1,3-aminoalcohols derived from D-glucal

A series of ethyl(phenyl) 6-amino-2,3,6-trideoxy--D-glucopyranosides (amino=piperidino (Pip), pyrrolidino (Pyr), azetidino (Az), Bu₂N) have been prepared from tri-O-acetyl-D-glucal to obtain catalysts for asymmetric synthesis and the starting compounds for the syntheses of other bidentate ligands.Published in Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 45–52, January, 2000.     

Synthesis of 2-Oxazolines from Ring Opening Isomerization of 3-Amido-2-Phenyl Azetidines

Chiral 2-oxazolines are valuable building blocks and famous ligands for asymmetric catalysis. The most common synthesis involves the reaction of an amino alcohol with a carboxylic acid. In this paper, an efficient synthesis of 2-oxazolines has been achieved via the stereospecific isomerization of 3-amido-2-phenyl azetidines. The reactions were studied in the presence of both Brønsted and Lewis acids, and Cu(OTf)₂ was found to be the most effective.     

Chemistry of phosphorus ylides: Part 45 synthesis of phosphoranylidene,thietane, azetidine and thiazinane derivatives as potent chemo preventative agents

Reactions of nucleophilic active phosphacumulenes with iso(thio)cyanate compounds were performed. The reaction products depend on the nature of the reagent, substrate and the condition of the reaction used. New heterocyclic 4-membered or 6-membered sulfur and nitrogen compounds such as phosphoranylidene thietane, azetidine and thiazinane were obtained. On the other hand, the stable phosphonium ylides with the iso(thio)cyanate afforded phosphoranylidene thiocarbamoyl derivatives. Possible reaction mechanisms are considered and the structural assignments are based on compatible analytical and spectroscopic data.

Theoretical Study on the Photo-Oxidation and Photoreduction of an Azetidine Derivative as a Model of DNA Repair

Photocycloreversion plays a central role in the study of the repair of DNA lesions, reverting them into the original pyrimidine nucleobases. Particularly, among the proposed mechanisms for the repair of DNA (6-4) photoproducts by photolyases, it has been suggested that it takes place through an intermediate characterized by a four-membered heterocyclic oxetane or azetidine ring, whose opening requires the reduction of the fused nucleobases. The specific role of this electron transfer step and its impact on the ring opening energetics remain to be understood. These processes are studied herein by means of quantum-chemical calculations on the two azetidine stereoisomers obtained from photocycloaddition between 6-azauracil and cyclohexene. First, we analyze the efficiency of the electron-transfer processes by computing the redox properties of the azetidine isomers as well as those of a series of aromatic photosensitizers acting as photoreductants and photo-oxidants. We find certain stereodifferentiation favoring oxidation of the cis-isomer, in agreement with previous experimental data. Second, we determine the reaction profiles of the ring-opening mechanism of the cationic, neutral, and anionic systems and assess their feasibility based on their energy barrier heights and the stability of the reactants and products. Results show that oxidation largely decreases the ring-opening energy barrier for both stereoisomers, even though the process is forecast as too slow to be competitive. Conversely, one-electron reduction dramatically facilitates the ring opening of the azetidine heterocycle. Considering the overall quantum-chemistry findings, N,N-dimethylaniline is proposed as an efficient photosensitizer to trigger the photoinduced cycloreversion of the DNA lesion model.
