A Convenient Synthesis of Cephem-1R-sulfoxides

7-Amidocephalosporins are converted to the 7-diacylaminocephalosporins, which are oxidised exclusively to the 7-diacylamino-1α-sulfoxides. These compounds with benzylamine produce the 7-amidocephem-1α-sulfoxides.     

Synthesis and Reactivity of Stannyloligosilanes IV [1]: From Hydrido Substituted Stannasilanes Towards Stannasiloxanes

Summary.  Hydrido substituted stannasilanes of the type or (Z = H, Me, Ph; R, R′ = alkyl, Ph) are accessible by reaction of either alkali metal stannides (MSn(Z)R ₂; M = Li, Na) with halogen substituted silanes (; X = F, Cl) or chlorostannanes (R ₂SnCl₂, Ph₃SnCl) and fluorosilanes in the presence of magnesium. Stannasilanes with halogen substituents at the silicon as well as the tin atom are formed by treatment of the hydrido substituted stannasilanes with CHCl₃ or CCl₄. The hydrido substituted stannasilanes decompose in contact with air to distannanes and siloxanes or to the linear ( ^t Bu₂Sn(–O– ^t Bu₂Si–OH)₂) and cyclic ((– ^t Bu₂Sn–O– ⁱ Pr₂Si–O–)₂) stannasiloxanes.

Convenient Synthesis of 1H-Benzotriazolylalkylphenols

A simple, efficient, and environmentally benign method has been developed for the exclusive formation of synthetically significant 1H-benzotriazol-1-ylalkylphenols from hydroxybenzyl alcohols and benzotriazole.     

A Novel and Convenient Synthesis of Coenzyme Q1

Abstract

A convenient and efficient synthetic route to Coenzyme Q₁ (6) starting from 3,4,5‐trimethoxytoluene (1) is described. The key features of this synthesis include the Diels–Alder reaction of 2,3‐dimethoxy‐l,4‐benzoquinone (3) with cyclopentadiene and the introduction of a C₅ side chain to 4,5‐dimethoxy‐2‐methyltricyclo[6.2.1.0^2,7]undeca‐4,9‐diene‐3,6‐dione (4) under mild conditions, (6) was obtained in overall 60% yield.     

A Convenient Synthesis of Imidazolidin‐4‐ones via Domino Reactions

A series of imidazolidin‐4‐one derivatives was synthesized via a domino reaction of aldiminoesters and dialkylzinc. Chiral ligands were also examined in this reaction to obtain optically active products.     

A Convenient Synthesis of 1-Alkyl-4,4-dimethyl-1,4,5,6-tetrahydropyridines1

An efficient two step synthesis of the title cyclic enamines (I) from 3,4-dihydro-4,4-dimethyl-2H-pyran-2-one (III) is described.     

A Convenient Synthesis of Protoanemonin

Abstract

A new convenient synthesis of protoanemonin (1) starting from 2-deoxy-d-ribose (3) is described. A key step in the sequence is the successive β- and δ-eliminations of 3,5-di-O-p-toluoyl-2-deoxy-d-ribono-1,4-lactone (6).     

A Convenient Synthesis of Tryptamines

Reaction of tosylmethyl isocyanide with substituted formyl indoles gave the nitrile with one more carbon atom. Hydrogenation of this nitrile afforded the corresponding tryptamine.     

A Convenient Synthesis of Thioimidates

Thioimidates are useful reagents in preparative organic chemistry: for example, they are key intermediates for the synthesis of β-lactams bearing a thioether function at position 4, via an “acid chlorideimine” type reaction.¹     

A Convenient Synthesis of Triquinacene

We have recently reported the synthesis of a derivative of triquinacene (2,3-dihydrotriquinacen-2-one (14)⁴) from Thiele's acid (1). Although this new synthetic route is simple in concept, it suffers from a large number of chemical steps. We wish to communicate an important overall simplification of this synthetic scheme which makes readily available triquinacene (22) and several of its derivatives.     

A Convenient Synthesis of Sendaverine

Sendaverine was isolated from Corydalis aurea willd by Manske and it was found to possess a tetrahydro-isoquinoline skeleton¹. The structural formula of the alkaloid has been established by the unambiguous synthesis by Kametani² and Miwako Mori et al.³     

A Convenient Synthesis of O-Alkyl-S-allenyl-Phosphoramidates

Ten title compounds 2a-j were synthesized by utilising mercuric (I) catalyzed thiono-thiolo rearrangement of O-propargyl-O-alkyl-pho-sphoramidothionates (1a-j) in HAc-NaAc buffer (PH=3.6). The yield of compounds 2a-e and 2f-j is 58–67% and 12–41%. This is the example of [3,3]-sigmatropic type rearrangement of 1,5-enyne system in thionop hosphoramidate chemistry.

A series of 1 -ether-sn-2-acylamidoglycerophospholipids, bearing different polar heads in sn-3-position such as phosphoglycol, -serine, -ethanolamine or -choline, have been prepared. Except for the choline derivative which was synthesized from a ß-carbamate alcohol derivative, the remaining compounds were obtained from ß-amidoalcohols.

A Convenient One-Step Gingerol Synthesis

Racemic 6-gingerol can be obtained in a one-pot reaction by hexanal addition to the dianion of zingerone at low temperature. Similarly, addition of octanal or decanal to the dianion provides 8-gingerol or 10-gingerol, respectively. Acid treatment of the gingerols allows for formation of the corresponding shogaols.

A Convenient Synthesis of Diketopyrrolopyrrole Dyes

Diketopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrroles (DPP) are high-performance organic optoelectronic materials. They have applications in solar cells, fluorescent probes, bioimaging, photodynamic/photothermal therapy, and in many other areas. This article reports a convenient two-step synthesis of various DPP dyes from Pigment Red 254, an inexpensive commercial pigment. The synthesis includes a Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of a bis(4-chlorophenyl)DPP derivative with aryl and hetaryl boronic acids under mild reaction conditions. The new dyes show large Stokes shifts and high fluorescence quantum yields, important features for their potential use in technical and biological applications.
