A general methodology for the asymmetric synthesis of 1-deoxyiminosugars

A general methodology for the stereoselective synthesis of 1-deoxymannojirimycin and its three other stereoisomers is described. The achiral olefin 6 was converted through the common olefin intermediate 12 to the target compounds in a highly stereocontrolled manner. The regioselective asymmetric aminohydroxylation (AA) and diastereoselective dihydroxylation reactions were used for the introduction of all four stereocenters in the targets, and the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction was utilized for the construction of the required six-membered ring.     

A complete asymmetric synthesis of polyhydroxypiperidines

A new general methodology for the asymmetric synthesis of polyhydroxypiperidines is described.

Thus, the developed methodology made it possible to install all stereocenters in 1 and 10 in a highly stereocontrolled fashion.

Infrared and Raman spectra of 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide (Hats). Experimental data and quantum chemistry calculations

The infrared and Raman spectra in the range 4000–50 cm⁻¹ were obtained for 5-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-sulfonamide. The molecular geometry was optimized by means of the DFT methods of quantum chemistry (B3LYP/6-31G^**), resulting in a structure which agrees quite well with that obtained by X-ray diffraction. The wavenumbers corresponding to the normal modes of vibration were calculated using the same approximation and the associated force field converted to a set of local symmetry coordinates, with subsequent calculation of the potential energy distribution. An assignment of the observed bands is proposed on the basis of such calculations and the comparison with related molecules.

A simple and efficient approach for the synthesis of a novel class aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives via intramolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction

In this study, we synthesized a new series of substituted aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24) in yields ranging from 42 to 70% with an interesting mechanism that involves internal nucleophilic substitution followed by an S_N2-type nucleophilic substitution. First, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanone (3) was synthesized from the reaction of 5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole-2-thiol (1) with 2-bromo-1-(4-chlorophenyl)ethanone (2) in the presence of potassium hydroxide. Then, 1-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-((5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)thio)ethanol (4) was synthesized by a reduction reaction of this compound using NaBH₄. Finally, 5-methyl-3-alkyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives (6-24), which are the target compounds, were synthesized from the reaction of this compound (4), which is a secondary alcohol with various alkyl halides (5a-n) in the presence of sodium hydride (NaH). This study presents an interesting reaction mechanism related to the synthesis of aliphatic 1,3,4-thiadiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives that is not recorded in the literature.     

A general strategy for the synthesis of azapeptidomimetic lactams

A selection of azapeptidomimetics containing constraining lactam rings have been prepared by Mitsunobu cyclization of serine/homologated serine-azaalanine derivatives. These include sterically-congested β-lactams, as well as γ-butyrolactam and δ-valerolactam analogs. A novel azaamino acid acylation method was developed to prepare the sterically demanding α-benzyl-serine-azaalanine precursor. In all cases, the Mitsunobu conditions were highly efficient in forming the desired azapeptidomimetic lactams. The reported process represents a general strategy for the synthesis of peptidomimetic structures with a constraining lactam ring.

The synthesis of bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-phenylmethyl) sulfides and other related 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from 1,1′-diphenylthiodiacetic acid dihydrazide and triethyl orthoesters

Reactions of symmetrical 1,1′-diphenylthiodiacetic acid dihydrazide and triethyl orthoesters in the presence of catalytic amount of glacial acetic acid resulted in the formation of three heterocyclic products: the appropriate bis(1,3,4-oxadiazol-2-yl-phenylmethyl) sulfides, 2-benzyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles and 2-benzoyl-1,3,4-oxadiazoles. The presence of the latter two compounds is connected with carbon-sulfur fission in the molecule of the starting hydrazide. The identity of the unexpected fission products was confirmed by parallel syntheses of the model 1,3,4-oxadiazoles from phenylacetic acid hydrazide and 2-hydroxymethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives.     

A short and concise asymmetric synthesis of hamigeran B

The interesting biological properties of the hamigerans wherein hamigeran B is a potent antiviral agent with low cytotoxicity to host cells make these deceptively simple looking structures challenging synthetic targets. A strategy to hamigeran B evolved wherein the three contiguous stereocenters are established ultimately from a Pd catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA). The latter involves an asymmetric allylation of a non-stabilized ketone enolate in 77 % yield and 93 % ee. By using this process, (S)-5-allyl-2-isopropyl-5-methyl-1-trifluoromethanesulfonyloxycyclopentene becomes available in four steps from 2-methylcyclopentanone. Introduction of the aryl unit by cross-coupling proceeded intermolecularly but failed intramolecularly. On the other hand, reductive removal of the triflate permitted a Heck reaction to effect intramolecular introduction of the aryl ring. The unusual conformational properties of this molecular architecture are revealed by the regioselectivity of the beta-hydrogen elimination in the Heck reaction and the diastereoselectivity of the reduction establishing the stereochemistry of the carbon bearing the isopropyl group. The successful route consists of 15 steps from 2-methylcyclopentanone and dimethylorcinol illustrating the efficiency of the route based upon the Pd AAA.     

Phenols-useful templates for the synthesis of bi-functional orthogonally protected dendron building blocks via solid phase Mitsunobu reaction

Bi-functional dendritic building blocks for convergent dendrimer growth were successfully synthesized from phenolic templates in the solid phase via a Mitsunobu reaction. Each arm of the dendron building block carries an orthogonally protected secondary amine along the arm, and a peripheral primary amine or phenol group (building block type 1) or a tertiary amine junction with orthogonally protected peripheral primary amine or carboxyl groups (building block type 2). The synthetic routes reported in this work are general and applicable for the preparation of diverse building blocks, controlling protection, arm length, and peripheral moieties. These novel dendron units can form unusual dendritic architectures by solid-phase chemistry, which may be incorporated into specific complex structures expanding the scope of dendrimer science.
