Selective monotetrahydropyranylation of symmetrical diols using P_20_5/Si0_2 under solvent-free conditions and their depyranylation

Selective protection of one of the hydroxyl group in 1,n-symmetrical diols is achieved by P_2O_2/SiO_2-catalyzed reaction of the diol with dihydropyran under solvent-free conditions at room temperature.This selective protection is simple and it occurred under economically cheap conditions in high yield.The deprotected diol is simply obtained by refluxing of this compound in methanol using the same catalyst without any byproduct formation or additional purifications.

Hydrogen peroxide-or sodium hypochlorite-induced bromination of 1-arylbut-2-enes

Bromination of 1-arylbut-2-enes in the system [HBr or NaBr (KBr)-HX]-H₂O₂ (or NaOCl) under relatively mild conditions leads to electrophilic addition of bromine or hypobromous acid at the side-chain double bond. Under more severe conditions, the process is accompanied by bromination of the aromatic ring. Treatment of the title compounds with peroxy acids (RCOOH-H₂O₂) gives the corresponding epoxy derivatives which react with HBr and oxygen-containing nucleophiles to produce α-bromo alcohols, diols, and diol acetates.

Protection of the carbonyl groups in 1,2-indanedione: propellane versus acetal formation

The product resulting from the reaction between 1,2-indanedione and ethylene glycol under acidic catalysis is 2,5,7,10-tetraoxapropellane and not 1,2-dispirane as previously reported. Similar reactions also occur with 2-mercaptoethanol and 1,2-ethanedithiol, which form analogous propellanes and not corresponding thioacetals. This explains the difficulty of removing the protective groups under acidic conditions. These findings were corroborated by quantum chemical calculations. Under similar conditions, the longer-chain diol, 1,3-propyleneglycol and its thiol-analogue, 1,3-propanedithiol, form only mono-acetals, even when a 3-fold excess of the diol is applied. The nucleophilic attack, however, takes place at different positions: while propanedithiol forms the acetal at c-1, propylene glycol forms the acetal at c-2.     

Theoretical investigations of 1,4‐butanediol and 2‐butene‐1,4‐diol cyclodehydration using postprocessing visualization of quantum chemical calculation data

Cyclodehydration of 1,4‐butanediol and 2‐butene‐1,4‐diol to the corresponding cyclic ethers was studied using the AM1 semiempirical method. It was established that the cyclodehydration reaction of 1,4‐butenediol and 2‐butene‐1,4‐diol is effected by converting of semicyclic conformers in the presence of acidic and basic active centers. The calculation results indicate that a concerted mechanism is probably realized in the cyclodehydration of both diols, while the sequences of the predicted steps in the cyclodehydration reaction for 1,4‐butanediol and 2‐butene‐1,4‐diol are different. The calculated reaction heats for 1,4‐butanediol and 2‐butene‐1,4‐diol transformations are ?184.029 and ?308.746 kcal/mol, respectively. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J Quantum Chem, 2002

A Novel Chemoselective Reaction of Aldehydes with 2‐Mercaptoethanol Catalyzed by SiO2‐NaHSO4 under Solvent‐free Condition

An efficient and user‐friendly procedure has been developed for the chemoselective protection of aldehyde carbonyl groups such as bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)dithioacetals with 2‐mercaptoethanol catalyzed by silica‐supported sodium bisulphate under solvent‐free conditions. It has been shown that a variety of aldehydes can expeditiously undergo this reaction to produce their corresponding dithioacetals with impressive yields at room temperature.     

A consecutive approach towards the stereoselective synthesis of trisubstituted THF domains

A highly efficient, consecutive approach for the construction of synthetically valued, enantiomerically pure, trisubstituted THF domains 3–10 in a stereoselective manner starting from glycal derived allylic alcohols 1a–1d under Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation (SAE) conditions is reported. The reaction involves the intramolecular asymmetric ring opening (ARO) of in situ formed enantiopure 2,3-epoxy alcohols followed by protection of the diol.     

Asymmetric alkyldifluoroboranes and their use in secondary amine synthesis

[reaction: see text] Asymmetric diol boronic esters with potassium bifluoride form the corresponding alkyltrifluoroborate and free diol under mild conditions. Defluoridation with tetrachlorosilane produces an alkyldifluoroborane intermediate. This conversion of relatively unreactive boronic esters to derivatives that are strong Lewis acids opens new synthetic opportunities, as illustrated by the preparation of (R)-2-phenylpyrrolidine in 98% ee from a pinanediol or 1,2-dicyclohexyl-1,2-ethanediol boronic ester via potassium (2-phenyl-4-azidobutyl)trifluoroborate.     

Reactions at Only One of Two Equivalent Functional Groups

A common problem encountered by synthetic chemists is to carry out a reaction at just one of two similar functional groups in the substrate molecule. Examples include protection/deprotection of just one hydroxyl group in a diol, addition to only one carbonyl of a diketone, etc. The problem, as depicted below, is to find conditions which maximize formation of the monoproduct (XP) while minimizing the amounts of diproduct (P₂) and starting material (X₂).     

Total Synthesis of (−)-Lepadin F based on a Stereoselective Diels–Alder Reaction Controlled by a Ketolactone-type Dienophile

An efficient approach to the type III lepadin alkaloids (lepadins F and G) has been developed through a key Diels–Alder reaction, in which a novel ketolactone-type dienophile with chiral diol unit is employed to generate the desirable all-cis-trisubstituted cyclohexene with excellent regio- and stereoselectivity control. The subsequent selective sulfonylation of the diol unit followed by S_N2 cyclization under hydrogenation conditions could construct the substituted piperidine ring. By using this approach, (−)-lepadin F is synthesized from ethyl l -lactate for the first time.     

Building carbohydrates on the dioxanone scaffold: stereoselective synthesis of d-glycero-d-manno-2-octulose

The title compound has been synthesized via two proline-catalyzed aldol addition reactions of 2,2-dialkyl-1,3-dioxan-5-ones: the first addition to 1,3-dithiane-2-carboxaldehyde, followed by reduction to the corresponding diol, protection of the OH groups and dithiane hydrolysis afforded a protected d-ribose that was used in the second aldol addition reaction.     

Wacker oxidation methodology for the synthesis of the benzo-fused acetal core of marticin

Methodology for the synthesis of the benzo-fused acetal core of marticin is described in this paper. Condensation of readily available 1-(2-allyl-3,6-dimethoxyphenyl)ethanone with diethyl oxalate under Claisen condensation conditions furnished (Z)-ethyl 4-(2-allyl-3,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-2-hydroxy-4-oxobut-2-enoate. Treatment of this with LiAlH₄ resulted in the formation of the diol, 1-(2-allyl-3,6-dimethoxyphenyl)-3,4-dihydroxybutan-1-one. Conversion of primary alcohol of the diol into the TBDMS ether followed by further reaction with LiAlH₄ and exposure to Wacker oxidation conditions resulted in the formation of (3,6-dimethoxy-9-methyl-10,13-dioxatricyclo[7.3.1.0^2,7]trideca-2,4,6-trien-11-yl)methanol, the core of marticin.

A two step synthesis of 2-oxo-2-vinyl 1,3,2-dioxaphospholanes and -dioxaphosphorinanes

The title compounds are prepared via a two step procedure involving a transesterification between a diol and diethyl phosphite followed by a palladium-catalyzed coupling of the so-obtained cyclic phosphite with vinyl bromide. Theoretical DFT calculations have been performed on phosphonate and phosphite anions models in order to estimate stereoelectronic effects in five-membered and six-membered ring compounds.     

Selectivity in the Catalytic Hydrogenation of 2-Hydroxycyclohexanone

The catalytic hydrogenation of 2–hydroxycyclohexanone has been investigated on ruthenium, nickel, rhodium, platinum and palladium. The reaction was completed usually within several hours under an atmospheric pressure of hydrogen at room temperature. It was found that ruthenium and nickel catalysts produce more cis–cyclohexane–1, 2–diol than trans-diol; while platinum and palladium catalysts give rise to more trans–diol than cis– form. Two adsorbed models, weak and strong, for the substrate were presented to account for the observed hydrogenation selectivity.
