Tertiary phosphine complexes of cyclopentadienylmolybdenum carbonyl halides. Stereoselective syntheses and isomer separations

Pure cis and trans isomers of CpMo(CO)₂(L)X (Cp = η⁵-C₅H₅, L = PPh₃ or PBu₃, X = Br, or I) have been separated by chromatography and characterized by infrared and proton NMR spectroscopy. The reactions of trans-CpMo(CO)₂(L)CH₃ with HgX₂ (X = Cl, Br, I, SCN) afford cis-CpMo(CO)₂(L)X in high yield. Both linkage isomers are obtained in the reaction with Hg(SCN)₂, L = PPh₃. The mercuric halides react with CpMo(CO)₂(L)COCH₃ to form the metalmetal bonded derivatives trans-CpMo(CO)₂(L)HgX. Reactions of CpMo(CO)₂(L)CH₃ or CpMo(CO)₂(L)COCH₃ with bromine or iodine yield the halide complexes CpMo(CO)₂(L)X (X = Br and I, respectively), the product mixtures containing high proportions of the trans isomers.     

Phosphine-stabilized arsenium salts: water-stable,labile, coordination complexes

A series of air- and water-stable tertiary phosphine-stabilized arsenium salts of the type R(3)P-->AsR(2)(+)PF(6)(-) has been isolated. In the crystal structures of two chiral triarylphosphine complexes of prochiral methylphenylarsenium hexafluorophosphate, the stereochemistry around arsenic is trigonal pyramidal with the phosphorus atom occupying the apical position, the As-P bond being orthogonal to the plane of the trigonal (lone-pair included) arsenium ion: Ph(3)P-->AsMePh(+) PF(6)(-), P2(1)/c, a = 10.7775(2) A, b = 17.7987(3) A, c = 13.3797(2) A, beta = 109.066(1) degrees, V = 2425.78(7) A(3), T = 200 K, Z = 4; Ph(2)(2-MeOC(6)H(4))P-->AsMePh(+) PF(6)(-), P1, a = 10.8077(2) A, b = 10.9741(2) A, c = 13.5648(2) A, alpha = 99.0162(9) degrees, beta = 105.2121(9) degrees, gamma = 116.4717(9) degrees, V = 1318.11(5) A(3), T = 200 K, Z = 2. The arsenium ion in each case appears to be further stabilized by conjugation of the lone pair with the phenyl group, with which the arsenic and methyl-carbon atoms are almost coplanar. In the crystal structure of the 2-(methoxymethylphenyl)diphenylphosphine adduct of methylphenylarsenium hexafluorophosphate, there operates a counteractive chelate effect in which anchimeric oxygen coordination to arsenic destabilizes the arsenic-phosphorus bond in the six-membered chelate ring. Although they are stable, phosphine-stabilized arsenium salts undergo rapid phosphine exchange and attack at arsenic by anionic carbon and oxygen nucleophiles to give tertiary arsines and arsinous acid esters, respectively, with liberation of the phosphine.     

Tertiary phosphine complexes of rhenium: A spectroscopic study

Complexes of the type ReOX₃L₂, ReNX₂L₃, ReX₃(NO)L₂ and ReX₂(NO)L₃ have been studied using, UV visible, IR and H¹, C¹³ NMR spectroscopy. (X is a halogen, Cl, Br, I and L is a tertiary phosphine Et₃P and Et₂PhP). Evidence obtained on the blue cis isomer ReOCl₃L₂ suggests that the halogens are arranged on a face of the octahedral complex. Assignments of v(Re-X) and v(Re-P) vibrations have been made. Three complexes of technetium, [TcCl₄(Ph₃P)₂], [TcCl₃(Et₂PhP)₃] and [TcCl₃(NO)(Et₂PhP)₂] have been isolated.     

Alcohol-assisted phosphine catalysis: one-step syntheses of dihydropyrones from aldehydes and allenoates

This paper describes the phosphine-catalyzed annulation of methyl allenoate with various aromatic aldehydes to form 6-aryl-4-methoxy-5,6-dihydro-2-pyrones. In this reaction, the addition of an alcohol was necessary to induce dihydropyrone formation, with the optimal agent being methanol. Moreover, the addition of n-butyllithium suppressed the formation of the noncyclized product, leading to the exclusive isolation of the dihydropyrone. This method provides an efficient, one-step route toward disubstituted dihydropyrones from simple, stable starting materials.     

Stereocontrolled syntheses of alpha-C-mannosyltryptophan and its analogues

The total synthesis of alpha-C-mannosyltryptophan (C-Man-Trp), a naturally occurring C-glycosylamino acid, was achieved from a commercially available alpha-methyl-D-mannoside in 10 steps including the following key steps: the C-glycosidation of a mannose derivative with a stannylacetylene, Castro indole synthesis, and Sc(ClO4)3-promoted coupling with L-serine-derived aziridine carboxylate. The glucose- and galactose-analogues of C-Man-Trp were also synthesized in a similar manner. Conformational analyses of the synthesized C-glycosyltryptophan and its synthetic intermediate are briefly discussed.     

Phosphatidylinositol mannoside ether analogues: syntheses and interleukin-12-inducing properties

Phosphatidylinositol mannosides (PIMs) isolated from mycobacteria have been identified as an important class of glycolipids with significant immune modulating properties. We present here the syntheses of phosphatidylinositol dimannoside ether analogues 2 and 3 and evaluate their interleukin-12 (IL-12)-inducing properties along with dipalmitoyl PIM2 (1) in an in vitro bovine dendritic cell assay. Both synthetic PIM analogues and synthetic dipalmitoyl PIM2 (1) were effective at enhancing IL-12 production by immature bovine dendritic cells. Unexpectedly, ether analogue 2 was significantly more active than dipalmitoyl PIM2 (1) which indicates that modified PIM compounds can be strongly immunoactive and may have significant adjuvant activities.     

Enantioselective total syntheses of ropivacaine and its analogues

An alternative asymmetric synthesis of ropivacaine and analogues employing the ‘cation pool’ strategy and host/guest supramolecular co-catalysis approach is presented. In this study, chiral auxiliaries, several soft nucleophiles as well as one-pot conditions for anodic oxidation, followed by nucleophilic addition, have been applied.     

Hydrosilylation reactions catalyzed by rhodium complexes with phosphine ligands functionalized with imidazolium salts

Hydrosilylation reactions of styrene with triethoxysilane catalyzed by rhodium complexes with phosphine ligands functionalized with imidazolium salts are reported. In comparison with Wilkinson’s catalyst, Rh(PPh₃)₃Cl, all of the present rhodium complexes with phosphines functionalized with imidazolium salts exhibit higher catalytic activity and selectivity.     

New syntheses of unsymmetrical thiepins and their selenium analogues

New routes toward fused thiepins and their selenium analogues are described, wherein initial cleavage of suitable diaryl disulfides or selenides bearing masked aldehyde functionalities with an N-protected and metalated indole-3-carbaldehyde acetal or a lithiated 2-bromobenzaldehyde acetal derivative gave a set of unsymmetrical diacetals. Subsequent deacetalization, followed by McMurry coupling, afforded the target unsymmetrical thiepins and selenepins.     

Total syntheses of ellipticine alkaloids and their amino analogues

Staudinger reaction of 9 with triphenylphosphine gave 2,4-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-b]indole 10. Treatment of 10 with di-tert-butyl dicarbonate and 4-dimethylaminopyridine gave 11. Diels-Alder reaction of 11 with 3,4-pyridyne gave cycloadducts 12 and 13, which were converted into ellipticine 1 and isoellipticine 2. New amino analogues of ellipticine 27 and 28 were also synthesized by this new route.     

Practical enantiospecific syntheses of lysobisphosphatidic acid and its analogues

We describe a versatile, efficient, and practical method for the preparation of enantiomerically pure lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA), bisether analogues, and phosphorothioate analogues of LBPA from solketal. Phosphorylation of a protected sn-2-O-oleoyl glycerol with 2-cyanoethyl bis(N,N-diisopropylamino)phosphite, followed by oxidation and deprotection, generated the enantiomers of 2,2'-LBPA. The corresponding phosphorothioate analogues were obtained by oxidation with sulfur. The (R,R) and (S,S) enantiomers of both LBPA and phosphorothioate LBPA were synthesized from (S)- and (R)-solketal, respectively. The ether analogue of (S,S)-lysobisphosphatidic acid (LBPA) and its enantiomer were synthesized from the same enantiomer (S)-solketal by simply changing the sequence of deprotection steps.
