Abstract

A practical metal-free procedure for the synthesis of (E)-vinyl sulfones has been developed through the coupling of β-nitrostyrenes with sodium sulfinates under microwave irradiation. This methodology provides a convenient and efficient approach to various (E)-vinyl sulfones from readily available starting materials with excellent regioselectivity. The present oxidative reaction involves an efficient denitrative radical cross-coupling of β-nitrostyrenes with sodium sulfinates via using AcOH as an additive.     

Water-mediated,green, and efficient synthesis of bisquinolones under catalyst-free conditions

Water-mediated, green, and efficient synthesis involving condensation of 4-hydroxy-1-methylquinoline-2(1H)-one (3) with different aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes (4a–n) leading to 3,3′-(arylmethylene)-bis-(4-hydroxy-1-methylquinolin-2(1H)-one) 5(a–n) under catalyst-free conditions is described. This reaction has an easy workup without using column chromatography and provides excellent yields of the products in shorter reaction times. It does not require any catalyst and uses water as the medium which is the greenest solvent. 3 required in this work was itself obtained by condensation of N-methylaniline (1) with malonic acid (2) in the presence of POCl₃ using a previously reported procedure.

Ring-expansion reaction of 1-hydroperoxy-16-oxabicyclo[10.4.0]hexadecane catalyzed by copper ions: use in the synthesis of 15-pentadecanolide

A catalytic procedure has been developed for the synthesis of 15-pentadecanolide (1) from readily available 1-hydroperoxy-16-oxabicyclo[10.4.0]hexadecane (2). The method is based on the reaction of hydroperoxide2 with copper acetate (0.15–5 mol.%). Ring expansion occurred as a result of generation of tertiary bicyclohexadecyloxyl radicals4 from hydroperoxide2 under the action of Cu¹ ions, β-scission of the radicals accompanied by regioselective cleavage of the bridge bond to form macrocyclic C-centered radicals5, and their oxidation by Cu¹¹ ions to (E)-11- and (E)-12-pentadecen-15-olides (6). The products obtained were converted into 15-pentadecanolide by subsequent catalytic hydrogenation over a Pd catalyst in a yield of more than 90% with respect to hydroperoxide2.

Synthesis of Glycosyl Acceptors by Regioselective Benzylations of a 2-Deoxy-2-phthalimido-D-glucoside.

The direct regioselective benzylation of p-methoxyphenyl 2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside (1) with benzyl bromide under basic conditions gives 4,6-di-O-benzyl (2a), 4-O-benzyl (3a) and 6-O -benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside 4a. When the benzylation was performed in the presence of di-n-butyltin oxide, p-methoxyphenyl 4,6-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-2-phthalimido-β-D-glucopyranoside 5 was obtained in high yield. This constitutes a new and efficient one-pot procedure for the synthesis of the glycosyl acceptor 5.

A NOVEL AND EFFICIENT SYNTHESIS OF 3-ARYL AND 3-HETEROARYL SUBSTITUTED-1H-INDAZOLES AND THEIR MANNICH DERIVATIVES

ABSTRACT

A general and highly convenient procedure for the synthesis of 3-heteroaryl and 3-aryl substituted-1H-indazoles has been developed. These compounds (3a–f) were synthesized in good yield by refluxing the NaHSO₃ adduct of heteroaromatic and aromatic aldehyde and phenyl hydrazine in DMF. This procedure is more general and shorter than earlier methods. Five new 3-hetero-aryl substituted-1H-indazoles were synthesized and characterized. New Mannich derivatives of 3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)-1H-indazole (3a) and 3-(1H-indol-3-yl)-1H-indazole (3b) were prepared from morpholine and formaldehyde.

Fragment interaction analysis of structural problems in the framework ofAb initio SCF-MO computations

We describe here a procedure which allows to extend the application of the quantitative orbital interaction analysis at theab initio SCF-MO level to any kind of orbital interaction. In this new procedure a localization scheme is applied to the fragment MOs obtained with the procedure suggested by Wolfe et al. (JACS99, 1296 (1977)): in this way also the resulting σ-type fragment localized MOs have correct orbital occupancies and can be used for a PMO analysis. In addition the availability of quantitative expressions for the fragment localized MOs allows also to compute the total energy of the system in the absence of the orbital interactions under examination. For illustrative purposes the procedure is applied to the analysis of the factors which determine the preferential stability oftrans overcis diimide.

Enzymatic synthesis of chiral heteroaryl alcohols using plant fragments as the only biocatalyst and reducing agent

Abstract

The enzymatic reduction of prochiral heterocyclic ketones by carrot (Daucus carota) root in water afforded the corresponding S-alcohols in accordance with the Prelog's rule. The reaction was performed under various conditions in order to optimize the procedure of bioreduction regarding reaction time, yield, and optimal mass of carrot. The optimized procedure was used to test the ability of other plants to carry out the reaction. In the latter experiment, it was observed that, with regard to stereospecificity, most vegetables tested were poorer reducing agents compared to D. carota.
