Diastereoselective and enantioselective synthesis of 4′-aza analogues of 2′,3′-dideoxynucleosides

A diastereo- and enantioselective synthesis of 4′-aza analogues of 2′,3′-dideoxynucleosides has been designed by the strategy of the 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of a Vasella-type nitrone. The reaction leads to (1′R)- and (1′S)-4′-aza analogues of 2′,3′-dideoxythimidine and fluorouridine, in enantiomerically pure forms.     

New Heterocyclic Analogues of Anthracycline Antibiotics

ABSTRACT

Synthetic approaches to anthracycline antibiotic analogues in which the nitrogen atom of the carbohydrate portion is incorporated into a 1, 2, 3-triazolyl moiety were investigated. By using methyl 6-azido-2, 6-dideoxy-β-D--arabino-hexopyranoside and methyl 6-azido-2, 3, 6-tricdeoxy--α-L-arabino-hexopyranoside, the corresponding glycosides (16 a, b - 18 a, b) of carminomycinone and daunomycinone were prepared. The desired heterocyclic system was developed directly with the C-3′ and C-6′ azido anthracyclines by means of a cycloaddition process to give 7-0-[6′-(4, 5--dicarboethoxy-l, 2, 3-triazolyl)-2′, 6′-dideoxy-β-D-arabino--hexopyranosyl]-carminomycinone (23) and -daunomycinone (22), and 3′-(4, 5-dicarboethoxy - l, 2, 3-triazolyl)-4′ -epi-daunomycin (24).

New heterotricyclic systems, 6,10a,11,11a-tetrahydro-5H-bis[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,5-d:5′,4′-g][1,4]diazepines 6,7,9-11 and 5,6,10,10a,11,11a-hexahydro-1H-bis[1,2,4]triazolo[4,3-d:3′,4′-g][1,4]diazepines 8,12 have been obtained by double site- and regie-specific 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of mesitylnitrile oxide ( 1 ) or diphenylnitrile imine ( 2 ) to 5,7-disubstituted 2,3-dihydro-1H-1,4-diazepines 3-5. The structure of the synthesized bis-adducts 6-12 shows that the hetero double bonds are much more reactive than the olefinic ones in the dipolarophiles under study. No evidence for the formation of mono-adducts was obtained.

The conformation of the side chain of the molecule is additionally stabilized by an intramolecular hydrogen bond.     

The synthesis and thermal curing parameters of a novel quinoxaline monomer with terminal ethynyl thermoset and phenylethynyl intramolecular cycloaddition postcure capability

The Synthesis of 3,3′-bis(4-[3-ethynylphenoxy]phenyl)-7,7′-bis(phenylethynyl)-2,2′-diphenyl-6,6′-biquinoxaline (I) was accomplished by the reaction of 2,2′-bis(phenylethynyl)-5,5′-diaminobenzidine (II) and 4-(3-ethynylphenoxy)benzil. Thermal analysis of I indicated a softening temperature of 107°C, followed by an exotherm above 150°C that corresponded to a independent crosslinking reaction of the terminal acetylene groups and an intramolecular cycloaddition (IMC) reaction of the 2,2′-bis(phenylethynyl)biphenyl moieties. In the synthetic work substantial improvements were made in the synthesis of II. The sample of I was cured at 200°C and the maximum partially cured transition temperature attained was 280°C. A sample of 3,3′-bis(4,[3-ethynylphenoxy]phenyl)-2,2′-diphenyl-6,6′-biquinoxaline (IV) was similarly tested as a model without IMC capability and its corresponding value was 250°C. The difference between these two values is discussed briefly.

Synthesis of 3,3′-biisoxazoles from cyanogen N,N′-dioxide and trimethylsilyl enol ethers via the corresponding 5,5′-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-3,3′-Δ2-biisoxazolines

Regioselective 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition of Cyanogen N,N′-dioxide ( 2 ) to trimethylsilyl enol ethers 3a-d, 6 and 7 gave the corresponding 5,5′-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-3,3′-Δ²-biisoxazolines which upon short heating with 10% hydrochloric acid afforded 3,3′-biisoxazoles 5a-d , 8 and 9. Only the intermediate 5,5′-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)-derivative 4a was isolated and studied. Reaction of 2 with vinyl methyl ketone ( 10 ) gave biisoxazoline 11 which by oxidation with γ-manganese dioxide gave biisoxazole 12.     

Cycloadducts of phenylethynyl trifluoromethyl sulfone with diphenyldiazomethane and 9-diazofluorene and their transformations under conditions of van Alphen–Hüttel rearrangement

Diphenyldiazomethane and 9-diazofluorene react with phenylethynyl trifluoromethyl sulfone in diethyl ether at 20°C to give 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition products according to the von Auwers rule, the corresponding 3H-pyrazoles. The adduct with diphenyldiazomethane undergoes thermal van Alphen–Hüttel rearrangement to 4,4,5-triphenyl-3-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)-4H-pyrazole on heating in boiling benzene. Under analogous conditions, the adduct with 9-diazofluorene is converted into 3′-phenylspiro[fluorene-9,4′-pyrazol]-5′(1′H)-one, whereas 3a-phenyl-2,3a-dihydro-3H-dibenzo[e,g]indazol-3-one is formed in boiling methanol. The structure of 3′-phenylspiro[fluorene-9,4′-pyrazol]-5′(1′H)-one was determined by X-ray analysis.

The X-ray crystal and molecular structure of 5′-bromo-5′-deoxythymidine

5′-Bromo-5′-deoxythymidine (1) crystallizes with four molecules in a monoclinic unit cell of space group C2. The ribose ring adopts an envelope conformation, transient between T and E₀ (O4′-exo), with the C1′ atom being in the flap position. In the crystal lattice, the molecules are connected by intermolecular one-dimensional chains of hydrogen bondings from the hydroxyl hydrogen H3′(O3′) to the carbonyl oxygen O4. The differences in conformation and a hydrogen-bonding system of 1 with comparison to the structure of thymidine are observed. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 9: 591–596, 1998

Preparation of 2-alkenylperhydro-1,3-benzoxazines and application for 2-isoxazolines synthesis

Various 2-substituted-N-benzyl-4,4,7-trimethyl-trans-octahydro-1,3-benzoxazines 2 were prepared from the condensation of (?)-8-benzylaminomenthol 1 derived from (+)-pulegone, with acrolein, crotonaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde, 2(E)-N,N-diisopropyl-4-oxobut-2-enamide, ethyl (2E)-4-oxobut-2-enoate, and 2-furaldehyde in 71–96% yield. The 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with aceto- and benzonitrile oxide gave the corresponding 2-isoxazoline cycloadducts. The origin of the stereoselectivity (4′S, 5′S-cycloadducts up to 64% de) arises from the cycloaddition of the dipole to the top of the Re,Re-alkene face of dipolarophile 2.     

Synthesis of spiropyrrolidines: 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions of an azomethine ylide to unusual dipolarophiles; a molecular orbital study of the cycloaddition reaction

A simple and efficient method for the synthesis of novel spiropyrrolidines has been accomplished by regioselective 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition reactions of an azomethine ylide generated by thermal‐ring opening of cis‐1‐cyclohexyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐benzoyl aziridine with various (E)‐3‐arylidene‐4‐chromanones. The synthesis proceeds in good yield to afford novel spiropyrrolidines, 1‐cyclohexyl‐2‐phenyl‐3‐aryl‐5‐benzoylpyrrolidine‐spiro‐[4.3′]4′‐chromanones. The X‐ray crystal structure analysis of one of the products confirms its structure. Molecular orbital calculations were performed to investigate the regioselectivity of the cycloaddition process. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 10: 500–507, 1999     

Enantioselective Synthesis of Distorted π-Extended Chiral Triptycenes Consisting of Three Distinct Aromatic Rings by Rhodium-Catalyzed [2+2+2] Cycloaddition

The enantioselective synthesis of distorted π-extended chiral triptycenes, consisting of three distinct aromatic rings, has been achieved with high ee value of 87 % by the cationic rhodium(I)/segphos complex-catalyzed enantioselective [2+2+2] cycloaddition of 2,2′-di(prop-1-yn-1-yl)-5,5′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,1′-biphenyl with 6-methoxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalene followed by the diastereoselective Diels–Alder reaction and aromatization. Demethoxy derivatives were also synthesized by the C−O bond cleavage. In this synthesis, the use of the electron-deficient diyne and the electron-rich alkene is crucial to suppress the undesired strain-relieving carbocation rearrangement and stabilize the distorted triptycene structure.
