Concise Synthesis of Both Enantiomers of Pilocarpine

Furan-2-carboxylic acid was used as a starting material for the synthesis of dehydro-homopilopic acid. Esterification, hydrogenation and enzymatic hydrolysis followed by the reduction of Weinreb amides and a single-step attachment of a 1-methyl-imidazole residue allowed for the concise synthesis of both enantiomers of pilocarpine.     

Asymmetric Synthesis of Both Enantiomers of Disparlure

Starting from propargyl alcohol ( 12 ), and on the basis of Zhou's modified Sharpless asymmetric epoxidation, the sex pheromone of the Gypsy moth, disparlure (+)‐ 8 and its enantiomer (?)‐ 8 have been synthesized, each in six steps, with overall yields of 29% for (+)‐ 8 and 27% for (?)‐ 8 (ee>98%). The use of the sequential coupling tactic renders the method flexible, which is applicable to the synthesis of other cis‐epoxy pheromones.     

Novel Enantioselective Synthesis of Both Enantiomers of Furan‐2‐yl Amines and Amino Acids

A new enantioselective synthesis of furan‐2‐yl amines and amino acids is described, in which the key step is the oxazaborolidine‐catalyzed enantioselective reduction of O‐benzyl (E)‐ and (Z)‐furan‐2‐yl ketone oximes to the corresponding chiral amines. The chirality of the furan‐2‐yl amines is fully controlled by the appropriate choice of the geometrical isomer of the O‐benzyl oxime. Oxidation of the furan ring furnished amino acids in high yields.     

Synthesis of Both Enantiomers of Flavanone and 2‐Methylchromanone

An efficient enantiospecific synthesis of the (R)‐ and (S)‐enantiomers of flavanone and 2‐methylchromanone is described. The key steps are a C,C‐bond formation by ring opening of a chiral epoxide with a dithiane anion, followed by a Mitsunobu cyclization. The products obtained have high enantiomeric purity.     

手性配体立体选择性萃取分离扁桃酸对映体

Based on chiral ligand exchange, the distribution behavior of mandelic acid enantiomers in the two-phase system containing copper ion(Ⅱ)(Cu²⁺) and N-n-dedecane-L-hydroxyproline (L), was studied. At different pH, the partition of Cu²⁺ in the two-phase system containing N-n-dedecane-L-hydroxyproline, was investigated. The formation constant of binary cpmplex(Li₂Cu) was obtained by regression. The influence of pH, concentrations of Cu²⁺ and chiral ligand, and solvents on partition coefficients(K) and separation factor(α), was discussed. The experimental results show that Li forms more stable ternary complex with D-mandelic acid than with L- mandelic acid. There is a large influence of pH on K and α. At low pH values (<3.5), formation of binary complexes is thermodynamically unfavourable. K and α are best when pH values are above 3.5 and the molar ratio of chiral ligand to Cu²⁺ is 2∶1. At the same time, solvents influence K and α very much.     

基于手性配体交换反应立体选择性萃取分离氧氟沙星对映体

基于配体交换反应,研究了氧氟沙星对映体在含有Cu²⁺和N-n-十二烷基-L-脯氨酸手性配体(L)两相体系中的分配平衡.在不同pH条件下,考察了Cu²⁺在含有N-n-十二烷基-L-脯氨酸两相中的分布;研究了pH,Cu²⁺浓度,手性配体浓度等因素对氧氟沙星对映体在两相中的分配系数(K)和分离因子(α)的影响.实验结果表明,N-n-十二烷基-L-脯氨酸对R-氧氟沙星对映体萃取能力大于对S-对映体的萃取能力;pH对K和α的影响很大,在pH值小于3.5时,L₂Cu二元配合物的生成在热力学上看是不适宜的,萃取时pH宜大于3.5;手性配体和Cu²⁺摩尔比为2:1,K和α最佳;使用2×1中空纤维膜对氧氟沙星对映体进行萃取分离,出口水相氧氟沙星对映体浓度比值(S/R)约为1.72.     

Stereoselective Synthiesis of Both Enantiomers of Disparlure from D-Glucose

D-Glucose was transformed stereoselectively into (7R,8S)8-benzyloxy-7-hydroxy-2-methyl-9-octadecene from which both enantiomers of disparlure, (7R,8S)-(+)-and (7S,8R)-(-)-7,8-epoxy-2-methyloctadecane, sex pheromone of the gypsy moth, were obtained in four and three steps, respectively.

Synthesis of a Cyclic Analogue of Galardin

A cyclic analogue 4 of galardin, a known MMP inhibitor, is designed to improve its selectivity. The synthesis of 4 starts from dimethyl (S)‐malate using diaselective alkylation and subsequent cyclization and amide formation as key steps. The compound 4 showed MMP inhibitory activity on all MMPs tested with IC₃₀, ranging from 20.1 μM to 104 μM.     

Enantioselective Recognition of Proline Enantiomers Using Sulfhydryl-modified Self-assembled Gold Electrodes

Penicillamine, cysteine, and N-isobutyryl-cysteine enantiomers self-assembled gold electrodes were used for the enantioselective recognition of proline in the presence of copper(II). High stereoselectivity for proline was obtained for the D-form of the sulfhydryl compounds, particularly on the D-penicillamine-modified gold electrode. Cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to confirm the chiral discrimination of proline enantiomers on the D-penicillamine modified gold electrode in the presence of copper(II). The largest electrochemical response was obtained for D-proline for the recognition of its enantiomers, whereas small responses were obtained for the L- and D-forms of phenylalanine, tyrosine, serine, and glutamic acid. The influences of incubation time and pH for chiral ligand exchange were evaluated. This study complements and enhances applications for the recognition of amino acid enantiomers based on ligand exchange by electrochemical analysis.

Chromium‐Mediated Dearomatization: Application to the Synthesis of Racemic 15‐Acetoxytubipofuran and Asymmetric Synthesis of Both Enantiomers

An efficient dearomatization process of [Cr(arene)(CO)₃] complexes initiated by a nucleophilic acetaldehyde equivalent is detailed. It generates in a one‐pot reaction three C? C bonds and two stereogenic centers. This process allowed a rapid assembly of a cis‐decalin ring system incorporating a homoannular diene unit in just two steps starting from aromatic precursors (Scheme 2). The method was applied to the total synthesis of the eudesmane‐type marine furanosesquiterpene (±)‐15‐acetoxytubipofuran ( 2 ). Two routes were successfully used to synthesize the γ‐lactone precursor of the furan ring. The key step in the first approach was a Pd‐catalyzed allylic substitution (Scheme 3), while in the second approach, an Eschenmoser–Claisen rearrangement was highly successful (Scheme 4). The Pd‐catalyzed allylic substitution could be directed to give either the (normal) product with overall retention as major diastereoisomer or the unusual product with inversion of configuration (see Table). For the synthesis of the (?)‐enantiomer (R,R)‐ 2 of 15‐acetoxytubipofuran, an enantioselective dearomatization in the presence of a chiral diether ligand was implemented (Scheme 7), while the (+)‐enantiomer (S,S)‐ 2 was obtained via a diastereoselective dearomatization of an arene‐bound chiral imine auxiliary (Scheme 8). Chiroptical data suggest that a revision of the previously assigned absolute configuration of the natural product is required.
