Isolation,structural assignment and insecticidal activity of (−)-(1S,2R,3R,4S)-1,2-epoxy-1-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-cyclohex-3-yl acetate,a natural product from Minthostachys tomentosa

(−)-(1S,2R,3R,4S)-1,2-Epoxy-1-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-cyclohex-3-yl acetate has previously been identified as the active compound of Minthostachys tomentosa responsible for the insecticidal activity against Oncopeltus fasciatus. Its structure was initially assigned on the basis of spectral data. In order to confirm the structure and to define the stereochemistry, stereoselective synthesis of its enantiomer, (+)-(1R,2S,3S,4R)-1,2-epoxy-1-methyl-4-(1-methylethyl)-cyclohex-3-yl acetate, starting from (R)-(−)-piperitone, was carried out using a Sharpless reaction as the key step. The natural product is dextro-rotatory while the synthetic product is levo-rotatory. Measurements of insecticidal activities of the different steroisomers revealed that only the natural product is active.

Synthesis of a dimer of β-(1,4)-L-arabinosyl-(2S,4R)-4-hydroxyproline inspired by Art v 1, the major allergen of mugwort

Nα-tert-Butoxycarbonyl-L-trans-4-hydroxyproline allyl ester (Boc-Hyp-OAll) was glycosylated with 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-L-arabinose p-cresylthioglycoside in 60% yield with 4:1 β:α stereoselectivity. Deprotection of N- and C-terminii independently gave a prolyl amine and prolyl carboxylate respectively that were coupled under standard conditions with 1-[bis-(dimethylamino)methylene]-1H-1,2,3-triazolo-[4,5,b]-pyridininium hexafluorophosphate 3-oxide (N-HATU) to give the dimer 1 in 46% yield. These results represent the first steps toward the production of homogeneous oligomers to determine the minimal epitope of the Art v 1 allergen.

Palladium-catalyzed 1, 4-disylation of α, β-unsaturated ketones with 1, 1-dichloro-1-phenyl-2,2,2-trimethyldisilane

1,4-Disilylation of α, β-unsaturated ketones proceeded with 1,1-dichloro-1-phenyl-2,2,2-trimethyldisilane in the presence of a phosphine-palladium catalyst in benzene. Treatment of the disilylation products with an excess of methyllithium generated β-silyl lithium enolates, of which hydrolysis and alkylation gave β-(phenyldimethylsilyl) ketones and anti β-silyl α-alkyl ketones, respectively.

Preparation and Electrochemical Properties of 3-Pyridinyl-6-aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolo [3, 4-b][1, 3, 4]thiadiazoles

A series of 3-pyridinyl-6-aryl-1, 2, 4-triazolo[3, 4-b][1, 3, 4]thiadiazoles(PATT) were prepared, the structures were confirmed by 1R and ^1H NMR spectra. The results of cyclic voltammetry measurements imply that all these compounds have a higher electron affinity (EA) than 2-(4-biphenyl)-5-(4-tert-butyl phenyl)-1, 3. 4-oxadiazole (PBD) which implies that PATT could be acting as better electron acceptors than widely used electron transporting material PBD.

A convenient chiron approach to (4R,5R)-5-hydroxyalkylbutan-4-olides and the corresponding 7-oxa analogues from d-(+)-mannitol via an advanced common precursor: syntheses of (−)-muricatacin, 7-oxa-(−)-muricatacin, (4R,5R)-(−)-5-hydroxy-4-decanolide,and (4R,5R)-(−)-7-oxa-5-hydroxy-4-dodecanolide

An efficient and concise chiron approach toward the synthesis of (−)-muricatacin and its unnatural 7-oxa analogue starting from commercially available and inexpensive d-(+)-mannitol via an advanced common chiral precursor has been described. In addition, (4R,5R)-(−)-5-hydroxy-4-decanolide and (4R,5R)-(−)-7-oxa-5-hydroxy-4-dodecanolide were also synthesized to show the versatility of this synthetic strategy. The methodology involves the conversion of a common chiral intermediate, prepared from d-(+)-mannitol in six steps, to a variety of target molecules in only two steps.
