A facile synthesis of cyclic bis(3′→5′)diguanylic acid

This paper describes a new method for synthesizing biologically important cyclic bis(3′→5′)diguanylic acid (cGpGp) in a higher yield than that of the existing synthetic method. In the new synthesis, the following two means, in place of those used in the existing synthesis are employed as main strategies to cause the increase in product yield. One of these distinctive strategies in the new synthesis is that the phosphoramidite method is used for the preparation of a key synthetic intermediate of a linear guanylyl(3′→5′)guanylic acid derivative. This method allowed higher-yield formation of the intermediate than that by the triester method used in the existing synthesis. The second distinctive strategy used in the new synthesis is that allyloxycarbonyl and allyl groups are used for the protection of two guanine bases and two internucleotide bonds, respectively. These four allylic protectors can be removed all at once by the organopalladium-catalyzed reaction under neutral conditions. Thus, deprotection of the protected cGpGp precursor was achieved in the present synthesis in a shorter step and under milder conditions than the deprotection achieved in the existing synthesis, which uses diphenylacetyl and o-chlorophenyl groups as protectors for two guanine bases and two internucleotide bonds, respectively, whose full removal requires two different procedures including rather harsh basic treatment. As a result, technical loss and decomposition of the target product in the new synthesis is remarkably reduced.

A new method for the synthesis of thieno[2,3‐c]pyrazoles

A new method has been found for the synthesis of pyrazoleacetate esters from pyrazolaldehyde. By a new tandem reaction, in which methyl 4‐pyrazoleacetate was reacted with carbon disulfide and iodomethane, thieno[2,3‐c]pyrazole was synthesized. This was an easy method for the synthesis of this type of heterocycle. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Heteroatom Chem 10: 303–305, 1999

Convenient Approach to 10- and 11-Membered Azalactams

A convenient method for the synthesis of 10- and 11-membered azalactams via reductive cleavage of bicyclic systems featuring an amidine fragment was studied. It was found that the ring-expansion reaction of bicyclic dihydropyrimidones depends on the ring size of saturated fragment, substituents in the pyrimidone core and reaction conditions. A new efficient method for the synthesis of medium ring azalactams by reductive cleavage of quaternary salts of annulated dihydropyrimidones was proposed as well. The obtained medium ring azalactams with a secondary amine function were used in the synthesis of bicyclic heteroaromatic systems.     

A novel and highly efficient synthetic route to unsymmetrical organoselenides using cesium bases

A new and convenient one-pot method for the preparation of unsymmetrical selenides has been developed. In the presence of cesium hydroxide, molecular sieves, and DMF, benzeneselenol undergoes direct alkylation with various alkyl halides for the synthesis of alkyl phenyl selenides in moderate to excellent yields. Another method to prepare unsymmetrical organoselenides was also completed by coupling terminal alkynes with benzeneselenyl bromide. As an application, the synthesis of a selenopeptide was also accomplished. Furthermore, this methodology was extended to the synthesis of an organoselenide on solid support.     

High-performance thin-layer chromatography method for assessment of the quality of combinatorial libraries,and comparison with liquid chromatography-ultraviolet-mass spectrometry

A high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method was developed for fast evaluation of the purity of solid-phase synthesis products. The results obtained were in good agreement with results obtained by the LC-MS method (r(2) = 0.8404) or by the LC-UV method (r(2) = 0.8053), confirming the suitability of HPTLC for purity analysis of combinatorial syntheses. The synthesis products can be quantified and identified by measuring UV densitograms or in situ UV spectra or by ESI-MS after isolation of the zone of interest. A new, simple, and fast method for transferring the zone of the analyte from the plate to the ESI-MS equipment is described. The new HPTLC method enables rapid and efficient analysis of approximately 40 samples in parallel. As such, it offers a cheaper and easier way to analyze the purity of synthesis products than the commonly used LC-UV-MS.

This synthesis illustrates a new strategy, "deconstruction-reconstruction", for accessing stereochemically complex polyketide building blocks.
