A synthesis of (±)-Δ2-α-Lycoren-7-one,the key intermediate for the total synthesis of (±)-lycorine

(±)-α-Lycoran-3,5-dione (14a) was prepared from octahydrophenanthridin-3-one (8b) obtained by two methods starting from 5-aryl-4-nitrocyclohexene (2) and 1-hydroxyl-2-aryl-5-oxo-cyclohexanecarboxylic acid (10), both of which were prepared by the Diels-Alder reaction of 3,4-methylenedioxy - ω - nitrostyrene with butadiene and the Robinson annelation of 3,4-methyl- enedioxy - phenylpyruvic acid (9) with methyl vinyl ketone, respectively, 14a was converted into (±)Δ²-α-lycoren-7-one (22b), which has been transformed into (±)-lycorine (1) by Torssell     

2-Methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propionic acid,a powerful chiral auxiliary for enantioresolution of alcohols and determination of their absolute configurations by the 1H NMR anisotropy method

Racemic 2-methoxy-2-(1-naphthyl)propionic acid (1, MαNP acid) was enantioresolved as its esters derived from various chiral alcohols. For example, a diastereomeric mixture of esters prepared from (±)-1 and (1R,3R,4S)-(−)-menthol was easily separated by HPLC on silica gel yielding esters (−)-2a and (−)-2b, the separation factor α=1.83 being unusually large. The ¹H NMR chemical shift differences, Δδ=δ(R)–δ(S), between diastereomers 2a and 2b, are much larger than those of conventional chiral auxiliaries, e.g. Mosher’s MTPA and Trost’s MPA acids. This acid 1 is therefore very powerful for determining the absolute configuration of chiral alcohols by the ¹H NMR anisotropy method. Solvolysis of the separated esters yielded enantiopure acids (S)-(+)-1 and (R)-(−)-1, which are useful for enantioresolution of racemic alcohols.     

A study of the Claisen rearrangement of 7-(3-phenyl-2-propenyloxy)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one derivatives

Summary The Claisen rearrangement of 7-(3-phenyl-2-propenyloxy)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one (2 a) gave 7-hydroxy-8-(1-phenyl-2-propenyl)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one (3 a) and 2,3-dihydro-2,6-diphenyl-3-methyl-(7H)furo[2,3-h]-1-benzopyran-7-one (7 a). 2-Methyl-7-(3-phenyl-2-propenyloxy)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one (2 b) afforded4 b and7 b. 8-Methyl-7-(3-phenyl-2-propenyloxy)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one (12) gave only the alkali soluble product 7-hydroxy-8-methyl-6-(1-phenyl-2-propenyl)-3-phenyl-(4H)-1-benzopyran-4-one (13).3 a,4 b, and13 were further cyclized in acidic medium to9 a,10 b, and14 followed by dehydrogenation.This paper is dedicated to Dr. F. M. Dean, Department of Organic Chemistry, Robert Robinson Laboratories, University of Liverpool, Liverpool, U. K., on his retirement     

Preparation of (1R,8S)- and (1S,8R)-9-azabicyclo[6.2.0]dec-4-en-10-one: potential starting compounds for the synthesis of anatoxin-a

9-Azabicyclo[6.2.0]dec-4-en-10-one (±)-2, obtained from cyclooctadiene by addition of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate, was N-hydroxymethylated to (±)-3 and then resolved by lipase-catalysed asymmetric acylation of the primary OH group at the (S)-stereogenic centre. High enantioselectivity (E=94) was observed when lipase PS and vinyl butyrate were used in di-iso-propyl ether at −15°C, resulting in the enantiomerically enriched ester 3a and alcohol 3b (e.e. ≥92%). Treatment of 3a and 3b with NH₄OH/MeOH afforded the corresponding β-lactams (1R,8S)-2a and (1S,8R)-2b (e.e. ≥93%), potential starting compounds in anatoxin-a synthesis. The ring opening of lactams (±)-2, (±)-7, 3a and 3b, followed by reduction, resulted in racemic 4–6 and 8 and enantiomeric 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b eight-membered cyclic β-amino acid derivatives.     

Efficient synthesis of the cyclopentanone fragrances (Z)-3-(2-oxopropyl)-2-(pent-2-en-1-yl)cyclopentanone and Magnolione

This paper describes the selective syntheses of two cis-isomer-enriched cyclopentanone fragrances: (Z)-3-(2-oxopropyl)-2-(pent-2-en-1-yl)cyclopentanone (four steps, 62% overall yield, 67% cis) and Magnolione^® (five steps, 60% overall yield, 55% cis). In addition, the asymmetric synthesis of (3aR,7aS)-5-methyl-2,3,3a,4,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-inden-1-one as well as (3a′R,7a′S)-5′-methyl-2′,3′,3a′,4′,7′,7a′-hexahydrospiro[[1,3]dioxolane-2,1′-indene] has been realized by an efficient kinetic resolution, which enables the selective synthesis of the 2S,3R-isomer-enriched 3 and 4.     

An efficient approach to 2-substituted N-tosylpiperdines: asymmetric synthesis of 2-(2-hydroxy substituted)piperidine alkaloids

We have developed an efficient and a general approach to chiral 2-substituted N-tosylpiperidines starting from chiral α-substituted-N-tosylaziridines. Using this approach, we have synthesized (+)-coniine. The synthesis of chiral N-tosyl-2-piperidinylethanol 15 and ent-15, was achieved from l- and d-aspartic acids, respectively in few steps. Piperidine 15 was converted into 2-(2-hydroxysubstituted)piperidines of type 2 in optically active form. By applying this strategy, asymmetric syntheses of halosaline (R,R)-2a, (+)- and (−)-sedamine 2b, (+)- and (−)-allosedamine 2c, (+)- and (−)-sedridine 2d, (+)- and (−)-allosedridine 2e, (+)-tetraponerine T-3 3a, T-4 3c, T-7 3b, and T-8 3d have been achieved in high yields. These stereoisomers can be interconverted via Mitsunobu inversion in excellent yields.     

Formation of pyridin-4(1H)-one versus 1H-azepin-4(7H)-one by treatment of 4-tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy-2-amino-1-aza-bicyclo[4.1.0]hept-3-enes with tetrabutylammonium fluoride

Cycloadducts 3 and 4 were treated with tetrabutylammonium fluoride and rapidly suffer cleavage on the three-membered ring to form either pyridin-4(1H)-one or 1H-azepin-4(7H)-one. When R¹ is an oxycarbonyl or a 2-pyridyl group and R² is a negative charge-stabilizing group (cases 3a,b and 4f) the C-C bond cleaves forming products 5. However, when R²=H (case 3c) the ring expands to seven members. When R¹ is an acyl group the pyridin-4(1H)-one formation includes an unexpected shift of the carbonyl group.

The diiron ynamine complex [Fe₂(CO)₇{μ-CR)C(NEt₂)}] (1:R=Me,2:R = C₃H₅.3:R=SiMe₃.4:R = Ph) reacts at room temperature with diphenyldiazomethane Ph₂CN₂, in hexane to yield complexes [Fe₂(CO)₆{C(R)C(NEt₂)N (NCPh₂)] (5a:R=Me,6a:R=C₃H₅.7a R=SiMe₃.8a:R=Ph) resulting from the insertion of the terminal nitrogen atom into the Fe=C carbene bond. Insertion the second nitrogen atom and formation of compounds [Fe₂(CO)₆zμ-C(R)C(NEt₂)NN(CPh₂)}] (5b:R=Me,6b:R=C₃H₅,7b:R=SiMe₃,8b:R=Ph) is observed when compounds5a-5a are treated in refluxing hexane. Transformation of compoundsa tob is also obtained at room temperature within a few days. All compounds were identified by their¹H NMR spectra. Compounds6a, 7a, 8a, and8b were characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction analyses.

Catalytic enantioselective conjugate addition of dialkyl zinc reagents to α,β-unsaturated ketones mediated by new phosphite ligands containing binaphthalene/1,2-diphenylethane moieties: a practical synthesis of (R)-(−)-muscone

New diastereoisomeric phosphites based on either (R)- or (S)-2,2′-dihydroxy-1,1′-binaphthyl (BINOL) and having the chiral alcoholic moiety derived from the monobenzyl ether of (R,R)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diol have been prepared and used as chiral ligands in the enantioselective copper-catalyzed 1,4-addition of diethylzinc to chalcone and 2-cyclohexen-1-one (enantiomeric excesses up to 48%). With the (aR,R,R) ligand dimethylzinc adds enantioselectively to (E)-cyclopentadecen-2-en-1-one to give (R)-(−)-muscone (68% yield, 78% ee). This provides an efficient access to a valuable ingredient of the perfume industry. However, with the (aS,R,R) ligand, (S)-(+)-muscone is obtained with longer reaction times (37% yield and 10% ee) with a very high double diastereoselection effect being observed.     

Synthesis of (4R,8R)- and (4S,8R)-4,8-dimethyldecanal: the common aggregation pheromone of flour beetles

The key intermediate 4 was obtained optically pure in five steps from methyl (S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate 2.     

Efficient synthesis of new 1-alkyl(aryl)-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-ones

The synthesis of 1-alkyl(aryl)-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrol-2(5H)-ones 5, 6a-d from 1-alkyl(aryl)-4-bromo-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrolidin-2-ones 3, 4a-d is reported. The 1-alkyl(aryl)-4-bromo-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrolidin-2-ones 3, 4a-d were obtained from regiospecific bromination of 1-alkyl(aryl)-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrolidin-2-ones 1, 2a-d with molecular bromine. The NMR and X-ray diffraction data showed that 1-alkyl(aryl)-5-(3,3,3-trihalo-2-oxopropylidene)-1H-pyrrolidin-2-ones were brominated at 4-position in the pyrrolidin-2-one ring.     

Ring-expanded chiral rhombamine macrocycles for efficient NMR enantiodiscrimination of carboxylic acid derivatives

Novel 46-membered chiral rhombamine macrocycles (R,R,R,R)-8a and 8b were synthesized by [2+2] cyclocondensation reactions of (R,R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane with the corresponding dialdehydes and subsequent reduction with NaBH₄. The X-ray crystal structure of 1:4 dioxane complex with (R,R,R,R)-8a indicated a rhombus conformation of the chiral macrocycle. Compounds (R,R,R,R)-8a and 8b were tested as chiral shift reagents for a wide range of α-substituted carboxylic acids and amino acid derivatives. Enantiodiscrimination of ¹H NMR signals was observed with ΔΔδ values of up to 0.214 ppm.     

Synthese von (5,10)-(7,8)-Bisepoxiden aus α- und β-4-Phenyl-1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-dion-Addukten von Vitamin D3 und Röntgenstrukturanalyse eines der Benzoylderivate

Oxidation of the α- and β-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-dione adducts of vitamin D₃ (2 and1) withMCPBA yields two diastereomeric mixtures of the (5,10)-(7,8)-dioxiranes3 a,3 b,3 c and4 a,4 b respectively. The corresponding benzoates5 a,5 b,6 a and6 b were prepared and the X-ray crystal structure of5 b was determined. This analysis proved5 b to be the (5R, 1 OS)-(7R, 8R)-dioxirane of the β-resp. (6S)-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolin-3,5-dione adduct1 of vitamin D₃.     

Perhydro-1,3-benzoxazines derived from (−)-8-aminomenthol as ligands for the catalytic enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes

The catalytic potency of a series of perhydro-1,3-benzoxazines prepared from (?)-8-aminomenthol was examined in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes. When (2R,3S,3aS,4aR,6R,8aS)-2-isopropyl-6,9,9-trimethyl-3-phenyldecahydro-4aH-pyrrolo[2,1-b][1,3]benzoxazin-3-ol 7b was used as a chiral ligand, 1-substituted propanols with an (R)-configuration were obtained in high yields and enantiomeric excesses up to >99%. The catalyst can be recovered and used without any loss in its activity.     

Masked constrained cysteines: diastereoselective and enantioselective synthesis of 1-amino-2-mercaptocyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivatives

A diastereoselective and enantioselective synthesis of (Z)-1-benzoylamino-2-tritylsulfanylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivatives 8a,b and 9a,b was achieved starting from (−)- or (+)-menthyl 2-benzoylamino-3-tritylsulfanylacrylates 3a,b. Compounds 3 were reacted with diazomethane giving the corresponding pyrazolines 4a,b and 5a,b. These compounds, on melting, were transformed, under steric control, into the cyclopropaneamino acid derivatives (R,R)-8a,b and (S,S)-9a,b. The synthesis of a large class of chiral 2-S-alkyl-1-aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid derivatives is possible after removing the trityl protecting group and subsequent alkylation reactions.     

Synthetic transformations of methylenelactones of eudesmanic type. Behavior of isoalantolactone under the conitions of heck reaction

By Heck reaction of isoalantolactone with aryl bromides or aryl iodides (3aR,4aS, 8aR,9aR,E)-3-arylmethylidene-8a-methyl-5-methylidenedecahydronaphtho[2,3-b]furan-2(3H)-ones and (4aS,8aR,9aS)-3-arylmethyl-8a-methyl-5-methylidene-4a,5,6,7,8,8a,9,9a-octahydronaphtho[2,3-b]furan-2(4H)-ones, products of the double bond shift, were synthesized. The yields of the arylation products depend on the nature of the catalytic system and on the structure of the aryl halide. The structures of (3aR,4aS,8aR,9aR,E)-3-(3,4-dimethoxybenzylidene)-8amethyl-5-methylidenedecahydronaphtho[2,3-b]furan-2(3H)-one and (4aS,8aR,9aS)-3-(2-methylsulfanylbenzyl)-8amethyl-5-methylidene-4a,5,6,7,8,8a,9,9a-octahydronaphtho[2,3-b]furan-2(4H)-one were proved by XRD analysis.     

Asymmetric Synthesis of （R）- and （S）-Moprolol

A simple and effective procedure for the enantioselective synthesis of （R）- and （S）-moprolol was described. The key step was the asymmetric synthesis of enantiopure （R）- and （S）-guaifenesin, which were synthesized from enantioenriched （R）-3-chloro-l,2-propanediol and （S）-epichlorohydrin via kinetics of hydrolysis resolution of racemic epichlorohydrin by chiral Salen-Co^Ⅲ complex. The e.e. values of both the optical compounds were above 98%, and the chemical structures of the target compounds were confirmed by ^1H NMR, ^13C NMR, IR, and MS.     

Synthesis of chiral 1,5-disubstituted pyrrolidinones via electrophile-induced cyclization of 2-(3-butenyl)oxazolines derived from (1R,2S)- and (1S,2R)-norephedrine

Starting from (1R,2S)- and (1S,2R)-norephedrine, enantiomers of the corresponding 2-(3-butenyl)oxazolines were prepared in a two-step process. The cyclization of the intermediate alkenylamides with phenylselenyl bromide afforded cyclic imidates instead of the expected pyrrolidinones. The electrophile-induced cyclizations of 2-alkenyloxazolines with bromine or iodine produced diastereomeric mixtures of chiral 1,5-disubstituted pyrrolidinones. The ring closure of the all-cis (1R,2S,5R)-diastereomer 7 with NaH resulted in the tetrahydropyrrolo[2,1-b]oxazol-5-one derivative 18, which was alternatively prepared by the cyclocondensation of (1R,2S)-norephedrine with levulinic acid.
