Organocatalysts of tertiary-phosphines and amines catalyzed reactions of α-keto esters with cyclopent-2-enone

The reaction of α-keto esters with cyclopent-2-enone catalyzed by tertiary-phosphines provides the corresponding Baylis-Hillman adducts. Among the catalysts, diphenylmethylphosphine was found to be the most effective promoter allowing the reaction to proceed smoothly at room temperature and to give the corresponding adducts in higher yields in the presence of p-nitrophenol. Whereas, the similar reaction of α-keto esters with cyclopent-2-enone catalyzed by tertiary-amine of DBU furnishes the corresponding aldol adducts with syn-configuration exclusively.     

Bromination and Azidation Reactions of 2-Styrylchromones. New Syntheses of 4(5)-Aryl-5(4)-(2-chromonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles

Summary. The bromination of 2-styrylchromones, bearing electron neutral substituents, with two molar equivalents of piridinium tribromide gave 2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones and 3-bromo-2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones. The presence of electron-donating substituents on their B ring led to a mixture of compounds due to the higher reactivity of their C(2)=C(3) and C=C double bonds, whereas the strongly electron-withdrawing group hindered the bromination. The dehydrobromination of 2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones with triethylamine gave a diastereomeric mixture of (E)- and (Z)-2-(-bromostyryl)chromones. Some novel 4(5)-aryl-5(4)-(2-chromonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles have been obtained from the reactions of 2-(2-aryl-1,2-dibromoethyl)chromones, 2-(-bromostyryl)chromones, and 2-styrylchromones with sodium azide. The reactions of 2-styrylchromones with sodium azide are more efficient, general, and constitute a one-pot synthetic method of 4(5)-aryl-5(4)-(2-chromonyl)-1,2,3-triazoles allowing the preparation of 1,2,3-triazoles bearing either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing substituents in their aryl ring. The structure of all new compounds was established by extensive NMR spectroscopic studies.

The synthesis, spectroscopic, electrochemical and X-ray diffraction characterization of novel bridged ferrocene precursors for use in self-assembled monolayers

The synthesis of 1,6-diferrocenylhexane-1,6-dione (I), 1-ferrocenylcarbonyl-2-ferrocenylcyclopentene (II) and 1,6-diferrocenylhexane (III) is reported. All three compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and infra-red spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry. Compounds I and III each exhibit a single two electron transfer, while compound (II) exhibits two single electron transfers. Compounds (I) and (II) were further studied by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In compound (I), both carbonyl groups are in plane with the adjacent ferrocenyl Cp ring. For compound (II) one of the ferrocenyl Cp rings is coplanar with the carbonyl group, the other with the double bond of the cyclopentene ring, but the CO moiety and the double bond are basically perpendicular to each other.     

Syntheses of 1′,2′-cyclopentyl nucleosides as potential antiviral agents

To discover novel nucleosides as potential antiviral agents, 1′,2′-cyclopentyl nucleosides were designed as hybrids of sofosbuvir and GS-6620. An asymmetric aldol condensation reaction was used as the key transformation to prepare the versatile 1′,2′-cyclopentyl ribose 6, which is useful to explore diverse bases at 1′ and its utility was demonstrated via the syntheses of nucleosides 9 and 11. The 2′-β-methyl-1′,2′-cyclopentyl ribonucleoside scaffold was exemplified via a C-nucleoside which was prepared using a RCM reaction as the key step leading to novel nucleoside 35.

It was found that the degree of substitution of the heterocycle in decahydroacridinediones has an effect on the direction of their transformations during oximation.

Lewis base effects in the Baylis-Hillman reaction of imines with cyclohex-2-en-1-one and cyclopent-2-en-1-one

In the Baylis-Hillman reaction of N-benzylidene-4-methyl-benzenesulfonamide with cyclohex-2-en-1-one or cyclopent-2-en-1-one, we found that, in the presence of a catalytic amount of DMAP, the Baylis-Hillman reaction can be greatly accelerated to give the normal Baylis-Hillman adduct 1 or 3 in good or very high yields: moreover, using PBu3 as a Lewis base in the reaction of N-benzylidene-4-methylbenzenesulfonamide with cyclopent-2-en-1-one, the normal Baylis-Hillman adducts 3 could be obtained in very high yields within 5 h, however, using PBu3 or DBU as a Lewis base in the reaction of N-benzylidene-4-methyl-benzenesulfonamide with cyclohex-2-en-1-one, beside the normal Baylis-Hillman adduct 1 abnormal Baylis-Hillman adduct 3-aryl-2-[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]-2-azabicyclo[2.2.2]octan-5-one 2 was formed at the same time; the substituent's effects were also examined.

Studies towards the synthesis of ertugliflozin from l-Arabinose

A new method for the diastereoselective synthesis of enantiomerically pure ertugliflozin was developed. The crucial step involves an aldol condensation between 1-(4-chloro-3-(4-ethoxybenzyl)phenyl)ethanone and (4R,5R)-5-(((tert-butyldimethylsilyl)oxy)methyl)-2,2-dimethyl-5-((trityloxy)methyl)-1,3-dioxolane-4-carbaldehyde, which was prepared from known 2-C-trityloxymethyl-2,3-O-isopropylidene-l-erythrose (easily accessible in three steps from l-arabinose) by standard reduction/oxidation and protection/deprotection manipulations. Dihydroxylation of the aldol condensation product and further global deprotection led to the formation of the target molecule.     

Kinetics of self-condensation of acetone over heterogeneous Ba(OH)2 and Sr(OH)2 catalysts

Catalytic performance of Ba(OH)₂ and Sr(OH)₂ in self-condensation of acetone was examined in the temperature range from 273 to 303 K. A kinetic model of second order with respect to acetone was used for interpretation of the results obtained for the diacetone alcohol formation.This revised version was published online in December 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Formation of Dimers of Some 2‐Substituted Indan‐1‐one Derivatives during Base‐Mediated Cross‐Aldol Condensation

Unexpected dimers of some 2‐substituted indan‐1‐one derivatives were isolated during aldol condensation of indan‐1‐one with various aldehydes in the presence of KOH (see Scheme). Monomeric products, usually expected from aldol condensation, further underwent a base‐catalyzed nucleophilic addition reaction to their dimeric form in some cases. The structures of these dimers were characterized by using various spectral techniques and in one case, structural details were determined from a high‐resolution crystallographic analysis.
