Diastereoselective Cyclopropanation Utilizing a New Chiral N,O-Acetals Prepared by Electrochemical Oxidation of Carbamates

A new chiral bicyclic tetrahydropyridine derivative was synthesized from L -lysine derivatives utilizing electrochemical oxidation as a key step. Allyl alcohols were incorporated into the tetrahydropyridine derivative to afford N,O-acetals, and the reaction of the resulting N,O-acetals with a carbenoid, which was generated from Et₂Zn and CH₂l₂, yielded cyclopropanated products in moderate diastereoselectivities.

Structural Effects on the Intrinsic Basicities of alpha,beta-Unsaturated Lactones and Ketones

The proton affinities of 2(5H)-furanone, 1 (836 kJ/mol), 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-one, 2 (862 kJ/mol), cyclopentenone, 3 (857 kJ/mol), and cyclohexenone, 4 (863 kJ/mol), have been measured by Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance techniques. A comparison is made with (reexamined) data concerning saturated cyclic and unsaturated aliphatic analogs. Three general observations are made. First, the basicity is found to increase with the size of the ring. Second, unsaturated lactones are more basic than their corresponding aliphatic unsaturated esters. Third, unsaturated and saturated lactones have almost identical gas-phase basicities, while unsaturated and saturated lactones have almost identical gas-phase basicities, while unsaturated cyclic ketones are more basic than their saturated analogs. All these experimental findings have been rationalized by means of ab initio calculations up to the G2(MP2,SVP) level. The basicity trends along the series are the result of two main factors: the different hybridization pattern of the carbonyl carbon as the size of the ring changes and, in the case of lactones, the nonbonding interaction between the proton attached to the carbonyl group and the ether-like oxygen which contributes to the enhanced stability of the protonated form. For unsaturated ketones the C=C double bond participates fully in the change in charge distribution induced by the protonation, while for unsaturated lactones the existence of an oxygen atom within the ring impedes this shift of the electron density.     

Fischer Carbene Complexes as Chemical Multitalents: The Incredible Range of Products from Carbenepentacarbonylmetal alpha,beta-Unsaturated Complexes

The metal carbene complexes, discovered by E. O. Fischer at the start of the 1960s and carrying his name, have since proved themselves to be irreplaceable building blocks for organic synthesis. In particular, since the discovery of the D?tz reaction, a formal cycloaddition of Fischer alpha,beta-unsaturated carbene complexes to alkynes with CO insertion, this area of chemistry has become increasingly interesting to organic chemists. In spite of the considerable diversity of reactions performed with these complexes, proper selection of substrates and careful adjustment of the reaction conditions have allowed, in most cases the perfectly selective preparation of individual compounds of this enormous range of products. The spectrum of new successes begins with the conventional Diels-Alder reaction of alkynylcarbene complexes and the formal regioselective [3+2] cycloaddition of alkenylcarbene complexes to alkynes. It extends much further, however, from cascade reactions with the formation of oligofunctional and oligocyclic products of impressive molecular complexity to complex, formal [3+6] cocyclizations in which six bonds are formed in a single operational step. Beyond doubt, the methodological arsenal of preparative organic chemistry cannot be imagined any more without the valuable transformations of the Fischer carbene complexes; it only remains to be seen whether one or other of the numerous new types of cocyclization products of these complexes can establish itself as a lead structure in the search for biologically active compounds.

Preparation of New Wittig Reagents and Their Application to the Synthesis of alpha,beta-Unsaturated Phosphonates

The Wittig reagent [(diethoxyphosphinyl)methylidene]triphenylphosphorane (1b) has been successfully synthesized for the first time via its phosphonium triflate salt (4a), by treating (diethoxyphosphinyl)methyl triflate with triphenylphosphine. The procedure has been applied to the synthesis of other phosphoranes and phosphonium salts. The new Wittig reagents thus synthesized were treated with various aldehydes and an activated ketone, affording the corresponding alpha,beta-unsaturated phosphonates. Triphenylphosphorane 1b and triphenylphosphonium 4a led to both cis and trans isomers with the latter being predominant, while trans isomers were almost exclusively formed when tributyl reagents (1c and 4d) were used.

Novel Chiral Auxiliary for Attempted Resolution of Key Roxifiban Intermediate: A Simple Diastereoselective Coupling Approach for the Synthesis of Roxifiban

This article describes a simple method for the synthesis of roxifiban, a potent glycoprotein GP IIb‐IIIa receptor antagonist, by a diastereoselective coupling approach to give >99.9% optical purity. We have also described an attempt to resolve the key synthetic intermediate by diastereomeric ester formation. Although we have been able to separate two diastereomeric esters, the removal of the chiral auxiliary led to partial racemization.     

Diastereoselective synthesis of alpha,beta'-disubstituted aminomethyl(2-carboxyethyl)phosphinates as phosphinyl dipeptide isosteres

A new and efficient method has been developed for the diastereoselective synthesis of unnatural dipeptide analogues containing the metabolically stable phosphinic moiety, NH 2XaaPsi[P(O)OHCH 2]XaaOH, which mimics the transition state of tetrahedral geometry of a scissile peptide bond in hydrolysis by protease. The method is based upon stereospecific Michael addition of stereodefined alpha-aminoalkyl- H-phosphinates to acrylates and subsequent diastereoselective alkylation at the beta'-position of the resulting Michael adducts.
