Asymmetric synthesis of 5-arylcyclohexenones by rhodium(I)-catalyzed conjugate arylation of racemic 5-(trimethylsilyl)cyclohexenone with arylboronic acids

[reaction: see text] A catalytic asymmetric conjugate arylation of racemic 5-(trimethylsilyl)cyclohex-2-enone with arylboronic acids was catalyzed by 3 mol % chiral amidophosphane- or BINAP-Rh(I) in dioxane-water (10:1) to afford trans- and cis-3-aryl-5-(trimethylsilyl)cyclohexanones in high enantioselectivity. Dehydrosilylation of the product mixture with cupric chloride in DMF gave 5-arylcyclohex-2-enones with up to 93% ee in good yield. Enantiofacial selectivity with chiral phosphane-Rh(I) exceeds the trans-diastereoselectivity that is maintained in the achiral or racemic phosphane-Rh(I)-catalyzed conjugate arylation of 5-(trimethylsilyl)cyclohexenone.

Studies on the Thioglycosides of N-Acetylneuraminic Acid 7: Synthesis of S-(α-Sialyl)-(2↠6)-β-D-Hexopyranosyl and -(2↠6)-β-D-Lactosyl Ceramides and their Biological Activity

ABSTRACT

The coupling of the sodium salt of methyl 5-acetamido-4,7,8,9-tetra-O-acetyl-3, 5-dideoxy-2-thio-D-glycero-α-D-galacto-2-nonulopyranosonate (17) with 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-6-bromo-6-deoxy-β-D-galactopyranoside (5), glucopyranoside (10), and 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl 2,3,6,2′,3′,4′-hexa-O-acetyl-6′-bromo-6′-deoxy-β-D-lactoside (16), gave the corresponding α-thioglycosides 18, 21, and 24 of the 2-thio-N-acetyl-neuraminic acid derivative in good yields, which were converted, via selective removal of the 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl group, trichloroacetimidation, and coupling with (2S,3R,4E)-2-azido-3-O-benzoyl-4-octadecene-1,3-diol (27), into the ß-glycosides 28, 32, and 36, respectively.

Compounds 28, 32, and 36 were transformed, via selective reduction of the azide group, coupling with octadecanoic acid, O-deacetylation, and de-esterification, into the title compounds 31, 35, and 39, which showed potent inhibitory effect for sialidases from influenza and other viruses.     

Asymmetric total synthesis of (-)-quinocarcin

(-)-Quinocarcin (1) has been synthesized in a longest linear sequence of 22 steps from 3-hydroxybenzaldehyde in 16% overall yield. The Pictet-Spengler reaction of L-tert-butyl-2-bromo-5-hydroxy phenylalanate (17), synthesized according to Corey-Lygo's enantioselective alkylation process, with benzoxyacetaldehyde (12) under mild acidic conditions afforded 1,3-cis tetrahydroisoquinoline 20 as an only isolable stereomer in 91% yield. The diazabicycle[3,2,1]-octane ring system of 28 was constructed by a silver tetrafluoroborate-promoted intramolecular Mannich reaction using amino thioether as a latent N-acyliminium species and tethered silyl enol ether as a nucleophile. Using amino thioether instead of aminal as a precursor of N-acyliminium was of high importance to the success of this otherwise disfavored 5-endo-Trig cyclization. A Hf(OTf)4-catalyzed (0.1 equiv) transformation of aminal to amino thioether was uncovered in the course of this study, allowing the conversion of tricyclic aminal 24 to amino thioether 25 to be realized in high yield. From the bridged tetracyclic compound 28, a sequence of oxidation of aldehyde to acid, global deprotection under hydrogenolysis conditions, and one-pot partial reduction of lactam to aminal/oxazolidine formation completed the total synthesis of the pentacyclic (-)-quinocarcine.     

Synthesis of (-)-tetracycline

We describe a convergent, enantioselective synthesis of (-)-tetracycline (1) from benzoic acid (17 steps, 1.1% yield). Benzoic acid was transformed into the AB precursor 2 in 10 steps (11% yield), as previously described, and the latter compound was activated toward Diels-Alder cycloaddition by the introduction of an alpha-phenylthio group (two steps, 66% yield). Heating of the resulting alpha-(phenylthio)enone (3) with the triethylsilyloxybenzocyclobutene derivative 4 at 85 degrees C gave the endo-Diels Alder adduct 5 in 64% yield. Deprotection and oxidation of the latter intermediate gave the 2-(phenylthio)-1,3-diketone 7, which was oxidized with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. The sulfoxide intermediate(s) formed eliminated upon warming to 35 degrees C to give the anyhydrotetracycline derivative 8. Intermediate 8 underwent spontaneous autoxidation at 23 degrees C to form the hydroperoxide keto-9 stereoselectively. Without isolation, hydrogenolysis of 9 in the presence of palladium black gave (-)-tetracycline (42% yield from 7), indistinguishable from an authentic sample.     

Regiospecific Displacement of the C-B Bond of Tris[4-(substituted)furan-3-yl]boroxines with C-Sn Bond and C-O Bond: Syntheses of 3,4-Disubstituted Furans and 4-Substituted-3(2H)-furanones,

Tris[4-(substituted)furan-3-yl]boroxines 2 , prepared from the corresponding 4-(substituted)-3-(trimethylsilyl) furan 1, were converted successfully to 4-(substituted)-3-(tributylstannyl)furans 3 through palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions with tributylstannyl chloride. Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of 3 with organohalides afforded 3,4-disubstituted furans 4 . Regiospecific iodination of 4-(trimethylsilyl)-3-((tributylstannyl) furan ( 3a ) gave 4-iodo-3-(trimethylsilyl)furan ( 5 ), which reacted with excess ethyl acrylate under a common Heck-condition to produce 2,3-bis(trans-ethoxycarbonylvinyl)-4-(trimethylsilyl)furan ( 6 ). A thermal 6-electrocyclic reaction followed by dehydration converted 6 into benzo[2,3-6]furan 8 . Oxidation of 2 generated the corresponding 4-substituted-3(2H)-furanones 9 .

Syntheses of substituted 2-(l-methyl-2-imidazolyl)quinolines

Reaction of methyllithium with 1-methy1-2-imidazolecarboxaldehyde afforded the corresponding alcohol 2. Oxidation of compound 2 with manganese dioxide gave 2-acety1-1-methylimidazole ( 3 ). Using compound 3 and substituted isatins 4 , the corresponding quinoline-4-carboxylic acids ( 5 ) were prepared. The reaction of acid imidazolides of 5 with appropriate amines yielded the amides 6 . Carbamic acid esters 10 were prepared by the Curtius rearrangement in good yield. Substituted quinolin-4-amines 13 were obtained by the acid hydrolysis of compound 10 (R₁ = t-Bu). Alkylation of amines 13 with diakylaminoalkyl chlorides gave compounds 14 .     

Application of substituted 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl esters to suppress diketopiperazine formation

The use of differently substituted 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl esters for C-terminal protection in peptide synthesis has been investigated. While the use of the unsubstituted 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl ester resulted in a substantial amount of diketopiperazine at the dipeptide stage, use of the corresponding methyl-substituted silyl ester gave a significant reduction of this undesired pathway. Both esters could be deprotected by fluoride-induced cleavage under mild conditions.     

Photochemical and Acid-Catalyzed Rearrangements of 4-Carbomethoxy-4-methyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one

The synthesis of 4-carbomethoxy-4-methyl-3-(trimethylsilyl)-2,5-cyclohexadien-1-one (1) in 60% overall yield from benzaldehyde is described. Irradiation (366 nm) of 1 in benzene solution gave products of type A photorearrangement; e.g., diastereomers of the 4-(trimethylsilyl)- and 5-(trimethylsilyl)bicyclo[3.1.0]hex-3-en-2-ones 8 and 9. Bicyclohexenones 9a and 9b could not be isolated, but underwent acid-catalyzed protiodesilylative rearrangements on attempted chromatography (silica gel) to give a 1:1 mixture of (E)- and (Z)-4-(carbomethoxymethylmethylene)cyclopent-2-en-1-ones 12 and 13. Irradiation (366 nm) of either 12 or 13 resulted in photoisomerization to a photostationary state that was also a 1:1 mixture. Irradiation of 8a or 8b gave equivalent mixtures of phenols 14 and 15 by way of the type B oxyallyl zwitterion 17. The available experimental evidence suggests that both 9a and 9b undergo regiospecific photorearrangement to phenol 16 with no trace of 3-methyl-4-carbomethoxyphenol (19), the product of ipso substitution of the Me(3)Si group at C(4). Phenol 15 was isolated in 65% yield from the photoreaction of 1 in benzene with 20 equiv of CF(3)CO(2)H. The acid-catalyzed rearrangement of 1 to 3-carbomethoxy-4-methylphenol (21) occurs in 91% yield by way of CO(2)Me group rearrangement to C(3) to give the Me(3)Si-stabilized carbocation 23.     

Enantioselective synthesis of the excitatory amino acid (1S,3R)-1-aminocyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid

An enantioselective synthesis of the alpha,alpha-dialkyl-alpha-amino acid (1S,3R)-ACPD has been achieved using an alkylidene carbene 1,5-CH insertion reaction as a key step. The ketone cyclization precursor was synthesized from Garner's aldehyde in high yield via a Wittig homologation and subsequent catalytic hydrogenation. Treatment of the ketone with 1.2 equiv of lithio(trimethylsilyl)diazomethane in THF resulted in the formation of the corresponding cyclopentene-containing CH-insertion product in 62-69% yield in high enantiomeric excess. Subsequent functional group manipulation allowed the synthesis of the amino acid (1S,3R)-ACPD to be completed.     

Synthesis and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis of 2-sulfamoyladenosine (6-amino-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine-2-sulfonamide)

2-Amino-9-β-D-ribofuranosylpurine-2-sulfonamide (2-sulfamoyladenosine, 4 ), a congener of sulfonosine ( 3 ), was synthesized by four different routes. Acid catalyzed fusion of 6-chloropurine-2-sulfonyl fluoride ( 5 ) with 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranose ( 8 ) gave a good yield of 6-chloro-9-(2,3,5-tri-O-acetyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)purine-2-sulfonyl fluoride ( 9 ). Ammonolysis of 9 furnished 4 . Lewis acid catalyzed glycosylation of the trimethylsilyl derivative of either 6-chloropurine-2-sulfonamide ( 6 ) or 6-aminopurine-2-sulfonamide ( 7 ) with 8 gave the corresponding N9-glycosylated products, 10 and 11 , respectively, which on ammonolysis gave 4 . Amination of 2-thioadenosine ( 12 ) with chloramine solution gave the sulfenamide derivative 13 , which on subsequent oxidation with m-chloroperoxybenzoic acid furnished an alternate route to 4 . The structure of 4 was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. 2-Sulfamoyladenosine ( 4 ) is devoid of significant inhibitory activity against L1210 leukemia in mice.     

Synthesis of analogs of amrinone: 4-(3,4-Disubstitutedphenyl)pyridines and derivatives thereof

4-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)pyridine ( 5c ) prepared by the coupling of 3,4-dimethoxyphenyldiazonium chloride with pyridine was converted to 4-(4-pyridinyl)benzene-1,2-diol ( 6c ) by treating with hydrobromic acid. Diazotization of 4-(4-pyridinyl)benzeneamine ( 7 ) and 3-(4-pyridinyl)benzeneamine ( 12 ) gave the corresponding phenols 8 and 13 which were nitrated to give 2-nitro-4-(4-pyridinyl)phenol ( 9 ) and 2-nitro-5-(4-pyridinyl)-phenol ( 14 ), respectively. Reduction of these nitrophenols gave the corresponding aminophenols 10 and 16 which in turn were reacted with N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole to yield benzoxazolones 11 and 17 , respectively. Catalytic reduction of 2-nitro-4-(4-pyridinyl)benzeneamine ( 18 ) gave 4-(4-pyridinyl)benzene-1,2-diamine ( 19 ) which was reacted with orthoesters, urea, tetraethoxymethane, and N,N'-di(carbomethoxy)methylpseudothiourea to give the corresponding benzimidazole derivatives 20, 21, 22 , and 23 .     

Synthesis of aryl- and hetarylphosphonates

The reaction of tris(trimethylsilyl) phosphite with aryl or hetaryl halides under homogeneous catalysis conditions gave bis(trimethylsilyl)phosphonates. Treatment of these products with methanol gave the corresponding arylor hetarylphosphonic acids in quantitative yield.M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, 119899 Moscow.

The synthesis of four isomeric bisthienothiepinones

The displacement reaction between sodium thiophene-3-thiolate and methyl 3-(bromomethyl)thiophene-2-carboxylate ( 5 ) gave the expected thioether 7a . Basic hydrolysis afforded the carboxylic acid 7b ; conversion to the acid chloride, and treatment of the latter with stannic chloride then produced the bisthienothiepinone 1 . Using analogous reactions the isomers 2-4 were also synthesized.     

A cassette ligation strategy with thioether replacement of three Gly-Gly peptide bonds: total chemical synthesis of the 101 residue protein early pregnancy factor [psi(CH(2)S)28-29,56-57,76-77

The 101 residue protein "early pregnancy factor" (EPF), also known as human chaperonin 10, was synthesized from four functionalized, but unprotected, peptide segments by a sequential thioether ligation strategy. The approach exploits the differential reactivity of a peptide-NHCH(2)CH(2)SH thiolate with XCH(2)CO-peptides, where X = Cl or I/Br. Initial model studies with short functionalized (but unprotected) peptides showed a significantly faster reaction of a peptide-NHCH(2)CH(2)SH thiolate with a BrCH(2)CO-peptide than with a ClCH(2)CO-peptide, where thiolate displacement of the halide leads to chemoselective formation of a thioether surrogate for the Gly-Gly peptide bond. This rate difference was used as the basis of a novel sequential ligation approach to the synthesis of large polypeptide chains. Thus, ligation of a model bifunctional N(alpha)-chloroacetyl, C-terminal thiolated peptide with a second N(alpha)-bromoacetyl peptide demonstrated chemoselective bromide displacement by the thiol group. Further investigations showed that the relatively unreactive N(alpha)-chloroacetyl peptides could be "activated" by halide exchange using saturated KI solutions to yield the highly reactive N(alpha)-iodoacetyl peptides. These findings were used to formulate a sequential thioether ligation strategy for the synthesis of EPF, a 101 amino acid protein containing three Gly-Gly sites approximately equidistantly spaced within the peptide chain. Four peptide segments or "cassettes" comprising the EPF protein sequence (BrAc-[EPF 78-101] 12, ClAc-[EPF 58-75]-[NHCH(2)CH(2)SH] 13, ClAc-[EPF 30-55]-[NHCH(2)CH(2)SH] 14, and Ac-[EPF 1-27]-[NHCH(2)CH(2)SH] 15) of EPF were synthesized in high yield and purity using Boc SPPS chemistry. In the stepwise sequential ligation strategy, reaction of peptides 12 and 13 was followed by conversion of the N-terminal chloroacetyl functional group to an iodoacetyl, thus activating the product peptide for further ligation with peptide 14. The process of ligation followed by iodoacetyl activation was repeated to yield an analogue of EPF (EPF psi(CH(2)S)(28)(-)(29,56)(-)(57,76)(-)(77)) 19 in 19% overall yield.     

Synthesis of 6-amino-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c] pyridin-4(5H)one (8-aza-3-deazaguanine) and 6-amino-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c] pyridin-4(5H)one (8-Aza-3-deazaguanosine) via novel ring closure procedures

The total synthesis of 6-amino-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4(5H)one (8-aza-3-deazaguanine, 3 ) and 6-amino-1-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-c]pyridin-4(5H)one (8-aza-3-deazaguano-sine, 22 ) has been described for the first time by a novel base-catalyzed ring closure of 4(5)-cyanomethyl-1,2,3-triazole-5(4)carboxamide (14) and methyl 5-cyanomethyl-1-(2,3,5-tri-O-ben-zoyl-β-D-ribofuranosyl)-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (17) , respectively. Under the catalysis of DBU, 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone of dimethyl 1,3-acetonedicarboxylate (7) was converted to methyl 5-methoxycarbonylmethyl-1-(2,4-dinitroanilino)-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylate (12) via dimethyl 2-diazo-3-iminoglutarate (8) . Catalytic reduction of 12 gave methyl 4(5)methoxycar-bonylmethyl-1,2,3-triazole-5(4)carboxylate (11) from which methyl 4(5)carbamoylmethyl-1,2,3-triazole-5(4)carboxylate (10) was obtained by ammonolysis. Dehydration of 10 provided methyl 4(5)cyanomethyl-1,2,3-triazole-5(4)carboxylate (13) which on amination gave 14 . The 1,2,3-triazole nucleosides 17, 18 and 19 were obtained from the stannic chloride-catalyzed condensation of the trimethylsilyl 13 and a fully acylated β-D-ribofuranose. The yield and ratio of the ribofuranosyl derivatives of 13 markedly depends on the ratio of stannic chloride used. The structures of the nucleosides 22 and 23 were established by a combination of NOE, ¹H-nmr and ¹³C-nmr spectroscopy.     

Efficient and beta-Stereoselective Synthesis of 4(5)-(beta-D-Ribofuranosyl)- and 4(5)-(2-Deoxyribofuranosyl)imidazoles(1)

A synthetic route to 4(5)-(beta-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole (1), starting from 2,3,5-tri-O-benzyl-D-ribose (5), was developed via a Mitsunobu cyclization. Reaction of 5 with the lithium salt of bis-protected imidazole afforded the corresponding 5-ribosylimidazole 7RS. Hydrolysis of 7RS gave a 1:1 mixture of diol isomers 8R and 8S having an unsubstituted imidazole. Mitsunobu cyclization of the mixture 8RS using N,N,N',N'-tetramethylazodicarboxamide and Bu(3)P exclusively afforded benzylated beta-ribofuranosyl imidazole 9beta in 92% yield, accompanied by alpha-anomer 9alpha, in a ratio of 26.3:1. The configuration of 9beta was established by X-ray crystallography of ethoxycarbonyl derivative 10beta. Reductive debenzylation of 9beta over Pd/C was carried out, and the synthesis of 1 was attained from starting 5 in four steps and 87% overall yield. This synthetic methodology was extended to the synthesis of 4(5)-(2-deoxy-beta-D-ribofuranosyl)imidazole (2). Mitsunobu cyclization of a 1:1 mixture of the corresponding diol isomers 14RS produced 15beta and 15alpha in a ratio of 5.4:1. The synthesis of 2 was attained in a 59% overall yield from the starting 3,5-di-O-benzyl-2-deoxy-D-ribose (12). beta-Stereoselective glycosylation in the key step is discussed and explained by intramolecular hydrogen bonding between an NH in the imidazole and the oxygen functional group in the sugar moiety.
