3-Diethoxyphosphorylpropionic Acid,a Convenient Reagent for the Synthesis of ß,γ-Unsaturated Amides

Abstract

β,γ-Unsaturated amides are versatile intermediates in the organic synthesis e.g. in the synthesis of various analogues of penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, and 1) functionalized monocyclic β-lactam antibiotics. We have now developed a novel route to β,γ-unsaturated. amides 3 starting from di ethoxyphosphory l propionic acid (1). Dilithium derivative of the acid 1 reacts with a variety of carbonyl compounds to give lactons 2. Treatment of 2 with amines results in nucleophilic lacton ring opening with subsequent Horner-Emnons olefination to give 3 (R⁵=HI. Alkylation of the lithiated lacton 2 with alkyl halogens folloved by the ring opening-olefination sequence provides d-substituted α, -unsaturated amides 3 (R⁵=alkyl).     

1,1-DIANIONS OF ALKYL PHENYL SULPHONES AS SYNTHETIC INTERMEDIATES IN CYCLIZATION REACTIONS

Abstract

α-Sulphonyl carbanions are known to be good nucleophiles both in intermolecular and in intramolecular reactions¹. In the same way gem-dimetalloderivatives of alkyl phenyl sulphones I a,b readily add to aldehydes and ketones to give the (β-hydroxy compounds II in the case of dilithioderivatives Ia, while from dimagnesioderivatives Ib α, β-unsaturated sulphones III are also obtained².

Herein we report that the reaction of hypochlorous acid with certain α,β-unsaturated acids in a two phase system^1,2 affords α-chloro-β-lactones^3,4 in poor to fair yield. Thus, β-lactones 4, 5, and 6 are obtained from acids 1, 2 and 3, respectively, where the β-carbon of the acid is disubstituted.     

Umpolung of α-Allenic Ketones and Esters by Phosphorus Groups

Abstract

Change in the regioselectivity of the addition of nucleophilic compounds YH (ROH, RSH, RNH₂) on α -allenic ketones and esters can be achieved by using the triphenylphosphonio group as an umpolung agent¹⁾. In this way α, β-unsaturated ketones and esters 4 are obtained with heteroatomic substituents in the γ position. The Umpolung scheme of the activated allene 1 is charaterized by a functional vinylphosphonium salt 2 as a synthetic equivalent of the a⁴-synthon 3.     

New and Stereospecific Synthesis of α-Ethylenic Ketones

Abstract

H. Kise et al¹ have shown that the reaction of β-propiolactones 1 with ylides 2 give phosphonium carboxylate betaïne 3. We now report that, carried out under different conditions, reaction of lactones 1 with the same ylides proceeds through pathway (b). Thermolysis of 4 affords α-ethylenic ketones 5. The mecanism of this new extrusion reaction of triphenylphosphine oxyde probably involves the generation of an oxaphosphene as an intermediate.     

Lewis Acid-Mediated Addition of Lithiated Alkyl Phenyl Sulphones and Oxiranes. A Method for Synthesis of α, β-Unsaturated Ketones

Efficiency of the reaction of lithiated alkyl aryl sulphones (1–4) with oxiranes (5, 6) is increased by the presence of BF₃ or CeCl₃. The respective adducts (7–14) were transformed into α,β-unsaturated ketones (15–22) with high yields.

Heterobicycles of δ-lactam fused with imidazolidine (4, 7), hexahydropyrimidine (5, 8), or hexahydro-1, 3-diazepine (6, 9) were synthesized by the reaction of heterocyclic ketene aminals 1, 2 or 3 with ester of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids.     

Reactions of a New Type of Intermediate Formed by Triflate Rearrangement

Treatment of methyl 4-O-benzoyl-2, 6-dideoxy-β-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (6) with triflic anhydride in The presence of 2, 6-di-t-butyl-4-methylpyridine (7) produces methyl 4-O-benzoyl-2, 6-dideoxy-3-O-(tri-fluoromethylsulfonyl) -β-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (8), a compound which rearranges to a new and highly unstable triflate (10) upon standing at room temperature. Bromide ion reacts with 10 to give methyl 4-O-benzoyl-3-bromo-2,3,6-trideoxy-β-D-arabino-hexopyranoside (11), a product of displacement at C-3. A similar reaction takes place with nitrate ion to give methyl 4-O-benzoyl-2, 6-dideoxy-3-O-nitro-β-D)-arabino-hexopyranoside (15). Reaction of 10 with water and with tributyltin hydride results in capture of the cation 12, formed by ionization of 10, to give methyl 3-O-benzoyl-2,6-dideoxy-β-D-ribo-hexopyranoside (14) and methyl 3, 4-O-benzylidene-2, 6-dideoxy-β-D-ribo-hexopyranosi de (16), respectively. The cation 12 also reacts with methanol to afford the orthobenzoates 17 and 18.

Selective Hydrolysis of Thioacetals with Thallium(III) Nitrate

In connection with research at present being pursued in these laboratories we required quantities of thioacetal (1) for study. Reaction of Wieland-Miescher ketone (2) with one equivalent of 1,2-ethanedithiol gave only (3) resulting from reaction at the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group. The structure for (3) was deduced primarily from C n. m. r. which showed a saturated carbonyl absorption (δ212.6)¹. The preferential reaction of 1,2-ethanedithiol with α,β-unsaturated ketone     

A Facile Method for the Bishomologation of Ketones to α,β-Unsaturated Aldehydes: Application to the Synthesis of the Cyclohexanoid Components of the Boll Weevil Sex Attractant

The acid-catalyzed isomerization of tertiary vinyl carbinols (2) to the corresponding primary allylic alcohols (5) has been reported numerous times in the chemical literature.¹ In addition, the corresponding acetylenic carbinols (3) have been shown² to rearrange to α,β-unsaturated aldehydes (6) when treated with aqueous acid. Since yields are generally low under the conditions required for the latter transformation, a better method³ involves the isomerization of the corresponding tertiary acetylenic acetate (4) in the presence of silver ion to an allenic acetate, followed by hydrolysis to the desired α,β-unsaturated aldehyde (6).     

Stereochemistry of the Addition of Organometallic Reagents to Methyl 2,3-O-Isopropylidene-β-D-ribo-pentodialdo-1,4-furanose

Darstellung Von β-D-Olivosyl(1→3)-D-olivosiden Aus Mithramycin

Abstract

The benzyl glycoside 4 obtained from 2-bromo-2-deoxy-α-0-quinovosyl bromide 1, readily accessible by the dibromomethyl methyl ether reaction of 2, is deformylated to give the monohydroxy compound 5 which is used in glycosidation reactions. Treatment of 3 with dibromomethyl methyl ether results in the formation of the labile β-furanosyl bromide 7 and the cyrstalline pyranosyl bromide 8 in a ratio of 1:2, both of which are further characterized by their methyl glycosides 10 and 11, respectively. Action of dibromomethyl methyl ether at room temperature on the benzyl ether 6, conventionally prepared from 3, is shown to proceed initially to the glycosyl bromide 9. Compound 9 is cleaved to the 4-formyl-blocked pyranosyl bromide 12, and only after prolonged reaction time gives the pyranosyl halide 8. The glycosidation of the glycosyl bromide 1 with benzyl-4–0-benzyl-α-D-olivoside 13 in the presence of silver carbonate and silicate is a sluggish reaction and gives rather low yields of the β-and the α, l-3-linked disaccharides 15 and 16 in the ratio 3–4:1. With silver triflate the yield is improved to the 61% and the ratio 6:1 in favour of 15.

Further transformations lead to both the syrupy olivosyl olivosides 17. and 18. In a more favourable reaction sequence 1 is condensed with the alcohol component 5 and silver triflate as promoter and yields the crystalline β-(19) and the α, 1→3-linked disaccharides (20) in 92% and a ratio of 6.5: 1. By subsequent transformations the protected title tetradeoxy disaccharide 21 is obtained.     

Darstellung Der Isomeren 1,6-DI-O-Acetyl-3,4-Didesoxy-α, β-D-Glycero-Hex-3-Enopyrahos-2-Ulosen

Abstract

Prolonged treatment of tetra-O-acetyl-1, 5-anhydro-hex-1-enitols (“tetra-O-acetyl-hydroxy-glycals”) 3 and 5 with BF₃ in CH₂Cl₂ at RT lead to anomeric mixtures of the title compounds 2 and 4a, the α-anomer 4a dominating. Reaction of 5 gave the higher yields of 4a (71%) and 2 (12%), the results being accounted mechanistic grounds. The same reaction performed in an aromatic solvent, like toluene, gave rise to competing C-alkylation., The ortho and para-tolyl derivatives 6 and 7, also with enone structure, were isolated in a combined maximum yield of 40% from 5. β-Enone 2 was also prepared in moderate yield by thermolysis of β-d-glucopyranose pentaacetate (1). In this case no α-anomer 4a was detected.     

Synthesis of 6′-Aminohexyl 2-Acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactoside Isomers and a Unique Isomerization Catalyzed by Ion Exchange Resin

The 6-aminohexyl α- and β-pyranosides and β-furanoside of 2-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-galactose (N-acetyl-D-galactosamine) were prepared. N-Acetyl-D-galactosamine was reacted with acetyl chloride in the cold. The per-O-acetyl 1-chloro derivative was then reacted with 6-(N-trifluoroacetyl) aminohexanol in the presence of mercuric cyanide. Glycoside products were isolated by gel chroraatography, de-O-acetylated, and de-N-trifluoroacety-lated. The β-pyranoside, which is the major product, was obtained in 29% overall yield, as well as the β-furanoside.

The α-pyranoside was prepared in 70% overall yield by reacting 2-acetamido-1, 3, 4, 6-tetra-O-acetyl-2-deoxy-α-D-galacto-pyranose, which is a byproduct of the above synthetic scheme (22%), with 6-(N-trifluoroacetyl)aminohexanol in the presence of boron trifluoride etherate.

A strong cation exchange resin (Dowex 50X8, H⁺ form) catalyzed interconversion of the β-furanoside and the β-pyranoside, with the latter predominating at equilibrium. The α-pyranoside was not produced in any appreciable amount in the Dowex-catalyzed isomerization. Although the allyl β-pyranoside and β-furanoside of N-acetyl-D-galactosamine also isomerized under similar conditions, the competing hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond occurred to a greater extent. A possible mechanizm for the isomerization is discussed.     

Reaction of Aziridinones with 2-Lithio-1, 3-Dithiane: Selective Cleavage of the Aziridinone Ring

The reaction of aziridinones (1a-1d) with tert-butyllithium at room temperature affords α-hydroxy imines (5ax-5dx).¹ One possible pathway leading to these products involves the formation of 2 as an intermediate, followed by rearrangement to 3. In fact, under carefully controlled conditions that prevent the rearrange-of 2 to 3, α-amino ketones (4ax-4dx), which arise from the protonation of 2, can be isolated. Other α-amino ketones were synthesized in a like manner from aziridinones by treatment with a variety of alkyllithium reagents.² Baumgarten and co-workers³ subsequently reported similar products from the reaction of phenyllithium and methyllithium with an aziridinone. In an attempt to extend this study to other organolithium reagents, especially those bearing functional groups, we have investigated the reaction of
