Solid-phase Synthesis of-Haloaldehydes from Polymer-supported 4-(Phenylseleno)morpholine

Polymer-supported reagents for organic synthesis are enjoying a renewed popularity with the emergence of combinatorial chemistry in recent years1. 4-(Arylseleno)morpholines formed in situ are useful -seleno-introducing reagents for saturated aldehydes2. -Sele- noaldehydes, as a frequently used intermediates, can be converted into -haloaldehydes by halogenating reaction3. However, organic selenium reagents always have a foul smell and are quite toxic, which is often problematic in organic sy…

The Synthesis of 3-(R)- and 3-(S)-Hydroxyeicosapentaenoic Acid

Monohydroxylated polyunsaturated fatty acids belonging to the oxylipin class of natural products are present in marine and terrestrial sources as well as in the human body. Due to their biological activities and role in diverse biosynthetic pathways, oxylipins biosynthesized from eicosapentaenoic acid and arachidonic acid have attracted great interest from the scientific community. One example is 3-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid where the absolute configuration at C-3 has only been tentatively assigned. In this paper, studies on acetate type aldol reactions that enabled the preparation of 3-(R)-hydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid (3R-HETE, 2) and its enantiomer are presented.     

Circular Dichroism of Some 2-(Phenylmethyl)pyridine Derivatives

The absolute configuration of the 2-(phenylmethyl)pyridine derivatives 1 – 9 had been established by X-ray diffraction and chemical correlation. Their CD spectra have been studied in different solvents for the free and protonated forms. It has now been found that, from the sign of the strong CD couplet between 270 and 220 nm, which was observable for all these compounds besides 7 and 9 , their absolute configuration can be determined much quicker.     

Synthesis of (+)-(S)-Streptenol A and Biomimetic Synthesis of (2R,4S)- and (2S,4S)-2-(Pent-3-enyl)piperidin-4-ol

(+)-(S)-Streptenol A is synthesized by coupling a 1,3-dithiane with an optically pure epoxide. The absolute configuration of (+)-(S)-streptenol A is thereby correlated with that of (S)-malic acid. Stereoselective reduction of an oxime that could easily be prepared from streptenol A gave the (3S,5R)- and (3S,5S)-aminostreptenols, and after cyclization, configurationally pure 2,4-functionalized piperidine alkaloids.

Synthesis of S(+) and R(-)-3-(2-aminopropyl)indole from ethyl-D- and L-tryptophanate

A stereospecific requirement for hallucinogenesis applies to certain molecules containing an asymmetric center. Thus, only the R-isomers of substituted phenylisopropylamines and lysergic acid diethylamide are psychotomimetic. The enantiomers of a minor hallucinogen, S(+)- and R(-)-3-(2-aminopropyl)indole (α-methyltryptamine) ( 6a and 6b ) were synthesized via a 5-step manipulation from D - and L -tryptophan ethyl ester hydrochloride, respectively. Optical purity of these two isomers was determined by pmr spectroscopy of their complexes with a europium chiral shift reagent using the indole C₂ H signal.
