Microwave-promoted catalyst- and solvent-free aza-Diels-Alder reaction of aldimines with 6-[2-(dimethylamino)vinyl]-1,3-dimethyluracil

A microwave-promoted aza-Diels-Alder reaction between 6-[2-(dimethylamino)vinyl]-1,3-dimethyluracil and aldimines has been developed for the construction of dihydropyrido[4,3-d]pyrimidines. Urea is effectively employed as an environmentally benign source of ammonia in the absence of any catalyst or solvent. The key step in the reaction is in situ generation and trapping of the reactive aldimine formed from urea and aldehyde by the diene system of the uracil. The reaction is clean, and excellent yields are obtained in a matter of a few minutes.     

Asymmetric synthesis of (-)-7-epiaustraline and (+)-1,7-diepiaustraline

A diastereoselective and modular approach to the synthesis of the 3-hydroxymethyl-2,3,5,6,7,7a-hexahydro-1H-pyrrolizine-1,2,7-triol structure, characteristic of several natural pyrrolizidine natural products, has been developed. This approach culminated in the synthesis of (-)-7-epiaustraline and (+)-1,7-diepiaustraline. The oxazolidinone group has been found to be a useful protecting group in the RCM reaction and, as part of a pyrrolo[1,2-c]oxazol-3-one ring system, has functioned as a stereo- and regio-directing group in a key diastereoselective cis-dihydroxylation reaction and a regioselective nucleophilic ring-opening of a S,S-dioxo-dioxathiole.

The Lewis acid-catalyzed nazarov reaction of 2-(n-methoxycarbonylamino)-1,4-pentadien-3-ones

[reaction: see text] A highly efficient carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction of lactam-derived vinyl triflates and alkenylboronic acids afforded 2-(N-methoxycarbonylamino)-1,4-pentadien-3-ones as suitable substrates for the Nazarov reaction. The most competent Lewis acids for the Nazarov reaction were Cu(OTf)(2) (2 mol %) and Sc(OTf)(3) (3 mol %) in DCE, which provided the Nazarov products in excellent yield. As both the carbonylative coupling and the subsequent Nazarov reaction were high yielding, the overall methodology is a concise and efficient route to [1]pyrindine systems.     

Synthesis of 1-(R-Phenyl)-5-(R-Methyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic Acids by One-Pot Tandem Reaction

Substituted 1H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acids were synthesized by a three-component reaction of arylazides, ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate, and either O- or S-nucleophiles in the presence of a base catalyst. The reaction most probably proceeded as a [3 + 2] cyclocondensation reaction between arylazide and ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate with the further nucleophilic substitution of chlorine in the chloromethyl group. Reaction optimization was performed to carry out the reaction with an O-nucleophile. Conditions were found under which diethyl 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalate (the product of self-condensation of two molecules of ethyl 4-chloro-3-oxobutanoate with the further oxidation by azide) was obtained.     

Synthesis of 2-[2H]-2-(1-methylalkyl)succinic acids

We describe a specific procedure for the synthesis of deuterium-labelled 2-(1-methylalkyl)succinate established via alkylation of diethyl malonate,Krapcho decarboxylation reaction with D_2O and hydrolysis reaction.Two novel compounds,2-[~2H]-2-ethylsuccinic acid and 2-[~2H]-2-(1-methylheptyl)succinic acid were prepared via this synthetic route and characterized by mass spectrometry and 'H NMR.The results showed that the 2-(1-methylalkyl)succinic acids were deuterated at the β-position,which is considered as an important reaction centre in the anaerobic degradation of n-alkanes.     

Stereoselective Syntheses and Biological Properties of (E)-α-(Methoxyimino)-2-[1-(aryloxy)methyl]-benzeneacetates

(E)-α-(Methoxyimino)-2-[1-(aryloxy)methyl]-benzeneacetates, the analogues of Kresoxim-methyl, were stereoselectively synthesized with the coupling reaction of 2-methylphenyldiazonium chloride and methyl 2-hydroxyiminoacetate in the presence of CuSO4/Na2SO3 as a key step, and it was first found that the coupling reaction could give the key intermediate material(E)- and(Z)-methyl 2-(hydroxyimino)-2-o-tolylacetate with a molar ratio of 14∶1. The(E)-configurations of all these compounds were assigned on the basis of their 2D-NOESY spectra of 1H NMR. The preliminary bioassays indicate that most of the compounds show an activity against a wide variety of fungi.

Total synthesis of (+/-)-didehydrostemofoline (asparagamine A) and (+/-)-isodidehydrostemofoline

The first total syntheses of (+/-)-didehydrostemofoline (1) and (+/-)-isodidehydrostemofoline (3) are reported. The synthesis begins with the Diels-Alder reaction of readily available pyrrole 9 and ethyl (E)-3-nitroacrylate, the latter serving as a regioinverted equivalent of ketene. After hydrogenation to prevent retro-Diels-Alder reaction, the major cycloadduct is transformed to 7-azabicyclo[2.2.1]heptanol 14. Aza-Cope-Mannich reaction of the formaldiminium derivative of 14 delivers 1-azatricyclo[5.3.0.04.10]decane 15, which in 15 additional steps is converted to 1 and 3.

Reactions of 3-(4-Aryl-2-thiazolyl)- and 3-(2-Benzothiazolyl)-2-iminocoumarins with N-Nucleophiles

The reaction of 3-(4-aryl-2-thiazolyl)- and 3-(2-benzothiazolyl)-2-iminocoumarins with N-nucleophiles was studied. This reaction gives 2-N-substituted 3-(4-aryl-2-thiazolyl)- and 3-(2-benzothiazolyl)iminocourmarins. N-Nucleophiles such as arylamines, heterocyclic amines, and hydrazine derivatives undergo this reaction.     

Total enantioselective synthesis of (-)-cytisine

[reaction: see text] The first total enantiosynthesis of the biologically active alkaloid (-)-cytisine is reported, featuring a ruthenium-catalyzed RCM reaction as the key step. The approach relies on readily available cis-piperidine-3,5-dimethanol monoacetate as the chiral building block, and it is suited for achieving the target compound in both enantiomeric forms.     

Expedient synthesis of (+/-)-bipinnatin J

[reaction: see text] A nine-step, stereoselective synthesis of bipinnatin J is described, which features a ruthenium-catalyzed Alder-ene reaction, a Stille cross coupling, and an intramolecular Nozaki-Hiyama-Kishi allylation as key steps. The biosynthetic relationship between bipinnatin J and complex polycyclic diterpenes isolated from gorgonian corals is discussed.     

Furopyridines. XV . Synthesis and properties of ethyl 2-(3-furo[2,3-b]-, -[3,2-b]-, -[2,3-c]- and -[3,2-c]pyridyl)acetate

Ethyl 2-(3-furopyridyl)acetates 10a-d were synthesized from furopyridin-3(2H)-ones 4a-d by the Wittig-Horner reaction with diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate, hydrolysis and the subsequent esterification. Reaction of compounds 10a-d with lithium diisopropylamide (IDA) gave the corresponding methylene-lithiated intermediate, and the subsequent reaction with benzaldehyde, acetone and iodomethane afforded the methylene-alkylated product respectively, while N,N-dimethylacetamide did not give any reaction product. The 2-position of 10a, b and d is alkylated by the lithiation with excess of LDA and the successive reaction with an electrophile.     

2-(3,5-Diaryl-Δ4-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-yliden)-1,3-dithiole eine neue klasse elektronenreicher olefine

The dithiolium perchlorates 3a and b were smoothly converted into the phosphonium perchlorates 4a and b by reaction with tributylphosphin. Their deprotonation with butyllithium generates the methylen-phosphoranes 7 (not isolates), from which the electron-rich olefines 9a-d are obtained by successive treatment with the Δ⁴-1,3,4-thiadiazolium perchlorates 5d and e such as triethylamine. The olefine synthesis can be performed too by the reverse way, that is by the reaction of the phosphonium salts 6a-c with the dithiolium salts 3a and b under authentic conditions. In this way the electron-rich olefines 9e-h are obtained.

The reaction proceeds under mild conditions and may be used as a convenient method for the synthesis of pyrrolidine-1-sulfonylarene derivatives containing a phenol fragment in the position 2.
