Attempted Synthesis of Tricyclo[3.3.2.024]DEC-2(4)-ENE

The synthesis of tricyclo[3.3.2.0^2,4]-dec-2(4)-ene (3) has been attempted using a route analogous to those previously developed for 1 and 2. Complications were encountered in the synthesis. The conformational problems of the larger polycyclic structures in the synthesis of 3 must be more difficult to overcome than the increased angle strain of the smaller rings when 1 or 2 are synthesized.     

An improved synthesis of ‘octa-acid’ deep-cavity cavitand

An improved synthesis of a water-soluble deep-cavity cavitand (octa-acid, 1) is presented. Previously (Gibb, C.L.D.; Gibb, B.C. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2004, 126, 11408–11409), we documented access to host 1 in eight (non-linear) steps starting from resorcinol; a synthesis that required four steps involving chromatographic purification. Here, we reveal a modified synthesis of host 1. Consisting of seven (non-linear) steps, this new synthesis involves only one chromatographic step, and avoids a minor impurity observed in the original approach. This improved synthesis is therefore useful for the laboratories that are investigating the properties of these types of host.

Stereoselective total synthesis of paecilomycin E and F and its two congeners Cochliomycin C and 6-epi-Cochliomycin C

An efficient and concise approach to the total synthesis of Paecilomycins E (1) and F (2), Cochliomycin C (4) and 6-epi-Cochliomycin C (3) is described.

New and Practical Synthesis of Montelukast Sodium,an Antiasthmatic Drug

Abstract

A new and practical synthesis of montelukast sodium, an antiasthmatic drug, is described. The key steps are the synthesis of nitrile derivative 4 by chiral reduction of keto ester 9 using (?)-DIP-Cl, synthesis of vinylquinoline framework 16 by Wittig reaction, and Heck coupling of nitrile 4 with vinylquinoline 16. The method is operationally simple and suitable for the industrial production of the drug substance.
