Preparation and Structure of (E)-1-(3′-Hydroxy-2-Furanyl)-3-(3″-Hydroxy-4″-Methoxyphenyl)-2-Propen-1-One

Abstract

A facile procedure is presented for the synthesis of (E)-1-(3′-hydroxy-2′-furanyl)-3-(3″-hydroxy-4″-methoxyphenyl)-2- propen-1-one (6). Galactosylisomaltol (1) was condensed with isovanillin (2) under strong alkaline conditions at 25 [ddot]C to form (E)-1-(3′-O-β-D-galactopyranosyloxy-2′-furanyl)-3-(3″- hydroxy-4″-methoxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one (4). (E)-1-(3′-hydroxy-2′-furanyl)-3-(3″-hydroxy-4″-methoxyphenyl)-2-propen-1-one (6) was obtained by acid hydrolysis of 4 in a 53.9% yield. This hetero-cyclic 2-propen-1-one was characterized on the basis of spectral data (IR and ¹H NMR), physicochemical properties, and conversion to a mono-O-acetyl derivative.

A highly enantioselective conjugate reduction of 3-arylinden-1-ones using bakers' yeast for the preparation of (S)-3-arylindan-1-ones

[formula: see text] The bakers' yeast reduction of 3-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-6-propoxy-1H-inden-1-one 4 has been shown to give (S)-3-(1,3-benzodioxol-5-yl)-2,3-dihydro-6-propoxy-1H-indan-1-one 6 in 65% yield with high enantioselectivity (> 99.0% ee), a key intermediate for the synthesis of the endothelin receptor antagonist SB 217242. In addition, the substituted 3-arylinden-1-ones 10a-e gave equally high enantioselectivity for the 3-arylindan-1-one products 13a-e. Mechanistic studies of the reaction indicate the operative pathway to be an asymmetric conjugate reduction, wherein the hydride transfer from NAD(P)H occurs from the Re-face of the indenone substrate.

Transformations of 2-(3-Hydroxy-3-methyl-1-butynyl)adamantan-2-ol >Catalyzed by Acids

Reaction of 2-(3-hydroxy-3-methyl-1-butynyl)adamantan-2-ol with acetonitrile under Ritter reaction conditions is accompanied by isomerization and partial hydration where the water addition to the triple bond occurs nonselectively. As a result of reaction carried out in the presence of 8 equiv of sulfuric acid a mixture was obtained of N ²-[4-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-2-methyl-3-butyn-2-yl]acetamide, N ³-[1-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-3-butyl]-acetamide, and N ³-[1-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-3-methyl-1-oxo-3-butyl]acetamide in ~10:3:2 ratio. In the presence of 2 equiv of the acid the mixture obtained consisted of N ²-[4-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-2-methyl-3-butyn-2-yl]acetamide, N ³-[1-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-3-methyl-2-oxo-3-butyl]acetamide, and 1-(1-acetylamino-2-adamantyl)-3-methyl-2-buten-1-one in the same ratio. In Rupe reaction conditions we obtained instead of the expected ,-unsaturated ketones a mixture of 1-(1-hydroxy-2-adamantyl)-3-hydroxy-3-methylbutan-1-one and 1-(1-hydroxy-2-adamantyl)-3-hydroxy-3-methylbutan-2-one in a 5:3 ratio.     

Acylation of 5-amino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-one

Acylation of 5-amino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-one (2) was undertaken selectively at either the 3-NH position or at 5-amino group depending on reaction conditions. The 3-NH is highly acidic and acylation takes place with acid anhydrides at this position in high yields in the presence of pyridine or triethylamine. The diacylation of both the 3-position and the 5-amino group was only possible via the 5-amino-3-acyl-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-one intermediates 4 . Under neutral conditions, acylation only occurs at the 5-amino group with acyl chlorides forming 5-acylamino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-ones 5 . 5-Acetylamino-3H-1,3,4-thiadiazolin-2-one can also be synthesized by the thermal transformation of 5-amino-3-acetyl-1,3,4-thiadi-azolin-2-one in acetic acid.

Enantiomeric separation of novel anticancer agent 5-hydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-cyclopent-2-en-1-one

The enantiomers of 5-hydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-cyclopent-2-en-1-one, a novel anticancer agent, were separated by derivatisation with caronaldehyde, separation of the resulting diastereoisomers of the corresponding esters by silica gel column chromatography and regeneration of alcohols (S)-5-hydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-cyclopent-2-en-1-one and (R)-5-hydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-cyclopent-2-en-1-one under aqueous conditions. The absolute configuration of the enantiomers was determined by 1H NMR studies of the corresponding Mosher esters. Alternatively, the enantiomers were separated by preparative HPLC to collect the (S)- and (R)-5-hydroxy-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(3,4,5-trimethoxyphenyl)-cyclopent-2-en-1-ones with high purity which was comparable with that obtained by the chemical method. The details of these methods have been presented herein.     

5-(Trimethylstannyl)-2H-pyran-2-one and 3-(Trimethylstannyl)-2H-pyran-2-one: New 2H-Pyran-2-one Synthons

5-(Trimethylstannyl)-2H-pyran-2-one (11) and 3-(trimethylstannyl)-2H-pyran-2-one (30), readily prepared from the corresponding bromo-2H-pyran-2-ones, undergo Pd(0)-catalyzed coupling reactions with a variety of enol triflates to give 5- and 3- substituted 2H-pyran-2-ones, respectively. This reaction is applicable to the enol triflates of 14beta-hydroxy-17-ketosteroids, and therefore may prove useful in convergent syntheses of lucibufagins and bufadienolides.
