Sequential three-component reactions: synthesis, regioselectivity and application of functionalized dihydropyridines (DHPs) for the creation of fused naphthyridines

Facile and efficient synthesis of tetrasubstituted 1,4- and 1,6-dihydropyridines (DHPs) has been achieved by employing three-component domino reaction using dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD), aliphatic amines, and α,β-unsaturated aldehyde in the presence of 30 mol % trifluoroacetic acid. Interestingly, regioselectivity for the synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines can be increased by using 30 mol % triflic acid. In addition, the synthesis of fused-naphthyridine derivatives has been accomplished involving imino-Diels-Alder reaction by employing 1,4-dihydropyridines, aromatic aldehydes, and aromatic amines.

Total Synthesis of Pulvomycin D

A synthetic route to the pulvomycin class of natural products is presented, which culminated in the first synthesis of a pulvomycin, pulvomycin D. Key elements of the strategy include a pivotal aldol reaction which led to bond formation between the C24-C40 and the C8-C23 fragment. The remaining C1-C7 fragment was attached by a Yamaguchi esterification completing the assembly of the 40 carbon atoms within the main skeleton. Ring closure to the 22-membered lactone ring was achieved in the final stages of the synthesis by a Heck reaction. The completion of the synthesis required the removal of six silyl protecting groups in combination with olefin formation at C26-C27 by a Peterson elimination.

High‐Yielding Synthesis of the Anti‐Influenza Neuraminidase Inhibitor (−)‐Oseltamivir by Two “One‐Pot” Sequences

The efficient asymmetric total synthesis of (?)‐oseltamivir, an antiviral reagent, has been accomplished by using two “one‐pot” reaction sequences, with excellent overall yield (60 %) and only one required purification by column chromatography. The first one‐pot reaction sequence consists of a diphenylprolinol silyl ether mediated asymmetric Michael reaction, a domino Michael reaction/Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction combined with retro‐aldol/Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction and retro Michael reactions, a thiol Michael reaction, and a base‐catalyzed isomerization. Six reactions can be successfully conducted in the second one‐pot reaction sequence; these are deprotection of a tert‐butyl ester and its conversion into an acyl chloride then an acyl azide, Curtius rearrangement, amide formation, reduction of a nitro group into an amine, and a retro Michael reaction of a thiol moiety. A column‐free synthesis of (?)‐oseltamivir has also been established.     

Hypervalent Iodine(III)‐Mediated Benzannulation of Enamines with Alkynes: an Efficient Synthesis of Substituted Aminonaphthoic Acid Derivatives

An intermolecular two C? C bond formation procedure for the synthesis of carbocycles mediated by hypervalent iodine(III) reagents was developed. This metal free protocol provided a new approach for the synthesis of useful substituted 1‐amino‐2‐naphthoic acid derivatives via benzannulation reactions. Various N‐unsubstituted and N‐alkyl substituted aromatic enamines with terminal alkynes and non‐terminal alkynes can be converted into corresponding 1‐amino‐2‐naphthoic acid derivatives under mild reaction conditions. When meta‐substituted phenyl enamines were employed in the reaction, two cyclization paths were detected in the reaction and ortho‐cyclization products were the only or major products. Good functional group tolerance, readily available material and high atom utilization efficiency make this method a potential procedure which may find broad application in organic synthesis.     

Synthetic studies on neomarinone: practical and efficient stereoselective synthesis of the side chain

A practical and efficient stereoselective synthesis of the side chain of neomarinone is reported. The synthesis was achieved in six steps (41% overall yield) from 2-methyl-2-cyclohexenone. The key step is a novel stereoselective 1,4-conjugate addition/enolate alkylation by an epoxide-opening reaction.

The configurations of the five stereogenic centers of this novel ring system are established in the first step of the reaction sequence, the double [3+2] cycloaddition.     

Asymmetric synthesis of dihydropyranones from ynones by sequential copper(I)-catalyzed direct aldol and silver(I)-catalyzed oxy-Michael reactions

Ynones as diene surrogates: the asymmetric synthesis of enantiomerically enriched substituted dihydropyranones is described. The products are obtained in two steps by a copper(I)-catalyzed direct aldol reaction of ynones followed by a silver-catalyzed oxy-Michael reaction. This easy method is compatible with both aromatic and aliphatic substrates, and provides excellent chemoselectivity under mild reaction conditions.     

Transition‐Metal‐Free Multicomponent Approach to Stereoenriched Cyclopentyl‐isoxazoles through C−C Bond Cleavage

An efficient multicomponent reaction for the synthesis of stereoenriched cyclopentyl‐isoxazoles from camphor‐derived α‐oximes, alkynes, and MeOH is reported. Our method involved a series of cascade transformations, including the in situ generation of an I^III catalyst, which catalyzed the addition of MeOH to a sterically hindered ketone. Oxidation of the oxime, and rearrangement of the α‐hydroxyiminium ion generated a nitrile oxide in situ, which, upon [3+2] cycloaddition reaction with an alkyne, delivered the regioselective product. This reaction was very selective for the syn‐oxime. This multicomponent approach was also extended to the synthesis of a new glycoconjugate, camphoric ester‐isoxazole C‐galactoside.     

Development,Scope and Mechanisms of Multicomponent Reactions of Asymmetric Electron‐Deficient Alkynes with Amines and Formaldehyde

Based on the reactive behaviour of the substrates, two synthetic routes to polysubstituted pyrimidine derivatives are presented herein: 1) A catalyst‐free multicomponent reaction of electron‐deficient alkynes, aliphatic amines and formaldehyde and 2) Ag^I‐catalyzed synthesis of pyrimidines from electron‐deficient alkynes, anilines and formaldehyde by a domino reaction. Under optimized conditions, the multicomponent reactions were accomplished with high regioselectivity and excellent yields. A computational study was carried out by using the B3LYP density functional theory to elucidate the mechanisms of the catalyst‐free hydroamination reaction. Calculations showed the activation free energies of aliphatic amines were lower than those of anilines, which is consistent with the experimental results.

Accelerated reactions in field desorption mass spectrometry

Field desorption mass spectrometry under ambient conditions is used to study solution‐phase organic reactions in micro‐volumes. Reagent solution is transferred onto the microdendrites of the field emitter, and reaction products are examined online by mass spectrometry. Three reactions, hydrazone formation by phenyl hydrazine and indoline‐2,3‐dione, the Katritzky reaction between a pyrylium salt and anisidine, and the Hantzsch synthesis of 1,4‐dihydropyridine, were investigated, and reaction acceleration was observed to different extents. The increase in rate relative to the corresponding bulk reactions is attributed to solvent evaporation (simple concentration effect) and to the increase of surface‐to‐volume ratio (enhanced interfacial reactions). A distinguishing feature of this method of reaction acceleration, relative to that based on nano electrospray ionization, is the observation of radical cations and the formation of radical cation products. The study also breaks new ground in using field emitters at atmospheric pressure.     

Diastereoselective Synthesis of Enantiopure α-Aminophosphonic Acid Derivatives: Pudovik Reaction in Stereoselective Synthesis (Dedicated to A. N. Pudovik, 1916–2006)

In this report, we present the application of Pudovik reaction in the synthesis of chiral organophosphorus compounds and shown this reaction to be a promising way to enantiopure aminophosphonic acid derivatives. Cyclization reactions are a new, most efficient strategy for stereoselective synthesis of α-aminophosphonates, namely an intramolecular type of interaction of the P(III) atom and an imino group.     

Mechanochemical Radical Boronation of Aryl Diazonium Salts Promoted by Sodium Chloride

Arylboronates are helpful building blocks in organic synthesis. Here, we present an efficient mechanochemical synthesis of arylboronates from arene diazonium salts. Importantly, this transformation was significantly enhanced by sodium chloride, which probably promotes the decomposition of diazonium salts via anion exchange. Chloride anions also participate in the formation of strongly reducing Cl−B anion radical intermediate that promotes radical chain reaction. The reaction proceeds more efficiently with a small amount of polar solvent as a liquid-assisted grinding additive. Quantum chemical calculations support the mechanistic proposal.     

Synthesis of multi-unit protein hetero-complexes in the gas phase via ion-ion chemistry

The synthesis of protein hetero-complex ions via ion-ion reactions in the gas phase is demonstrated in a quadrupole ion trap. Bovine cytochrome c cations and bovine ubiquitin anions are used as reactant species in the stepwise construction of complexes containing as many as six protein sub-units. For any set of reactants, a series of competitive and consecutive reactions is possible. The yield of complex ions for any given sequence of reactions is primarily limited by the presence of competitive reactions. Proton transfer represents the most important competitive reaction that adversely affects protein complex synthesis. In the present data, proton transfer takes place most extensively in the first step of complex synthesis, when single protein sub-units are subjected to reaction with one another. Proton transfer is found to be less extensive when one of the reactants is a protein complex. The generation of hexameric hetero-complexes containing two cytochrome c molecules and four ubiquitin molecules is demonstrated with two different synthesis approaches. The first involved the initial reaction of several charge states of cytochrome c and several charges states of ubiquitin. The sequence of reactions in this example illustrates the array of possible competitive and consecutive reactions associated with even a relatively simple set of multiply charged reactants. The second approach involved the initial reaction of the 9(+) charge state of cytochrome c and the 5(-) charge state of ubiquitin. The latter approach highlights the utility of the multi-stage mass spectrometric (MS(n)) capabilities of the ion trap in defining reactant ion identities (i.e. charge states and polarities) so that synthesis reactions can be directed along a particular set of pathways.     

A Novel Domino Synthesis of Quinazolinediones by Palladium‐Catalyzed Double Carbonylation

Combining commercially available bromoanilines and bromobenzonitriles in a novel double carbonylation process allows for a straightforward synthesis of isoindolo[1,2‐b]quinazoline‐10,12‐diones. At least five different C?C and/or C?N bonds are selectively formed in this 3‐component reaction, which likely proceeds through sequential carbonylation–cyclization–isomerisation–carbonylation steps. Notably, two molecules of CO are inserted in this highly efficient palladium‐catalyzed process.
