Synthesis and evaluation of 1-arylsulfonyl-3-piperazinone derivatives as factor Xa inhibitors V. A series of new derivatives containing a spiro[imidazo[1,2-a]pyrazine-2(3H),4'-piperidin]-5(1H)-one scaffold

We have already reported unique compounds containing a N,O-spiro acetal structure as an orally active factor Xa (FXa) inhibitor. This time, we described a N,N-spiro acetal structure as an analogue of the N,O-spiro acetal structure for an orally active FXa inhibitor. The synthesis of these analogues could be achieved in a similar fashion to the N,O-spiro acetal synthesis. Consequently, FXa inhibitory activity was increased and more active compounds could be found (M58163: IC50 = 0.61 nM, M58169: IC50 = 0.58 nM). Additionally, the absolute configuration could be determined by X-ray crystallography analysis (M58169: (R)-config.).     

Three-component synthesis of polysubstituted benzene derivatives via Diels-Alder reaction of cyclopentadienone acetal with alkyne

An efficient and regioselective synthesis of polysubstituted benzene derivatives was achieved via multicomponent reaction of a substituted cyclopropenone acetal and two alkyne molecules. The synthesis utilizes cyclopentadienone acetal as an intermediate and enables regioselective [2+2+2] assembly of the three-components into a benzene ring. A variety of polysubstituted benzene derivatives of synthetic and structural interest have been synthesized.     

A selective synthesis of 4‐bromo‐2‐furancarboxaldehyde and its pinacolborane derivative

A selective synthesis of ethylene acetal of 4‐bromo‐2‐furancarboxaldehyde ( 4 ) and its pinacolborane derivative ( 5 ) is described. The synthesis was carried out using 2‐furancarboxaldehyde ( 1 ) that was bromi‐nated to 4,5‐dibromo‐2‐furancarboxaldehyde ( 2 ) in an emulsion of aluminum chloride and methylene chloride. The product was isolated, protected as ethylene acetal, and selectively debrominated to the ethylene acetal of 4‐bromo‐2‐furancarboxaldehyde ( 4 ) in one step. This moiety was reacted with pinacolborane to give a reactive reagent of Suzuki coupling.     

Rational synthesis of contra-thermodynamic spiroacetals by reductive cyclizations

A synthesis of spiroacetals was developed using a reductive cyclization strategy that leads stereoselectively to spiroacetals with a single anomeric stabilization. The method begins with the synthesis of spiro ortho esters. The ortho ester is converted to a cyano acetal. Reductive lithiation of the cyano acetal generates an axial dialkoxylithium reagent, and intramolecular cyclization produces a new ring with retention of configuration. The strategy is convergent and produces complex spiro acetals in only a few steps. The method will be useful in the synthesis of natural products and will facilitate the synthesis of previously inaccessible contra-thermodynamic acetals.     

Lithiated anions derived from (alkenyl)pentamethyl phosphoric triamides: Useful synthons for the stereoselective synthesis of 9-oxo- and 10-hydroxy-2(E)-decenoic acids, important components of queen substance and royal jelly of honeybee Apis mellifera

Lithiated anions derived from (alkenyl)pentamethyl phosphoric triamides as homoenolate equivalents are used in the reaction with halogenated acetal and ketal giving regioselectively the γ-alkylation adducts. Chemoselective acidic hydrolysis of the enephosphoramide moiety in the presence of acetal or ketal groups leads to expected carbonyl products, key intermediates in the synthesis of natural compounds. The synthetic potential of the presented strategy is illustrated by stereoselective synthesis of two pheromones namely, 9-oxo-2(E)-decenoic acid 1 from queen substance and 10-hydroxy-2(E)-decenoic acid 2 from royal jelly of honeybee Apis mellifera.     

Two remarkable epimerizations imperative for the success of an asymmetric total synthesis of (+)-aigialospirol

Total Synthesis of Notoamides F,I, and R and Sclerotiamide

The total synthesis of the natural indole alkaloids (+)‐notoamide F, I, and R and (?)‐sclerotiamide is described. The four heptacyclic compounds were synthesized in 10–12 steps in a convergent and highly stereoselective manner from the readily available Seebach acetal. Key steps of the synthesis include a stereoselective oxidative aza‐Prins cyclization to construct the bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane, and a cobalt‐catalyzed radical cycloisomerization to create the cyclohexenyl ring.

A straightforward access to the C10-C20 skeleton of gymnodimine, incorporating a tetrahydrofuran fragment, is described. The elaboration of the THF moiety is based on a stereocontrolled Ueno-Stork cyclization.

The four heptacyclic compounds were synthesized in 10–12 steps in a convergent and highly stereoselective manner from the readily available Seebach acetal. Key steps of the synthesis include a stereoselective oxidative aza‐Prins cyclization to construct the bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane, and a cobalt‐catalyzed radical cycloisomerization to create the cyclohexenyl ring.     

An efficient synthesis of the C27–C45 fragment of lagunamide A,a cyclodepsipeptide with potent cytotoxic and antimalarial properties

An efficient and stereoselective synthesis of the entire C27–C45 moiety of lagunamide A has been achieved from 1-[(4S)-4-benzyl-2-thioxothiazolidin-3-yl]propan-1-one in six steps with 22% overall yield.

Concise asymmetric total synthesis of scyphostatin, a potent inhibitor of neutral sphingomyelinase

The concise asymmetric total synthesis of scyphostatin has been achieved by condensation of the optically active cyclohexane unit, prepared from the commercially available 1,4-cyclohexadiene by our own method, and the side chain, prepared by the method developed by Hoye and Tennakoon (T. R. Hoye, M. A. Tennakoon, Org. Lett. 2000, 2, 1481-1483). The modification of the epoxy cyclohexenone unit was achieved in a late stage of the total synthesis, and deprotection of the primary alcohol was conducted in the final step. During the synthesis several key reactions were attained: 1) intramolecular bromoetherification of the cyclohexadiene acetal; 2) stereoselective introduction of the tertiary alcohol, 3) deprotection of the acetal function to the aldehyde by combination with silyl triflate/2,4,6-collidine and the one-pot synthesis of the disilyl aldehyde compounds, with different types of silyl groups, from the dihydroxy acetal compounds; and 4) facile deprotection of the 2,4-dimethoxyphenylmethyl ((2,4)DMPM) protecting group of the primary alcohol.

Mild acetal cleavage using B-chlorocatecholborane in the synthesis of rearrangement-sensitive 2-arachidonoylglycerol

A mild method for the cleavage of an acetal to afford a rearrangement sensitive diol using B-chlorocatecholborane was developed for the synthesis of the endogenous cannabinoid neurochemical messenger 2-arachidonoylglycerol. The tendency for rearrangement of 2-arachidonoylglycerol to the corresponding 1-arachidonoylglycerol was precluded with this reagent. Features of the partial recyclization to an isomeric acetal provide mechanistic detail.

Tandem double intramolecular [4+2]/[3+2] cycloadditions of nitroalkenes: construction of the pentacyclic core structure of daphnilactone B

An asymmetric synthesis of the ABCD ring system of daphnilactone B is described. The synthesis features a tandem, double intramolecular, [4+2]/[3+2] cycloaddition of a highly functionalized, enantiomerically enriched nitroalkene to generate a pentacyclic nitroso acetal. The cycloaddition establishes six contiguous stereogenic centers including the critical CD ring junction that bears two quaternary stereogenic centers. Hydrogenolysis of the nitroso acetal followed by amide reduction and cyclization provided the AB rings. The methyl substituent on the A ring was installed in the correct configuration via hydrogenation of an exocyclic olefin in the final step.     

Synthesis of functionally substituted benzaldehydes

A new method of synthesis of functionally substituted benzaldehydes by catalytic debromometoxylation of dibromomethylarenes with benzaldehyde dimethyl acetal has been suggested. Anhydrous zinc chloride has been used as a catalyst. Being soft Lewis acid, it formed no strong complex with aldehyde group and other functional groups. The initial acetal has been readily recovered by the treatment of benzaldehyde isolated from the reaction mixture with trimethyl orthoformate.
