Synthetic strategies to 2′-hydroxy-4′-methylsulfonylacetophenone,a key compound for the preparation of flavonoid derivatives

Different strategies for the synthesis of 2′-hydroxy-4′-methylsulfonylacetophenone are reported in the present paper. This compound is considered as a key synthon for the synthesis of new flavonoid derivatives designed as potential cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors. The retrosynthetic approach via 3′-methylsulfonylacetophenone, which included three synthetic pathways, did not allow us to obtain the expected compound. However, a synthesis from 3-mercaptophenol led to the desired acetophenone in three steps: thiophenol methylation, Friedel–Crafts acetylation and oxidation of the sulphide to the corresponding sulfone. The desired compound, 2′-hydroxy-4′-methylsulfonylacetophenone, will be used as a synthon for the preparation of novel flavonoid derivatives, such as 2′-hydroxychalcones, flavanones, flavones, and flavonols.     

Synthesis of alpha-keto-imides via oxidation of ynamides

A de novo preparation of alpha-keto-imides via ynamide oxidation is described. With a number of alkyne oxidation conditions screened, a highly efficient RuO2-NaIO4 mediated oxidation and a DMDO oxidation have been identified to tolerate a wide range of ynamide types. In addition to accessing a wide variety of alpha-keto-imides, the RuO2-NaIO4 protocol provides a novel entry to the vicinal tricarbonyl motif via oxidation of push-pull ynamides, and imido acylsilanes from silyl-substituted ynamides. Chemoselective oxidation of ynamides containing olefins can be achieved by using DMDO, while the RuO2-NaIO4 protocol is not effective. These studies provide further support for the synthetic utility of ynamides.     

A novel biomimetic route to the 3-acyl-5-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-one and 3-acyl-3,4-epoxy-5-hydroxypyrrolidin-2-one ring systems

Modified Moffat oxidation of alcohols 17, 22, and 25 afforded aldehydes that underwent intramolecular aldol reactions on treatment with a NaOH solution to yield 4-pyrrolin-2-ones 16, 23, and 26. Oxidation with DMDO at -40 degrees C provided 3-acyl-5-hydroxy-3-pyrrolin-2-ones 18, 24, and 27 with the ring system of oteromycin (3), UCS1025A (5), and related natural products. Further oxidation of 18 yielded 3-acyl-3,4-epoxy-5-hydroxy-pyrrolidin-2-one 19 with the ring system of fusarin C (1) and epolactaene (2). Dehydration of 18 afforded 20 with the talaroconvolutin A (4) ring system.     

HPLC separation of flavonols, flavones and oxidized flavonols with UV-, DAD-, electrochemical and ESI-ion trap MS detection

The cation-induced or electrochemical oxidation of flavonols has been reported to yield 2-(hydroxybenzoyl)-2-hydroxy-3(2H)-benzofuranones. Two new gradient reversed phase HPLC methods are presented which allow the determination of those oxidized flavonols simultaneously with flavonols and flavones. UV and electrochemical detection are used because of their high sensitivity. Qualitative detection together with quantification of all compounds is achieved with photodiode-array detection. An electrospray ionization ion trap mass spectrometric method is presented for unique identification of the benzofuranones after HPLC separation.

A straightforward stereoselective synthesis of D- and L-5-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-2-cyclohexenylguanine.

A novel and facile synthesis of 5-hydroxy-4-hydroxymethyl-2-cyclohexenylguanine 1 is described. The key steps involve a Diels-Alder reaction of ethyl (2E)-3-acetyloxy-2-propenoate 2 as dienophile with Danishefsky's diene 3 to build up the six-membered ring skeleton, a Fraser-Reid reductive rearrangement of the adduct using LiAlH(4), and base-moiety introduction using a Mitsunobu reaction. Optically pure D- and L-1 were obtained via resolution of intermediate 7 with (R)-(-)-methylmandelic acid. The synthetic procedure toward racemic 1 consists of only five steps and has proven to be highly efficient toward the synthesis of cyclohexenyl nucleosides.     

Effect of geminal substitution on the strain energy of dioxiranes. Origin of the low ring strain of dimethyldioxirane

The strain energies (SE) for dioxirane (DO) dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) and related dioxiranes have been examined by several methods using high-level computational schemes (G2, G2(MP2), CBS-Q). A series of calculated O-O, C-O, and O-H bond dissociation energies (G2) point to special problems associated with classical homodesmotic reactions involving peroxides. The relative SEs of DO, DMDO, methyl(trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (TFDO), and difluorodioxirane (DFDO) have been estimated by combination of the dioxirane with cyclopropane to form the corresponding 1,3-dioxacyclohexane. The relative SE predicted for DMDO (2) is 7 kcal/mol lower than that of DO, while the SE of 1,1-difluorodioxirane (4) is 8 kcal/mol higher. The most reactive dioxirane, methyl (trifluoromethyl)dioxirane (3), has an estimated SE just 1 kcal/mol greater than that of DO but 8 kcal/mol greater than that of DMDO. Six independent methods support the proposed SE for DO of 18 kcal/mol. The SE of the parent dioxirane (DO) has been estimated relative to six-membered ring reference compounds by dimerization of dioxirane and or its combination with cyclopropane. The relative SE of cyclic hydrocarbons, ethers and peroxides have been predicted by the insertion/extrusion of -CH(2)- and -O- fragments into their respective lower and next higher homologues. The moderated SE of DMDO (approximately equal to 11 kcal/mol) has also been estimated on the basis of group equivalent reactions. The unusual thermodynamic stability of DMDO is largely a consequence of combined geminal dimethyl and dioxa substitution effects and its associated strong C-H bonds and C-CH(3) bonds. The data clearly demonstrate that the reference compounds used to estimate the SE for highly substituted small ring cyclic compounds should reflect their molecular architecture having the same substitutents on carbon.     

Use of acyl substituents to favour 2,3-epoxidation of 5,7-dioxygenated flavones with dimethyldioxirane

The reaction of 5,7-dimethoxyflavone with dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) gives the 2,3-epoxide rapidly at first. However, low levels of ring A hydroxylated by-products are also formed. With increasing proportions of DMDO, demethylation at C-5 becomes apparent and consumption of substrate is not matched by further significant build-up of the epoxide. Deactivation of ring A by the use of acyl groups removes this complication. 5,7-Diacylflavones give excellent yields of epoxides and monoacyl derivatives also react in good yield. Ionization potential maps derived from density functional theory calculations (B3LYP/6-31G^∗), provide good visual indicators of the relative reactivity of the key nucleophilic loci. The epoxides may be isolated as such, or transformed into flavonols by treatment with p-toluenesulfonic acid.     

New oxidative tools for the functionalization of the cephalostatin north 1 hemisphere

Dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) C-H oxidation of ketone 17 to hemiketal 18 (82%), bis-dehydration to vinyl ether 21 (77%), and DMDO again provides C-23 axial alcohol 23 (99%). Routine processing, including a double-stereoselective Sharpless AD reaction (de >98%), gives alcohols 7 and 32. C-23 deoxy substrate 7 undergoes Suarez hypoiodite oxidative cyclization to (natural) beta spiroketal 34, but compound 32, bearing a C-23 silyl ether, generates unnatural spiroketal 33.

Oxyfunctionalization products of terpenoids with dimethyldioxirane and their biological activity

Oxyfunctionalization of the bioactive terpenoids, ursolic acid acetate (1), oleanolic acid acetate (5), lupeol acetate (12), and kaurenic acid (17), with dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) was investigated. Treatment of the terpenoids with DMDO under mild conditions afforded a variety of oxidation and oxydegradation products to yield naturally occurring and/or novel compounds in one step. After chromatographic separation, the structures of the individual isolated products were determined using spectroscopic methods including several homonuclear (1H-1H) and heteronuclear (1H-13C) shift-correlated 2D-NMR techniques. The inhibitory activity of the terpenoid derivatives against alpha-glucosidase was investigated and compounds 1, 3, 7, and 9 were found to exhibit potent activity.
