Synthesis of PDE IVb Inhibitors. 3. Synthesis of (+)-, (-)-, and (±)-7-[3-(cyclopentyloxy)-4-methoxyphenyl]hexahydro-3H-pyrrolizin-3-one via reductive domino transformations of 3-β-carbomethoxyethyl-substituted six-membered cyclic nitronates

Simple three-step asymmetric and racemic syntheses of GlaxoSmithKline's highly potent PDE IVb inhibitor 1 were developed. The suggested approach is based on reductive domino transformations of 3-β-carbomethoxyethyl-substituted six-membered cyclic nitronates, which are easily accessed by a stereoselective [4 + 2] cycloaddition of an appropriate nitroalkene to vinyl ethers. In vitro studies of PDE IVb inhibition by enantiomeric pyrrolizidinones (+)-1 and (-)-1 were performed.

Iridium-Catalyzed Reductive (3+2) Annulation of Lactams Enabling the Rapid Total Synthesis of (±)-Eburnamonine

A reductive (3+2) annulation of lactams through iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation and photoredox coupling with α-bromoacetic acid was developed. The iridium-catalyzed hydrosilylation of the lactam carbonyl group and subsequent elimination provide a transient cyclic enamine, which undergoes iridium-catalyzed photoredox coupling with α-bromoacetic acid in a one-pot process. The developed conditions show high functional-group tolerance and provide cyclic N,O-acetals containing a quaternary carbon center. The resulting N,O-acetals undergo a variety of acid-mediated nucleophilic addition reactions via iminium ions to give substituted cyclic amines. The developed sequence including reductive (3+2) annulation and acid-mediated nucleophilic addition was successfully applied to the four-step total synthesis of (±)-eburnamonine.

Divergent Total Syntheses of 2, 6-Dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one Styryllactones: (−)-Goniopypyrone, (+)-Goniochelienlactone and (+)-7-Acetylgoniochelienlactone

Stereoselective total syntheses of (+)-goniochelienlactone, (+)-7-acetylgoniochelienlactone and (−)-goniopypyrone were accomplished by divergent strategies starting from readily available chiral pool methyl α-D-mannopyranoside. The present work provided an efficient strategy for the stereoselective construction of highly functionalized dioxabicyclo[3.3.1]nonan-3-one ring system through a sequential Bernet-Vasella-type reductive elimination/nucleophilic addition and a sequential cross-metathesis/intramolecular oxa-Michael addition in a one-pot process.     

Detection of hypoxanthine based on the electrochemiluminescent of 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one on the electrically heated indium–tin-oxide electrode

An electrochemiluminescent (ECL) enzyme biosensor was developed for detection of hypoxanthine based on ECL of 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylimidazo[1,2-a]pyrazin-3(7H)-one (MCLA). The xanthine oxidase (XOD) was modified on the heated indium–tin-oxide (ITO) electrode, and the ECL enzyme biosensor was found to be electrode temperatures depend, this was because that both the diffusion and convection of compounds near the electrode surface and the catalytic reaction of immobilized enzyme were affected by the temperature of electrode (T_e). In this work, the highest sensitivity was gained when T_e was 36 °C. Under the optimum condition, the linear response range of hypoxanthine (HX) was found to be 0.3–27 μmol/L, and the detection limit (defined as the concentration that could be detected at the signal-to-noise ration of 3) was 0.15 μmol/L.
