Röntgen-struktur von 6,6-diphenylpentafulven-pentacarbonyl-diruthenium

6,6-Diphenylpentafulvenepentacarbonyldiruthenium has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined.     

Convergent synthesis of (2R,3R,8R,9R)-N-Boc-ADDA

The convergent synthesis of N-Boc-(2R,3R,8R,9R,4E,6E)-3-amino-9-methoxy-2,6,8-trimethyl-10-phenyldecadenoic acid (enantio-N-Boc-ADDA) is reported. Our flexible approach takes advantage of highly efficient non-aldol aldol and cross-metathesis methodologies.     

Novel,short, stereospecific synthesis of lyxo-(2R,3R,4R)-phytosphingosine and erythro-(2R,3S)-sphingosine

Lyxo-phytosphingosine and erythro-sphingosine have been elaborated from a common intermediate. The key step in the reaction sequence involves stereo- and regiospecific functionalization of an olefin by intramolecular nucleophilic sulfinyl group participation.     

Photochemistry of 6,6-Dimethyl- and 2,2,6,6-Tetramethyl-2H,6H-pyran-3-one

The title compounds 1a and 1b have been synthesized in two steps from the saturated pyran-3-ones 2a and 2b , respectively. Upon irradiation (254 nm or 350 nm) in dilute solutions (10^?3?10^?2M ), compounds 1 undergo a formal [4 + 2] cycloreversion from the excited triplet state to give (2-methylprop-1-enyl)ketene ( 11 ) and either formaldehyde or acetone, ketene 11 being trapped by H₂O or MeOH to afford 4-methylpent-3-enoic acid ( 5 ) or its methyl ester 4 in 75–85% isolated yield. In this (monomolecular) photoreaction, heterocycles 1 differ from their alicyclic counterparts, i.e., 4,4-dimethylcyclohex-2-enone ( 10a ) and 4,4,6,6-tetramethylcyclohex-2-enone ( 10b ), as no rearrangement to a 4-oxabicyclo[3.1.0]hexan-2-one occurs. On the other hand, the photochemical behavior of pyranone 1a in bimolecular reactions (cyclodimerization, [2 + 2] cycloaddition to 2,3-dimethylbut-2-ene) resembles that of enone 10a .     

Chiron approach to the synthesis of (2S,3R)-3-hydroxypipecolic acid and (2R,3R)-3-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethylpiperidine from D-glucose

The first chiron approach from d-glucose for the total synthesis of (2 S,3 R)-3-hydroxypipecolic acid (-)-1a and (2R,3R)-3-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethylpiperidine (-)-2a is reported. The synthetic pathway involves conversion of d-glucose into 3-azidopentodialdose (5) followed by the Wittig olefination and reduction to give the piperidine ring skeleton (8) with a sugar appendage that on cleavage of an anomeric carbon followed by oxidation gives (-)-1a which on reduction affords (-)-2a.     

Studies on the transformation of nitrosugars into iminosugars III: synthesis of (2R,3R,4R,5R,6R)-2-(hydroxymethyl)azepane-3,4,5,6-tetraol and (2R,3R,4R,5R,6S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)azepane-3,4,5,6-tetraol

A divergent synthesis of the two novel polyhydroxylated azepanes (2R,3R,4R,5R,6R)-2-(hydroxymethyl)azepane-3,4,5,6-tetraol and (2R,3R,4R,5R,6S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)azepane-3,4,5,6-tetraol from d-mannose is described. The method involves a Henry reaction between dimethyl-tert-butylsilyl 2,3-O-isopropylidene-α-d-lyxo-pentodialdo-1,4-furanoside and 2-nitroethanol followed by a reductive ring closure of the resulting epimeric nitro aldols. Glycosidase inhibition tests showed that (2R,3R,4R,5R,6S)-2-(hydroxymethyl)azepane-3,4,5,6-tetraol exhibits a weak but selective inhibition against α-l-fucosides.     

Preparation of (2R, 3R, 4R)-3-hydroxy-2,4,6-trimethylheptanoic acid via enzymatic desymmertization

Synthesis of a unique fatty acyl unit to build the N-terminus of callipeltin A and homophymine B is described. Our approach to access (2R, 3R, 4R)-3-hydroxy-2,4,6-trimethylheptanoic acid uses enzymatic hydrolysis for the desymmetrization of achiral acetate, followed by diastereoselective Roush crotylboration and Wittig olefination for the backbone construction.
