由D-Erythorbic Acid合成新的多官能团C4手性筑块

手性C4筑块是合成许多天然产物 Leukotrienes, Pyrrolizidine alkaloids及前列腺素A2等的重要合成子[1～3]. 然而到目前为止, 手性C4筑块只有从少数几种手性源如酒石酸, L-苏糖, D-赤藓糖等中才能得到[2～7]. 我们在以D-erythorbic acid为原料合成新型手性配体的过程中[8～10], 发现了一种简便获得选择性保护的多官能团手性C4筑块(化合物4, 5)的新途径(Scheme 1).     

Asymmetric synthesis of 2-alkyl-4-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-ones by scandium(III) triflate-catalyzed fragmentation of 2-alkyl-3-iodo-1-oxocyclohexan-2,4-carbolactones

Fragmentation of (2S,3S,4S)-2-allyl-3-iodo-1-oxocyclohexan-2,4-carbolactone to (4S)-2-allyl-4-hydroxycyclohex-2-en-1-one, a chiral building block of (−)-platensimycin, proceeded efficiently by using scandium(III) triflate in DMF-H₂O (1:3) at 100 °C.     

Stereoselective intramolecular cyclization of γ-allylbenzamide via π-allylpalladium complex catalyzed by Pd(0)

An efficient procedure for synthesizing oxazines was developed by the palladium(0)-catalyzed intramolecular cyclization of a benzamide through a π-allylpalladium (II) complex. Interestingly, the diastereoselectivity of oxazine ring formation was dominantly controlled by the bulkiness of various protecting groups on the secondary alcohols.     

Chiral 2-(2-hydroxyaryl)alcohols (HAROLs) with a 1,4-diol scaffold as a new family of ligands and organocatalysts

Efficient and modular syntheses of chiral 2-(2-hydroxyaryl)alcohols (HAROLs), novel 1,4-diols carrying one phenolic and one alcohol hydroxyl group, have been developed which led to generation of a small library of structurally diverse HAROLs in enantiomerically pure form. Of the different HAROLs examined, a HAROL based on the indan backbone exhibited the highest activity and enantioselectivity in the 1,2-addition of certain organometallic compounds to aldehydes in the presence of Ti(OⁱPr)₄ (up to 97% y, 88% ee) and performed as a hydrogen-bond donor organocatalyst in the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction, promoted by trialkylphosphines.

Chloramphenicol base chemistry. Part 10: Asymmetric synthesis of α-hydroxy chiral alcohols via intramolecular Michael additions of γ-hydroxy-α, β-unsaturated enones with chloramphenicol base derived bifunctional urea organocatalysts

We have developed the chloramphenicol base urea-catalyzed intramolecular Michael addition of γ-hydroxy-α, β-unsaturated enones. The oxidation of the resulting products provided facile access to the corresponding α-hydroxy chiral alcohols with good efficiency and enantioselectivity, with the reaction displaying broad substrate scope. The utility of this methodology was further demonstrated by the synthesis of (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoate, which is a key building block for the construction of the ACE inhibitor benazepril hydrochloride.     

(+)-Cystothiazole G: isolation and structural elucidation

Palladium-catalyzed cyclization-methoxycarbonylation of (2R,3S)-3-methylpent-4-yne-1,2-diol (6) derived from (2R,3S)-epoxybutanoate 5 followed by methylation gave the tetrahydro-2-furylidene acetate (−)-7, which was converted to the left-half aldehyde (+)-3. A Wittig reaction between (+)-3 and the phosphoranylide derived from the bithiazole-type phosphonium iodide 4 using lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide afforded the (+)-cystothiazole G (2), whose spectral data were identical with those of the natural product (+)-2. Thus, the stereochemistry of cystothiazole G (2) was proved to be (4R,5S,6(E)).     

A New Chiral β-Sulfiny Dienophile for Asymmetric Diels-Alder Reaction

Reaction of a chiral cis-β-sulfinylacrylate, prepared from (1R,2S,3R)-3-mercapto-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-ol, and cyclopentadiene produced Diels-Alder cycloadductswith extremely high diastereoselectivity.     

Synthesis, reactions, and applications of fluorine-containing multifunctional carbon compounds

The chemistry of compounds containing a carbon atom bearing three or four different labile functional groups has received little attention. These compounds should be of considerable significance in theoretical and synthetic organic chemistry. Among the compounds with multifunctional structures, those having both carbonyl and halogen groups in addition to other heteroatom groups seem especially valuable from a synthetic viewpoint. Their potential use as probes in pure and applied synthetic chemistry has not been exploited, presumably because of structural instability and a paucity of synthetic approaches. Keeping this background in mind, we focused on the synthesis of a new class of multifunctional carbon compounds in which ester carbonyl, halogen, and other heteroatom-derived functional groups are directly attached to the central carbon atom. Fluorine was chosen as the halogen because of the inherent stability of the CF bond and because of the fundamental chemical and biological interest in fluorine-containing compounds. The synthesis, reactions, and some applications of various fluorine-containing multifunctional carbon compounds are described.     

Synthesis of 5,7-Dimethyl-2-(5-Substituted-1,3,4-Oxadiazole-2-yl)- Methylenethio-1,2,4-Triazolo[1,5-a]Pyrimidines as Potential Fungicides

New challenging problems in plant protection technology have promoted research to discover more efficient pesticides. In recent years, many chemists have paid much attention to compounds bearing 1,2,4-triazolo [1,5-a] pyrimidine rings due to their broad spectrum of biological activities such as herbicidal and fungicidal effects1-7. Up to now, a great variety of these kinds of compounds have been synthesized, among which some commercially herbicides have been developed including metosulam, f…

LFER and CoMFA studies on optical resolution of α-alkyl α-aryloxy acetic acid methyl esters on DACH-DNB chiral stationary phase

Summary The HPLC resolution of a series of racemic -substituted -aryloxy acetic acid methyl esters I on a -acid chiral stationary phase containing N,N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane as chiral selector was modelled by linear free energy-related (LFER) equations and comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA). Our results indicate that the retention process mainly depends on solute lipophilicity and steric properties, whereas enantioselectivity is primarily influenced by electrostatic and steric interactions. CoMFA provided additional information with respect to the LFER study, allowed the mixing of different subsets of I and led to a quantitative 3D model of steric and electrostatic factors responsible for chiral recognition.     

A single-helix coordination polymer with mixed ligands [Zn2(phen)2(e,a-cis-1,4-chdc)2(H2O)2]n (phen=1,10-phenanthroline; chdc=cyclohexanedicarboxylate)

A coordination polymer with mixed ligands [Zn₂(phen)₂(e,a-cis-1,4-chdc)₂(H₂O)₂]_n (chdc=cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid; phen=1,10-phenanthroline) was prepared under hydrothermal conditions and characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectra, TG analysis, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. X-ray crystal structural analyses reveal that 1 and 2 are isomorphic and belong to the monoclinic system. C₄₀H₃₆Zn₂N₄O₁₀, P2₁/c, a=10.084(2) Å, b=8.9072(18) Å, c=20.276(4) Å, β=99.92(3)°, V=1793.9(6) Å³, Z=1. In the structures of 1, the 1,4-chdc ligand possesses only one kind of e,a-cis-conformation although there are both cis- and trans-conformations in the raw material. Two oxygen atoms of one carboxyl in 1,4-chdc ligand and another oxygen atom of contraposition carboxyl link adjacent Zn atoms into an infinite 1D zigzag chain. The most attractive structural feature of 1 is that it exhibits an infinite chiral chain-like structure with 2₁ helices along the b-axis. In addition, the right- and left-handed chains are alternate. Meanwhile, the adjacent chains of 1 is linked via hydrogen bonds into 2D network structures, which further form 3D frameworks via π-π interactions of 1,10-phen.     

Chiral resolution of aminoalcohols by ion-pair chromatography

Summary Chiral resolution of aminoalcohols is performed by ionpair chromatography using (+)-10-camphorsulphonic acid in methylene chloride + 1-pentanol (1991) as mobile phase and LiChrosorb DIOL as adsorbing stationary phase. Change of the properties of the solid phase and the nonpolar solvent affects the retention and the separation efficiency but has no significant influence on the chiral selectivity. Studies of the structural requirements for the stereoselective separation have shown that a simultaneous electrostatic and hydrogen bonding between the two enantiomeric ions is of fundamental importance. Studies of equilibrium processes in the mobile phase indicate that the aminoalcohols are retained as ion pairs.Presented at the 14th International Symposium on Chromatography London, September, 1982     

The use of chiral interaction reagents in the separation of D(−)-and L(+)-ascorbic acid by ion interaction reversed-phase HPLC

Summary An HPLC reversed-phase ion interaction reagent method is presented, which makes use of chiral compounds as the interaction reagents. By employing the optical isomeric forms of malic, tartaric and mandelic acids as the interaction reagents, a good separation of D(−) and L(+) ascorbic acid has been achieved. The method has also been applied to the identification of vitamin C in some medical formulations. The separation of te enantiomeric forms of DL malic acid has been attempted and a shor discussion is presented about the elution sequence in chromatographic separation of D- and L-enantiomers.
