A novel method for biomimetic synthesis of various Mannich bases is provided.     

从四氢叶叶酸辅酶模型合成麝香酮中间体2,1 5-十六二.酮

麝香酮是麝香中重要的具有生理活性的组分.自Ruzicka[1]确定其结构以来,化学家研究和发展了许多合成麝香酮的方法[2].Stoll[3]提出的由2,15-十六二酮经分子内环合后氢化得到麝香酮,其操作简便,但尚需解决2,15-十六二酮的来源问题.5,6,7,8-四氢叶酸辅酶在生物体内的功能和作用及仿生合成已成为仿生化学研究的重要课题[4].四氢叶酸辅酶在生物体内传递不同氧化态的-碳单元,当-碳单元处于甲酸氧化态时,活性部位是形成的咪唑啉环[5,6].因此,本文以咪唑啉盐作为四氢叶酸辅酶模型,与亲核试剂双格利雅试剂作用,仿生合成2,15-十六二酮.     

Formation of lithium,sodium and potassium complexes with 1,3,5‐triamino‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol (taci)

Single crystals of (1,3‐diamino‐5‐azaniumyl‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol‐κ³O²,O⁴,O⁶)(1,3,5‐triamino‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol‐κ³O²,O⁴,O⁶)lithium(I) diiodide dihydrate, [Li(C₆H₁₆N₃O₃)(C₆H₁₅N₃O₃)]I₂·2H₂O or [Li(Htaci)(taci)]I₂·2H₂O (taci is 1,3,5‐triamino‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol), (I), bis(1,3,5‐triamino‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol‐κ³O²,O⁴,O⁶)sodium(I) iodide, [Na(C₆H₁₅N₃O₃)₂]I or [Na(taci)₂]I, (II), and bis(1,3,5‐triamino‐1,3,5‐trideoxy‐cis‐inositol‐κ³O²,O⁴,O⁶)potassium(I) iodide, [K(C₆H₁₅N₃O₃)₂]I or [K(taci)₂]I, (III), were grown by diffusion of MeOH into aqueous solutions of the complexes. The structures of the Na and K complexes are isotypic. In all three complexes, the taci ligands adopt a chair conformation with axial hydroxy groups, and the metal cations exhibit exclusive O‐atom coordination. The six O atoms of the resulting MO₆ unit define a centrosymmetric trigonal antiprism with approximate D_3d symmetry. The interligand O...O distances increase significantly in the order Li < Na < K. The structure of (I) exhibits a complex three‐dimensional network of R—NH₂—H...NH₂—R, R—O—H...NH₂—R and R—O—H...O(H)—H...NH₂—R hydrogen bonds. The structures of the Na and K complexes consist of a stack of layers, in which each taci ligand is bonded to three neighbours via pairwise O—H...NH₂ interactions between vicinal HO—CH—CH—NH₂ groups.

Facile Synthesis of 5‐Hexyl‐4‐methyl‐γ‐butyrolactone via Nef Reaction as a Key Step

A racemic cis/trans mixture of 5‐hexyl‐4‐methyl‐γ‐butyrolactone was easily synthesized from 1‐iodoheptane in four steps with inexpensive and readily available reagents.

Biomimetic Synthesis of Metal Ion‐Doped Hierarchical Crystals Using a Gel Matrix: Formation of Cobalt‐Doped LiMn2O4 with Improved Electrochemical Properties through a Cobalt‐Doped MnCO3 Precursor

We have synthesized spinel type cobalt‐doped LiMn₂O₄ (LiMn_2?yCo_yO₄, 0≤y≤0.367), a cathode material for a lithium‐ion battery, with hierarchical sponge structures via the cobalt‐doped MnCO₃ (Mn_1‐xCo_xCO₃, 0≤x≤0.204) formed in an agar gel matrix. Biomimetic crystal growth in the gel matrix facilitates the generation of both an homogeneous solid solution and the hierarchical structures under ambient condition. The controlled composition and the hierarchical structure of the cobalt‐doped MnCO₃ precursor played an important role in the formation of the cobalt‐doped LiMn₂O₄. The charge–discharge reversible stability of the resultant LiMn_1.947Co_0.053O₄ was improved to ca. 12 % loss of the discharge capacity after 100 cycles, while pure LiMn₂O₄ showed 24 % loss of the discharge capacity after 100 cycles. The parallel control of the hierarchical structure and the composition in the precursor material through a biomimetic approach, promises the development of functional materials under mild conditions.     

Bioinspired Synthesis of (−)‐PF‐1018

The combination of electrocyclizations and cycloadditions accounts for the formation of a range of fascinating natural products. Cascades consisting of 8π electrocyclizations followed by a 6π electrocyclization and a cycloaddition are relatively common. We now report the synthesis of the tetramic acid PF‐1018 through an 8π electrocyclization, the product of which is immediately intercepted by a Diels–Alder cycloaddition. The success of this pericyclic cascade was critically dependent on the substitution pattern of the starting polyene and could be rationalized through DFT calculations. The completion of the synthesis required the instalment of a trisubstituted double bond by radical deoxygenation. An unexpected side product formed through 4‐exo‐trig radical cyclization could be recycled through an unprecedented triflation/fragmentation.     

Liquid-Phase Synthesis of Methyl （2Z）-2-Arylsulfonylmethyl-2-alkenoates from PEG-Supported a-Phenylselenopropionate

Treatment of lithio derivativ e of novel PEG-supported a-phenylselenopropionate with aldehydes, followed by oxidation-elimination with 30% hydrogen peroxide, formed Baylis-Hillman products, which were then reacted with sodium arylsulfinate. The resulting sulfonylated products were cleaved from the PEG efficiently affording methyl （2Z）-2-arylsulfonylmethyl-2-alkenoates in good yields and high purities.     

Novel Synthesis of α‐Diketones from Bisbenzimidazolium Salt and Grignard Reagents

Copper‐Catalyzed One‐Pot Synthesis of Functionalized Pyrroles from Sulfonyl Azides,Alkynes, and (p‐Toluenesulfonyl)methyl Isocyanide

A Bioinspired Synthesis of (±)‐Rubrobramide, (±)‐Flavipucine,and (±)‐Isoflavipucine

A biomimetic synthesis of naturally occurring lactams rubrobramide, flavipucine, and isoflavipucine is described. The key step is a regioselective Darzens reaction between isobutyl glyoxal and an α‐bromo‐β‐ketoamide. The construction of the core tricyclic ring system of rubrobramide was achieved by a cascade reaction in a single step from an α,β‐epoxy‐γ‐lactam. Furthermore, the absolute configuration of naturally occurring (+)‐rubrobramide was determined by vibrational circular dichroism. (±)‐Flavipucine and (±)‐isoflavipucine were synthesized from an epoxyimide, which was prepared by reaction of isobutyl glyoxal with a protected α‐bromo‐β‐ketoamide. Deprotection of the epoxyimide and formation of the pyridone ring gave (±)‐flavipucine, which was converted into (±)‐isoflavipucine by thermal isomerization.     

Biomimetic Total Synthesis of (±)‐Pallavicinolide A

Piecing it together : The first total synthesis of naturally occurring diterpene pallavicinolide A was achieved. Notable features are highlighted by three key biomimetic transformations: a base‐promoted Grob fragmentation, a singlet oxygen oxidation, and an intramolecular Diels–Alder cycloaddition.

The synthesis is regiospecific and functional group‐tolerant.     

溴化镁催化的1,2,3,4-四氢吡啶酮无溶剂合成研究

An efficient and environmentally friendly procedure for the one-pot synthesis of tetrahydropyrimidinones from aldehydes, β-diketones and urea/thiourea by using magnesium bromide as an inexpensive and easily available catalyst under solvent-free conditions was described. Compared with the classical Biginelli reaction conditions, this new method has the advantage of good to excellent yields (74%-94%) and short reaction time (45-90 min). The structure of the Biginelli reaction product from β-diketone, salicylaldehyde and urea has been proposed to possess an oxygen-bridge by cyclization (intramolecular Michael-addition).
