Intramolecular reactions of hydroperoxides and oxetanes: stereoselective synthesis of 1,2-dioxolanes and 1,2-dioxanes

[reactions: see text] The 5-exo openings of oxetanes by hydroperoxides proceed rapidly and stereospecifically to furnish 1,2-dioxolanes. The corresponding 6-exo cyclizations are slower and proceed with moderate stereoselectivity. In the case of hydroperoxy acetals, 5-exo nucleophilic transfer of alkoxide competes effectively with 6-exo attack by the hydroperoxide.     

Formation of 1,2-dioxolanes using Mn(III)-based reaction of various arylacetylenes with 2,4-pentanedione and related reaction

The manganese(III)-based aerobic oxidation of arylacetylenes with 2,4-pentanedione at ambient temperature unexpectedly gave the 1,2-dioxolane derivatives in moderate yields together with a small amount of the oxiranes. The 1,2-dioxolanes underwent silica gel-assisted contraction to quantitatively give the oxiranes. The reaction pathway for the formation of the 1,2-dioxolanes and the by-product was discussed.     

Synthesis of enantiopure 1,4-dioxanes, morpholines, and piperazines from the reaction of chiral 1,2-diols, amino alcohols, and diamines with vinyl selenones

The reactions of readily available vinyl selenones with enantiopure 1,2-diols, N-protected-1,2-aminoalcohols, and diamines gave substituted enantiopure 1,4-dioxanes, morpholines, and piperazines, respectively, in good to excellent yields. The same procedure was extended to the synthesis of thiomorpholine, benzodiazepine, and benzoxazepine. The reactions proceeded in one pot, in the presence of base, through a simple and novel application of the Michael-initiated, ring-closure (MIRC) reactions. The formed heterocycles constitute a framework that is observed in a large number of pharmaceutical compounds.

Synthesis and oxygen-atom transfer reactions of 3-hydroperoxy-3,4,4,5,5-pentasubstituted-1,2-dioxolanes

A series of 3-hydroperoxy-3,4,4,5,5-pentasubstituted-1,2-dioxolanes 2a-d were synthesized in good yield from the corresponding 3-hydroxy-1,2-dioxolanes by reaction with concentrated hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile with p-toluenesulfonic acid as catalyst. The 3-hydroperoxy-1,2-dioxolanes were effective oxygen-atom transfer reagents for the oxidation of thioanisole, triethylamine and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene to the sulfoxide, N-oxide and epoxide, respectively. The reactions occurred under mild conditions and were found to be of the second order overall. The second order rate constants (k₂) were determined for oxidation of thioanisole by 2a-d in deuteriochloroform. For 2a , k₂ values for N-oxidation and epoxidation were also measured. The 3-hydroperoxy-1,2-dioxolanes were found to be less reactive than the structurally similar cyclic α-azohydroperoxides but much more reactive than simple hydroperoxides. The mechanism of oxygen-atom transfer is postulated to occur via nucleophilic attack of the substrate on the terminal oxygen of the hydroperoxide. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the hydroperoxy proton to a dioxolane oxygen appears to account for the reaction order in aprotic media.

On the preparation of 2-halo alkyl substituted 1,3-dioxolanes and 1,3-dioxanes

Several methods for the preparation of 2-perfluoromethyl-substituted 1,3-dioxolanes and 1,3-dioxanes were tried. The method of Nerdel for the preparation of 1,3-dioxolanes, making use of the condensation between carbonyl compounds and oxiranes, was found to be suitable for perhalogenated ketones and aldehydes, and may even be extended to oxetanes, affording 2-perhaloalkylated 1,3-dioxanes.The yield of the cyclic acetals drops with inreasing substitution.     

The Synthesis of Unusual Organic Molecules Using Cyclic Peroxides. New synthetic methods (3)

The photodecarboxylation of malonyl peroxides into α-lactones^[1] and the thermal conversion of the 1,4-endo-peroxide 4,5-epoxy-3,6-epidioxy-1-cyclohexene into the novel benzene trioxide^[2] are two recent examples of the potential of cyclic peroxides in the synthesis of unusual organic molecules. The former transformation entails a fragmentation, the latter a rearrangement process. Most reported examples fall into one of these two gross reaction types. Of the numerous examples that have been reported in the literature during the last two decades, only those shall be focused on that lead to unusual compounds or constitute efficient syntheses of known compounds, in order to stress the convenience of cyclic peroxides in the synthesis of organic compounds.

Synthesis of 1,2-dioxolanes by annulation reactions of peroxycarbenium ions with alkenes

[reaction: see text] The annulation reactions of alkenes with peroxycarbenium ions enable the synthesis of a variety of functionalizable 1,2-dioxolanes. Triethysilyl-protected peroxycarbenium ions proved to be optimal for the annulation reaction. Using this method, plakinic acid analogues can be synthesized in three steps from the corresponding ketone and alkene.

Rhodium-Mediated Stoichiometric Synthesis of Mono-, Bi-, and Bis-1,2-Azaborinines: 1-Rhoda-3,2-azaboroles as Reactive Precursors

A series of highly substituted 1,2-azaborinines, including a phenylene-bridged bis-1,2-azaborinine, was synthesized from the reaction of 1,2-azaborete rhodium complexes with variously substituted alkynes. 1-Rhoda-3,2-azaborole complexes, which are accessible by phosphine addition to the corresponding 1,2-azaborete complexes, were also found to be suitable precursors for the synthesis of 1,2-azaborinines and readily reacted with alkynyl-substituted 1,2-azaborinines to generate new regioisomers of bi-1,2-azaborinines, which feature directly connected aromatic rings. Their molecular structures, which can be viewed as boron-nitrogen isosteres of biphenyls, show nearly perpendicular 1,2-azaborinine rings. The new method using rhodacycles instead of 1,2-azaborete complexes as precursors is shown to be more effective, allowing the synthesis of a wider range of 1,2-azaborinines.

Synthesis, characterization and antitumor activity of 1,2-disubstituted ferrocenes and cyclodextrin inclusion complexes

Seven different ferrocene derivatives have been tested in vitro against Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. Neither ferrocene nor the monosubstituted derivative N,N-dimethylaminomethylferrocene showed cytotoxic activity (IC₅₀ > 1000 μM for 3 h treatments). Better results were obtained with 1,2-disubstituted derivatives. The IC₅₀ values ranged from 376.6 μM for 1,2-diformylferrocene to 71.2 μM for racemic 2-(N,N-dimethylaminomethyl)ferrocenecarboxamide. The latter derivative was also encapsulated in native β-cyclodextrin (CD), heptakis-2,3,6-tri-O-methyl-β-CD (TRIMEB) and 2-hydroxypropyl-β-CD (HPβCD) to give 1:1 (host:guest) inclusion compounds. The existence of true inclusion complexes in the solid state was confirmed by a combination of powder X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis, FTIR and ¹³C CP MAS NMR spectroscopy. The IC₅₀ value for the β-CD inclusion compound was identical to that obtained for the nonincluded ferrocene derivative. By contrast, the inclusion compounds comprising TRIMEB and HPβCD yielded IC₅₀ values of 25.2 and 20.0 μM, respectively. No obvious relationship could be established between the redox behavior of the compounds determined by cyclic voltammetry and the biochemical data.     

Synthesis and conformational analysis by 1H NMR and restrained molecular dynamics simulations of the cyclic decapeptide [Ser-Tyr-Ser-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly]

Summary The design of enzyme mimics with therapeutic and industrial applications has interested both experimental and computational chemists for several decades. Recent advances in the computational methodology of restrained molecular dynamics, used in conjunction with data obtained from two-dimensional ¹H NMR spectroscopy, make it a promising method to study peptide and protein structure and function. Several issues, however, need to be addressed in order to assess the validity of this method for its explanatory and predictive value. Among the issues addressed in this study are: the accuracy and generizability of the GROMOS peptide molecular mechanics force field; the effect of inclusion of solvent on the simulations; and the effect of different types of restraining algorithms on the computational results. The decapeptide Ser-Tyr-Ser-Met-Glu-His-Phe-Arg-Trp-Gly, which corresponds to the sequence of ACTH_1–10, has been synthesized, cyclized, and studied by two-dimensional ¹H NMR spectroscopy. Restrained molecular dynamics (RMD) and time-averaged restrained molecular dynamics (TARMD) simulations were carried out on four different distance-geometry starting structures in order to determine and contrast the behavior of cyclic ACTH_1–10 in vacuum and in solution. For the RMD simulations, the structures did not fit the NOE data well, even at high values of the restraining potential. The TARMD simulation method, however, was able to give structures that fit the NOE data at high values of the restraining potential. In both cases, inclusion of explicit solvent molecules in the simulation had little effect on the quality of the fit, although it was found to dampen the motion of the cyclic peptide. For both simulation techniques, the number and size of the NOE violations increased as the restraining potential approached zero. This is due, presumably, to inadequacies in the force field. Additional TARMD vacuum-phase simulations, run with a larger memory length or with a larger sampling size (16 additional distance-geometry structures), yielded no significantly different results. The computed data were then analyzed to help explain the sparse NOE data and poor chymotryptic activity of the cyclic peptide. Cyclic ACTH_1–10, which contains the functional moieties of the catalytic triad of chymotrypsin, was evaluated as a potential mimic of chymotrypsin by measurement of the rate of hydrolysis of esters of L-and d-phenylalanine. The poor rate of hydrolysis is attributed to the flexibility of the decapeptide, the motion of the side chains, which result in the absence of long-range NOEs, the small size of the macrocycle relative to that of the substrate, and the inappropriate orientation of the Gly, His, and Ser residues. The results demonstrate the utility of this method in computer-aided molecular design of cyclic peptides and suggest structural modifications for future work based on a larger and more rigid peptide framework.     

Unusual Skeletal Reorganization of Oxetanes for the Synthesis of 1,2-Dihydroquinolines

Skeletal reorganization is a type of fascinating transformations owing to their intriguing mechanisms and utility in complex molecule synthesis. However, only a limited amount of examples are known for most functional groups. Herein, we describe such an unusual process of oxetanes. In the presence of In(OTf)₃ as catalyst, oxetane-tethered anilines reacted unexpectedly to form 1,2-dihydroquinolines. This process not only provides expedient access to dihydroquinolines, but also represents a new reaction of oxetane. Mechanistically, it is believed that the reaction proceeds through initial nitrogen attack rather than arene attack followed by a series of bond cleavage and formation events. Control experiments provided important insights into the mechanism.
