Stereoselective synthesis of functional derivatives of 2-(2-carboxyethyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid

Azomethine ylides generated from dimethyl 2-(arylmethylideneamino)pentanedioates by the action of AgOAc and Et₃N reacted with dipolarophiles in regio-and stereoselective fashion to form 5-aryl-2-(2-carboxyethyl)pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid derivatives. 1,3-Dipolar cycloaddition of divinyl sulfone to the azomethine ylide generated from the Schiff base derived from methyl (S)-2-phthalimido-4-oxobutanoate and dimethyl glutamate gave chiral simplified kaitocephalin analogs.

First synthesis of 4-oxo-6-trifluoromethyl-4H-thiopyran-2-carboxylic acid and its derivatives

Treatment of 6-trifluoromethylcomanic acid with sodium hydrosulfide afforded for the first time 4-oxo-6-trifluoromethyl-4H-thiopyran-2-carboxylic acid (6-trifluoromethylthiocomanic acid). When heated or treated with H₂SO₄, this acid easily underwent decarboxylation leading to 2-trifluoromethyl-4H-thiopyran-4-one. Because of this, both ethyl and methyl 6-tri-fluoromethylthiocomanates were obtained in low yields (15–23%). Decarboxylation of 6-tri-(di)fluoromethylcomanic acids gave 2-tri(di)fluoromethyl-4H-pyran-4-ones in 77–80% yields.     

Asymmetric synthesis of 2-amino-3-hydroxynorbornene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives

The enantioselective synthesis of 2-amino-3-hydroxynorbornene-2-carboxylic acid derivatives (5) was studied using the Diels-Alder reaction between cyclopentadiene and different dienophiles, i.e., alkyl 5-oxo-2-phenyloxazol-4-methylenecarbonates (1) or 2-benzoylamino-3-alkoxycarbonyloxy-acrylates (12), operating with different Lewis acids and both with thermal and with ultrasound conditions. The enantioselective synthesis of the exo/endo compounds 5c,d and 5'c,d was achieved starting from the chiral menthyl acrylates 12b,c using Mg(ClO(4))(2) as the catalyst and ultrasound. The cycloadducts were obtained in very good yield, in mild conditions, in short time, and in good diastereomeric excess (exo, 80%; endo, 87%). Finally, the use of alkylidene-oxazolones or acrylates and EtAlCl(2) or Mg(ClO(4))(2) as the catalyst allowed control of the cycloaddition reaction in favor of the exo or endo products.     

Synthesis of 2-propyloxazole and 2-propyloxazole-4-carboxylic acid derivatives

2-Propyloxazole (VI) was obtained in a number of steps starting from butyronit rile. The hydrazide and amide were obtained from ethyl 2-propyloxazole-4-carboxylate; the amide was converted to the nitrile, from which the thioamide and amidoxime were obtained by the usual method. Attempts to convert VI to 2-propylisonicotinic acid or its nitrile by the reaction of VI with acrylic acid or acrylonitrile did not give positive results.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 1, pp. 7–9, January, 1972.

Microwave-assisted synthesis of N-glycolylneuraminic acid derivatives

A rapid, efficient and scalable synthesis of biologically-relevant N-glycolylneuraminic acid derivatives from the natural N-acetyl (Neu5Ac) precursors has been developed. Microwave irradiation provides accelerated de-N-acetylation compared to more traditional methods, with optimised NaOH-promoted de-N-acetylation in only 15 min. The prepared amines were readily re-N-acylated to afford the corresponding N-glycolyl (Neu5Gc) analogues.     

Microwave-assisted solution- and solid-phase synthesis of 2-amino-4-arylpyrimidine derivatives

An efficient and rapid microwave-assisted solution-phase method for the synthesis of 2-amino-4-arylpyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid derivatives has been developed. The five-step linear protocol involves an initial Biginelli multicomponent reaction leading to dihydropyrimidine-2-thiones which are subsequently S-alkylated with methyl iodide. The resulting 2-methylthiodihydropyrimidines are sequentially oxidized first with manganese dioxide and then with Oxone to provide 2-methylsulfonyl-pyrimidines which serve as excellent precursors for the generation of a variety of 2-substituted pyrimidines via displacement of the reactive sulfonyl group with nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, and carbon nucleophiles. A modified protocol using a solid-phase method has also been developed.     

Microwave-assisted synthesis of novel bis(2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one) derivatives as potential GSK-3 inhibitors

(5Z,5′Z)-3,3′-(1,4-Phenylenebis(methylene)-bis-(5-arylidene-2-thioxothiazolidin-4-one) derivatives (5a-r) have been synthesized by the condensation reaction of 3,3′-(1,4- or 1,3-phenylenebis(methylene))bis(2-thioxothiazolidin-4-ones) (3a,b) with suitably substituted aldehydes (4a-f) or 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)2-oxoacetaldehydes (8a-c) under microwave conditions. The bis(2-thioxothiazolidin-4-ones) were prepared from the corresponding primary alkyl amines (1a,b) and di-(carboxymethyl)-trithiocarbonyl (2). The 2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-2-oxoacetaldehydes (8a-c) were synthesized from the corresponding acid chlorides (7a-c) using HSnBu₃.

This protocol tolerates a series of substitutions on the thiazole (oxazole) rings, including alkyl, carbonyl, and electron-withdrawing/donating group substituted phenyl groups.     

Synthesis of quinoline-4-carboxylic acid and its derivatives

2-Methylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid was obtained by the reaction of isatin with acetone in the presence of an alkali. This acid was converted through a step involving (E)-2-styrylquinoline-4-carboxylic acid to quinoline-2,4-dicarboxylic acid, from which quinoline-4-carboxylic acid was obtained by refluxing in nitrobenzene. The structures of the synthesized compounds were confirmed by ¹H NMR spectroscopy using two-dimensional (2DJ) spectra.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 6, pp. 819–821, June, 1988.     

Enamino derivatives of 1,3-dioxoindane-2-carboxylic acid

Although 1,3-dioxoindane-2-carboxylic acid is highly unstable, its enamino derivatives can be isolated by careful hydrolysis of their esters with 2,4-dihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone. Crystal structure determination reveals the formation of two intramolecular hydrogen bonds, offering thus a possible explanation for the stability of these acids.
