Regioselective Deprotection and Acylation of Penta-N-Protected Thermopentamine

The synthesis of the penta-N-protected polyamide 1 (tert-butyl N-{9-allyl-16-azido-13-(trifluoroacetyl)-4-[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethylsulfonyl]-4,9,13-triazahexadecyl]carbamate=tert-butyl N-{3-{{4-{allyl{3-[(3-azidopropyl)(trifluoroacetyl)aminopropyl}amino}butyl}{[2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl]sulfonyl}amino}propyl}carbamate) is described, a derivative of thermopentamine (PA 3433) containing five independently removable amino-protecting groups. The selective deprotection of the five protecting groups used, i.e., of allyl, azido, (tert-butoxy)carbonyl (Boc), trifluoroacetyl, and [2-(trimethylsilyl)ethyl]sulfonyl (SES), as well as the rapid transamidation reaction of the trifluoroacetyl group yielding secondary amides is discussed. Subsequent acylation with 4-methoxycinnamoyl chloride at each N-atom of the pentamine backbone is achieved. For the acylation of the terminal N-atom the azido group is replaced by a (2,2,2-trichloro-1,1-dimethylethoxy)carbonyl (Tcboc) group.

Exploring Cooperative Effects in Oxidative NHC Catalysis: Regioselective Acylation of Carbohydrates

The utility of oxidative NHC catalysis for both the regioselective and chemoselective functionalization of carbohydrates is explored. Chiral NHCs allow for the highly regioselective oxidative esterification of various carbohydrates using aldehydes as acylation precursors. The transformation was also shown to be amenable to both cis/trans diol isomers, free amino groups, and selective for specific sugar epimers in competition experiments. Efficiency and regioselectivity of the acylation can be improved upon using two different NHC catalysts that act cooperatively. The potential of the method is documented by the regioselective acylation of an amino‐linked neodisaccharide.     

Controllable Regioselective Acylation of Flavonoids Catalyzed by Lipase in Microreactors

A method for regioselective acylation of flavonoids (naringin and naringin dihydrochalcone) in a flow microreactor using Lipozyme TL IM from Thermomyces lanuginosus as the catalyst has been developed. The important features of this method include mild reaction conditions, short reaction times (30 min), high yields, and high regioselectivities.     

Regioselective Hydrolysis of Cocaine and A Convenient Acylation Procedure by Benzoylecgonine

Regioselective Acylation of Ginsenosides by Novozyme 435 to Generate Molecular Diversity

Ginsenosides are major bioactive constituents of ginseng (Panax spp.; Araliaceae), a traditional Chinese medicinal herb. In order to increase the molecular diversity and broaden the potential usage of ginsenosides, ginsenosides Rd ( 1 ), Rg3 ( 2 ), (20R)‐Rg3 ( 3 ), Rh2 ( 4 ), Re ( 5 ), Rh1 ( 8 ), Rg2 ( 9 ), gypenoside XVII ( 6 ), and pseudoginsenoside F11 ( 7 ) were regioselectively acylated with vinyl acetate, catalyzed by Novozyme 435 (lipase B from Candida antarctica), in organic solvents to afford different mono‐acetyl ginsenosides. Ginsenoside Rd ( 1 ) was also acylated with vinyl decanoate or vinyl cinnamate to generate 1b and 1c , respectively. Acylation of glucosylated ginsenosides ( 1 – 4, 6, 8 ) occurred at the primary 6‐OH function of the terminal glucose (Glc) moiety of the sugar at C(3) or C(20) of the dammarane‐type aglycone. In contrast, ginsenosides 5, 7 , and 9 , containing mixed sugar moieties, resulted in acylation of both the rhamnose (Rha) and the glucose (Glc) moieties. In the case of ginsenoside Re ( 5 ) and pseudoginsenoside F11 ( 7 ), acylation at the secondary 4‐OH function of the terminal Rha moiety, attached at C(3) of the aglycone, is preferred. The structures of all acylated products were determined by extensive MALDI‐TOF‐MS and NMR analyses.     

Regioselective Acylation of 2＇- or 3＇-Hydroxyl Group in Salicin： Hemisynthesis of Acylated Salicins

Salicin-based phenolic glycosides（PGs） are important defensive substances against herbivore feeding and have good bioactivities. In this work, a novel approach for the synthesis of salicin-based PGs has been developed, by which PGs of 2＇-O-acetylsaliein（5a）, 3＇-O-acetylsalicin（gb） and 3＇-O-benzoylsalicin（Sd） were hemisynthesized. The effects of acylation reagent, solvent and temperature on the regioselective acylation of 2＇- or 3＇-hydroxyl groups of salicin mediated by dibutyltin oxide were investigated. The optimal conditions under which the best regioselectivity reached for 5a-5d were discovered, respectively. Moreover, a tentative tin-oxygen coordination mechanism was put forward to explain the different regioselectivities shown under different conditions.

Regioselective palladium-catalyzed synthesis of beta-arylated primary allylamine equivalents by an efficient Pd-N coordination.

A highly regioselective Heck arylation, utilizing aryl triflates and a palladium/dppf catalytic system, can be performed at the internal, beta-carbon of Boc- and phthalimido-protected allylamines, yielding arylated primary allylamine equivalents. The very high regioselectivity obtained with secondary Boc-protected allylamides is suggested to be caused by an efficient coordination between an anionic nitrogen and palladium. Single-mode microwave irradiation has been utilized to shorten the reaction times and, in the case of Boc-protected allylamides, to improve the yields of two electron-poor aryl triflates.     

A mechanistic investigation of carbon-hydrogen bond stannylation: synthesis and characterization of nickel catalysts

The complex ((i)Pr(3)P)Ni(η(2)-Bu(3)SnCH=CH(2))(2) (1a) was characterized by NMR spectroscopy and was identified as the active species for catalytic C-H bond stannylation of partially fluorinated aromatics, for example in the reaction between pentafluorobenzene and Bu(3)SnCH=CH(2), which generates C(6)F(5)SnBu(3) and ethylene. The crystalline complex ((i)Pr(3)P)Ni(η(2)-Ph(3)SnCH=CH(2))(2) (1b) provides a more easily handled analogue, and is also capable of catalytic stannylation with added Ph(3)SnCH=CH(2) and C(6)F(5)H. Mechanistic studies on 1b show that the catalytically active species remains mononuclear. The rate of catalytic stannylation is proportional to [C(6)F(5)H] and inversely proportional to [Ph(3)SnCH=CH(2)]. This is consistent with a mechanism where reversible Ph(3)SnCH=CH(2) dissociation provides ((i)Pr(3)P)Ni(η(2)-Ph(3)SnCH=CH(2)), followed by a rate-determining reaction with C(6)F(5)H to generate the stannylation products. Kinetic competition reactions between the fluorinated aromatics pentafluorobenzene, 1,2,4,5-tetrafluorobenzene, 1,2,3,5-tetrafluorobenzene, 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene, 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene and 1,3-difluorobenzene all suggest significant Ni-aryl bond formation in the rate-determining step under catalytic conditions. Labelling studies are consistent with an insertion of the hydrogen of the arene into the vinyl group, followed by β-elimination or β-abstraction of the SnPh(3) moiety.     

Regioselective, borinic acid-catalyzed monoacylation, sulfonylation and alkylation of diols and carbohydrates: expansion of substrate scope and mechanistic studies

Synthetic and mechanistic aspects of the diarylborinic acid-catalyzed regioselective monofunctionalization of 1,2- and 1,3-diols are presented. Diarylborinic acid catalysis is shown to be an efficient and general method for monotosylation of pyranoside derivatives bearing three secondary hydroxyl groups (7 examples, 88% average yield). In addition, the scope of the selective acylation, sulfonylation, and alkylation is extended to 1,2- and 1,3-diols not derived from carbohydrates (28 examples); the efficiency, generality, and operational simplicity of this method are competitive with those of state-of-the-art protocols including the broadly applied organotin-catalyzed or -mediated reactions. Mechanistic details of the organoboron-catalyzed processes are explored using competition experiments, kinetics, and catalyst structure-activity relationships. These experiments are consistent with a mechanism in which a tetracoordinate borinate complex reacts with the electrophilic species in the turnover-limiting step of the catalytic cycle.

Regioselective sulfonation of 2-porphyrinylthiophene under kinetic and thermodynamic control

Sulfonation of meso-tetra(thien-2′-yl)porphyrin with concentrated sulfuric acid was found to produce several tetrasulfonated meso-tetra(thien-2′-yl)porphyrin isomers, where sulfonic acid groups were substituted at the 5- or the 4-positions of the thienyl groups, and the tetrasodium salts of the isomers were successfully isolated by reversed-phase HPLC. Temperature dependence of the production ratio of the isomers revealed that sulfonation reactions at the 5- and the 4-positions of 2-porphyrinylthiophene occur under kinetic and thermodynamic control, respectively.
