Parallel synthesis of 3-amino-4H-quinolizin-4-ones, fused 3-amino-4H-pyrimidin-4-ones, and fused 3-amino-2H-pyran-2-ones

On the basis of the enaminone methodology, libraries of 3-amino-4H-quinolizin-4-ones, fused 3-amino-4H-pyrimidin-4-ones, and fused 3-amino-2H-pyran-2-ones were synthesized by the solid-phase and by the solution-phase parallel synthesis. The solution-phase approach turned out to be advantageous over the solid-phase approach. The solution-phase synthesis afforded, in most cases, analytically pure products in high yields, whereas the solid-phase approach gave products in poor yields and in low purity.     

Stereoselective reduction of chiral trans-3-acetyl-4-alkylpyrrolidin-2-ones

A number of trans-3-acetyl-4-alkylpyrrolidin-2-ones 8a–d and 11a,b were prepared and reduction of the keto group, carried out with KBH₄ in CH₃OH, led mainly to 3-hydroxyethylpyrrolidin-2-ones 13a–d and 19a,b with high stereoselection. Configuration of the newly formed stereogenic centre on the hydroxyethyl chain was assigned by ¹H NMR data supported by molecular mechanic calculations and eventually confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis of p-iodobenzoate derivative 15.

Asymmetric synthesis of 3-amino-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutanoate, a key component of the natural product bestatin and HIV protease inhibitors of KNI-272 and R-87366, has been achieved from the stereoselective aldimine coupling reaction between 3-phenyl-2-aminopropanenitrile and (Z)-α-methoxy trimethylsilyl ketene acetal in the presence of Lewis acids.

Optically active 4-amino-4-aryl-5,5,5-trifluoropentan-2-ones: Versatile reagents for synthesis of chiral 4-trifluoromethyl-3,4-dihydroazin-2-ones

A cyclocondensation of disubstituted (thio)ureas and isocyanates derived from enantiomerically enriched 4-amino-4-aryl-5,5,5-trifluoropentan-2-ones affords a novel synthetic access to chiral 4-trifluoromethyl-substituted 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-(thi)ones and 3,4-dihydro-1,3-oxazin-2-ones, respectively.     

Solid-supported solution-phase synthesis of 4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepine-3-ones

Starting from Boc-o-aminomethylphenylalanine, a solution-phase parallel synthesis of 2,4-substituted 4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepine-3-ones is described. This heterocycle has two nitrogen functions, which are differentiated and can be selectively substituted. The sources of diversity are aldehydes for the R(1) position and carboxylic acids, sulfonyl chlorides, or isocyanates for the R(2) position. High-throughput synthesis and purification of this multistep synthetic sequence was accomplished using polymer-bound reagents and scavengers and liquid-liquid extraction protocols, and a small library of compounds was prepared. Polymer-bound cyanoborohydride was found to work well for the reductive amination. Scavenging of excess of amine was performed by polymer-bound benzaldehyde, and cyclization was performed in the presence of polymer-bound coupling reagent 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide (EDC). After Boc-deprotection, the second nitrogen can be acylated using carboxylic acids, sulfonylated or converted to a urea. The acylation is again performed by polymer-bound EDC. Excellent yields and purities were obtained.     

Stereospecific synthesis of cis- and trans-4-amino-3-hydroxythiophanes

The reduction of 4-benzoylamino- and 4-carbethoxyamino-3-ketothiophanes proceeds stereospecifically to form only trans-4-benzoylamino- and trans-4-carbethoxyamino-3-hydroxythiophanes, respectively, from which trans-4-amino-3-hydroxythiophane is obtained by alkaline hydrolysis. It was established that acid hydrolysis of trans-4-carbethoxyamino-3-hydroxythiophane leads only to trans-4-amino-3-hydroxythiophane, while acid hydrolysis of trans-4-benzoylamino-3-hydroxythiophane is accompanied by inversion to form cis-4-amino-3-hydroxythiophane. Derivatives of the cis- and trans-isomeric pairs of 4-amino-3-hydroxythiophanes were synthesized.Translated from Khimiya Geterotsilicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 12, pp. 1609–1613, December, 1970.

A mild and general strategy for the synthesis of 2-substituted 4-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrahydro-2-benzazepine-3-ones is described. The seven-membered lactam is prepared by intramolecular amide bond formation from the intermediate amino acid, which is obtained either by reductive alkylation of a variety of amines with N-Boc,N-Me-ortho-formyl-Phe and Phth-ortho-formyl-Phe, or by reductive amination of a variety of aldehydes with N-Boc-ortho-aminomethyl-Phe.

In the reaction of 2 with 1,3-diketones trisubsti tuted pyrroles 14–16 were formed.

Enantiopure formaldehyde N,N-dialkylhydrazones 1 smoothly react with prochiral alkylidene malonates 2 in the presence of MgI2 to afford the corresponding Michael adducts 3 in excellent yields and good diastereoselectivities; direct racemization-free BF3.OEt2-catalyzed thiolysis of the hydrazone C=N bond affords the corresponding dithioketals 7 in optically pure or enantiomerically enriched form.     

Asymmetric synthesis of enantiomerically pure 7-isopropenyl-4a-methyl-3-methyleneoctahydrochromen-2-ones

Four stereoisomers of 7-isopropenyl-4a-methyl-3-methyleneoctahydrochromenon-2-one have been obtained for the first time. The key step of the synthesis involves asymmetric Michael addition of chiral enamines derived from dihydrocarvone to acrylate 1. Absolute configurations were established by X-ray analysis.     

Uncatalyzed synthesis of 3-amino-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones

Uncatalyzed one-pot pseudo-four-component reaction of ethyl pyruvate, anilines, and aldehydes in n-hexane as solvent, under reflux, affords a variety of 3-amino-1,5-dihydro-2H-pyrrol-2-ones in high yield. n-Hexane is an excellent driving force in preparation of the desired products. These compounds have biological and pharmacological properties and are also used in medicinal chemistry. Use of a non-toxic and inexpensive solvent, simple and efficient synthesis, clean work-up, and high yields of the products are the advantages of this method. We report the first catalyst-free method for synthesis this class of compounds.

Plausible mechanisms for these transformations were given.     

Asymmetric synthesis of polysubstituted 4-amino- and 3,4-diaminochromanes with a chiral multifunctional organocatalyst

A series of multifunctional catalysts with two chiral diaminocyclohexane units were developed and successfully applied in the asymmetric oxa-Michael-aza-Henry cascade reaction of salicylaldimines with nitroolefins. This approach provides a simple and efficient entry to polysubstituted chiral 4-aminobenzopyrans with three consecutive stereocenters and in high yield (up to 97%) with excellent stereoselectivity (up to 98% ee and >99:1 dr). Facile access to the nonsymmetric optically pure 3,4-diaminochromanes was also obtained.

Asymmetric radical additions using chiral 1,3-dioxolane-4-ones

Moderate facial selectivities are observed in additions of alkyl radicals to the chiral (c,d) olefin (2S)-2-tert-butyl-5-ethoxycarbonylmethylene-1,3-dioxolane-4-one 1. The following hydrogen abstraction from tributylstannane proceeds with excellent asymmetric stereocontrol, leading to two of four possible diastereoisomers with high diastereomeric excesses. Additions of chiral radicals obtained from (2R,5R)-5-alkyl-5-bromo-1,3-dioxolane-4-ones to ethyl acrylate show high asymmetric 1,3-induction.
