Catalytic Approach for the Synthesis of bis‐Calixarenes

Three new tail‐to‐tail linked biscalix[6]arenes joined via ether linkages have been synthesized. These bis calix[6]arenes have been characterized by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and mass spectroscopy and elemental analysis.     

Synthesis of N‐Glycoside Analogs via Thionolactones

Indolyl N‐glycoside analogs were obtained by a two‐step sequence via indole N‐thioamides. Treatment of thionobutyrolactone with indolylmagnesium bromide provides the corresponding indole N‐thioamide. The use of 10:1 toluene:THF as solvent is important in favoring N‐ over C3‐acylation. Treatment of the ω‐hydroxythioamide with 2 equiv of Meerwein's reagent followed by sodium borohydride gives the corresponding N‐(tetrahydrofuranyl)indole. Addition of carbon nucleophiles gives access to ketose nucleoside analogs, while activation of the ω‐hydroxyl group can give access to tetrahydrothiophene N‐glycosides.     

Stereoselective Synthesis of α,α′‐Spirane‐Bridged Dibenzyl Ligands

Benzylation in the α,α′‐positions in the benzospirane, 2,2′‐spirobiindane in a cis,cis manner has been effected from the corresponding diketone. Initial Grignard reactions and subsequent water elimination provided a stereoisomeric mixture of α,α′‐alkylidene intermediates, which were stereoselectively hydrogenated to cis,cis‐dibenzyl derivatives. The structure of intermediates in the reaction sequence has been ascertained by X‐ray analyses.

Synthesis of the C‐Glycoside of Methyl α‐d‐Altropyranosyl‐(1→4)‐α‐d‐glucopyranoside

The C‐glycoside of methyl α‐d‐altropyranosyl‐(1→4)‐α‐d‐glucopyranoside 2 was prepared in a convergent fashion, from readily available precursors, 4‐O‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyl‐1,2‐O‐isopropylidene‐d‐erythro‐S‐phenyl monothiohemiacetal 13 (five steps from D‐ribose) and the known acid, methyl 2,3,6‐tri‐O‐benzyl‐4‐C‐(carboxymethyl)‐4‐deoxy‐α‐d‐glucopyranoside 17 (seven steps from methyl α‐d‐glucopyranoside). The key reactions in the synthesis are the oxocarbenium ion cyclization of thioacetal‐enol ether 19 to a C1 substituted glycal 20, and the stereoselective hydroboration of 20 to the α‐C‐altroside 21.     

Synthesis of Per‐acetyl d‐fucopyranosyl Bromide and Its Use in Preparation of Diphyllin d‐fucopyranosyl Glycoside

The per‐O‐acetyl‐d‐fucosyl bromide (9) was expediently prepared for C‐6 deoxygenation of d‐galactose in six steps in 32.5% yield. Employing phase transfer catalysis glycosylation (PTC), d‐fucopyranosyl diphyllin (4), the analog of natural diphyllin glycoside, was synthesized by using 9 as the glycosyl donor in 67.1% in two steps. The product was identified by ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR, and HRMS. Its abilities to inhibit the growth of cancer cells in vitro also are discussed.     

Synthesis of Thiourea Derivatives on Soluble Polymeric Support

A modified poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has been developed as the soluble polymeric supports for liquid phase synthesis of novel thiourea derivatives.In each step of the sequence,the PEG-bound products were precipitated in cold Et2O and the unreacted materials and by-products were removed by simple filtration.The progress of reaction,purity of the isolation and the structure of the PEG-bound products were easily monitored by TLC,IR and ^1H NMR spectra.Representative thiourea derivatives were obtained in moderate yields with excellent purity from this modified PEG-bound product by the cleavage with 50% TFA/H2O.     

Synthesis of Symmetrical and Asymmetrical Phenethyl Thiourea Compounds as Nonnucleoside Inhibitors of HIV‐1 Reverse Transcriptase

Abstract

Synthesis of symmetrical and asymmetrical phenethyl thioureas was accomplished in two steps with an overall yield of 75–80%. Condensation of a substituted phenethyl amine with thiocarbonyldiimidazole, followed by treatment with one more equivalent of the phenethylamine in DMF, yielded the desired symmetrical phenethyl thiourea compound as a crystalline solid. In the case of asymmetrical thiourea derivatives, different amines were selected and condensed using a similar procedure. A series of 45 thioureas was synthesized.     

One‐Step Synthesis of Singly Bridged Biscalix[4]arenes with Oligooxyethyleneethyl Spacers

Here we describe the one‐step synthesis of a series of singly bridged biscalix[4]arene derivatives connected by ethylene or oligooxyethyleneethyl chain through the reaction of calix[4]arene with corresponding ethylene or oligoethylene glycol ditosylates in the presence of sodium hydride in toluene. A 1,2‐bis(ethylene) doubly bridged bis‐p‐tert‐butylcalix[4]arene was also obtained as a by‐product.     

Synthesis of Z‐N‐Alkenylformamides

Commercially available difluorinated benzaldehyde was converted to the Z‐N‐alkenylformamides via Horner–Emmons olefination and Curtius rearrangement, followed by reduction with tri‐tert‐butoxy‐aluminohydride.     

Synthesis of Heterocyclic Thiourea Compounds with Amino Acid Side Chain as Nonnucleoside Inhibitors of HIV‐1 Reverse Transcriptase

Heterocyclic thioureas having an amino acid ester side chain were prepared in two steps with overall yields of 65–85%. Condensation of a substituted heterocyclic amine with thiocarbonyldiimidazole, followed by treatment with an amino acid methyl ester hydrochloride in DMF, yielded the desired heterocyclic thioureas as crystalline solids. Amino acid esters such as glycine, leucine, valine, phenyl alanine, and tryptophan were used to prepare these thioureas.

Synthesis of 2,3‐Dihydroxy‐1‐Epilupinine

The 1,3‐dipolar cycloaddition of unsaturated D‐threo‐hexaldonolactone 3 and a six‐membered cyclic nitrone 11 led to a single adduct 15, which could be transformed into (1S, 2S, 3S, 9aS)‐2,3‐dihydroxy‐1‐hydroxymethyl‐quinolizidine 28 related to epilupinine via a reaction sequence involving rearrangement of the six‐membered lactone ring into a five‐membered one, removal of the terminal carbon atom from the sugar chain, cleavage of the N‐O bond, and the intramolecular alkylation of the nitrogen atom.      

Synthesis of (−)‐Isofagomine

Abstract

1,3‐Dipolar cycloaddition of N‐benzyl nitrone 2 to D‐threo δ‐lactone 15 proceeded with excellent stereoselectivity to provide only one adduct 16. Cycloadduct 16 was subsequently subjected to a sequence of reactions involving rearrangement to γ‐lactone, glycolic cleavage/reduction, protection of the terminal hydroxymethyl group, reduction of the lactone, desilylation/mesylation, and hydrogenolysis of the N‐O bond providing (?)‐isofagomine and its N‐substituted derivatives. The biologic activity of N‐substituted (?)‐isofagomines toward commercially available α‐ and β‐glucosidases, α‐D‐mannosidase, α‐L‐fucosidase, β‐D‐glucuronidase, and β‐D‐galactosidase was tested.     

Asymmetric Synthesis of (+)‐epi‐Cytoxazone

The asymmetric synthesis of (+)‐epi‐cytoxazone, a stereoisomer of potent cytokine modulator cytoxazone, starting from anisaldehyde in six steps, is described. The required configuration was established via Sharpless kinetic resolution followed by the Mitsunobu reaction.
