Highly Regioselective Synthesis of 3′-O-Acyl-Trifluridines Catalyzed by Pseudomonas cepacia Lipase

3'-O-Acyl-trifluridines were prepared successfully through an enzymatic approach for the first time. Among the ten commercially available lipases tested, Pseudomonas cepacia lipase displayed the highest regioselectivity towards the acylation of 3'-hydroxyl of trifluridine. Furthermore, the effects of some crucial factors on the enzymatic myristoylation of trifluridine were examined. The optimal reaction medium, molar ratio of trifluridine to vinyl myristate and reaction temperature were found to be anhydrous THF, 1:7 and 50 °C, under which the reaction rate, substrate conversion, and 3'-regioselectivity were 63.9 mM/h, >99.0%, and 99%, respectively. Additionally, the enzyme recognition of the chain length of the acyl donors was investigated. The results showed that 3'-regioselectivity of the enzyme maintained 99% with the increment of acyl chain length (C6, C10, and C14). The reason might derive from the strong hydrophobic interaction between 5-CF(3) group of the base moiety and Leu 287 located in the medium-sized pocket of the active site.

Nano-Fe3O4–Supported,Hydrogensulfate Ionic Liquid–Catalyzed,One-Pot Synthesis of Polysubstituted Pyridines

Abstract

Anchoring 1-methyl-3-(triethoxysilylpropyl) imidazolium chloride onto silica-coated magnetic Fe₃O₄ particles afforded the corresponding supported ionic liquid. Exchanging the Cl^? anion by treating with H₂SO₄ gave Brønsted ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-(triethoxysilylpropyl) imidazolium hydrogensulfate. The synthesized catalyst was characterized by various techniques such as infrared, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, and elemental analyses. The results indicated that the prepared catalyst had a nanostructure. The catalytic activity of the supported ionic liquid was examined in the synthesis of the polysubstituted pyridines by reaction of aromatic aldehydes with acetophenones and ammonium acetate in moderate to good yields under solvent-free conditions. The catalyst can be easily recovered by applying an external magnetic field and reused for at least seven runs without deterioration in catalytic activity.     

Efficient Synthesis of Fully Substituted and Diversely Functionalized Pyrazoles through p-TSA Catalyzed One-Pot Condensation of Cyclic β-Diketones,Arylglyoxals and Arylhydrazones

A one-pot, three-component, and atom economic synthesis of biologically and pharmaceutically important fully substituted and functionalized pyrazole derivatives has been accomplished under metal-catalyst-free benign conditions. The strategy involves early condensation of readily available cyclic β-diketones (dimidone, 4-hydroxycoumarin and 2-hydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone) and arylglyoxals to generate a chalcone type intermediate which upon acid catalyzed condensation with ambident nucleophile arylhydrazones produces various aryl and cyclic β-diketone substituted pyrazole derivatives. The synthesis embraces high functional group tolerance, broad substrate scope, excellent yield of the products, short reaction time and operationally simple and mild reaction conditions. The synthesis provides an easy opportunity of incorporating biologically important N-diarylsulfide/selenide functionality, various enolisable cyclic β-diketones and other bioactive heterocycles concurrently to pyrazole, which may help in designing and development of pyrazole derivatives of pharmacological significance.
