One-pot enyne ring-closing metathesis–Diels–Alder reactions for the synthesis of polycyclic sulfamides

Ring-closing metathesis (RCM) and sequential Yb(OTf)₃ promoted Diels–Alder reactions of sulfamide-linked enynes proceeded selectively in one-pot to afford a series of bicyclic and tricyclic sulfamides. Excellent levels of diastereoselectivity are observed for the cycloaddition step, with only the endo-adducts being isolated. The protocol was further extended to incorporate a one-pot RCM–cross metathesis (CM)–Diels–Alder sequence, permitting rapid access to high levels of molecular complexity from simple and easily accessible precursors.     

A 270 MHz 1H-NMR study of three “branched” ribonucleotides A2'p5'U3'p5'g,A2'p5'C3'p5'G and A2'p5'G3'p5'G the importance of being branched with a 2'→5' phosphodiester bond in the pre-mRNA processing reactions (splicing)

Conformational studies with three analogues 3, 4 and 5 of naturally-occurring branched ribonucleotides 1 and 2 have shown that they adopt a secondary structure which is overwhelmingly controlled by a stacking between adenine(2' → 5')nuc1eobase residues while the 3' → 5' linked guanine residue is apart. This observation along with the fact that all four nucleosides can form lariats in nuclear mRNA splicing, but it is guanosine as the 2' → 5' nucleotide that can drive the splicing reaction to completion, suggests a biological significance of the additional 2' → 5' phosphodiester bond formation in the splicing reaction. It is likely that the final implication of formation of such a 2' → 5' linked lariat is that it provides a pathway to assume a free energy minimum conformation through the 2' → 5' stacking, especially in the case of guanosine, to drive the splicing reaction to completion (stacklng-driven-energy-pump).     

Stereoselective synthesis of α-methylenecyclopentenones via a Diels–Alder/retro-Diels–Alder protocol

A new procedure for the stereoselective synthesis of cross-conjugated dienones is reported. This method makes use of the Diels–Alder adduct of anthracene and dimethyl fumarate, a precursor to a spirocyclopent-2-enone anthracene adduct as the key intermediate. The addition of propyllithium or octyllithium to the key intermediate followed by a retro-Diels–Alder reaction furnished α-methylenecyclopentenones bearing a γ-propyl or γ-octyl side chain, respectively, in moderate yields and as single geometric isomers.     

Microwave-promoted efficient synthesis of spiroindenotetrahydropyridine derivatives via a catalyst- and solvent-free pseudo one-pot five-component tandem Knoevenagel/aza-Diels–Alder reaction

A microwave-assisted, one-pot pseudo five-component reaction strategy has been developed for the synthesis of some novel spiroindenotetrahydropyridine derivatives from 1,3-indanedione, an aromatic aldehyde, and ammonium acetate under catalyst- and solvent-free conditions via tandem Knoevenagel/aza-Diels–Alder reaction.     

NaHSO4–SiO2-catalyzed aza-Diels–Alder reaction of o-hydroxybenzaldimines with 2,3-dihydrofuran: Diastereoselective synthesis of furanobenzopyrans

NaHSO₄ supported on silica gel catalyzes the aza-Diels–Alder reaction of o-hydroxybenzaldimines with 2,3-dihydrofuran to provide furanobenzopyrans in reasonable yields and diastereoselectivity. The catalyst is recyclable and reusable up to two times without a significant loss of activity.     

Synthesis of 2-amino-3,6-di(het)arylpyridines from 5-cyano-3,6-di(het)aryl-1,2,4-triazines and arylhydrazines via the SNipso/aza-Diels–Alder reaction sequence

Reaction between 5-cyano-3,6-di(het)aryl-1,2,4-triazines and arylhydrazines with the following aza-Diels–Alder autoclave reaction affords hardly available 2-amino-3,6-di(het)aryl-pyridines in up to 67% yield after two steps and in 75% yield for the one-pot way. The compounds obtained can be promising for medicinal chemistry.     

One-pot synthesis of symmetrical dinucleoside polyphosphates and analogs via 4,5-dicyanoimidazole-promoted tandem P–O coupling reactions

A novel one-pot protocol for the synthesis of symmetrical dinucleoside tri-, tetra-, and pentaphosphates, and their phosphonate analogs simply from nucleoside 5′-phosphoropiperidates has been developed by utilizing 4,5-dicyanoimidazole-promoted tandem P–O coupling reactions.     

Photophysics and photochromism of Δ2,2' -BI-(2H-1,4-benzothiazine)

Δ^2,2' -bi-(2H-1,4-benzothiazine) shows striking photochromism and thermochromism. The color change is thermally and photochemically reversible. The photochromism can be ascribed to the cis-trans isomerization about the central double bond, the yellow trans isomer being more stable. The quantum yield of formation ø_CP of the cis-benzothiazine from trans in dioxan was found to be 0.035 at 355 nm excitation. Laser flash photolysis of the trans-benzothiazine revealed that the excited singlet state of π, π^* character is the originating state for the photochromism since there is no experimental evidence of a triplet intermediate.     

One-pot synthesis of a rose-like Pd–Fe3O4 nanocatalyst for Sonogashira coupling reactions

A one-pot synthesis of rose-like Pd–Fe₃O₄ nanocomposites via the controlled thermal decomposition of Fe(CO)₅ and reduction of Pd(OAc)₂ is reported. This rose-like Pd–Fe₃O₄ composite structure has a high surface area owing to the individual Pd–Fe₃O₄ nanosheets, which imparted a high catalytic activity for Sonogashira coupling reactions. Moreover, the catalyst also demonstrated magnetic recyclability.

Asymmetric synthesis of (−)-bissetone via a highly enantioselective hetero-Diels–Alder reaction

We demonstrate a new approach for the asymmetric synthesis of bissetone. The key reaction is the highly enantioselective hetero-Diels–Alder cycloaddition of triene 3 with ethyl glyoxylate catalyzed by readily available BINOL–Ti complexes. The HDA cycloadduct 4 was then transformed in five steps into O-protected bissetone (8) and its C5-epimer in good yield.     

Stereoselective synthesis of chiral hydrocarbazoles via the catalytic Diels–Alder reaction of siloxyvinylindole and cyclic Z-olefin

The catalytic Diels–Alder reaction of siloxyvinylindole and cyclic Z-olefin derived from pyroglutamic acid gave optically active substituted hydrocarbazoles. The exo/endo selectivity of this reaction could be controlled by using an appropriate Lewis acid. Scandium triflate gave high exo-selectivity and copper triflate gave moderate endo-selectivity. Subsequent stereoselective alkylation of the cycloadduct led to the synthesis of highly substituted hydrocarbazoles with five continuous chiral centers including a quaternary carbon.     

Heterocyclization reactions of 6-aryl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxin-4-ones with α-oxoketeneaminals

During thermolysis 6-aryl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxin-4-ones react with -mono and ,-dioxoketene aminals to yield 3-acetyl-6-aryl-2-benzoylamino-4-pyridones or 6-aryl-2-methylene-4-pyrimidones, respectively. A scheme of the formation of pyrido[2,3-d]pyrimidines from dioxinones and 1-amino-1-benzoylamino-1-bytene-3-one has been suggested.Translated fromIzvestiya Akademii Nauk.

Asymmetric synthesis of N-phenylethyl-2-phenyldecahydroquinolin-4-ones via Lewis acid catalyzed imino-Diels–Alder reaction

The asymmetric synthesis of N-phenylethyl-2-phenyldecahydroquinolin-4-ones was performed via a Lewis acid catalyzed imino-Diels–Alder reaction between the enantiopure (R)-N-phenylethylbenzylideneimine and the trimethylsilyl enol ether of acetylcyclohexene. The regio- and stereoselective formation of intermediary bicyclic enoxysilanes, followed by their stereoselective protonation was evidenced. The initial stereoselectivity was kept only if the reaction mixture was treated using controlled basic conditions. Three enantiopure title compounds were isolated with a 5–15% yield.     

Proline-catalyzed asymmetric Diels–Alder reactions of an o-quinodimethane

Catalytic asymmetric Diels–Alder reaction of α-amino-o-quinodimethane with α,β-unsaturated aldehydes was achieved with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities in the presence of l-proline, which acts as a promoter to generate the quinodimethane from the corresponding precursor as well as a chiral catalyst for the enantioselective Diels–Alder reaction.     

A one-pot synthesis of 4-aryl-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-γ-carbolines from 5-aryloxazolidines and indoles via a Mannich/Friedel–Crafts sequence

Benzaldehydes react smoothly with the nonstabilized azomethine ylide derived from sarcosine and formaldehyde to form 5-aryloxazolidines, which undergo ring-opening to give 2-(indol-3-ylmethylamino)-1-arylethanols in 69–79% yields on reaction with indoles in acetic acid. Their subsequent acid-catalyzed cyclization into 4-aryl-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-γ-carbolines was performed in polyphosphoric acid in moderate yields. The latter can also be prepared directly from 5-aryloxazolidines and indoles in polyphosphoric acid.
