Assessment of the regioselectivity in the condensation reaction of unsymmetrical o-phthaldialdehydes with alanine

One approach for the synthesis of isoindolinones, a privileged bioactive heterocyclic core structure, involves a condensation reaction of o-phthaldialdehydes with a suitable nitrogen-containing nucleophile. This fascinating reaction is revisited here in the context of the use of o-phthaldialdehydes that contain additional substituents in the aromatic ring leading to a detailed analysis of the regioselectivity of the reaction. Eleven monosubstituted o-phthaldialdehydes were synthesised and reacted with alanine. The regioselectivity observed across the eleven substrates led to the design of a disubstituted substrate that reacted with very high control. A gram-scale reaction followed by esterification gave one major regioisomer in high yield. In addition, the regioselectivity observed on reaction of two novel monodeuterated substrates led to an increased mechanistic understanding.     

Synthesis of epigallocatechin trimer, (epigallocatechin)2-epicatechin,and (epigallocatechin)2-catechin via a Lewis acid mediated one-pot condensation and their antitumor activities in prostate cancer cells

Syntheses of epigallocatechin trimer, (epigallocatechin)₂-epicatechin and (epigallocatechin)₂-catechin were achieved. The key condensation to form the proanthocyanidin trimer derivatives was accomplished in a one-pot procedure using a dimeric epigallocatechin electrophile, which was prepared in situ by self-condensation of an epigallocatechin derivative, and an epigallocatechin, epicatechin, or catechin derivative as the nucleophile in the presence of a Lewis acid. The epigallocatechin monomer to trimer compounds containing a pyrogallol group significantly suppressed cell proliferation in PC-3 prostate cancer cells.

Incorporation of pyrimidine fluorophores into poly(methylmethacrylate) polymer structures

Three polymethyl methacrylate based copolymers bearing arylvinylpyrimidine chromophores have been synthesized in four steps. Spectral properties of the copolymers have been studied in solution, powder and thin films and compared with the corresponding free chromophores. The copolymers exhibit strong emission solvatochromism and act as polarity sensors. They also exhibit halochromism: when adding acid, a bathochromic shift is observed in absorption whereas a red-shifted fluorescence is observed with increased intensity for the methoxy-substituted macromolecule.     

5-单取代丙二酸亚异丙酯的简便合成法

5-单烃基取代的丙二酸亚异丙酯是重要的有机合成中间体^[1],由于它的活性亚甲基具有较强的酸性(pK_a=4.75),用卤代烃直接烃化时,往往生成5,5-双取代产物^[2,3],所以一般用间接方法合成5-单取代丙二酸亚异丙酯^[4～6],其中以丙二酸亚异丙酯与羰基化合物缩合成亚烃基丙二酸亚异丙酯,继而还原的两步法最为普遍,常用的还原方法和还原剂有催化氢化、氢化铝锂,硼氢化钠等^[6]。
