Selective nitrogen protection of hydroxyalkylbenzimidazoles using 2,2,2-trichloroethylchloroformate

A method for selective N-protection of hydroxyalkylbenzimidazoles using 2,2,2-trichloroethylchloroformate (Troc-Cl) applicable to various alkyl chain lengths has been developed. In the specific case of 5-(1-[2,2,2-trichloroethyl formyl]-benzimidazol-2-yl)-propan-1-ol, migration of Troc from the benzimidazole to the primary alcohol occurs in the presence of triethylamine, allowing the choice of selective N-Troc or O-Troc protection.     

Intramolecular,Stoichiometric (Li,Mg, Zn) and Catalytic (Ni,Pd, Pt) Metallo-Ene Reactions in Organic Synthesis [New Synthetic Methods (75)]

Metallo-ene reactions, hardly recognized until very recently, have experienced a breathtaking development when applied in an intramolecular sense. Efficient regio- and stereoselective magnesium-ene cyclizations have served as a cornerstone for numerous syntheses of structurally diverse natural products (e.g., sesquiterpenes of marine or plant origin, alkaloids, fragrances, insect defense compounds, and a fungitoxin). A brilliant example is the synthesis of the elusive odorant (+)-khusimone which outshines 20 years of work in the field of tricyclovetivane synthesis. Palladium-, platinum-, and nickel-catalyzed versions of the metallo-ene reaction are in a comparatively early stage of exploration, but, nevertheless, reveal intriguing potential. Hence an almost 100% stereospecific C? O→C? ;Pd-→ C? C chirality transfer permits simple and selective, cis- or trans-annelation processes. The mild cyclization conditions are compatible with various functional groups, such as nitrogen moieties, which offer interesting perspectives for the preparation of heterocycles (e.g., alkaloids) difficult to obtain by other methods. Carbon monoxide insertion reactions of the cyclized σ-metal intermediates were shown to afford annelated cyclopentanones and cyclopentenones with concomitant stereocontrolled formation of four carbon–carbon bonds. These and other observations, highlighted in this article, provide a platform for further extensions and applications of this powerful method in organic synthesis.     

Microwave-assisted, solvent-free synthesis of 1-(α- or β-hydroxynaphthyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines by the Mannich reaction

As a new extension of the Mannich reaction of naphthols, 1-(hydroxynaphthyl)-substituted 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines were synthesized by the nucleophilic addition of 1- or 2-naphthol to 3,4-dihydroisoquinolines under solvent-free conditions, using microwave irradiation. The additions to 3-methyl-6,7-dimethoxy-3,4-dihydroisoquinoline proved to be a highly diastereoselective processes, resulting in the cis isomers as the main or the only products.     

Radical trifluoromethylation of ammonium enolates

The easy radical trifluoromethylation of a series of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with CF₃I is described. The reaction occurs in the presence of a nitrogen base and sodium dithionite in CH₃CN-H₂O solution. Additionally, we report a new access to ammonium triflinates.     

Interaction of (1-phenylethyl)indole-2-carbonitrile with C-nucleophiles

Methods of obtaining ketones and enamino esters have been developed on the basis of reactions of 1-(1-phenylethyl)indole-2-carbonitrile with organomagnesium and organozinc compounds. Removal of a benzyl group from the indole nitrogen atom by the Grignard reagent has been discovered. __________ Translated from Khimiya Geterotsiklicheskikh Soedinenii, No. 8, pp. 1179–1183, August, 2006.

Use of non-segmented flow,post-columns reaction detection with miniaturized HPLC systems

Summary The use of non-segmented flow, post-column reaction detection is evaluated for use with miniaturized HPLC. Non-segmented open-tubular reactors with internal diameters 0.1 mm to 0.25 mm and packed-bed reactors with internal diameters of 1 mm, filled with 5 and 10 m particles are evaluated theoretically and experimentally with respect to band broadening and pressure drop characteristics. An integrated system consisting of miniaturized HPLC (1 mm i. d.) columns and compatible hardware is described. An example of the separation of catecholamines is given.     

硫胺的燐光研究

硫胺无燐光，在碱中氧化后才产生燐光。 λ激发＝３００ｎｍ，λ发射＝４１０ ｎｍ，燐光寿命为１．３ｓ．硫胺燐光受溶剂极性影响甚小，１５种金属离子中只有铜离子可增强流胺燐光，寿命变短为 ０． ９４ ｓ，但不影响燐光光谱。在开始３０ｍｉｎ内有ＣｕＳＯ４的作用较快，以后逐渐变慢，到 ４ｈ后达平衡与不用ＣｕＳＯ４的燐光相近，启示ＣｕＳＯ４具有催化硫胺的氧化作用，建立了硫胺的燐光分析方法，用于两种维生素Ｂ１片的分析，分别为９８．５％与９８％。

Notiz zur Darstellung von 4-Hydroxy-6-methyl-5,6-dihydro-2H-pyran-2-on

Meldrum's acid (2) is acylated by diketen affording the acylMeldrum's acid3. In aqueous bicarbonate its 3-oxogroup is selectively reduced by sodium tetrahydroborate giving the alcohol4, which readily undergoes cyclization in refluxing dioxane leading to the title pyrone7. Under identical conditions3 produces the pyrone6 with the pyrone carboxylic acid5 as intermediate.
