Omriolide A and B; two new rearranged spongian diterpenes from the marine sponge Dictyodendrilla aff. retiara

Two new rearranged spongian diterpenes designated omriolide A and B were isolated from the southern Kenyan sponge Dictyodendrilla aff. retiara collected at Wasini Is., Shimoni Channel. Omriolide A possesses an octalin linked to a unique trioxatricyclo[5.2.1.0^4,10]decane ring system, forming a tricyclic ‘cap’. Omriolide B comprised a tricyclo[5.4.0.0^2,4]undecane linked to a dioxabicyclo[3.3.0]octane. The structures of both diterpenes were elucidated by interpretation of MS results and, mainly, 1D and 2D NMR spectra.

Composite Correlated Molecular Orbital Theory Calculations of Ring Strain for Use in Predicting Polymerization Reactions

Strained ring systems play an important role in synthesis and can be characterized by the ring strain energy (RSE). The RSE of 3, 4, 5, and 6 membered saturated and unsaturated ring systems containing N, O, P, and S heteroatoms and H, F, SiMe₃, and SO₂Me substituents were calculated at the G3(MP2) composite correlated molecular orbital theory level using up to 5 models to predict the RSE. Generally, the RSE decreased as ring size increased with a substantial decrease from 4 to 5 membered rings. Replacement of a ring CH₂ with P or S reduced the RSE, consistent with less angle strain. The RSE for unsaturated systems were generally greater than for saturated systems due to increased angle strain. No general trends were found with respect to substituent effects. The RSE values suggest that 3-pyrroline and 2-pyrroline and their derivatives may be able to support ring opening metathesis polymerization and warrant further study.     

Aromatic stability energy studies on five-membered heterocyclic C4H4M (M = O, S, Se, Te, NH, PH, AsH and SbH): DFT calculations

Energetic, geometric and magnetic criteria were applied to examine the stability and/or aromatic character for the cyclic molecules C ₄ H ₄ M (M = O, S, Se, Te, NH, PH, AsH and SbH) at B3LYP/6-311++G^** and MP2/6-311++G^** levels of theory. The isodesmic reactions and nuclear independent chemical shifts (NICS) calculations were utilized to examine the molecules for energetic and magnetic criteria, respectively. The isodesmic reaction energies reveal that thiophene (C ₄ H ₄ S, ?23.269 kcal/mol) and pyrrole (C ₄ H ₄ NH, ?20.804 kcal/mol) have the greatest aromatic stabilization energies and tellurophene (C ₄ H ₄ Te, ?15.114 kcal/mol) and stibole (C ₄ H ₄ SbH, ?1.169 kcal/mol) have the lowest aromatic stabilization energies in their corresponding groups at MP2/6-311++G^**. The NICS calculations confirmed the results obtained through isodesmic reaction energies.

Visible Light-Induced Synthesis of 2-Oxazolidinones through One-Pot Coupling of Benzylamines,Epoxides and CO2

The synthesis of 2-oxazolidinones from a three component coupling reaction of amines, epoxides, and CO₂. The reaction proceeds in the presence of 1,1,3,3-tetramethylguanidine under visible light irradiation at atmospheric pressure. The optimized structures of all species involved in the reaction mechanism along with transition states have been described based on the DFT calculations. The developed methodology represents a promising approach of employing CO₂ as a naturally abundant and non-toxic carbon resource to produce profitable chemicals.     

Iodine-Mediated One-Pot Synthesis of 1,4,5-Substituted Pyrazoles from MBH Acetates via Allyl Hydrazone Intermediate

Herein, we report the regioselective one-pot synthesis of 1,4,5-trisubstituted pyrazoles by reacting Morita-Baylis-Hillman (MBH) acetates derived from aryl aldehydes with alkyl or aryl hydrazines in the presence of iodine under aerobic conditions. The reaction proceeds through sequential S_N2′ nucleophilic substitution of substituted hydrazine onto the MBH acetate, I₂-catalyzed oxidation of the allylic hydrazine to allylic hydrazone, heating-induced intramolecular aza-Michael reaction and cyclization, and oxidative aromatization. The key intermediate, the s-trans allyl hydrazones were isolated in good yields by performing the reactions at room temperature. However, the allyl hydrazones prepared from the MBH acetates of aliphatic aldehydes did not furnish the pyrazole owing to the absence of an activated methylene group in the substrate. The synthetic applications of the pyrazoles in Ugi reactions, decarboxylative halogenation, Pd-catalyzed benzoylation of the N-aryl ring, and metal-free tetrazole synthesis has been demonstrated.     

Synthesis of a novel functionalized tricyclic pyrimidine-fused 1,5-benzodiazepine library

A series of novel tricyclic pyrimidine-fused 1,5-benzodiazepines (PFBZDs) was synthesized using an enaminone-based approach. The key step in the synthetic strategy involves the formation of the CCNMe₂ structure on vicinal carbonyl groups of the 1H-1,5-benzodiazepine-2,4(3H,5H)-dione (BZD). The synthesis of pyrimidine-fused 1,5-benzodiazepines was performed by a simple and efficient method in good to excellent yields under mild and green conditions. The β-enaminoamide intermediates were condensed with thiourea and guanidine derivatives to form the corresponding tricyclic PFBZDs. But reaction of aminoguanidine, thiosemicarbazide, 4-phenylthiosemicarbazide and ethane-1,2-diamine with β-enaminoamides didn't produce any desired product and led to recovery of the corresponding starting BZD.     

Iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction using terminal alkyne as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines and fused-nitrogen heterocycles

An efficient iodine-mediated oxidative Pictet-Spengler reaction in dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO) using terminal alkynes as the 2-oxoaldehyde surrogate for the synthesis of aryl (9H-pyrido[3,4-b]indol-1-yl)methanones is described. The scope of the protocol includes the total synthesis of Fascaplysin, Eudistomins Y₁ and Y₂. The methodology is extended for preparing pyrrolo[1,2-a]-quinoxaline and indolo[1,5-a]quinoxaline derivatives. The utility of 1-aroyl-β-carbolines was demonstrated by performing palladium-catalyzed β-carboline directed ortho-C(sp2)-H functionalization of the phenyl ring with thiomethyl (SMe) group using DMSO as source and for accessing 4-aryl-canthin-6-ones.
