A novel Barton decarboxylation produces a 1,4-phenyl radical rearrangement domino reaction

A novel 1,4-Phenyl radical rearrangement (1,4-PhRR) is described in a typical Barton decarboxylation procedure. While carrying out this reaction in presence of a N,N-disubstituted β-amino acid derivative, the decarboxyphenyl rearranged derivative is obtained, as well as in presence of β-N,N-acylamide. On the other hand, secondary amines give the β-lactam derivative without rearrangement, as well as N-Fmoc derivatives give the normal decarboxylation reaction. In regards of amines which are far away from the carboxylic group, such as δ-amino acid derivatives, the reaction occur through a typical Barton decarboxylation without rearrangement. The diversity of the reaction proves synthetic usefulness paving the way to interesting biologically active compounds.     

Vitamin D: a concise synthesis of the C19 hydroxylated enyne A-ring, an interesting precursor for the preparation of C19 substituted vitamin D analogues

A new C₁₉ hydroxylated enyne 15, as potential A-ring building block of vitamin D analogues, was synthesized in enantiomerically pure form in nine steps from (−)-(S)-limonene. This short synthesis involved ozonolyzis of 1,2-limonene oxide followed by a Criegee rearrangement, epoxide trans diaxial ring opening by lithium acetylide, elimination, epoxidation and syn β-elimination of the resulting homopropargylic oxirane.

Synthesis of chiral alkenyl epoxides: the sex pheromone of the elm spanworm Ennomus subsignaria (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae)

The identification of the sex pheromone of the elm spanworm Ennomos subsignaria (Hübner), as the chiral alkenyl epoxide (6Z)-cis-9,10-epoxy-nonadecene has been accomplished. Both enantiomers of (6Z)-cis-9,10-epoxy-nonadecene have been synthesized via two routes. The key steps in the first route were to prepare both threo-epoxy tosylates and then to perform an alkylative rearrangement of these intermediates to obtain the target molecules. An alternative enantioenriched synthesis that took advantage of the Sharpless dihydroxylation reaction was developed so that a common starting material could be used to access both enantiomers. A field study and GC/EAD testing indicated that Z6-cis-9S,10R-epoxy-nonadecene was the sex pheromone of the elm spanworm E. subsignaria (Hübner).     

A rapid and simple method for the isolation of mutant variants regulating tissue-specific expression of the tni gene through drug selection

TnINEO fusion gene was constructed by fusing 3.4-kbp of quailTnI genomic DNA sequences spanning the promoter to exon 5 and aneo gene in frame. A myoblast cell line was established after transfection of pTnINEO. Since this cell line was passaged several times, a high frequency of neomycin (G418) sensitivity conversion was detected. Two drug-resistant variants were analyzed through genomic Southern blot and S1 nuclease protection assay. One variant has a mutation(s) in the regulatory element that activated the dormantTnI promoter-enhancer in myoblast, and the other has shown the genomic rearrangement. This result presented the possibility of isolating factor(s) that activate the muscle-specificTnI promoter simply by screening drug-resistant cells having appropriate mutations.

Synthesis and reactions of 2-deoxy-β-D-ribofuranosyl derivatives of 3-aryl-4H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidin-4-imines

Summary 3-Aryl-7-(2-deoxy--D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-3,7-dihydro-4H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidin-4-imines (4) as well as 4-arylamino-7-(2-deoxy--D-erythro-pentofuranosyl)-2-methyl-5-phenyl-7H-pyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidines (7) have been synthesized by glycosylation of the sodium salt of the corresponding nucleobases with 2-deoxy-3,5-di-O-p-toluyl--D-erythro-pentofuranosyl chloride (2) followed by subsequent deprotection with sodium methoxide in methanol. The deprotected nucleoside4 undergoes aDimroth rearrangement on reflux for 24 h in water to furnish the 4-arylamino nucleoside7.

Mechanistic insights into the rearrangement of azetidine N-oxides to isoxazolidines

Various functionalized azetidines were oxidized with mCPBA or hydrogen peroxide, to produce the corresponding N-oxide and study its fate in the [1,2] Meisenheimer rearrangement. This ring expansion leading to isoxazolidines occurs readily, without trapping of the transient N-oxide. Starting with azetidines bearing a nitrile or an ester group at C-2, the rearrangement is regioselective. However, a varying amount of epimerization on the migrating radical is observed, which can also be observed with the related [1,2] Stevens rearrangement.
