A short synthesis of (±)-tecomanine via a Pauson-Khand-based route

The N-carboethoxy precursor to (±)-tecomanine has been prepared in 11 steps from 2-methyl-1-buten-3-yne. The key step, Pauson-Khand cyclization of a methylated 5-aza-6-nonen-1-yne succeeds, but only in low yield, a consequence of the dialkyl substitution about the azaenyne framework. Nevertheless, the overall sequence to that point is one of the more efficient to be described.     

The first total synthesis of (±)-annosqualine by means of oxidative enamide-phenol coupling: pronounced effect of phenoxide formation on the phenol oxidation mechanism

The first total synthesis of a spiro-isoquinoline alkaloid, (±)-annosqualine, was established by employing an enamide-phenol coupling of a 1-methylene-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivative with a hypervalent iodine reagent, where the formation of the phenoxide was recognized to be an essential step for the reaction of the phenolic hydroxyl group with the hypervalent iodine reagent leading to the formation of the desired product.

THE FORMATION AND CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF DIHYDRONITIDINE AND DISCUSSION OF ANTICANCER MECHANISM OF NITIDINE CATION

The paper reports the formation and crystal structure of dihydronitidine, expounds thereasons and conditions of easily formed oxynitidine, and discusses anticancer mechanism ofnitidine (cation). The crystallographic parameters of dihydronitidine are: space group P2_(1/n),a= 12.54(1), b = 9. 148(5), c = 14.748(8)A, β= 92. 12(6)°,Z =4. 4108 independent reflec-tions were collected within the range of 3°≤2θ≤54°, of which 2137 intensity data with I≥3σ(I) were used in the structural determination. The crystal structure has been refined byfull matrix least-square method to a final R of 0.050.     

Kottamide E, the first example of a natural product bearing the amino acid 4-amino-1,2-dithiolane-4-carboxylic acid (Adt)

Kottamide E, a novel alkaloid containing dibrominated indole enamide, oxalic acid diamide and 4-amino-1,2-dithiolane-4-carboxamide moieties, has been isolated from the New Zealand ascidian Pycnoclavella kottae. Characterisation was achieved by interpretation of spectroscopic data.

Advantages of the Ns group in the reactions of N-SO2R inosines with benzylamine and with NH3

The reactivity of N¹-alkylsulfonyl- and N¹-arylsulfonyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetylinosine with benzylamine and with ¹⁵NH₃, regarding the attack on C2, has been shown to be in the order CF₃SO₂ (Tf) > 2,4-(NO₂)₂C₆H₃SO₂ (DNs) ? 4-NO₂C₆H₄SO₂ (pNs) ≈ C₆F₅SO₂ (PFBs) > 2-NO₂C₆H₄SO₂ (Ns) ? CH₃SO₂ (Ms) > 4-CH₃C₆H₄SO₂ (Ts) > 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂SO₂ (Mts). In spite of its intermediate reactivity, the Ns group is the most appropriate, since in this case the formation of by-products is minimised during the ring-opening and ring-closing steps of the process. Another advantage of the Ns group is thus disclosed.     

An Efficient Synthesis of 8-Amino-9-Benzylguanine

The reaction of 2,5-diamino-4-benzylamino-pyrimidin-6(III)-one (6) with benzoyl isothiocyanate furnished 2-amino-4-benzylamino-5-[1-(3-benzoylthioureido)]-pyrimidin-6(1H)-one (7) in good yield. The title compound I was synthesized from compound 7 via a cyclodesulfurative reaction with DCC in DMF at 80°C directly to form 8-benzoylamino-9-benzylguanine (9) which was subsequently treated with 1 N sodium hydroxide.
