Self-Protection: The Advantage of Radical Oligomeric Mixtures in Organic Synthesis
摘要:
Atom-transfer radical oligomers of allyl iodoacetates were converted to 4-pentenoic acids upon treatment with zinc. Reactions of the radical oligomers of various omega-alkenyl iodoacetates with Grignard reagents afforded the corresponding substituted tetrahydrofuran derivatives. These results indicated that radical oligomeric mixtures not only serve as versatile intermediates in organic synthesis, but also exhibit unique advantages in that the oligomeric mixtures are self-protected and the deoligomerization functions as the simultaneous deprotection.
Synthesis, Biological Evaluation, and Docking Studies of Tetrahydrofuran- Cyclopentanone- and Cyclopentanol-Based Ligands Acting at Adrenergic α1- and Serotonine 5-HT1A Receptors
摘要:
A series of aralkylphenoxyethylamine and aralkylmethoxyphenylpiperazine compounds was synthesized and their in vitro pharmacological profile at both 5-HT1A receptors and alpha(1)-adrenoceptor subtypes was measured by binding assay and functional studies. The results showed that the replacement of the 1,3-dioxolane ring by a tetrahydrofuran, cyclopentanone, or cyclopentanol moiety leads to an overall reduction of in vitro affinity at the alpha(1)-adrenoceptor while both potency and efficacy were increased at the 5-HT1A receptor. A significant improvement of 5-HT1A/alpha 1 selectivity was observed in some of the cyclopentanol derivatives synthesized (4a cis, 4c cis and trans). Compounds 2a and 4c cis emerged as novel and interesting 5-HT1A receptor antagonist (pK(i) = 8.70) and a 5-HT1A receptor partial agonist (pK(i) = 9.25, pD(2) = 9.03, E-max = 47%, 5-HT1A/alpha 1a = 69), respectively. Docking studies were performed at support of the biological data and to elucidate the molecular basis for 5-HT1A agonism/antagonism activity.
Treatment of various organic halides with phosphinic acid (hypophosphorous acid) in aqueous ethanol in the presence of a radical initiator and a base gave the corresponding reduced products in high yields. Addition of a base is indispensable for the reduction of halides by phosphinic acid. Allylic ether of o-iodophenol or 2-haloalkanal allylic acetal underwent radical cyclization under the same conditions
Radical Addition of 2-Iodoalkanamide or 2-Iodoalkanoic Acid to Alkenes with a Water-Soluble Radical Initiator in Aqueous Media: Facile Synthesis of<i>γ</i>-Lactones
Radical reactions in water or aqueous ethanol using a water-soluble radical initiator are described. Heating a mixture of 2-iodoacetamide and 5-hexen-1-ol in water at 75 °C in the presence of a water-soluble radical initiator, 4,4′-azobis(4-cyanopentanoic acid), afforded 5-(4-hydroxybutyl)dihydrofuran-2(3H)-one in 95% yield. The use of 2-iodoacetic acid in place of 2-iodoacetamide also gave the same γ-lactone in 93% yield. The reaction of 2-iodoacetamide with 1-octene in aqueous ethanol was initiated by 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropanamidine) dihydrochloride to provide γ-decanolactone. Employing water as a solvent is crucial to obtain lactone in satisfactory yield.

alkylation of γ-C(sp(3))-H bonds of picolinamide-protected aliphatic amine substrates with primary alkyl iodides via palladium catalysis. Ag(2)CO(3) and dibenzyl phosphate, (BnO)(2)PO(2)H, are critical promoters of this reaction. These reactions provide a convenient and straightforward method for the preparation of high-value N-containing products from readily available amine and alkyl iodide precursors
