Synthesis of Pseudomonas quorum-sensing autoinducer analogs and structural entities required for induction of apoptosis in macrophages
摘要:
The synthesis of the analogs of N-3-oxododecanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (1) and their structure-activity relationship for the apoptotic induction in macrophages, P388D1 cells, are described. It was revealed that the position of the oxo group in the acyl side chain in addition to the presence of the L-homoserine lactone unit is crucial for the apoptosis-inducing activity. Furthermore, the long acyl side chains with hydrophobic distal ends are preferable for the activity. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Practical and Robust Method for Regio- and Stereoselective Preparation of (<i>E</i>)-Ketene <i>tert</i>-Butyl TMS Acetals and β-Ketoester-derived <i>tert</i>-Butyl (1<i>Z</i>,3<i>E</i>)-1,3-Bis(TMS)dienol Ethers
We developed an efficient, practical, robust method for the regio- and stereoselective preparation of (E)-ketene trimethylsilyl acetals (KSAs) derived from tert-butyl esters 1. The reaction was performed under convenient reaction conditions; LDA−TMSCl, 0−5 °C, and cyclopentyl methyl ether (CPME) solvent. Two kinds of (Z)- and (E)-KSAs derived from α-oxygen and α-nitrogen-substituted tert-butyl esters

An efficient catalyticasymmetric [4 + 1] reaction, which features the use of simple β-keto esters as one-carbon nucleophiles and 5-succinimidothio-pent-2-enoates as four-atom bielectrophiles, has been developed in the presence of a bifunctional chiral phase-transfer catalyst. The new annulation provides a distinct protocol to access the functionalized 2-acyl-2-carboxyl tetrahydrothiophenes bearing
A simple and straightforward assembly of the yohimban skeleton was achieved by condensation of an acyclic β-keto ester with tryptamine, followed by consecutive cross metathesis and tandem cyclization reactions, leading to the formation of three new rings. The whole process was readily carried out in the one-flask providing a rapid entry to the pentacyclic scaffold of yohimbine alkaloids.

Intramolecular photoaddition of alkenes to chiral 1,3-dioxin -4-ones 5 present, for the first time, examples with high facial selectivity in which the addition proceeds preferentially from the less exposed side (b-side) under kinetic control conditions. This unprecedented facial selectivity cannot be explained only on the basis of steric effects; however, it is consistent with the direction of pyramidalizaton in structure 3. It can be concluded that the geometry of the pyramidalized C-beta in the triplet excited dioxinones plays an important role in defining the facial selectivity in this reaction. However, steric effect cannot be neglected in rationalizing the facial selectivity as found by comparing the facial selectivity obtained in the irradiation of the studied compounds.
A Tetramethoxybenzophenone as Efficient Triplet Photocatalyst for the Transformation of Diazo Compounds
The aromatic ketone 2,2',4,4'-tetramethoxybenzophenone has a strong absorption band between 300 and 375 nm, and its pi,pi* triplet excited-state is selectively populated in methanol. Both facts make this aromatic ketone a versatile and efficient triplet photocatalyst for the transformation of alpha-diazo carbonyl compounds into mainly the cyclopropanation product.
