A new approach to the synthesis of 3,6- and 5,6-dialkyl derivatives of 4-hydroxy-2-pyrone. Synthesis of rac-germicidin
摘要:
A new approach to the synthesis of 3,6- and 5,6-dialkyl-4-hydroxy-2-pyrones has been developed. The method includes the formation of acylated Meldrum's acids (5-(2-alkyl-3-oxoacyl)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diones) followed by their thermal transformation. Introduction of 3-alkyl substituents was accomplished by acylation of 4-hydroxy-2-pyrones and ionic hydrogenation of the 3-acyl derivatives obtained. The effectiveness of this new approach has been demonstrated in the synthesis of rac-germicidin, an autoregulative germination inhibitor of Streptomyces viridochromogenes NRRL B-1551.

Electrophilic Iron Catalyst Paired with a Lithium Cation Enables Selective Functionalization of Non‐Activated Aliphatic C−H Bonds via Metallocarbene Intermediates
Combining an electrophilic iron complex [Fe(F pda)(THF)]2 (3) [F pda=N,N'-bis(pentafluorophenyl)-o-phenylenediamide] with the pre-activation of α-alkyl-substituted α-diazoesters reagents by LiAl(ORF )4 [ORF =(OC(CF3 )3 ] provides unprecedented access to selective iron-catalyzed intramolecular functionalization of strong alkyl C(sp3 )-H bonds. Reactions occur at 25 °C via α-alkyl-metallocarbene intermediates
The present invention is directed to a method for purifying pyruvic acid compounds, which method comprises reacting a pyruvic acid compound of general formula (I):
wherein R1 is an optionally substituted lower alkyl group, a lower alkenyl group, a lower alkynyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, or a heterocyclic group, and R2 is a lower alkyl group, with a bisulfite of general formula (II):

A study on the mechanism and scope of the radical-mediated oxidation of arylacetoacetates
Arylacetoacetate 1a undergoes an oxidative degradation in the presence of K(t)BuO, THF, catalytic I-2 and O-2, to give keto ester 4 as major compound. Hydrolysis and decarboxylation of this intermediate led to the corresponding arylcarboxylic acid 3a in satisfactory overall yields. By experiments conducted in the presence of O-18(2), incorporation of atmosphere oxygen into the benzylic position of 4 was evidenced. Furthermore, spin-trap experiments showed that benzyl radical 7 was generated in the reaction medium, which supports its role as intermediate in the pathway leading to the observed oxidation products. A plausible mechanism for this process is presented. On the other hand, appropriate conditions for achieving the alkylation of these arylacetoacetates with no concomitant formation of oxidation side-products are reported. Finally, arylacetates suffer also this degradative oxidation process leading to the corresponding arylcarboxylic acids without isolation of the intermediate keto ester derivative.

Various substituted 2-pyrones have been hydrogenated with high enantioselectivity (up to 97% ee) to the corresponding 5,6-dihydropyrones using cationic ruthenium catalysts containing the (6,6'-dimethoxybiphenyl-2,2'diyl)bis[3,5-di(tert-butyl)phenylphosphine] ligand. When substituents at position 3 are absent, 5,6-dihydropyrones are further hydrogenated to the fully saturated delta-lactones. In the case of 4,6-dimethyl-2H-pyran-2-one, the diastereoselectivity of the second hydrogenation step was determined by the chirality of the applied catalyst, while for the 4,5,6-trimethyl-2H-pyran-2-one a double asymmetric induction effect was observed. Other cyclic substrates with endo- or exocyclic double bonds were hydrogenated, although with substantially lower enantioselectivity with respect to the 2-pyrones.

Using ibotenic acid (2) as a lead, two series of 3-isoxazolol amino acid ligands for (S)-glutamic acid (Glu, 1) receptors have been developed. Whereas analogues of (RS)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy5-methyl-4-isoxazolyl)propionic acid [AMPA, (RS)-3] interact selectively with ionotropic Glu receptors (iGluRs), the few analogues of (RS)-2-amino-3-(3-hydroxy-5-isoxazolyl)propionic acid [HIBO, (RS)-4] so far known typically interact with iGluRs as well as metabotropic Glu receptors (mGluRs). We here report the synthesis and pharmacology of a series of 4-substituted analogues of HIBO. The hexyl analogue 9 was shown to be an antagonist at group I mGluRs. The effects of 9 were shown to reside exclusively in (S)-9 (K-b = 30 muM at mGlu(1) and K-b = 61 muM at mGlu(5)). The lower homologue of 9, compound 8, showed comparable effects at mGluRs, but 8 also was a weak agonist at the AMPA subtype of iGluRs. Like 9, the higher homologue, compound 10, did not interact with iGluRs, but 10 selectively antagonized mGlu(1) (K-b = 160 muM) showing very weak antagonist effect at mGlu(5) (K-b = 990 muM). The phenyl analogue 11 turned out to be an AMPA agonist and an antagonist at mGlu(1) and mGlu(5), and these effects were shown to originate in (S)-11 (EC50 = 395 muM, K-b = 86 and 90 muM, respectively). Compound 9, administered icy, but not sc, was shown to protect mice against convulsions induced by N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA). Compounds 9 and 11 were resolved using chiral HPLC, and the configurational assignments of the enantiomers were based on X-ray crystallographic analyses.
