Indium(III) Chloride-Promoted Rearrangement of Epoxides: A Selective Synthesis of Substituted Benzylic Aldehydes and Ketones
摘要:
A simple and efficient procedure for the rearrangement of substituted epoxides catalyzed by InCl3 has been developed. Aryl-substituted epoxides isomerize with complete regioselectivity to form a single carbonyl compound via cleavage of the benzylic C-O bond. The reactions are simple, fast, and high yielding. This procedure is very mild compared to those catalyzed with BF3 and other Lewis acids and compatible with several acid-sensitive functionalities. This protocol provides a highly selective synthesis of substituted benzylic aldehydes and ketones. However, rearrangement of alkyl-substituted epoxides is not very selective.

(EN) This invention relates to a method for the production of a substantially optically pure taxane side chain comprising the steps of synthesizing a racemic mixture of enantiomers of the taxane side chain that is capable of exhibiting conglomerate behavior and resolving the substantially optically pure enantiomers by direct crystallization methods. This invention also relates to the semisynthesis of taxanes such as taxol through coupling the substantially optically pure taxane side chain to a taxane ring nucleus.(FR) Cette invention concerne un procédé de production d'une chaîne latérale de taxane sensiblement optiquement pure comprenant les étapes de synthèse d'un mélange racémique d'énantiomères de la chaîne latérale de taxane qui est capable de se comporter comme un conglomérat et de dissoudre les énantiomères sensiblement optiquement purs par des procédés de cristallisation directe. Cette invention concerne également la semi-synthèse de taxanes tels que le taxol par couplage de la chaîne latérale de taxane sensiblement pure à un noyau du cycle de taxane.
