Effective 1,4-Asymmetric C−C/C−O Stereoinduction in Indium-Promoted Coupling Reactions of Aldehydes to Protected and Unprotected [1-(Bromomethyl)vinyl] Alkanols. The Status of Intramolecular Chelation within Functionalized Allylindium Reagents
摘要:
The stereochemistry of the coupling reactions of oxygen-substituted bromides 8-10 with isobutyraldehyde, benzaldehyde, and cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde in water is described. The examples involving the O-silylated derivatives 8 exhibit moderate anti stereoselectivity. In contrast, rather high (most often in excess of 80:20) syn diastereofacial bias is observed when hydroxy bromides 10 are involved. Consequently, stereocontrolled 1,4-asymmetric induction under aqueous conditions can be realized in either direction on demand. These results are considered to reflect the fact that the siloxy systems enter into C-C bond formation via conventional Felkin-Anh transition state arrangements. The crossover observed for the unprotected analogues is believed to be a consequence of the preferred adoption of chelated transition states, these interactions likely being fundamental to aqueous organometallic chemistry.
Factors influencing the cytotoxicity of α-methylene-γ-hydroxy esters against pancreatic cancer
摘要:
A systematic study to identify the factors influencing the cytotoxicity of a-methylene-c-hydroxy esters against three pancreatic cancer cell lines (Panc-1, MIA-PaCa-2, and BxPC-3) has established that, in addition to Michael acceptor abilities, the possibility to lactonize to alpha-methylene-gamma-butyrolactones is as important. The substitution pattern and the number of carbons between the hydroxy and ester moieties also influence the bio-activity. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
