Organocatalytic Asymmetric α-Sulfenylation of 2-Substituted Indolin-3-ones: A Strategy for the Synthesis of Chiral 2,2-Disubstituted Indole-3-ones with S- and N-Containing Heteroquaternary Carbon Stereocenter
An organocatalytic asymmetric α-sulfenylation of 2-substituted indolin-3-ones with N-(alkylthio or arylthio)succinimides has been developed for the first time using Cinchona-derived squaramide as the catalyst. Various chiral 2,2-disubstituted indole-3-ones with S- and N-containing heteroquaternary carbon stereocenters were obtained with up to 98% yield and 99% ee.
molecular sieves as an additive. The reaction conditions were suitable to 4-alkyl and benzyl-substituted azlactones as well as N-(benzyl/alkyl/arylthio)succinimides, affording adducts with high enantioselectivities (81–94% ee).
The invention provides a novel method for producing an oligonucleotide using a nucleoside or oligonucleotide that is easy to isolate and has high storage stability. The oligonucleotide production method includes a step of subjecting a nucleoside or oligonucleotide having a pseudo solid phase-protecting group in at least one location selected from the group consisting of 2'-position, 3'-position, 5'-position and a nucleobase moiety and having a 5'-hydroxyl group or a 3'-hydroxyl group, to H-phosphonation to convert the 5'-hydroxyl group or the 3'-hydroxyl group into an H-phosphonated form.
