Dramatic Acceleration of an Acyl Transfer-Initiated Cascade by Using Electron-Rich Amidine-Based Catalysts
摘要:
A tandem rearrangement of alpha,beta-unsaturated, thioesters into tricyclic ene-lactones fails with conventional amidine-based catalysts, but becomes possible when their electron-rich analogs are employed. A highly diastereo- and enantioselective version of this process has been developed using H-PIP 1b, a chiral catalyst prepared over a decade ago, but never utilized since its disclosure.

Enantioselective Conjugate Addition of Both Aromatic Ketones and Acetone to Nitroolefins Catalyzed by Chiral Primary Amines Bearing Multiple Hydrogen-Bonding Donors
of chiral primary amine catalysts bearing multiple hydrogen-bonding donors have been designed and synthesized. The newly developed bifunctional organocatalysts efficiently catalyzed not only enantioselectiveconjugateaddition of aromatic ketones to nitroolefins in good yields (up to 87%) with excellent enantioselectivities (97→99% ee) but also enantioselectiveconjugateaddition of acetone to nitroolefins

Synthetically useful N-Fmoc amino-alkyl isothiocyanates have been described, starting from protected amino acids. These compounds have been synthesized in excellent yields by thiocarbonylation of the monoprotected 1,2-diamines with CS2/TEA/p-TsCl, isolated as stable solids, and completely characterized. The procedure has been extended to the synthesis of amino alkyl isothiocyanates from Boc- and Z-protected amino acids as well. The utility of these isothiocyanates for peptidomimetics synthesis has been demonstrated by employing them in the preparation of a series of dithioureidopeptide esters. Boc-Gly-OH and Boc-Phe-OH derived isothiocyanates 9a and 9c have been obtained as single crystals and their structures solved through X-ray diffraction. They belong to the orthorhombic crystal system, and have a single molecule in the asymmetric unit (Z' = 1). 9a crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group Pbca, while 9c crystallizes in the noncentrosymmetric space group P2(1)2(1)2(1).
