Optically pure 1,3-diols from (2R,4R)- and (2S,4S)-1,2:4,5-diepoxypentane
摘要:
Optically pure (> 97% ee) (2R,4R)-1,2:4,5-diepoxypentane (1) and its enantiomer can be prepared in three steps from 2,4-pentanedione without the need for chromatographic purification. Diepoxide 1 is an efficient precursor to a wide variety of optically pure syn and anti 1,3-diols. Reaction with excess nucleophile gives symmetric[GRAPHICS]anti 1,3-diols in good yield. Reaction with a slight excess of alkyllithium under Ganem's conditions gives the monoepoxides 5 in good yield. Addition of a second nucleophile to monoepoxide 5 gives asymmetric anti 1,3-diols. Mitsunobu inversion of monoepoxide 5 followed by addition of a second nucleophile gives syn 1,3-diols. Optically pure syn and anti 1,3-diols are available from diepoxide 1 in one to three steps and good overall yield.
two successive enantioselective organocatalytic acylation reactions, and leads to diesters and recovered diols with high enantiopurities. It was first developed with C2‐symmetrical diols and then further extended to non‐C2‐symmetrical anti diols to prepare useful chiral building blocks. The protocol is highly practical as it only requires 1 mol % of a commercially available organocatalyst and leads

A short and efficient enantioselectivesynthesis of yashabushidiols A and B and the β-hydroxy-δ-lactone moiety of compactin and mevinolin with high enantiomeric purity (98% ee) is described starting from commercially available materials. The strategy mainly comprises of iodine-induced intramolecular electrophilic addition of a carbonate occurring in a highly diastereoselective fashion and the Co-catalyzed

A systematic study of the asymmetric transfer hydrogenations of functionalized acetylenic ketones and diketones has been completed, together with a total synthesis of (S,S)-(-)-yashabushidiol B. In several cases, excellent enantioselectivities and yields were achieved.
Synthesis of yashabushidiol and its analogues and their cytotoxic activity against cancer cell lines
A total synthesis of yashabushidiol (1a), a linear diarylheptanoid having 1,3-diol system and its analogues has been achieved by alkynylation of 3-hydroxy-5-phenyl pentanal with substituted phenyl acetylenes. All the compounds have shown significant anti-proliferative activity on human leukemia (THP-1, U-937) and melanoma (A-375) cell lines. Compounds 2a and 2b were found to be most potent with an IC50 of 12.82 mu g/mL and 12.62 mu g/mL, respectively, on THP-1 leukemia cell line. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

the intramolecularhydrogenbond followed by solvation to the carbonyl and/or hydroxyl groups, as well as the presence of the phenyl groups. The ca. 30% of the solventeffect on the optical rotation was based on the change in the rotational strength associated with the n→π∗ transition of the carbonyl group as changing a solvent. The residual 70% was based on the change in the rotational strength associated
