Asymmetric synthesis of tetrahydropyran[3,2-c]quinolinones via an organocatalyzed formal [3 + 3] annulation of quinolinones and MBH 2-naphthoates of nitroolefin
摘要:
An efficient asymmetric and enantio-swithchable organocatalytic [3 + 3] annulation reaction using MBH-2-naphthoates of nitroalkenes and 4-hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-ones has been developed. Densely substituted tetrahydropyrano[3,2-c]quinolinones scaffolds with two adjacent stereogenic centers are obtained with high yield (up to 95% yield) and good stereoselectivities (up to >20:1 dr and 96% ee) in an enantio-switchable manner. Furthermore, gram scale synthesis was achieved and the nitro group could easily transform into an amino group without any appreciable loss in the diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

Design and Synthesis of Calcium and Magnesium Ionophores Based on Double-Armed Diazacrown Ether Compounds and Their Application to an Ion Sensing Component for an Ion-Selective Electrode
摘要:
The double-armed diazacrown ethers, which have a base diazacrown ether ring with two diamide-type side chains, were designed and synthesized on the basis of the proposed molecular model for the novel neutral Ca2+ and Mg2+ ionophores. The potentiometric ion-selective electrodes were prepared with over 20 kinds of systematically synthesized diazacrown ether derivatives. The relationship between the molecular structures of the ionophores and the ion selectivities was fully discussed. The electrodes based on the 21- and 18-membered diazacrown ether derivatives possessing a glycolic diamide and malonic diamide in their side chains (K23E1 and K22B5) exhibited excellent Ca2+ and Mg2+ selectivities, respectively. The ion-selectivity features of the novel Ca2+ and Mg2+ ionophores supply important structural information about the design of host molecules for alkaline earth metal cations.

A selective synthesis of acrylamides had been developed using the Doebner–Knoevenagel condensation. The reaction occurs under mild conditions at ambient temperatures, tolerates a wide array of functional groups, and affords the E-isomer with high selectivity. The reported method expands the scope of this classic reaction to a class of industrially important products and as well as to the use of aliphatic
Novel acetamide derivatives have been discovered to have useful pharmaceutical activity on the central nervous system. They may be prepared by reacting the corresponding ester or acid halide with the appropriately substituted amine.
