Stereoselective Synthesis of Polysubstituted Tetrahydrofurans by Radical Cyclization of Epoxides Using a Transition-Metal Radical Source. Application to the Total Synthesis of (±)-Methylenolactocin and (±)-Protolichesterinic Acid
摘要:
Radical cyclization reactions of substituted alpha-(prop-2-ynyloxy) epoxides using bis(cyclopentadienyl)-titanium(III) chloride as the radical source resulted in polysubstituted tetrahydrofurans. Titanium(III) species were prepared in situ from commercially available titanocene dichloride and zinc dust in tetrahydrofuran, Upon radical cyclization, 2-aryl epoxides 3a-e afforded only trans products 4a-e whereas the 2-alkyl epoxides 3f-h formed a mixture of isomeric products 4f-h in a ratio of 5:1. Some of the aryl tetrahydrofuran derivatives have already been used for the synthesis of bioactive furofuran lignans. 2-Pentyl-3-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methylenetetrahydrofuran (4f) and 2-tridecyl-3-(hydroxymethyl)-4-methylenetetrahydrofuran (4g) have been transformed to two antitumor antibiotics (+/-)-methylenolactocin (1f) and (+/-)-protolichesterinic acid (1g), respectively, in good overall yield.
Synthesis of new ligands for targeting the S1P1 receptor
摘要:
Sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) influences various fundamental biological processes by interacting with a family of five G protein-coupled receptors (S1P(1-5)). FTY720, a sphingosine analogue, which was approved for treatment of relapsing forms of multiple sclerosis, is phosphorylated in vivo and acts as an agonist of four of the five S1P receptor subtypes. Starting from these lead structures we developed new agonists for the S1P(1) receptor. The biological activity was tested in vivo and promising ligands were fluorinated at different positions to identify candidates for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging after [F-18]-labelling. The radioligands shall enable the imaging of S1P(1) receptor expression in vivo and thus may serve as novel imaging markers of S1P-related diseases. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The first route to 5-alkyl substituted and purely trans-configurated 1,4-dioxanecarboxylic acids 3 is described. The mesogenic properties of the esters 17 and 20, which are derived from the acids 3 and esters 19 (prepared from the hemiacetal 8a), are studied and compared. An enantioselective route to 1,4-dioxanecarboxylic acid 3a is explained, and takes advantage of the stereoselective addition of the bromolithioalkene 11b to heptanal.

O verman rearrangements based on secondary 2-fluoroallylic alcohols were performed to synthesize fluorinated primary allylicamines for the first time. The vinylic fluorine atom dramatically slows down the reactionrate. Long alkyl chain fluorinated allylicamine, which is a mimic of a drug against schizophrenia, was further coupled with Boc-protected phenyl glycine, forming a Gly-Phe peptide mimic
Provided is a highly efficient method for the production of aldehydes and ketones, which is inexpensive, exhibits high reactivity, and is capable of easy separation of byproduct after the reaction. More particularly, there is provided a method for producing an aldehyde or a ketone, comprising at least an oxidation step of oxidizing a primary alcohol or a secondary alcohol in the presence of a polymeric carbodiimide represented by the following formula (1) and having a weight-average molecular weight of 300 to 5000, and a sulfoxide compound, together with an acid and a base, or together with a salt of the acid and the base.

sigmatropic rearrangement to fluorinated allyl isocyanates. Without isolation the latter delivered fluorinated ureas by addition of amines. The thiocyanate to isothiocyanate rearrangements started from the same fluorinated allylic alcohols, which were first converted to mesylates. Heating in THF with potassium thiocyanate led to fluorinated allyl isothiocyanates, via [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement of intermediate

synthesized via Ireland-Claisen rearrangements. The formation of intermediate (E)- and (Z)-enolates as the key-step was confirmed by NMR spectroscopy, which also indicated that only the (Z)-enolates rearrange, while the (E)-enolates are stable under the reaction conditions and hydrolyze back to the starting allylic esters during aqueous workup. As a consequence an incomplete rearrangement of the starting
