Enantioselective Metallophosphite-Catalyzed C-Acylation of Nitrones
摘要:
Metallophosphites derived from tartaric acid catalyze the enantioselective addition of acyl silanes to nitrones. The product alpha N-silyloxyamino ketones are obtained in moderate to good yields (36-94%) with excellent enantioselectivity (er >= 95:5). The nitrone oxygen is essential in facilitating the silyl transfer that is required for catalyst turnover. This represents, to the best of our knowledge, the first example of C-acylation of nitrones and the most highly enantioselective catalytic addition of an acyl anion equivalent to an azomethine electrophile. The N-O bond of the product may be reductively cleaved under mild conditions to provide N- aryl alpha-amino ketones with negligible loss of enantiopurity.
An Asymmetric Hetero-Claisen Approach to 3-Alkyl-3-aryloxindoles
摘要:
The reaction of a chiral N-phenylnitrone derived from Garner's aldehyde with alkylarylketenes generates 3-alkyl-3-aryloxindoles directly in excellent yields and with good to excellent levels of enantioselectivity (up to 90% ee).

The present invention relates to novel spiro derivatives of parthenin prepared by the dipolar cycloaddition of various dipoles viz, benzonitrile oxides, nitrones, azides, nitrile ylide diazoalkane, nitrile imide, ozone, azomethine imides, azomethine ylides etc. with exocyclic double bond of C ring (α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone). Representative compounds have been screened for their anticancer activity against different cancer cell lines. ICs0 value of these analogues varies between 4.3 μM to 93 μM. A mechanistic correlation of their anticancer activity has been described. The results of the cytotoxicity test of the compounds studies indicated that the α,β-unsaturated ketonic moiety in parthenin plays an important role in the maintenance of the high level of cytotoxicity.
