Asymmetric Aerobic Oxidation of α-Hydroxy Acid Derivatives by C4-Symmetric, Vanadate-Centered, Tetrakisvanadyl(V) Clusters Derived from N-Salicylidene-α-aminocarboxylates
摘要:
A series of chiral vanadyl(V) methoxides bearing 3-t-butyl-5-substituted N-salicylene-L-valinate and L-t-leucinate as chiral auxiliaries has been prepared. In all cases except the 3,5-di-t-butyl analogue, they exist as monomers both in solution and in the single crystal state. In the case of the 3,5-di-t-butyl analogue, the architectural nature of the vanadyl(V) complex highly depends on the base used during the complex formation event. A pentanuclear C-4-symmetric complex was formed when potassium salts were employed instead of the corresponding sodium salts. A central vanadate(V) unit serves to grip four identical chiral monomeric vanadyl(V) units together, by which a potassium ion sits on top of the four flanking units through carbonyl coordinations and serves to hold the whole cluster by cooperation with the central vanadate(V) unit. In comparison with the corresponding monomeric vanadyl(V) methoxide complex, the cluster complex was utilized to facilitate the asymmetric aerobic oxidations of various racemic alpha-hydroxyesters, -amides, and -thioesters with excellent selectivity factors (k(rel) 40 to >500).

rearrangement. A variety of α-substituents including aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl groups were tolerated to afford α-hydroxyacids in moderate-to-high yields. One-pot synthesis from aldehydes using PhMe2SiLi and CO2 was also possible, providing α-hydroxyacids without the isolation of an α-hydroxy silane.
Condensation of Vilsmeier Salts, Derived from Tetraalkylureas, with α-Hydroxy Amide Derivatives: One-pot Approach to Synthesize 2-Dialkylamino-2-oxazolin-4-ones
A novel and straightforward synthetic protocol was developed to synthesize 2-dialkylamino-2-oxazolin-4-ones from various Vilsmeier salts and α-hydroxy amides derivatives. Notably, thozalinone (3a), as a mild stimulant in tristimania and anorexic, could be synthesized simply and in a high yield using this methodology.
Herbicidal 2-(oxaheterocycle or thiaheterocycle)-5-amino-3-oxo-4-(substituted-phenyl)-2,3-dihydrofurans and derivatives thereof. The compounds generally exhibit both pre-emergence and post-emergence phytotoxicity and are useful as herbicides and also plant growth regulating agents at low dosages.
This invention provides amide compounds as inhibitors of acyl-Coenzyme A: cholesterol O-acyltransferase (ACAT), pharmaceutical compositions containing such compounds, processes for the preparation of such compounds, and the use of such compounds as antihypercholesterolemic and/or antiatherosclerotic agents.
O–H insertion reaction of diazo compounds is reported. This synthetic method, unlike conventional pathways, does not rely on transition metals, Lewis acids, or Brønsted acids; does not use any catalyst; and produces valuable α-hydroxy and α-alkoxy esters in good yields of up to 98%. The protocol exhibits a broad substrate scope and good functional-group tolerance. Notably, a gram-scale synthesis has
