Three step synthesis of single diastereoisomers of the vicinal trifluoro motif.

ABSTRACT: A three step route to single diastereoisomers of the vicinal trifluoromethyl motif is described. The route starts from either syn- or anti-alpha,beta-epoxy alcohols and takes a direct approach in that each of the three steps introduces a fluorine atom in a regio- and stereo-specific manner. Starting from either the syn- or the anti-alpha,beta-epoxy alcohol, stereospecific reactions generate two separate diastereoisomeric series of this motif. The route is a significant improvement on an earlier six step strategy.

Three-Step Telescoped Synthesis of Monosubstituted Vicinal Diamines from Aldehydes.

Project description:Aldehydes are easily transformed into vicinal diamines and piperazines through a one-pot procedure including a Darzens reaction and treatment with an amine or diamine and then with a reducing agent. Additionally, quinoxalines can be accessed by reaction with 1,2-benzenediamine under oxidative conditions. These transformations are simple methods for the preparation of synthetically interesting monosubstituted diamines, piperazines, and quinoxalines.

The vicinal difluoro motif: The synthesis and conformation of erythro- and threo- diastereoisomers of 1,2-difluorodiphenylethanes, 2,3-difluorosuccinic acids and their derivatives.

Project description:BackgroundIt is well established that vicinal fluorines (RCHF-CHFR) prefer to adopt a gauche rather than an anti conformation when placed along aliphatic chains. This has been particularly recognised for 1,2-difluoroethane and extends to 2,3-difluorobutane and longer alkyl chains. It follows in these latter cases that if erythro and threo vicinal difluorinated stereoisomers are compared, they will adopt different overall conformations if the fluorines prefer to be gauche in each case. This concept is explored in this paper with erythro- and threo- diastereoisomers of 2,3-difluorosuccinates.ResultsA synthetic route to 2,3-difluorosuccinates has been developed through erythro- and threo- 1,2-difluoro-1,2-diphenylethane which involved the oxidation of the aryl rings to generate the corresponding 2,3-difluorosuccinic acids. Ester and amide derivatives of the erythro- and threo- 2,3-difluorosuccinic acids were then prepared. The solid and solution state conformation of these compounds was assessed by X-ray crystallography and NMR. Ab initio calculations were also carried out to model the conformation of erythro- and threo- 1,2-difluoro-1,2-diphenylethane as these differed from the 2,3-difluorosuccinates.ConclusionIn general the overall chain conformations of the 2,3-difluorosuccinates diastereoisomers were found to be influenced by the fluorine gauche effect. The study highlights the prospects of utilising the vicinal difluorine motif (RCHF-CHFR) as a tool for influencing the conformation of performance organic molecules and particularly tuning conformation by selecting specific diastereoisomers (erythro or threo).

Homologated amino acids with three vicinal fluorines positioned along the backbone: development of a stereoselective synthesis.

Project description:Backbone-extended amino acids have a variety of potential applications in peptide and protein science, particularly if the geometry of the amino acid is controllable. Here we describe the synthesis of δ-amino acids that contain three vicinal C-F bonds positioned along the backbone. The ultimately successful synthetic approach emerged through the investigation of several methods based on both electrophilic and nucleophilic fluorination chemistry. We show that different diastereoisomers of this fluorinated δ-amino acid adopt distinct conformations in solution, suggesting that these molecules might have value as shape-controlled building blocks for future applications in peptide science.

The organocatalytic three-step total synthesis of (+)-frondosin B.

Project description:The frondosins are a family of marine sesquiterpenes isolated from the sponge Dysidea frondosa that exhibit biological activities ranging from anti-inflammatory properties to potential application in anticancer and HIV therapy. Herein, a concise enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-frondosin B is described which requires a total of three chemical steps. The enantioselective conjugate addition of a benzofuran-derived boronic acid to crotonaldehyde in the presence of an imidazolidinone organocatalyst builds the critical stereogenic center of frondosin B in the first operation, while the remaining two ring systems of this natural product are installed in the two subsequent steps. A combination of X-ray crystallographic data, deuterium labeling, and chemical correlation studies provides further evidence as to the correct absolute stereochemical assignment of (+)-frondosin B.

Three-Step Synthesis of the Antiepileptic Drug Candidate Pynegabine.

Project description:Pynegabine, an antiepileptic drug candidate in phase I clinical trials, is a structural analog of the marketed drug retigabine with improved chemical stability, strong efficacy, and a better safety margin. The reported shortest synthetic route for pynegabine contains six steps and involves the manipulation of highly toxic methyl chloroformate and dangerous hydrogen gas. To improve the feasibility of drug production, we developed a concise, three-step process using unconventional methoxycarbonylation and highly efficient Buchwald-Hartwig cross coupling. The new synthetic route generated pynegabine at the decagram scale without column chromatographic purification and avoided the dangerous manipulation of hazardous reagents.

Practical, efficient, and broadly applicable synthesis of readily differentiable vicinal diboronate compounds by catalytic three-component reactions.

Project description:A practical, efficient and broadly applicable catalytic method for synthesis of easily differentiable vicinal diboronate compounds is presented. Reactions are promoted by a combination of PCy3 or PPh3, CuCl and LiOt-Bu and may be performed with readily accessible alkenyl boronate substrates. Through the use of an alkenyl-B(pin) (pin = pinacolato) or alkenyl- B(dan) (dan = naphthalene-1,8-diaminato) starting material and commercially available (pin)B- B(dan) or B2(pin)2 as the reagent, a range of vicinal diboronates, including those that contain a B-substituted quaternary carbon center, may be prepared in up to 91% yield and with >98% site selectivity. High enantioselectivities can be obtained (up to 96:4 er) through the use of commercially available chiral bis-phosphine ligands for reactions that afford mixed diboronate products.

Three-step synthesis of an annulated ?-carboline via palladium catalysis.

Project description:The synthesis of ?-carbolines is a mature field, yet new methods are desirable to introduce new functionality onto the core scaffold. We describe the incorporation of an additional fused ring onto the ?-carboline via a novel palladium-catalyzed, one-pot Sonogashira coupling/intramolecular [2+2+2] cyclization. This method generates three rings in one flask and produces an annulated ?-carboline in 80% yield. A preliminary mechanistic study into the sequence of events is described, which confirms an unprecedented catalytic role for palladium.

Mechanistic study of the biomimetic synthesis of flavonolignan diastereoisomers in milk thistle.

Project description:The mechanism for the biomimetic synthesis of flavonolignan diastereoisomers in milk thistle is proposed to proceed by single-electron oxidation of coniferyl alcohol, subsequent reaction with one of the oxygen atoms of taxifolin's catechol moiety, and finally, further oxidation to form four of the major components of silymarin: silybin A, silybin B, isosilybin A, and isosilybin B. This mechanism is significantly different from a previously proposed process that involves the coupling of two independently formed radicals.

Concise Chemoenzymatic Three Step Total Synthesis of Isosolenopsin Through Medium Engineering.

Project description:A short and efficient total synthesis of the alkaloid isosolenopsin and its enantiomer has been achieved. In the key step, a ω-transaminase catalyzed the regioselective mono-amination of the diketone pentadecane-2,6-dione which was obtained in a single step via Grignard reaction. Initial low conversions in the biotransformation could be overcome by optimisation of the reaction conditions employing suitable cosolvents. In the presence of 20 vol% DMF or n-heptane best results were obtained employing two enantio-complementary ω-transaminases originating from Arthrobacter between 30-40 °C; under these conditions conversions of >99% and perfect stereocontrol (ee > 99%) were achieved. Diastereostelective chemical reduction (H2/Pd/C) of the biocatalytic product gave the target compound. The linear three step synthesis provided the natural product isosolenopsin in diastereomerically pure form (ee > 99%, d.r. = 99:1) with an overall yield of 64%.

Galactan synthesis in a single step via oligomerization of monosaccharides.

Project description:Galactans ranging in length from one to five residues were prepared in a single step by treatment of the glycosyl donor 2,3,4-tri-O-benzoyl-?-D-galactopyranosyl fluoride with lanthanum perchlorate in the presence of an initiator alcohol. The product oligosaccharides were readily chromatographically separable. This oligomerization was used to synthesize a pentagalactan in a single step from monosaccharide building blocks in reasonable overall yields.
