Developing Neolignans as Proangiogenic Agents: Stereoselective Total Syntheses and Preliminary Biological Evaluations of the Four Guaiacylglycerol 8-O-4'-Coniferyl Ethers.

ABSTRACT: Stereoselective total syntheses of the four stereoisomeric forms of guaiacylglycerol 8-O-4'-coniferyl ether, viz., compounds 1, ent-1, 2, and ent-2, have been established. The key step involves an Evans/Seebach auxiliary-controlled and syn-selective aldol process followed, in the reaction sequences leading to the anti-compounds, by a Mitsunobu reaction involving a benzylic alcohol residue. The proangiogenic properties of the synthetic materials were evaluated in a human microvascular endothelial cell tubule formation assay, thus revealing that they are all active, with the 8S-configured compounds 1 and 2 being the most potent.

Stereoselective syntheses of 3-aminocyclooctanetriols and halocyclooctanetriols.

Project description:The efficient synthesis of two new stereoisomeric 3-aminocyclooctanetriols and their new halocyclitol derivatives starting from cis,cis-1,3-cyclooctadiene are reported. Reduction of cyclooctene endoperoxide, obtained by photooxygenation of cis,cis-1,3-cyclooctadiene, with zinc yielded a cyclooctene diol followed by acetylation of the hydroxy group, which gave dioldiacetate by OsO4/NMO oxidation. The cyclooctane dioldiacetate prepared was converted to the corresponding cyclic sulfate via the formation of a cyclic sulfite in the presence of catalytic RuO4. The reaction of this cyclic sulfate with a nucleophilic azide followed by the reduction of the azide group provided the target, 3-aminocyclooctanetriol. The second key compound, bromotriol, was prepared by epoxidation of the cyclooctenediol with m-chloroperbenzoic acid followed by hydrolysis with HBr(g) in methanol. Treatment of bromotriol with NaN3 and the reduction of the azide group yielded the other desired 3-aminocyclooctanetriol. Hydrolysis of the epoxides with HCl(g) in methanol gave stereospecifically new chlorocyclooctanetriols.

Stereoselective Syntheses of all the Possible Stereoisomers of Coronafacic Acid.

Project description:An efficient and stereoselective syntheses of all the possible stereoisomers of coronafacic acid (CFA) has been developed. The stereochemistries of C3a and C7a were controlled in a diastereoselective Diels-Alder type cycloaddition using a chiral auxiliary. CFA and 6-epi-CFA were synthesized by hydrogenation of a common intermediate. During the synthesis of 6-epi-CFA, we established that its cis-fused configuration is important for the introduction of C4-C5 double bond by dehydration. This report is the first practical synthesis of both 6-epi-CFA, and its enantiomer.

Stereoselective syntheses of 3-dehydroxynaltrexamines and N-methyl-3-dehydroxynaltrexamines.

Project description:Methodology is presented for the synthesis of 6α/β-3-dehydroxynaltrexamines and 6α/β-N-methyl-3-dehydroxynaltrexamines. A stereoselective route is provided for each target compound while a novel one-pot method for the synthesis of 6 α/β-3-N-methyl-3-dehydroxynaltrexamines is also explored. These results enable the versatile and efficient preparation of key epoxymorphinan intermediates to facilitate future selective opioid ligand discovery and development.

Stereoselective Syntheses of 3'-Hydroxyamino- and 3'-Methoxyamino-2',3'-Dideoxynucleosides.

Project description:Aminonucleosides are used as key motifs in medicinal and bioconjugate chemistry; however, existing strategies toward 3'-hypernucleophilic amine systems do not readily deliver deoxyribo-configured products. We report diastereoselective syntheses of deoxyribo- and deoxyxylo-configured 3'-hydroxyamino- and 3'-methoxyamino-nucelosides from 3'-imine intermediates. The presence or absence of the 5'-hydroxyl-group protection dictates facial selectivity via inter- or intramolecular delivery of hydride from BH3 (borane). Protecting group screening gave one access to previously unknown 3'-methoxyamino-deoxyguanosine derivatives.

Concise and Stereoselective Total Syntheses of Annotinolides C, D, and E.

Project description:The annotinolides are one of the most recent additions to the Lycopodium family of alkaloids, with its members possessing challenging, caged structures that include a [3.2.1]-bicyclic core bearing six contiguous stereocenters, including four that are fully substituted. Herein, we document a concise and stereoselective route that achieves the first total syntheses of three of its members: annotinolides C, D, and E. Key operations include a gold(I)-catalyzed Conia-ene reaction that fashions much of the main core in a single operation, as well as a number of other challenging and chemoselective transformations to generate the remaining elements. Moreover, efforts utilizing the natural products themselves, seeking adjustments in their oxidation states and the rearrangement of individual ring systems, shed light on their potential biogenesis with some outcomes counter to those originally proposed. Finally, formal enantioenriched syntheses of the target molecules are also presented.

Ruthenium- and palladium-catalyzed enyne cycloisomerizations: differentially stereoselective syntheses of bicyclic structures.

Project description:Enyne cycloisomerizations can provide an efficient means for forming carbon-carbon bonds. We describe stereoselectively dichotomous enyne cycloisomerizations, entirely dependent on the selection of catalytic manifold. Ruthenium catalysis provides trans-fused bicyclic systems, whereas palladium catalysis provides the analogous cis-fused bicycles. A number of substrates are investigated, and the outcomes ultimately offer a clear mechanistic rationale for these observations.

Total syntheses of amphidinolides T1 and T4 via catalytic, stereoselective, reductive macrocyclizations.

Project description:Described in this work are total syntheses of amphidinolides T1 and T4 using two nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling reactions of alkynes, with an epoxide in one case (intermolecular) and with an aldehyde in another (intramolecular). The latter was used to effect a macrocyclization, form a C-C bond, and install a stereogenic center with >10:1 selectivity in both natural product syntheses. Alternative approaches in which intermolecular alkyne-aldehyde reductive coupling reactions would serve to join key fragments were investigated and are also discussed; it was found that macrocyclization (i.e. intramolecular alkyne-aldehyde coupling) was superior in several respects (diastereoselectivity, yield, and length of syntheses). Alkyne-epoxide reductive couplings were instrumental in the construction of key fragments corresponding to approximately half of the molecule of both natural products. In one case (T4 series), the alkyne-epoxide coupling exhibited very high site selectivity in a coupling of a diyne. A model for the stereoselectivity observed in the macrocyclizations is also proposed.

Stereoselective synthesis of four possible isomers of streptopyrrolidine.

Project description:The synthesis of (4R,5R)-streptopyrrolidine (1), (4S,5R)-streptopyrrolidine (2) (4R,5S)-streptopyrrolidine (3) and (4S,5S)-streptopyrrolidine (4) have been achieved in a concise and highly efficient manner via a highly stereoselective aldol type reaction with the trimethylsilyl enolate of ethyl acetate and Lewis acid mediated lactamization as the key reactions in ?42% yield over six steps starting from D-phenylalanine and L-phenylalanine, respectively. The absolute configuration of the natural product was shown to be (4S,5S) by comparing its spectral and analytical data with the reported values.

Quantitative Prediction of Rate Constants for Aqueous Racemization To Avoid Pointless Stereoselective Syntheses.

Project description:Racemization has a large impact upon the biological properties of molecules but the chemical scope of compounds with known rate constants for racemization in aqueous conditions was hitherto limited. To address this remarkable blind spot, we have measured the kinetics for racemization of 28 compounds using circular dichroism and 1 H?NMR spectroscopy. We show that rate constants for racemization (measured by ourselves and others) correlate well with deprotonation energies from quantum mechanical (QM) and group contribution calculations. Such calculations thus provide predictions of the second-order rate constants for general-base-catalyzed racemization that are usefully accurate. When applied to recent publications describing the stereoselective synthesis of compounds of purported biological value, the calculations reveal that racemization would be sufficiently fast to render these expensive syntheses pointless.
