Tetrafluoropyridyl (TFP): a general phenol protecting group readily cleaved under mild conditions.

ABSTRACT: Phenols are extremely valuable building blocks in the areas of pharmaceuticals, natural products, materials and catalysts. In order to carry out modifications on phenols, the phenolic oxygen is routinely protected to prevent unwanted side reactions. Presently many of the protecting groups available can require harsh conditions, specialist equipment, expensive or air/moisture-sensitive reagents to install and remove. Here we introduce the use of the tetrafluoropyridyl (TFP) group as a general protecting group for phenols. TFP can be installed in one step with no sensitivity to water or air, and it is stable under a range of commonly employed reaction conditions including acid and base. The TFP protecting group is readily cleaved under mild conditions with quantitative conversion to the parent phenol, observed in many cases in less than 1 hour.

1-naphthylpropargyl ether group: a readily cleaved and sterically minimal protecting system for stereoselective glycosylation.

Project description:[reaction: see text] The (1-naphthyl)propargyl group is introduced as a sterically unobtrusive alcohol protecting group that is cleaved in a single step by exposure to dichlorodicyanoquinone in wet dichloromethane. In conjunction with the 4,6-O-benzylidene protecting group, and the use of the sulfoxide glycosylation method, 3-O-naphthylpropargyl-protected mannosyl donors are extremely beta-selective.

An amine protecting group deprotectable under nearly neutral oxidative conditions.

Project description:The 1,3-dithiane-based dM-Dmoc group was studied for the protection of amino groups. Protection was achieved under mild conditions for aliphatic amines, and under highly reactive conditions for the less reactive arylamines. Moderate to excellent yields were obtained. Deprotection was performed by oxidation followed by treating with a weak base. The yields were good to excellent. The new amino protecting group offers a different dimension of orthogonality in reference to the commonly used amino protecting groups in terms of deprotection conditions. It is expected to allow a collection of transformations to be carried out on the protected substrates that are unattainable using any known protecting groups.

First Phenol Carboxylation with CO2 on Carbon Nanostructured C@Fe-Al2O3 Hybrids in Aqueous Media under Mild Conditions.

Project description:Novel hybrid materials with integrated catalytic properties and hydrophobic response, C@Fe-Al2O3 hybrid samples, were presented and tested as catalysts for phenol reaction in aqueous solutions at atmospheric pressure and mild temperature conditions, using CO2 as a feedstock. A series of carbon-coated γ-alumina pellets (C@Fe-Al2O3) were synthesized and characterized by TGA, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method, Raman spectroscopy, SEM, TEM, and XPS in order to get comprehensive knowledge of their properties at the nanoscale and relate them with their catalytic behavior. The results obtained correlated their catalytic activities with their carbon surface compositions. The application of these materials as active catalysts in the Kolbe-Schmitt reaction for CO2 conversion in aqueous media was proposed as an alternative reaction for the valorization of exhausts industrial effluents. In these early tests, the highest conversion of phenol was observed for the hybrid samples with the highest graphitic characteristic and the most hydrophobic behavior. Carboxylation products such as benzoic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, and salicylic acid, have been identified under these experimental conditions.

Convenient and General Zinc-Catalyzed Borylation of Aryl Diazonium Salts and Aryltriazenes under Mild Conditions.

Project description:A convenient and general zinc-catalyzed borylation of aryl diazonium salts and aryltriazenes has been developed. With bis- (pinacolato)diboron as the borylation reagent, aryldiazonium tetrafluoroborate salts and aryltriazenes were transformed into the corresponding arylboronates in moderate to excellent yields under mild conditions. As a convenient and practical methodology, no additional ligands, base, or any other additives are required here.

General and Efficient Copper-Catalyzed Oxazaborolidine Complex in Transfer Hydrogenation of Isoquinolines under Mild Conditions.

Project description:A general and efficient method for copper-catalyzed transfer hydrogenation of isoquinolines with an oxazaborolidine-BH3 complex, under mild reaction conditions, is successfully developed. A broad range of isoquinolines has been reduced to the corresponding products with 61-85% yields. The method is applied to the synthesis of biologically active tetrahydrosioquinoline alkaloid (±)-norlaudanosine in 62% yield, which is the key precursor for the preparation of (±)-laudanosine, (±)-N-methyl-laudanosine, and (±)-xylopinine in one or two steps.

The 4-(tert-butyldiphenylsiloxy)-3-fluorobenzyl group: a new alcohol protecting group, fully orthogonal with the p-methoxybenzyl group and removable under desilylation conditions.

Project description:A new benzyl ether-type protecting group for alcohols, the 4-(tert-butyldiphenylsiloxy)-3-fluorobenzyl group, is introduced. The protecting group is introduced by means of the readily prepared benzyl bromide and is cleaved with tetrabutylammonium fluoride in dimethylformamide under microwave irradiation. The fluoride substituent provides stability to oxidizing conditions, such that the new protecting group is fully compatible with the removal of p-methoxybenzyl ethers with DDQ. Applications of the new protecting group in the direct stereocontrolled synthesis of beta-mannopyranosides are presented.

Synthesis of protected glucose derivatives from levoglucosan by development of common carbohydrate protecting group reactions under continuous flow conditions.

Project description:Common carbohydrate protecting group reactions under continuous flow processes are reported in the context of producing partially-protected glucose building blocks from levoglucosan. Benzyl ether protection was demonstrated without the use of NaH using barium oxide, which, however, pointed to the need for forms of this catalyst not as susceptible to close packing under flow. Acylation conditions were developed under continuous flow in acetonitrile and avoiding pyridine. Ring-opening the derivatized levoglucosan with propanethiol was also demonstrated producing S-alkyl 2,4-di-O-benzyl-glucopyranoside building block in 2 rather than 12 steps in increased overall yield.

Regioselective Dehydration of Sugar Thioacetals under Mild Conditions.

Project description:Sugars are abundant in waste biomass, making them sustainable chiral building blocks for organic synthesis. The demand for chiral saturated heterocyclic rings for pharmaceutical applications is increasing as they provide well-defined three-dimensional frameworks that show increased metabolic resistance. A range of sugar thioacetals can be dehydrated selectively at C-2 under mild basic conditions, and the resulting ketene thioacetals can be applied to the production of useful chiral building blocks via further selective dehydration reactions.

Lipase-Catalyzed Phospha-Michael Addition Reactions under Mild Conditions.

Project description:Organophosphorus compounds are the core structure of many active natural products. The synthesis of these compounds is generally achieved by metal catalysis requiring specifically functionalized substrates or harsh conditions. Herein, we disclose the phospha-Michael addition reaction of biphenyphosphine oxide with various substituted β-nitrostyrenes or benzylidene malononitriles. This biocatalytic strategy provides a direct route for the synthesis of C-P bonds with good functional group compatibility and simple and practical operation. Under the optimal conditions (styrene (0.5 mmol), biphenyphosphine oxide (0.5 mmol), Novozym 435 (300 U), and EtOH (1 mL)), lipase leads to the formation of organophosphorus compounds in yields up to 94% at room temperature. Furthermore, we confirm the role of the catalytic triad of lipase in this phospha-Michael addition reaction. This new biocatalytic system will have broad applications in organic synthesis.
