CuBr₂-Catalyzed Mild Oxidation of 3,4-Dihydro-?-Carbolines and Application in Total Synthesis of 6-Hydroxymetatacarboline D.

ABSTRACT: A green chemical method for the conversion of 3,4-dihydro-?-carbolines to ?-carbolines has been developed using air as the oxidant. With 15 mol % CuBr₂ as the catalyst, 3,4-dihydro-?-carbolines could be efficiently oxidized to ?-carbolines in dimethyl sulfoxide at room temperature in the presence of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene (or Et₃N). By applying this method, the first total synthesis of 6-hydroxymetatacarboline D was performed through 12 steps in 22% overall yield starting from l-5-hydroxy-tryptophan.

A green chemical method for the conversion of 3,4-dihydro-β-carbolines to β-carbolines has been developed using air as the oxidant.

Design and Synthesis of Fluorescent 1,3-Diaryl-β-carbolines and 1,3-Diaryl-3,4-dihydro-β-carbolines.

Project description:The 1,3-diaryl-β-carboline derivatives, including 3,4-dihydro variants, were synthesized via a multiple-step approach. These compounds possess rigid and twisted configurations, which are expected to exhibit unique optical properties. The absorption and fluorescence properties of the newly synthesized compounds were investigated. These synthetic 1,3-diaryl-β-carbolines displayed strong emission in the range of 387-409 nm and exhibited absolute photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 74%. Density functional theory calculations were performed to better elucidate the geometric, electronic, and optical properties of these novel 1,3-diaryl-β-carbolines.

Cu-catalyzed mild and efficient oxidation of THβCs using air: application in practical total syntheses of perlolyrine and flazin.

Project description:A mild, efficient and environmentally benign method for synthesis of aromatic β-carbolines via Cu(ii)-catalyzed oxidation of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-β-carbolines (THβCs) was developed, in which air (O2) was used as the clean oxidant. This method has advantages such as environmentally friendliness, mildness, very good tolerance of functional groups, high yielding and easy experiment operation. In addition, this new methodology was successfully applied in the efficient and practical total syntheses of β-carboline alkaloids perlolyrine and flazin.

Iron-Catalyzed Synthesis of Tetrahydronaphthalenes via 3,4-Dihydro-2H-pyran Intermediates.

Project description:The development of an iron(III)-catalyzed synthetic strategy toward functionalized tetrahydronaphthalenes is described. This approach is characterized by its operational simplicity and is distinct from currently available procedures that rely on [4 + 2]-cycloadditions. Our strategy takes advantage of the divergent reactivity observed for simple aryl ketone precursors to gain exclusive access to tetrahydronaphthalene products (23 examples). Detailed mechanistic investigations identified pyrans as reactive intermediates that afford the desired tetrahydronaphthalenes in high yields upon iron(III)-catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation.

Catalytic Allylic Oxidation of Cyclic Enamides and 3,4-Dihydro-2H-Pyrans by TBHP.

Project description:Allylic oxidation of heteroatom substituted cyclic alkenes by tert-butyl hydroperoxide (70% TBHP in water) using catalytic dirhodium caprolactamate [Rh2(cap)4] forms enone products with a variety of 2-substituted cyclic enamides and 3,4-dihyro-2H-pyrans. These reactions occur under mild reaction conditions, are operationally convenient to execute, and are effective for product formation with as low as 0.25 mol% catalyst loading. With heteroatom stabilization of the intermediate allylic free radical two sites for oxidative product formation are possible, and the selectivity of the oxidative process varies with the heteroatom when R = H. Cyclic enamides produce 4-piperidones in good yields when R = alkyl or aryl, but oxidation of 2H-pyrans also gives alkyl cleavage products. Alternative catalysts for TBHP oxidations show comparable selectivities but give lower product yields.

Ru-NHC-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of 2-Quinolones to Chiral 3,4-Dihydro-2-Quinolones.

Project description:Direct enantioselective hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds to generate chiral three-dimensional motifs is one of the most straightforward and important approaches in synthetic chemistry. We realized the Ru(II)-NHC-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-quinolones under mild reaction conditions. Alkyl-, aryl- and halogen-substituted optically active dihydro-2-quinolones were obtained in high yields with moderate to excellent enantioselectivities. The reaction provides an efficient and atom-economic pathway to construct simple chiral 3,4-dihydro-2-quinolones. The desired products could be further reduced to tetrahydroquinolines and octahydroquinolones.

(3R,4S)-3,4-Isopropyl-idenedioxy-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyrrole 1-oxide.

Project description:The title compound C(7)H(11)NO(3) was prepared by intra-molecular nucleophilic displacement of 2,3-O-iso-propyl-idene-d-erythronolactol. There are two mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit, which are related by a pseudo-inversion centre. The crystal structure determination confirms unequivocally the configuration of the chiral centres as 3S,4R. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular C-H?O inter-actions link the mol-ecules (into infinite zigzag chains along the a axis.

Microbial-Catalyzed Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation for 3,4-seco-Triterpenoids as Potential HMGB1 Inhibitors.

Project description:Pentacyclic triterpenoids are considered to be the potential HMGB1 inhibitors, but due to the limited number of hydrogen bond donors and the number of rotatable bonds in the rigid skeletons, their further chemical biology research with this target was restricted. To improve these profiles, microbial-catalyzed Baeyer-Villiger oxidation of the primary ursane and oleanane-type triterpenoids including uvaol (1), erythrodiol (2), oleanolic acid (3), and ursolic acid (4) was performed by Streptomyces olivaceus CICC 23628. As a result, ten new and one known A-ring cleaved metabolites were obtained and the possible biogenetic pathways were also discussed based on the HPLC-MS analysis. Furthermore, the direct interactions between compounds 1d, 2b, and HMGB1 were observed by the biolayer interferometry technique. Molecular docking revealed that the newly introduced vicinal diol at C-4, C-24, and the hydroxyl group at C-21 of compound 1d are crucial for binding with HMGB1. The cellular assay showed that co-treatment of 1d could significantly block HMGB1-activated nitric oxide release with an IC50 value of 9.37 μM on RAW 264.7 cells. Altogether, our research provides some insights into 3,4-seco-triterpenes as potential anti-inflammatory candidates for the discovery of novel HMGB1 inhibitors.

Tricyclic Imidazolidin-4-ones by Witkop Oxidation of Tetrahydro-?-carbolines.

Project description:1-Substituted and 1,1-disubstituted tetrahydro-?-carbolines undergo sodium periodate oxidative ring expansion in the presence of formaldehyde and other aldehydes to form 5,6-dihydro-7H-1,4-methanobenzo[e][1,4]diazonine-2,7(3H)-diones in 30-81% yield. In most cases, the reaction to form this new 6/8/5-tricyclic ring system proceeds with high diastereoselectivity. These benzannulated medium-ring keto imidazolidin-4-ones expand the menu of tetrahydro-?-carboline oxidation products.

Homogeneous electrocatalytic oxidation of ammonia to N2 under mild conditions.

Project description:We report that ruthenium polypyridyl complexes can catalyze ammonia oxidation to dinitrogen at room temperature and ambient pressure. During bulk electrolysis experiments, gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis of the headspace in the electrochemical cell showed that dinitrogen and dihydrogen are generated from ammonia with high faradaic efficiencies. A proposed mechanism where a hydrazine complex is the initial N-N bonded intermediate is supported by chemical and electrochemical experiments. This is a well-defined system for homogeneous electrocatalytic ammonia oxidation. It establishes a platform for answering mechanistic questions relevant to using ammonia to store and distribute renewable energy.

Directed, Palladium(II)-Catalyzed Intermolecular Aminohydroxylation of Alkenes Using a Mild Oxidation System.

Project description:A palladium(II)-catalyzed β,γ-aminohydroxylation reaction of nonconjugated alkenyl carbonyl compounds has been developed. This reaction utilizes a cleavable bidentate directing group to achieve regioselective aminopalladation. The resulting chelation-stabilized alkylpalladium(II) intermediate is then hydroxylated using oxygen/2,6-dimethylbenzoquinone in HFIP as the mild oxidation system. Under the optimized conditions, various nucleophiles and alkene substrates are capable of delivering good yields and high diastereoselectivities of the aminohydroxylated products.
