A novel intramolecular cyclization of alkyl azides for the synthesis of cyclic imines and tertiary amines has been developed. The aliphatic C–H or C–C bond was selectively cleaved with the efficient formation of two C–N single bonds or a CN double bond.

Selective Synthesis

A post-Passerini condensation transformation can be employed in the synthesis of three types of amides: α-hydroxy, α-oxy, and α-oxo amides. K2CO3 efficiently promotes the solvolysis of α-acetoxy amides to form α-hydroxy amides in methanol. 2-Acetoxy-2-(2-alkynyl­quinolin-3-yl)acetamides in basic methanol are cyclized to 1,3-dihydrofuro[3,4-b]quinoline-1-carboxamides via deacetylation and 5-exo-dig cyclization. Treatment of 2-hydroxy-2-[2-(phenylethynyl)quinolin-3-yl]acetamides with I2 in basic media produces pyrrolo[2,3-b]quinoline-2,3-diones. This cyclization involves intramolecular cyclization, dealkynylative aromatization, and oxidation of the secondary alcohol.

As the enzyme toolbox for biocatalysis has expanded, so has the potential for the construction of powerful enzymatic cascades for efficient and selective synthesis of target molecules. Additionally, recent advances in computer-aided synthesis planning (CASP) are revolutionizing synthesis design in both synthetic biology and organic chemistry. However, the potential for biocatalysis is not well captured by tools currently available in either field. Here we present RetroBioCat, an intuitive and accessible tool for computer-aided design of biocatalytic cascades, freely available at retrobiocat.com. Our approach uses a set of expertly encoded reaction rules encompassing the enzyme toolbox for biocatalysis, and a system for identifying literature precedent for enzymes with the correct substrate specificity where this is available. Applying these rules for automated biocatalytic retrosynthesis, we show our tool to be capable of identifying promising biocatalytic pathways to target molecules, validated using a test-set of recent cascades described in the literature.

Selective Synthesis

A concise and selective synthesis of the dichlorinated meroterpenoid azamerone is described. The paucity of tactics for the synthesis of chiral organochlorides motivated the development of unique strategies for accessing these motifs in enantioenriched forms. The route features a novel enantioselective chloroetherification reaction, a Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling between a quinone diazide and a boronic hemiester, and a late-stage tetrazine [4+2]-cycloaddition/oxidation cascade.

Various arylethanones including electron-rich aromatic ketones such as o-hydroxyacetophenone and its p-isomer underwent selective side-chain &#945;,&#945;-dibromination using a heterogeneous system consisting of four molar equivalents of copper(II) bromide in chloroform-ethyl acetate under reflux. This study provides the cleanest method for the selective synthesis of several synthetically useful &#945;,&#945;-dibromoketones which are otherwise difficult to prepare.
