A series of derivatives of 4-hydroxycyclohexanone (1a–g) with the hydroxy group protected as a silyl ether (1a, b), ether (1d, g), an acetal (1c), or an ester (1e, f) were deprotonated with chiral, optically pure, lithium amides 3–9. The resulting non-racemic enolates were trapped as enol acetates. The enantioselectivity of deprotonation was up to 74% ee.

The lithium enolate of tropinone reacts with alkyl chloroformates to give 6-N-carboalkoxy-N-methyl-2-cycloheptenones (4). These compounds can be produced enantioselectively, in up to 95% ee, if chiral lithium amides (derived from optically pure amines 5–7) are used for deprotonation of tropinone in the presence of additives. The effect of additives such as LiCl, LiBr, LiF, LiClO4, CeCl3, ZnCl2, LiOH, TMEDA, HMPA, and DMPU on enantioselectivity of this deprotonation–ring opening sequence varies from slight to very large depending on the chiral amide – additive combination. Especially large increases in enantioselectivity are observed when the chiral, C2 symmetrical, lithium bis-α,α′-methylbenzylamide (Li-5a) is used with one equivalent of LiCl. This reagent is best generated in situ from the corresponding amine hydrochloride and n-BuLi (2 equiv.). The ring-opening reaction combined with transposition of the carbonyl group (via Wharton reaction or allylic oxidation) provides a new method of stereoselective synthesis of tropane alkaloids having a protected hydroxyl at C-6 or C-7 (6β- and 7β-acetoxytropanes 14a, b) and physoperuvine (19). Keywords: enantioselective deprotonation, tropane alkaloids.

Enantioselective deprotonation of 8-thiabicyclo[3.2.1]octan-3-one (1) with chiral lithium amides, followed by reactions with electrophiles affords sulfur analogs of tropane alkaloids of pyranotropane family. Thus, deprotonation of 1 with (S)-N-(diphenyl)methyl-1-phenylethylamine (11d), followed by the reaction of the resulting nonracemic enolate with benzaldehyde gives the corresponding aldol product as one diastereoisomer (exo, threo) and in high enanatiomeric purity (95% ee). Trimethylsilyl chloride, acetic anhydride, and acyl cyanides react readily with the lithium enolate to give the corresponding derivatives of 1, however common alkylating agents fail to provide C-alkylated products. The reaction with acyl cyanides derived from α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids (e.g., cinnamoyl cyanide) can be utilized in synthesis of thia-analogs of tropane alkaloids physoperuvine and isobellendine (13, 15).Key words: enantioselective deprotonation, tropane alkaloids.

New approach to the preparation of steroids with connecting bridge, based on an O-carboxymethyloxime (CMO) structure, and with terminal hydroxy group, is presented. 17-CMO derivatives of 3β-acetoxy- and 3β-methoxymethoxyandrost-5-en-17-one were condensed with α,ω-amino alcohols to give derivatives with a chain of seven to nine atoms. After THP-protection, these compounds were converted to 3-keto-4-ene derivatives. An alternative synthesis consisted in transformation of 17-CMO derivatives with bonded amino acids by reduction of the terminal carboxyl. The resulting compounds were designed as building blocks for the preparation of bis-haptens for sandwich immunoassays.

4,6-O-Benzylidene acetal protected α-methoxy d-glucose and d-glucosamine are useful building blocks for the syntheses of carbohydrate derivatives and functional molecular assemblies. In this research, we have developed a general method for the preparation of C-3 carbamate derivatives of densely functionalized glucose and glucosamine with isocyanates using organic bases as catalysts. Without a suitable catalyst, the C-3 hydroxy group of the glucosamine derivative could not be converted into the corresponding carbamates when treated with isocyanates. Several organic bases were screened as the catalysts for the reactions, and we discovered that 5.0 mol% of 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU) was an effective catalyst for the carbamoylation reaction. A library of both alkyl and aryl carbamate derivatives of the two sterically congested carbohydrates have been effectively synthesized using the current method.

AbstractThe aminomethylation of 5-amino-1-naphthol (1) and 5-acetamido-1-naphthol (9) is examined. While the hydrogenolysis of the phenol Mannich bases derived from 1 cannot be accomplished, the derivatives of 9 react easily. The oxidation of the 2-methylphenol compounds 5 and 18 to the corresponding quinones may performed with Fremy's salt. The following transforming of the amino to the hydroxy group by nitrosylsulfuric acid succeeds with small yield only.

On fractional crystallization of 3-O-(2-(2-fluoro-4-biphenylyl)propionyl)-, 3-O-(2-(4-isobutylphenyl)propionyl)- and 3-O-(2-(6-methoxy-2-naphthyl)propionyl)-1,2 :5,6-di-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranoses V-VII optically pure R-diastereoisomers were isolated. The derivatives of 1,2-O-isopropylidene-α-D-glucofuranose obtained on partial deacetylation of esters V-VII were separated chromatographically to R and S-diastereoisomers. Their hydrolysis or transesterification afforded optically pure arylpropionic acids or their methyl esters, respectively. Kinetic resolution of the acids gives rise to esters V-VII enriched in R-diastereoisomer.
