Oxidative fragmentation of tertiary cyclopropanols with phenyliodine(III) dicarboxylates in aprotic solvents (dichloromethane, chloroform, toluene) produces mixed anhydrides. The fragmentation reaction is especially facile with phenyliodine(III) reagents bearing electron-withdrawing carboxylate ligands (trifluoroacetyl, 2,4,6-trichlorobenzoyl, 3-nitrobenzoyl), and affords 95−98% yields of the corresponding mixed anhydride products. The latter can be straightforwardly applied for the acylation of various nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur-centered nucleophiles (primary and secondary amines, hydroxylamines, primary alcohols, phenols, thiols). Intramolecular acylation yielding macrocyclic lactones can also be performed. The developed transformation has bolstered the synthetic utility of cyclopropanols as pluripotent intermediates in diversity-oriented synthesis of bioactive natural products and their synthetic congeners. For example, it was successfully applied for the last-stage modification of a cyclic peptide to produce a precursor of a known histone deacetylase inhibitor.

A concise synthetic approach to a class of biologically interesting cyclic tetrapeptides is reported which involves a late-stage functionalization of a macrocyclic scaffold through cross metathesis in an attempt to create diversity. The utility of this protocol is demonstrated through the preparation of three structural analogues of the important naturally occurring histone deacetylase inhibitor FR-225497.

Chirality is one of the most important attributes for its presence in a vast majority of bioactive natural products and pharmaceuticals. Asymmetric organocatalysis methods have emerged as a powerful methodology for the construction of highly enantioenriched structural skeletons of the target molecules. Due to their extensive application of organocatalysis in the total synthesis of bioactive molecules and some of them have been used in the industrial synthesis of drugs have attracted increasing interests from chemists. Among the chiral organocatalysts, chiral secondary amines (MacMillan’s catalyst and Jorgensen’s catalyst) have been especially considered attractive strategies because of their impressive efficiency. Herein, we outline advances in the asymmetric total synthesis of natural products and relevant drugs by using the strategy of chiral secondary amine catalyzed reactions of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes in the last eighteen years.

Two equivalents of the title compound (1) react with one equivalent of primary alcohols to give good yields of nitrogen and 1-alkoxycarbonyl-2-N-phenylcarbamoyl-4-phenyl-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-di ones (3). With secondary alcohols or benzyl alcohol the major products are the ketone or benzaldehyde, while 3 are minor products. The latter can, however, be made the major products if pyridine is used to catalyze the reaction. Compound 3a dissociates on heating or in pyridine solution into the 1-methoxycarbonyltriazolidinedione 4.If alcohols are absent 1 is converted by pyridine or other tertiary amines into nitrogen and the bicyclic compound 9; if diethyl azodicarboxylate is present in the reaction compound 13 can be trapped.Primary and secondary amines react very rapidly with 1 to give nitrogen and complex products. It is likely that these are 1,2-dicarbamoyl-4-phenyltriazolidine diones, analogous to 3, and that they are very prone to dissociate in solution.
