Mechanism Of The Reaction

The intramolecular aldol condensation of aldohexos-5-ulose derivatives of the D-xylo and L-ribo stereoseries has been studied. Only one of the four possible inososes was isolated from both stereoseries in reasonable yields (30–38%). The results obtained, together with the previous findings for the L-arabino and L-lyxo stereoseries, allowed for the rationalisation of a mechanism of the reaction based on open-transition-state models and electron-withdrawing inductive effects. Complementary reductions of the intermediate inososes were possible by changing the reaction conditions, and two isomeric inositol derivatives were obtained with complete stereoselection from each inosose. The presented approach permits us to control the configuration of three out of the six stereocentres of the inositol frame and gives access to seven of the nine inositols. Noteworthy, for the D-xylo derivative, the two-step sequence (condensation followed by reduction with NaBH(OAc)3) represents the biomimetic synthesis of myo-inositol. Furthermore, the sugar-based pathway leads directly to enantiomerically pure selectively protected inositols and does not require any desymmetrisation procedure which is needed when myo-inositol and other achiral precursors are employed as starting materials. As an example of application of the method, the indirect selective protection of secondary inositols’ hydroxy functions, by placing specific protecting groups on the aldohexos-5-ulose precursor has been presented.

Mechanism Of The Reaction

Convenient preparations of synthetically useful acetals, a dithioacetal and an oxathiolan from the 2-acyl derivatives of 2-hydroxyaryl aldehydes under basic conditions are described. The mildness of the reaction conditions is illustrated by the formation of an ethoxycarbonyl -substituted dioxolan . The reaction is dependent upon an intramolecular acetyl group transfer and the mechanism of the reaction is discussed. Some broader implications of this type of acyl transfer are discussed.

Saponins are a structurally diverse class of natural glycosides that possess a broad spectrum of biological activities. They are composed of hydrophilic carbohydrate moiety and hydrophobic triterpenoid or steroid aglycon. Naturally occurring diosgenyl glycosides are the most abundant steroid saponins, and many of them exhibit various pharmacological properties. Herein, we present an overview of semisynthetic saponins syntheses–diosgenyl β-d-glycosaminosides (d-gluco and d-galacto). These glycosides possess a 2-amino group, which creates great possibilities for further modifications. A wide group of glycosyl donors, different N-protecting groups and various reaction conditions used for their synthesis are presented. In addition, this paper demonstrates the possibilities of chemical modifications of diosgenyl β-d-glycosaminosides, associated with functionalisation of the amino group. These provide N-acyl, N-alkyl, N,N-dialkyl, N-cinnamoyl, 2-ureido and 2-thiosemicarbazonyl derivatives of diosgenyl β-d-glycosaminosides, for which the results of biological activity tests (antifungal, antibacterial, anti-cancer and hemolytic) are presented.

A method for optical resolution of chiral acids is described. It consists of the conversion of racemic acids to diastereomeric amides, their chromatographic separation and subsequent deamidation via the nitrosamide route. Reaction conditions for cleavage of amide derivatives of phenylalanine and methylbenzylamine are given. No or only negligible racemization of carboxylic acids, chiral in α-position takes place under those conditions. The extent of Ε,Ζ-isomerization of double bonds is very small, as is the extent of double bond migration from the Δ3-position into conjugation with the carboxyl function. Enantiomerically pure R- or S[2-3H]2-methylbutanoic acid and (-)methyl-3(p-chlorophenyl)-2-chloropropionate (Bidisin®) were prepared by this procedure.

1. We describe the use of benzyloxycarbonylmethionine and ethoxycarbonylmethionine for the selective protection of the amino groups of glycine-A1 and lysine-B29 of pig insulin. We have used the Edman method to remove residues from the N-terminal and of the B-chain of the NA1NB29-di-protected derivatives. The benzyloxycarbonyl group shows slight but noticeable lability in the acid-cleavage step, but the ethoxycarbonyl group remained intact even after five cycles of degradation. 2. We have prepared the following truncated forms of insulin via the di(ethoxycarbonylmethionyl) derivative: des-PheB1-insulin;des-(PheB1-ValB2)-insulin; des-(PheB1-ValB2-AsnB3)-insulin;des- (PheB1-ValB2-AsnB3-GlnB4)-insulin; des-(PheB1-ValB2-AsnB3 -GlnB4-HisB5)-insulin. 3. Insulin was re-synthesized from the di-protected des-PheB1-insulin by reaction with an active ester of t-butoxycarbonyl-l-phenylalanine. The product after deprotection crystallized, and the immunoreactivity of the crystalline material was identical with that of the native protein. 4. We have prepared the following analogues of insulin in a similar manner: [l-AlaB1]insulin; [l-ValB1]insulin; [l-TyrB1]insulin; [m-F-l-PheB1]insulin; [o-F-l-PheB1]-insulin; [o-F-l-PheB2]des-PheB1-insulin. All had between 34 and 62% of the activity of insulin in the fat-cell test. 5. We have also investigated the use of the benzyol, toluene-p-sulphonyl, p-nitrobenzyloxycarbonyl and 2,4-dinitrophenyl groups for the N-protection of the methionine active esters. Each should have had some particular advantage over the benzyloxycarbonyl and ethoxycarbonyl groups, but all proved in practice to have disadvantages that more than outweighed anything in their favour.

: Deprotection is significant and conducted over mild reaction conditions, in order to restrict any more side reactions with sensitive functional groups as well as racemization or epimerization of stereo center because the protective groups are often cleaved at last stage in the synthesis. P - Methoxy benzyl (PMB) ether appears unique due to its easy introduction and removal than the other benzyl ether protecting groups. A facile, efficient and highly selective cleavage of P - methoxy benzyl ethers was reported by using 20 mole% Zinc (II) Trifluoromethanesulfonate at room temperature in acetonitrile solvent over 15-120 min. time period. To study the generality of this methodology, several PMB ethers were prepared from a variety of substrates having different protecting groups and subjected to deprotection of PMB ethers using Zn(OTf)2 in acetonitrile. In this methodology, zinc triflate cleaves only PMB ethers without affecting acid sensitivity, base sensitivity and also chiral epoxide groups.

Background: Hafnium(IV) tetrachloride efficiently catalyzes the protection of a variety of aldehydes and ketones, including benzophenone, acetophenone, and cyclohexanone, to the corresponding dimethyl acetals and 1,3-dioxolanes, under microwave heating. Substrates possessing acid-labile protecting groups (TBDPS and Boc) chemoselectively generated the corresponding acetal/ketal in excellent yields. Aim and Objective: In this study. the selective protection of aldehydes and ketones using a Hafnium(IV) chloride, which is a novel catalyst, under microwave heating was observed. Hence, it is imperative to find suitable conditions to promote the protection reaction in high yields and short reaction times. This study was undertaken not only to find a novel catalyst but also to perform the reaction with substrates bearing acid-labile protecting groups, and study the more challenging ketones as benzophenone. Materials and Methods: Using a microwave synthesis reactor Monowave 400 of Anton Paar, the protection reaction was performed on a raging temperature of 100°C ±1, a pressure of 2.9 bar, and an electric power of 50 W. More than 40 substrates have been screened and protected, not only the aldehydes were protected in high yields but also the more challenging ketones such as benzophenone were protected. All the products were purified by simple flash column chromatography, using silica gel and hexanes/ethyl acetate (90:10) as eluents. Finally, the protected substrates were characterized by NMR 1H, 13C and APCI-HRMS-QTOF. Results: Preliminary screening allowed us to find that 5 mol % of the catalyst is enough to furnish the protected aldehyde or ketone in up to 99% yield. Also it was found that substrates with a variety of substitutions on the aromatic ring (aldehyde or ketone), that include electron-withdrawing and electrondonating group, can be protected using this methodology in high yields. The more challenging cyclic ketones were also protected in up to 86% yield. It was found that trimethyl orthoformate is a very good additive to obtain the protected acetophenone. Finally, the protection of aldehydes with sensitive functional groups was performed. Indeed, it was found that substrates bearing acid labile groups such as Boc and TBDPS, chemoselectively generated the corresponding acetal/ketal compound while keeping the protective groups intact in up to 73% yield. Conclusion: Hafnium(IV) chloride as a catalyst provides a simple, highly efficient, and general chemoselective methodology for the protection of a variety of structurally diverse aldehydes and ketones. The major advantages offered by this method are: high yields, low catalyst loading, air-stability, and non-toxicity.

Aziridine ring cleavage reactions of five N-nosylepimines (2-6) having D-talo, D-galacto, D-manno, and D-allo configurations with potassium hydrogendifluoride under various reaction conditions have been performed. The cleavage regioselectively afforded diaxial isomers of vicinal amino-fluoro derivatives of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-gluco- and mannopyranose 7-11 in 51-94% yields. Removal of 2-nitrobenzenesulfonyl protecting group with benzenethiol has been attempted in the case of compound 10.

The trans-2-deoxyribosylation of 4-thiouracil (4SUra) and 2-thiouracil (2SUra), as well as 6-azauracil, 6-azathymine and 6-aza-2-thiothymine was studied using dG and E. coli purine nucleoside phosphorylase (PNP) for the in situ generation of 2-deoxy-α-D-ribofuranose-1-phosphate (dRib-1P) followed by its coupling with the bases catalyzed by either E. coli thymidine (TP) or uridine (UP) phosphorylases. 4SUra revealed satisfactory substrate activity for UP and, unexpectedly, complete inertness for TP; no formation of 2’-deoxy-2-thiouridine (2SUd) was observed under analogous reaction conditions in the presence of UP and TP. On the contrary, 2SU, 2SUd, 4STd and 2STd are good substrates for both UP and TP; moreover, 2SU, 4STd and 2’-deoxy-5-azacytidine (Decitabine) are substrates for PNP and the phosphorolysis of the latter is reversible. Condensation of 2SUra and 5-azacytosine with dRib-1P (Ba salt) catalyzed by the accordant UP and PNP in Tris∙HCl buffer gave 2SUd and 2’-deoxy-5-azacytidine in 27% and 15% yields, respectively. 6-Azauracil and 6-azathymine showed good substrate properties for both TP and UP, whereas only TP recognizes 2-thio-6-azathymine as a substrate. 5-Phenyl and 5-tert-butyl derivatives of 6-azauracil and its 2-thioxo derivative were tested as substrates for UP and TP, and only 5-phenyl- and 5-tert-butyl-6-azauracils displayed very low substrate activity. The role of structural peculiarities and electronic properties in the substrate recognition by E. coli nucleoside phosphorylases is discussed.

The direct synthesis of sterically hindered, partially etherified derivatives of tetrakis(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethene is reported by using the McMurry reductive olefination reaction on a range of differentially substituted 2,2′-dialkoxy benzophenone substrates. Three orthogonal protection strategies are demonstrated, incorporating β-silylethyl, 3-butenyl, and tert-butyl protecting groups, respectively, into the starting benzophenones. The latter proved most efficient, with both the McMurry coupling and deprotection steps occurring concomitantly under the McMurry conditions to directly yield the desired bis(2-hydroxyphenyl)-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)ethene as a 1:1 mixture of E- and Z-diastereoisomers.Key words: preorganized polyaryloxide ligands, McMurry olefination, titanium trichloride, supramolecular chemistry, tetrakis(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethene, 2,2′-disubstituted benzophenone.
