Synthetic Study of the Angular Tetracyclic Core Skeleton of Landmycine A via Masamune-Bergman Cyclization

We describe the synthesis, via Masamune-Bergman cyclization, of an angucycline derivative involving a quinone in the B ring and a nonaromatic hydroxylated C ring. The naphthoquinone was synthesized via the copper-catalyzed Ullmann reaction of the dihalo aryl moiety, and the subsequent oxidation of a corresponding hydroquinone. The aryl dihalide was prepared by the dihalogenation of the 1,4-diradical generated during the Masamune-Bergman cyclization of the 1,2- dialkynylbenzene under neutral conditions. This methodology suggests a new route for the construction of natural products containing an anthraquinone skeleton.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text (Source: Synlett)

The Recent Development of Phosphine Ligands Derived from 2-Phosphino-Substituted Heterocycles and Their Applications in Palladium-Catalyzed Cross-Coupling Reactions

SynlettDOI: 10.1055/s-0031-1290672AbstractHeterocyclic phosphines have long been used as unique and efficient ligands for palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. The simplest ligand, trifurylphosphine, has become one of the most classical heterocyclic phosphines for coupling reactions since its first application in the Stille coupling reaction in 1988. In recent decades, palladium catalyst systems derived from highly diverse and innovative heterocyclic phosphines have shown excellent catalytic activities in cross-coupling reactions. In this account, we discuss the recent development and applications of heterocyclic phosphine ligands, highlighting the synthetic pathways used to prepare the ligands. The sections are categorized by the different palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling method...

SynlettDOI: 10.1055/s-0031-1290601AbstractThe palladium/copper cocatalyzed sila-Sonogashira reaction of (hetero)arylethynysilanes with (hetero)aryl bromides in toluene and water at 40 ?C under PTC conditions gave the required di(hetero)arylethynes in moderate to high yields. Activated, deactivated and ortho-substituted (hetero)aryl bromides are well tolerated. This protocol also allowed the preparation of symmetrical diarylethynes by double arylation of 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyl)ethyne.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart ?

LiAlH4-Induced Reductive Dephosphonylation of ?,?-Dialkyl Triethyl ?-Phosphonyl Esters: Mechanistic Study and Synthetic Application

SynlettDOI: 10.1055/s-0031-1290485Treatment of ?,?-dialkyl triethyl ?-phosphonyl esters with LiAlH4 in CH2Cl2-THF caused the one-pot dephosphonylation and reduction to yield the corresponding primary alcohols bearing a controllable ? secondary carbon center. Mechanistic study has revealed that the LiAlH4-induced dephosphonylation should occur first with the assistance of the carboxylate group, and the hydrogen source of the resultant new C-H bond is LiAlH4.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals:Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text (Source: Synlett)

Asymmetric Alkyne Addition to Aldehydes Catalyzed by BINOL and Its Derivatives

SynlettDOI: 10.1055/s-0031-1290530AbstractThis Account describes our research over the past decade in the asymmetric alkyne addition to aldehydes to generate optically active propargylic alcohols. Our methods employ a dialkylzinc reagent to react with a terminal alkyne to form an alkynylzinc nucleophile, and can be grouped into the BINOL-catalyzed reactions and the functionalized BINOL catalyzed reactions. We first describe the development of the BINOL-ZnEt2-Ti(Oi-Pr)4 catalyst system, and its modification through the use of Lewis base additives to form the alkynylzinc at room temperature. The substrate scope compatible with these methods and the enantioselectivities achieved are discussed. We then describe the functionalized BINOL and H8BINOL catalyst systems, which can be further divided...

A Diels-Alder Approach to Anthrapyran Antibiotics

SynlettDOI: 10.1055/s-0031-1290529AbstractA new entry to the synthesis of anthrapyran antibiotics has been accomplished through the synthesis of a 4H-anthra[1,2-b]pyran-4,7,12-trione model. The key step features a Diels-Alder reaction between a substituted 5-vinyl-3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran and naphthoquinone as the dienophile. The resulting tetracyclic adduct is then processed towards the targeted trione in a few steps.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart ?

C-1 Alkynylation of N-Methyltetrahydroisoquinolines through CDC: A Direct Access to Phenethylisoquinoline Alkaloids

SynlettDOI: 10.1055/s-0031-1290532AbstractDirect cross-coupling between N-methyltetrahydroisoquinolines and alkynes using CuI-DEAD is presented. It affords the regioselective C-1-alkynylated products in good yield. This regio­selectivity is in contrast to the results reported earlier in the reaction of N,N-dimethylbenzyl amine where the N-methyl alkynylated product was formed exclusively or predominantly. The C-1-substituted propargylic isoquinolines were easily reduced to phenethylisoquinolines with Pd/C. This reaction sequence provides a short route to synthesize methopholine, homolaudanosine and other phenethylisoquinoline alkaloids.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart ?

An Approach to exo-Enol Ether - Cyclic Ketal Structures Found in Marine Cembranoids, Based on Silver-Assisted Cyclisations of Enynone Precursors

SynlettDOI: 10.1055/s-0031-1290363AbstractTreatment of a solution of the (E)-enynone 17 in methanol with AgNO3 leads to cyclisation and isolation of the substituted furan 25 in >95% yield, rather than the anticipated exo-enol ether-cyclic ketal structure 24. By contrast, a similar Ag-mediated cyclisation of the related substituted enynone 20 led to the exo-enol ether-cyclic ketal structure 28 (50%) alongside the substituted furan 29 (45%). The outcomes of these silver-assisted enynone cyclisations are compared and contrasted with earlier studies with acid-catalysed reactions of furanoepoxides, for example 7, which also lead to exo-enol ether-cyclic ketals, viz. 1, and to substituted furanmethanol products, that is, 10.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart ?

2-(Diphenylphosphino)benzoyl-Substituted Calix[4]arene: Efficient Organocatalyst in Aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman Reaction of N-Sulfonated Imines with Methyl Vinyl Ketone

SynlettDOI: 10.1055/s-0031-1290358AbstractA novel bifunctional organocatalyst 5,11,17,23-tetra­butyl-25-[2-(diphenylphosphino)benzoate]-26,27,28-trihydroxycalix-[4]arene (LB3) was synthesized and applied to promote the aza-Morita-Baylis-Hillman (aza-MBH) reaction of N-sulfonated im­ines with methyl vinyl ketone. It was found that in the presence of acidic additives the reaction rate could be accelerated to give aza-MBH adducts in good to excellent yields. Compared to our previous phosphine-containing calix[4]arene LB1, the novel catalyst was more effective.[...]© Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart ?
