- Quantitation of (R)- and (S)-Linalool in Beer Using Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) in Combination with a Stable Isotope Dilution Assay (SIDA)
-
A stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) was developed for the quantitation of both linalool enantiomers using synthesized [2H 2]R/S-linalool as the internal standard. For enrichment of the target compound from beer, a solid phase microextraction method (SPME) was developed. In comparison to the more time-consuming extraction/distillation cleanup of the beer samples, the results obtained by SPME/SIDA were very similar, even under nonequilibration conditions. Analysis of five different types of beer showed significant differences in the linalool concentrations, which were clearly correlated with the intensity of the hoppy aroma note as evaluated by a sensory panel. In addition, significant differences in the R/S ratios were measured in the beers. The SPME/SIDA yielded exact data independently from headspace sampling parameters, such as exposure time or ionic strength of the solution.

- Bridgehead Modifications of Englerin A Reduce TRPC4 Activity and Intravenous Toxicity but not Cell Growth Inhibition
-
Modifications at the bridgehead position of englerin A were made to explore the effects of variation at this site on the molecule for biological activity, as judged by the NCI 60 screen, in which englerin A is highly potent and selective for renal cancer cells. Replacement of the isopropyl group by other, larger substituents yielded compounds which displayed excellent selectivity and potency comparable to the natural product. Selected compounds were also evaluated for their effect on the ion channel TRPC4 as well as for intravenous toxicity in mice, and these had lower potency in both assays compared to englerin A.

- Method for efficiently preparing alkynol
-
The invention relates to a method for efficiently preparing alkynol, belongs to the field of preparation of chemical intermediates and chemicals, and particularly relates to a preparation method of alkynol. The preparation method comprises the following steps that 1, alkali metal is added into an anhydrous alcohols solvent; an alcohol-alkali metal solution is prepared; 2, a compound I is added into the alcohol-alkali metal solution; uniform stirring is performed; cooling is performed to be 0 DEG C or below; 3, acetylene is introduced through being metered at normal pressure; alkynol is obtained; 4, the alkynol solution after reaction is neutralized by ammonium chloride and a same alcohol mixed suspension system; 5, the neutralized mixed suspension system is filtered; after alcohols are recovered from filter liquid, reduced pressure distillation is performed to obtain an alkynol product. The method overcomes the defect that under the existing harsh reaction conditions of high pressure,liquid ammonia and the like, the solid potassium hydroxide feeding difficulty is avoided; under the ordinary pressure condition, the ketone compounds are converted into alkynol at high conversion rate. The method has the advantages of high conversion rate, simple process and good product purity.

- α,β-Unsaturated Gold(I) Carbenes by Tandem Cyclization and 1,5-Alkoxy Migration of 1,6-Enynes: Mechanisms and Applications
-
1,6-Enynes bearing OR groups at the propargyl position generate α,β-unsaturated gold(I)-carbenes/ gold(I) stabilized allyl cations that can be trapped by alkenes to form cyclopropanes or 1,3-diketones to give products of α-alkylation. The best migrating group is p-nitrophenyl ether, which leads to the corresponding products without racemization. Thus, an improved formal synthesis of (+)-schisanwilsonene A has been accomplished. The different competitive reaction pathways have been delineated computationally.

- Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of New (-)-Englerin Analogues
-
We report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of (-)-englerin A analogues obtained along our previously reported synthetic route based on a stereoselective gold(I) cycloaddition process. This synthetic route is a convenient platform to access analogues with broad structural diversity and has led us to the discovery of unprecedented and easier-to-synthesize derivatives with an unsaturation in the cyclopentyl ring between C4 and C5. We also introduce novel analogues in which the original isopropyl motif has been substituted with cyclohexyl, phenyl, and cyclopropyl moieties. The high selectivity and growth-inhibitory activity shown by these new derivatives in renal cancer cell lines opens new ways toward the final goal of finding effective drugs for the treatment of renal cell carcinoma (RCC).

- Facile Alder-Ene Reactions of Silylallenes Involving an Allenic C(sp2)-H Bond
-
Facile and selective Alder-ene reactions of silylallenes involving the activation of an allenic C(sp2)-H over an allylic C(sp3)-H bond is described. In this ene reaction, the presence of a silyl substituent was found to be critical for the observed reactivity and selectivity since the corresponding alkyl-substituted allenes show different reaction profiles. Computational studies show that the origin of this unusual reactivity is the lower bond dissociation energy of the α-C(sp2)-H bond in silylallenes compared to the corresponding nonsilylated allenes.

- Transport of ethyne in form of alpha-alkynols as ethyne precursors
-
The present invention relates to a new method for a safe transport of ethyne in form of α-alkynols as precursors for ethyne. The new method comprises three steps. In a first step the synthesis of the α-alkynol(s) is performed by reacting ethyne with (a) carbonyl compound(s). The second step comprises the transport of the resulting α-alkynol(s) in a safe manner, whereas the safety requirements for this transport are not as high as for ethyne because α-alkynol(s) are normally classified for transportation as hazardous class 3. In the third step the α-alkynol(s) can be cleaved and the ethyne and the carbonyl compound(s) can be obtained in the cleavage reaction and can be separated to yield pure products for further applications.

- Platinum- and gold-catalyzed rearrangement reactions of propargyl acetates: Total syntheses of (-)-α-cubebene, (-)-cubebol, sesquicarene and related terpenes
-
Propargyl acetates, in the presence of catalytic amounts of late transition-metal salts such as PtCl2 or AuCl3, represent synthetic equivalents of α-diazoketones. This notion is corroborated by a concise approach to various sesquiterpene natural products starting from readily available substrates. Specifically, (+)-carvomenthone (17) is converted into propargyl acetate (S)-26 by a sequence involving Stille cross-coupling of its kinetic enol triflate 18, regioselective hydroboration/oxidation of the resulting 1,3-diene 19, and addition of an alkynyl cerium reagent to aldehyde 21 thus obtained. Since the latter step was found to be unselective, the configuration of the reacting propargyl acetate was unambiguously set by oxidation followed by diastereoselective transfer hydrogenation by using Noyori's catalyst 25. Compound (5)-26, on treatment with PtCl2 in toluene, converted exclusively to the tricyclic enol acetate 27, which was sap onified to give norcubebone 11 in excellent overall yield. The conversion of this compound into the sesquiterpene alcohol (-)-cubebol (6) was best achieved with MeCeCl2 as the nucleophile, whereas the formation-of the parent hydrocarbon (-)-α-cubebene (4) was effected in excellent yield by recourse to iron-catalyzed cross coupling methodology developed in this laboratory. Since norketone 11 has previously been transformed into (-)-β-cubebene (5) as well as (-)-4-epicubebol 8, our approach constitutes formal total syntheses of these additional natural products as well. Along similar lines, the readily available propargyl acetates 1, 33 and 47 were shown to give access to 2-carene 44, sesquicarene 39, and episesquicarene 51 in excellent overall yields. In this series, however, the cy cloisomerization reaction was best achieved with catalytic amounts of AuCl3 in 1,2-dichloroethane as the solvent. In addition to these preparative results, our data provide some insight into the mechanism of these remarkable skeletal rearrangement reactions. Transformations of this type are likely triggered by initial coordination of the alkyne unit of the substrate to the carbophilic transition-metal cation. Formal attack of the alkene moiety onto the resulting π-complex engenders the formation of an electrophilic cyclopropyl carbene species which subsequently reacts with the adjacent acetate unit to give the final product. The alternative phasing of events, implying initial attack of the acetate (rather than the alkene moiety) onto the metal-alkyne complex, is inconsistent with the stereochemioal data obtained during this total synthesis campaign.

- PtCl2-mediated cycloisomerization of unsaturated propargylic carboxylates
-
The PtCl2-mediated cycloisomerization of unsaturated propargylic carboxylates yields differently functionalized bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane enol esters from moderate to good yield, in a very diastereoselective manner. We have prepared and submitted to PtCl2-catalyzed cycloisomerization a series of differently substituted hept-1-en-6-ynes with different O-acyl (acetyl, trichloroacetyl, 3,4,5-trimethoxybenzoyl, etc.) protecting groups at propargylic positions, investigating also the effect of the geometry at the double bond, as well as the effect of the number of substituents at the alkene moiety. As a result, we have found that the O-acetyl migrating group is the best one in terms of simplicity and chemical yields. In this reaction we have isolated mixtures of compounds formed by minor 1-acetoxy-allenes and major bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane derivatives. Major products are the result of a sequential process involving steps of cycloisomerization plus cyclopropanation, followed by acyl migration. The basic methanolysis (K2CO3, MeOH) of these intermediates gave mixtures of cis and trans-caran-2-ones. This two-step protocol (cycloisomerization plus basic methanolysis) for the syntheses of α,β-unsaturated cyclopropyl ketones constitutes a synthetic alternative to the usual unfriendly, intramolecular cyclopropanation of unsaturated α-diazocarbonyl derivatives. The formation of these bicyclo[4.1.0]heptane derivatives is a simple, but efficient entry into the skeleton of the 'carane' family of natural products.

The Claisen-based methodology was extended to the first synthesis of the marine benzoquinones verapliquinones A and B (5 and 6), and panicein A (7). Isoarnebifuranone (9) was also synthesized by a similar strategy.

- Mechanistic dichotomy in CpRu(CH3CN)3PF6 catalyzed enyne cycloisomerizations
-
Enynes are easily accessible building blocks as a result of the rich chemistry of alkynes and thus represent attractive substrates for ring formation, A ruthenium catalyst for cycloisomerization effects such reaction of 1,6- and 1,7-enynes typically at room temperature in acetone or DMF under neutral conditions. The reaction is effective for forming five- and six-membered rings of widely divergent structure. The alkyne may bear both election-donating and election-withdrawing substituents. The alkene may be di- or trisubstituted. Introduction of a quaternary center at the propargylic position of an ynoate, however, completely changes the nature of the reaction. In the case of a 1,6-enynoate, a seven-membered ring forms in excellent yield under equally mild conditions. Evidence is presented to indicate a complete change in mechanism. In the former case, the reaction involves the intermediacy of a ruthenacyclopentene. In the latter case, a C-H insertion to form a π-allylruthenium intermediate is proposed and supported by deuterium-labeling studies. A rationale is presented for the structural dependence of the mechanism.
