- Novel highly efficient absolute optical resolution method by serial combination of two asymmetric reactions from acetylene monomers having racemic substituents
-
For general optical resolution, an optical resolution agent is necessary, and the best agent should be selected for each racemic compound. In this study, we will report that a novel optical resolution method by circularly polarized light (CPL) without any

- Visible-Light-Promoted Metal-Free Synthesis of (Hetero)Aromatic Nitriles from C(sp3)?H Bonds**
-
The metal-free activation of C(sp3)?H bonds to value-added products is of paramount importance in organic synthesis. We report the use of the commercially available organic dye 2,4,6-triphenylpyrylium tetrafluoroborate (TPP) for the conversion of methylarenes to the corresponding aryl nitriles via a photocatalytic process. Applying this methodology, a variety of cyanobenzenes have been synthesized in good to excellent yield under metal- and cyanide-free conditions. We demonstrate the scope of the method with over 50 examples including late-stage functionalization of drug molecules (celecoxib) and complex structures such as l-menthol, amino acids, and cholesterol derivatives. Furthermore, the presented synthetic protocol is applicable for gram-scale reactions. In addition to methylarenes, selected examples for the cyanation of aldehydes, alcohols and oximes are demonstrated as well. Detailed mechanistic investigations have been carried out using time-resolved luminescence quenching studies, control experiments, and NMR spectroscopy as well as kinetic studies, all supporting the proposed catalytic cycle.

- Zn-Catalyzed tert-Butyl Nicotinate-Directed Amide Cleavage as a Biomimic of Metallo-Exopeptidase Activity
-
A two-step catalytic amide-to-ester transformation of primary amides under mild reaction conditions has been developed. A tert-butyl nicotinate (tBu nic) directing group is easily introduced onto primary amides via Pd-catalyzed amidation with tert-butyl 2-chloronicotinate. A weak base (Cs2CO3 or K2CO3) at 40-50 °C can be used provided that 1,1′-bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)ferrocene is selected as ligand. The tBu nic activated amides subsequently allow Zn(OAc)2-catalyzed nonsolvolytic alcoholysis in tBuOAc at 40-60 °C under neutral reaction conditions. The activation mechanism is biomimetic: the C3-ester substituent of the pyridine in the directing group populates the trans-conformer suitable for Zn-chelation, C=Oamide-Zn-Ndirecting group, and Zn-coordinated alcohol is additionally activated as a nucleophile by hydrogen bonding with the acetate ligand of the catalyst. Additionally, the acetate ligand assists in intramolecular O-to-N proton transfer. The chemoselectivity versus other functional groups and compatibility with challenging reaction partners, such as peptides, sugars, and sterols, illustrates the synthetic applicability of this two-step amide cleavage method. The tBu nic amides do not require purification before cleavage. Preliminary experiments also indicate that other weak nucleophiles can be used such as (hetero)arylamines (transamidation) as exemplified by 8-aminoquinoline.

- Synthesis, antimicrobial evaluation, and QSAR analysis of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol derivatives
-
A series of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for their antibacterial activity against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis and Gram-negative Escherichia coli and in vitro antifungal activity against Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger. The results of antimicrobial activity demonstrated that the compounds 10, 20, and 21 were the most active ones among the synthesized compounds. The QSAR studies revealed the importance of dipole moment (μ), total energy (Te), and topological parameters (κ1 and κ3) in describing the antimicrobial activity of 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanol derivatives.

- Dimethylmalonyltrialkylphosphoranes: New general reagents for esterification reactions allowing controlled inversion or retention of configuration on chiral alcohols
-
A new class of trialkylphosphorane has been prepared through reaction of a trialkylphosphine with 2-chlorodimethylmalonate in the presence of triethylamine. These new reagents promote the condensation reaction of carboxylic acids with alcohols to provide esters along with trialkylphosphine oxide and dimethylmalonate. The condensation reaction of chiral secondary alcohols can be controlled to give either high levels of inversion or retention through a subtle interplay involving basicity of the reaction media, solvent, and tuning the electronic and steric nature of the carboxylic acid and steric nature of the phosphorane employed. A coherent mechanism is postulated to explain these observations involving reaction via an initial acyloxyphosphonium ion.

- PHOSPHORANES AS COUPLING AGENTS AND THEIR PREPARATION

Provided is a use as a coupling agent for condensation reactions of a compound of formula (I): wherein each of R1, R2, and R3 is independently H, hydrocarbyl, or hydrocarbyloxy, provided that not more than one of R1, R2, and R3 is H ; and at least one of Y1 and Y2 is an electron-withdrawing group and the other, if not an electron-withdrawing group, is H or a group that has no electron-donating properties, with the proviso that when one of Y1 and Y2 is H, the other is not -CN. Some of the compounds of formula (I) are novel, and methods of their preparation are also provided.

- Substituent Effect on the Enantiomer-Differentiating Reaction of Lithiomethyl p-Tolyl Sulfoxide with Meta- or Para-Substituted (R)-(-)-Menthyl Benzoates
-
Treatment of (R)-(-)-menthyl benzoates, which have a variety of meta- or para-substituents, with 2 equivalents of racemic lithiomethyl p-tolyl sulfoxide displays the feature of an enantiomer-differentiating reaction, affording the corresponding optically active β-keto sulfoxides.The degree and the direction of enantioselectivity were affected by the nature of the substituent on benzene ring.The electron-releasing substituents trend to increase the percente.e. value.The reversal in the configuration with the variation in the substituent which has a high electron-withdrawing p-CN group was also observed.The R/S values thus obtained gave a good correlation with Hammett's ? values (γ = 0.975), affording a negative straight line. based on these observations, a plausible stereochemical course of this reaction has been discussed.
