Structures of nine oxygenated 4-methylene sterols from Hachijo marine sponge Theonella swinhoei

Nine new sterols have been isolated from a marine sponge, Theonella swinhoei.Of these, seven sterols were found to be conicasterol derivatives oxygenated at carbon-7 and/or carbon-15.The other two were (24R)-7β,8β-epoxy-14α-methoxy-4-methylene-24-methylcholestan-3β-ol and (24R)-8,14-seco-8,14-dioxo-4-methylene-24-methylcholestan-3β-ol. - Keywords: marine sterol; 4-methylene sterol; conicasterol derivatives; Theonella swinhoei; marine sponge

Sterically hindered (pyridyl)benzamidine palladium(II) complexes: Syntheses, structural studies, and applications as catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of olefins

Reactions of ligands (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L1), (E)-N′-(2,6-diisopropylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L2), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L3), (E)-N′-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)benzimidamide (L4), and (E)-N-(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)-N′-phenylbenzimidamide (L5) with [Pd(NCMe)2Cl2] furnished the corresponding palladium(II) precatalysts (Pd1–Pd5), in good yields. Molecular structures of Pd2 and Pd3 revealed that the ligands coordinate in a N^N bidentate mode to afford square planar compounds. Activation of the palladium(II) complexes with para-tolyl sulfonic acid (PTSA) afforded active catalysts in the methoxycarbonylation of a number of alkene. The resultant catalytic activities were controlled by the both the complex structure and alkene substrate. While aliphatic substrates favored the formation of linear esters (>70%), styrene substrate resulted in the formation of predominantly branched esters of up to 91%.

New ingenane and ingol diterpenoids from Euphorbia royleana

Phytochemical investigation on the 95% EtOH extract of the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Euphorbia royleana (Ba-wang-bian in Chinese) led to the isolation of 11 diterpenoids (1–11) and two triterpenoids (12 and 13). Among them, compounds 1 and 2 were new ingenane and ingol diterpenoids, respectively. Their structures were elucidated by a combination of spectroscopic analyses (1 D and 2 D NMR, HRMS, ECD, UV, and IR data) and chemical methods. Compounds 12 and 13 exhibited moderate cytotoxicities in vitro against human lung cancer cell line A549 with IC50 values of 14.84 ± 0.56 and 27.11 ± 1.65 μM, respectively.

Visible light-driven Giese reaction with alkyl tosylates catalysed by nucleophilic cobalt

The scope of the Giese reaction is expanded using readily available alkyl tosylates as substrates and nucleophilic cobalt(i) catalysts under visible-light irradiation. The reaction proceeds preferentially with less bulky primary alkyl tosylates. This unique reactivity enables the regio-selective Giese reaction of polyol derivatives.

Dammarane triterpenoids from Carnauba, Copernicia prunifera (Miller) H. E. Moore (Arecaceae), wax

Phytochemical investigation from carnauba (Copernicia prunifera) wax led to the identification of sixteen dammarane–type triterpenes, including thirteen new characterized as: (24R*)-methyldammara-20,25-dien-3α-ol and a mixture of alkyl (24R*)-methyldammar-25-en-20-ol-3β-carboxylates, together with three previously described triterpenes: carnaubadiol, (24R*)-methyldammara-20,25-dien-3β-ol and (24R*)-24-methyldammara-20,25-dien-3-one. Moreover, four fatty alcohols (eicosanol, docosanol, tetracosanol and hexacosanol) as well as four sterols (cholesterol, campesterol, stigmasterol, and sitosterol) were also obtained. These compounds were isolated using classical chromatographic methods and their structures were determined by spectroscopic and chemical methods.

Metathesis of renewable polyene feedstocks – Indirect evidences of the formation of catalytically active ruthenium allylidene species

Cross-metathesis (CM) of conjugated polyenes, such as 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (1) and α-eleostearic acid methyl ester (2) with several olefins, including 1-hexene, dimethyl maleate and cis-stilbene as model compounds has been carried out using (1,3-bis-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)-2-imidazolidinylidene)-dichloro(o-isopropoxyphenylmethylene)ruthenium (Hoveyda-Grubbs 2nd generation, HG2) catalyst. The feasibility of these reactions is demonstrated by the observed high conversions and reasonable yields. Thus, regardless of the relatively low electron density, =CH–CH= conjugated units of molecules, including compound 2 as a sustainable, non-foodstuff source, can be utilized as building blocks for the synthesis of various value-added chemicals via olefin metathesis. DFT-studies and the product spectrum of the self-metathesis of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene suggest that a Ru η1-allylidene complex is the active species in the reaction.

Pd-Catalyzed Regioselective Alkoxycarbonylation of 1-Alkenes Using a Lewis Acid [SnCl2 or Ti(OiPr)4] and a Phosphine

The phosphine ligand mediated palladium catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes was investigated with the objective of attaining good linear selectivity for the ester. The effect of various parameters such as solvents, additives, palladium precursors, CO pressures, and alkenes of various structural complexities were examined. The results revealed the importance of using a Lewis acid such as SnCl2 or Ti(OiPr)4 in combination with a monodentate ligand such CYTOP 292 or P(p-anisyl)3 to enhance the regioselectivity for the linear isomers in the range of 70-96%.
