- Total Synthesis of the Echinodermatous Ganglioside LLG-3 Possessing the Biological Function of Promoting the Neurite Outgrowth
-
A total synthesis of echinodermatous ganglioside LLG-3 with neuritogenic activity was accomplished by a convergent strategy. The synthesis of 2-hydroxyethyl 8-O-Me-α-sialoside 2 was started from the phenyl 7,8-di-O-Pico-thiosialoside 5, which can be chemoselectively removed the picoloyl group, and then the methyl group in 8-O-MeNeu5Ac moiety was chemoselectively prepared using TMSCHN2/FeCl3. For preparation of the terminal disialic unit, oxidative amidation was initially utilized by our group to efficiently construct the α(2,11) linkage of 8-O-Me-Neu5Acα(2,11)Neu5Gc. Herein, we also demonstrate that the synthesized ganglioside LLG-3 exhibited the neuritogenic activity toward the primary cortical neurons and that biological activity is superior to that of ganglioside DSG-A.

- Formal synthesis of (+)-isolaurepinnacin
-
The stereoselective formal synthesis of (+)-isolaurepinnacin is described. The required key oxepene skeleton possessing cis-oriented alkyl substituents at the α,ω-positions was stereoselectively constructed via the cyclization of the corresponding hydroxy epoxide promoted by the (Bu3Sn)2O/Zn(OTf)2 system.

- Synthesis of efficient chiral bisphosphine ligands, modified DIOPs, (4R,5R)-4-(Diaryl- or dialkylphosphino)methyl-5-(diarylphosphino)methyl-2,2- dimethyl-1,3-dioxolanes, and their use in rhodium(I)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations
-
Modified DIOPs, (4R,5R)-4-(diaryl- or dialkyphosphino)methyl-5- (diarylphosphino)methyl-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolanes, were prepared on the basis of our design concept, and used as ligands for the rhodium(I)-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenations of ketopantolactone, itaconic acid, dimethyl itaconate, and β-aryl-substituted itaconic acid derivatives. A neutral rhodium(I)-complex of (4R-trans)-dicyclohexyl[[5- [(diphenylphosphino)methyl]-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl]methyl]phosphine (DIOCP) bearing both a dicyclohexylphosphino group and a diphenylphosphino group was found to be a more efficient catalyst than the original DIOP in the asymmetric hydrogenation of ketopantolactone. Modified DIOPs bearing electron-donating groups at their para positions were efficient ligands for the rhodium(I)-catalyzed assymetric hydrogenations of itaconic acid and its derivatives; in particular, (4R-trans)-[(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolane-4,5- diyl)bis(methylene)]bis[bis(4'-methoxy-3',5'-dimethylphenyl)phosphine] (MOD- DIOP) bearing both a p-methoxy group and two m,m'-methyl groups on each phenyl group showed much higher enantioselectivity and catalytic activity than DIOP.

- Biomimetic Studies Using Artificial Systems. II. Enantioselective Thiolysis of D- or L-α-Amino Acid Ester Salts by Thiol-Bearing Chiral Crown Ethers as an Enzyme Model
-
The rates of transacylation were studied between thiol-bearing chiral crown ethers (1-10) and α-amino acid p-nitrophenyl ester salts.Enantioselectivities, kD/kL ratios, of 6.5 for valine ester salt, 8.7 for phenylalanine ester salt, and 7.7 for valine ester salt were achieved by 1, 5, and 8, respectively.Saturation phenomena of rate acceleration depending on crown concentration were observed and analysis of these data revealed that the chiral recognition occurs in the step of liberation of p-nitrophenol by intra-complex thiolysis, not in the complex-forming step.A possible mechanism for the anantioselectivity is proposed on the basis of the kinetic data.Keywords - crown ether; transacylation; pseudo-first-order rate constant; enantioselectivity; thiolysis; intra-complex reaction; enzyme model
