A Simple Synthesis of trans-Δ9-Isoambrettolide, Dihydroambrettolide, and Methyl 16-Acetoxy-9-hexadecenoate
Villemin, Didier
, p. 154 - 155 (1987)
Δ9-Isoambrettolide (2) and methyl 16-acetoxy-9-hexadecenoate (3) are prepared from aleuritic acid and dimethylformamide dialkyl acetals by a one-pot reaction.Catalytic hydrogenation of products 2 and 3 affords dihydroambrettolide (6) and methyl 16-acetoxyhexadecanoate (7), respectively.

The enantiospecificity of lipase-catalyzed lactonization of chiral (w-1)-hydroxy acids to form diolides in non-aqueous medium was investigated.

Di-2-methoxyethyl azodicarboxylate (DMEAD) is prepared in 65% yield in two steps as a crystalline solid. Use of DMEAD in the Mitsunobu reaction of a variety of alcohols with pronucleophiles results in good yields of the products under sufficient stereospecificity of inversion, as conventional diisopropyl azodicarboxylate (DIAD) does. Isolation of the product is, however, much easier with DMEAD than that with DIAD, because the hydrazine produced from DMEAD is highly hydrophilic and is completely separable by a simple extraction into neutral water. Purification of the organic layer, after separation of the other by-product, triphenylphosphane oxide, by filtration, easily provides high purity of the product in a good yield. Concentration of the water layer yields the hydrazine, which can be reused for the preparation of DMEAD. One-step removal of the two by-products by the aqueous extraction was also possible when trimethylphosphane and DMEAD were employed.

Macrolactones constitute a privileged class of natural and synthetic products with a broad range of applications in the fine chemicals and pharmaceutical industry. Despite all the progress made towards their synthesis, notably from seco-acids, a macrolactonization promoter system that is effective, selective, flexible, readily available, and, insofar as possible, compatible with manifold functional groups is still lacking. Herein, we describe a strategy that relies on the formation of a mixed anhydride incorporating a pentafluorophenyl group which, due to its high electronic activation enables a convenient access to macrolactones, macrodiolides and esters with a broad versatility. Kinetic studies and DFT computations were performed to rationalize the reactivity of the pentafluorophenyl group in macrolactonization reactions.
A General Catalytic Method for Highly Cost- and Atom-Efficient Nucleophilic Substitutions
Huy, Peter H.,Filbrich, Isabel

A general formamide-catalyzed protocol for the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides, which is promoted by substoichiometric amounts (down to 34 mol %) of inexpensive trichlorotriazine (TCT), is introduced. This is the first example of a TCT-mediated dihydroxychlorination of an OH-containing substrate (e.g., alcohols and carboxylic acids) in which all three chlorine atoms of TCT are transferred to the starting material. The consequently enhanced atom economy facilitates a significantly improved waste balance (E-factors down to 4), cost efficiency, and scalability (>50 g). Furthermore, the current procedure is distinguished by high levels of functional-group compatibility and stereoselectivity, as only weakly acidic cyanuric acid is released as exclusive byproduct. Finally, a one-pot protocol for the preparation of amines, azides, ethers, and sulfides enabled the synthesis of the drug rivastigmine with twofold SN2 inversion, which demonstrates the high practical value of the presented method.
