, p. 6 - 9 (2018)
The studies on the chemoenzymatic synthesis of 2-benzyl-3-butenoic acid 3 were performed. The alkylation of dienolates derived from the crotonic and vinylacetic acids with different types of alkylating agents was examined. In all cases the inseparable mixture of isomeric acids 3 and 4 were obtained. Chemoselective enzymatic esterification of those mixtures provides ester 6 in 86% yield as a single product without double bond isomerization. None common method can be used for its hydrolysis since under basic conditions only isomeric acid 5 is formed. To overcome this limitation enzyme catalysed hydrolysis process was design. This protocol afforded isomerically pure acid 3 in 98% yield.

We report herein a direct method to synthesize 4-aryl-3-butenoic acid through a carboxylic-acid-directed oxidative Heck reaction. The various 4-aryl-3-butenoic acids are easily prepared in moderate to good yields. In view of the promising bioactivity of 4-phenyl-3-butenoic acid previously reported, its derivatives reported here may be bioactive.

Conjugated dienes underwent Ni-catalyst-promoted 1,2-hydrocarboxylation in a 1:1 ratio with carbon dioxide under atmospheric pressure in the presence of diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL-H) to give the corresponding β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids, without dimerization or oligomerization of the conjugated diene.

A practical copper-catalyzed highly regioselective 1,2-hydrocarboxylation of terminal 1,3-diene with carbon dioxide has been developed. Under mild reaction conditions, this chemistry afforded 2-benzyl-β,γ-unsaturated acid derivatives as products, which are a kind of important unit for bio-active molecules and versatile precursors for organic synthesis, with good functional group tolerance. The key intermediate in this transformation is illustrated by control experiments.
Studies on the Synthesis of Endocyclic Enol Lactones via a RCM of Selected Vinyl Esters

, p. 8655 - 8661 (2018/06/22)
The novel and efficient approach toward the synthesis of endocyclic enol lactones was devised based on ring-closing metathesis of unsaturated carboxylic acids vinyl esters. Systematic studies revealed that vinyl esters are suitable substrates for RCM reaction. The developed methodology offers an easy route for synthetically challenging target molecules with different functional groups and substitution. We have also demonstrated that vinyl esters of cyclic carboxylic acids can be successfully applied for domino ring-opening ring-closing metathesis sequences.
Reversible C-C bond activation enables stereocontrol in Rh-catalyzed carbonylative cycloadditions of aminocyclopropanes

Upon exposure to neutral or cationic Rh(I)-catalyst systems, amino-substituted cyclopropanes undergo carbonylative cycloaddition with tethered alkenes to provide stereochemically complex N-heterocyclic scaffolds. These processes rely upon the generation and trapping of rhodacyclopentanone intermediates, which arise by regioselective, Cbz-directed insertion of Rh and CO into one of the two proximal aminocyclopropane C-C bonds. For cyclizations using cationic Rh(I)-systems, synthetic and mechanistic studies indicate that rhodacyclopentanone formation is reversible and that the alkene insertion step determines product diastereoselectivity. This regime facilitates high levels of stereocontrol with respect to substituents on the alkene tether. The option of generating rhodacyclopentanones dynamically provides a new facet to a growing area of catalysis and may find use as a (stereo)control strategy in other processes.
Synthetic approaches to the microtubule-Sabilizing sponge alkaloid ceratamine A and desbromo analogues

Two synthetic approaches to the microtubule-stabilizing ceratamine alkaloids are described. The first approach involved attempts to graft an aminoimidazole moiety onto an azepine ring to form partially hydrogenated versions of the unprecedented aromatic imidazo[4,5-d]azepine core of the ceratamines. This route ultimately failed because it was not possible to aromatize the partially hydrogenated ceratamine intermediates. A second approach started with tribromoimidazole that was sequentially metalated and functionalized to efficiently generate a key imidazole intermediate containing vinyl bromide and amide functionalities. An intramolecular Buchwald vinyl amidation reaction converted this key intermediate into a bicyclic imidazo[4,5-d]azepine that was at the same oxidation state as the aromatic core of the ceratamines. The 2-amino functionality present on the imidazole ring of the ceratamines was installed using a Buchwald/Hartwig amination reaction on a 2-chloroimidazole precursor. Deprotection and aromatization resulted in the first synthesis of desbromoceratamine A (55) and desmethyldesbromoceratamine A (60). An unanticipated addition of atmospheric oxygen was encountered during deprotection of the imidazole ring in the last step of the synthesis leading to C-11 oxygenated ceratamine analogues as byproducts. Evaluation of the synthetic ceratamines in a TG3 cell-based assay for mitotic arrest revealed that the C-14 and C-16 bromine substituents in ceratamine A (1) play a major role in the antimitotic potency of the natural product. The synthetic route to ceratamine analogues has provided sufficient quantities of desbromoceratamine A (55) for testing in mouse models of cancer.

An access to (Z)-ethylenic pseudodipeptides based on ring-closing metathesis
Boucard, Valérie,Sauriat-Dorizon, Hélène,Guibé, Fran?ois
, p. 7275 - 7290 (2007/10/03)
A new access to enantiopure (Z)-ethylenic pseudopeptides, starting from the chiral pool of amino acids and enantiopure 2-substituted-but-3-enoic acids is proposed and illustrated by the syntheses of the (Z)-ethylenic pseudopeptidic analogs of L-Phe-L-Phe, L-Phe-D-Phe, L-Phe-L-Val, L-Phe-D-Val and racemic (LL,DD) and (LD,DL) (phenyl)Gly-Phe. The key-steps of these syntheses are a ring-closing metathesis, catalysed by Grubbs' ruthenium alkykidene complexes, on diethylenic amides and the hydrolytic cleavage of the resulting dihydropyridones under mild conditions through intermediate formation of cyclic imidates.
Dienediolates of unsaturated carboxylic acids in synthesis. Aldehydes and ketones from alkyl halides, by ozonolysis of β,γ-unsaturated α-alkyl carboxylic acids. The role of a tertiary amine in the cleavage of ozonides
Aurell, Maria Jose,Ceita, Luisa,Mestres, Ramon,Tortajada, Amparo
, p. 10883 - 10898 (2007/10/03)
A convenient two-step procedure for a two carbon homologative conversion of alkyl halides into aldehydes and methyl ketones by α-alkylation of unsaturated carboxylic acids, followed by ozonolysis is developed and applied to the synthesis of ω-chloro aldehydes. Triethylamine is superior to dimethyl sulfide or triphenylphosphine for cleavage of the ozonides, except when aldol condensation side reactions require use of protic solvents and iodide salts. Cleavage of the ozonides by triethylamine is shown to occur mainly through a reductive process.
