Aldimines, generated in situ from aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic aldehydes and aliphatic, aromatic, and heteroaromatic primary or secondary amines, can be reduced with trichlorosilane in the presence of dimethylformamide (DMF) as an organocatalys

Water-soluble prodrug strategy is a practical alternative for improving the drug bioavailability of sparingly-soluble drugs with reduced drug efficacy. Many water-soluble prodrugs of sparingly-soluble drugs, such as the phosphate ester of a drug, have been reported. Recently, we described a novel water-soluble prodrug based on O–N intramolecular acyl migration. However, these prodrug approaches require a hydroxy group in the structure of their drugs, and other prodrug approaches are often restricted by the structure of the parent drugs. To develop prodrugs with no restriction in the structure, we focused on a decomposition reaction of arginine methyl ester. This reaction proceeds at room temperature under neutral conditions, and we applied this reaction to the prodrug strategy for drugs with an amino group. We designed and synthesized novel prodrugs of representative sparingly soluble drugs phenytoin and sulfathiazole. Phenytoin and sulfathiazole were obtained as stable salt that were converted to parent drugs under physiological conditions. Phenytoin prodrug 3 showed a short half-life (t1/2) of 13?min, whereas sulfathiazole prodrug 7 had a moderate t1/2of 40?min. Prodrugs 3 and 7 appear to be suitable for use as an injectable formulation and orally administered drug, respectively.

Four exotic chiral organocatalysts, 9-amino-(9-deoxy) cinchona alkaloids with (8S, 9R) and (8R, 9S)-configurations, were conveniently synthesized for the first time in 27-72% total yields through two conversions of configuration at the 9-stereogenic centers of commercially available cinchona alkaloids.

The enantioselective Coniaene cyclization of alkyne-tethered β-ketoesters is efficiently catalyzed by the combination of cinchona-derived amino-urea pre-catalysts and copper(I) salts. The reaction scope is broad and a series of substrates can be efficiently cyclized with high yields and enantioselectivities. Herein, we present a detailed mechanistic study based on experimental considerations and quantum mechanical calculations. Several variables, such as the nature of the organic pre-catalyst and the metal-ion source, have been thoroughly investigated. Kinetic studies, as well as kinetic isotope effects and deuterium labeling experiments have been used to gain further insights into the mechanism and prove the cooperative nature of the catalytic system. Our studies suggest that the rate-limiting step for the reaction involves the β-ketoester deprotonation and that the active species responsible for the enantiodeterming step is monomeric in amino-urea pre-catalyst. Computational studies provide a quantitative understanding of the observed stereoinduction and identify hydrogen bonding from the urea group as a crucial factor in determining the observed enantioselectivity.
Structure-reactivity study of O-tosyl Cinchona alkaloids in their new synthesis and in hydrolysis to 9-epibases. Unexpected formation of cinchonicine enol tosylate accelerated by microwave activation

New methods for O-tosylation of the natural Cinchona alkaloids have been discovered as a biphasic processes with Bu3N as a catalyst. The optimized excess of tosyl chloride, necessary for transformation of each of the four alkaloids into O-tosyl derivative, decreases in the following order: quinine, quinidine, cinchonidine and cinchonine. The same decreasing order has been noticed for the hydrolysis rate of the appropriate tosylates to 9-epibases. Difficult conversion of O-tosylcinchonine in the hydrolytic medium of aqueous tartaric acid gives 9-epicinchonine together with parallel formation of cinchonicine enol tosylate. The latter product is obtained as the main when both cinchonine and cinchonidine tosylates react in the presence of salicylic acid under controlled microwave heating. On the basis of X-ray structure of the new alkene product, the stereoselective syn-E2 quinuclidine ring opening process, competing to the SN2 hydrolysis is postulated for this transformation.

Easy access to 9-epimers of cinchona alkaloids: One-pot inversion by mitsunobu esterification-saponification
Sidorowicz, Lukasz,Skarzewski, Jacek
experimental part, p. 708 - 710 (2011/04/24)
Cinchona alkaloids were efficiently converted into their 9-epi diastereomers. The applied one-pot procedure was based on the Mitsunobu esterification with 4-nitrobenzoic acid followed by in situ saponification of the ester. This method requires only one column chromatography, easily separating the epi-isomer from the native alkaloid and the Mitsunobu byproducts. The procedure gives higher yields and is operationally simpler than the previously used stereoselective hydrolysis of the corresponding sulfonic acid esters. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.
Deconstructing quinine. Part 1. Toward an understanding of the remarkable performance of cinchona alkaloids in asymmetric phase transfer catalysis

A study of catalyst structure-activity/selectivity relationships for Cinchona alkaloid-based asymmetric phase transfer catalysis (APTC) is described. An array of substituent modifications at C(9) and the quinuclidine nitrogen were introduced to examine the role of steric and electronic effects on rate and selectivity. The synthesis of the catalysts began with manipulation of the C(9) hydroxyl group followed by alkylation of the quinuclidine nitrogen to generate the quaternary ammonium salt. Catalysts that contained large substituents attached to the quinuclidinium nitrogen were found to be the most selective and those in which the hydroxyl group was protected generally afforded faster catalysts. The presence of a polar group at C(9) significantly impacted catalyst activity. The Japan Institute of Heterocyclic Chemistry.

A modified phase-transfer catalysed enantioselective epoxidation of estra-δ5(10),9(11)-diene, an important intermediate of anti-early pregnancy drug mifepristone 1, have been determined and investigated. Eight chiral ammonium salts (PTC A-H), used as phase-transfer catalysts, have been synthesized from cinchona alkaloids. Among them, PTC G and PTC H have exhibited satisfying catalytic activity to improve the ratio of α/β. epoxide up to 7:1.

The native and epi-Cinchona alkaloids were reacted with (ArS) 2/Bu3P in toluene at 65 °C to give the corresponding arylsulfanyl derivatives (15 examples, 31-75%) with complete inversion of configuration at 9-C stereogenic centers. Similar products were also obtained in the enantiospecific nucleophilic substitution of the 9-mesylates of alkaloids with sodium thiolates (4 examples, 73-84%) and no cinchona rearrangement was observed. The chiral thioethers obtained were preliminarily tested as N(sp 3), S-donating chiral ligands in the Pd-catalyzed allylic alkylation of dimethyl malonate with rac-1,3-diphenylprop-2-enyl acetate and gave the product with up to 78% ee.
