A case study of the MAC (masked acyl cyanide) oxyhomologation of N, N -dibenzyl-l-phenylalaninal with anti diastereoselectivity: Preparation of (2 S,3 S)-allophenylnorstatin esters

The three-component reaction between a protected α-amino aldehyde, an alcohol and an α-silyloxymalononitrile provides an expedient access to protected α-hydroxy-β-amino acid derivatives. The prototypical process, performed on N-Cbz-phenylalaninal, is known to proceed with syn diastereoselectivity. The present study demonstrates that the diastereoselectivity of the reaction can be inverted, using the rationale of a Felkin-Anh interaction model. Reactions performed on N,N-dibenzyl-l-phenylalaninal proceed with a high anti diastereoselectivity, providing a panel of synthetically useful ester derivatives of (2S,3S)-allophenylnorstatin. The procedure is exploited to accomplish one of the most efficient syntheses of the title compound to date, in 3 steps (66% yield) from N,N-dibenzyl-l-phenylalaninal.

Elastase Inhibitor Cyclotheonellazole A: Total Synthesis and in Vivo Biological Evaluation for Acute Lung Injury

Acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ALI/ARDS) is one of the most common complications in COVID-19. Elastase has been recognized as an important target to prevent ALI/ARDS in the patient of COVID-19. Cyclotheonellazole A (CTL-A) is a nat

Squaramide-catalyzed enantioselective Michael addition of masked acyl cyanides to substituted enones

Masked acyl cyanide (MAC) reagents are shown to be effective umpolung synthons for enantioselective Michael addition to substituted enones. The reactions are catalyzed by chiral squaramides and afford adducts in high yields (90-99%) and with excellent enantioselectivities (85-98%). The addition products are unmasked to produce dicyanohydrins that, upon treatment with a variety of nucleophiles, provide γ-keto acids, esters, and amides. The use of this umpolung synthon has enabled, in enantiomerically enriched form, the first total synthesis of the prenylated phenol (+)-fornicin C.

A three-step preparation of MAC reagents from malononitrile

An alternative method for the preparation of MAC reagents, H-C(CN)2O-R, was developed. Using the proposed method, MAC reagents with acyl moiety were synthesized from malononitrile in more than 60% overall yields in three steps.
