Reinvestigation of a Catalytic, Enantioselective Alkene Dibromination and Chlorohydroxylation

Attempts to reproduce eight, putative, enantioselective dibromination and chlorohydroxylation reactions from oft-cited literature studies are described. The reactions were performed with full fidelity to the original report wherever possible. Analysis of the enantiomeric composition was performed by chiral stationary phase HPLC or SFC (CSP-HPLC or CSP-SFC), as opposed to the original report, which used chiral shift reagent NMR spectroscopy. After careful study, the reported levels of enantioselectivity were found to be incorrect. Possible explanations for the false positive results are discussed.

Facile Synthesis of Propranolol and Novel Derivatives

Propranolol is one of the first medications of the beta-blocker used for antihypertensive drugs. This study reports the facile route for the synthesis of propranolol and its novel derivatives. Herein, propranolol synthesis proceeded from 1-naphthol and isopropylamine under mild and less toxic conditions. Novel propranolol derivatives were designed by reactions of propranolol with benzoyl chloride, pyridinium chlorochromate, and n-butyl bromide through esterification, oxidation reduction, and alkylation, respectively. The isolation and purity of compounds were conducted using column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography. Mass spectrometry and 1H-NMR spectroscopy were applied to identify new compounds structure. Propranolol derivatives from 2-chlorobenzoyl chloride (compound 3), 2-fluorobenzoyl chloride (compound 5), and especially acetic anhydride (compound 6) manifested high yields and significantly increased water solubility. Six semisynthetic propranolol derivatives promise to improve antioxidative and biological activities.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of (S) and (R)-propranolol and sotalol employing one-pot lipase resolution protocol

Synthesis of both enantiomers of biologically active propranolol and sotalol has been achieved in high optical purity by one-pot reduction of 3 and 7 followed by in situ lipase resolution of the respective chlorohydrins. Pseudomonas cepacia lipase immobilized on ceramic particles (PS-C) provided the chlorohydrin and acetate, which on nucleophilic substitution with isopropyl amine afforded the target amino alcohols in high enantioselectivity under mild reaction conditions.
