The design, total synthesis, and biological evaluation of two open-chain analogues of epothilone incorporating the critical C1-C8 fragment and the aromatic side chain held together by a small molecular scaffold have been achieved. Biological evaluation revealed that further restraint between the flexible C1-C8 region and the molecular scaffold may be necessary for potent inhibition of cell proliferation.

A detailed study of the hydrochlorination of ethene and higher alkenes using ZnCl2/SiO2 and ZnCl2/Al2O3 catalysts is described and discussed. Based on earlier observations that supported gold can be an active catalyst for both ethyne hydrochlorination and oxidation reactions, we initially investigated using supported gold as catalysts for the oxychlorination of ethene. However, we found that oxychlorination did not occur in the presence of oxygen and, furthermore, that the gold acted as a poison/inhibitor during the initial reaction period, with the underlying reaction being ethene hydrochlorination. Supported Zn2+ was found to be a very effective catalyst for this reaction. The hydrochlorination of higher alkenes occurred, with high selectivity to a range of relatively complex chlorinated hydrocarbon products at rates of ca. 10-13 mol/(kgcat h).

The invention provides a method for synthesizing methyl heptenone from isopentenyl alcohol. The method comprises the following steps: (1) reacting isopentenyl alcohol with concentrated hydrochloric acid in the presence of a catalyst A, splitting phase for the reacting liquid, washing and distilling the organic phase to obtain a chloro mixture of 1-chloro-3-methyl-2-butene and 3-chloro-3-methyl-1-butene; (2) directly condensing the chloro mixture with acetone in the presence of a catalyst B to obtain a single product methyl heptenone. According to the method, isopentenyl alcohol is efficientlychlorinated in the presence of metal inorganic salt functioning as a catalyst and concentrated hydrochloric acid functioning as a chlorinating agent; the chlorinating reaction liquid is split and simply distilled to obtain the chlorinated mixture, operation steps of isomerization, rectification and the like are not required; alkali solution is promoted by using N,N-dimethyl formamide as a condensation solvent, and a phase transfer catalyst is not required to be added, the condensation time is reduced, and the reaction yield is improved.

Page/Page column 25; 2/22, (2008/06/13)
Epothilone analogues include a molecular scaffold which holds at least one segment of epothilone in a predetermined orientation and which rigidities a region between the macrolactone ring and the aromatic side-chain.
