Total Synthesis of the GRP78-Downregulatory Macrolide (+)-Prunustatin A, the Immunosuppressant (+)-SW-163A, and a JBIR-04 Diastereoisomer That Confirms JBIR-04 Has Nonidentical Stereochemistry to (+)-Prunustatin A

A unified total synthesis of the GRP78-downregulator (+)-prunustatin A and the immunosuppressant (+)-SW-163A based upon [1 + 1 + 1 + 1]-fragment condensation and macrolactonization between O(4) and C(5) is herein described. Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation was used to set the C(2) stereocenter present in both targets. In like fashion, coupling of the (+)-prunustatin A macrolide amine with benzoic acid furnished a JBIR-04 diastereoisomer whose NMR spectra did not match those of JBIR-04, thus confirming that it has different stereochemistry than (+)-prunustatin A.

The influence of α-coordinating groups of aldehydes on E/Z-selectivity and the use of quaternary ammonium counter ions for enhanced E-selectivity in the Julia–Kocienski reaction

Modified reaction conditions for improved E-selectivity of olefins in the Julia–Kocienski reaction of aldehydes having α-coordinating substituents are demonstrated. The chelating groups in aldehydes are expected to stabilize the syn-transition state with metal ions, whereas the weakly coordinating quaternary ammonium ions are devoid of all possible chelating interactions to enhance E-selectivity. A systematic investigation is presented to study the size of the neighbouring protecting groups of aldehydes and their chelation effect on E/Z-selectivity in the Julia–Kocienski reaction.

METHOD OF CONVERTING ALCOHOL TO HALIDE

The present invention relates to a method of converting an alcohol into a corresponding halide. This method comprises reacting the alcohol with an optionally substituted aromatic carboxylic acid halide in presence of an N-substituted formamide to replace a hydroxyl group of the alcohol by a halogen atom. The present invention also relates to a method of converting an alcohol into a corresponding substitution product. The second method comprises: (a) performing the method of the invention of converting an alcohol into the corresponding halide; and (b) reacting the corresponding halide with a nucleophile to convert the halide into the nucleophilic substitution product.

Formamides as Lewis Base Catalysts in SNReactions—Efficient Transformation of Alcohols into Chlorides, Amines, and Ethers

A simple formamide catalyst facilitates the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides with benzoyl chloride as the sole reagent. These nucleophilic substitutions proceed through iminium-activated alcohols as intermediates. The novel method, which can be even performed under solvent-free conditions, is distinguished by an excellent functional group tolerance, scalability (>100 g) and waste-balance (E-factor down to 2). Chiral substrates are converted with excellent levels of stereochemical inversion (99 %→≥95 % ee). In a practical one-pot procedure, the primary formed chlorides can be further transformed into amines, azides, ethers, sulfides, and nitriles. The value of the method was demonstrated in straightforward syntheses of the drugs rac-Clopidogrel and S-Fendiline.

Alternaric acid: Formal synthesis and related studies

A silyl glyoxylate three-component-coupling methodology has been exploited to achieve a formal synthesis, an analogue to an intermediate in a distinct formal synthetic route, and a third (unique) approach to the natural product alternaric acid. Highlighte

A facile one-pot synthesis of 1-substituted tetrazole-5-thiones and 1-substituted 5-alkyl(aryl)sulfanyltetrazoles from organic isothiocyanates

Treatments of organic isothiocyanates (R-NCS) with NaN3 in the presence of pyridine in water at room temperature gave corresponding various organic tetrazole-thiones, [S=CN4(R)] (R = alkyl or aryl). Isolated products are obtained as white or yellow solids in good yields (76-97%). The molecular structure by X-ray diffraction study for one of products shows the proposed formation. In addition, one-pot synthesis of 1- substituted 5-alkyl(or aryl)sulfanyltetrazoles has been demonstrated. Addition of alkyl or aryl halides into the mixture of organic isothiocyanates, NaN3, and pyridine in water at room temperature exclusively formed 1- substituted 5-alkyl(or aryl)sulfanyltetrazoles (S-derivatives) in high yields.
