A route has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of (4R,5S)-O-acetylosmundalactone 1 and (4S,5R)-O-acetylosmundalactone 2 by using sharpless kinetic resolution of the racemic 1-(2-furyl)ethanol 6 as a key step.

Readily available mesylates 1a-d were found to undergo a novel substitution reaction.In the presence of a variety of nucleophiles, 1a-d underwent a net substitution in which the nucleophile was introduced vicinally (C-3) to the departing mesylate (C-4) and the double bond migrated to C-4/C-5.Lithium bromide, thiophenol, benzylamine, sodium azide, and the potassium salt of dimethyl malonate all led to substitution products in good yield.The reaction is thought to proceed by way of initial conjugate addition of the nucleophile, followed by enolate equilibration and β-elimination of mesylate.

Most ligands applied for asymmetric hydrogenation are synthesized via multistep reactions with expensive chemical reagents. Herein, a series of novel and easily accessed cinchona-alkaloid-based NNP ligands have been developed in two steps. By combining [Ir(COD)Cl]2, 39 ketones including aromatic, heteroaryl, and alkyl ketones have been hydrogenated, all affording valuable chiral alcohols with 96.0-99.9% ee. A plausible reaction mechanism was discussed by NMR, HRMS, and DFT, and an activating model involving trihydride was verified.

Background: Podophyllotoxin is a natural lignan which possesses anticancer and antiviral activities. Etoposide and teniposide are semisynthetic glycoside derivatives of podophyllotoxin and are increasingly used in cancer medicine. Objective: The present work aimed to design and synthesize a series of 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyrano-sides derivatives of 4’-demethylepipodophyllotoxin as novel anticancer agents. Methods: A divergent de novo synthesis of 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyranosides derivatives of 4’-demethylepipodophyllotoxin has been established via palladium-catalyzed glycosylation. The abili-ties of synthesized glycosides to inhibit the growth of A549, HepG2, SH-SY5Y, KB/VCR and HeLa cancer cells were investigated by MTT assay. Flow cytometric analysis of cell cycle with propidium iodide DNA staining was employed to observe the effect of compound 5b on cancer cell cycle. Results: Twelve D and L monosaccharide derivatives 5a-5l have been efficiently synthesized in three steps from various pyranone building blocks employing de novo glycosylation strategy. D-monosaccharide 5b showed the highest cytotoxicity on five cancer cell lines with the IC50 values ranging from 0.9 to 6.7 μM. It caused HepG2 cycle arrest at G2/M phase in a concentration-dependent manner. Conclusion: The present work leads to the development of novel 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyranosides derivatives of 4’-demethylepipodophyllotoxin. The biological results suggest that the replacement of the glucosyl moiety of etoposide with 2, 4, 5-trideoxyhexopyranosyl is favorable to their cytotoxic-ity. D-monosaccharide 5b was observed to cause HepG2 cycle arrest at the G2/M phase in a concen-tration-dependent manner.
Cationic Ru complexes anchored on POM via non-covalent interaction towards efficient transfer hydrogenation catalysis

The ionic materials consisting of cationic Ru complexes and Wells-Dawson polyoxometalate anion (POM, K6P2W18O62) have been constructed via a non-covalent interaction. The as-synthesized catalysts have been characterized thoroughly by NMR, XRD, FESEM, and FT-IR, etc. The characterization suggested that a hydrogen bond interaction occurred between the proton of the amine ligand in the cationic Ru complexes and the oxygen atom of the POM anion. The hydrogen bond played an important role in enhancing catalytic activity for the transfer hydrogenation of methyl levulinate (ML) to γ-valerolactone (GVL) under very mild conditions. Especially, the transfer hydrogenation reaction proceeded via a heterogeneous catalysis approach and the heterogenized catalysts even afforded much better catalytic performance than homogeneous analogs. Notably, the catalysts can be recycled without an obvious loss of activity, and further extended to highly selective transfer hydrogenation of α,β-unsaturated ketones and aldehydes, etc. into the corresponding α,β-unsaturated alcohols without any base external additives. The high catalytic performance of these anchored catalysts was highly related to the hydrogen bond interaction and the basicity of the polyanion. The obtained knowledge from this work could lead us to a new catalysis concept of tethering active homogeneous complexes for constructing highly active anchored Ru complex catalysts for hydrogenation reaction.

A nonenzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution of acyclic and cyclic benzylic alcohols is reported. The approach merges rapid transition-metal-catalyzed alcohol racemization and enantioselective Cu-H-catalyzed dehydrogenative Si-O coupling of alcohols and hydrosilanes. The catalytic processes are orthogonal, and the racemization catalyst does not promote any background reactions such as the racemization of the silyl ether and its unselective formation. Often-used ruthenium half-sandwich complexes are not suitable but a bifunctional ruthenium pincer complex perfectly fulfills this purpose. By this, enantioselective silylation of racemic alcohol mixtures is achieved in high yields and with good levels of enantioselection.

Unification of oxidation and reduction in a one-pot deracemization process has great significance in the preparation of enantioenriched organic molecules. However, the intrinsic mutual deactivation of oxidative and reductive catalysts and the extrinsic incompatible reaction conditions are unavoidable challenges in a single operation. To address these two issues, we develop a supported dual catalysts system to overcome these conflicts from incompatibility to compatibility, resulting in an efficient one-pot redox deracemization of secondary alcohols. During this transformation, the TEMPO species onto the outer surface of silica nanoparticles catalyze the oxidation of racemic alcohols to ketones, and the chiral Rh/diamine species in the nanochannels of the thermoresponsive polymer-coated hollow-shell mesoporous silica enable the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones to chiral alcohols. To demonstrate the general feasibility, a series of orthogonal oxidation/ATH cascade reactions are compared to prove the compatible benefits in the elimination of their deactivations and the balance of the cascade directionality. As presented in this study, this redox deracemization process provides various chiral alcohols with enhanced yields and enantioselectivities relative to those from unsupported dual catalysts systems. Furthermore, the dual catalysts can be recycled continuously, making them an attractive feature in the application.

The Ru-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones with chiral diamine and monodentate achiral phosphine has been developed. A wide range of ketones were hydrogenated to afford the corresponding chiral secondary alcohols in good to excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98.1% ee). In addition, an appropriate mechanism for the asymmetric hydrogenation was proposed and verified by NMR spectroscopy.

The Noyori-Ikariya (arene)Ru(II)/TsDPEN precatalyst has been anchored to amorphous silica and DAVISIL through the η6-coordinated arene ligand via a straightforward synthesis and the derived systems, (arene)Ru(II)/TsDPEN@silica and (arene)Ru(II)/TsDPEN@DAVISIL, form highly efficient catalysts for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of a range of electron-rich and electron-poor aromatic ketones, giving good conversion and excellent ee's under mild reaction conditions. Moreover, catalyst generated in situ immediately prior to addition of substrate and hydrogen donor, by reaction of silica-supported [(arene)RuCl2]2 with (S,S)-TsDPEN, was as efficient as that generated from its preformed counterpart [(arene)Ru{(S,S)-TsDPEN}Cl]@silica. Gratifyingly, the initial TOFs (up to 1085 h?1) and ee's (96–97 %) obtained with these catalysts either rivalled or outperformed those previously reported for catalysts supported by either silica or polymer immobilized through one of the nitrogen atoms of TsDPEN. While the high ee's were also maintained during recycle studies, the conversion dropped steadily over the first three runs due to gradual leaching of the ruthenium.
