In this work, a series of water-soluble propofol prodrugs were synthesized, and their propofol release rate and pharmacodynamic characteristics were measured. We found that inserting glycolic acid as a linker between propofol and the cyclic amino acid accelerated the release of propofol from prodrugs into the plasma while preserving its safety. In animal experiments, prodrugs (3e, 3g, and 3j) were significantly better than fospropofol (the only water-soluble propofol prodrug that has been used clinically) in terms of safety, onset, and duration time of anesthesia. Their molar dose, onset time, and anesthesia duration time were comparable to those of propofol, helping to maintain the clinical benefits of propofol. The experimental results showed the potential of such compounds as water-soluble prodrugs of propofol.

With 2-pyridyl benzoates as acylating agents and Zn(OAc)2 as a catalyst, 1,2-diols, 1,3-diols, and catechol were selectively monoacylated. Furthermore, the highly enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-tartrates was achieved for the first time, utilizing 2-pyridyl esters and NiBr2/AgOPiv/Ph-BOX in CH3CN or CuCl2/AgOPiv/Ph-BOX in EtOAc catalyst systems (up to 96% ee). The latter catalyst system was also effective for the kinetic resolution of dibenzyl dl-tartrate.

Enantiospecific Synthesis of Natural (-)-Cocaine and Unnatural (+)-Cocaine from D- And L-Glutamic Acid

Natural (-)-cocaine and unnatural (+)-cocaine have been synthesized enantiospecifically from D-and L-glutamic acid, respectively. The axial-equatorial substitutents were introduced by a stereo-and regiospecific dipolar cycloaddition to the corresponding (1R,5S)- and (1S,5R)-N-BOC-nortropenes with (ethoxycarbonyl)formonitrile N-oxide. A sequence of subsequent stereochemically controlled transformations converted the fused isoxazoline to the requisite β-hydroxy ester. Synthesis of the key intermediate N-BOC-nortropenes involved construction of the 8-azabicyclo[3.2.1]octane framework by Dieckmann condensation of cis-5-substituted D- and L-proline esters. For comparison, (1R,5S)-N-BOC-nortropene also was derived by degradation from natural cocaine. The cis-5-substituted D- and L-proline esters were obtained by sulfide contraction and subsequent catalytic hydrogenation to induce stereospecifically the C-5 stereochemistry from D- and L-thiopyroglutamate, which in turn were prepared from D- and L-glutamic acids, respectively.
