An effective cis-β-octahedral Mn(iii) SALPN catalyst for the Mukaiyama-Isayama hydration of α,β-unsaturated esters

Two cis-β-MnIIISALPN catalysts were synthesised and tested in the Mukaiyama-Isayama hydration of α,β-unsaturated esters. The MnIIIEtOSALPN(acac) complex 7 is the most active and catalyses hydration with little or no detectable undesired alkene reduction. This catalyst is superior for alkene hydration compared to the originally reported Mn(dpm)3 catalyst.

Iron-catalyzed hydrogenation for the in situ regeneration of an NAD(P)H model: Biomimetic reduction of α-Keto-/α-iminoesters

Two irons for a smoother finish: An NAD(P)H model was regenerated readily in situ by iron-catalyzed reduction with molecular hydrogen. The subsequent biomimetic reduction of α-keto-/ α-iminoesters proceeded smoothly in the presence of an iron-based Lewis acid (LA) to provide α-hydroxyesters and amino acid esters in good to excellent yields (see scheme; NAD(P) +=nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (phosphate), TM=transition metal).

Rhodium/graphite-catalyzed hydrogenation of carbocyclic and heterocyclic aromatic compounds

Rhodium on graphite (Rh/Gr, C24Rh) was prepared by reaction of anhydrous rhodium trichloride with potassium graphite (C8K, 3 equivalents) and used as a heterogeneous catalyst for the hydrogenation of carbocyclic and heterocyclic aromatic compounds at room temperature and 1 atm of hydrogen pressure. The effect of substitution on the benzene ring was examined in a variety of derivatives, including those with alkyl, hydroxy, alkoxy, aryloxy, carboxy, amino, nitro, acyl, chloro, or functionalized alkyl groups. Reduction of carbonyl functions of aromatic aldehydes and ketones occurred with complete or partial cleavage of the benzylic C-O bond; this cleavage also occurred in the hydrogenation of benzylic alcohols and esters.

Non-steroidal progesterone receptor modulators

The present invention relates to non-steroidal progesterone receptor modulators of the general formula I, the use of the progesterone receptor modulators for the manufacture of medicaments, and pharmaceutical compositions which comprise these compounds. The compounds according to the invention are suitable for the therapy and prophylaxis of gynecological disorders such as endometriosis, leiomyomas of the uterus, dysfunctional bleeding and dysmenorrhoea, and for the therapy and prophylaxis of hormone-dependent tumours and for use for female fertility control and for hormone replacement therapy.

Reduction of activated carbonyl groups by alkyl phosphines: Formation of α-hydroxy esters and ketones

Reduction of activated carbonyl groups such as α-keto esters, benzils, 1,2-cyclohexanedione, and α-ketophosphonates by alkyl phosphines afforded the corresponding α-hydroxy esters or ketones in good to excellent yields in THF at room temperature. The mechanism of the proton transfer and intramolecular hydrolysis has been studied on the basis of deuterium and 18O labeling experiments. The Royal Society of Chemistry 2006.

Mechanism and scope of salen bifunctional catalysts in asymmetric aldehyde and α-ketoester alkylation

Metal complexes of C2-symmetric Lewis acid/Lewis base salen ligands provide bifunctional activation resulting in rapid rates in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aldehydes (up to 92% ee). Further experiments probed the reactivity of the individual Lewis acid and Lewis base components of the catalyst and established that both moieties are essential for asymmetric catalysis. These catalysts are also effective in the asymmetric addition of diethylzinc to α-ketoesters. This finding is significant because α-ketoesters alone serve as their own ligands to accelerate racemic 1,2-carbonyl addition of Et2Zn and racemic carbonyl reduction. The latter proceeds via a metalloene pathway, and often accounts for the predominant product. Singular Lewis acid catalysts do not accelerate enantioselective 1,2-addition over these two competing paths. The bifunctional amino salen catalysts, however, rapidly provide enantioenriched 1,2-addition products in excellent yield, complete chemoselectivity, and good enantioselectivity (up to 88% ee). A library of the bifunctional amino salens was synthesized and evaluated in this reaction. The utility of the α-ketoester method has been demonstrated in the synthesis of an opiate antagonist.

Development of bifunctional salen catalysts: Rapid, chemoselective alkylations of α-ketoesters

Lewis acid-Lewis base salen complexes have been identified as highly efficient catalysts for the addition of dialkylzincs to α-ketoesters. In contrast to aldehydes or ketones, the reaction between diethylzinc and α-ketoesters is significant in the absence of catalyst. In the presence of catalyst, the reaction rate is increased over 100-fold relative to the background. Furthermore, the reduction product, which is a major coproduct with other catalysts, is not observed with these bifunctional salens. As a result, high yields of the addition products can be obtained (57-99%). Both the Lewis acid and Lewis base portions of the catalyst are critical to the reactivity and selectivity. The two separate portions of the catalyst have been shown to function in a cooperative manner. Copyright

Conversion of α,β-unsaturated ketones into α-hydroxy ketones using an Mn(III) catalyst, phenylsilane and dioxygen: Acceleration of conjugate hydride reduction by dioxygen

Treatment of a variety of α,β-unsaturated ketones with Mn(dpm)3 (3 mol%)/PhSiH3 (1.3 equiv.)/isopropyl alcohol/O2, followed by reductive work-up with P(OEt)3 resulted in the formation of α-hydroxy-ketones. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

Enantioselective hydrogenation of β-keto esters catalyzed by P-chiral bis(dialkylphosphino)ethanes-Ru(II)

Asymmetric hydrogenation of keto esters using a BisP*-RuBr2 catalyst is reported. High enantioselectivities up to 98% were achieved in the hydrogenation of β-keto esters.

Synthesis and reactivity of β-phenylselanyl α-oxoesters

β-Phenylsetanyl α-oxoesters 2 were prepared by N-phenylselanyl morpholine treatment of α-oxoesters 1, oxidized into β-unsaturated α- oxoesters 5 and subjected to the Wittig-Horner olefination. The diethyl (l- phenylselanylalkyl)maleates 6 have led, after [2,3]sigmatropic rearrangement of the corrsponding selenoxides to the diethyl 3-alkylidene-2- hydroxysuccinates 7. The 2-(1-butoxycarbonylamino)-3-alkylidenesuccinates 8 were prepared in a similar way. The decomposition of halo-adducts derived from components 6 has the synthesis of the siethyl 3-alkylidene-2- halosuccinates 9 and 10.
