Enantioselective Lewis Acid Catalyzed ortho Photocycloaddition of Olefins to Phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehydes

Visible-light irradiation (λ=457 nm) enabled the enantioselective ortho photocycloaddition of olefins to phenanthrene-9-carboxaldehydes (15 examples, 46–93 % yield, 82–98 % ee). A chiral oxazaborolidine Lewis acid (20 mol %) was employed as the catalyst. It operates by coordination to the aldehyde inducing a bathochromic absorption shift beyond the nπ* absorption of the uncomplexed aldehyde. At long wavelengths the Lewis acid complex is exclusively excited; within the complex, one enantiotopic face of the aromatic aldehyde is efficiently shielded. Lewis acid coordination also alters the type selectivity and the simple diastereoselectivity of the photocycloaddition.

Palladium-Catalyzed Ring-Forming Aminoalkenylation of Alkenes with Aldehydes Initiated by Intramolecular Aminopalladation

A palladium-catalyzed aminopalladation reaction followed by nucleophilic addition with aldehydes and dehydration is described. This direct and operationally simple procedure provides a rapid and reliable approach to a wide range of functionalized tetrahydroisoquinolines with high selectivity. Mechanistic studies disclosed that the nucleophilic addition, performed via a highly ordered transition-state, is the turnover-limiting step in which the inherent β-hydride elimination of the key Csp3?Pd species was controlled by the confined conformation and the nucleophilicity of the Csp3?Pd bond was enhanced by the strong electron-donating effect of the nitrogen atom.

Synthesis of smart bimetallic nano-Cu/Ag@SiO2 for clean oxidation of alcohols

Here, we have demonstrated the synthesis and characterization of silica supported bimetallic copper/silver nanoparticles (Cu/Ag@SiO2 NPs) and their application in the clean oxidation of benzoins/benzyl alcohols in the presence of tert-butyl hydroperoxide as a mild oxidant. All the reactions were very fast (4 h) and high yielding (95-99%), and the Cu/Ag@SiO2 NPs were very stable under the reaction conditions. The catalyst was recovered simply by filtration and reused eight times without loss of its catalytic performance.

Fe(III)-catalyzed trityl benzyl ether formation and disproportionation cascade reactions to yield benzaldehydes

During investigating water-compatible Lewis acids catalyzed etherifications using alcohols as alkylating reagents directly, we developed Fe(III)-catalyzed trityl benzyl ether formations irradiated by microwave. Then an in situ trityl benzyl ether formation and disproportionation cascade reaction was achieved to yield the benzaldehyde products with good functional group tolerances under neat conditions at relative higher temperatures. The substituent effects of the substrates on the etherification and disproportionation were explored by changing the substitutions on benzyl alcohols and triarylmethanols using chemical kinetic plots methods and the mechanism of the transformation was studied by crossover experiments. The etherification and disproportionation cascade process could be conveniently scaled up in laboratory without losing much efficiency.

Properties and synthesis of 2-{2-fluoro (or bromo)-4-[(2-oxocyclopentyl) methyl]phenyl}propanoic acid: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with low membrane permeabilizing and gastric lesion-producing activities

We previously proposed that membrane permeabilization activity of NSAIDs is involved in NSAID-induced gastric lesions. We here synthesized derivatives of loxoprofen that have lower membrane permeabilization activity than other NSAIDs. Compared to loxoprofen, the derivatives 10a and 10b have lower membrane permeabilization activity and their oral administration produced fewer gastric lesions but showed an equivalent anti-inflammatory effect. These results suggest that 10a and 10b are likely to be therapeutically beneficial as safer NSAIDs.

Structure elucidation and enantioselective total synthesis of the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors FR901512 and FR901516

The enantioselective total synthesis of the potent HMGCoA reductase inhibitors FR901512 (1) and FR901516 (2) is reviewed. FR901512 was prepared in 15 steps from commercially available compound via 2 in 16.3% overall yield (89% average yield). This study validated the applicability and reliability of the catalytic asymmetric Nozaki-Hiyama reactions that were developed by us. These reactions enabled the concise, efficient, and protecting-group-free enantioselective total syntheses of these new statins.
