Dehydroxymethylation of alcohols enabled by cerium photocatalysis

Dehydroxymethylation, the direct conversion of alcohol feedstocks as alkyl synthons containing one less carbon atom, is an unconventional and underexplored strategy to exploit the ubiquity and robustness of alcohol materials. Under mild and redox-neutral reaction conditions, utilizing inexpensive cerium catalyst, the photocatalytic dehydroxymethylation platform has been furnished. Enabled by ligand-to-metal charge transfer catalysis, an alcohol functionality has been reliably transferred into nucleophilic radicals with the loss of one molecule of formaldehyde. Intriguingly, we found that the dehydroxymethylation process can be significantly promoted by the cerium catalyst, and the stabilization effect of the fragmented radicals also plays a significant role. This operationally simple protocol has enabled the direct utilization of primary alcohols as unconventional alkyl nucleophiles for radical-mediated 1,4-conjugate additions with Michael acceptors. A broad range of alcohols, from simple ethanol to complex nucleosides and steroids, have been successfully applied to this fragment coupling transformation. Furthermore, the modularity of this catalytic system has been demonstrated in diversified radical-mediated transformations including hydrogenation, amination, alkenylation, and oxidation.

SYNTHESIS OF METHYLENE MALONATES USING RAPID RECOVERY IN THE PRESENCE OF A HEAT TRANSFER AGENT

The present invention provides a method of making a methylene malonate monomer that includes the steps of reacting a malonic acid ester with a source of formaldehyde optionally in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst and optionally in the presence of an acidic or non-acidic solvent to form reaction complex. The reaction is optionally performed in the presence of or contacted with an energy transfer means such as a heat transfer agent, a heat transfer surface, a source of radiation or a laser such that reaction complex is substantially vaporized to produce a vapor phase comprising methylene malonate monomer which may be isolated. The present invention further provides methylene malonate monomers prepared by the method of the invention, as well as compositions and products formed from the methylene malonate monomers, including monomer-based products (e.g., inks, adhesives, coatings, sealants or reactive molding) and polymer-based products (e.g., fibers, films, sheets, medical polymers, composite polymers and surfactants).

Enhanced stereoselectivity of a Cu(II) complex chiral auxiliary in the synthesis of Fmoc-L-γ-carboxyglutamic acid

L-γ-Carboxyglutamic acid (Gla) is an uncommon amino acid that binds avidly to mineral surfaces and metal ions. Herein, we report the synthesis of N-R-Fmoc-L-γ-carboxyglutamic acid γ, γ0-tert-butyl ester (Fmoc-Gla(OtBu)2-OH), a suitably protected analogue for Fmoc-based solid-phase peptide synthesis. The residue was synthesized using a novel chiral Cu(II) complex, whose structurebased design was inspired by the blue copper protein rusticyanin. The five-coordinate complex is formed by Shiff base formation between glycine and the novel ligand (S)-2-(N-(2-methylthio)benzylprolyl) aminobenzophenone in the presence of copper. Michael addition of di-tert-butyl methylenemalonate to the R-carbon of the glycine portion of the complex occurs in a diastereoselective fashion. The resulting (S,S)-complex diastereomer can be easily purified by chromatography. Metal complex decomposition followed by Fmoc protection affords the enantiomerically pure amino acid. With the use of this novel chiral complex, the asymmetric synthesis of Fmoc-Gla(OtBu)2-OH was completed in nine steps from thiosalicylic acid in 14.5% overall yield.

A very efficient method for the direct α-methylenation of carbonyl compounds, with yields up to 99%, utilizing paraformaldehyde, diisopropylammonium trifluoroacetate, and catalytic acid or base, is presented.

Preparation and reactions of some 2,2-difunctional 1,1-dibromocyclopropanes

The synthesis of 2,2-dibromocyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic acids is described. Reaction of substituted 1,1-dibromo-2-acyloxymethylcyclopropanes with methyl lithium at low temperature leads to a bromine-lithium exchange and then either formal protonation to

Stereoselective tandem Michael-intramolecular cyclization approach to functionalized pyrroloisoindolones

A stereoselective synthesis of pyrrolo[2,1-a]isoindol-5-ones is described. The synthesis takes place through a tandem Michael addition- intramolecular cyclization, by the base-promoted condensation of methyl N- phthaloylalaninate with conjugate acceptors at low temperature. The desired products were obtained in good yields as single isomers in only one step. Presumably, the stereoselectivity of the cyclization step is kinetically controlled by a lithium chelate species between the interacting centers. The structure of the adducts is discussed, being supported by NMR experiments and X-ray crystallography.
