In: Tetrahedron. - 0040-4020 .- 1464-5416. ; 59:7, s. 1033-1048

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Reflux of equimolecular amounts 2-aminobenzylamine and isatins in acetic acid produced indolo[3,2-c]quinolin-6-ones in good yields. A proposed mechanism involving initial formation of a spiro compound is given. This isolable intermediate subsequently rearranges via a sequential isocyanate ring opening and a cyclisation process to a urea derivative which finally cyclized to the indolo[3,2-c]quinolin-6-ones. The urea derivative could be prepared separately and cyclized selectively to indolo[3,2-c]quinolin-6-one. Reaction of N-acetylisatin with 2-aminobenzylamine at room temperature yielded the 1,4-benzodiazepinone 3-(2-acetamidophenyl)-1,5-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-2one whereas its isomer 2(2-acetamidophenyl)-4,5-dihydro-1,4-benzodiazepin-3-one was obtained from 2-(2-acetylaminophenyl)-N-(2-aminobenzyl)-2-oxoacetamide in acetic acid at room temperature. The previously unknown linear isomer of indolo[3,2-c]quinolin-6-one, i.e. indolo[2,3-blquinolin-11-one, has been prepared by thermal (260degreesC) cyclization of methyl 2-phenylamino indole-3-carboxylate, which in turn was prepared in two steps from methyl indole-3-carboxyl ate.

Synthesis of Fused Tertazole- and Imidazole Derivatives via Iodocyclization.
- 2003
-
In: Tetrahedron. - 0040-4020. ; 59:35, s. 6759-6769
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The possibility to prepare fused tetrazole- and imidazole derivatives by iodocyclization in moderate to excellent yields is demonstrated. In some examples the cyclizations were not following Baldwin's rules entirely, i.e. exo-selectivity. Nucleophilic substitution of the formed iodides gave different results depending on the hardness of the nucleophile. Thus, elimination of the iodide could be a problem but a substitution reaction with ethyl potassium xanthate and a radical reaction using acrylonitrile were tolerated. In addition, we showed that it is possible to selectively use three iodo substituents individually in one of the fused imidazole derivatives.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Solution phase synthesis of a constrained Leu(5)-enkephalin amide analogue 10 is reported, in which the cyclic ferrocenyl containing subunit 7 was introduced as a mimetic of the tetrapeptide Tyr-Gly-Gly-Phe unit. Temperature dependence of the chemical shift of the amide protons of 10 indicated a hydrogen bond between the same amino acid residues as observed for the natural Leu-enkepalin in the single-bend conformation. The rotational barrier (DeltaG(c)(not equal)=16.8 kcal/mol) of the C-terminal amide group, which was determined by DNMR spectroscopy, and NOESY experiments indicated that the two termini were more distant as compared to the single-bend conformation of natural Leu-enkephalin amide.

- Synthesis of three galactoglycerolipids (3-O-(ß-D-galactopyranosyl)-1-O-hexadecyl-2-O-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol, 3-O-(a-D-galactopyranosyl-(1?4)-ß-D-galactopyranosyl)-1-O- hexadecyl-2-O-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol, 3-O-(a-D-galactopyranosyl-(1?4)-ß-D-galactopyranosyl)-1-O- hexadecyl-sn-glycerol), and the corresponding glycerolipid (1-O-hexadecyl-2-O-palmitoyl-sn-glycerol) is described. The first two compounds were recently identified in the human colon carcinoma cell line HT29. The three-carbon synthon (S)-glycidol was used for construction of the glycerol moiety. Glycosylation of (S)-glycidol with protected galactosyl and digalactosyl donors produced galactosyl and digalactosyl glycidols. Lewis acid catalyzed opening of the epoxide produced protected galactosyl and digalactosyl glycerolipids. Deprotection, or palmitoylation followed by deprotection, yielded the target compounds. The corresponding glycerolipid was synthesized analogously and an oxidation-reduction procedure for tritiation was developed. The synthesized compounds will be used in studies of the role of galactosyl glycerolipids in differentiation and colon cancer development. © 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

Synthesis of N-H vinylaziridines : a comparative study
- 2002
-
In: Tetrahedron. - 0040-4020 .- 1464-5416. ; 58:30, s. 5979-5982
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Vinylaziridines are useful and versatile synthetic intermediates, as the relief of ring-strain provides a driving force for efficient ring-opening or ring-expansion reactions. Furthermore, the vinyl group can be derivatized into interesting functionalities. The ring-closure of vicinal amino alcohols constitutes a straightforward route to aziridines. Several methods exist for this transformation, although many cannot be applied to vinylaziridines due to their acid lability. This comparative study describes the most effective sequences for the formation of N-H vinylaziridines.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 3-Substituted-2H-azirines have been employed as 2pi components in Lewis acid-catalysed hetero Diels-Alder reactions with a variety of diene systems. A series of Lewis acids were screened for catalytic behaviour in the reaction between Danishefsky's diene and 3-phenyl-2H-azirine to give the cycloaddition adduct, and in most cases elevated temperature were required to effect cycloaddition. A noteworthy exception was a BF3.Et2O-catalysed cycloaddition which proceeded in less than I h between -70degreesC and -60degreesC. The cycloadditions were found to proceed with endo selectivity providing a single diastereoisomeric product. Benzyl 2H-azirine-3-carboxylates were found to be activated by Lewis acids and participate in endo selective cycloadditions at -20degreesC.

- The reactions of 2-lithiated indole and 1-methylindole with elemental sulfur have been studied, leading e.g. to a rational approach to pentathiepino[6,7-b]indoles 5 and 10. Notable amounts of the previously known tetrathiocino[5,6-b:8,7-b ' ]diindole 11 could be observed as a side reaction in the preparation of 10. Treatment of the anions of indoline-2-thiones 6 or 7 with sulfur also gave the pentathiepins 5 or 10, respectively. In addition, a convenient and clean lithiation route to indoline-2-thione (6) has been developed.

- Synthesis of 1 and 2a is described using a block synthetic strategy. Compound 4 was used as precursor for the two mannose derivatives which, coupled together, forms the dimannoside building block. Thioglycoside 7 was coupled to 8 yielding inositol phosphoglycan 9a, which was selectively deprotected and reacted with 2,3,4,6-tetra-O-benzyl-a-D-glucopyranos-1-yl H- phosphonate to form the protected target molecule 12. Deprotection of 12 by acidic deacetalisation/desilylation and subsequent catalytic hydrogenolysis resulted in cleavage of the anomeric phosphodiester to produce 1. Debenzylation with sodium in liquid ammonia followed by acidic deacetalisation/desilylation gave the target compound 2a. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

In: Tetrahedron. - 0040-4020 .- 1464-5416. ; 56:20, s. 3219-3225
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The influence of the central hydroxyl groups on the anti-viral activity of symmetrical HIV-1 protease inhibitors derived from L-mannaric acid has been examined. L-Iditol was synthesized and used as a chiral precursor for the synthesis of the corresponding inhibitor with inverted configuration at C-3 and C-4. Key intermediates were 3,4-O-isopropylidene-L-iditol and the activated L-idaric acid succinimidyI ester. The configurations of the central hydroxyl groups required for optimal inhibition of the HIV-1 protease were determined to be the C-3R and C-4R, i.e. the L-manno-configuration. Three C2-symmetric inhibitors were converted to their thiocarbonates and reduced to provide the corresponding hydroxyethyl transition-state mimics. Deletion of the C-4 hydroxyl group in these inhibitors gave no further improvement in the anti-viral activity. (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.

- A simple, high-yielding synthesis of 2-vinyl-3H-quinazolin-4-one, 2-(1-chlorovinyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one and 2-(1-bromovinyl)-3H-quinazolin-4-one. The 2-vinylquinazolinones 11a and 14 participate readily in nucleophilic addition reactions. Treatment with both carbon and nitrogen nucleophiles results in a clean conversion into a variety of 2-substituted 3H-quinazolin-4-one derivatives.

- Synthetic and 31P NMR spectroscopy studies resulted in the development of efficient protocols for the stereospecific synthesis of a novel type of nucleotide analogues, 2-pyridyl- and 4-pyridylphosphonothioates. The underlying chemistry involves formation of the P–C bond via a base-promoted reaction of suitably protected dithymidine H-phosphonothioates with N-methoxypyridinium tosylate in acetonitrile, or with trityl chloride in pyridine, to produce high yields of nucleotide analogues with a 2-pyridyl- or 4-pyridyl moiety directly bound to the phosphorus centre.

- The indole alkaloid barettin (with bromine in 6-position), isolated from the marine sponge Geodia Barretti, has been synthesised via a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons type reaction from 6-bromoindole-3-carboxaldehyde to introduce the dehydro-functionality. Subsequent deprotection and cyclisation afforded the natural product in Z-conformation.

Asymmetric Catalysis in a Micro Reactor : Ce, Yb and Lu Catalysed Enantioselective Addition of Trimethylsilyl Cyanide to Benzaldehyde
- 2004

In: Tetrahedron. - : Elsevier BV. - 0040-4020 .- 1464-5416. ; 60:46, s. 10515-10520

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A T-shaped micro reactor was used for the optimisation of reaction conditions for the enantioselective silyleyanation of benzaldehyde catalysed by lanthanide-pybox complexes. Compared to a conventional batch procedure, higher conversion was observed within shorter reaction time. The micro reactor process involving Lu(III) afforded essentially the same enantioselectivity as the batch process (73 vs 76% ee), whereas the enantioselectivity was lower in the micro reactor for catalysts containing Yb(III) (53 compared to 72%). Ce(III) provided very low selectivity in both types of processes (1 and 11 % ee, respectively). A study of the effect of additives showed that the enantioselectivity in the Yb catalysed reaction performed in the micro reactor could be increased to 66%, whereas only a minor improvement, to 78% ee, was observed in the reaction with Lu.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The preparation of compounds incorporating the 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-alkyl moiety of high diastereomeric purity is described. Such compounds can serve as potential building blocks for the preparation of several kinds of natural products. Diastereoselective synthesis of two potential pine sawfly pheromone components, one the pure racemic threo-isomer of 3-methylpentadecan-2-ol and the other the racemic erythro-isomer of 3-methyltridecan-2-ol are described. The diastereoselective addition of R2Zn (R = Me, Et and n-Bu) to several 2-alkyl-3-(arylsulfanyl)propanals in the presence of a Lewis acid and CH2Cl2 as solvent was studied. An excellent diastereomeric ratio (95/5 anti-Cram/Cram) was obtained with 2-[(phenylsulfanyl)methyl]pentanal, 2-[(phenylsulfanyl)methyl]decanal and 2-[(phenylsulfanyl)methyl]dodecanal and Me2Zn in the presence of TiCl4.

Transformations of the natural dimeric phthalide diligustilide
- 2004
-
In: Tetrahedron. - : Elsevier BV. - 0040-4020. ; 60:16, s. 3681-3688
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A series of intramolecular condensation products were obtained by base-catalyzed treatment of the natural bioactive dimeric phthalide diligustilide (1) using different reaction conditions and the yields remarkably depend on these. The reaction conditions to obtain selectively the intramolecular condensation derivatives or the hydrolysis products of diligustilide (1) are described.

A synthetic approach to 2,3,4-substituted pyridines useful as scaffolds for tripeptidomimetics
- 2004
-
In: Tetrahedron. - : Elsevier BV. - 0040-4020. ; 60:29, s. 6113-6120
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The synthesis of 2,3,4-substituted pyridine derivatives useful as scaffolds in the development of peptidomimetics is described. The use of a variety of electrophiles in a halogen-dance reaction to produce 3-alkyl-2-fluoro-4-iodo-pyridine derivatives as 'functionalized scaffolds' and the possibility to differentiate between the reactivities of the two halogen handles have been explored. Coupling of amino acid derivatives in the 4-position of the pyridine was found to proceed efficiently by conversion of iodo-pyridine to a Grignard derivative, which was allowed to react with a protected amino aldehyde. Substitution of fluorine in the 2-position of the pyridine was found to be facile with alkoxide nucleophiles, whereas amines were much less reactive. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

9-BBN as a convenient protecting group in functionalisation of hydroxylysine
- 2004
-
In: Tetrahedron. - : Elsevier BV. - 0040-4020. ; 60:26, s. 5571-5
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- 9-BBN was used for regioselective protection of the α-amino and α-carboxyl groups of (5R)-5-hydroxy--lysine. The resulting 9-BBN complex was then employed in transformations such as N-Cbz protection, azido transfer, O-glycosylation, and O-silylation. Further manipulations led to improved methods for preparation of hydroxylysine and galactosylated hydroxylysine building blocks, suitable for direct use in peptide synthesis under standard Fmoc conditions.

In: Tetrahedron. - : Elsevier BV. - 0040-4020 .- 1464-5416. ; 60:9, s. 2147-2153
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- A three-step synthesis of caulersin (3) from indole-2-acetic acid methyl ester and indole-2-carbonyl chloride is described. As the spectral data of the synthetic sample differed from those reported for the natural product, the structure was determined by X-ray crystallography.
