Article Abstract

Here we present a new method for synthesizing amide hemiaminal esters through the direct -methyl C-H esterification of -tosyl hydroxamates. This approach demonstrates good tolerance for a variety of functional groups and operates under mild, transition-metal-free conditions, thus providing an accessible and effective pathway to hemiaminal esters.

Strain-promoted azide-alkyne cycloaddition enhanced by secondary interactions.

Division of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kanazawa University, Kakuma-machi, Kanazawa 920-1192, Japan.

Azide-alkyne cycloaddition of cyclooct-2-yn-1-ol and 2-(azidophenyl)boronic acid proceeded rapidly at room temperature with complete regioselectivity to afford a triazole having a boronate ester group. The secondary interaction to form a boronate ion contributed to cycloaddition rate acceleration and the control of regioselectivity. The interaction to form an imine or hemiaminal was also evaluated.

Article Synopsis
  • Tetrodotoxin and its related compounds are potent sodium channel blockers with strong anesthetic and analgesic properties.
  • The research outlines a scalable method for synthesizing Tetrodotoxin and 9-epiTetrodotoxin using furfuryl alcohol as a starting material, employing a series of carefully designed chemical reactions.
  • Key techniques include stereoselective Diels-Alder reactions, functional group interconversions, and ruthenium-catalyzed reactions, resulting in a rapid production of the desired complex compounds.

Enzyme-catalyzed dynamic kinetic resolution was applied to the one-pot regio- and enantioselective synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted tetrazole hemiaminal esters, among which 72% of the products were obtained in excellent enantiopurities (99% s). Tunable stereoselectivity was achieved by using different types of enzymes during the synthesis of a key intermediate for a clinic drug candidate. Successful preparation of tetrazole ester prodrugs and high catalyst recyclability further demonstrated the potential practical application of this protocol.

Herein we report the first enantioselective total synthesis of (+)-incargranine A, in nine steps. The total synthesis was enabled by an enantioselective intramolecular organocatalysed desymmetrising Michael addition of a malonamate ester to a linked dienone substrate that established pivotal stereocentres with excellent enantio- and complete diastereoselectivity. Furthermore, a key hemiaminal intermediate was accessed by developing an iridium-catalysed reductive cyclisation, and the scope of this transformation was explored to produce a range of bicyclic hemiaminal motifs.
