Kalyan Kumar Pasunooti, 5-Methylisoxazole-3-carboxamide-Directed Palladium-Catalyzed γ-C(sp3)–H Acetoxylation and Application to the Synthesis of γ-Mercapto Amino Acids for Native Chemical Ligation

Palladium-catalyzed acetoxylation of the primary γ-C(sp³)–H bonds in the amino acids Val, Thr, and Ile was achieved using a newly discovered 5-methylisoxazole-3-carboxamide directing group. The γ-acetoxylated α-amino acid derivatives could be easily converted to γ-mercapto amino acids, which are useful for native chemical ligation (NCL). The first application of NCL at isoleucine in the semisynthesis of a Xenopus histone H3 protein was also demonstrated.

Abstract

An efficient synthesis of fully substituted 2,3-dihydropyrroles has been achieved in one step through the three-component reaction of amines, aromatic aldehydes and α-ketoamides. This atom-economical and catalyst-free reaction is highly stereoselective and generates underexplored heterocycles in a single step. These compounds were examined in an enzymatic assay that led to the identification of potent α-glucosidase inhibitors, thereby demonstrating the utility of this novel methodology in medicinal chemistry.

Abstract

A simple catalyst-free and solvent-free method for the hydroboration of various aldehydes bearing a wide array of electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups was developed. Unlike aldehydes, the addition of boranes to ketones is less efficient and is thus advantageous for the chemoselective reduction of the former ones. It is suggested that the described transformation proceeds with the formation of Lewis acid–base adducts, which facilitates further hydroboration.
4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-((4-methylbenzyl)oxy)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (3b) [1] 4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-2-((4-methylbenzyl)oxy)-1,3,2-dioxaborolane was obtained as colorless oil in 97% yield.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, we demonstrated a new method for radical mediated arylation of naphthoquinones using the combination of IBX with arylhydrazines. It does not require necessity of transition metal catalysis and prefunctionalization on naphthoquinone moiety. The reactions occurred under mild conditions in open atmosphere. Further, both 2-hydroxy and 2-amino groups were found to be tolerated under optimized reaction conditions. This fact could be attributed to rapid reaction between IBX and phenyl hydrazine. A postulated radical mediated mechanism was supported by radical trapping experiments. Developed protocols were successfully extended towards an effective, short and high yielding synthesis of benzocarbazoledione. IBX mediated developed protocols for arylation could open a new field in quinone chemistry as well as in the development of new procedures for arylation of electron deficient molecules in near future

Abstract

Oxidative arylation of naphthoquinones has been developed through combination of o-iodoxybenzoic acid with arylhydrazines under mild conditions at open atmosphere. Arylated naphthoquinones with different electronic properties were obtained in moderate to good yields. The postulated radical mediated mechanism is supported by radical trapping experiments. Developed protocol for direct arylation of naphthoquinones has been extended toward short, high yielding, and an effective synthesis of antitumor–antibiotic precursor such as benzocarbazoledione.
