Stereoselective Epoxidation

A library of 1,2-aminoalcohol derivatives with a neoisopulegol-based octahydrobenzofuran core was developed and applied as chiral catalysts in the addition of diethylzinc to benzaldehyde. The allylic chlorination of (+)-neoisopulegol, derived from natural (–)-isopulegol followed by cyclization, gave the key methyleneoctahydrobenzofuran intermediate. The stereoselective epoxidation of the key intermediate and subsequent oxirane ring opening with primary amines afforded the required 1,2-aminoalcohols. The ring closure of the secondary amine analogues with formaldehyde provided spiro-oxazolidine ring systems. The dihydroxylation of the methylenetetrahydrofuran moiety with OsO4/NMO (4-methylmorpholine N-oxide) resulted in the formation of a neoisopulegol-based diol in a highly stereoselective reaction. The antimicrobial activity of both the aminoalcohol derivatives and the diol was also explored.

Aldol Cyclization

A concise synthesis of yaequinolones J1 and J2 is reported. The route is based on the aryne insertion into the σ- C–N-bond of an unsymmetric imide followed by a diastereoselective aldol cyclization of the resulting N-acylated aminobenzophenone. The chromene motif is generated in the first step by an organocatalytic tandem Knoevenagel-electrocyclization of citral and 2-bromoresorcinol. The approach adheres to the ideality-principle, using almost exclusively strategic bond-forming<br>reactions.

Derivatives Of

Alkylation of derivatives of 4-aryl-1-naphthols (I-V) by 2,3-epoxypropyl chloride in methanolic sodium hydroxide gave epoxy derivatives VI, VIII, IX, XI and XII, apart from products of cleavage of the oxirane ring, VII and X. Analogous alkylation of compounds I, IV and V by 2-(N,N-diethylamino)ethyl chloride hydrochloride in a two-phase medium afforded basic ethers XIII to XV. The cleavage of the oxirane ring in compound VI by the action of primary and secondary amines, piperidine and substituted piperazines led to compounds XVI-XXIV. Reaction of thionyl chloride with compounds XXI, XXII and XXIV gave chloro derivatives XXV-XXVII.Exposure of compound XXII to 4-methylbenzenesulfonyl chloride produced compound XXVIII, retaining the secondary alcoholic group. In an antineoplastic screening in vivo none of the compounds prepared had an appreciable activity. Compound XVII, being an analogue of propranolol, was used in the test of isoproterenolic tachycardia, and showed a beta-lytic effect comparable with that of propranol.

Neighboring Group Participation

The mechanism of perchloric acid cleavage of epoxides I and II was established on the basis of experiments using H2 18O. The 2α,3α-epoxide I gave two products: the cyclic ether V (60%) arising by 5(O)n participation of the 19-acetoxyl and the diol VI (40%). The latter compound is formed by two mechanisms: 1) By direct cleavage of the oxirane ring with H2 18O as external nucleophile and 2) by 7(O)π,n participation via the ion III. Under the same conditions the 5α,6α-epoxide II yielded two diols: The diequatorial diol VIII (96%) arising by 6(O)π,n participation and the diaxial diol IX which is again formed by both direct cleavage of the oxirane ring with H2 18O and by 7(O)π,n participation via the intermediate ion X. The competition of several mechanisms is discussed.

The quaternary pyridinium salts Ia-Ic react with alkaline solution of potassium ferricyanide to give the condensed heterocyclic derivatives IIIa, b, IV, whereas the salts Id-If give the pyrrole derivatives IIa-IIc under the same conditions. The diaza heterocycle IIIa reacts with methyl iodide to give methoiodide V, whereas by action of bromine it produces two monobromo derivatives VIa, b. The pyrrole derivatives IIa, b give monobromo derivatives IId, e on bromination. A probable mechanism of formation of the heterocyclic derivatives is discussed.

3-Methylfluorene-9-propionic acid (1) with hydrofluoric acid undergoes ring-closure on the substituted ring to give 1,2,3,10b-tetrahydro-5-methylfluoranthen-3-one (II).Wolff-Kishner reduction of the ketone yielded l,2,3,10b-tetrahydro-5-methylfluoranthene which on dehydrogenation gave 2-methylfluoranthene (III, R=H) identical with a sample prepared according to the method of Tucker (1952) and differing from 8-methylfluoranthene. This proved that ring-closure of (I) had occurred as expected on the methyl-bearing benzene ring. In this instance ring-closure occurs in the position meta to the methyl group and is reminiscent of the similar ring-closure of 2-phenyl-2-p-tolylpropionic acid to give 6-methyl-3-phenylindanone (Pfeiffer and Roos 1941). It thus provided a further example of the limitations of von Braun's statement that Friedel-Crafts ring-closure occurs much less readily at the position meta to a methyl group than on a phenyl ring (von Braun, Manz and Reinsch 1928).

The reaction-center light-harvesting complex 1 (RC-LH1) is the core photosynthetic component in purple phototrophic bacteria. We present two cryo–electron microscopy structures of RC-LH1 complexes from Rhodopseudomonas palustris. A 2.65-Å resolution structure of the RC-LH114-W complex consists of an open 14-subunit LH1 ring surrounding the RC interrupted by protein-W, whereas the complex without protein-W at 2.80-Å resolution comprises an RC completely encircled by a closed, 16-subunit LH1 ring. Comparison of these structures provides insights into quinone dynamics within RC-LH1 complexes, including a previously unidentified conformational change upon quinone binding at the RC QB site, and the locations of accessory quinone binding sites that aid their delivery to the RC. The structurally unique protein-W prevents LH1 ring closure, creating a channel for accelerated quinone/quinol exchange.
