Absolute Stereochemistry

This study reported an asymmetric synthesis of 1,2-limonene epoxides. The absolute stereochemistry was controlled by a Jacobsen epoxidation of cis-1,2-limonene epoxide (with diastereomeric excess of 98%) and trans-1,2-limonene epoxide (with diastereomeric excess of 94%), which could be used as important raw materials for the preparation of related cannabinoid drugs.

Absolute Stereochemistry

Stoichiometric reagents for the control of the absolute stereochemistry of new chiral centres produced during reactions involving carbon-carbon bond formation are described. Chiral iron acyl reagents act as chiral equivalents of a variety of carbonyl functionalities and their potential for asymmetric synthesis can be illustrated for pseudopeptides, amino acids, P-lactams, y-lactams and lactones. A simple methodology based on arene chromium tricarbonyl chemistry allows the elaboration of benzylic chiral centres with complete control over the absolute stereochemistry. This may be illustrated, for example, by the conversion of amphetamine derivatives into pseudoephedrines.

Absolute Stereochemistry

Two analogs of podophyllotoxin, with the same absolute stereochemistry as the natural product, have been synthesized from the cycloadduct between α-hydroxy-α′-phenyl-o-quinodimefhane and the fumarate of S-methyl lactate. After initial attempts to produce the cycloadduct from photochemically generated α-hydroxy-α′-phenyl-o-quinodimethane failed, a study of the thermal generation and reaction of α-hydroxy-o-quinodimethane with the fumarate and acrylate of S-methyl lactate was made. A comparison was made of the diastereoselectivity of these cycloaddition reactions to those previously reported, in which the o-quinodimethane was generated photochemically. The α-hydroxy-o-quinodimethane was produced both by the known thermolysis of benzocyclobutenol and by thermolysis of 1-hydroxy-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene-2,2-dioxide. The diastereomeric excess for the cycloaddition reactions was found to be greater than 95% with modest (ca. 55%) isolated yields of the major cycloadducts. Following these model studies, it was found that α-hydroxy-α′-phenyl-o-quinodimethane produced thermally from 1-hydroxy-3-phenyl-1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]thiophene-2,2-dioxide could be added to the fumarate of S-methyl lactate with high diastereoselectivity and good yield. The product of this reaction was converted to the podophyllotoxin analogs 7 and 17. Keywords: o-quinodimethanes, asymmetric, Diels–Alder, lactate, podophyllotoxin, lignan.

Absolute Stereochemistry

The 8aR absolute stereochemistry of Wieland-Miescher ketone (-)-I was established by the X-ray structure analysis of its bis(4-bromobenzoate) derivatives (1R,6R,8aR)-(+)-IV and (1R,6S,8aR)-(-)-V. The absolute configuration of (-)-I was corroborated further by the application of the CD exciton chirality method to bis(4-bromobenzoates) (+)-IV and (-)-V.

Recent Developments

Nitriles comprise a broad group of chemicals that are currently being industrially produced and used in fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals, as well as in bulk applications, polymer chemistry, solvents, etc. Aldoxime dehydratases catalyze the cyanide-free synthesis of nitriles starting from aldoximes under mild conditions, holding potential to become sustainable alternatives for industrial processes. Different aldoxime dehydratases accept a broad range of aldoximes with impressive high substrate loadings of up to >1 Kg L−1 and can efficiently catalyze the reaction in aqueous media as well as in non-aqueous systems, such as organic solvents and solvent-free (neat substrates). This paper provides an overview of the recent developments in this field with emphasis on strategies that may be of relevance for industry and sustainability. When possible, potential links to biorefineries and to the use of biogenic raw materials are discussed.
