Several steroidal [4,6-b,c]benzothiazepines have been prepared via base-catalyzed Michael addition of 2-aminothiophenol to 3β,17β-diacetoxyandrost-4-en-6-one. The product of this reaction has the 4β,5α stereochemistry, but cyclizes to a benzothiazepine with the steroidal 4β,5β configuration, confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis. 2-Aminothiophenol reacts with 3β,17β-diacetoxyandrost-4-en-6-one under acidic conditions to give a steroidal 6-spiro-benzothiazole. An androst-4-ene-3,17-dione-based [4,6]benzothiazepine has been shown to be a moderate competitive inhibitor of the human placental aromatase enzyme with IC50 = 42.3 µM. Keywords: steroid, aromatase, benzothiazepine.

AbstractThe Michael addition of enaminoesters to coumarins leads to the formation of the rearranged adduct 1 whose structure has been previously elucidated by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Now, N- and/or O-carbamoylation of the 6-amino-2-pyridone 1 by treatment with phenyl isocyanate in a molar ratio of 1:1 and 1:2 gave N-mono- (2a) or N,O-bis-(phenylcarbamoyl) (3) derivatives, respectively. Further transformations of the corresponding new 2-pyridone derivative 2a into the O-acetyl derivative 2b and the chromeno[3,4-c]pyridine 4 are reported as well.

Herein, we report a base-promoted Zn(II)–bis(oxazoline)-catalyzed one-pot Friedel–Crafts alkylation/Michael addition of 3-(indol-4-yl)acrylonitrile derivatives with trans-β-nitrostyrenes to yield the tricyclic core of the ergoline skeleton in up to 71% yield and 85% ee. During the purification of 3-(indol-4-yl)acrylonitrile, the key substrate for catalytic studies, a novel trans-cis-trans-cyclobutane derivative, thought to be formed via a [2+2] light-promoted cycloaddition, was identified by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Finally, a novel class of 4-substituted bis(indole)methane derivatives were serendipitously prepared in excellent yield by reacting 4-substituted indole derivatives with 4-nitrobenzaldehyde. One bis(indole)methane was characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

Two new diterpenes have been isolated from the resin of E. viscida Endl. Evidence for their structure was obtained from spectroscopic data and from X-ray crystallographic analysis which show them to be members of a new class of diterpenes containing a C 5 extended acorane skeleton.

Under the influence of the very strong base, the sodium salt of 1,2-diaminoethane in 1,2-diaminoethane, 2-tetradecynoic acid is converted to 3-tetradecynoic acid (35%) and a novel dimer 3. Compound 3 ((Z)-2-(1-dodecynyl)-3-undecyl-pent-2-en-1,5-dioic diacid) is isolated as the monomethyl ester 1 after treatment of the crude product with methanolic HCl. The structures of 1 and 3 are deduced from an X-ray crystallographic analysis of the dimethyl ester 2 obtained by reaction of 1 with diazomethane. The dimer 3 is thought to arise from Michael addition of the dianion 4 of 3-tetradecynoic acid with the sodium salt of 2-tetradecynoic acid.

AbstractEnantiopure Boc-protected piperidine derivative (+)-5c, with a quaternary stereocenter, was obtained by copper-catalyzed, L-valine diethylamide-mediated Michael reaction. For determination of the absolute configuration, 5c was derivatized by cyclization with pyrrolidine/AcOH to give compound 6 with bicyclo[4.4.0]-constitution, deprotection of the amino function with TFA and subsequent reaction with 2-iodobenzoic acid to yield the crystalline bicyclic amide 7. X-ray crystallographic analysis confirmed the constitution of compounds 5c and 6 and established the (R) configuration of 7. Thus, starting Michael addition product (+)-5c has to be (S) configured, because an epimerization at the quaternary stereocenter is excluded. This result is in accordance with our working model of the Cu-catalyzed, auxiliary-assisted Michael reaction.

Labile 1,6-dihydroxy-2-hexanone (4) was prepared from the corresponding triol by selective di-O-tritylation, Collins oxidation, and careful detritylation of the resulting keto compound 3 under mild, acidic conditions. As shown by its 1Hmr and 13Cmr spectra, 4 exists as a 3:2 mixture of open-chain and cyclic forms, respectively, at equilibrium in deuterium oxide (25 °C). Upon standing, 4 is slowly converted into a hemiacetalic dimer. Under acidic conditions, dehydrative dimerization takes place to give the corresponding tricyclic dianhydride, one or both of the possible isomers (1:1 mixture) of which being formed according to the presence or absence of water in the medium. The structure (trans) of the thermodynamic isomer 5 was firmly established by an X-ray crystallographic analysis.

AbstractWe have developed a concise diastereoselective total synthesis of (±)-parvistemonine A. By using a Mukaiyama–Michael addition, an aza-Wittig reaction, a Paal–Knorr pyrrole synthesis, an acid-mediated annulation, and a Mitsunobu reaction as key steps, we achieved a total synthesis in which the longest linear sequence was ten steps and the overall yield was 19.6%. Additionally, the relative stereochemistry of parvistemonine A was confirmed by X-ray crystallographic analysis for the first time.

A chiral tricyclic terpene possessing a 6,6,6-tricyclic framework and a 3,3-dimethyl-7-oxooctylidenyl side chain undergoes a double ring-closing reaction to give two chiral pentacyclic terpenes in a ratio of 4:3 via an intramolecular Michael addition followed by aldol condensation under basic conditions. Three new stereogenic centers are introduced in the initial Michael annulation reaction. Stereoselective installation of an ethoxycarbonyl group at C17 of the two pentacyclic terpenes separately gives the corresponding highly functionalized pentacyclic terpenoids with seven stereogenic centers. The structures and stereochemistry of key intermediates and products are established through X-ray crystallographic analysis. A mechanism is proposed for explaining the stereochemistry in the Michael annulation reaction.

A number of 2-aryl-2 H-chromene-4-carbonitriles were synthesised by cyanation of 2-aryl-3-nitro-2 H-chromenes using trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) in the presence of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) in moderate yields via a Michael addition/elimination pathway. The structures of all the products were characterised thoroughly by NMR, IR and HRMS spectroscopy and X-ray crystallographic analysis.
