Abstract:: Pd/C catalyzed decarboxylation-transfer hydrogenation of quinoline carboxylic acids and transfer hydrogenation of quinolines had been developed for the synthesis of 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinolines. These two processes were implemented smoothly using Pd/C (0.9 mol%) as catalyst with ammonium formate as hydrogen source in ethanol at 80 oC. The reaction system also can be applied to transfer hydrogenation of benzo[h]quinoline and 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline with good to excellent yields. And the gram scale and recycling of catalyst had been tested with good results. Furtherly, the mechanism of Pd/C catalyzed reduction of quinoline carboxylic acids and quinolines had been proposed.

Three Roe-protected fragments of the human leukocyte interferon, LeIFA, have been synthesized: I, BOC LeIFA (99-105) (BOC-Val-Ile-Gln-Gly-Val-Gly-Val); II, BOC Lei FA (116-119) (BOC-Ile-Leu-Ala-Val); III, BOC LeIFA (123-126) (BOC-Phe-Gln-Arg(Tos)-Ile). The presence of the Boc-group was desired so that these peptides could serve as intermediates in fragment condensation toward larger segments of interferon. To achieve these intermediates, a study was desirable on three methods of cleavage of the benzyl ester-polymer bonds. It was found that hydrogenolysis with hydrogen and palla­dium generated in situ was distinctly superior to transfer hydrogenation with ammonium formate or cyclohexene. An effective swelling of the peptide-resin to allow penetration of palladium acetate into the matrix and mobility of the peptide chains on the resin to expose the bonzyl ester bond to hydrogenolysis appear to be essential conditions for the best cleavage.
