    Highly Efficient Camphor-Derived Oxaziridines for the Asymmetric Oxidation of Sulfides to Chiral Sulfoxides Vassilios Meladinis, Uwe Verfürth, and Rudolf Herrmann* Organisch-Chemisches Institut der Technischen Universität München, Lichtenbergstraße 4, D-8046 Garching, Bundesrepublik Deutschland Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Ivar Ugi on the occasion o f his 60th birthday Z. Naturforsch. 45b, 1689- 1694 (1990); received May 18, 1990 Asymmetric Oxidation, N-Sulfonyl-oxaziridines, Chiral Sulfoxides, Camphorsulfonic Acid Chiral N-sulfonyl-oxaziridines derived from 8 -camphorsulfonic acid and fenchone have been evaluated as asymmetric oxidizing agents for the conversion of sulfides to chiral sulf­ oxides. There is no correlation between the redox potentials nor the lvO NMR chemical shifts of the oxaziridines and their relative oxidation rates, nor with the enantiomeric excesses achieved, indicating that steric effects are responsible for their behaviour. The results are con­ sistent with an attack of one sulfur lone pair at the oxaziridine oxygen in such a way that both sulfur lone pairs lie in the plane of the oxaziridine ring. The most efficient oxaziridines, the camphorlactone-sulfonyloxaziridine [(4aS,9aR)-10,10-dimethyl-6,7-dihydro-4H-4a,7-meth- ano-oxazirino[3,2-j]oxepino[3,4-c]isothiazol-9(5 H)-one 3,3-dioxide] and the 3-endo-bromo- camphorsulfonyloxaziridine [(4aS,8 S ,8 aR)-8-bromo-9,9-dimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro-4 H- 4a,7-methano-oxazirino-2,l-benzisothiazole 3,3-dioxide] allow the preparation of chiral sul­ foxides with up to 85% enantiomeric excess.

  • Progress Toward the Total Synthesis of Terpenoid Natural Products: the Neomangicols and the Yohimbine Alkaloids
    Progress Toward the Total Synthesis of Terpenoid Natural Products: the Neomangicols and the Yohimbine Alkaloids By Jessica Louise Wood A dissertation in submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Richmond Sarpong, Chair Professor F. Dean Toste Professor Leonard Bjeldanes Fall 2011 Abstract Progress Toward the Total Synthesis of Terpenoid Natural Products: the Neomangicols and the Yohimbine Alkaloids by Jessica Louise Wood Doctor of Philosophy in Chemistry University of California, Berkeley Professor Richmond Sarpong, Chair Progress has been made toward the total synthesis of a diverse array of natural products. Chapter 1 begins by introducing the isolation, bioactivity, and biosynthesis of the neomangicol and mangicol sesterterpenoids. Subsequent to that introduction, a summary of previous synthetic approaches to these natural products is presented. In the third section, our synthetic approaches are detailed, beginning with a first generation synthesis of the ABD tricycle, followed by a description of our revised route to the neomangicol tetracyclic core and our work toward the rearrangement of that core to the mangicol spirocyclic core. This chapter concludes with a summary of our accomplishments in this natural product area and outlines several strategies to achieve the desired rearrangement. The last section also includes our initial studies into the formation of the mangicol core. Preliminary work toward the synthesis of the ABD tricycle was performed by Dr. Brian Pujanauski. Chapter 2 details our work in the area of the yohimbine alkaloids. It begins with an introduction to these pentacyclic indole-containing natural products, discussing their isolation, proposed biosynthesis and giving a brief overview of the rich bioactivity that has been ascertained for these molecules.

  • A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds
    A Publication of Reliable Methods for the Preparation of Organic Compounds Working with Hazardous Chemicals The procedures in Organic Syntheses are intended for use only by persons with proper training in experimental organic chemistry. All hazardous materials should be handled using the standard procedures for work with chemicals described in references such as "Prudent Practices in the Laboratory" (The National Academies Press, Washington, D.C., 2011; the full text can be accessed free of charge at http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=12654). All chemical waste should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations. For general guidelines for the management of chemical waste, see Chapter 8 of Prudent Practices. In some articles in Organic Syntheses, chemical-specific hazards are highlighted in red “Caution Notes” within a procedure. It is important to recognize that the absence of a caution note does not imply that no significant hazards are associated with the chemicals involved in that procedure. Prior to performing a reaction, a thorough risk assessment should be carried out that includes a review of the potential hazards associated with each chemical and experimental operation on the scale that is planned for the procedure. Guidelines for carrying out a risk assessment and for analyzing the hazards associated with chemicals can be found in Chapter 4 of Prudent Practices. The procedures described in Organic Syntheses are provided as published and are conducted at one's own risk.

Received: 7 June 2002 / Accepted: 30 October 2002 / Published: 30 November 2002 Abstract: We report the syntheses of antifungals containing the novel pharmacophores: oxaziridines, sulfonyloxaziridines, nitrones and nitronyl nitroxides. We hypothesized that multiple copies of the pharmacophore per molecule might be a prerequisite to enhance efficacy against the opportunistic pathogen, Pneumocystis carinii. Therefore structural optimization of the leads was based on this new “multivalency” approach. All bisoxaziridines were inactive, but a trisoxaziridine caused ca. 50% reduction of the number of P. carinii tropozoites, compared to TMP-SMX, and a hexaoxaziridine at 1 µg/ml showed activity comparable to the currently used drug, TMP-SMX. Insertion of three units of the nitronyl nitroxide pharmacophore per molecule afforded an antifungal triradical with activity comparable to TMP-SMX at 1 µg/ml; at 25 µg/ml and at 10 µg/ml the triradical was better. The results lend further support to the oxidoredox pharmacophore hypothesis, and the enhancement of activities observed demonstrates the high potential and benefits of applying the concept of multivalency to drug development. Keywords: AIDS, opportunistic infections, Pneumocystis carinii, multivalency in drug design, antifungals, oxaziridines, sulfonyloxaziridines, nitrones, nitronyl nitroxides.

  • A Thesis Entitled "RING CLEAVAGE of OXAZIRID]NES" Submitted By
    A thesis entitled "RING CLEAVAGE OF OXAZIRID]NES" submitted by ANA MARIA FELIX TRINDADE LOBO in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Science University of London Imperial College, October,1971 London, S.W.7. i 2 ABSTRACT A general survey of the chemistry of oxaziridines is presented, previous studies on the mechanism of the acid and base catalysed hydrolysis are critically reviewed and the results discussed in relation with the hydrolysis of compounds with related structures. Results of the acid hydrolysis of several oxaziridines are reported and agree with previous findings. These accord with a mechanism involving the breakdown of an 0-conjugate acid intermediate to give either a carbonium ion or an immonium ion structure, which subsequently reacts-with water. The importance of each pathway depends on the nature of the 3-substituent. The proton of to the ring nitrogen seems to be involved in the rate determining step for the reaction of 2-primary-alkyl 3-alkyl oxaziridines. For 2-secondary-alkyl 3- alkyl compounds extensive migration of an 45( group occurs and steric requirements and migratory aptitudes seem to be important. Inves- tigations of the site of protonation suggest N as the most likely site, although hydrolysis probably proceeds via the 0-conjugate acid: pK values for oxaziridines reflect the nature of the 3-substituent A as well as the degree of branching at position 2 and lie in the range -1.9 to +0.30. Results of basic hydrolysis of several oxaziridines are reported and are consistent with earlier findings.

NOOR ARMYLISAS BINTI ABU HASSAN ii ABSTRACT New Green Technologies for Organocatalytic Asymmetric Epoxidation Applications in Synthesis Noor Armylisas Binti Abu Hassan This thesis describes the application of asymmetric epoxidation reactions on chromene substrates mediated by Page’s iminium salt catalysts. Organocatalytic asymmetric epoxidation is an efficient tool to access enantiomerically rich epoxides. This study is divided into three main parts which are discussed in each chapter. The first part of this research is the preparation of iminium salt catalysts followed by synthesis of several chromene substrates. The final part is the application of the asymmetric epoxidation of the readily prepared iminium salts on chromene substrates. The first chapter reviews brief introduction and historical background of organocatalysis, chromene substrates and asymmetric epoxidation reactions.
