be found in nature. They can be considered as vital structures for the chemistry of living organisms.1 For example, pyrimidine and purine which are the building blocks of DNA and RNA are two important mono- and bicyclic heteroaromatic compounds.2 Besides, three of the twenty proteinogenic amino acids; namely histidine, tryptophan, and proline contain N-heterocyclic motifs (Figure 1). Imidazole and indole are two N-heteroaromatic structures that are found in the former two, respectively.1 Figure 1. Amino acids with N-heterocycles When considering the existence of N-heterocycles in nature, it is inevitable that medicinal chemists pay special attention to this class of compounds. A recently published report3 analyzed that 59% of unique small-molecule drugs approved by the Food and Drug Agency (FDA) in the United States contains at least one nitrogen heterocycle. While the majority of N-heterocycles are five- and six-membered rings, around 40% of them are aromatic. Figure 2 shows the top five aromatic and non-aromatic N-heterocycles. Figure 2. Common aromatic and non-aromatic N-heterocycles in small-molecule drugs Pyridine and piperidine are the most common structures among aromatic and non-aromatic N-heterocyclic compounds, respectively. In addition to their pharmaceutical use, nitrogen 1 1 INTRODUCTION containing heteroaromatic compounds have many applications in materials science as well.4- 7 1.2 Indolizines Indolizine is a bicyclic heteroaromatic compound and analogue of indole. It can also be described as a fused heterocycle which is the combination of an electron-deficient pyridine and an electron-excessive pyrrole by overlapping of two C-N bonds from each ring (Figure 3).8 Figure 3. Structure of the indolizine This fully conjugated 10-system was first described by Angeli in 1890.9 Twenty-two years later, the first synthesis of the unsubstituted indolizine was accomplished by Scholtz.10 Since its discovery, indolizine had been called pyrrocoline, pyrrole[1,2-a]pyridine, pyrindole, and pyrrodine. The term indolizine was first suggested by Tschitschibabin and has been used by German and Japanese scientists.11 Although the non-fused indolizines have not been found in nature,12

N. Namboothiri*b and Seyyed Emad Hooshmanda The applications of nitroalkenes in the synthesis of three- to five-membered O, N and S-heterocycles, including natural products are investigated in this review. These heterocyclic compounds were synthesized from nitroalkenes with a variety of substituents at the a and b-positions and those that were part of common and medium rings via a wide variety of reactions such as Michael addition reactions, epoxidation, [3 + 2] cycloaddition and many cascade/domino/tandem reactions. In addition, the potential of nitroalkenes to take part in multi-component and cascade reactions, particularly, in diastereo- and enantioselective versions is reviewed. The high reactivity of nitroalkenes and their Received 18th August 2014 potential to coordinate with the metal catalysts as well as organocatalysts signify them as efficient Accepted 16th September 2014 precursors in synthetic organic chemistry. Also, the flexibility of the nitro group in functional group DOI: 10.1039/c4ra08828j manipulations has expanded the scope of the nitro group, in general, and nitroalkenes, in particular, in www.rsc.org/advances organic synthesis. aFaculty of Chemistry, Kharazmi University, 49 Mofateh St., Tehran, Iran.

  • Total Synthesis of 1,2- Diamine Contained Alkaloids, Schizozygine, Vallesamidine and Strempeliopine (Chapter 1 and 2)
    Towards Schizozygine Type Alkaloids: Total Synthesis of (+)-Vallesamidine and (+)-Strempeliopine by Xiangyu Zhang A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Chemistry University College London Declaration I, Xiangyu Zhang, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Signed: Date: i Abstract As a classic and powerful tool for carbon-carbon bond formation, the nitro-Mannich reaction has shown its versatility in drugs and natural products syntheses. The 1,2- diamine structure, a reduced moiety from nitro-Mannich adduct, is widely present in naturally occurring alkaloids and this feature suggested the potential application of nitro- mannich reaction in such alkaloids synthesis. This thesis showcases the nitro-Mannich reaction as a key strategic reaction through studies towards the total synthesis of 1,2- diamine contained alkaloids, schizozygine, vallesamidine and strempeliopine (Chapter 1 and 2). Initial studies on the schizozygine molecule (Chapter 3) generated a diastereoselective nitro-Mannich reaction on -branched nitroalkanes to synthesise complex -nitroamines with three contigurous chiral centres and syn,anti stereochemistry. This reaction was followed by a reductive cyclisation to achieve the functionalised piperidine ring C. Although the subsequent manipulation towards advanced shcizozygine intermediate was unsuccessful, the nitro-Mannich/reductive cyclisation sequence provided methodology for highly functionalised piperidine ring synthesis. A second generation route using nitro-Mannich reaction was accompanied by other nitro group chemistry, Michael addition, Tsuji-Trost allylation and nitro group reduction/C-N coupling reaction, to realise the quick and concise preparation of an A/B/C ring intermediate.

Rasmussen Career Development Professor of Food Science Barbara Garrison Shapiro Professor of Chemistry Head of the Department of Chemistry *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT In work directed toward a total synthesis of the Lycopodium alkaloid lycopladine H (21), several strategies have been explored based on key tandem oxidative dearomatization/Diels-Alder reactions of o-quinone ketals. Both intra- and intermolecular approaches were examined, with the greatest success coming from dearomatization of bromophenol 84b followed by cycloaddition of the resulting dienone with nitroethylene to provide the bicyclo[2.2.2]octane core 203 of the natural product. The C-5 center was established via a stereoselective Henry reaction with formaldehyde to form 228, and the C-12 center was set through addition of vinyl cerium to the C-12 ketone to give 272. A novel intramolecular hydroaminomethylation of vinyl amine 272 was used to construct the 8-membered azocane ring in intermediate 322, resulting in establishment of 3 of the 4 rings present in the natural product 21 in 9 steps from known readily available compounds.

  • The Case of Silodosin
    Department of Chemistry Doctorate School in Industrial Chemical - XXVII Cycle New processes for the APIs industrial production: the case of silodosin Ph. D. Thesis of Francesco CALOGERO R09773 Tutor: Prof. Daniele Passarella Cotutor: Dr. Emanuele Attolino Coordinator: Prof. Dominique Roberto Academic Year: 2013/2014 Ai miei genitori Dietro ogni problema c’è un’opportunità (Behind every problem there is an opportunity) Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) ABSTRACT This thesis is focused on the development of new synthetic processes for the production of already known Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). The research work was performed in the laboratories of Dipharma Francis srl, a company which operates in the generic drug market. The launch of the generic version of a drug in the market often leads to lowering of product prices for both the branded product and the generic ones. For this reason, the process adopted to produce an API has to be innovative, efficient, safe and, of course, cheaper than the existing ones, in order to be competitive in the market. During my Ph.D. I worked on the synthesis of some APIs, in particular here I report the feasibility and development studies of an alternative process to produce silodosin. Silodosin is an API used as a treatment for the symptoms of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). In order to establish the synthetic strategy and to outline our freedom to operate, an accurate survey of the whole patent literature about silodosin has been done. During the feasibility study several synthetic approaches have been tried in order to functionalise indoline at positions 5 and 7.
