  • Simple Molecules, Highly Efficient Amination 1
    1 1 Simple Molecules, Highly Effi cient Amination Shunsuke Chiba and Koichi Narasaka 1.1 Introduction In the last two decades, explosive progress has been made in synthetic methods for production of amino compounds, due to their rapidly increasing applications in pharmaceutical and material sciences. Development of amination reagents for the construction of new carbon – nitrogen bonds is one of the most important and basic processes for the synthesis of amino molecules, and this chapter introduces simple and useful amination reagents classifi ed by reaction type, such as electro- philic amination reagents, including transition metal – nitrene and nitrido complexes, radical- mediated amination reagents, and nucleophilic amination (Gabriel - type) reagents. 1.2 Hydroxylamine Derivatives Hydroxylamine derivatives are one of the most versatile and simple amination reagents, leading the variety of nitrogen - containing compounds. This section mainly focuses on recent advances in electrophilic amination of carbon nucleo- philes with various hydroxylamine derivatives. 1.2.1 O - Sulfonylhydroxylamine Tamura has reported the synthesis of O - mesitylsulfonylhydroxylamine (MSH; 1 ; Figure 1.1 ) and related compounds and has examined their reactions with various nucleophiles in detail [1] . With regard to the formation of C − N bonds by the use of MSH, however, the applicable carbanions were quite limited – to stabilized enolates only – and the product yields of the resulting amines were quite low. The electrophilic amination of organolithium compounds with the methyllithium - methoxyamine system, long recognized as a potentially useful Amino Group Chemistry.

  • We Utilized a Similar Approach with DEP-Chymotryp- Two of The
    PROBING THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE ACTIVE SITE OF a-CHYMOTRYPSIN BY BERNARD F. ERLANGER DEPARTMENT OF MICROBIOLOGY, COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS AND SURGEONS, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Communicated by Erwin Chargaff, May 16, 1967 This paper is a report of a study of the topography of the active center of a- chymotrypsin. In particular, it will deal with that portion involved in sub- strate binding and with its position in space relative to the nucleophilic serine residue that is believed to function in the catalytic mechanism.1 Since an enzyme must accommodate a substrate, the simplest approach to an understanding of the topography of the former might be a study of the conformation of the latter. However, this is not feasible with chymotrypsin. A typical sub- strate of chymotrypsin is acetyl L-phenylalanine ethyl ester.1 There is much evi- dence linking the susceptibility of this substrate to the aromatic ring of the amino acid (though aromaticity is not necessary since cyclic hexahydro derivatives are also substrates)2 and to the acylamido portion of the molecule. Benzoylamido may substitute for acetylamido and, in fact, yields a somewhat better substrate (higher keat)3 in the case of acyl L-tyrosine amide. However, since all of the above substrates are flexible molecules and therefore able to assume many conformations, there is no way of knowing their conformation when bound to the active center of a-chymotrypsin. In our early studies we chose to use an approach based upon the experiments of Wilson with acetylcholinesterase.4 Acetylcholinesterase and chymotrypsin belong to the class of enzymes called serine esterases.1 All members of this class contain an unusually reactive serine residue which acts as a nucleophile in the catalytic mechanism.

  • Unexpected Migration of Benzoyl Group in the Synthesis of 3-Benzoyl-2-Phenylbenzofurans Under Wittig Conditions †
    Proceedings Unexpected Migration of Benzoyl Group in the Synthesis of 3-Benzoyl-2-Phenylbenzofurans under Wittig Conditions † Giovanna Lucia Delogu* and Michela Begala Dipartimento di Scienze della Vita e dell’Ambiente, Università degli Studi di Cagliari, 09124 Cagliari, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +39-070-675-8566 † Presented at the 22nd International Electronic Conference on Synthetic Organic Chemistry, 15 November– 15 December 2018; Available Online: https://sciforum.net/conference/ecsoc-22. Published: 14 November 2018 Abstract: In the present work, we report the unexpected formation of isomeric 3-benzoyl-2- phenylbenzo[b]furans using triphenylphosphonium salt and benzoyl chlorides under Wittig conditions. In particular, we found that the o-[(benzoyloxy)benzyl]-triphenyl-phosphoranes constitute the key intermediate that reasonably undergoes benzoyl group migration. Keywords: Wittig reaction; 3-aroyl-2-phenylbenzofurans; phosphorane 1. Introduction 3-Aroyl[b]benzofurans represent the structural cores of a large number of bioactive molecules in current pharmaceutical use or development. As a result, numerous approaches towards the synthesis of 3-acylbenzofurans have been disclosed in the literature. The Wittig reaction is an easy procedure for the benzofuran ring system. In a previous paper, Hercouet and Le Corre reported that the intramolecular condensation of o-acyloxybenzylidenetriph enylphosphoranes II leads to benzofuran in aprotic medium (toluene) or acylated product in protic medium (t-BuOH) [1,2]. We recently found that the reaction of the triphenylphosphonium salt and aroyl chlorides in toluene leads together with the expected 2-phenylbenzofurans 3 also to 3-benzoyl-2-phenylbenzo[b] furans 4 via ylide acylation under Wittig conditions (Scheme 1) [3].

Received: 27 August 2010; in revised form: 8 October 2010 / Accepted: 14 October 2010 / Published: 27 October 2010 Abstract: Oligodeoxynucleotide (ODN) synthesis, which avoids the formation of side products, is of great importance to biochemistry-based technology development. One side reaction of ODN synthesis is the cyanoethylation of the nucleobases. We suppressed this reaction by synthesizing ODNs using fully protected deoxynucleoside 3′-phosphoramidite building blocks, where the remaining reactive nucleobase residues were completely protected with acyl-, diacyl-, and acyl-oxyethylene-type groups. The detailed analysis of cyanoethylation at the nucleobase site showed that N3-protection of the thymine base efficiently suppressed the Michael addition of acrylonitrile. An ODN incorporating N3-cyanoethylthymine was synthesized using the phosphoramidite method, and primer extension reactions involving this ODN template were examined. As a result, the modified thymine produced has been proven to serve as a chain terminator.
