Title: Part 1 - The Total Synthesis of (±)-Cinnamodialand Related Drimane Sesquiterpenes Part 2 - Photochemical Activation ofthe Carboxyl Group Via NAcy1-2-thionothiazolidines Abstract approved: Redacted for privacy DT. James D. White Part I A total synthesis of the insect antifeedant(±)-cinnamodial ( ) and of the related drimanesesquiterpenes (±)-isodrimenin (67) and (±)-fragrolide (72)are described from the diene diester 49. Hydro- boration of 49 provided the C-6oxygenation and the trans ring junction in the form of alcohol 61. To confirm the stereoselectivity of the hydroboration, 61 was convertedto both (t)-isodrimenin (67) and (±)-fragrolide (72) in 3 steps. A diisobutylaluminum hydride reduction of 61 followed by a pyridiniumchlorochromate oxidation and treatment with lead tetraacetate yielded the dihydrodiacetoxyfuran102. The base induced elimination of acetic acid preceded theepoxidation and provided 106 which contains the desired hydroxy dialdehydefunctionality of cinnamodial in a protected form. The epoxide 106 was opened with methanol to yield the acetal 112. Reduction, hydrolysis and acetylation of 112 yielded (t)- cinnamodial in 19% overall yield. Part II - Various N- acyl- 2- thionothiazolidineswere prepared and photo- lysed in the presence of ethanol to provide the corresponding ethyl esters. The photochemical activation of the carboxyl function via these derivatives appears, for practical purposes, to be restricted tocases where a-keto hydrogen abstraction and subsequent ketene formation is favored by acyl substitution.

  • Reductive Amination with [11C]Formaldehyde: a Versatile Approach to Radiomethylation of Amines
    International Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2012, 2, 202-223 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ijoc.2012.23030 Published Online September 2012 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/ijoc) Reductive Amination with [11C]Formaldehyde: A Versatile Approach to Radiomethylation of Amines Chunying Wu1, Ruoshi Li1, Dorr Dearborn2, Yanming Wang1* 1Division of Radiopharmaceutical Science, Case Center for Imaging Research, Department of Radiology, Cleveland, USA 2Environmental Health, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, USA Email: *[email protected] Received February 16, 2012; revised March 24, 2012; accepted April 2, 2012 ABSTRACT Carbon-11 radiolabeled amines constitute a very important class of radioligands that are widely used for positron emis- 11 sion tomography (PET) imaging. Radiolabeling of amines is often achieved through radiomethylation using [ C]CH3I 11 or [ C]CH3OTf under basic conditions in a strictly anhydrous environment. Functional groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups that are often present in the molecules are normally base sensitive and require protection and deprotec- tion, which substantially prolongs and complicates the radiolabeling process. Here we report a versatile approach to a series of C-11 radiolabeled amines prepared through reductive amination using [11C]formaldehyde. Using a variety of substrates bearing different functional groups, we demonstrate the general utility of this method. In contrast to conven- tional radiomethylation methods, the reductive amination using [11C]formaldehyde can be carried out in an aqueous environment relatively quickly without the need of protection of base-sensitive functional groups. Keywords: C-11 Formaldehyde; Radiomethylation; Reductive Amination; Positron Emission Tomography; Radiolabelling 1. Introduction probes must be labeled with positron-emitting radionu- clides such as carbon-11 or fluorine-18.

  • Chapter 18 Amines in Order for a Drug to Be Effective Orally, It Generally
    Chapter 18 Amines In order for a drug to be effective orally, it generally has to be reasonable soluble in water so that it can be transported through the blood. Since amines are weak bases, they are often converted to salts with some acid and therefore may oral drugs have amine salts as part of their structure. One reason for their presence is that they confer some water solubility to the drug. The three-dimensional models show the shapes of amine molecules; notice the lone pair of electrons on nitrogen is not shown but affects the geometry about the nitrogen Primary, secondary and tertiary amines have 1, 2 or 3 alkyl groups attached to nitrogen. In these cases the alkyl group is the methyl In the IUPAC system, STEP 1 Name the longest carbon chain bonded to the N atoms as alkanamines by replacing e of the alkane name with amine.

  • Electrochemistry and Photoredox Catalysis: a Comparative Evaluation in Organic Synthesis
    molecules Review Electrochemistry and Photoredox Catalysis: A Comparative Evaluation in Organic Synthesis Rik H. Verschueren and Wim M. De Borggraeve * Department of Chemistry, Molecular Design and Synthesis, KU Leuven, Celestijnenlaan 200F, box 2404, 3001 Leuven, Belgium; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +32-16-32-7693 Received: 30 March 2019; Accepted: 23 May 2019; Published: 5 June 2019 Abstract: This review provides an overview of synthetic transformations that have been performed by both electro- and photoredox catalysis. Both toolboxes are evaluated and compared in their ability to enable said transformations. Analogies and distinctions are formulated to obtain a better understanding in both research areas. This knowledge can be used to conceptualize new methodological strategies for either of both approaches starting from the other. It was attempted to extract key components that can be used as guidelines to refine, complement and innovate these two disciplines of organic synthesis. Keywords: electrosynthesis; electrocatalysis; photocatalysis; photochemistry; electron transfer; redox catalysis; radical chemistry; organic synthesis; green chemistry 1. Introduction Both electrochemistry as well as photoredox catalysis have gone through a recent renaissance, bringing forth a whole range of both improved and new transformations previously thought impossible. In their growth, inspiration was found in older established radical chemistry, as well as from cross-pollination between the two toolboxes. In scientific discussion, photoredox catalysis and electrochemistry are often mentioned alongside each other. Nonetheless, no review has attempted a comparative evaluation of both fields in organic synthesis. Both research areas use electrons as reagents to generate open-shell radical intermediates. Because of the similar modes of action, many transformations have been translated from electrochemical to photoredox methodology and vice versa.
