Electrochemical imination of sulfoxides using N-aminophthalimide.

[reaction: see text] A novel electrochemical sulfoxide imination process is described. Our approach starts with a highly selective nitrene transfer from N-aminophthalimide to a variety of sulfoxides. This oxidative treatment is followed by reductive N-N bond cleavage under the controlled current conditions, which leads to a range of parent NH sulfoximines. In addition to solving the challenging problem of removing the N-phthalimido group, the overall process avoids the use of toxic oxidants and metal additives.

Practical asymmetric synthesis of beta-trichloromethyl-beta-hydroxy ketones by the reaction of chloral or chloral hydrate with chiral imines.

[reaction: see text] Chloral or its hydrate undergoes the carbon-carbon bond-formation reaction with various optically active imines in the absence of any additive, followed by hydrolysis, to produce the corresponding beta-trichloromethyl-beta-hydroxy ketones in good yields with high enantioselectivities. In addition, the products with higher ee values were obtained by a simple recrystallization process.

A novel three-component reaction catalyzed by dirhodium(II) acetate: decomposition of phenyldiazoacetate with arylamine and imine for highly diastereoselective synthesis of 1,2-diamines.

[reaction: see text] A practical highly diastereoselective synthesis of 1,2-diamines through carbon-carbon bond formation involving an ammonium ylide intermediate is reported for the first time. By treating methyl phenyldiazoacetate with arylamine and imine in the presence of dirhodium acetate, the erythro diastereomer of methyl 1,2-diaryl-1,2-diaminopropanoate is formed with stereochemical preferences greater than 10:1.

Unprecedented catalytic asymmetric reduction of N-H imines.

[Reaction: see text] Addition of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide to perfluorinated ketones 1a-j affords (E)-N-TMS-ketimines 2a-j that are reduced in situ to afford racemic perfluoromethylated amine hydrochloride salts 3a-j in 54-97% yields. Solvolysis of the N-Si bond in MeOH leads to formation of bench-stable, isolable N-H imine Z/E isomer mixtures along with a methanol adduct. Enantioselective reduction of these three-component mixtures provides the first catalytic asymmetric synthesis of trifluoromethylated amines in 72-95% yields and 75-98% ee.

An approach to the imine ring system of pinnatoxins.

[reaction: see text] A concise stereoselective approach to the spirobicyclic imine fragment of pinnatoxins and pteriatoxins is described. The approach relies on a tandem reaction sequence involving consecutive sigmatropic rearrangements to build the quaternary chiral center at the core of the spirobicyclic ring system.

Practical and highly enantioselective synthesis of beta-alkynyl-beta-amino esters through Ag-catalyzed asymmetric mannich reactions of silylketene acetals and alkynyl imines.

[reaction: see text] A readily available iso-leucine-based phosphine ligand is used to promote Ag-catalyzed Mannich reactions between silylketene acetals and various alkynyl imines. Reactions can be effected in the presence of 5 mol % catalyst, without the need for rigorous exclusion of air, and with commercially available solvents (without purification) to afford the desired beta-alkynyl-beta-amino esters in 84-94% ee and 61-91% isolated yield.

Studies toward a marine toxin immunogen: enantioselective synthesis of the spirocyclic imine of (-)-gymnodimine.

[reaction: see text] An enantioselective Diels-Alder reaction catalyzed by an Evans' copper-bis(oxazoline) complex was utilized to construct a highly functionalized spirolactam, a key intermediate in our projected total synthesis of the marine toxin, gymnodimine. Additional transformations, including a mild N-tosyl group deprotection, afforded a keto spirocyclic imine moiety, the proposed pharmacophore of gymnodimine. Thus, the prepared ketone is a potentially useful intermediate for conjugation to provide an immunogen for eventual monitoring of gymnodimine and congeners.

Allylation of aldehydes and imines: promoted by reuseable polymer-supported sulfonamide of N-glycine.

[reaction: see text] A allylation of aldehydes and imines (generated in situ from aldehydes and amines) with allyltributyltin promoted by recoverable and reusable the polymer-supported sulfonamide of N-glycine has been developed. Good to high yields were obtained in various cases. Most of the SnBu(3) residue can be recovered as Bu(3)SnCl. Highly stereoselective synthesis of N-Boc-(2S,3S)-3-hydroxy-2-phenylpiperidine 7 was achieved by using the P4a-mediated allylation of Boc-l-phenylglycinal as a key step.

Enediynes from aza-enediynes: C,N-dialkynyl imines undergo both aza-Bergman rearrangement and conversion to enediynes and fumaronitriles.

[reaction; see text] Aza-enediynes (C,N-dialkynyl imines) undergo thermal aza-Bergman rearrangement to beta-alkynyl acrylonitriles through 2,5-didehydropyridine (2,5-ddp) intermediates. Certain aza-enediynes also undergo an alternative process affording enediynes and fumaronitriles. Studies employing a specifically (l3)C-labeled aza-enediyne show that the conversion to enediyne is second order in aza-enediyne, proceeds by a "head-to-tail" coupling, and affords the (Z)-enediyne.

Highly diastereoselective asymmetric Mannich reactions of 1,3-dicarbonyls with acyl imines.

[reaction: see text] The cinchona alkaloids catalyze direct asymmetric Mannich reactions of cyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with acyl imines to afford alpha-quaternary carbon-bearing reaction products in yields of up to 98%, a diastereomeric excess of 90% or greater, and enantioselectivities up to 99% ee. A model is proposed that accounts for both the observed diastereoselectivities and the enantioselectivities for the reactions.

Cycloaddition reactions of imines with 3-thiosuccinic anhydrides: synthesis of the tricyclic core of martinellic acid.

Arylthio-substituted succinic anhydrides undergo cycloaddition reactions with imines to produce gamma-lactams in high yield and with high diastereoselectivity. The origin of the selectivity is proposed to result from anion-pi repulsion in the transition state. The utility of this technique is demonstrated in a synthesis of the carbon framework common to the alkaloids martinellic acid and martinelline in five steps.

Efficient pyrrole synthesis using double nucleophilic addition to alpha,beta-unsaturated imines with plural nucleophiles.

[reaction: see text] 2,3,5-Trisubstituted pyrroles were prepared in a regioselective manner using the double nucleophilic addition of alpha,alpha-dialkoxy ketene silyl acetals and ketene sily thioacetals or trimethylsilyl cyanide to alpha,beta-unsaturated imines followed by acid-promoted cyclization and oxidation with DDQ. Using this methodology an imidazole glycerol phosphate dehydratase inhibitor (IGPDI) possessing a monopyrrole aldehyde moiety was synthesized.

[formula: see text] A novel catalytic enantioselective Strecker synthesis of chiral alpha-amino nitriles and alpha-amino acids is described and analyzed with regard to the possible mechanistic basis for stereoselectivity. Key features of the enantioselective process include (1) the use of the chiral bicyclic guanidine 1 as catalyst and (2) the use of the N-benzhydryl substituent on the imine substrate.

On the role of Ca2+ in the toxicity of alkylating and oxidizing quinone imines in isolated hepatocytes.

The cytotoxicity of acetaminophen (paracetamol) has been shown to be associated with a disruption of intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis caused by the interaction of its metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI) with hepatocyte thiols [Moore, M., et al. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 13035-13040]. Inasmuch as NAPQI can both covalently bind to thiols and oxidize thiols, we investigated the effects of two dimethylated analogues of NAPQI, one of which (2,6-dimethyl-NAPQI) primarily binds to thiols and the other of which (3,5-dimethyl-NAPQI) primarily oxidizes thiols. Of the three compounds, 2,6-dimethyl-NAPQI decreased protein thiols to the greatest extent and also inhibited hepatocyte plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase to the greatest extent. The 3,5-dimethylated analogue decreased protein thiols to the least extent and inhibited the plasma membrane Ca(2+)-ATPase to a lesser extent. The cytotoxicity of all three compounds was preceded by a sustained elevation in cytosolic Ca2+ as compared to the transient rise caused by the alpha-agonist phenylephrine. Again, the 2,6-dimethyl analogue was the most potent of the three compounds. The thiol reagent dithiothreitol (DTT), which reversed the inhibition of the Ca(2+)-ATPase and the rise in cytosolic Ca2+, also protected against cytotoxicity. Agents that are known to inhibit either Ca(2+)-dependent proteases or phospholipases significantly delayed the onset of cytotoxicity caused by NAPQI and its analogues. Our results suggest that both arylation and oxidation of protein thiols may result in the elevation of cytosolic Ca2+ and in cytotoxicity and that arylation of critical thiol groups appears to be the more lethal reaction.
