Acetoxy acyl chloride

Farina et al. used the chiral imine 7.1.3 to effect diastereoselective condensation with acetoxy acyl chloride to give preferentially the desired lactam in 74% yield and 84% diastereomeric excess. Subsequent deprotection of the silyl ether followed by mesylation and elimination afforded the olefin 7.1.4 which was ozonized. The resulting keto ester was easily hydrolyzed to give the unprotected lactam 7.1.5 in five steps (259). 

Treatment with one equivalent of an acyl chloride agent is no good because the primary hydroxyl group is more reactive instead, the chemists acetylated both hydroxyl groups, and then treated the bis-acetate with mildly basic methanol (K2CO3, MeOH, 20°C), which reacted only at the less hindered acetoxy group and gave the desired compound in 65% yield. 

The enantiopure 1-oxa-1,3-diene 278 is prepared by acylation of benzyl vinyl ether with oxalyl chloride. This generates acyl chloride 276, which acylates the lithium salt of 2-oxazolidinone 277. In the presence of Me2AlCl, diene 278 adds to (Z)-l-acetoxy-2-ethoxyethene giving mostly adduct 279, whereas, when using Me3SiOTf as promoter of the hetero Diels-Alder addition, diastereomer 280 is the major adduct (Scheme 13.79). Adducts 279 and 280 have been converted into ethyl P-d-mannopyranoside and ethyl-P-L-mannopyranoside, respectively [149]. 

Cydopentane reagents used in synthesis are usually derived from cyclopentanone (R.A. Ellison, 1973). Classically they are made by base-catalyzed intramolecular aldol or ester condensations (see also p. 55). An important example is 2-methylcydopentane-l,3-dione. It is synthesized by intramolecular acylation of diethyl propionylsucdnate dianion followed by saponification and decarboxylation. This cyclization only worked with potassium t-butoxide in boiling xylene (R. Bucourt, 1965). Faster routes to this diketone start with succinic acid or its anhydride. A Friedel-Crafts acylation with 2-acetoxy-2-butene in nitrobenzene or with pro-pionyl chloride in nitromethane leads to acylated adducts, which are deacylated in aqueous acids (V.J. Grenda, 1967 L.E. Schick, 1969). A new promising route to substituted cyclopent-2-enones makes use of intermediate 5-nitro-l,3-diones (D. Seebach, 1977). 

Aminosodium salt and acylated with 1 H-tetrazole-1 -acetyl chloride. The acetoxy group is then displaced by reaction with 5-methyl-1,3-4-thi-adiazole-2-thiol in buffer solution. The product acid is converted to the sodium salt by NaHCOa. 

Reaction of the silyl derivative of quinoline with 2-acetoxyethyl acetoxy-methyl ether in dichloroethane with stannic chloride gave a cyclonucleoside. Removal of both the acetyl and ethyl ester groups in NaOH afforded the fully deprotected nucleoside 788. Acylation of 788 could be carried out with different esters in the presence of amino Ps lipase [91SC1477 92JCR(S)216]. The 4-quinolones showed no significant antiviral activity (91SC1477).
