Applications to Synthesis

Hazardous chemicals or mixtures may be replaceable by safer materials. These may be less toxic per se, or less easily dispersed (e.g. less volatile or dusty). Substitution is also applicable to synthesis routes to avoid the use of toxic reactants/solvents or the production, either intentionally or accidentally, of toxic intermediates, by-products or wastes.

The purpose of this review is to cover catalytic enantioselective desymmetriza-tions that have appeared in the literamre from early 1999 to mid-2004. Stoichiometric desymmetrizations will not be considered. Enzymatic desymmetrizations will also not be considered, largely because this method is firmly engrained as a powerful technique and the bulk of the work in this area in recent years has centered on applications of the method to specific substrates rather than developmental advances. This review will also attempt to focus on method development rather than application to synthesis. This field has recently been reviewed, and the purpose of this manuscript is to complement the previous treatises of this subject. 

It is a major challenge to keep our coverage of this immense field up to date. One strategy is to publish Supplements or new Parts when merited by the amount of new material, as has been done, inter alia, with pyridines, purines, pyrimidines, quinazolines, isoxazoles, pyridazines and pyrazines. The chemistry and applications to synthesis of 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reactions in the broad context of organic chemistry were first covered in a widely cited two-volume treatise edited by Prof. Albert Padwa that appeared in 1984. Since so much has been published on this fascinating and broadly useful subject in the intervening years, we felt that a Supplement would be welcomed by the international chemistry community, and we... 

Cyciopentanones. I hc cyclization of 4-pentenals to cyclopentanones catalyzed by Wilkinson s catalyst (4, 560) has been improved considerably by modification of the phosphine ligands.1 Catalysts containing tri-p-tolylphosphine. tri-p-anisylphos-phine, and lris(p-dimethylaminopheny )phosphine are particularly useful. Simple cyclopentanones can he prepared in high yields. The reaction also provides a route to spirocyclic and bicyclic ketones (equations I and II). Unfortunately this method is not applicable to synthesis of larger rings. 

Review Inter- and intramolecular dehydration with the reagent has been reviewed with particular emphasis on applications to synthesis and transformations of natural products (100 references).

Other methods for the preparation of gem-diaminoalkyl residues have been reported. Some of them are directly applicable to synthesis of PMRI-peptides and some are only remotely related. Katritzky et al.1901 synthesized racemic, monoprotected diaminoalkyl derivatives by the Mannich reaction (Scheme 5). The diastereomeric mixtures of A-peptidyl gem-diaminoalkyl compounds were resolved to afford the diastereomerically pure retro-inverso surrogates. 

The BINAP-Ru catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of difunctionalized ketones is applicable to synthesis of several biologically active compounds [lc, 193,195,196]. In Figure 1.12, the stereocenter determined by the BINAP chemistry is labeled by R or S. 

Bromination-desilylbromination of fS-silyl ketones. The preliminary work on protection of oc,/ -enones by this sequence (8, 196-197) has been perfected in several respects1 and shown to be generally applicable to synthesis of oy8-enones.2 Either bromine or phenyltrimethylammonium tribromide (PTAB, 1,855 2,328 4, 386) can be used. In either case, bromine is introduced mainly at the a-position adjacent to the /1-silyl group. Surprisingly, the undesired a -bromo-/(-silyl ketone is converted to the a-bromo-/)-silyl ketone on exposure to hydrogen bromide at 20°. No other acids can clTccl this conversion. Desilylbromination is generally effected with DBU or F". The sequence is applicable to synthesis of a-methylene ketones (equation I) and lactones. 

Benzoxazoles.1 Benzoxazoles (2) are obtained in generally good yield by Beckmann rearrangement of the oxime of 2 -hydroxyacetophenones (1) using POCl3-DMA in CH3CN at 30° (equation I). The method is applicable to synthesis of hydroxy-substituted benzoxazoles, which are usually difficult to prepare.

However, the method is no longer satisfactorily applicable to synthesis of higher polysilane derivatives because extensive cleavage of the silicon-silicon bond occurs and a mixture of isomeric halopolysilane derivatives that are inseparable by distillation is formed. For example, the reaction of decamethyltetrasilane with sulfuric acid and treatment with ammonium hydrogen fluoride leads to the formation of several fluoro derivatives of...

Brushite is not stable much above room temperature. It dehydrates to form the anhydrous salt (monetite), but not in a manner applicable to synthesis. However, if calcium hydrogen-orthophosphate is precipitated at 100° at a pH of 4 to 5, monetite is formed.

The high mechanical stability of nitrides suggest their application to synthesis in commercial-type reactors wherever the product distribution of the nitrided catalysts is acceptable. In general the products from nitrided catalysts appear more suitable for production of chemicals than of synthetic fuel however, the selectivity may possibly be considerably different in pilot-plant or large-scale reactors, although these differences are not expected.

Oraganosilicon compounds react with a wide variety of organic electrophiles in the presence of a palladium catalyst and a Lewis base activator such as a fluoride or hydroxy ion to give the corresponding coupled products. The reaction is applicable to synthesis of diynes, enynes, arylacetylenes, alkenylarenes, biaryls, allylarenes and alkylarenes in addition to 1,3-, 1,4- and 1,5-dienes with tolerance for various functional groups. 

Heterocycles. This thallation-olefination sequence is widely applicable to synthesis of oxygen and nitrogen heterocycles. Thus it is applicable to tolylacctic acids, benzamides, and acetanilides.
