Ozonolysis-hydrogenation reaction

FIGURE 3.6 Aromatic polyols produced from the ozonolysis-hydrogenation reaction. (A-D) refer to an aromatic asymmetric triol an aromatic symmetric triol, an aromatic triol, and an aromatic hexa-ol, respectively. (Lligadas et al., 2007 Song and Narine, 2008 Yue and Narine, 2008). 

Analogues 249 (X = H, OH) of UDP-GlcNAc have been prepared as potential inhibitors of chitin synthetases. The synthetic route involved a C-allyl derivative of GlcNAc, which was elaborated by ozonolysis, Wittig reaction and coupling with the nucleoside, followed by hydrogenation or hydroxylation as appropriate. The corresponding amides were also prepared from 5 -amino-5 -deoxyuridine. Lipophilic amino acid methyl esters and methylamides have been coupled to 0-5 of AZT by carbamate links. The products showed anti-HIV activity, but this was not due to carbamate hydrolysis or to direct inhibition of reverse transcriptase, and the mechanism of action may be one not previously observed with nucleoside antivirals. ... 

Grignard was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 for his extensive work with organomagnesium compounds. He returned to the University of Lyons in 1919, where he succeeded Barbier as head of the department and continued his research. Grignard also conducted an extensive research program in the fields of terpenoid natural products, ozonolysis, aldol reactions, and catalytic hydrogenation and dehydrogenation. However, it is for his... 

The most recent, and probably most elegant, process for the asymmetric synthesis of (+)-estrone appHes a tandem Claisen rearrangement and intramolecular ene-reaction (Eig. 23). StereochemicaHy pure (185) is synthesized from (2R)-l,2-0-isopropyhdene-3-butanone in an overall yield of 86% in four chemical steps. Heating a toluene solution of (185), enol ether (187), and 2,6-dimethylphenol to 180°C in a sealed tube for 60 h produces (190) in 76% yield after purification. Ozonolysis of (190) followed by base-catalyzed epimerization of the C8a-hydrogen to a C8P-hydrogen (again similar to conversion of (175) to (176)) produces (184) in 46% yield from (190). Aldehyde (184) was converted to 9,11-dehydroestrone methyl ether (177) as discussed above. The overall yield of 9,11-dehydroestrone methyl ether (177) was 17% in five steps from 6-methoxy-l-tetralone (186) and (185) (201).

Until the second half of the twentieth century, the structure of a substance—a newly discovered natural product, for example—was determined using information obtained from chemical reactions. This information included the identification of functional groups by chemical tests, along with the results of experiments in which the substance was broken down into smaller, more readily identifiable fragments. Typical of this approach is the demonstration of the presence of a double bond in an alkene by catalytic hydrogenation and subsequent determination of its location by ozonolysis. After-considering all the available chemical evidence, the chemist proposed a candidate structure (or structures) consistent with the observations. Proof of structure was provided either by converting the substance to some already known compound or by an independent synthesis. 

Compound A, C/H, was found to be optically active. On catalytic reductior over a palladium catalyst, 2 equivalents of hydrogen were absorbed, yielding compound B, CyH. On ozonolysis of A, two fragments were obtained. One fragment was identified as acetic acid. The other fragment, compound C, wa an optically active carboxylic acid, C5Hl002- Write the reactions, and drav structures for A. B and C. 

Compound A, C H O, was found to be an optically active alcohol. Despite its apparent unsaturation, no hydrogen was absorbed on catalytic reduction over a palladium catalyst. On treatment of A with dilute sulfuric acid, dehydration occurred and an optically inactive alkene B, Q iH14, was produced as the major product. Alkene B, on ozonolysis, gave two products. One product was identified as propanal, CH3CH2CHO. Compound C, the other product, was shown to be a ketone, CgHgO. How many degrees of unsaturation does A have Write the reactions, and identify A, B, and C. 

Alkenes with at least one vinjdic hydrogen undergo oxidative cleavage when treated with ozone, yielding aldehydes (Section 7.9). If the ozonolysis reaction is carried out on a cyclic alkene, a dicarbonyl compound results. 

Chemical/Physical. Ozonolysis products reported are p-quinone and dibasic acids (Verschueren, 1983). Moussavi (1979) studied the autoxidation of hydroquinone in slightly alkaline (pH 7 to 9) aqueous solutions at room temperature. The oxidation of hydroquinone by oxygen followed first-order kinetics that yielded hydrogen peroxide and / -quinone as products. At pH values of 7.0, 8.0, and 9.0, the calculated half-lives of this reaction were 111, 41, and 0.84 h, respectively (Moussavi, 1979). 

The submitters report that ozonolysis of the product at — 10° in a mixture of ethyl acetate and acetic acid, followed by reaction with hydrogen peroxide, formed 3,4-seco-5-methyl-< oprostan-3,4-dioic acid as crystals from ethyl acetate, m.p. 168-172° with prior softening at 130°. 

As with many polymers, polyisoprene exhibits non-Newtonian flow behavior at shear rates normally used for processing. The double bond can undergo most of the typical reactions such as carbene additions, hydrogenation, epoxidation, ozonolysis, hydrohalogena-tion, and halogenation. As with the case of the other 1,4-diene monomers, many copolymers are derived from polyisoprene or isoprene itself.
