Procedure for synthesis

Substitution of a dipeptide unit by a cychc dipeptide derivative within a peptide chain can induce certain conformational restraints that may alter the biological response via changing receptor selectivity. A facile procedure for synthesis of pyrazinone ring-containing opioid mimetics [21] has been elaborated, based on the cycHzation of readily available dipep-tidyl chloromethyl ketones [22] (Scheme 6). This method affords 2(IH)-pyrazinone derivatives containing substituents with desired functional groups at positions 3 and 6 in high yield. 

Pyruvic acid is the simplest homologue of the a-keto acid, whose established procedures for synthesis are the dehydrative decarboxylation of tartaric acid and the hydrolysis of acetyl cyanide. On the other hand, vapor-phase contact oxidation of alkyl lactates to corresponding alkyl pyruvates using V2C - and MoOa-baseds mixed oxide catalysts has also been known [1-4]. Recently we found that pyruvic acid is obtained directly from a vapor-phase oxidative-dehydrogenation of lactic acid over iron phosphate catalysts with a P/Fe atomic ratio of 1.2 at a temperature around 230°C [5]. 

Amides are weakly nucleophilic and react only slowly with alkyl halides. The anions of amides are substantially more reactive. The classical Gabriel procedure for synthesis of amines from phthalimide is illustrative.58... 

There are several procedures for synthesis of terminal alkenyl stannanes that involve addition to aldehydes. A well-established three-step sequence culminates in a radical addition to a terminal alkyne.150... 

A mixture of sodamide, bromoanisole, and l-methoxy-2-methyl-l-(trimethylsilyl-oxy)-l-butene were reacted at room temperature at a 50 millimolar scale. After some two horns, with slight emission of ammonia, the reaction suddenly became exothermic, with violent gas emission and on one occasion a fire. This was a modest scale-up of a literature procedure for synthesis of 2-alky lbenzoic acids, via a benzyne intermediate. It is advised that this reaction be employed only on smaller scale, with safety precautions. The reaction must pass through a benzocyclobutane intermediate, this, or another, high energy species might accumulate and then decompose. 

The Editorial Board lists the following criteria of content for submitted manuscripts Style should conform with that of previous volumes of Inorganic Syntheses. The Introduction should include a concise and critical summary of the available procedures for synthesis of the product in question. It should also include an estimate of the time required for the synthesis, an indication of the importance and utility of the product, and...

Procedures for synthesis of chiral amines163 164 and halides165 166 167 based on chiral alkylbor-anes have been developed by applying the methods discussed earlier to the homochiral organoborane intermediates. For example, enantiomerically pure terpenes can be converted to trialkylboranes and then aminated with hydroxylaminesulfonic acid. 

Procedures for synthesis of ketones based on coupling of organostannanes with acyl chlorides have also been developed.152 153 The catalytic cycle is similar to that involved in the coupling with alkyl or aryl halides. The scope of compounds to which the procedure can be applied is wide and includes successful results with tetra-n-buty lstannanc. This example implies that the reductive elimination step in the mechanism can compete successfully with -elimination. 

Addition of a soluble Zr(IV) salt to phosphoric acid results in the precipitation of a gelatinous amorphous solid. The stoichiometric crystalline zirconium phosphate can be prepared by refluxing zirconium phosphate-gel in concentrated phosphoric acid [5]. The procedures for synthesis of zirconium phosphate have been described in detail elsewhere [6].

The reaction is diastereoselective and in all cases only exo isomer of 83 is separated. However, target azirenoimidazoles 83 containing different substituents in positions 2 and 8 cannot be obtained by this method. Other multi-component and one-pot synthesis procedures for synthesis of similar polycyclic structures are also described [98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104].

A novel method for synthesizing polythiaether macrocycles with Re cluster complex was proposed by Adams and coworkers [185]. This process involves catalysis by the Re complex rather than the stoichiometric displacement of dithiol or dithiolates by organic halides, and first example of a catalytic procedure for synthesis of polythiaether macrocycle using thietanes. The macro-cyclic products formed are shown in Fig. 56. 

Welz et al. developed a procedure for synthesis of oligoribonucleotides based on application of tetrazole for activation of RNA phosphoramidites in automated solid-phase synthesis <2000MB934>. Ar-Benzoyl tetrazole has been developed as a mild and selective reagent for monobenzoylation of the exocyclic amino group in nucleic acid bases <1997TL8811>. An improved procedure is described for the efficient and high yield (76-91%) synthesis of... 

The complexity of designing such catalysts arises because the C-H transformation function wanted is not the property of a bulk solid or a well-defined surface but of defects in phases. Such catalysts resemble their biological counterparts, the enzymes that consist also of a complex matrix holding the active site in place and in suitable electronic isolation. The ability to mimic this principle in heterogeneous catalysis with the concept of single site catalysts [45-47] has led to first academic success but is still far away from practical realization, because of the lack of suitable procedures for synthesis of bulk quantities of highly active material.
