Synthetic scheme

These are in fact standard discoimections which you will meet in sections G and C of the programme. The first part of the programme (Sections B to H) shows you how to use disconnections and which disconnections are good ones. The second part shows you how to choose between alternative series of disconnections to get good synthetic schemes. 

Conventional synthetic schemes to produce 1,6-disubstituted products, e.g. reaction of a - with d -synthons, are largely unsuccessful. An exception is the following reaction, which provides a useful alternative when Michael type additions fail, e. g., at angular or other tertiary carbon atoms. In such cases the addition of allylsilanes catalyzed by titanium tetrachloride, the Sakurai reaction, is most appropriate (A. Hosomi, 1977). Isomerization of the double bond with bis(benzonitrile-N)dichloropalladium gives the y-double bond in excellent yield. Subsequent ozonolysis provides a pathway to 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds. Thus 1,6-, 1,5- and 1,4-difunctional compounds are accessible by this reaction. 

The synthetic scheme typically involves chain-extending addition of protected mononucleotides to a nucleoside bound covalentiy at the 3 -hydroxyl to an inert siUca-based soHd support, such as controlled pore glass (Fig. 11). The initial base-protected 5 -O-dimethoxytrityl (DMT) deoxynucleoside is linked to the soHd support via the reaction of a siUca-bound amino-silane and the -nitrophenylester of the 3 -succinylated nucleoside, yielding a 3 -terminal nucleoside attached to the soHd support (1) (Fig. 11). Chain elongation requites the removal of the 5 -DMT protecting group. 

Because the starting materials were optically active, the products were all pure enantiomers. Later, the synthetic scheme shown in Figure 5 was developed (22,45). Resolution of the racemic mixture was accompHshed at the penultimate stage and the optically active D-threo-amine (7) was converted to florfenicol (2). This synthetic process also resulted in the synthesis of thiamphenicol shown in Figure 6 using 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropyl diethylamine (FPA) (46). More recently an improved method of synthesis of florfenicol has been developed (17). 

Thiophene [110-02-1] and a number of its derivatives are significant in fine chemical industries as intermediates to many products for pharmaceutical, agrochemical, dyestuffs, and electronic appHcations. This article concentrates on the industrial, commercial, and economic aspects of the production and apphcations of thiophene and thiophene derivatives and details the main synthetic schemes to the parent ring system and simple alkyl and aryl derivatives. Functionalization of the ring and the synthesis of some functional derivatives that result, not from the parent ring system, but by direct ring cyclization reactions are also considered. Many good reviews on the chemistry of thiophene and thiophene derivatives are available (1 7). 

Derivatives of carbonyl compounds that have been used as protective groups in synthetic schemes are described in this chapter some of the more important protective groups are listed in Reactivity Chart 5. ... 

Moreover, the authors have managed to apply this synthetic Scheme to the labile and otherwise difficult-to-obtain butadiynylpyrazole, which can be prepared from 4-acetoacetyl-l,3,5-trimethylpyrazole in 36% yield (Scheme 31). 

General synthetic routes to spiroketals 189 from lactones and lithiomethoxy-butenyne 184 have been described (83TL5303 88JOC652 89JOC1157 90JOC5894). Three synthetic schemes have been realized. 

The third synthetic scheme is employed when the phenylthio substituent is in the a-position of the lactone function, which interferes with the cyclization (90JOC5894). Acetylenic ketone 194 (95% yield) is readily transformed to the acetal 195 (with potassium carbonate in methanol) however, under the above conditions neither its hydrolysis nor cyclization to the spiroketal occurs. The spirocyclic pyrone 197 is formed in quantitative yield on treatment of 195 with p-toluenesulfonic acid in a 4 1 THF-H2O mixture at reflux for 12 h. 

The general synthetic scheme starting from nitrile oxides, which condense with acetylenes to yield isoxazoles and with olefins to yield A -isoxazoIines may be represented by Eqs. (1) and (2). The forma-...

The total synthesis of taxol (52) has been described in Chapter 34. Clearly, total synthesis cannot hope to meet the demand for taxol at the present time, and supplies are currently procured by semisynthesis. This approach uses baccatin III (derived from yew tree needles) and the C-13 side chain 51, made synthetically (Scheme 13). A practical synthesis of the side chain is necessary,... 

The addition of sulfenic acids to olefins207 has been successfully applied in the synthesis of thietanoprostanoids, the thietane analogues of prostaglandin245. The general synthetic scheme is presented in equation 83207. The key step is the thermolysis of either erythro- or (7ireo-2-f-butylsulphinyl-3-vinyl-l-ol (209) to give the corresponding alkenesulfenic acids 210, which cyclize spontaneously to a mixture of stereoisomeric thietane oxides. 

The discussion is organized in the following order First the advantages of HRC scheme, relative to the industrial (i.e., heterogenous) process are briefly commented on second, the relevance of celMose activation and the physical state of its solution to optimization of esterification are discussed. Finally, the use of recently introduced solvent systems and synthetic schemes, designed in order to obtain new, potentially useful cellulose esters with controlled, reproducible properties is reviewed. A comment on the conformity of these methods with the concepts of green chemistry is also included. 

This area has witnessed an explosive growth as a result of the introduction of novel synthetic schemes, designed to prepare a variety of products, or intermediates from which further products may be obtained. The reason is that... 

A new approach to indoloquinohne alkaloids from Cryptolepis sanguino-lenta has been reported based on the cyclization of an o-substituted vinyl isocyanate 244 imder microwave irradiation and further additional cyclization based on an Aza-Wittig reaction carried out in the presence of microwaves [159]. The apphcation of this synthetic scheme to the synthesis of Cryptotackienine 247 is reported in Scheme 91. 

For some of the reactions described in this book, rather precise and detailed ideas about the reaction mechanism exist. However, for many catalytic reactions, the mechanistic understanding is very poor and further experimental studies are certainly needed. Calculations proved to be a highly valuable tool to gain a more precise picture of the reaction pathways. However, mostly only model systems can be studied due to the complexity of the problem. Anyway, it is the firm believe of the authors that for any reaction with an activation barrier a suitable catalyst can be found. This book shall give an insight into what has been achieved in this area concerning the synthesis of heterofunctionalized organic molecules. It is the hope of all contributors that future retro-synthetic schemes will include the catalytic approaches outlined in this book. 

In general, the methods for protection and deprotection of carboxylic acids and esters are not as convenient as for alcohols, aldehydes, and ketones. It is therefore common to carry potential carboxylic acids through synthetic schemes in the form of protected primary alcohols or aldehydes. The carboxylic acid can then be formed at a late stage in the synthesis by an appropriate oxidation. This strategy allows one to utilize the wider variety of alcohol and aldehyde protective groups indirectly for carboxylic acid protection. 

Fragmentation of cyclopropylcarbinyl radicals has been incorporated into several synthetic schemes.357 For example, 2-dienyl-l,l-(dimethoxycarbonyl)-cyclopropanes undergo ring expansion to cyclopentenes. 

Thallium(III), particularly as the trifluoroacetate salt, is also a reactive electrophilic metallating species, and a variety of synthetic schemes based on arylthallium intermediates have been devised.75 Arylthallium compounds are converted to chlorides or bromides by reaction with the appropriate cupric halide.76 Reaction with potassium iodide gives aryl iodides.77 Fluorides are prepared by successive treatment with potassium fluoride and boron trifluoride.78 Procedures for converting arylthallium compounds to nitriles and phenols have also been described.79... 

There are 11 steps in the build-up of the A-B-C ring portion of strigol according to Sih s synthetic scheme. These are shown in Figure 1. By repeating these steps in our laboratory both on a small scale and on the same scale used by Sih, we found that we could not...
