THP function

The THP ether product is stable to base. The THP function (see below) has been used for the synthesis of 2 -protected ribonucleosides. As was noted (see above) the 2 -protected hydroxyl is vital for the synthesis of the 3, 5 -phosphodiester linkage. However, a complicating factor can be the presence of an asymmetric center in the THP protected product. 

Class 2 RCM reactions, involving the use of homoallyhc acrylate esters to form unsaturated lactones, have also found synthetic utility in the context of THP-containing natural products. These acrylate substrates are rapidly accessed from the straightforward esterification of a homoaUylic alcohol. While the second class does not formally yield a THP, the lactone affords the appropriate handles for a reductive acetylation/alkylation protocol, which is a powerful method for THP functionalization (Sect. 6.2). 

The oxidation of higher alkenes in organic solvents proceeds under almost neutral conditions, and hence many functional groups such as ester or lac-tone[26,56-59], sulfonate[60], aldehyde[61-63], acetal[60], MOM ether[64], car-bobenzoxy[65], /-allylic alcohol[66], bromide[67,68], tertiary amine[69], and phenylselenide[70] can be tolerated. Partial hydrolysis of THP ether[71] and silyl ethers under certain conditions was reported. Alcohols are oxidized with Pd(II)[72-74] but the oxidation is slower than the oxidation of terminal alkenes and gives no problem when alcohols are used as solvents[75,76].

Dienols with 2 equiv. of 1 gave the corresponding bimetallic alkoxide organozir-conocene complexes however, protolysis allowed recovery of the alcohol functionality (Scheme 8-29) [107]. Alcohols can also be easily converted to ethers. Alkyl, aryl, silyl [85,112,183, 210] and THP [17, 153, 211, 219] ethers are stable under hydrozirconation conditions side products were observed only with the trimethylsUyl group [220, 221].

Both THP and THPP are stable in aqueous solution, as the only potential product of hydrolysis is the reformation of the hydroxymethyl groups. It is unusual for an amine-reactive functional group to have long-term stability in water or buffer, which makes these reagents uniquely suitable for creating reactive surfaces or reactive molecules for subsequent...

Thus, the model predicts that thermal fluctuations in the tilt and curvature change the way that the tubule radius scales with chiral elastic constant— instead of r oc (THp) 1, the scaling has an anomalous, temperature-dependent exponent. This anomalous exponent might be detectable in the scaling of tubule radius as a function of enantiomeric excess in a mixture of enantiomers or as a function of chiral fraction in a chiral-achiral mixture.

Acetals and ketals are very important protecting groups in solution-phase synthesis, but only a few constructs have been used as linkers in solid-phase synthesis (Tab. 3.3). The THP-linker (22) (tetrahydropyran) was introduced by Ellman [54] in order to provide a linker allowing the protection of alcohols, phenols and nitrogen functionalities in the presence of pyridinium toluene sulfonate, and the resulting structures are stable towards strong bases and nucleophiles. Other acetal-linkers have also been used for the attachment of alcohols [55, 56]. Formation of diastereomers caused by the chirality of these linkers is certainly a drawback. Other ketal tinkers tike... 

In 2007, another departure from carbonyl-type activation was marked by Kotke and Schreiner in the organocatalytic tetrahydropyran and 2-methoxypropene protection of alcohols, phenols, and other ROH substrates [118, 145], These derivatives offered a further synthetically useful acid-free contribution to protective group chemistry [146]. The 9-catalyzed tetrahydropyranylation with 3,4-dihydro-2H-pyran (DHP) as reactant and solvent was described to be applicable to a broad spectrum of hydroxy functionalities and furnished the corresponding tetrahydro-pyranyl-substituted ethers, that is, mixed acetals, at mild conditions and with good to excellent yields. Primary and secondary alcohols can be THP-protected to afford 1-8 at room temperature and at loadings ranging from 0.001 to 1.0mol% thiourea... 

In this study, two Deloxan Metal Scavengers were investigated. The first, THP II, is a thiourea functionalized polysiloxane while the second, MP, is mercapto functionalized. Both resins have been tested in solutions containing 20 - 100 ppm Pd(II), Pd(0) or Ru(II). In addition to different metals and oxidation states, the effects of solvent (polar vs. nonpolar), temperature (25 - 80 °C) and mode (fixed bed vs. batch) were explored. These resins were found to reduce precious metal concentrations in process solutions to levels at or below the target concentration of 5 ppm, even at room temperature in the case of Pd(II) and Pd(0). The results of this study will be discussed. 

Several methods of metal removal from process solutions exist. Some of these approaches include crystallization, distillation and extraction. However, these methods can be very time-consuming and often result in loss of some valuable product. To overcome these shortcomings, Degussa has developed Deloxan Metal Scavengers as an attractive option to solve problems associated with transition metal contamination of process solutions. [3, 4, 5] Two resins are commercially available. Deloxan THP 11 (1) is a thiourea functionalized, macroporous, organofunctional polysiloxane while Deloxan MP (2) is mercapto functionalized.
