- Synthesis of highly fluorinated fatty acid esters of glycerol:glycerol tripalmitate-F39
-
Glycerol tripalmitate-F39 has been prepared from glycerol and the acid chloride of RF-palmitic acid-F13 via a solid phase aluminum oxide catalyzed reaction. The product has been characterized by electrospray mass spectrometry and 1H, 19F and 13C NMR methods. A second, less efficient synthesis is reported in which a chain elongation strategy is employed after reaction of glycerol with the acid chloride of 9-decenoic acid.

- Synthesis of site-specifically13C labeled linoleic acids
-
Soybean lipoxygenase-1 (SLO-1) catalyzes the C–H abstraction from the reactive carbon (C-11) in linoleic acid as the first and rate-determining step in the formation of alkylhydroperoxides. While previous labeling strategies have focused on deuterium labeling to ascertain the primary and secondary kinetic isotope effects for this reaction, there is an emerging interest and need for selectively enriched13C isotopologues. In this Letter, we present synthetic strategies for site-specific13C labeled linoleic acid substrates. We take advantage of a Corey–Fuchs formyl to terminal13C-labeled alkyne conversion, using13CBr4as the labeling source, to reduce the number of steps from a previous fatty acid13C synthetic labeling approach. The labeled linoleic acid substrates are useful as nuclear tunneling markers and for extracting active site geometries of the enzyme–substrate complex in lipoxygenase.

- Direct Synthesis of Free α-Amino Acids by Telescoping Three-Step Process from 1,2-Diols
-
A practical telescoping three-step process for the syntheses of α-amino acids from the corresponding 1,2-diols has been developed. This process enables the direct synthesis of free α-amino acids without any protection/deprotection step. This method was also effective for the preparation of a 15N-labeled α-amino acid. 1,2-Diols bearing α,β-unsaturated ester moieties afforded bicyclic α-amino acids through intramolecular [3 + 2] cycloadditions. A preliminary study suggests that the resultant α-amino acids are resolvable by aminoacylases with almost complete selectivity.

-
Herein, we report the nor-AZADO-catalyzed exhaustive aerobic oxidations of 1,2-diols to α-keto acids. Combining oxidation with transamination using dl-2-phenylglycine led to the synthesis of free α-amino acids (AAs) in one pot. This method enables the rapid and flexible preparation of a variety of valuable unnatural AAs, such as fluorescent AAs, photoactivatable AAs, and other functional AAs for bioorthogonal reactions.

- Enzymatic Oxidative Tandem Decarboxylation of Dioic Acids to Terminal Dienes
-
The biocatalytic oxidative tandem decarboxylation of C7–C18dicarboxylic acids to terminal C5–C16dienes was catalyzed by the P450 monooxygenase OleT with conversions up to 29 % for 1,11-dodecadiene (0.49 g L–1). The sequential nature of the cascade was proven by the fact that decarboxylation of intermediate C6–C11ω-alkenoic acids and heptanedioic acid exclusively gave nonconjugated 1,4-pentadiene; scale-up allowed the isolation of 1,15-hexadecadiene and 1,11-dodecadiene; the system represents a short and green route to terminal dienes from renewable dicarboxylic acids.

-
Protecting group dependant ring-closing metathesis based approach to the total synthesis of the revised structures of ciliatamides A and B has been described. The current synthetic strategy utilizes the amino acid as starting material to introduce both the stereogenic centers. However, usage of non-racemizing reagents (EDC·HCl, HATU/NMM); for amide coupling and Grubbs' second generation catalyst for caprolactam ring synthesis makes the present approach more convenient to get the correct conclusion on absolute stereochemistry. Thus, on the basis of similar optical rotation values with the Lindsley's reported data, this synthesis further supported for the actual stereochemistry of both ciliatamides A and B is (R,R).

- Selective oxoammonium salt oxidations of alcohols to aldehydes and aldehydes to carboxylic acids
-
The oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes using stoichiometric 4-acetamido-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxoammonium tetrafluoroborate (1) in CH2Cl2 at room temperature is a highly selective process favoring reaction at the carbinol center best able to accommodate a positive charge. The oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids by 1 in wet acetonitrile is also selective; the rate of the process correlates with the concentration of aldehyde hydrate. A convenient and high yield method for oxidation of alcohols directly to carboxylic acids has been developed.

- Enzyme-substrate complementarity governs access to a cationic reaction manifold in the P450BM3-catalysed oxidation of cyclopropyl fatty acids
-
The products of cytochrome P450BM3-catalysed oxidation of cyclopropyl-containing dodecanoic acids are consistent with the presence of a cationic reaction intermediate, which results in efficient dehydrogenation of the rearranged probes by the enzyme. These results highlight the importance of enzyme-substrate complementarity, with a cationic intermediate occurring only when the probes used begin to diverge from ideal substrates for this enzyme. This also aids in reconciling literature reports supporting the presence of cationic intermediates with certain cytochrome P450 enzyme/substrate pairs.

- 2-iodoxybenzenesulfonic acid as an extremely active catalyst for the selective oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, and enones with oxone
-
Electron-donating group-substituted 2-iodoxybenzoic acids (IBXs) such as5-Me-IBX (1g), 5-MeO-IBX (1h), and 4,5-Me2-IBX were superior to IBX 1a as catalysts for the oxidation of alcohols with Oxone (a trad emark of DuPont) under nonaqueous conditions, although Oxone was almost insoluble in most organic solvents. The catalytic oxidation proceeded more rapidly and cleanly in nitromethane. Furthermore, 2-iodoxybenzenesulfonic acid (IBS, 6a) was much more active than modified IBXs. Thus, we established a highly efficient and selective method for the oxidation of primary and secondary alcohols to carbonyl compounds such as aldehydes, carboxylic acids, and ketones with Oxone in nonaqueous nitromethane, acetonitrile, or ethyl acetate in the presence of 0.05-5molpercentof 6a, which was generated in situ from 2-iodobenzenesulfonic acid (7a) or its sodium salt. Cycloalkanones could be further oxidized to α,β- cycloalkenones or lactones by controlling the amounts of Oxone under the same conditions as above. When Oxone was used under nonaqueous conditions, Oxone wastes could be removed by simple filtration. Based on theoretical calculations, we considered that the relatively ionic character of the intramolecular hypervalent iodine-OSO2 bond of IBS might lower the twisting barrier of the alkoxyperiodinane intermediate 16.

-
The four major components present in scent gland extracts of the male Costa Rica longwing butterflies Heliconius cydno and Heliconius pachinus were identified as 12- and 14-membered macrolides containing a C18-carbon skeleton. By use of micro-reactions and spectrometric examinations, structural proposals were made and subsequently proven by synthesis, using ring-closing-metathesis as the key steps. These macrolides, (9Z,11E,13S)- octadeca-9,11-dien-13-olide (5, S-coriolide), (9Z,11E,13S,15Z)-octadeca-9,11,15- trien-13-olide (6), (9Z,13S)-octadec-9-en-13-olide (13), and (9Z,11S)-octadec-9-en-11-olide (25), are biosynthetically obviously derived from oleic, linoleic, and linolenic acids. Their absolute configurations were determined by gas chromatographic investigations on chiral phases, showing all to possess (S)-configuration. The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Several standard and some novel cyclization reactions have been applied to 9-substituted decanoic acids to establish which are the optimum procedures for lactonization and lactamization at 80 deg C under identical high-dilution conditions.The methods of Galli-Mandolini and Kellogg (cyclization of 9-bromodecanoate ion), Gerlach (cyclization of S-2-pyridyl 9-hydroxydecanethioate in the presence of AgClO4), and Yamaguchi (activation of the carboxyl group as a mixed anhydride) in the presence of an excess of DMAP appear to be the most useful for the preparation of the 10-membered lactone, phoracantolide I, under these conditions.Analogously, treatment of S-2-pyridyl 9-azidodecanethionate with Sn(SePh)3(1-) afforded the best yield of the 10-membered lactam.The mixed anhydrides RCOOCOAr (Ar = 2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) are more reactive than thioesters RCOSPy (Py = 2-pyridyl) with benzyl alcohol or benzylamine; it is confirmed that the addition of DMAP activates the reaction of alcohols with mixed anhydrides much more than with pyridyl thioesters, while the addition of Ag(1+) strongly activates RCOSPy in relation to either RCOOCOAr or RCOOSO2Mes.
