- 'Chiron' approach to the total synthesis of macrolide (+)-Aspicilin
-
An efficient total synthesis of 18 membered macrolactone, (+)-Aspicilin (lichen macrolide) has been achieved in 12 linear steps with 10.2% overall yield from carbohydrate based building block d-glucal. Highlights of the strategy include preparation of 2-deoxysugar from protected glycal 14, two-carbon Wittig olefination of the Swern oxidised intermediate 7, union of 'carbohydrate based' fragment 5 and a long chain (C-11) chiral alcohol 6 by Yamaguchi esterification and finally ring closing metathesis of the resulting compound 4.

- Synthesis and characterization of some atypical sphingoid bases
-
Sphingolipids are ubiquitous and abundant components of all eukaryotic and some prokaryotic organisms. Sphingolipids show a large structural variety not only between the different species, but also within an individual cell. This variety is not limited to alterations in the polar headgroups of e.g. glycosphingolipids, but also affects the lipophilic anchors comprised of different fatty acids on the one hand and different sphingoid bases on the other hand. The structural variations within different sphingoid bases e.g. in pathogens can be used to identify novel biomarkers and drug targets and the specific change in the profile of common and uncommon sphingolipids are associated with pathological conditions like diabetes or cancer. Therefore, the emerging field of sphingolipidomics is dedicated to collect data on the sphingolipidome of a cell and hence to assign changes therein to certain states of a cell or to pathological conditions. This powerful tool however is still limited by the availability of structural information about the individual lipid species as well as by the availability of appropriate internal standards for quantification. Herein we describe the synthesis of a variety of 1-deoxy-sphingoid bases. 1-DeoxySphingolipids have recently acquired significant attention due to its pathological role in the rare inherited neuropathy, HSAN1 but also as predictive biomarkers in diabetes type II. Some of the compounds synthesized and characterized herein, have been used and will be used to elucidate the correct structure of these disease-related lipids and their metabolites.

- Long-Chain Alkyl Cyanides: Unprecedented Volatile Compounds Released by Pseudomonas and Micromonospora Bacteria
-
The analysis of volatiles from bacterial cultures revealed long-chain aliphatic nitriles, a new class of natural products. Such nitriles are produced by both Gram-positive Micromonospora echinospora and Gram-negative Pseudomonas veronii bacteria, although the structures differ. A variable sequence of chain elongation and dehydration in the fatty acid biosynthesis leads to either unbranched saturated or unsaturated nitriles with an ω?7 double bond, such as (Z)-11-octadecenenitrile, or methyl-branched unsaturated nitriles with the double bond located at C-3, such as (Z)-13-methyltetradec-3-enenitrile. The nitrile biosynthesis starts from fatty acids, which are converted into their amides and finally dehydrated. The structures and biosyntheses of the 19 naturally occurring compounds were elucidated by mass spectrometry, synthesis, and feeding experiments with deuterium-labeled precursors. Some of the nitriles showed antimicrobial activity, for example, against multiresistant Staphylococcus aureus strains.

- Low catalyst loading in ring-closing metathesis reactions
-
An efficient procedure is described for ring-closing metathesis reactions. A conversion of 95 % for diethyl diallylmalonate in dilute solution could be achieved within a few minutes, reaching TOF=4173min-1, with very low loading of commercially available Ru catalysts that contained unsaturated NHC ligands. In general, only 50 to 250ppm of the catalyst is required to achieve near-quantitative conversion into a broad variety of 5-16-membered heterocyclic compounds. The practicality of this procedure was illustrated in the synthesis of 5-8-membered N-tert-butoxycarbonyl (N-Boc)- and N-para-toluenesulfonyl (N-Ts)-protected cyclic amines and 9-16-membered lactones. The synthesis of macrocyclic proline-based lactams required slightly higher catalyst loadings. Along with monocyclic products, oligomeric byproducts, mostly cyclodimers, were isolated and characterized. Getting some closure: An efficient procedure is described for ring-closing metathesis reactions in which only 50 to 250ppm of catalyst is required to effect almost-quantitative conversion into a broad range of 5-16-membered heterocyclic compounds. The practicality of this procedure was illustrated in the synthesis of 5-8-membered N-protected cyclic amines, 9-16-membered lactones, and 11-16-membered proline-based lactams. Copyright

- Syntheses and palladium, platinum, and borane adducts of symmetrical trialkylphosphines with three terminal vinyl groups, P((CH2) mCH=CH2)3
-
Reactions of Br(CH2)mCH=CH2 with Mg powder and then PCl3 (0.33 equiv.) afford P((CH2)m-CH=CH 2)3 (1; m = a, 4; b, 5; c, 6; d, 7; e, 8; f, 9; 52-87 %). Reactions of 1a-c, e with PdX2(COD) (X = Cl, Br) give trans-PdX 2(P((CH2)mCH=CH2)3) 2 (35-92 %). Reactions of 1b-e with PtCl2 in benzene give mainly trans-PtCl2(P((CH2)mCH=CH 2)3)2 (trans-5b-e; 52-75 %), whereas those with K2PtCl4 in water give mainly cis-5b-e (33-70 %). The reaction of equimolar quantities of 1c and H3B.S(CH3) 2 gives the 1 : 1 adduct H3B·P((CH 2)6CH=CH2)3 (85 %). In none of these transformations are by-products derived from the C=C linkages observed.

- Alkenylsilane structure effects on mononuclear and binuclear organotitanium-mediated ethylene polymerization: Scope and mechanism of simultaneous polyolefin branch and functional group introduction
-
Alkenylsilanes of varying chain lengths are investigated as simultaneous chain-transfer agents and comonomers in organotitanium-mediated olefin polymerization processes. Ethylene polymerizations were carried out with activated CGCTiMe2 and EBICGCTi2Me4 (CGC = Me2Si(Me4C5)(NtBu); EBICGC = (μ-CH2CH2-3,3′){(η5-indenyl)[1- Me2Si(tBuN)]}2) precatalysts in the presence of allylsilane, 3-butenylsilane, 5-hexenylsilane, and 7-octenylsilane. In the presence of these alkenylsilanes, high polymerization activities (up to 10 7 g of polymer/(mol of Ti-atm ethylene·h)), narrow product copolymer polydispersities, and substantial amounts of long-chain branching are observed. Regardless of Ti nuclearity, alkenylsilane incorporation levels follow the trend C8H15SiH3 6H 11SiH3 ≈ C4H7SiH3 3H5SiH3. Alkenylsilane comonomer incorporation levels are consistently higher for CGCTiMe2-mediated copolymerizations (up to 54%) in comparison with EBICGCTi2Me 4-mediated copolymerizations (up to 32%). The long-chain branching levels as compared to the total branch content follow the trend C 3H5SiH3 4H7SiH 3 ≈ C6H11SiH3 ≈ C 8H15SiH3, with gel permeation chromatography-multi-angle laser light scattering-derived branching ratios (gM) approaching 1.0 for C8H15SiH3. Time-dependent experiments indicate a linear increase of copolymer Mw with increasing polymerization reaction time. This process for producing long-chain branched polyolefins by coupling of an α-olefin with a chain-transfer agent in one comonomer is unprecedented. Under the conditions investigated, alkenylsilanes ranging from C3 to C8 are all efficient chain-transfer agents. Ti nuclearity significantly influences silanolytic chain-transfer processes, with the binuclear system exhibiting a sublinear relationship between Mn and [alkenylsilane]-1 for allylsilane and 3-butenylsilane, and a superlinear relationship between Mn and [alkenylsilane]-1 for 5-hexenylsilane and 7-octenylsilane. For the mononuclear Ti system, alkenylsilanes up to C 6 exhibit a linear relationship between Mn and [alkenylsilane]-1, consistent with a simple silanolytic chain termination mechanism.

- The first total synthesis of naturally occurring (+)-gymnasterkoreayne F and its enantiomer
-
The first total synthesis of naturally occurring (+)-gymnasterkoreayne F and its enantiomer is reported. The seven-step route to these two polyacetylenes in enantiomerically pure form involves the use of (+)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-l- threitol and (-)-2,3-O-isopropylidene-d-threitol, respectively, as the starting material and a Cadiot-Chodkiewicz reaction as a key step. The absolute configuration of (+)-gymnasterkoreayne F has been confirmed to be (2E,8S,Z). The natural product and its enantiomer have been found to exhibit modest cytotoxicity against the 60 human tumor cell lines of the National Cancer Institute.

- Evaluation of exo-endo ratios in the halolactonization of ω-unsaturated acids
-
The reaction of 2-(ω-alkenyl)benzoic acids with bis(collidine)iodine and bis(collidine)bromine hexafluorophosphate was examined. Except with 2-but-3-enylbenzoic acid, for which only the exo lactone was obtained, for the other acids a mixture of exo-endo lactones was always obtained. The proportion of endo lactone was important for the acid chain length of 11 carbons (formation of a 12-membered ring endo lactone) and for the acid chain lengths higher than 14 carbons. The formation of the endo lactones was explained, on the base of molecular calculations, by competition between electronic and steric effects. These latter were developed by transannular interactions (for the acid chain lengths 8-11) and/or the conformations adopted by the chains (for the acid chain lengths ≥ 14,) which disfavored the formation of the exo lactones. The larger proportion of endo lactones observed with the bromo reagent compared to the iodo reagent seemed due to electronic factors.

-
The chemoenzymatic synthesis of the racemate and the one enantiomer of the fluorinated analogue 8 of the natural cyclooxygenase inhibitor lasiodiplodin is decribed. A lipase-mediated deracemization of the fluorohydrin 18 provided the chiral, nonracemic building block for the enantioselective synthesis of the title compound. The key step was the formation of the 12-membered lactene by a ring-closing metathesis.
