- Iron-Catalyzed Vinylzincation of Terminal Alkynes
-
Organozinc reagents are among the most commonly used organometallic reagents in modern synthetic chemistry, and multifunctionalized organozinc reagents can be synthesized from structurally simple, readily available ones by means of alkyne carbozincation. However, this method suffers from poor tolerance for terminal alkynes, and transformation of the newly introduced organic groups is difficult, which limits its applications. Herein, we report a method for vinylzincation of terminal alkynes catalyzed by newly developed iron catalysts bearing 1,10-phenanthroline-imine ligands. This method provides efficient access to novel organozinc reagents with a diverse array of structures and functional groups from readily available vinylzinc reagents and terminal alkynes. The method features excellent functional group tolerance (tolerated functional groups include amino, amide, cyano, ester, hydroxyl, sulfonyl, acetal, phosphono, pyridyl), a good substrate scope (suitable terminal alkynes include aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl acetylenes bearing various functional groups), and high chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity. The method could significantly improve the synthetic efficiency of various important bioactive molecules, including vitamin A. Mechanistic studies indicate that the new iron-1,10-phenanthroline-imine catalysts developed in this study have an extremely crowded reaction pocket, which promotes efficient transfer of the vinyl group to the alkynes, disfavors substitution reactions between the zinc reagent and the terminal C–H bond of the alkynes, and prevents the further reactions of the products. Our findings show that iron catalysts can be superior to other metal catalysts in terms of activity, chemoselectivity, regioselectivity, and stereoselectivity when suitable ligands are used.

- A cross-metathesis approach to the synthesis of new etretinate type retinoids, ethyl retinoate and its 9Z-isomer
-
Two aromatic retinoids were synthesized from styrene derivatives using a novel strategy with a cross-metathesis reaction as a key step. The biological activity of the new etretinate analogues was tested. Cross-metathesis reactions were also employed for the preparation of ethyl retinoate and its 9Z-isomer via the C15 + C5 route.

- Preparation and biological activity of 13-substituted retinoic acids
-
13-Demethyl or 13-substituted all-E- and 9Z-retinoic acids were synthesized using a palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of enol triflates and tributylstannylolefins. Their biological activities were then measured. The 13-ethyl analogs exhibited approximately one-half of the antiproliferative and differentiation-inducing activity of ATRA in HL-60 cells. In contrast, in the 9Z-derivatives, all analogs, except for the 13-butyl derivatives, showed apoptosis-inducing activity.

A novel method for the stereoselective synthesis of all-E-, 13Z- and 9Z- retionic acid esters was developed by palladium-catalyzed cross coupling reactions of tetraenyl stannanes with E- or Z-vinyl triflates in good yields.

- A comprehensive survey of Stille-type C(sp2)-C(sp2) single bond forming processes in the synthesis of retinoic acid and analogs
-
The synthesis of the retinoid skeleton has been exhaustively explored using the Stille coupling for the formation of the side- chain single bonds. On employing the experimental catalytic conditions developed by Farina [Pd2(dba)3, AsPh3, NMP] we have modified the electronic and steric requirement of the coupling partners, alkenyl stannanes and electrophiles (alkenyl iodides and triflates). The comprehensive survey afforded appropriately matched components for every bond formation considered. Moreover, from the comparison of the reactivities of different coupling partners with different degrees of steric hindrance, the sensitivity of the Stille coupling to steric effects was confirmed. Besides providing a variety of building blocks for retinoid synthesis, the study highlights some trends that might be useful for the application of the Stille reaction to the synthesis of unsubstituted conjugated polyenes.

- Stereoselective synthesis of 9-cis-retinoic acid by Suzuki reaction
-
The entire polyenic side chain of ethyl 9-cis-retinoate (7) has been stereoselectively synthesized and attached to the hydrophobic ring by a high-yielding thallium-accelerated Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. The Suzuki reaction partners, tetraenyl iodide 18 and alkenyl organoborane 19, are more conveniently used immediately after generation from their precursors. Alternative approaches using either the Stille reaction or a Suzuki reaction with a shorter polyenic component proved less efficient. The highly convergent sequence can be adapted to the preparation of analogs of 9-cis-retinoic acid (2), the natural ligand for the retinoid X (RXR) subfamily of nuclear receptors.

- A Novel Method for a Stereoselective Synthesis of Trisubstituted Olefin Using Tricarbonyliron Complex: A Highly Stereoselective Synthesis of (all-E)- and (9Z)-Retinoic Acids
-
In order to establish the stereoselective synthesis of retinoic acids, which are ligand molecules of the retinoic acid receptors (RARs, all-E-isomer) and the retinoid X receptors (RXRs, 9Z-isomer), the reaction of β-ionone-tricarbonyliron complex 7 with carbanions was investigated. Treatment of 7 with the lithium salt of acetonitrile afforded (7E,9E)-β-ionylideneacetonitrile-tricarbonyliron complex 8 exclusively, via addition, dehydration, and migration of tricarbonyliron complex. On the contrary, the reaction of 7 with the lithium enolate of ethyl acetate and subsequent dehydration by thionyl chloride afforded the ethyl (7E,9Z)-β-ionylideneacetate-tricarbonyliron complex 16b predominantly. These compounds (8 and 16b) were converted to the corresponding β-ionylidene-acetaldehyde-tricarbonyliron complexes (10 and 22) in excellent yields, respectively. The Emmons-Horner reaction of these compounds with C5-phosphonate followed by the sequence of decomplexation and alkaline hydrolysis gave the corresponding retinoic acids (26 and 29).

- Base-catalyzed isomerization of retinoic acid. Synthesis and differentiation-inducing activities of 14-alkylated all-trans-, 13-cis-, and 20,14-retro-retinoic acids
-
Retinoic acid (1) is isomerized regioselectively by excess amounts of lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) to give 20,14-retro-retinoic acid (3). Alkylation of the intermediate dianion of retinoic acid gave 14-alkylated derivatives of 3. By isomerization of the alkylated retro isomers under basic conditions, several 14-alkyl-all-trans- and -13-cis-retinoic acids were synthesized. The retinoidal activities of these derivatives were examined, based on the ability to induce differentiation of human promyelocytic leukemia cell line HL-60. 20,14-retro-Retinoic acid (3) is 1/50 as active as retinoic acid (1). Although 14-methyl-20,14-retro-retinoic acid (4) is as active as 3, the introduction of a 14-methyl group into all-trans- and 13- cis-retinoic acid resulted in decreased activity. Introduction of bulkier alkyl groups at the C-14 position caused the disappearance of the activity.
