- A two-phase bromination process using tetraalkylammonium hydroxide for the practical synthesis of α-bromolactones from lactones
-
A simple and efficient method for α-brominating lactones that affords α-bromolactones under mild conditions using tetraalkylammonium hydroxide (R4N) as a base was developed. Lactones are ring-opened with Br2 and a substoichiometric amount of PBr3, leading to good yields of the corresponding α-bromocarboxylic acids. Subsequent intramolecular cyclization over 1 h using a two-phase system (H2O/CHCl3) containing R4N afforded α-bromo lactones in good yields. This method can be applied at the 10 mmol scale using simple operations. α-Bromo-δ-valerolactone, which is extremely reactive and difficult to isolate, could be isolated and stored in a freezer for about one week using the developed method. Optimizing the solvent for environmentally friendly large-scale syntheses revealed that methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) was as effective. In addition, in situ-generated α-bromo-δ-valerolactone was directly converted into a sulfur-substituted functional lactone without difficulty by reacting it with a sulfur nucleophile in one pot without isolation. This new bromination system is expected to facilitate the industrial use of α-bromolactones as important intermediates.

- Preparation method of DL-hydroxy selenomethionine
-
The invention belongs to the field of preparation of organic compounds. The invention provides a preparation method of DL-hydroxy selenomethionine. The method is characterized in that gamma-butyrolactone is used as a raw material, alpha-hydroxyl-gamma-butyrolactone is synthesized through alpha-bromination and hydroxylation, and then the alpha-hydroxyl-gamma-butyrolactone reacts with sodium methyl selenol to obtain the DL-hydroxyl selenomethionine. The method has the advantages of easily available raw materials, mild reaction conditions and low cost, and is suitable for large-scale preparation of DL-hydroxyselenomethionine.

- Synthetic method for glufosinate ammonium
-
The invention relates to a synthetic method for glufosinate ammonium. The synthetic method comprises the following steps: single-bromine substitution, amination, amino protection, chlorination ring opening, Arbuzov reaction and acidizing hydrolysis ammoniation; the single-bromine substitution means triggering alpha-site single-bromine substitution betweengamma-butyrolactone I and bromine under theexistence of catalyst and performing reduced pressure distillation, thereby acquiring a pure intermediate II alpha-bromine-gamma-butyrolactone; phosphorus tribromide is served as the catalyst; amination means triggering amination reaction between alpha-bromine-gamma-butyrolactone II and ammonium hydroxide, and then adding hydrochloric acid and reflowing, thereby acquiring an intermediate IIIalpha-amino-gamma-butyrolactone hydrochloride. The invention has the beneficial effects: 1) low-costgamma-butyrolactone is taken as a raw material, is subjected to single-bromine substitution with bromineand then is subjected to amination reaction with ammonium hydroxide; the adopted raw materials are low-cost and easily acquired; reaction conditions are mild; operation is simple and convenient; safety is high; amplifying production is feasible; reaction yield is high; product purity is high; cost is greatly lowered; the synthetic method is suitable for industrial production.

- Synthesis and in vitro antitumor activity of new butenolide-containing dithiocarbamates
-
Three series of butenolide-containing dithiocarbamates were designed and synthesized. Their anti-tumor activity in vitro was evaluated. Among them compound I-14 exhibited broad spectrum anti-cancer activity against five human cancer cell lines with IC50 30 μM. Structure-activity relationship analysis showed that the introduction of dithiocarbamate side chains on the C-3 position of butenolide was crucial for anti-tumor activity.

- Concise total synthesis of (-)-8-epigrosheimin
-
A highly efficient route was developed to synthesize (-)-8-epigrosheimin in four steps from aldehyde 2 based on a substrate-controlled method. The key steps of the synthesis included (1) a stereo- and regioselective allylation addition, (2) an intramolecular translactonization, and (3) an aldehyde-ene cyclization.

- Efficient synthesis of an A-B-C-tricycle fragment for a structural model of tolyporphin
-
An efficient stereocontrolled synthesis of an A-B-C-tricycle fragment 7 for a structural model of tolyporphin 3 is described. All the rings were prepared from readily available starting materials. One of the two key steps is a selective ring-opening reaction of the lactone cycle in bicyclolactam-lactone 17 to cyanopyrrolidone 18, which introduces the chirality into synthetic compounds. The other key step is the combination of A ring with B-C-bicycle via a two-time Eschenmoser sulfide contraction. A-B-C-tricycle fragment 7 allows a new approach toward tolypophin compounds and other uroporphinoids.
