Efficient synthesis of thioesters and amides from aldehydes by using an intermolecular radical reaction in water.

The combination of the water-soluble radical initiator, 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride (VA-044) and the surfactant, cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide (CTAB), was found to be the most suitable condition for the effective and direct synthesis of useful active thioesters (pentafluorophenyl thioesters) in water. In addition, the direct amidation of aldehydes was achieved by the addition of the amines to the thioesterification reaction mixture in water.

The efficient synthesis of morphinandienone alkaloids by using a combination of hypervalent iodine(III) reagent and heteropoly acid.

The non-phenolic coupling reaction of benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines (laudanosine derivatives) by using a hypervalent iodine(III) reagent is described. In general, chemical oxidation of laudanosine gives glaucine. In contrast to general chemical oxidizing reagent systems, the novel use of reagent combination of phenyliodine bis(trifluoroacetate) (PIFA), and heteropoly acid (HPA) afforded morphinandienone alkaloids in excellent yields. In order to achieve the coupling reaction with simple reaction procedure, the use of HPA supported on silica gel instead of HPA was demonstrated and sufficient yield was exerted again. The present reagent system, PIFA/HPA, was also applied to the oxidation of other non-phenolic benzyltetrahydroisoquinolines and the high yield conversion to morphinandienones was accomplished.

A novel and concise synthesis of spirodienone alkaloids using hypervalent iodine(III) reagents.

Intramolecular oxidative coupling reaction of N-protected benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives using hypervalent iodine(III) reagents was investigated. The use of remarkable combination of phenyliodine bis (trifluoroacetate) (PIFA) and heteropoly acid (HPA) in wet acetonitrile smoothly afforded morphinandienone alkaloids, while neospirinedienone alkaloids were obtained in high yield under anhydrous conditions.
