Toward a stable hydroxyphosphorane.

Abstract

[reaction: see text] Hydroxy-pentaoxy-phosphoranes are transient intermediates formed during the hydrolysis of various phosphoesters. Kinetic analyses support the existence of such compounds, although they are not isolated. In an attempt to create a stable example, 2 equiv of a ligand possessing a very high effective molarity were attached to a central phosphorus. Instead of obtaining a hydroxyphosphorane, analysis by (31)P and (19)F NMR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography showed the product to be a phosphotriester. The reason for this is discussed.

N-Cycloalkanoyl-L-phenylalanine derivatives as VCAM/VLA-4 antagonists.

A systematic structure-activity relationship investigation of the lead compound 1 resulted the identification of several N-[(substituted alkyl)cycloalkanoyl]-4-[((2,6-dichlorophenyl)carbonyl)amino]-L-phenylalanine derivatives as potent VCAM/VLA-4 antagonists. The data are consistent with a model of these compounds in which these alkanoylphenylalanines reside in a compact gauche (-) bioactive conformation.

Highly diastereoselective desymmetrizations of cyclo(Pro,Pro): an enantioselective strategy toward phakellstatin and phakellin.

[reaction: see text] Monoenolates of C(2)-symmetric, proline-derived piperazine-2,5-diones were generated and trapped with a variety of electrophiles to produce, in a highly diastereoselective fashion, functionalized diketopiperazines (DKPs). These reactions provide the basis for an asymmetric, desymmetrization strategy toward the marine alkaloids phakellstatin and phakellin. The relative stereochemistry of the functionalized DKPs was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray analysis and/or NOE experiments. Bis-functionalization of the DKPs was also found to proceed with high levels of diastereoselectivity.

Kinetic resolution of racemic lactones by conjugate additions of allylic organolithium species: direct formation of three contiguous centers with high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

[reaction: see text] Kinetic resolution of racemic alpha,beta-unsaturated lactones by the organolithium species produced from asymmetric lithiation of N-Boc-N-(p-methoxyphenyl)cinnamylamine provides conjugate addition products with three contiguous stereogenic centers in yields of 62-77% with diastereomeric ratios from 75:25 to >99:1 and enantiomeric ratios for the major diastereomers from 94:6 to 98:2.
