Hydroxylamines: from synthetic intermediates to synthetic targets
No full textConspectusSynergy between the teaching and research activities of a University should be a source of new ideas, each informing the other. A classroom discussion gave rise to our concept of using hydroxylamines as a form of "tethered nitrogen" for alkaloid synthesis. The "tether" temporarily connects a nucleophilic nitrogen atom to the substrate, rendering an intermolecular reaction intramolecular, thus providing stereo- and regiochemical control for C-N bond formation. In the context of the synthesis of 1,3-amino alcohols, this necessitated the synthesis of isoxazolidines. This concept led to the exploration of methods for the synthesis of these heterocycles beyond the well-established 1,3-dipolar cycloadditions. The first two methods developed based upon this concept were palladium catalyzed cyclocarbonylation and silver catalyzed allene cyclization. These new methods were applied to two syntheses of sedamine and the synthesis of three Nuphar alkaloids. Intramolecular aza-Michael addition, combined with the use of cross-metathesis to generate the substrates, gave access to both isoxazolidines and tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines. This new method made possible a synthesis of monomorine with high stereochemical control. The extension to more complex alkaloids required the incorporation of additional chemistry. Combining allene cyclization with iminium ion chemistry allowed the extension to the more complex piperidine alkaloids porantheridine and sedinine. In these cases, successful stereocontrol relied on the ability to predict the conformation of the intermediates and the trajectory of the nucleophilic attack, which may be sterically or stereoelectronically controlled. Inspection of our collection of methods revealed that we had good methods for cis-3,5-disubstituted isoxazolidines and trans-3,6-disubstituted tetrahydro-1,2-oxazines. Inspired by earlier work involving iminium ions, methods were developed to provide the complementary trans-isoxazolidines and cis-oxazines, using an allylation reaction. This, combined with our interest in applications of hydroformylation, led to the synthesis of 5-hydroxysedamine. Venturing away from piperidines, this method was successfully applied to the synthesis of the β-amino acid antibiotic negamycin. Use of N,O-heterocycles as intermediates naturally sparked an interest in N,O-heterocycles as synthetic targets, as there are many natural products that contain the hydroxylamine moiety, often incorporated into an isoxazolidine or 1,2-oxazine ring. As the presence of the hydroxylamine moiety cannot be fully demonstrated using the usual spectroscopic methods, total synthesis can be employed to bridge this logical gap. A synthesis of raistrickindole A, utilizing an intramolecular Mitsunobu reaction of a hydroxamic acid to form a 1,2-oxazine, confirmed the structure of this diketopiperazine natural product. A synthesis of preisomide, using an aza-Michael addition to form the required 1,2-oxazine, also confirmed the structure of this natural product.Ministry of Education (MOE)Nanyang Technological UniversitySubmitted/Accepted versionThis work was supported over the years by the Thailand Research Fund, the Chulabhorn Research Institute, the University of Exeter, Nanyang Technological University, and the Singapore Ministry of Education (grants T206B1220RS and MOE-T2EP10221-0003)
Approches synthétiques de produits naturels bioactifs et développement de nouvelles méthodes de synthèse
No full textPlus de la moitié des médicaments mis sur le marché entre 1981 et 2014 sont des produits naturels ou des dérivés. Ainsi, les structures des produits naturels sont une excellente source d'inspiration pour la découverte de nouveaux médicaments. L'introduction de cette thèse met en lumière le rôle important joué par les produits naturels en chimie médicinale. De plus, la préparation de produits naturels peut déboucher sur le développement de nouvelles méthodes de synthèse. Ainsi, au cours de cette thèse une approche synthétique de plusieurs produits naturels a été réalisée. Ces composés présentent des motifs clés tels que des amino-alcools 1,3, des diamines 1,3 ou un tétrahydropyrane. Les études synthétiques réalisées comprennent le développement de nouvelles méthodes pour accéder à ces structures. D'autre part, une réaction de Heck permettant l'accès à des précurseurs de tri-aryl éthylènes a été mise au point.It has been estimated that more than half of all approved drugs, from the period 1981 to 2014, are either natural products or their derivatives. This, thus, indicates that natural products (NP), together with natural product derived and natural product inspired structures are significant as sources for potential leads towards the discovery of new drugs. The introduction of this thesis thereby highlights the importance of natural products in the field of drug discovery. In addition, the introduction emphasizes on the importance of natural products as a field of research. This is as the synthesis of natural products can result in the development of new synthetic methods which can then be applied to a broader range of applications across the field of chemistry. This new information, thus, bridges a gap in the scientific knowledge and allows for progress in science. Therefore the content of this thesis describes the syntheses and development of new synthetic methods towards bioactive natural products containing 1,3-amino alcohol, 1.3-diamine, THP-ring as well as tri-aryl ethylene unit which represent the key themes of (+)-negamycin (Chapter 1), (-)-cernuine and (+)-cermizine D (Chapter 2), enigmazole A (Chapter 3) and tamoxifen (Chapter 4), respectively
Synthesis of azimic acid using hydroformylation
No full textA synthesis of the alkaloid azimic acid has been achieved using double hydroformylation with a single tandem condensation to form the six membered ring. The oxygen substituent was introduced by diastereoselective dihydroxylation, cis to the existing alkyl substituent. The methyl substituent was introduced via an iminium ion intermediate under stereoelectronic control.MOE (Min. of Education, S’pore
The endo-aza-Michael addition in the synthesis of piperidines and pyrrolidines
No full textIntramolecular endo-aza-Michael additions are categorised in various ways. Firstly whether they are single or double reactions, secondly whether they are endo- or exo-activated (or both), thirdly whether the Michael acceptor is an alkene or an alkyne, and finally whether the product is a six or a five membered ring. Reactions in the various categories are illustrated by syntheses of piperidines and pyrrolidines, including a range of natural products. The question of the stereochemical outcome and whether it is understood is discussed.MOE (Min. of Education, S’pore)Accepted versio
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Synthesis of (−)-cytisine using a 6-endo aza-Michael addition
No full textAn asymmetric synthesis of (-)-cytisine has been achieved. The piperidine C-ring was formed using a stereodivergent intramolecular 6-endo aza-Michael addition. The B-ring was established by intramolecular pyridine N-alkylation. The absolute stereochemistry was established by an Evans acyl oxazolidinone enolate alkylation reaction that proceeded with an unexpected stereochemical outcome due to participation of the pyridine nitrogen lone pair.MOE (Min. of Education, S’pore)Accepted versio
