3,5-二烷氧基甲苯的溴化反应研究

3,5-二甲氧基甲苯在偶氮二异丁腈的存在下与N-溴代丁二酰亚胺(NBS)反应,产物不是3,5-二甲氧基苄溴,而是2-溴-3,5-二甲氧基甲苯和2,6-二溴-3,5-二甲氧基甲苯.同样条件下,3,5-二乙酰氧基甲苯与NBS反应则生成3,5-二乙酰氧基苄溴.GAUSSIAN 03计算的结果表明,3,5-二甲氧基甲苯中苯环碳原子上的电荷密度高于侧链上碳原子上的电荷密度,因此溴自由基更容易取代苯环上的氢,而3,5-二乙酰氧基甲苯的情况恰好相反,故产物是3,5-二乙酰氧基苄溴.

Efficient synthesis of natural polyphenolic stilbenes: resveratrol, piceatannol and oxyresveratrol

The practical synthesis of important natural polyphenolic stilbenes, including resveratrol, piceatannol and oxyresveratrol, through Perkin methodology is described. Starting from 3,5-dihydoxyacetophenone (1), the common intermediate 3,5-dimethoxyphenylacetic acid (3) can be obtained via methylation and Willgerodt-Kindler reaction. Perkin condensations between (3) and substituted phenylaldehydes 4 furnished E-2,3-diarylacrylic acids 5, followed by decarboxylation in Cu/quinoline giving stilbene intermediates 6 which bear the Z-configuration. Finally, through a simultaneous demethylation/isomerization process in AlI?/CH?CN system, the target compounds 7a-c can be obtained respectively in good to high overall yields. The synthetic method proved to be more concise, trans-specific, mild, economical and commonly applicable.     

Acid-promoted reaction of the stilbene antioxidant resveratrol with nitrite ions: mild phenolic oxidation at the 4'-hydroxystiryl sector triggering nitration, dimerization, and aldehyde-forming routes

In 0.1 M phosphate buffer, pH 3.0, and at 37 degrees C, resveratrol ((E)-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene, 1a), an antioxidant and cancer chemopreventive phytoalexin, reacted smoothly at 25 microM or 1 mM concentration with excess nitrite ions (NO2(-)) to give a complex pattern of products, including two novel regioisomeric alpha-nitro (3a) and 3'-nitro (4) derivatives along with some (E)-3,4',5-trihydroxy-2,3'-dinitrostilbene (5), four oxidative breakdown products, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 4-hydroxy-3-nitrobenzaldehyde, 3,5-dihydroxyphenylnitromethane, and 3,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde, two dimers, the resveratrol (E)-dehydrodimer 6 and restrytisol B (7), and the partially cleaved dimer 2. The same products were formed in the absence of oxygen. 1H,15N HMBC and LC/MS analysis of the crude mixture obtained by reaction of 1a with Na (15)NO2 suggested the presence of 3,4',5,beta-tetrahydroxy-alpha-nitro-alpha,beta-dihydrostilbene (8) as unstable intermediate which escaped isolation. Under similar conditions, the structurally related catecholic stilbene piceatannol ((E)-3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxystilbene, 1b) gave, besides (E)-3,3',4,5'-tetrahydroxy-beta-nitrostilbene (3b), 3,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde and small amounts of 3,5-dihydroxybenzaldehyde. Mechanistic experiments were consistent with the initial generation of the phenoxyl radical of 1a at 4'-OH, which may undergo free radical coupling with NO2 at the alpha- or 3'-position, to give eventually nitrated derivatives and/or oxidative double bond fission products, or self-coupling, to give dimers. The oxygen-independent, NO2(-)-mediated oxidative fission of the double bond under mild, physiologically relevant conditions is unprecedented in stilbene chemistry and is proposed to involve breakdown of hydroxynitro(so) intermediates of the type 8.     

Occurrence of C-glucoside of resveratrol oligomers in Hopea parviflora

Investigation of the highly polar chemical constituents in the stem of Hopea parviflora (Dipterocarpaceae) resulted in the isolation of four new resveratrol derivatives, hopeasides A and B (1, 2) (resveratrol pentamers), C (3) (resveratrol trimer), and D (4) (resveratrol dimer) together with nine known resveratrol oligomers (5-13). The new structures have a common partial structure of the 1-hydroxy-1-(3,5-dihydroxy-2-C-glucopyranosylphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane-2-yl group after oxidative condensation of (E)-resveratrol-10-C-β-glucopyranoside (14). The structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis including 2D-NMR and computer-aided molecular modeling. The biogenetic relationship of the isolates and NMR characteristics caused by steric hindrance are also discussed in this paper.     

Antioxidant effects of resveratrol and its analogues against the free-radical-induced peroxidation of linoleic acid in micelles

The antioxidant effect of resveratrol (3,4',5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene) and its analogues, that is, 4-hydroxy-trans-stilbene (4-HS), 3,5-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,5-DHS), 4,4'-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene (4,4'-DHS), 3,4-dihydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,4-DHS), 3,4,5-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,4,5-THS) and 3,4,4'-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene (3,4,4'-THS), against the peroxidation of linoleic acid has been studied in sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) micelles. The peroxidation was initiated thermally by a water-soluble azo initiator 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride (AAPH), and the reaction kinetics were studied by monitoring the formation of linoleic acid hydroperoxides. The synergistic antioxidant effect of these compounds with alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E) was also studied by following the decay kinetics of alpha-tocopherol and the reaction intermediate, the alpha-tocopheroxyl radical. Kinetic analysis of the antioxidant process demonstrates that these compounds are effective antioxidants in micelles used either alone or in combination with alpha-tocopherol. The antioxidative action involves trapping the propagating lipid peroxyl radical and reducing the alpha-tocopheroxyl radical to regenerate alpha-tocopherol. It was found that the antioxidant activity of resveratrol analogues depends significantly on the position of the hydroxyl groups, the oxidation potential of the molecule and the reaction medium. Molecules with ortho-dihydroxyl and/or para-hydroxyl functionalities possess high activity.

Thermal decomposition of the dichloro-(3,5-dimethylpyrazole)-copper(II) complex results in an unstable intermediate with a stochiometric composition. The decomposition of the other compounds is continuous. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Process development and large-scale synthesis of NK1 antagonist

A scaleable synthetic route is described to obtain 2-(4-acetylpiperadin-1-yl)-6-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylmethyl]-4-(2-methylphenyl)-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,5]oxazocin-5-one (1, KRP-103) as a neurokinin (NK)(1) antagonist. The key step in the synthesis is the intramolecular cyclization of N-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylmethyl]-N-(3-hydroxypropyl)-4-chloro-6-(2-methylphenyl)-2-methylthiopyrimidine-5-carboxamide (15) which was obtained by amide formation between 4-(2-methylphenyl)-2-methylthio-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyrimidine-5-carboxylic acid (8) and 3-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylmethylamino]-1-propanol (3). Treatment of 15 with 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]undec-7-ene provided 6-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenylmethyl]-4-(2-methylphenyl)-2-methylthio-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,5]oxazocin-5-one (6). This intermediate (6) is transformed into the candidate compound (1) by two steps; oxidation, and substitution reaction of the resultant sulfone (7) with 1-acetylpiperazine. This synthetic method is free of chromatographic purification and is amenable to large scale synthesis.     

Highly fluorinated aryl-substituted tris(indazolyl)borate thallium complexes: diverse regiochemistry at the B-N bond

The synthesis and characterization (mainly by (19)F NMR and X-ray diffraction) of highly fluorinated aryl-4,5,6,7-tetrafluoroindazoles and their corresponding thallium hydrotris(indazolyl)borate complexes are reported [aryl = phenyl, pentafluorophenyl, 3,5-dimethylphenyl, 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]. Thanks to N-H···N hydrogen bonds, the indazoles crystallize as dimers that pack differently depending on the nature of the aryl group. The thallium hydrotris(indazolyl)borate complexes Tl[Fn-Tp(4Bo,3aryl)] resulting from the reaction of aryl-4,5,6,7-tetrafluoroindazoles [aryl = phenyl, 3,5-dimethylphenyl, 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl] with thallium borohydride adopt overall C(3v) symmetry with the indazolyl groups bound to boron via their N-1 nitrogen in a conventional manner. When the perfluorinated pentaphenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrafluoroindazole is reacted with thallium borohydride, a single regioisomer of C(s) symmetry having one indazolyl ring bound to boron via its N-2 nitrogen, TlHB(3-pentafluorophenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrafluoroindazol-1-yl)(2)(3-pentafluorophenyl-4,5,6,7-tetrafluoroindazol-2-yl) Tl[F27-Tp((4Bo,3C6F5)*)], is obtained for the first time. Surprisingly, the perfluorinated dihydrobis(indazolyl)borate complex Tl[F(18)-Bp(3Bo,3C6F5)], an intermediate on the way to the hydrotris(indazolyl)borate complex, has C(s) symmetry with two indazolyl rings bound to boron via N-2. The distortion of the coordination sphere around Tl and the arrangement of the complexes in the crystal are discussed.     

Challenges associated with the synthesis of unusual o-carboxamido stilbenes by the Heck protocol: Intriguing substituent effects, their toxicological and chemopreventive implications

The syntheses of fourteen unusual o-carboxamido stilbenes by the Heck protocol revealed surprising complexity related to intriguing substituent effects with mechanistic implications. The unexpected cytotoxic and chemopreventive properties also seem to be substituent dependent. For example, although stilbene 15d (with a 4-methoxy substituent) showed cytotoxicity on HT29 colon cancer cells with an IC(50) of 4.9 μM, the 3,4-dimethoxy derivative (15c) is inactive. It is interesting to observe that the 3,5-dimethoxy derivative (15e) showed remarkable chemopreventive activity in WRL-68 fetal hepatocytes, surpassing the gold standard, resveratrol. The resveratrol concentration needed to be 5 times higher than that of 15e to produce comparable elevation of NQO1.
