Diastereoselective reactions between (S)-phenylglycinol-derived oxazolidines and two unsaturated organolithium reagents afforded chiral beta-amino alcohols having vinyl and alkynylsilane moieties. When the same reactions were performed in the presence of titanium isopropoxide, a dramatic change of regioselectivity was observed, from the alpha- to the gamma-position, thus producing beta-amino alcohols with allyl or allenylsilane functions. A rationalization of the observed diastereoselectivity was suggested for each case.

This study investigates the repurposing of asphaltene, a petroleum waste product, as a catalyst for organic reactions. Sulfonated asphaltene was synthesized and evaluated for its efficacy in catalyzing the Mannich reaction, displaying notable diastereoselectivity and operating effectively under mild conditions. Characterization of the catalyst's chemical composition, structure, and thermal stability was conducted using FT-IR, TGA, XRD, CHN, BET-BJH, SEM, and EDS analyses.

Herein we successfully utilize various directing groups to achieve a ligand-enabled nickel-catalyzed 1,2-borylalkylation of unactivated alkenes. A β-amino alcohol was employed as the ligand for non-asymmetric 1,2-borylalkylation of unactivated alkenes, while a bulky chiral diamine ligand was used to achieve the asymmetric 1,2-borylalkylation of allyl amides.

Synthesis of Amphiphilic Cationic Poly(β-amino acid) Derivatives and Their PEG Length Optimization for mRNA Transfection.

Biomacromolecules

Department of Biological Sciences and Bioengineering, Inha University, 100 Inha-ro, Michuhol-gu, Incheon 22212, Republic of Korea.

We synthesized a series of amphiphilic cationic poly(ethylene glycol)--poly(β-amino acid) derivatives with various lengths of PEG to investigate the effects of PEG lengths on mRNA transfection. The surface charges of the polyplexes with a DP ≥ 4 gradually decreased as DP increased. This indicated that hydrophilic PEG with a DP ≥ 4 was exposed on the surface of the polyplexes, which was further confirmed using H NMR.

Polysubstituted Pyridines from 1,4-Oxazinone Precursors.

J Org Chem

December 2024

Department of Chemistry, William & Mary, P.O. Box 8795, Williamsburg, Virginia 23187, United States.

This study describes a general method for the preparation of 1,4-oxazin-2-one intermediates from acetylene dicarboxylate and β-amino alcohol precursors. Oxazinones prepared in this manner were employed in a tandem cycloaddition/cycloreversion reaction sequence with a model alkyne (phenyl acetylene) to give substituted pyridine products. Fundamental reactivity and selectivity studies are complemented by the synthesis of the polycyclic ergot alkaloid natural product xylanigripone A.

Cyclic carbamates based on (R)-(+)-limonene oxide for ring-opening polymerization.

Sci Rep

October 2024

Department of Chemistry, Materials, and Chemical Engineering "G. Natta", Politecnico di Milano, via Mancinelli 7, 20131, Milan, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method for creating polyurethanes without isocyanates is introduced, using β-amino alcohols synthesized from (R)-(+)-limonene oxide and primary amines in hot water.
  • The research explores the selectivity of these reactions through computational studies, particularly focusing on the role of water and the nucleophile in determining reaction outcomes.
  • Cyclic carbamates are formed from the β-amino alcohols, leading to an oligourethane via Anionic Ring-Opening Polymerization, with thorough characterization performed using H and C NMR spectroscopies.
