Diesters obtained from diacids produced by oxidative ring cleavage of cycloadducts derived from acyl-nitroso compounds and cyclic 1,3-dienes undergo highly regioselective hydrolysis on reaction with lithium hydroperoxide, which allows for easy differentiation of the carboxyl groups leading to a new approach to polyoxamic acid.

Historically, natural products have played a major role in the development of antibiotics. Their complex chemical structures and high polarity give them advantages in the drug discovery process. In the broad range of natural products, sesquiterpene lactones are interesting compounds because of their diverse biological activities, their high-polarity, and sp-carbon-rich chemical structures.

The acyl nitroso Diels-Alder reaction of 1,3-dienes with electrochemically oxidised hydroxamic acids is described. By using alternating current electrolysis, their typical electro-induced decomposition could be suppressed in favour of the 1,2-oxazine cycloaddition products. The reaction was optimised using Design of Experiments (DoE) and a sensitivity test was conducted.

Synthetic Studies on Pactamycin: A Synthesis of Johnson's Intermediate.

Org Lett

May 2020

School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Shizuoka, 52-1 Yada, Suruga-ku, Shizuoka 422-8526, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • A complete synthesis of pactamycin was achieved using a specific nitroso Diels-Alder reaction involving a chiral auxiliary and cyclopentadiene.
  • The creation of a chiral secondary alcohol was carried out with a catalyst called (,)-Ts-DENEB.
  • The resulting compound from the NDA reaction was easily transformed into Johnson's intermediate for further processing.*

The selective oxidation of C2-alkyl-substituted indoles to 3-oxindole and the selective C-H oxygenation or amination of C2,C3-dialkyl-substituted indoles at C2 are reported under mild conditions. The position of the alkyl substitution on the indole directs the reaction to different pathways under similar conditions.

Acyl nitroso compounds or nitrosocarhonyls (RC(O)N═O) are reactive short-lived electrophiles, and their hydrolysis and reactions with nucleophiles produce HNO. Previously, direct detection of acyl nitroso species in nonaqueous media has been provided by time-resolved infrared spectroscopy demonstrating that its half-life is about 1 ms. In the present study hydroxamic acids (RC(O)NHOH) are oxidized electrochemically in buffered aqueous solutions (pH 5.
