Synthesis of tetrahydroisoquinoline with a 1,4-bridged 10-membered sulfur containing macrolactone (5) is described. Phenolic aldolisation, Pictet-Spengler cyclisation of an acid sensitive amino diol under newly developed conditions (LiBr, toluene-TFE, 80 degrees C) and acid promoted intramolecular C-S bond formation leading to a 10-membered cycle are key steps of our synthesis.

Base-Mediated Rearrangement of α-Dithioacetyl Propargylamines via Expansion of Dithioacetyl Ring: Synthesis of Medium-Sized -Heterocycles.

Base-mediated rearrangement of 1,3-dithianyl-substituted propargylamines in DMF via expansion of the dithiane ring has been reported. The rearrangement provided 9-membered amino-functionalized sulfur-containing heterocycles (dithionine derivatives) in good yields under mild conditions. Propargylamines bearing 5-membered 1,3-dithiolane and 7-membered 1,3-dithiepane rings rearranged in a similar manner yielding 8- and 10-membered -heterocycles, respectively.

Treating a scandium mixed alkyl/diaryloxide complex with phosphino-substituted alcohols resulted in the formation of scandium mixed alkoxyl/diaryloxide complexes Sc[OC(CH)CHPR][O-2,6- tBu-CH][THF] (6, R = Ph; 8, R = tBu). The reactivity of Sc-based Lewis pair complexes 6 and 8 toward a wide range of substrates was investigated. A ligand substitution reaction occurred when complex 6 was treated with benzophenone.

The asymmetric formal synthesis of schulzeines A and C is described. Key features of the synthesis include the efficient and stereoselective construction of the benzoquinolizidine skeleton via the aza-Claisen rearrangement-induced ring expansion of the 1-vinyl-N-glycyl-isoquinoline, which was prepared by the highly enantioselective asymmetric allylation of the 8-benzyloxy-substituted dihydroisoquinoline and by the acid-catalyzed transannulation of the resulting 10-membered lactam.

Three new briarane diterpenoids, briareolate esters L-N (1-3), have been isolated from a gorgonian Briareum asbestinum. Briareolate esters L (1) and M (2) are the first natural products possessing a 10-membered macrocyclic ring with a (E,Z)-dieneone and exhibit growth inhibition activity against both human embryonic stem cells (BG02) and a pancreatic cancer cell line (BxPC-3). Briareolate ester L (1) was found to contain a "spring-loaded" (E,Z)-dieneone Michael acceptor group that can form a reversible covalent bond to model sulfur-based nucleophiles.

Replacement of a non-bridging oxygen in the phosphate diester bond by a sulfur has become quite popular in nucleic acid research and is often used as a probe, for example, in ribozymes, where the normally essential Mg(2+) is partly replaced by a thiophilic metal ion to reactivate the system. Despite these widely applied rescue experiments no detailed studies exist quantifying the affinity of metal ions to such terminal sulfur atoms. Therefore, we performed potentiometric pH titrations to determine the binding properties of pUp((S))U(3-) towards Mg(2+), Mn(2+), Zn(2+), Cd(2+), and Pb(2+), and compared these data with those previously obtained for the corresponding pUpU(3-) complexes.
