Article Abstract
A samarium-promoted synthesis of (E)-nitroalkenes from 1-bromo-1-nitroalkan-2-ols in high yields and with total selectivity is reported. This reaction together with the easy and efficient preparation of the 1-bromo-1-nitroalkan-2-ols constitutes a simple and advantageous alternative toward nitroalkenes with total E-stereoselectivity. A mechanism is proposed to explain the E-stereoselectivity of the beta-elimination reaction.

Samarium-promoted coupling of 1,10-phenanthroline with carbonyl compounds for synthesis of new ligands.

1,10-Phenanthroline reacts with aldehydes and ketones in the presence of samarium diiodide to produce 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-1,10-phenanthrolines. The hydroxyalkyl substituent can be functionalized in numerous ways or removed to permit further ligand variation. The carbonyl coupling reaction can also be repeated to provide 2,9-disubstituted phenanthrolines.

[formula: see text] 1,10-Phenanthroline undergoes coupling with ketones promoted by samarium diiodide to produce 2-(1-hydroxyalkyl)-1,10-phenanthrolines. O-Methylation of these derivatives provides the corresponding 2-(1-methoxyalkyl)phenanthrolines. Demethoxylation with samarium diiodide then affords 2-alkylphenanthrolines.

The glycon moiety of nucleosides in solution is known to exist in a rapid dynamic equilibrium between extreme northern and southern conformations as defined by the pseudorotation cycle. The concept of preparing rigid nucleoside analogues with the glycon conformation locked in one of these two extremes was tested with the synthesis of some cyclopropane-fused dideoxycarbocyclic nucleosides, similar to the well-known class of anti-HIV active dideoxynucleosides. The new compounds described here are dideoxynucleoside analogues of the fermentation product neplanocin C (6) which exhibits a typical northern geometry for its 6-oxabicyclo[3.
