A concise, transition metal-free four-step synthetic pathway has been developed for the synthesis of tetracyclic heterosteroidal compounds, 14-aza-12-oxasteroids, starting from readily available 2-naphthol analogues. After conversion of 2-naphthols to 2-naphthylamines by the Bucherer reaction, subsequent selective C-acetylation was achieved via the Sugasawa reaction and reduction of the acetyl group using borohydride, which resulted into the corresponding amino-alcohols. The naphthalene-based amino-alcohols underwent double dehydrations and double intramolecular cyclization with oxo-acids leading to one-pot formation of a C-N bond, a C-O bond and an amide bond in tandem, to generate two additional rings completing the steroidal framework.

An unprecedented synergistic copper- and amine-catalyzed cyclization of enynone is reported. This reaction features an efficient and straightforward construction of multisubstituted tetralone through an amine-assisted regioselective oxygen atom transfer process and stereoselective intramolecular Michael addition cyclization. Under dehydrative reaction conditions, the synthesis of tetrahydronaphthylimine derivatives with ketone group tolerance is achieved, which could be challenging via traditional methods.

Visible-Light-Induced Annulation of Benzothioamides with Sulfoxonium Ylides To Construct Thiazole Derivatives.

Org Lett

January 2025

Innovation Center for Chemical Sciences, College of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, Soochow University, 199 Ren-Ai Road, Suzhou Industrial Park, Suzhou, Jiangsu 215123, China.

Herein, visible-light-induced annulation of benzothioamides with sulfoxonium ylides to furnish thiazole derivatives is developed under transition-metal-, photocatalyst-, and oxidant-free conditions. This protocol exhibits good substrate scope, affording the desired products with satisfied yields in a mild and green manner. Detailed mechanistic studies suggest that the benzothioamide substrate plays a dual role in this reaction.

Article Synopsis
  • Ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) are reactive intermediates formed from clavatol that lead to pseudonatural products (PNPs) in fungi, which can have significant biological activities.
  • Genome mining identified a clavatol biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) in the Diaporthe sp. SYSU-MS4722 fungus, allowing for the heterologous expression of key genes in Aspergillus oryzae NSAR1, leading to the discovery of 13 new clavatol-based PNPs.
  • Structural analysis using various spectroscopic techniques confirmed the identities of these compounds, revealing several with notable anti-fibrotic activity.
