Published: May 2012

Tetrasaccharide cap present in lipophosphoglycan of the Leishmania donovani responsible for visceral Leishmaniaisis is synthesized as a fully protected propargyl glycoside. AuBr(3) mediated selective glycosylation of propargyl 1,2-orthoester in the presence of propargyl glycoside is employed as a key step to obtain propargyl containing oligomers. Further, propargyl tetrasaccharide is connected with a long chain hydrocarbon containing azidothiol functionality situated at two terminal ends via 'click' reaction.

A series of gold(III) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes [1-(R(1))-3-(R(2))imidazol-2-ylidene]AuBr(3) [R(1) = i-Pr, R(2) = CH(2)Ph (1c); R(1) = mesityl, R(2) = CH(2)Ph (2c); R(1) = i-Pr, R(2) = CH(2)COt-Bu (3c), and R(1) = t-Bu, R(2) = CH(2)COt-Bu (4c)] act as effective precatalysts in the synthesis of β-enaminones from 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and primary amines under ambient conditions. Specifically the 1c-4c complexes efficiently catalyzed the condensation of a variety of cyclic as well as acyclic 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, namely, acetyl acetone, benzoylacetone, 2-acetylcyclopentanone, and ethyl-2-oxocyclopentanecarboxylate with primary aliphatic amines, viz., methylamine, ethylamine, n-propylamine, i-propylamine, and n-butylamine, yielding β-enamines at room temperature.

Regioselective synthesis of 3-benzazepinones and unexpected 5-bromo-3-benzazepinones.

A regioselective hydroamidation of 2-(1-alkynyl)phenylacetamides with Au(PPh(3))Cl/AgSbF(6) as the catalyst proceeded by a 7-endo-dig pathway to afford 3-benzazepinones. This method accommodates a broad range of alkyl and aryl alkynyl substitutes in moderate to high yields (63-91%). Moreover, unexpectedly, we also discovered a gold-mediated transformation from 2-(1-alkynyl)phenylacetamides to 5-bromo-3-benzazepinones, and AuBr(3) was found to not only play an activation role but also act as a reactant in the reaction for the first time.

Article Synopsis
  • Scientists looked at how to activate a special chemical group called propargyloxy in a type of molecule called 1,2-orthoesters.
  • They used a tiny bit of a substance called AuBr3 to help create new sugar molecules called disaccharides with a propargyl group at one end.
  • Also, another type of molecule called propargyl ethers did not change during this process.
