Enantiomerically-enriched trichloromethyl-containing alcohols, obtained by asymmetric reduction, can be transformed regioselectively into 1-substituted piperazinones by modified Jocic reactions with little or no loss of stereochemical integrity. This methodology can be easily used to synthesise important pharmaceutical compounds such as the fluorobenzyl intermediate of a known PGGTase-I inhibitor.

In this study, we herein report the design, synthesis, and anticancer assessment of a series of new 4-substituted 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobenzo[4,5]thieno[2,3-d]pyrimidines. The synthesis involved key intermediates such as the 2-aminoester derivative, which underwent a series of reactions to produce compounds 7a-7t. The optimized SAr reactions, utilizing microwave irradiation in DMF, led to high yields and efficient preparation of the desired compounds.

Article Synopsis
  • A new method for creating enantiomerically enriched (S)-α-aminopropionic acid derivatives was developed using a reaction called Cu(I) catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition, which combines azides with alkynes.
  • The process started with a specific nickel complex and involved several key chemical components, including Schiff bases and phenyl azides.
  • The absolute configuration and purity of the resulting amino acids were confirmed through advanced techniques like circular dichroism and chiral HPLC analysis, leading to the successful synthesis of seven new non-proteinogenic (S)-α-amino acids.

Within this study, we report a simple two-step process for the synthesis of perfluoroalkylated pyrazoles from aliphatic aldehydes. In the photocatalytic first step, the aldehydes are transformed into the corresponding perfluoroalkylated enals, which then undergo nucleophilic attack by hydrazine and subsequent ring closure, providing the fluorinated 3,4-substituted pyrazole products in a 64-84% yield. Using triphenylphosphine and imidazolidinone as organocatalysts, the method is operationally simple and omits heavy metal-containing waste.
