Synthetic studies of kinamycin antibiotics: Stereoselective synthesis of the highly oxygenated D-ring and construction of the ABD-ring system of kinamycins

, p. 6181 - 6189 (2013)
A concise and stereoselective synthesis of the highly oxygenated D-ring of the kinamycin family of antitumor antibiotics was achieved from commercially available 3-methyl-2-cyclohexen-1-one. The key steps included a regioselective isomerization of a cis-epoxy alcohol, a regioselective reductive ring opening of a benzylidene ketal, and a stereoselective α-hydroxy-directed ketone reduction. The Ullmann coupling between a bromonaphthaldehyde AB-ring fragment and an α-iodocyclohexenone, which is a versatile D-ring precursor, effected the construction of the functionalized ABD-ring system that may provide access to kinamycin F and its structural analogues. A concise and stereoselective synthesis of the highly oxygenated D-ring of the kinamycins was achieved from commercially available 3-methyl-2-cyclohexenone. Also, a metal-catalyzed coupling reaction between an AB-ring fragment and a D-ring precursor enabled the construction of the functionalized ABD-ring system that may provide entry to synthesis of the kinamycins.
Ruthenium-p-cymene Complex Side-Wall Covalently Bonded to Carbon Nanotubes as Efficient Hybrid Transfer Hydrogenation Catalyst

A half-sandwich ruthenium-p-cymene organometallic complex has been immobilized at Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes (SWNT) sidewalls through a stepwise covalent chemistry protocol. The introduction of amino groups by means of diazonium-chemistry protocols leads the grafting at the outer walls of the nanotubes. This hybrid material is active in the transfer hydrogenation of ketones to yield alcohols, using as hydrogen source 2-propanol. SWNT?NH2?Ru presents a broad scope, performing the reaction under aerobic conditions and can be recycled over 9 consecutive reaction runs without losing activity or leaching ruthenium out. Comparison of the activity with related homogeneous catalysts reveals an improved performance due to the covalent bond between the metal and the material, achieving turnover frequencies as high as 192774 h?1.
Straightforward chemo- and stereoselective fluorocyclopropanation of allylic alcohols: Exploiting the electrophilic nature of the not so elusive fluoroiodomethyllithium

An unprecedented direct fluorocyclopropanation of allylic alcohols is reported. This simple method involves the not so elusive fluoroiodomethyllithium, a carbenoidic intermediate that under the developed conditions discloses its electrophilic nature. Gratifyingly, the reaction turned out to be highly chemo- and stereoselective, and DFT calculations provided insights into the structure and nature of this new type of carbenoid.
