  • Synthesis of (±)-trans-7,8-Dihydrodiol of 6-Fluoro-benzo[a]pyrene via Hydroxyl-Directed Regioselective Functionalization of Substituted Pyrene
    The Journal of organic chemistry, 1999
    Co-Authors: Barbara Zajc
    Abstract:

    Synthesis of (±)-trans-7,8-dihydroxy-6-fluoro-7,8-dihydrobenzo[a]pyrene, the metabolite from 6-fluoro-benzo[a]pyrene, is described. Position 6 of 7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyren-7-ol (1) was functionalized by bromination with N-bromosaccharin. Regioselectivity in the bromination is thought to derive from a substrate−reagent hydrogen bond. NMR evidence is offered to support this model. The 6-bromo derivative 2 was subjected to dehydration followed by bromine−lithium exchange. Quenching the lithio intermediate with NFSi afforded the 6-fluoro derivative 4. Prevost Reaction on the 7,8 double bond resulted in the trans dibenzoate 5 (established by comparison to a cis derivative prepared by osmium tetroxide cis dihydroxylation). Introduction of the 9,10 double bond by a bromination−dehydrobromination procedure, followed by hydrolysis, gave racemic trans-7,8-dihydrodiol 7. Resolution of the enantiomers was achieved by chiral HPLC, and the absolute configurations of the early and late eluting isomers were determ...

  • α-Rhamnosidase inhibitory activities of polyhydroxylated pyrrolidine
    Bioorganic & medicinal chemistry letters, 2005
    Co-Authors: Jin Hyo Kim, Marcus J. Curtis-long, Woo Duck Seo, Jin Hwan Lee, Byong Won Lee, Yong‐jin Yoon, Kyu Young Kang, Ki Hun Park
    Abstract:

    Abstract We designed and synthesized polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines 1 – 12 from l -tyrosine, l -phenylalanine, and d -tyrosine through iodine-mediated intramolecular cyclization followed by Woodward–Prevost Reaction. The synthetic polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines were identified with structure-based inhibitory activity and selective inhibitory activity against α-rhamnosidase. (2 S ,3 S ,4 R )-deacetyl anisomycin 7 was the best inhibitor among the 12 polyhydroxylated pyrrolidines because it possesses the same stereoconfiguration at C1, C2, C3 as α- l -rhamnopyranoside. An investigation into the nature of the inhibition showed that the synthetic pyrrolidines are competitive inhibitors. They also did not have remarkable inhibitory activity against seven glycosidases (α-glucosidase, α-mannosidase, α-amylase, β-glucosidase, β-galactosidase, β-amylase, and invertase).

  • Stereodivergent and Regioselective Synthesis of 3,4-cis- and 3,4-trans-Pyrrolidinediols from α-Amino Acids
    Organic letters, 2004
    Co-Authors: Jin Hyo Kim, Marcus J. C. Long, Jun Young Kim, Ki Hun Park
    Abstract:

    Highly stereodivergent Woodward−Prevost Reaction applied to iodoacetates derived from homochiral α-amino acids afforded enantiopure 3,4-cis- and 3,4-trans-pyrrolidinediol derivatives, with control over the protecting group, allowing for differential protection.

  • A New Synthesis of cis-Diol from Alkene Using Iodine-Ammonium Cerium(IV) Nitrate
    Synthesis, 2005
    Co-Authors: C. Akira Horiuchi, Gong Dan, Masaki Sakamoto, Kazuhiko Suda, Shigeru Usui, Okihiko Sakamoto, Shinya Kitoh, Satoshi Watanabe, Takamitsu Utsukihara, Sukekatsu Nozaki
    Abstract:

    The Reaction mixtures of 5a-cholest-2-ene with iodine-ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate [CAN(IV)] were converted with potassium hydroxide in methanol-water to give the more hindered 2p,3p-diol in high yield. Cyclohexene and cycloheptene similarly reacted to the corresponding cis-diols in good yield. It was found that this Reaction intermediate proceeds to give trans-iodoacetate via trans-iodonitrate. This new synthetic method provided several advantages over the Prevost Reaction.
