  • towards the core structure of strychnos alkaloids using Samarium Diiodide induced reactions of indole derivatives
    Chemistry: A European Journal, 2013
    Co-Authors: Steffen Gross, Christine Beemelmanns, Hans-ulrich Reissig
    Abstract:

    This report describes the development of a first and second generation approach towards the synthesis of the ABCEG pentacyclic core structure of Strychnos alkaloids. First, we discuss a sequential approach applying a series of functional group transformations to prepare suitable precursors for cyclization reactions. These include attempts of Samarium Diiodide-induced cyclizations or a Barbier-type reaction of a transient lithium organyl, which successfully led to a tetracyclic key building block earlier used for the synthesis of strychnine. Secondly, we account our first steps towards the development of an atom-economical Samarium Diiodide-induced cascade reaction using “dimeric” indolyl ketones as cyclization precursors. In this context, we discuss plausible mechanisms for the Samarium Diiodide-induced cascade reaction as well as transformations of the obtained tetracyclic dihydroindoline derivatives.

  • Samarium Diiodide induced ketyl het arene cyclisations towards novel n heterocycles
    Chemical Society Reviews, 2011
    Co-Authors: Christine Beemelmanns, Hans-ulrich Reissig
    Abstract:

    In this tutorial review we discuss recent advances in the field of ketyl-(het)arene cyclisations promoted by Samarium Diiodide and related processes. Couplings of Samarium ketyls with carbon–carbon multiple bonds are perhaps the most useful reactions to create carbocycles and heterocycles of various ring sizes. They have also successfully been exploited for the synthesis of biologically active compounds or natural products. In this article we intend to summarise our diversity orientated approaches towards nitrogen heterocycles and emphasize other approaches with SmI2 as well as electrochemical cyclisation methods providing similar N-heterocycles. We also briefly discuss our recently published formal total synthesis of strychnine employing a new Samarium Diiodide induced cascade reaction as key step. All these examples demonstrate the high synthetic potential of Samarium ketyl-(het)arene cyclisations for the preparation of various types of important heterocyclic compounds.

  • New Samarium Diiodide-induced cyclizations
    Pure and Applied Chemistry, 2011
    Co-Authors: Christine Beemelmanns, Hans-ulrich Reissig
    Abstract:

    Samarium Diiodide (SmI 2 ) smoothly promotes the cyclizations of suitably substi- tuted carbonyl compounds with styrene subunits leading to benzannulated cyclooctenes. The intramolecular Samarium ketyl addition to arene or hetarene moieties enables a new, efficient, and highly stereoselective entry to dearomatized products such as hexahydronaphthalenes, steroid-like tetra- or pentacyclic compounds, or dihydroindole derivatives. The usefulness of the developed SmI 2 -induced cyclization method was demonstrated by the shortest formal total synthesis of the alkaloid strychnine.

  • Medium-sized carbocycles by Samarium Diiodide-induced carbonyl-alkene cyclizations.
    Organic letters, 2009
    Co-Authors: Jakub Saadi, Dieter Lentz, Hans-ulrich Reissig
    Abstract:

    Intramolecular Samarium Diiodide-induced carbonyl−alkene or carbonyl−alkyne coupling reactions afforded without high dilution conditions 9- and 10-membered benzannulated carbocycles of type II and III in surprisingly good yields and stereoselectivities. A novel Samarium Diiodide-mediated cascade process leading to tricyclic compounds of type IV was also observed. Bisbenzannulated 10- and 11-membered carbocycles were prepared in very good yields.

  • Samarium Diiodide-induced couplings of carbonyl compounds with methoxyallene leading to 4-hydroxy 1-enol ethers.
    Organic letters, 2003
    Co-Authors: Alexandra Hölemann, Hans-ulrich Reissig
    Abstract:

    A surprising Samarium Diiodide-induced coupling reaction of carbonyl compounds with methoxyallene provided 4-hydroxy 1-enol ethers, which are versatile synthetic building blocks. In this coupling reaction, methoxyallene serves as an acrolein equivalent, which cannot directly be employed.

  • Facile deoxygenation of dicarbonyl compounds using a Samarium Diiodide-additive system.
    Chemical & pharmaceutical bulletin, 2005
    Co-Authors: Yasuko Kamochi, Tadahiro Kudo, Toshinobu Masuda, Akira Takadate
    Abstract:

    The reduction of α- and β-dicarbonyl compounds was investigated with Samarium Diiodide in the presence of additive. Diketones and ketocarboxylic acids were easily reduced at room temperature to give the mono-alcohols in good to excellent yield, and ketoester afforded the saturated ester as the major product in moderate yield. These reductions containing the reductive deoxygenation can be rapidly performed under the facile and mild conditions by this method.

  • Rapid reduction of a variety of organic functionalities including a new selective reduction with Samarium Diiodide
    Yakugaku zasshi : Journal of the Pharmaceutical Society of Japan, 2000
    Co-Authors: Yasuko Kamochi, Tadahiro Kudo
    Abstract:

    This review deals with the rapid reduction of a variety of organic functionalities, including a new selective reduction of carboxylic acid, with Samarium Diiodide in the presence of additives under mild conditions. The single electron donor ability of Samarium Diiodide can be enhanced with ligands around Sm2+ when sufficient electrons are supplied from the ligands. Mechanistic consideration of this enhancement led to our finding that carboxylic acid, ester, amide, nitrile, pyridine and other functionalities were rapidly reduced with Samarium Diiodide in the presence of a base, acid, water and methanol as ligands at room temperature in good yields. Particularly, these systems directly reduced carboxylic acid into alcohol and a Samarium Diiodide--85% phosphoric acid system immediately reduced an aromatic primary amide to aldehyde in good yield. Pyridines were reduced to piperidines with a Samarium Diiodide-base or water system in excellent yields; also, the aromatic nucleus of phenol derivatives was rapidly reduced with a Samarium Diiodide-base system. Furthermore, these organic functionalities were rapidly reduced with an Sm or Yb metal-hydrochloric acid system. Aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids with a coexisting aldehyde or that bearing a formyl group were selectively reduced to the corresponding alcohols with a new Samarium Diiodide-Samarium triflate-methanol-base or water system within a few minutes at room temperature in good to almost quantitative yield.

  • Novel and facile reduction of phenol derivatives with Samarium Diiodide-base system
    Tetrahedron Letters, 1994
    Co-Authors: Yasuko Kamochi, Tadahiro Kudo
    Abstract:

    Abstract Phenol was rapidly reduced with Samarium Diiodide-base system in the presence of protic solvent at room temperature to afford 3-cyclohexen-1-ol accompanied by cyclohexanol. The similar reduction of 4-methoxyphenol and 2-naphthol gave 4-hydroxycyclohexanone and 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-2-naphthol in excellent yield, respectively.

  • The novel reduction of pyridine derivatives with Samarium Diiodide
    HETEROCYCLES, 1993
    Co-Authors: Yasuko Kamochi, Tadahiro Kudo
    Abstract:

    Pyridine was rapidly reduced into piperidine with Samarium Diiodide in the presence of water at room temperature in excellent yield. On the similar reactions of pyridine derivatives bearing chloro, amino and cyano functionalities with Samarium Diiodide−H 2 O−THF system, these functionalities were partly eliminated with this system to afford pyridine or piperidine. Furthermore, pyridinecarboxamides were reduced with this system to give the corresponding methylpyridines and 2-pyridinecarboxylic acid was reduced to give 2-methylpyridine as the major products

  • Reductions of carboxylic acids and their derivatives using Samarium Diiodide-acid system
    Tetrahedron, 1992
    Co-Authors: Yasuko Kamochi, Tadahiro Kudo
    Abstract:

    Abstract Carboxylic acid was converted to alcohol in a facile-rapid reduction using Samarium Diiodide in protic solvent under a basic or acidic medium at room temperature in high yield. A similar reaction of ester and anhydride reduced to the corresponding alcohol as the major products and nitrile afforded amine. Amide was rapidly reduced under a basic medium to afford alcohol, but the reduction with Samarium Diiodide-acid system of amide gave aldehyde in quantitative yield.
