AbstractThe 2‐(prop‐2‐yn‐1‐yloxy)naphthalene (compound I) and 1‐nitro‐2‐(prop‐2‐yn‐1‐yloxy)benzene (compound II) were prepared in excellent yields by the reaction of propargyl bromide with 2‐naphthol and 2‐nitrophenol, respectively. Structural and conformational properties of both compounds have been analyzed using a combined approach including single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction and quantum chemical calculations. Two forms are found to be stable and nearly isoenergetic conformers, depending on the mutual orientation of the C≡C triple bond and the O–C single bond of the prop‐2‐yn‐1‐yloxy group. The gauche conformation is the most stable form for the vacuum isolated species, with the anti conformation higher in energy by 1.00 and 1.89 kcal/mol computed at the M06‐2X/6‐311++G(d,p) level of approximation, for I and II, respectively. The gauche form is observed in the crystal of I but the nearly planar anti conformation is adopted in the crystalline phase of compound II. The occurrence of C–H⋅⋅⋅π and C–H⋅⋅⋅O intermolecular interactions involving the acidic ‐C≡C–H hydrogen donor and ‐C≡C‐ and ‐OCH2– acceptors is discussed. Furthermore, vibrational features of the prop‐2‐yn‐1‐yloxy moiety are analyzed by infrared and Raman spectroscopy. The UV‐Vis spectrum shows the presence of well‐defined absorption at ca. 280 and 320 nm assigned to the π→π* transitions in the naphtyl/benzyl and prop‐2‐yn‐1‐yloxy groups, respectively.

Cardiovascular diseases are among the most threatening problems being faced by twenty-first century humans. The core cause of these diseases is high cholesterol level. Simvastatin (1: Synvinolin) is a well-known cholesterol-lowering drug marketed under the trade name Zocor®, which significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases related to hypercholesterolemia and is effective in lowering the total plasma cholesterol, low-density and very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. It also enhances the high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. This review article aims to provide an overview of several chemical and biological methods utilized for the production of simvastatin in high yields and purity. Many robust and scalable methods have been described using lovastatin (2: Mevinolin) as a starting material, produced by the fungal strain of Aspergelius terreus. Enzymatic synthesis of simvastatin is also highlighted in this review. In addition, detailed experimental conditions, as well as the compatibility for industrial-scale preparations of simvastatin are also discussed.

A contrapositionally substituted derivative of cyclohexa-meta-phenylene ([6]CMP) was synthesized by an intramolecular Yamamoto coupling reaction of an appropriate terphenyl unit containing a trimethylsilyl substituent. Iododesilylation of the trimethylsilyl groups of the product with iodine monochloride was used to incorporate iodo groups, an important functionality for metal-catalyzed coupling reactions. The iodo groups were also converted into a (pinacolato)boryl groups, another important functionality for coupling reactions. The diborylated [6]CMP is expected to be a versatile potential comonomer and a precursor for the synthesis of CMP-based materials. The synthetic route to the disubstituted [6]CMP included lithiation, Pd-catalyzed borylation, Suzuki coupling, and Yamamoto coupling. The structure of the product was established by NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry.

AbstractA zinc(II) triflate catalyzed reaction of β‐chloro aldimines with terminal alkynes leading to a rapid and efficient formation of 2‐alkynylazetidines in good to excellent yield has been described. The catalytic hydrogenation of the 2‐alkynylazetidines resulted in acyclic secondary amines by reductive cleavage of the 2‐alkynylazetidine. Further, these non‐activated 2‐alkynylazetidines were ring expanded in a reaction with dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate in the presence of zinc(II) triflate to give 4‐alkynyltetrahydropyridines. Catalytic reduction of these 4‐alkynyltetrahydropyridines led to an efficient conversion to 4‐alkyltetrahydropyridine carboxylates.magnified image

A ZnII‐catalyzed reaction between imines, which were derived from unactivated aldehydes or ketones and primary amines or α‐amino acid esters, and terminal alkynes has led to the rapid and efficient formation of tri‐ and tetrasubstituted propargylamines (from aldimines and ketimines, respectively) in good to excellent yields. No additives or extra Lewis acid reagents were required for the imine‐alkyne coupling reaction.

A series of novel N‐alkylcarbazol–propargylamine hybrids were designed and synthesized by CuIBr‐catalyzed A3‐coupling of N‐octylcarbazol‐3‐carbaldehyde, amines, and alkynes. The tri‐substituted propargyl amines decorated with carbazole moiety were obtained under solvent‐free conditions in good to moderate yields. Furthermore, the scope of the method was studied, which was found to be applicable to primary aliphatic and aromatic amines. Also, a large variety of substituents both on alkynes and anilines are well tolerated.

This work investigated the synthesis of biphenyl-3,3′,4,4′-tetracarboxylic dianhydride and benzophenone-3,3′,4,4′-tetracarboxylic dianhydride derivatives (3a–e and 6a–e) with different substituted phenols via Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction in the presence of dilute sulfuric acid. Dianhydride derivatives with 3-N,N′-dimethylamino phenol (3d and 6d) and resorcinol (3e and 6e) have been found to be highly fluorescent. The structures of all newly synthesized compounds were confirmed by the chromatographic, spectral and elemental data. Electrochemical study was done to determine to band gap energy, LUMO and HOMO levels energy. Band gap and LUMO energy levels were found to be lowest in xanthene derivatives substituted with 3-N,N′-dimethylamino group having value 2.24 and 4.85 eV respectively.

AbstractThe metal‐free reaction of terminal arylacetylenes with α,α‐dichloroaldimines in 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoro‐2‐propanol as the sole solvent results in the rapid and selective formation of γ,γ‐dichloro‐β‐amino ketones. In this solvent the expected dichlorinated propargylamines and/or allylic amines are not formed. The dichloromethylene moiety of the aldimine acts as an activating group and is essential to accomplish this transformation. Electron‐rich acetylenes lead to the best results and work well with all imines (with or without α′‐H at the nitrogen substituent), while electron‐deficient acetylenes only reacted with N‐tert‐butylaldimines (no α′‐H). The mechanistic pathway showed 1,1,1,3,3,3‐hexafluoro‐2‐propanol to protonate the aldimine, which in the rate‐determining step will react with the arylacetylene to form a resonance‐stabilized allene cation, which is trapped by a HFIP molecule giving rise to an enol ether, which promptly hydrolyzes to furnish exclusively the β‐amino ketones. Using DFT techniques we found that the first CC bond forming step is the rate‐determining step and is associated with a barrier of about 21 kcal mol−1.magnified image
