Unconventional application of the Mitsunobu reaction: Selective flavonolignan dehydration yielding hydnocarpins
نویسندگان
چکیده
Various Mitsunobu conditions were investigated for a series of flavonolignans (silybin A, silybin B, isosilybin A, and silychristin A) to achieve either selective esterification in position C-23 or dehydration in a one-pot reaction yielding the biologically important enantiomers of hydnocarpin D, hydnocarpin and isohydnocarpin, respectively. This represents the only one-pot semi-synthetic method to access these flavonolignans in high yields.

A regioselective high yielding monochloro substitution (chlorohydrin formation) via Mitsunobu reaction is reported. In carbohydrates and sterically hindered non-sugars, only the primary hydroxyl group is chlorinated, whereas in the non-sugar 1,2- and 1,3-alcohols, predominantly the secondary chloride substitution occurs. The versatile methodology provides indirect access to epoxides with the re...

H-ZSM-5 nano-zeolites were synthesized by hydrothermal method using tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) as a template in the presence of various TPABr concentrations. The effect of different TPABr/TPAOH molar ratios was studied on the catalytic performance of dehydration of methanol to dimethyl ether (DME) in a fixed bed reactor under the same operating conditions (T=300°C, P=1 atm, and WHSV=...
متن کاملMultipolymer solution-phase reactions: application to the Mitsunobu reaction.
The realization of the first polymer-on-polymer Mitsunobu reaction, in which a polymeric phosphine is used simultaneously with a polymeric azodicarboxylate, is reported. This strategy employs the use of soluble oligomers generated from ring-opening methathesis polymerization. 31P NMR analysis revealed that the two polymers were interacting to generate the Mitsunobu products. Application to seve...
