Book excerpt: Natural product synthesis is one of the most creative branch of chemistry in terms of its boundless scope for innovation and has stimulated several generations of synthetic organic chemists. With advancement in the technology, particularly in the isolation and purification techniques, high-field NMR and X-ray crystallography, it has become fairly routine to isolate and assign the structures, high-field NMR and X-ray crystallography, it has become fairly routine to isolate and assign the structures, even to those complex molecules, which are available only in microscopic quantities from natural sources. Concurrently, one has witnessed tremendous advances in the availability of new synthetic methodologies with high region-, stereo-, and enantiocontrol for one or multiple C-C bond formations and rapid generation of molecular complexity. These developments have rekindled interest with total synthesis of natural products as platforms for testing and validating new reactions and strategies. Many natural products exhibit wide range of biological activities and thus provide good leads in drug discovery but quite often such bioactive compounds are obtained only in minute quantities from Nature. Hence, there is need to synthesize them to obtain requisite quantities and build diversity around their scaffold to further explore their therapeutic potential. Thus, natural product synthesis combines both intellectual challenge and possible application for human wellbeing. Our research group is actively engaged in the synthesis of structurally complex, bioactive natural products and as a part of this endeavour, total syntheses of several bioactive compounds have been accomplished in our laboratory in recent past. The present thesis has also evolved around the ongoing theme directed towards natural product synthesis and is organized under three chapters. Chapter I: Total synthesis of (+)-1S-Minwanenone Chapter II: Enantioselective total synthesis of the bioactive natural product (+)-

Book excerpt: Total synthesis of natural products with diverse architecture and varying degree of complexity is an area that has not only inspired and attracted several generations of organic chemists but also continues to enrich and refresh the foundations of organic chemistry itself, by offering new ideas and directions. Synthetic organic chemistry is perhaps the most formative and expressive enterprise of science in terms of its creative power and unlimited scope. Its impact on present day life and prosperity gets manifested when we see this science as the bedrock behind the production of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fertilizers, nutritional products, high tech materials, polymers, cosmetics, plastics and clothing. Science of synthesis is also going to play an important role in the evolution of future societies based on the principles of the sustainable development. Being a precise science and a fine art, the endeavor of total synthesis is in a constant state of effervescence. Most significantly, the discipline is being continually challenged by new structures unraveled from the Nature bosom. The practice of total synthesis is being enriched constantly by new tools such as new reagents and catalysts as well as by analytical techniques. In fact, there has been a dramatic advancement in the recent past in the development of new synthetic protocols with high regio-, streo-, and enantiocontrol, which makes it possible to target natural product of any complexity. The demand for enantiomerically pure drugs, agrochemicals and food additives is growing, since pure enantiomers are often more target-specific and have fewer side effects than the recemic mixtures. As a result, synthesis of natural products in an enantioselective manner has been receiving increasing attention from synthetic chemists in recent years. Nature synthesizes a vast array of novel molecular structures in enantioselective fashion through several well-established biosynthetic pathways utilizing a few key building.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I. Total Synthesis of the (-)-Agelastatin Alkaloids The pyrrole-imidazole family of marine alkaloids, derived from linear clathrodin-like precursors, constitutes a diverse array of structurally complex natural products. The bioactive agelastatins are members of this family that possess a tetracyclic molecular framework incorporating C4-C8 and C7-N12 bond connectivities. We provide a hypothesis for the formation of the unique agelastatin architecture that maximally exploits the intrinsic chemistry of plausible biosynthetic precursors. We report the concise enantioselective total syntheses of all known agelastatin alkaloids including the first total syntheses of agelastatins C, D, E, and F. Our gram-scale chemical synthesis of agelastatin A was inspired by our hypothesis for the biogenesis of the cyclopentane C-ring and required the development of new transformations including an imidazolone-forming annulation reaction and a carbohydroxylative trapping of imidazolones. II. Total Synthesis of the (-)-Trigonoliimine Alkaloids The concise and enantioselective total syntheses of (-)-trigonoliimines A, B, and C are described. Our unified strategy to all three natural products is based on asymmetric oxidation and reorganization of a single bistryptamine, a sequence of transformations with possible biogenetic relevance. We revise the absolute stereochemistry of (-)-trigonoliimines A, B, and C.

Download or read book Non Conventional Synthesis written by György Keglevich and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-11-06 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Non-conventional synthetic methods may provide new and green methods for the preparation of bioactive heterocycles. These methods, such as microwave and ultrasound assisted synthesis, biocatalysis, photochemistry and electrosynthesis use less energy and may produce less waste to get the desired products when compared to traditional methods. This book explores the use of these methods when synthesizing various biologically relevant heterocyclic scaffolds. THE SERIES: GREEN BIOACTIVE HETEROCYCLES Heterocycles are a widely utilized group of molecules as they often contain bioactivity that is useful in drug development, agriculture, and other applications. However, their synthesis remains challenging with diffi cult to control functional groups. With a greater focus on sustainable synthesis practices, there is a need to develop greener synthetic methods for the synthesis of structurally diverse bioactive heterocyclic scaffolds. This series aims to do so, by collecting developments into common themes.

This book was released on 2018-03-02 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade a new era in asymmetric catalysis has been realised by the discovery of L-proline induced chiral enamines from carbonyls. Inspired by this, researchers have developed many other primary catalytic species in situ, more recently secondary catalytic species such as aminals have been identified for use in asymmetric synthesis. High-yielding asymmetric synthesis of bioactive and natural products through mild catalysis is an efficient approach in reaction engineering. In the early days, synthetic chemists mainly focused on the synthesis of complex molecules, with less attention on the reaction efficiency and eco-friendly conditions. Recent investigations have been directed towards the development of atom economy, eco-friendly and enantioselective synthesis for more targeted and efficient synthesis. Building on the momentum of this rapidly expanding research area, Dienamine Catalysis for Organic Synthesis will provide a comprehensive introduction, from the preformed species, in situ generation and onto their applications in the synthesis of bioactive molecules and natural products.

This book was released on 2016-10-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis addresses two fundamental areas in contemporary organic chemistry: synthesis of natural products and catalytic asymmetric synthesis. Firstly, a new methodology, developed by our research group, which allows the asymmetric synthesis of lactones, a structural unit ubiquitous in natural products, was utilised in the synthesis of a number of natural product analogues that showed significant biological activity. Secondly, the development of a catalytic asymmetric synthesis of a key structural motif present in a number of natural products and pharmaceuticals was accomplished. During the course of this work we discovered dual stereo control, which is significant because it allows the configuration of a new stereo centre to be controlled by a simple change of proton source.
