The reaction scope of these silacycles was extended to a practical

method for the enantioselective synthesis of tertiary carbinamines

based on the addition of this chiral allylsilane reagent to a

structurally diverse array of ketone-derived benzoylhydrazones

(Scheme 3).4 While many methods for the synthesis of quaternary

α-amino acids have been published, far fewer reports have dealt

with the synthesis of tertiary carbinamines.

Leighton’s Chiral Allylation

Reagents

The asymmetric allylation of carbonyl

compounds remains one of the most important and fundamental

addition reactions for the synthesis of optically active chiral

building blocks homoallylic alcohols.

In 2002, Leighton and co-workers developed strained silacycle

compounds as versatile reagents for the practical enantioselective

allylation of aldehydes.1

A newly developed chiral auxiliary based on the cyclohexane-1,2-

diamine scaff old successfully allylated a broad range of aldehydes

highly enantioselectively (Scheme 1).2

Asymmetric Epoxidation Using Shi Catalyst

Catalytic asymmetric epoxidation of alkenes has been the focus

of many research eff orts over the past two decades, the best

known methods probably being those developed by Sharpless1

and Jacobsen-Katsuki.2 Shi has also developed a very effi cient

method for asymmetric epoxidation, using a ketone-derived

organocatalyst based on D-fructose (F0127).3 This organocatalyst

is able to epoxidize trans alkenes and certain cis alkenes with good

to excellent yields and selectivities. More recently, Shi has achieved

excellent results using hydrogen peroxide as an oxidant instead

of OXONE® (228036), which allows a signifi cant reduction in the

amount of additional salts introduced and solvent used in the

reaction (Scheme 4).4

Other groups have used Shi’s methodology in pursuit of a

number of unique structural moieties. For example, McDonald

and co-workers recently reported a robust and selective synthesis

of 2-amino-3,5-diols that employs the Shi epoxidation in a

key step (Scheme 5).5 These 2-amino-3,5-diols are 1-deoxy-

5-hydroxysphingosine analogues, which show promise as

anticancer agents.

Scheme 5: Selective route to sphingosine derivatives using Shi’s epoxidation

organocatalyst

A recent example of the use of the Shi catalyst is the synthesis

of chiral thiosulfonate derivatives. Chiral sulfi nyl derivatives

have been of interest for the past three decades.6 This interest

stemmed from the use of these molecules as chiral controllers in

asymmetric synthesis, as chiral ligands and as Lewis bases. Khiar

et al. reported a new method to synthesize enantiomerically pure,

functionalized, sterically demanding thiosulfonates.7 Investigating

several catalysts for the oxidation of disulfi des, diesters and

diethers, Khiar et al. determined that a particular chiral pyranone

derived from D-glucose, the Shi catalyst, yielded the best yields

and stereoselectivities. Using the Shi catalyst in combination with

oxone in acetonitrile and dimethoxymethane, the authors reported

up to 89% yield and up to 96% ee for the oxidation of disulfi des

(Scheme 6).

Palladium(II) Acetate,

Recrystallized

It has been demonstrated that in some

applications recrystallized palladium(II) acetate (Pd(OAc)2) performs

better than typical grades. White and Overman have both

independently demonstrated that in some applications a particular

grade of Pd(OAc)2 is necessary. In particular, the preparation of the

White catalyst as well as the preparation of the COP catalysts, [COP-

OAc]2 and [COP-Cl]2, by Overman successfully employ and require

recrystallized Pd(OAc)2.

Cationic Palladium Complex, [Pd(dppp)

(PhCN)2](BF4)2

Cationic palladium(II) complexes are utilized in a variety of

reactions. [Pd(dppp)(PhCN)2](BF4)2 (696617) was shown to catalyze

the hetero Diels-Alder reaction of dienes with aldehydes. The

reaction yields substituted 5,6-dihydro-2H-pyrans without the use

of Lewis acids (Scheme 1). The reaction is believed to proceed

through a stepwise mechanism.

Air-Stable Precatalysts for Amination

C–N bond forming cross-couplings typically require a palladium

source along with the associated ligands. Most Pd(0) sources are

not air-stable, while the commonly employed air-stable Pd(0)

source, Pd2(dba)3 contains associated ligands which could impede

the reaction. Stable Pd(II) precursors require reduction under the

reaction conditions. In either case, a ligand must be added to

the reaction in order to lead to the active Pd-species. Buchwald

and coworkers recently reported the use of highly-active yet

air- and moisture-stable precatalysts, which, under the standard

reaction conditions, form the active monoligated Pd-species. These

precatalysts (704954, 704946, 707589, 708739) are exceptionally

effi cient even under challenging conditions, such as coupling

electron-poor anilines with deactivated aryl chlorides. The catalyst

precursors also off er other advantages including low catalyst

loadings and short reaction times.

N-Arylation of Aryl Mesylates and

Monoarylation of Primary Amines

Using BrettPhos

Buchwald and coworkers recently reported the use of a

catalyst system comprised of the highly effi cient ligand

2-(Dicyclohexylphosphino)3,6-dimethoxy-2′,4′,6′-triisopropyl-

1,1′-biphenyl (718742) (BrettPhos) and a palladium precatalyst

(also containing the BrettPhos moiety) for the N-arylation of

aryl mesylates with aryl amines (Scheme 4). Aryl mesylates

constitute an important class of organic electrophiles due to

their reasonable atom economy, cheap cost, and high stability.

In addition, BrettPhos was found to be an eff ective ligand in

the unprecedented monoarylation of primary amines with aryl

chlorides at exceptionally low loadings (Scheme 5).

Non-Proprietary Catalysts for

Cross-Coupling

The cross-coupling reaction of heteroaryl halides is of particular

interest to the pharmaceutical industry since many biologically

active compounds are accessed through use of the Suzuki-Miyaura

reaction. However, the effi cient coupling of fi ve-membered

heteroaryl halides or six-membered heteroaryl chlorides bearing

heteroatom substituents with boronic acids has not been well-

developed. Catalysts are thought to form inactive complexes with

many of these types of substrates, and thus, they typically require

high catalyst loadings in order to achieve good yields. The Guram

group at Amgen has recently communicated the development of

an air-stable palladium complex, (AtaPhos)2PdCl2, for Suzuki-Miyaura

cross-coupling reactions. The catalyst was very eff ective at coupling

a wide range of substrates with arylboronic acids, including amino-

substituted 2-chloropyridines and fi ve-membered heteroaryl

halides. The products are observed in excellent yields and high

turnover numbers (up to 10,000 TON) are typically achieved. A

series of new PdCl2{PR2(Ph-R’)}2 catalysts were developed with

various reactivities.

New Polyethylene Glycol

Building Blocks for

PEGylation

Circulatory half-life is a key success

factor for new drugs. In this respect, modifi cation of potential

candidates ranging from non-peptidic small molecules to peptides

and proteins, antibody fragments, aptamers, and saccharides or

oligonucleotides with polyethylene glycol chains (commonly

referred to as PEGylation or PEG-ing) off ers numerous advantages.

PEGylation is considered one of the most successful techniques

to enhance the therapeutic and biotechnological potential of

peptides and proteins.1 PEGs are non-toxic, non-immunogenic,

non-antigenic, highly soluble in water, and FDA approved.2 The

PEGylated conjugates show a decreased degradation by metabolic

enzymes and a reduction or elimination of protein immunogenicity

as the PEG coating prevents the approach or recognition by

proteolytic enzymes and antibodies. (Scheme 1) Furthermore,

PEGylation may favorably alter drug distribution in the organism.3

While PEGylation may improve the pharmacokinetic properties of a

drug, the drug’s main activity is predominantly preserved.4

Since the fi rst therapeutic PEG-protein conjugate (PEG-adenosine

deaminase) had been approved by the FDA in 1990, a large

number of new PEGylated drugs was introduced to the market

acylation. Alkylation maintains a positively charged amine,

whereas acylation yields a neutral amide linkage. Acylation

can be realized most conveniently with N-hydroxysuccinimide

(NHS) activated carboxylated PEGs. Azide functionalized PEGs

allow the application of Staudinger ligation and Huisgen dipolar

cycloaddition techniques. The introduction of diff erent protecting

groups leads to extremely useful macromolecular cross-linking

agents and spacers. All common target moieties can be specifi cally

addressed with the appropriate functionalized PEG linker. Please

Reagents for

Stille Coupling

Stille reactions remain one of the most

viable methods for the formation of C–C bonds in organic

chemistry. Their use has been highlighted in various areas,

including countless elegant natural product syntheses, material

science, and in synthetic methodology. The use of 1-Methyl-5-

(tributylstannyl)imidazole (718793) by process chemists at Pfi zer

in a Stille reaction was reported in 2003. The coupling employed

iodothienopyridine as the electrophile in the presence of Pd(PPh3)4

as the catalyst. Addition-elimination on the resulting functionalized

thienopyridine provided bulk material of the desired VEGFR kinase

inhibitor. It is worth noting that of several cross-couplings which

were examined, the Stille coupling was the only reaction feasible

on scales >50 g.

New Method for Stannylation

of Cyclopropenes

Due to the wide utility of the cyclopropene ring, methods

for the synthesis of highly substituted cyclopropenes are of

broad interest to the scientifi c community. Methods to prepare

functionalized cyclopropenes currently include preparation of

the cyclopropenyllithium species and subsequent treatment with

a trialkyltin chloride, which is then followed by a Stille coupling.

However, the obvious limitation to this method is that the

cyclopropene ring cannot possess base-sensitive functionalities,

which can promote side reactions such as ring opening and

formation of stabilized anions. Recently, Lam and coworkers

developed a method employing Bu3SnCF2CF3 (711063), which in

the presence of stoichiometric KF, allowed for the mild stannylation

of otherwise sensitive functionalized cyclopropenes (Scheme 2).

These building blocks were further elaborated in a Stille reaction

to provide highly functionalized tetrasubstituted cyclopropenes

(Scheme 3). A protocol was developed by which the stannylation

and Stille coupling were conducted in one-pot, further facilitating

access to these useful building blocks.

Method for Introducing Sulfur Linkages

Matzger and co-workers developed a useful method for

the introduction of sulfur linkages using Bu3SnSSnBu3 in the

preparation of oligothienoacenes. Historically, the preparation

of these molecules has been limited and not feasible for

longer chain thienoacenes. The low solubility and problematic

isolation both contribute to the challenges associated with

preparing oligothienoacenes. The synthesis of these molecules

in the Matzger lab begins with the introduction of the TIPS

group through Li-Br exchange of the precursor dibromide and

addition of TIPS-Cl. The bromine at the 2-position was treated

with LDA to provide the 3-bromo-substitued isomer. The use

of Bu3SnSSnBu3 in a Pd-catalyzed coupling with 2 equivalents

of the 3-bromo-substituted precursor provided the thio-linked

thienoacene. Incorporating the sulfur linkage typically involves

metalation followed by reaction with bis(phenylsulfonyl)sulfi de,

which often leads to linking at the two- and three-position rather

than the 3,3-position. Oxidative ring closure and deprotection

yields the fi nal oligothienoacene (Scheme 4). The TIPS groups

are strategically placed to avoid competing deprotonation at the

2-position when conducting the oxidative ring closure.

New Trifluoroborates from Aldrich

Organotrifluoroborates as Coupling

Partners in Suzuki-Miyaura Reactions

Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions are some of the most

common methods for the formation of C–C bonds in organic

chemistry. The use of some boronic acids is complicated by their

instability and their propensity for trimerization. The advent of

boronic acid surrogates such as trifl uoroborates has transformed

the fi eld, allowing for shelf-storage and usability of otherwise

unstable boronic acids. Trifl uoroborates exhibit excellent

functional group tolerance and stability towards common

reagents, which has also lead to their widespread use. Our

platform of trifl uoroborate salts is continually growing, with new

product introductions occurring regularly. Some of our recent

additions are listed below.

Thiazoles can also serve as a protected formyl group that can be

liberated in the late stages of a complex natural product synthesis.5

While thiazoles are prevalent in a wide range of bioactive natural

products, the imidazole ring occurs largely in the context of the

natural amino acid histidine. In addition, the imidazole ring has

appeared as a component of unnatural cyclic peptides,6 and used

as an ester isostere in peptidomimetic studies.7 However, the

applications of imidazole are not limited to the realm of peptides

and peptidomimetics. They are present in the large family of

bromopyrrole-imidazole alkaloids isolated from marine sponges

based on the common metabolite oroidin (Figure 3) that feature

signifi cant biological activities.1 The imidazole ring is also present in

the pilocarpine alkaloids, as well as potential therapuetic agents for

thrombosis, cancer, and infl ammatory diseases.8

Thiazoles and Imidazoles

Thiazoles and imidazoles have been

frequently discovered as a vital

component of novel and structurally

diverse natural products that exhibit

a wide variety of biological activities. The exceptional range

of antitumor, antiviral, and antibiotic activities, as well as their

presence in peptides, or ability to bind to proteins, DNA, and RNA,

has directed numerous synthetic studies and new applications of

these azole heterocycles.

The thiazole ring has been identifi ed as a central feature of myriad

natural products, perhaps the best known being the epothilones

(Figure 1). These are antitumor agents that display improved

potency against Taxol-resistant tumor cell lines, and variants of

epothilone B in particular have been pursued by several major

pharmaceutical companies.1

Additionally, thiazoles are frequently cropping up in peptide

research. For example, the pseudopeptide dolastatin 10 (Figure 2)

is an exceptionally potent antineoplastic agent,2 and other

thiazole-containing marine cyclic peptides have demonstrated

signifi cant cytotoxicity.3 A recent report demonstrates the use

of ethyl 2-methylthiazole-4-carboxaldehyde (716308) as a

starting material to the pyridine-thiazole structure 1 (Scheme 1),

New Iodinated Building Blocks

Iodine-containing substrates are valuable building blocks for

a diverse array of synthetic methodologies. They have the

ability to participate in various cross-coupling reactions for the

generation of carbon–carbon, carbon–nitrogen, and carbon–

oxygen bonds. Often iodinated substrates are preferred to the

brominated analogs, due to cleaner reactions. They are also handy

precursors for the formation of organolithium, organozinc, or

organomagnesium reagents. Sigma-Aldrich is pleased to off er

these useful building blocks for your research.

XtalFluor-E® and

XtalFluor-M®: Convenient,

Crystalline Deoxofluorination

Reagents

Figure 1: Structures of the new deoxofl uorination reagents, XtalFluor-E

(719439) and XtalFluor-M (719447).

The introduction of fl uorine into the framework of an organic

molecule is an important synthetic transformation. Historically,

though, this transformation has been fraught with technical

challenges when using traditional fl uorination reagents such

DAST and Deoxo-Fluor®. In particular, the chemical practitioner

has been forced to weigh the benefi ts of these once best-in-class

reagents against the disadvantages of their stringent handling

and safety requirements.

Scheme 1: Generic substrate scope of XtalFluor-mediated deoxofl uorination.

With the recent introduction of XtalFluor-E and XtalFluor-M by

Couturier and coworkers, however, many of the issues surrounding

the safety and handling requirements of traditional fl uorination

reagents are no longer of concern.2 XtalFluors, as their name

intimates, are crystalline deoxofl uorination reagents amenable

to short-term handling open to the atmosphere. The substrate

and reactivity profi les of the XtalFluors are also comparable to the

traditional deoxofl uorination reagents (Scheme 1): alcohols are

converted to the corresponding alkyl fl uorides, aldehydes and

ketones to the geminal-difl uorides, carboxylic acids to the acyl

fl uorides, sulfoxides to the fl uoromethyl thioethers and hemiacetal

sugars to the corresponding glycosyl fl uoride donors.

An intrinsic property of the XtalFluors is that they do not generate

free HF under anhydrous reaction conditions. While the mechanism

is still under investigation, it is thought that the XtalFluors activate

the C–O bond without concomitant fl uoride release. Only upon

subsequent exposure to a promoter such as DBU, Et3N ∙ 3HF, or

Et3N ∙ 2HF, does fl uoride attack the activated carbon atom. The

chemical effi ciency of the deoxofl uorination is high. As can be

noted in Scheme 2, generally, if DAST or Deoxo-Fluor work, so too

should the XtalFluors (Scheme 2).

The stability of the XtalFluors has also been investigated by

Accelerated Rate Calorimetry (ARC). These studies have shown that

the XtalFluors have greater thermal stability than DAST or Deoxo-

Fluor (Table 1). This may be of particular practical interest when

considering reagents to utilize for scale-up routes.

Table 1: Accelerated Rate Calorimetry (ARC) data comparisons indicating a

higher thermal stability of the XtalFluors.

Improved NMR Tubes from

Sigma-Aldrich

Color coded for easy identification out of the box

Aldrich ColorSpec® NMR tubes are printed with colored bands

at the top of each tube and are supplied with colored caps to

indicate the quality grade of the NMR tube. In addition, each tube

is printed with the MHz rating and a marking spot.

Chemists can easily identify the grade of a ColorSpec® NMR tube

at all stages of its use, from opening the box, filling, storage and

transport to NMR machine, and even after wash and oven drying.

Avoid poor quality spectra or risk of probe damage from mistaking

low grade tubes and using in high frequency instruments.

Aldrich ColorSpec NMR Tubes

Precision tubes (RED color code) are thin wall (0.38 mm)

Type 1, Class A Borosilicate glass, suitable for low or high

temperature work and are precision ground and highly polished

for spinning stability and highest resolution. Thrift tubes (YELLOW

color code) and disposable tubes (BLUE color code) are medium

wall (0.43 mm) Type 1, Class B Borosilicate glass for ambient

temperature, general use.

and studies involving biological samples.

Note 1: Impact on shimming quality varies upon magnetic field strength. Dispoable/Thrift tubes are recommended for 1D low field experiments.

Note 2: Sample volume reproducibility refers to the maximum volume fluctuation when filling different NMR tubes to the same sample height.

This number correlates to the reproducibility of time domain signal amplitude between different runs.

Aldrich Spectral Viewer FT-NMR

Spectral Viewer

products are

electronic reference

books on CD-ROM

that contains

thousands of spectra

from the Aldrich

spectral libraries.

The easy-to-use software is more powerful than a printed book,

allowing text and data field searching and the manipulation,

printing, and exporting of spectra. There are two FT-NMR libraries

available containing over 15,000 compounds in total. The libraries

can be used individually and can be combined to create a single

powerful, electronic reference. Spectral Viewer is expandable so

that when new spectral libraries are released, they can be easily

added to the software. Academic and Network versions

are available.

FT-NMR, standard library

11,800 compounds Z541265

FT-NMR, 2001 supplemental library

3,500 compounds Z538086
