Several new para-substituted benzyl- or phenyl-type protecting groups and their application to linkers for solid-phase synthesis are described. p-Acylaminobenzyl groups have higher acid stability than the p-methoxybenzyl (MPM) group, but are readily cleaved with 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyanobenzoquinone (DDQ). The p-azidobenzyl (Azb) group also has higher acid stability than the MPM group and can be removed much faster than the MPM group by DDQ oxidation after conversion of the azide group into the corresponding iminophosphorane. The acid stability of the p-azido-m-chlorobenzyl group (Cl-Azb) is higher than that of the Azb group. The former can be readily removed by DDQ oxidation after conversion of the azide group into the iminophosphorane. The p-acylaminophenyl glycoside linker can be readily obtained from p-nitrophenyl glycoside and can be readily cleaved by ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate (CAN) oxidation. This type of linker should be useful not only for the solid-phase synthesis of oligosaccharides but also for general solid-phase synthesis.

Silica gel-supported ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN-SiO2) was found effective for rapid and selective cleavage of trityl (Tr), monomethoxytrityl (MMTr), and dimethoxytrityl (DMTr) groups from protected nucleosides and nucleotides under mild conditions. Efficiency of deprotections depended upon the stability of the resultant carbocationic species: DMTr+ > MMTr+ > Tr+. Use of a catalytic amount of this solid-supported reagent can also efficiently and selectively remove the tert-butyldimethylsilyl or the triisopropylsilyl group from a primary hydroxyl functionality in di- or trisilyl ethers of ribonucleosides. A comparative study of deprotection reactions by utilization of CAN alone or CAN-SiO2 indicates a remarkable increase in the rate of the reactions involving a solid support. The mechanism of electron-transfer processes is proposed for the use of CAN-SiO2 in the removal of these protective groups from organic molecules.

This review deals with total syntheses of biologically active natural products by the use of metal-mediated coupling reactions as key steps. First, we explored the coupling reactions mediated by samarium (II) diiodide (SmI2), which is a useful versatile one electron reducing reagent. The SmI2-mediated coupling reactions of N,N-dibenzyl-alpha-bromoamide and N,N-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-alpha-bromoamide with carbonyl compounds gave the corresponding beta-hydroxyamides, respectively. Then, oxidative treatment of compound 6c with ceric (IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) gave d,l-myrmicacine (7b). Synthesis of pyrrolizidine alkaloid pyrrolam A (8), which causes damage to fertilized eggs at a low concentration, was accomplished via the SmI2-mediated cyclization between a bromoalkyl and ynamide group. Next, (+/-)-oxerine (15), a monoterpene alkaloid, was synthesized starting from 3-bromopyridine. The synthesis of (+/-)-oxerine (15) was also carried out via the SmI2-mediated intramolecular cyclization of gamma-ethynyl bromide (40). Next, we focused on the palladium-catalyzed oxidation of alcohol and tried to expand it to the intermolecular cyclization. As a result, treatment of hydroxy-enamines and hydroxy-amines with a palladium catalyst gave the corresponding pyrroles and indoles in moderate to good yields. Finally, the syntheses of three pyrrolidine alkaloids were described. The chromium (II) chloride-mediated coupling reactions of (R)- and (S)-Garner aldehydes (56 and 57) with allyl bromides proceeded with moderate stereoselectivity to afford the corresponding homoallyl alcohols, which were converted to (2R, 3S)-2-hydroxymethyl-3-hydroxypyrrolidine (61), (2R, 3R, 4R)-3-hydroxy-4-methylproline (66), and the enantiomer (77) of (-)-bulgecinine (78).

The natural product hybrids quinone-mucocin and quinone- squamocin D were synthesized. In these hybrids, the butenolide unit of the annonaceous acetogenins mucocin and squamocin D is exchanged for the quinone moiety of the natural complex I substrate ubiquinone. For both syntheses, a modular, highly convergent approach was applied. Quinone-mucocin was constructed out of a tetrahydropyran (THP) component 1, a tetrahydrofuran (THF) unit 2, and a quinone precursor 3. A stereoselective, organometallic coupling reaction was chosen for the addition of the THP unit to the rest of the molecule. In the final step, the oxidation to the free quinone was achieved by using cerium(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN) as the oxidizing agent. Quinone-squamocin D was assembled in a similar manner, from the chiral side chain bromide 16, the central bis-THF core 17, and the quinone precursor 18. Inhibition of complex I (isolated from bovine heart mitochondria) by the quinone acetogenins and several smaller building blocks was examined; quinone mucocin and quinone-squamocin D act as strong inhibitors of complex I. These results and the data from the smaller substructures indicate that other substructures of the acetogenins besides the butenolide group, such as the polyether component and the lipophilic left-hand side chain, are necessary for the strong binding of the acetogenins to complex I.

Polyethyleneimine (PEI) was chemically introduced onto chitosan by its reaction with epoxide groups of grafted poly(glycidyl methacrylate) (poly(GMA)) chains for enhanced metal chelating properties and improved physical stability in acidic conditions. Graft polymerization of poly(GMA) onto chitosan was initiated by Ce(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN). Infrared spectroscopy revealed the presence of significant epoxide groups to confirm the success of both grafting and amination stages. Batch adsorption experiments showed the higher affinity of the modified chitosan resin for Cu2+, Zn2+ and Pb2+. The capacity enhancement was even more pronounced in the case of Zn2+ and Pb2+, which exhibits more complicated three dimensional coordination requirements. Optimum metal adsorption occurs at above pH4. Regeneration of the resin with sulphuric acid-ammonium sulphate was also found to be feasible.

Phenolate and phenoxyl radical complexes of a series of alkaline earth metal ions as well as monovalent cations such as Na+ and K+ have been prepared by using 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(1,4,7,10-tetraoxa-13-aza-cyclopentadec-13-ylmethyl)phenol (L1H) and 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(1,4,7,10,13-pentaoxa-16-aza-cyclooctadec-16-ylmethyl)phenol (L2H) to examine the effects of the cations on the structure, physicochemical properties and redox reactivity of the phenolate and phenoxyl radical complexes. Crystal structures of the Mg2+- and Ca2+-complexes of L1- as well as the Ca2+- and Sr2+-complexes of L2- were determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis, showing that the crown ether rings in the Ca2+-complexes are significantly distorted from planarity, whereas those in the Mg2+- and Sr2+-complexes are fairly flat. The spectral features (UV-vis) as well as the redox potentials of the phenolate complexes are also influenced by the metal ions, depending on the Lewis acidity of the metal ions. The phenoxyl radical complexes are successfully generated in situ by the oxidation of the phenolate complexes with (NH4)(2)[Ce4+(NO3)6] (CAN). They exhibited strong absorption bands around 400 nm together with a broad one around 600-900 nm, the latter of which is also affected by the metal ions. The phenoxyl radical-metal complexes are characterized by resonance Raman, ESI-MS, and ESR spectra, and the metal ion effects on those spectroscopic features are also discussed. Stability and reactivity of the phenoxyl radical-metal complexes are significantly different, depending on the type of metal ions. The disproportionation of the phenoxyl radicals is significantly retarded by the electronic repulsion between the metal cation and a generated organic cation (Ln+), leading to stabilization of the radicals. On the other hand, divalent cations decelerate the rate of hydrogen atom abstraction from 10-methyl-9,10-dihydroacridine (AcrH2) and its 9-substituted derivatives (AcrHR) by the phenoxyl radicals. On the basis of primary kinetic deuterium isotope effects and energetic consideration of the electron-transfer step from AcrH2 to the phenoxyl radical-metal complexes, we propose that the hydrogen atom abstraction by the phenoxyl radical-alkaline earth metal complexes proceeds via electron transfer followed by proton transfer.

New segmented polyurethanes (SPUs) grafted phospholipid analogous vinyl monomer, 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) on surface were synthesized. The soft segment of these polyurethanes was hydroxylated poly(isoprene) diol and the hard segments were 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) and 1,4-butanediol (BD). SPUs were hydroxylated by potassium peroxodisulfate and MPC was grafted on the surface of hydroxylated SPUs using di-ammonium cerium (IV) nitrate (ceric ammonium nitrate, CAN) as a radical initiator. The bulk characterization of synthesized SPUs was investigated by infrared spectroscopy (IR) and gel-permeation chromatography (GPC). The existence of phospholipid analogous groups on the surface of these SPUs was revealed by attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and contact angle measurements. The surfaces of MPC-grafted SPUs showed decreased water contact angles compared to non-grafted SPU and the presence of phosphorylcholine groups. The blood compatibilities of the new polymers were evaluated by platelet rich plasma (PRP) contact studies and viewed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) using BioSpan and non-grafted polyurethane as references. We found that fewer platelets adhered to the MPC-grafted surfaces and that they showed less shape variation than the references. These results suggest that these grafted polymers may have the possibility of the usage for biomaterials.

The ceric(IV) ammonium nitrate (CAN)-mediated radical addition of dimethyl malonate to glycals 1 affords methyl glycosides 2 and ortho esters 3 as main products; the product distribution strongly depends on the substitution pattern at the 1-position, which can be rationalized in terms of the oxidation potentials of the intermediary anomeric radicals.

The first Ritter-type reaction of alkylbenzenes with nitriles has been successfully achieved by the use of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as a key catalyst. Thus, treatment of ethylbenzene with ammonium hexanitratocerate(IV) (CAN) in the presence of a catalytic amount of NHPI in EtCN under argon produced the corresponding amide in good selectivity.

A new type of sugar-amino acid hybrid, which is comprised of a sugar unit (gluco-, galacto-, or mannopyranose) linked through a C-glycosidic linkage to the beta-position of an alpha-unsubstituted beta-amino acid unit, is presented. It is hypothesized that these new compounds, or the oligomeric peptides derived therefrom, might possess the structural features of beta-amino acid oligomers and the chemical and enzymatic resistance of C-glycosides to hydrolysis. The synthetic strategy is based on a new Mannich-type reaction between a chiral acetate enolate equivalent and alpha-amido sulfones derived from the corresponding sugar-C-glycoside aldehydes. While the sugar-C-glycoside aldehyde partner is prepared from well-established transformations on known sugar precursors, the lithium enolate derived from (1R)-endo-2-acetylisoborneol 3 is employed as the key element. This Mannich approach proceeds with essentially perfect diasteromeric control leading to the new beta-amino carbonyl adducts in good yields. Further, cleavage of the camphor auxiliary is smoothly performed by oxidative treatment with ammonium cerium nitrate (CAN). Complementarily, direct peptide-type coupling of the beta-amino carbonyl Mannich adducts with an alpha- or beta-amino acid residue and subsequent CAN-promoted detachment of the auxiliary yields dipeptide fragments bearing a sugar-containing aliphatic side chain and is a process that can be iterated. A preliminary conformational study based on the combination of experimental NMR data and molecular mechanics and molecular dynamics (MD) of one particular adduct is also provided.
