A B S T R A C T V2O5/SnO2 solid acid catalysts have been employed for the vapour-phase Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime to e-caprolactam. Catalysts with different vanadia loading (3–15 wt%) were prepared by impregnation method and characterized by XRD, BET surface area, FTIR and 51V NMR techniques. The surface acidic properties were determined by temperature programmed desorption and cumene cracking reaction. Under optimized reaction conditions, catalyst with 9 wt% V2O5 gives the maximum amount of desired product (yield 78.8%). However, the catalysts are susceptible for deactivation due to the basic nature of the reaction products (50% deactivation in 5 h). A good correlation was obtained among the rearrangement activities of V2O5/SnO2 catalysts, their weak plus medium acidities (usually of the Bro¨ nsted type) and structural properties.

Uemura e colaboradores em 1996, apresentam em comum um sistema 6-aza-[4.5.0]-espirobiciclodecano. A atividade biológica da haliclorina (1) está relacionada com a inibição de moléculas associadas à adesão de células vasculares (VCAM-1) com IC50 de 7mg/mL. O ácido pináico (2) e ácido tauropináico (3) são inibidores da fosfolipase A2 (FLA2). Devido à similaridade estrutural existente entre haliclorina (1), ácido pináico (2) e ácido tauropináico (3), a proposta sintética para estes produtos naturais apresenta um intermediário chave em comum, o núcleo 6-aza-[4.5.0]- espirobiciclodecano. A estratégia sintética foi baseada em uma reação de Michael estereosseletiva entre enolato de lítio da N-propionilpirolidina e 1-ciclopenten-1-carboxilato de metila, seguida da alquilação in situ com 4-iodo-butirato de etila formando 4 em 68% rendimento. A próxima etapa consistiu na condensação de Dieckmann seguida de hidrólise/descarboxilação conduzindo a cetona 5 (61% rendimento) que sofreu redução com LiEt3BH, seguida de lactonização espontânea para gerar 6 (67% rendimento). Após algumas manipulações de grupo funcionais foi obtida a oxima 7 (76% rendimento de 6) precursora do rearranjo de Beckmann que forneceu a lactama espirobicíclica 8 em 60% rendimento / Abstract: In 1996, D. Uemura and co-workers isolated the marine alkaloids halichlorine (1), pinnaic acid (2) and tauropinaic acid (3). They are structurally co-related by a 6- azaspiro[4.5.0]decane core. The biological activity of the haliclorina (1) is related to the inhibition of molecules associated to the adhesion of vascular cells (VCAM-1) with IC50 7mg/mL. The pinnaic acid (2) and tauropinnaic acid (3) are inhibitors of the fosfolipase A2 (FLA2). Due to the structural similarity among halichlorine (1), acid pinnaic (2) and acid tauropinnaic (3), this work presents a new synthetic approach to a common key intermediate, the 6-azaspiro[4.5.0]decane nucleus. Our approach was based on the tandem Michael addition/alkylation of the lithium enolate of N-propionyl pyrrolidine to 1-carbomethoxy cyclopentene, followed by in situ alkylation with ethyl 4-iodobutanoate to provide 4 in 68% yield. Dieckmann cyclization, followed by decarboxylation, afforded spirobicyclic ketone 5 (61% yield) which underwent reduction with LiEt3BH reduction, followed by spontaneous lactonization to give 6 (67% yield). Straightforward functional group manipulations provided oxime 7 (76% yield from 6) which underwent Beckmann rearrangement to afford the spirobicyclic lactam 8 in 60% yield, a potential intermediate to the synthesis of those alkaloids / Doutorado / Quimica Organica / Doutor em Ciências

Progress towards a concise total synthesis of subincanadine E is reported. This natural product was first isolated from the Picralima nitida cell suspension culture line in 1982 under the name pericine and later in 2002 from Aspidosperma subincanum as subincanadine E. It is the most potent compound of its class with in vitro cytotoxicity against both murine lymphoma L1210 and human epidermoid carcinoma KB cells (LD50, 0.3 ug/mL and 4.4 ug/mL, respectively) and was found to be six times more potent than codeine as an opiate agonist in a 3H-naloxone binding study (IC50, 0.6 umol/L). The first-generation synthesis produced an undesired internal olefin that, upon attempted isomerization, catalyzed an unusual intermolecular Diels-Alder reaction. A revised second-generation synthesis employed (±)-harmicine and showcased an intramolecular Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction that furnished an unanticipated 5-membered ring instead of the predicted 6-membered ring via methylene linker activation. Further studies utilizing an amide intermediate and organocuprate chemistry produced no desired carbon-carbon bond formation. A third-generation synthesis was carried out from enantiopure (S)-carvone. This route explored regioselective oxime formation and protecting group manipulations for a subsequent Beckmann rearrangement, which provided the first access to 5-amino derivatives of carvone. An intramolecular Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction was performed to construct the aza-bicycle prior to indole installation. Contingent on its success, indole introduction and a double alkylation would provide an akuammicine-like scaffold that can ring-open upon hydride exposure to afford (15S)-subincanadine E in 16 overall steps. This work accomplished 10 steps toward the first total asymmetric synthesis of (15S)-subincanadine E.
