    Abstract We wish to report a new synthetic approach for diphenylacetylene in which tetrachloroethylene was reacted with phenylboronic acid in the presence of Pd catalyst, followed by a workup procedure to provide the crude product, which was then allowed to react with n-butyllithium via the halogen lithium exchange of Cl atom and loss of Li and Cl atoms to afford the desired diphenylacetylene in good yield.

    Abstract We have developed a regioselective synthesis of 3,4-disubstituted isoxazoles by using a chalcone-rearrangement strategy. The reaction of β-ketoacetals with hydroxylamine hydrochloride and pyridine afforded the corresponding 3,4-disubstituted isoxazoles via isoxazolines or oximes. Depending on the substrate, another disubstituted isomer was also obtained under our optimized conditions, and a reaction mechanism for each transformation is proposed.

    Abstract We investigated the reaction of ketoximes with hypervalent iodine reagents. A combination of PhI(OAc)2 and BF3·Et2O promoted the Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes, thus yielding the corresponding amides. From a detailed investigation of the reaction, we determined that the Beckmann rearrangement is preceded by acetylation of the hydroxy group of the ketoxime in situ, accelerating the Beckmann rearrangement. We confirmed that the acetylated ketoxime undergoes the Beckmann rearrangement with BF3·Et2O. The reaction of ketoximes with Koser’s reagent [PhI(OH)OTs] in the presence of tetrahydrofuran results in hydrolysis, affording the corresponding ketones in high yields at room temperature.

    A method for synthesizing six-membered heterocyclic compounds was developed based on the features of O,P-acetals. Sequential reactions of intramolecular cyclization between the methylene carbon atom of O,P-acetal and its electrophilic functional group (ester or protected carbamate) was followed by Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination with various aldehydes. The developed one-pot method yielded isochroman-4-one and benzoxazin-3-one derivatives with an alkylidene moiety.

    In the presence of palladium on carbon (Pd/C) as a catalyst, hydrogenation of aliphatic nitriles in cyclohexane efficiently proceeded at 25-60 degrees C under ordinary hydrogen gas pressure to afford the corresponding tertiary amines. However, the use of rhodium on carbon (Rh/C) led to the highly selective generation of secondary amines. Hydrogenation of aromatic nitriles and cyclohexanecarbonitrile selectively produced secondary amines in the presence of either Pd/C or Rh/C.

The addition of a fluorine source (F- or SCF3-) to the pyridinium-type salts afforded the corresponding fluorinated methyl ethers in good yields under mild conditions. Notably, the synthesis of monofluoromethyl ethers proceeded within just 5 min.

    A novel transformation reaction of methylene acetals, using a combination of trimethyl(phenylthio)silane (PhSTMS) and N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) under mild reaction conditions, is described. Various methylene acetals were converted to their corresponding bromoformates in good to high yields. Under the given conditions, the reaction proceeded via a radical pathway. Further transformation of bromoformates to their corresponding epoxides was achieved by treatment with NaOMe.

    We studied selective bromination and iodination of dimethyl indole-2,3-dicarboxylates using phenyliodine diacetate (PIDA), LiBr, and LiI in the presence of Lewis acid. The protective group on the nitrogen of indole is important for selectivity of the halogenation position, and the use of a benzenesulfonyl group as a protective group resulted in preferential halogenation of indole at the 6-position.

    A novel approach to producing the quinoline skeleton from 2-aminochalcone was developed. Treatment of benzyloxycarbonyl (Cbz)-protected 2-aminochalcones with BF3 center dot Et2O afforded quinoline derivatives via the deprotection of the Cbz group and isomerization of olefin in a one-pot reaction. The reaction of various 2-aminochalcones proceeded to give the corresponding 2-arylquinoline derivatives in good yields. This method is applicable to the rapid synthesis of dubamine.

    Hypervalent iodine mediated decarboxylative halogenation of indoledicarboxylic acid derivatives was studied. The treatment of 1-methylindole-2,3-dicarboxylic acid with phenyliodine diacetate (PIDA) in the presence of lithium bromide gave 1-methyl-3,3-bromooxindole. However, the reaction of 1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole-2,3-dicarboxylic acid with PIDA in the presence of lithium bromide afforded 2,3-dibromo-1-(phenylsulfonyl)indole. In a similar manner, the 2,3-dichloro- and 2,3-diiodoindole derivatives could be obtained by the reaction of the indole-2,3-dicarboxylic acids with PIDA in the presence of lithium chloride and iodide. This method was optimized to the synthesis of polybromoindole alkaloids.

    Although acetals are useful protective groups for carbonyl functions and widely used in organic synthesis, their protection and deprotection under acidic conditions unable to use the substrates with acid labile functions. We recently found that the combination of TESOTf (Et3Si0Tf) 2,6lutidine or 2,4,6-collidine was effective for the deprotection of acetal. The reaction proceeded under nearly neutral conditions and was applicable to the substrates with acid labile functions, and the most noteworthy of this method is the achievement of the chemoselective deprotection of acetals in the presence of ketals. The above reaction proceeds via pyridinium-type salt intermediates, which are found to be highly reactive toward various nucleophiles not only H20 but also heteroatom and carbon nucleophiles affording the corresponding substituted products. This reaction could be conducted under mild reaction conditions whereas conventional methods need harsh reaction conditions. This methodology is also applicable to the deprotection of acetal-type protective groups such as MOM-type ethers, THP ether, and methylene acetal, and the combination of TMSOTf (TESOTf) 2,2'-bipyridyl afforded the best result

The use of BHT in this process suppresses side reactions and enables high-yielding formation of methylene acetals of various diols, including carbohydrate-type substrates. © 2013 American Chemical Society.

    The effects of phosphorus substituents on the reactivity of alpha-alkoxyphosphonium salts with nucleophiles has been explored. Reactions of a-alkoxyphosphonium salts, prepared from various acetals and tri(o-tolyl)-phosphine, with a variety of nucleophiles proceeded efficiently. These processes represent the first examples of high-yielding nucleophilic substitution reactions of a-alkoxyphosphonium salts. The reactivity of these salts was determined by a balance between steric and electronic factors, respectively, represented by cone angles theta and CO stretching frequencies nu (steric and electronic parameters, respectively). In addition, a novel reaction of a-alkoxyphosphonium salts derived from Ph3P with Grignard reagents was observed to take place in the presence of O-2 to afford alcohols in good yields. A radical mechanism is proposed for this process that has gained support from isotope-labeling and radical-inhibition experiments.

    Highly substituted four- and five-membered heterocycles were prepared starting with O,P- and N,P-acetals by using a one-pot method involving base induced cyclization and a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) olefination reaction. Divergent synthesis of various heterocycles was achieved by using this method and transformations of the alkenyl group in the products of these processes were exemplified. Finally, a short and efficient synthesis of (+/-)-pseudodeflectusin based on the new methodology was achieved.

    Mild substitution reactions of acetals with carbon nucleophiles via the pyridinium-type salts generated by the treatment of acetals with TESOTf-2,4,6-collidine or 2,2'-bipyridyl have been developed. Various carbon nucleophiles, such as organocuprates, silyl enol ethers, enamines, etc., reacted with the pyridinium-type salts to give the corresponding substituted products in good yields. The reactions proceeded under very mild conditions (non-acidic conditions) and thus acid-sensitive functional groups can be tolerated during the reaction. In addition, only an acetal can form the pyridinium-type salt and react with nucleophiles in the presence of a ketal. This unusual selectivity is in contrast to general methods conducted under acidic conditions.

    N-6-Benzyladenine (benzyladenine), a plant growth regulator, was efficiently deuterated by the hydrogen deuterium (H D) exchange reaction catalyzed by palladium on carbon-ethylenediamine complex [Pd/C(en)], while use of palladium on carbon (Pd/C) as a catalyst led to a low deuterium incorporation at room temperature or complete removal of the N-6-benzyl group at 110 degrees C or higher temperature. The obtained benzyladenine-d(5) was used as an internal standard (surrogate) for the quantification of residual benzyladenine in fruits, vegetables, cereals, and beans using LC/MS/MS. Satisfactory recovery of benzyladenine between 94.2 and 105.7% (100.4% on the average) was obtained. The agrochemical could be detected within the concentration range of 0.25-0.50 ng/g in agricultural products using the present quantification method.

    Nitriles were found to be highly effective alkylating reagents for the selective N-alkylation of amines under catalytic hydrogenation conditions. For the aromatic primary amines, the corresponding secondary amines were selectively obtained under Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions. Although the use of electron poor aromatic amines or bulky nitriles showed a lower reactivity toward the reductive alkylation, the addition of NH4OAc enhanced the reactivity to give secondary aromatic amines in good to excellent yields. Under the same reaction conditions, aromatic nitro compounds instead of the aromatic primary amines could be directly transformed into secondary amines via a domino reaction involving the one-pot hydrogenation of the nitro group and the reductive alkylation of the amines. While aliphatic amines were effectively converted to the corresponding tertiary amines under Pd/C-catalyzed conditions, Rh/C was a highly effective catalyst for the N-monoalkylation of aliphatic primary amines without over-alkylation to the tertiary amines. Furthermore, the combination of the Rh/C-catalyzed N-monoalkylation of the aliphatic primary amines and additional Pd/C-catalyzed alkylation of the resulting secondary aliphatic amines could selectively prepare aliphatic tertiary amines possessing three different alkyl groups. According to the mechanistic studies, it seems reasonable to conclude that nitriles were reduced to aldimines before the nucleophilic attack of the amine during the first step of the reaction.

    An effective, asymmetric total synthesis of the antibiotic (+)-sorangicin A (1) has been achieved. Central to this venture was the development of first- and second-generation syntheses of the signature dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octane core, the first featuring chemo- and stereoselective epoxide ring openings facilitated by a Co-2(Co)(6)-alkyne complex, the second involving a KHMDS-promoted epoxide ring formation/opening cascade. Additional highlights include effective construction of the dihydro- and tetrahydropyran ring systems, respectively, via a stereoselective conjugate addition/alpha-oxygenation protocol and a thioketalization/hydrostannane reduction sequence. Late-stage achievements entailed two Julia-Kocienski olefinations to unite three advanced fragments with high E-stereoselectivity, followed by a modified Stille protocol to introduce the Z,Z,E trienoate moiety, thereby completing the carbon skeleton. Mukaiyama macrolactonization, followed by carefully orchestrated Lewis and protic acid-promoted deprotections that suppressed isomerization and/or destruction of the sensitive (Z,Z,E)-trienoate linkage completed the first, and to date only, total synthesis of (+)-sorangicin A (1).

    An efficient and practical procedure for the hydrogenation of aliphatic and aromatic ketones under mild reaction conditions is established. The method is highly effective even for the hydrogenation of sterically hindered ketones. Furthermore, the selective hydrogenation of the carbonyl group of aromatic ketones was achieved with the aromatic nuclei and the resulting secondary benzyl alcohol moiety still intact on addition of catalytic amount of pyridine.

    A diastereoselective ring contraction of the diastereomixture of 2,4-disubstituted 1,3-dioxepins to 2,5-cis-2,3,5-trisubstituted tetrahydrofurans was achieved using TfOH in DMF. The reaction appears to proceed via a chair-like transition state, in which stereomutation of the oxocarbenium occurred, followed by an aldol-type cyclization.

    Palladium on carbon-ethylenediamine complex [Pd/C(en)] catalyzed deuteration of N(6)-benzyladenine-d(5), which is a plant growth regulator, to introduce 5 deuterium atoms, while use of Pd/C as a catalyst led to a complete removal of N(6)-benzyl group. The corresponding deuterated N(6)-benzyladenine was successfully used as a surrogate compound for the quantitative analysis of residual benzyladenine in crops using LC/MS/MS.

    A diphenyl sulfide immobilized on palladium-on-carbon system, Pd/C[Ph(2)S], was developed to achieve the highly chemoselective hydrogenation of alkenes, acetylenes, azides, and nitro groups in the presence of aromatic ketones, halides, benzyl esters, and N-Cbz protective groups. Instrumental analyses of the heterogeneous catalyst demonstrated that diphenyl sulfide was embedded on Pd/C via coordination of its sulfur atom to palladium metal or physical interaction with graphite layers of the activated carbon. The catalyst could be recovered and reused at least five times without any significant loss of the reactivity.

    A facile and environmentally friendly synthetic method for a variety of symmetrical 1,3-diyne derivatives based on the Pd/C-Cul-catalyzed homocoupling reaction of terminal alkynes has been developed. The reaction was efficiently catalyzed by the extrernely low loading (0.01-0.03 mol%) of Pd/C and Cul (3 mol%) in the presence of molecular oxygen (02) as an oxidant without any phosphine ligands and bases.

    A mild and efficient ligand-free Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction catalyzed by heterogeneous Pd/C was developed. Aryl bromides and triflates undergo the cross-coupling with aryl boronic acids in excellent yields without the presence of any additives in aqueous media at room temperature. Aryl vinyl boronic acids are also applicable to this coupling reaction and provide the trans-stilbene derivatives in high yields. The application of wet-type Pd/C to the coupling reaction was achieved without any loss of activity under aerobic conditions, and the reuse of Pd/C is feasible for a fifth run without significant loss of activity. Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mass-spectrometric analysis of the filtrate from the reaction mixture of 4-bromonitrobenzene with phenylboronic acid demonstrated that the palladium metal hardly leached into the solution within the limits of the detector (< 1 ppm), thus suggesting that the present Suzuki-Miyaura reaction proceeded by heterogeneous catalysis. © 2007 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

    Aromatic nitriles are not only important components of natural products, pharmaceuticals, herbicides and agrochemicals but also a synthetic equivalent of various functionalities. The development of synthetic methods of aromatic nitriles have been increasing in terms of its usefulness. Since aromatic nitriles are susceptible to the hydrogenation, it has been desired for the development of chemoselective hydrogenation method with retention of nitrile groups. Pd/C is one of the most popular catalysts for hydrogenation and many of reducible functional groups such as multiple bonds, benzyl ethers, N-Cbzs, nitro groups and so on could be easily reduced under the conditions. Therefore, it is very difficult to achieve the chemoselective hydrogenation of substrates containing two or more reducible functional groups. We have found that a Pd/C catalyst formed an isolable complex with ethylenediamine (en) employed as catalytic poison, and the complex [Pd/C(en)] catalyzed chemoselective hydrogenation of a variety of reducible functionalities distinguishing O-benzyl, N-Cbz and O-TBDMS protective groups, benzyl alcohols and epoxides. In the course of these investigations, we found the aryl nitriles could survive under the Pd/C(en)-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions in THF whose choice is important for the effective suppression. This methodology could be applied to the selective hydrogenation of alkene and alkyne functionalities in the presence of aromatic nitrile.

    A liquid-phase redox system between secondary alcohols and ketones is described. Deuteration of either secondary alcohols or ketones using the Pd/C-H-2-D2O system gave a mixture of deuterium-labeled secondary alcohols and ketones. The results indicated that the secondary alcohol was oxidized to the corresponding ketone without oxidants under the hydrogenation conditions and the hydrogenation of the aliphatic ketone to the corresponding secondary alcohol simultaneously proceeded. Detailed mechanistic studies on the redox system as well as the H-D exchange reaction are discussed.

    We have found that phenolic hydroxyl groups were readily deoxygenated via aryl sulfonate under the Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation conditions in the presence of diethylamine and the method could also be applicable to the hydrodeoxygenation of morphine to afford 3-deoxy-7,8-dihydromorphine. Diethylamine is not only a scavenger of the corresponding methanesulfonic acid derivative, which is produced during the reaction progress, but also a strong promoter of the Pd/C-catalyzed reduction of aryl sulfonates. This catalyst system could provide a general method for the deoxygenation of various phenol derivatives because of its mild reaction conditions, ease of handling, and no need of particular apparatus.

    A method for the deoxygenation of phenolic hydroxy groups via aryl triflates or mesylates has been established by using a combination of Pd/C-Mg-MeOH. The addition of NH4OAc to the system markedly accelerated the reaction rate and expanded the scope of the reaction. Mechanistic studies suggested that a single-electron transfer process from the Pd-0 center to the benzene ring is involved in the reduction of aryl sulfonates and that NH4OAc works as a solubilization reagent of the Mg salt and as an accelerator of the electron transfer, thus enhancing the reaction process. Our method was also applicable to the regioselective deuteration of benzene derivatives with CH3OD as the solvent and deuterium source: the original hydroxy group could be efficiently replaced with a deuterium atom.

    A practical and efficient preparation method of palladium-fibroin (Pd/Fib),

    silk-fibroin and Pd(OAc)2 in MeOH, whereas our previous preparation method required
    at least 4 days. The present improved process is applicable to a large-scale preparation
    of Pd/Fib. The Pd/Fib prepared by the present method also catalyzed chemoselective
    hydrogenation of acetylenes, olefins, and azides in the presence of aromatic ketones,
    aldehydes, and halides; N-Cbz protective groups; and benzyl esters, which are
    readily hydrogenated under the Pd/C- or Pd/C(en)-catalyzed hydrogenation

    While Pd/C is one of the most useful catalysts for hydrogenation, the high catalyst activity of Pd/C causes difficulty in its application to chemoselective hydrogenation between different types of reducible functionalities. In order to achieve chemoselective hydrogenation using Pd/C, we investigated catalyst poison as a controller of the catalyst activity. We found that the addition of Ph2S (diphenylsulfide) to the Pd/C-catalyzed hydrogenation reaction mixture led to reasonable deactivation of Pd/C. By the use of the Pd/C-Ph2S catalytic system, olefins, acetylenes, and azides can be selectively reduced in the coexistence of aromatic carbonyls, aromatic halides, cyano groups, benzyl esters, and N-Cbz (benzyloxycarbonyl) protecting groups. The present method is promising as a general and practical chemoselective hydrogenation process in synthetic organic chemistry. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    A protocol of a versatile H-D exchange reaction of heterocyclic compounds catalyzed by heterogeneous Pd/C in D2O is described. The reaction of various nitrogen-containing heterocycles with 10% Pd/C (10 wt % of the substrate) under hydrogen atmosphere in D2O as a deuterium source at 110-180 degrees C for 24 h afforded the corresponding deuterated compounds with satisfactory efficiency of deuteration in moderate to excellent isolated yields. Furthermore, the Pd/C-H-2-D2O system can be extended to the direct deuteration of biologically active compounds such as sulfamethazine, which is used as a synthetic antibacterial drug for fat stocks and would be applied as a general method for the preparation of the standard materials for the analysis of residual chemicals in foods and so on.

    We have found a synergistic effect in the H-D exchange reaction of alkyl-substituted aromatic compounds using the Pd/C-Pt/C-D2O-H-2 system. This system would lead to fully H-D exchange results even on the sterically hindered sites which were only low-deuterium incorporated by Pd/C or Pt/C independently. Since the reaction was general for a variety of aromatic compounds, it could be applied to the deuteration of dianiline derivatives as raw materials for polyimides.

    水素の安定同位体である重水素(D)で標識された化合物は安定で長期保存が可能なため、生体内の薬物動態や化学反応における反応機構の解明、タンパク質や酵素などの高次構造解析に使用される利用価値の高い化合物である。しかし重水素標識化合物は高価であり、入手可能な標識体が限定されている。重水素導入法としては重水素(D2)ガスを用いた還元反応が多用される。例えば、不飽和結合の接触重水素化、脱ハロゲン化、ベンジルアルコールの還元やエポキシドのD2還元反応などは重水素標識化合物の有用な合成法である。その他にも、D2ガスは原子炉劣化D20の再生や、LSI(大規模集積圓路)の製造工程でも利用されておりその有用性は高い。しかしD2ガスは極めて高価である。これは、その製法がD20の電気分解やH2ガス中に微量(約150ppm)存在するD2ガスの極低温.下での液化分留法に頼っているため、エネルギーや反応の効率に起因する。従って工業スケールにも対応したより実用的なD2ガス発生法の開発は極めて重要である。 本研究課題は、我々がPd/Cを用いた官能基選択的な接触還元反応の開発研究の過程で、重水素化溶媒を反応溶媒としたところ反応基質に重水素が導入されることを見出した事から発展した。このPd/C触媒による重水素標識化法は、温和な中性条件下、重水素源としては最も安価なD20を用いる実用的手法である。平成18年度から19年度にかけて継続的に、Pd/C-D20-H2システムによるベンジル位選択的H-D交換反応の効率を向上し、より実用的な反応とするため、特に「反応時間の短縮及び基質適用性の拡大」を集中的に検討した。さらに、平成19年度は、これまでのH-D交換反応の検討過程で見出した、Pd/C触媒によるD20とH2間の、室温下における高効率的「H2-D2交換反応」、すなわち触媒反応による化学的D2ガス発生法の実用化を目指し、「反応条件の最適化」および、発生させたD2ガスを利用した「還元性官能基を有する化合物のone-pot接触重水素化反応」への適用を鋭意検討した。その結果重水素標識化合物の簡便合成法の確立に成功した。さらに、「官能基選択的one-pot接触重水素化法」、「反応容器内で発生させたD2ガスの採集法」及び「採集したD2ガスを用いた様々な基質の重水素標識法」も確立した。

    タンパク質や酵素等の高次構造解析や反応機構の解明等に用いられる重水素(D)標識化合物は小分子量のD標識シントンやH-D交換反応等により合成されるが、いずれの手法も手間がかかる、高価な試薬・特殊な反応条件を必要とするなどの問題点を有している。一方、当研究室ではこれまでにPd/C-D_2O-H_2の組み合わせによる簡便重水素化法の開発に成功し、一般性ある高効率的D標識体合成法として確立している。また、Pt/C存在下では芳香環上でのD化反応が優先的に進行することを見出し、さらにPd/C及びPt/C共存下では芳香環及びアルキル炭素上でのD化反応が同時に進行し1段階での多重D化反応が進行することを見出している。そこでより効率的なD化法並びにD化触媒の開発を目的として異なる触媒反応点を有するPdとPtを活性炭に同時に担持させた複合金属触媒の調製及び反応性の検討を行った。まず触媒を調製するにあたり、触媒の調製法による反応性の違いについて検討した。一般にPdの活性炭担持型触媒の調製法としては2価のPd金属の溶液中に活性炭を加えた後、還元剤で0価に還元する方法により調製する。そこで今回、より高活性な複合触媒の調製を目的として、還元剤に水素、ヒドラジン、ホルムアルデヒド、水素化ホウ素ナトリウムの4種を用いて触媒を調製したところ、水素化ホウ素ナトリウムを還元剤に用いて調製した触媒が最も高い活性を示し、芳香環、アルキル側鎖共に高効率的にD化を受けることが明らかとなった。また、本触媒はD化反応において相乗効果が発現することが明らかとなり、Pd/CまたはPt/Cを単独で用いた場合よりも高い重水素化率で反応が進行し、特に立体的に込み合った部位での重水素化が効率的に進行することを明らかとした。

    インターフェロン誘導活性を有する9-bennzyl-8-hydroxyadenine(1)の発見に基づいて、標記研究課題を達成するために以下の3項目の研究を実施したので、以下にその成果を要約する。 1.アデニン環2位の化学修飾による高活性インターフェロン誘導剤の合成:化合物(1)は経口吸収性が低く、経口薬として開発するには問題点を含んでいる。吸収性の向上を期待して2位のアルキル基末端にヘテロ原子を有する誘導体を合成した。その中で、-O(CH_2)_2OMe(2)および-SCH_2OMe(3)が置換した誘導体がこれまでに最も高い活性を示した化合物と同等のインターフェロン誘導活性を示した。 2.デアザアデニン誘導体の合成:上記と同様の観点から、化合物(1)に比較して薬物動態の点で優れた性質が期待される3-及び1-デアザアデニン誘導体をデザインした。4-アミノ-2,6-ジクロロピリジンを出発物質として、2種の9-bennzyl-2-butoxy-3-deazaadenine及び9-bennzyl-2-butoxy-1-deazaadenineを合成した。これらの化合物は対応するアデニン誘導体に比較して脂溶性が向上しており、経口吸収性の改善が期待される。現在、これらの化合物の8位へのヒドロキシル基の導入を検討中である。 3.トール様受容体7(TLR-7)の蛍光性リガンドの合成:8-ヒドロキシアデニン誘導体がインターフェロン誘導活性を示す機構としてTLR-7のアゴニスト作用によると考えられる。したがって、TLR-7の構造および機能解析のプローブ開発を目的として、アデニン環9位に蛍光性官能基を導入した誘導体の合成を行った。ナフチルメチル基の導入ではインターフェロン誘導活性を示したが蛍光の発現は極めて低かった。また、強い蛍光を示すアントラニルメチル基やチオフェン置換誘導体では溶解性や反応性に問題があり、現時点では目的とする化合物の合成には至っていない。

    今回、申請者らは、水中での無機塩KBrの添加による低反応性、低溶解性の超原子価ヨウ素試薬PhIOの新規活性化法を利用したアルコール類の酸化反応の更なる展開を目的として研究を行った。まず、前年度、我々が見出したジオール類の酸化反応の拡張として異種分子間での酸化的エステル化反応を検討した。その結果、第1級アルコールの酸化反応の際にメタノールを共存させることで種々の第1級アルコール類から対応するメチルエステル体を収率良く得ることに成功した。今回、我々が見出した方法は一般性も高く、無水条件や過剰量の試薬を必要とした従来法に比べ、含水条件で行える簡便かつ収率の良いメチルエステル化反応である。さらに回収、再利用が可能なポリマー担持型超原子価ヨウ素試薬poly(diactoxyiodo)styrene(PDAIS)の利用を検討した結果、水中でのアルコール類の酸化反応と同様、本反応においても首尾良く反応が進行し、試薬のリサイクルも問題なく行えることが分かった。また、本活性化法を用いても困難であった電子吸引基を有する低活性なビアリールスルフィド類の酸化反応においてPhIOに比べ、より活性なphenyliodine diacetate (PIDA)を用いることでスルホンをほとんど副生することなく対応するスルホキシド類を収率良く与えることを見出した。また、PDAISを用いても首尾良く反応が進行し、種々のスルフィド類から対応するスルホキシド類を高収率で得ることに成功した。
