Multiple hydride reduction pathways in isoflavonoids
BACKGROUND Isoflavonoids are of interest owing to their appearance in metabolic pathways of isoflavones, and their estrogenic and other physiological properties, making them promising lead compounds for drug design. RESULTS The reduction of isoflavones by various hydride reagents occurs by a 1,4-pathway in contrast to ordinary beta-alkoxy-alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones. Isoflavan-4-ones, cis-...
متن کاملEnantioselective organocatalytic hydride reduction.
The first enantioselective organocatalytic hydride reduction has been accomplished. The use of iminium catalysis has provided a new organocatalytic strategy for the enantioselective reduction of beta,beta-substituted alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes to generate beta-stereogenic aldehydes. The use of imidazolidinone 2 as the asymmetric catalyst has been found to mediate the transfer of hydrogen ...
متن کاملHydride Reduction by a Sodium Hydride–Iodide Composite
Sodium hydride (NaH) is widely used as a Brønsted base in chemical synthesis and reacts with various Brønsted acids, whereas it rarely behaves as a reducing reagent through delivery of the hydride to polar π electrophiles. This study presents a series of reduction reactions of nitriles, amides, and imines as enabled by NaH in the presence of LiI or NaI. This remarkably simple protocol endows Na...
متن کاملEFFICIENT PHOSPHOROUS-SULFUR BOND REDUCTION IN BICYCLIC THIAPHOSPHORANES WITH TRI-n-BUTYLTIN HYDRIDE
High yield photolytic reduction of a series of thiaphosphoranes Z p SR to give Z p H with UV-light-induced tri-n-butyltin hydride through phosphoranyl radical Z p is described. This reaction is inhibited by a-methylstyrene and initiated by a radical initiator such as azobisisobutyronitrile
متن کاملReduction of Halomethanes with Lithium Aluminum Hydride
A study has been made of t he reactions of lithium aluminum hydride with methyl bromide, methylene chloride, meth ylene bromide, methylene iodide, chloroform, bromoform, and carbon t etrachloride. Except for hydrogen and unreacted h alida, essentia lly pure methane was formed in each case. The amount of hydrogen evolved increased with the n umber of halogen atoms in the molecule, reaching a max...
