摘要:
The present invention relates to a method of producing vicinal diols from a compound, the method characterised by the step of reacting the compound with a moderately strong acid in the presence one or more reagents capable of supplying hydroxyl groups wherein the moderately strong acid is a strongly reducing agent, but has a conjugate base that is a weak nucleophile. In preferred embodiments the moderately strong acid is hypophosphorous acid and the reagent(s) capable of supplying hydroxyl groups is 2-propanol in water, where 2-propanol is water soluable and organic. This method is particularly applicable to the production of vicinal diols of steroids, including lanosterol. Once vicinal diols of lanosterol diols are formed they are then capable of being further reacted to produce high purity lanosterol.
摘要:
The present invention relates to rigid chiral ligands useful in making catalysts for asymmetric synthesis. More particularly, the present invention relates to new monodentate and bidentate cyclic chiral phosphine ligands which are formed into catalysts to provide high selectivity of the enantiometric structure of the end-product.
摘要:
Improved oxidation methods are provided wherein a reaction mixture comprising a substrate to be oxidized (e.g., phenols, alkenes) and an oxidation catalyst (typically dispersed in an organic solvent system) is supplemented with a compressed gas which expands the reaction mixture, thus accelerating the oxidation reaction. In preferred practice pressurized subcritical or supercritical carbon dioxide is used as the expanding gas, which is introduced into the reaction mixture together with an oxidizing agent. The inventive methods improve the substrate conversion and product selectivity by increasing the solubility of the oxidizing agent in the reaction mixture.
