Abstract
The antiausterity natural product (±)-uvaridacol L was synthesized for the first time in seven steps from myo-inositol. The key reaction of this synthesis, axial selective dibenzoylation of myo-inositol orthoformate, was achieved using a catalytic amount of tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF). The preferential cytotoxicity of racemic uvaridacol L against cancer cell lines able to adapt to nutrient deprivation was also evaluated under nutrient deprived conditions. Morphological evaluation was also carried out.

Khademi Z, Nikoofar K. Applications of alkyl orthoesters as valuable substrates in organic transformations, focusing on reaction media. RSC Adv 2020; 10:30314-30397. [PMID: 35559005 PMCID: PMC9092620 DOI: 10.1039/d0ra05276k] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/16/2020] [Accepted: 07/27/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
In this review we focus on applications of alkyl orthoesters as valuable and efficient substrates to perform various classes of two-component and multi-component organic reactions. The article has classified them according to two aspects, which are: (i) a focus on the reaction medium (solvent-free conditions, aqueous media, and organic solvents); and (ii) an examination of product structures. Reaction accomplishment under solvent-free conditions is an eco-friendly process with the absence of volatile toxic solvents, which puts it in line with green chemistry goals. Water is an interesting choice in organic transformations due to its inexpensiveness and safety. The authors hope their assessment will help chemists to attain new approaches for utilizing alkyl orthoesters in various organic synthetic methods. The review covers the corresponding literature up to the beginning of 2020.

Abstract
Synthetic sequences starting from commercially available myo-inositol necessarily involve protection-deprotection strategies of its six hydroxyl groups. Several strategies have been developed/attempted over the last several decades leading to the synthesis of naturally occurring phosphoinositols, their analogs, and cyclitol derivatives. Of late, myo-inositol 1,3-acetals, which can be obtained by the reductive cleavage of myo-inositol orthoesters have emerged as early intermediates for the synthesis of phosphorylated and other inositol derivatives. This mini-review is an attempt to illustrate the economy and convenience of using myo-inositol 1,3-acetals as early intermediates during syntheses from myo-inositol.

Abstract
Acid hydrolysis of myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoesters, apart from orthoformates, exclusively affords the corresponding 2-O-acyl myo-inositol products via a 1,2-bridged five-membered ring dioxolanylium ion intermediate observed by NMR spectroscopy. These C-2-substituted inositol derivatives provide valuable precursors for rapid and highly efficient routes to 2-O-acyl inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphates and myo-inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate with biologically interesting and anticancer properties. Deuterium incorporation into the α-methylene group of such alkyl ester products (2-O-C(O)CD2R), when the analogous alkyl orthoester is treated with deuterated acid, is established utilizing the novel orthoester myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthobutyrate as an example. Such deuterated ester products provide intermediates for deuterium-labeled synthetic analogues. Investigation into this selective formation of 2-O-ester products and the deuterium incorporation is presented with proposed mechanisms from NMR experiments.

Abstract
Mammalian cells contain a pool of iron that is not strongly bound to proteins, which can be detected with fluorescent chelating probes. The cellular ligands of this biologically important "chelatable", "labile" or "transit" iron are not known. Proposed ligands are problematic, because they are saturated by magnesium under cellular conditions and/or because they are not "safe", i.e. they allow iron to catalyse hydroxyl radical formation. Among small cellular molecules, certain inositol phosphates (InsPs) excel at complexing Fe(3+) in such a "safe" manner in vitro. However, we previously calculated that the most abundant InsP, inositol hexakisphosphate, cannot interact with Fe(3+) in the presence of cellular concentrations of Mg(2+). In this work, we study the metal complexation behaviour of inositol 1,2,3-trisphosphate [Ins(1,2,3)P(3)], a cellular constituent of unknown function and the simplest InsP to display high-affinity, "safe", iron complexation. We report thermodynamic constants for the interaction of Ins(1,2,3)P(3) with Na(+), K(+), Mg(2+), Ca(2+), Cu(2+), Fe(2+) and Fe(3+). Our calculations indicate that Ins(1,2,3)P(3) can be expected to complex all available Fe(3+) in a quantitative, 1:1 reaction, both in cytosol/nucleus and in acidic compartments, in which an important labile iron subpool is thought to exist. In addition, we calculate that the fluorescent iron probe calcein would strip Fe(3+) from Ins(1,2,3)P(3) under cellular conditions, and hence labile iron detected using this probe may include iron bound to Ins(1,2,3)P(3). Therefore Ins(1,2,3)P(3) is the first viable proposal for a transit iron ligand.

Abstract
Racemic 2,4-di-O-acyl-myo-inosityl 1,3,5-orthoesters undergo transesterification catalyzed by sodium carbonate with varying ease of reaction in the solid state; reactions in solution and melt do not show such varied differences. An interesting crystal of a 1:1 molecular complex of highly reactive racemic 2,4-di-O-benzoyl-myo-inosityl 1,3,5-orthoformate and its orthoacetate analogue exhibited better reactivity than the latter component alone. Single-crystal X-ray structures of the reactants have been correlated with the observed differences in the acyl-transfer efficiencies in the solid state. Although each of the derivatives helically self-assembles around the crystallographic 2(1) axis linked through O-H...O hydrogen bonding, the pre-organization of the reactive groups (C=O [El] and OH [Nu]), C-H...O and the C-H...pi interactions are significantly more favourable for the reactive derivatives than the less reactive ones. Bond-length distributions also showed differences; the O-C bond of the axial benzoyl group, which gets cleaved during the reaction, is longer (1.345-1.361 A) relative to the chemically equivalent O-C bond of the equatorial benzoyl group (1.316-1.344 A) in the reactive derivatives. These bond-length differences are not significant in the less reactive derivatives. The overall molecular organization is different too; the strikingly discrete helices, which may be viewed as "reaction tunnels" and are held by interhelical interactions, are clearly evident in the reactive derivatives in comparison with the less reactive ones.

Abstract
A convenient high yielding method for the preparation of scyllo-inositol and its orthoformate from myo-inositol, without involving chromatography is described. myo-Inositol 1,3,5-orthoformate was benzoylated to obtain 2-O-benzoyl-myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoformate. This diol was tosylated and the benzoyl group removed by aminolysis in a one-pot procedure to obtain 4,6-di-O-tosyl-myo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoformate. Swern oxidation of the ditosylate, followed by sodium borohydride reduction and methanolysis of tosylates gave scyllo-inositol 1,3,5-orthoformate (isolated as the triacetate). Aminolysis of the acetates followed by acid hydrolysis of the orthoformate moiety with trifluoroacetic acid gave scyllo-inositol in an overall yield of 64%.

Abstract
The regioselectivity of sulfonylation of myo-inositol orthoesters was controlled by the use of different bases to obtain the desired sulfonate. Monosulfonylation of myo-inositol orthoesters in the presence of one equivalent of sodium hydride or triethylamine resulted in the sulfonylation of the 4-hydroxyl group. The use of pyridine as a base for the same reaction resulted in sulfonylation of the 2-hydroxyl group. Disulfonylation of these orthoesters in the presence of excess sodium hydride yielded the 4,6-di-O-sulfonylated orthoesters. However, the use of triethylamine or pyridine instead of sodium hydride yielded the 2,4-di-O-sulfonylated orthoester. Sulfonylated derivatives of myo-inositol orthoesters were stable to conditions of O-alkylation but were cleaved using magnesium/methanol or sodium methoxide in methanol to regenerate the corresponding myo-inositol orthoester derivative. These new methods of protection-deprotection have been used: (i) for the efficient synthesis of enantiomers of 2,4-di-O-benzyl-myo-inositol, which are precursors for the synthesis of D- and L-myo-inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate; (ii) for the preparation of 2-O-benzyl-myo-inositol which is a precursor for the preparation of myo-inositol 1,3,4,5,6-pentakisphosphate.

Abstract
myo-Inositol-derived crown ethers having varying relative orientations (1,3-diaxial, 1,2-diequatorial, and 1,2-axial-equatorial) of the oxygen atoms in the ionophoric ring were synthesized and the extent of their binding with picrates of alkali metals, ammonia, and silver were estimated. These crown ethers bind very well with potassium and silver picrates and show good to moderate binding toward lithium, sodium, cesium, and ammonium picrates. These myo-inositol-derived crown ethers exhibit very strong binding for silver, even though they do not have sulfur or nitrogen coordinating sites in them, which are known to have high affinity for silver. The ratio of binding constants for silver to other ions tested varies from 10(2) to 10(5). The ion selectivity and the strength of binding are dependent on the relative orientation of the oxygen atoms in the ionophoric ring as well as on the size of the macrocyclic ring.
