In 2022,Chen, Wenchang; Yi, Xiaofen; Qu, Hongmin; Chen, Yu; Tang, Pei; Chen, Fener published an article in Chinese Chemical Letters. The title of the article was 《Concise syntheses of 13-methylprotoberberine and 13-methyltetrahydroprotoberberine alkaloids》.Product Details of 210169-54-3 The author mentioned the following in the article:
The concise syntheses of eight 13-methylprotoberberine (13-MePB) and eight enantioenriched 13-methyltetrahydroprotoberberine (13-MeTHPB) alkaloids have been achieved in a tactically modular fashion. This synthetic work features a one-pot metal-free Pictet-Spengler/Friedel-Crafts hydroxyalkylation/dehydration/oxidation sequence and a following highly enantioselective Ir-catalyzed hydrogenation. Given such brevity and modularity, our developed synthetic route would be greatly beneficial to the efficient syntheses of existing natural products and new fully synthetic variants of 13-MePB and 13-MeTHPB family. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as (S)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole(cas: 210169-54-3Product Details of 210169-54-3)
(S)-5,5′-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-4,4′-bi-1,3-benzodioxole(cas: 210169-54-3) may be used for: rhodium-catalyzed asymmetric formal olefination or cycloaddition of 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds with 1,6-diynes or 1,6-enynes, stereoselective preparation of homoallylic alcohols via Ir-catalyzed stereoselective transfer hydrogenative crotylation of an allylic acetate with alcohols or aldehydesProduct Details of 210169-54-3
