A range of sulfur-containing amides have been fluorinated with the hypervalent iodine difluoride reagents 1, and two principal reaction pathways identified. Cephalosporin esters 2 having a heteroatom in the α-position to sulfur undergo fluorination in DCM with cleavage of the carbon–sulfur bond to form novel fluorinated β-lactams 4. Sulfides with electron-withdrawing groups in the α-position undergo α-fluorination in a process analogous to the classical Pummerer reaction. This Fluoro-Pummerer reaction has been exemplified for a range of simple α-phenylsulfanylacetamides 14–19. When β-hydrogens are present in the substrate a different route is followed, with deprotonation by basic fluoride taking place to yield vinyl sulfides 41–43. When an excess of the fluorinating reagent is used these vinyl sulfides can undergo further reaction in a novel tandem Pummerer-Additive-Pummerer process to yield α,β-difluoro sulfides 45–47.

Nonactic acid 1 has been synthesized in 12 steps from readily available (S)-(−)-ethyl lactate in 20% overall yield. The key (“NARC”) sequence in this method involved anti-aldol addition of acylsultam 3 with aldehyde 4 followed by intramolecular oxymercuration. The efficiency and selectivity of the anti-aldol reaction was found to be critically dependent upon the ratio of Lewis acid to base. The intramolecular oxymercuration was also found to be highly diastereoselective and was attributed to allylic control consistent with previous studies in our group.

In situ IR and multinuclear NMR are used to monitor the formation of protonated diacetylketene tetrachloroaluminate (1) in the reaction of acetyl chloride and AlCl3 in both dichloromethane and in 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([bmim]Cl). The existence of a fast equilibrium between two enolic forms of protonated diacetylketene (with [AlCl4]− as the counterion) is established. The structure of 1 is determined by the rarely used 13C{1H}–13C{1H} COSY experiment.

A novel tri(propylene glycol) glycerolate diacrylate cross-linked polystyrene support for solid phase peptide synthesis was prepared by aqueous radical suspension polymerization. The peptides were grown from the hydroxy functionality of the cross-linker in the polymer and this makes it unique among other styrene-based polymer supports that are currently used in polypeptide synthesis. The role of the polymer support in peptide synthesis was established by studies delineating the optimization of synthetic steps involved in solid phase synthesis. The optimization studies include C-terminal amino acid incorporation, Nα-Fmoc and Boc-deprotection, acylation reactions and the removal of the target peptide from the support. The dependence between the nature and extent of cross-linking of the polymer backbone and the reactivity of the attached amino groups was investigated by carrying out a reactivity study on amide bond formation compared with Merrifield resin. The resin-like behavior of the new support was studied by synthesizing a ‘difficult’ sequence of the (34–42) fragment of β-amyloid peptide (1–42) and compared with commercially available Merrifield and Sheppard resins. The synthetic utility of the support was established by synthesizing a 23-residue NR 2B peptide substrate of Ca2+/calmodulin binding peptide in high yield and purity. Better solvation of the resin beads, enhanced coupling efficiency in the peptide synthetic steps and the high yield and purity of the peptides synthesized highlights the positive role of the cross-linker in the new polystyrene support.

A simple, effective procedure for the preparation of 4-nitroalkanoates 6–9 by the Michael reaction of nitroalkanes 2–5 with the acrylate 1 is described. The primary nitro adduct 6 undergoes isomerization to hydroxamic acid 10 while heated in boiling nitromethane. Consecutive reactions of the latter compound lead to the formation of N-hydroxysuccinimide 11 and its N-ethoxy derivative 12. The spontaneous Nef reaction of the mother 4-nitrobutanoic acid 15 gives N-hydroxysuccinimide 14. The analogous reaction of secondary nitroalkanoic acids 16 and 17 provides 4-oxoalkanoic acids 18 and 19, respectively. Intramolecular participation by the carboxylic acid group in the Nef reaction is proposed.

Both γ-irradiation and Fenton reaction generate oxidising species that damage isolated DNA. The comparison of the distribution of oxidised bases suggested that the Fenton reaction produces hydroxyl radicals like ionizing radiation. However, the former process was also found to generate a reducing species that increased the yield of formamidopyrimidine derivatives at the expense of the 8-oxo compounds of purine bases. Another peculiarity of the Fenton reaction was its ability to induce the formation, though in very low yield, of the malonaldehyde-2′-deoxyguanosine adduct in DNA, likely via the formation of base propenals upon degradation of the 2-deoxyribose unit.

A novel route for the preparation of non-racemic 1-[α-(1-azacycloalkyl)benzyl]-2-naphthols was developed, which involves regioselective N-cycloalkylation of the Betti base with dials in the presence of NaBH3CN to give 1-azacycloalka[2,1-b]oxazine followed by the selective cleavage of a C–O bond with LiAlH4. As a new family of chiral ligands, their application in the enantioselective addition of diethylzinc to aryl aldehydes was tested. The ligands incorporating pyrrolidine and piperidine led to highly efficient asymmetric induction to give products in up to 96% yield and 99% ee.
