Synthèse asymétrique
vignette|Structure chimique de BINAP La synthèse asymétrique consiste à préparer un produit sous forme d'un énantiomère en partant d'une matière première achirale. Cette transformation nécessite l'ajout d'un composé chiral qui est temporairement lié au substrat, à un réactif ou à un catalyseur. Les principaux types de synthèse asymétrique sont les synthèses : diastéréosélective énantiosélective stœchiométrique catalytique Spécificité et sélectivité Effets non linéaires en catalyse asymétrique Catégorie:Stér
Reagent
In chemistry, a reagent (riˈeɪdʒənt ) or analytical reagent is a substance or compound added to a system to cause a chemical reaction, or test if one occurs. The terms reactant and reagent are often used interchangeably, but reactant specifies a substance consumed in the course of a chemical reaction. Solvents, though involved in the reaction mechanism, are usually not called reactants. Similarly, catalysts are not consumed by the reaction, so they are not reactants.
Ojima lactam
The Ojima lactam is an organic compound of some importance in the commercial production of Taxol. This lactam was first synthesized by Iwao Ojima. The organic synthesis is an illustration of asymmetric synthesis via a chiral auxiliary. The reaction centers around an imine - lithium enolate cycloaddition. In order to ensure the correct stereochemistry (the phenyl group and the silyl ether must adopt a cis configuration) in the β-lactam a chiral auxiliary is used in the enolate synthesis.
Rendement chimique
Le rendement chimique rend compte de l'efficacité de la réaction chimique étudiée. Le rendement désigne le rapport entre la quantité de produit obtenue et la quantité maximale qui serait obtenue si la réaction était totale. Le rendement théorique est la quantité du produit prévue par un calcul stœchiométrique fondée sur les nombres de moles de tout réactif en présence. Ce calcul suppose qu'une seule réaction a lieu et que le réactif limitant réagit complètement.
Nicolaou Taxol total synthesis
The Nicolaou Taxol total synthesis, published by K. C. Nicolaou and his group in 1994 concerns the total synthesis of taxol. Taxol is an important drug in the treatment of cancer but also expensive because the compound is harvested from a scarce resource, namely the pacific yew. This synthetic route to taxol is one of several; other groups have presented their own solutions, notably the group of Holton with a linear synthesis starting from borneol, the Samuel Danishefsky group starting from the Wieland-Miescher ketone and the Wender group from pinene.
Danishefsky Taxol total synthesis
The Danishefsky Taxol total synthesis in organic chemistry is an important third Taxol synthesis published by the group of Samuel Danishefsky in 1996 two years after the first two efforts described in the Holton Taxol total synthesis and the Nicolaou Taxol total synthesis. Combined they provide a good insight in the application of organic chemistry in total synthesis. Danishefsky's route to Taxol has many similarities with that of Nicolaou. Both are examples of convergent synthesis with a coupling of the A and the C ring from two precursors.
Kinetic resolution
In organic chemistry, kinetic resolution is a means of differentiating two enantiomers in a racemic mixture. In kinetic resolution, two enantiomers react with different reaction rates in a chemical reaction with a chiral catalyst or reagent, resulting in an enantioenriched sample of the less reactive enantiomer. As opposed to chiral resolution, kinetic resolution does not rely on different physical properties of diastereomeric products, but rather on the different chemical properties of the racemic starting materials.
Wender Taxol total synthesis
Wender Taxol total synthesis in organic chemistry describes a Taxol total synthesis (one of six to date) by the group of Paul Wender at Stanford University published in 1997. This synthesis has much in common with the Holton Taxol total synthesis in that it is a linear synthesis starting from a naturally occurring compound with ring construction in the order A,B,C,D. The Wender effort is shorter by approximately 10 steps. Raw materials for the preparation of Taxol by this route include verbenone, prenyl bromine, allyl bromide, propiolic acid, Gilman reagent, and Eschenmoser's salt.
Hémisynthèse
Semisynthesis, or partial chemical synthesis, is a type of chemical synthesis that uses chemical compounds isolated from natural sources (such as microbial cell cultures or plant material) as the starting materials to produce novel compounds with distinct chemical and medicinal properties. The novel compounds generally have a high molecular weight or a complex molecular structure, more so than those produced by total synthesis from simple starting materials.
Synthèse totale
En chimie organique, la synthèse totale est en principe la synthèse chimique complète de molécules organiques à partir de morceaux plus simples et habituellement sans recourir à des processus biologiques. Dans la pratique, ces morceaux plus simples sont commercialement disponibles en grandes quantités et sont souvent des précurseurs pétrochimiques. Parfois, des produits « naturels » (comme le sucre) sont utilisés comme point de départ : il est fait l'hypothèse qu'ils sont fabriqués naturellement ou qu'ils peuvent être recréés à partir de leur éléments constitutifs.
