Copper(II) Trifluoromethanesulfonate-Induced Cleavage Oxygenation of Allylic Hydroperoxides Derived from Qinghao Acid in the Synthesis of Qinghaosu Derivatives: Evidence for the Intermediacy of Enols

Abstract

The semisynthesis of qinghaosu (artemisinin) derivatives from qinghao (artemisinic) acid and related compounds is gaining increasing importance despite the fact that the key step in the transformation, the cleavage oxygenation of the intermediate allylic hydroperoxides to form peroxy hemiacetals, is not well understood. It has been found that the allylic hydroperoxide 10 derived from the methyl ester of qinghao acid under catalysis by trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) in CH2Cl2or copper(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate [Cu(OTf)2] in MeCN forms a thermally labile intermediate. Chromatographic isolation of the intermediate at low temperature and analysis by low-temperature 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopies showed it to be the simple enol 16a, a compound possessing unexpected stability. The enol 16a undergoes autoxidation at room temperature or facile oxygenation at —20 °C in the presence of Cu(II) and oxygen to give the peroxy hemiacetal 12. Thus, the catalyzed cleavage of cyclic allylic hydroperoxides proceeds via enol intermediates and it would seem that the propensity for subsequent oxygenation is related to the stability of the enol.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Quantitative studies monitoring the decline of dihydroartemisinic acid (480) and increase of artemisinin (495) during leaf development and senescence have confirmed that an intermediate such as 481 is probably involved in this conversion.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
