The present invention relates to a new series of compounds having general formula (I) and the optical isomer or enantiomer forms thereof, which belong to the family of sulforaphane derivatives. The invention also relates to the production method thereof. The invention further relates to the multiple medical (pharmaceutical, homeopathic and...

Sulforaphane (SFN), a phytochemical isolated from broccoli, is an important antitumoral compound with additional beneficial effect on other important diseases. However, the chemical instability of SFN has hampered its clinical use. In order to circumvent this problem, we report the first comparative study on the inclusion complexes of SFN and...

An improved method for the tert-butanesulfinylation of diacetone glucose with tert-butanesulfinyl chloride is reported. The method is based on a beneficial effect of catalytic DMAP, which enhances both the rate of the reaction and the enantioselectivity of the process to give (R S)-diastereomer 2 R S with a 94 % de and in quantitative yield. (R...

El absentismo estudiantil, la dificultad para mantener la atención en clase y la falta de organización del trabajo diario fuera del aula son tres de los problemas más importantes a los que se enfrenta el profesorado universitario, sobre todo en asignaturas de los primeros cursos, consideradas por el alumnado como difíciles, como es el caso de...

The aim of this study was to explore the immunomodulatory effects of the natural enantiomer (R)-Sulforaphane (SFN) and the possible signaling pathways involved in an ex vivo model of LPS-stimulated murine peritoneal macrophages. Furthermore, we studied the epigenetic changes induced by (R)-SFN as well as the post-translational modifications of...

The aim of this study was to develop an optimal synthetic route to obtain natural (R)-8-methylsulfinyloctyl isothiocyanate ((R)-8-OITC), present in watercress, based on the "DAG methodology" as well as to evaluate its potential antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects, exploring possible signaling pathways that could be involved in an ex vivo...

An improved fully stereoselective synthesis of both enantiomers of rimantadine and its trifluoromethylated analogues has been developed, using N-isopropylsulfinylimines as a starting chiral material, proving the superiority of the isopropyl group as a chiral inducer over the tert-butyl group in the case of hindered N-sulfinylimines.

Motivación: La utilización de compuestos estereoquímicamente puros presenta numerosas ventajas frente al uso de racematos en la industria farmacéutica, debido principalmente a la estrecha e importante relación existente entre quiralidad y actividad biológica. En este sentido, el trabajo que se presenta en esta comunicación se enmarca dentro de...

A detailed study on the diastereoselective oxidation of 1-thio-β-D-glucopyranosides is reported. It has been shown that the sense and the degree of stereochemical outcome of the oxidation are highly depen- dent on the substituent of the sulfur and on the protective group of the C2–OH. In the case of thioglyco-sides with a bulky aglycone, the...

An efficient sulfinamide/olefin based chiral ligand, MetSulfolefin, has been developed for the enantioselective rhodium-catalysed addition of aryl-boronic acids to trifluoromethyl ketones. This shelf-stable ligand is insensitive to air, oxygen and moisture, and it is obtained in only two high yielding steps from cheap commercially available...

A new type of chiral sulfinamide phosphinate catalysts with up to three stereogenic centers, readily accessible from commercially available starting materials, is reported. The naphthyl derivative SulPhos proved to be highly efficient in the organocatalytic asymmetric imine reduction, leading to a wide range of arylmethylamines in high yields...

Monosulfinamides and C2-symmetric bis-sulfinamides are convenient neutral chiral promoters in the allylation of acyl hydrazones, the nature of the spacer and the substituent at the sulfinyl sulfur are key elements for the enantioselectivity of the process.

A new family of sulfinamide/sulfoxide derivatives was synthesized as chiral bidentate ligands by stereoselective additions of methylsulfinyl carbanions to N-tert-butylsulfinylimines. The new ligands, with C1, pseudo-meso, and pseudo-C2 symmetries, were successfully assayed in Rh-catalyzed additions of arylboronic acids to activated ketones. The...
