Preparation of 2,5-anhydroarabitol Mono, Di, and Tri Oleates

[0052]Experimental: A flame dried, single neck, 50 mL round bottomed flask equipped with a PTFE coated magnetic stir bar was charged with 1 g of 2,5-anhydroarabitol (7.46 mmol), 3.37 g of oleoyl chloride (11.12 mmol), 5 mL of pyridine, and 20 mL of methylene chloride. The reaction was stirred at room temperature overnight. After this time, excess solvent was removed via rotary evaporation (50° C., 25 torr) and the dark brown residue taken up in a minimum volume of methylene chloride. The mixture was then charged to a pre-fabricated silica gel column, where three separate fractions were collected deploying a methylene chloride / methanol gradient. The first fraction manifested an Rf=0.92 (10:1 hexane / methanol), and furnished a viscous oil after drying. 1H and 13C NMR confirmed the identity as 2,5-anhydroarabitol trioleate. The second fraction manifested an Rf=0.61 (10:1 hexane / methanol), furnishing a pale yellow viscous oil af...

Synthesis of Triflated 2,5-Anhydroarabitol Monooleates

[0053]Experimental: A flame dried, single neck, 25 mL round bottomed flask equipped with a PTFE coated magnetic stir bar was charged with 500 mg of 2,5-anhydroarabitol monooleates (1.25 mmol), 404 uL of pyridine (5.02 mmol), and 10 mL of anhydrous methylene chloride. The flask stoppered with a rubber septum and then immersed in a saturated brine / ice bath (˜−10° C.). While vigorously stirring, 463 uL of triflic anhydride (2.75 mmol) was added drop wise over a period of 20 min. After addition, the saline bath was removed and reaction continued overnight. The next morning a light yellow solution was observed; excess solvent and pyridine was removed under reduced pressure, and the dark yellow residue taken up in a minimum amount of chloroform, which was then charged to a prefabricated silica gel column that employed a hexanes / ethyl acetate gradient. The triflated title compounds eluted at a 5:1 hexanes / ethyl acetate proportion, furni...

Synthesis of AEEA-Derivitized 2,5-Anhydroarabitol Monooleates

[0054]Experimental: An oven dried, 25 mL round bottomed flask equipped with a PTFE coated magnetic stir bar was charged with 500 mg of triflated 2,5-anhydroarabitol monooleates (0.754 mmol), 168 uL of 2-((2-aminoethyl)amino)ethanol (AEEA, 1.66 mmol), and 10 mL of absolute ethanol. A reflux condenser was affixed to the neck, and, while vigorously stirring, the mixture was heated to 50° C. overnight. After this time, TLC (neutral alumina, isocratic ethanol eluent) indicated that all of the starting triflate had been consumed, manifesting a single product with an Rf=0.23. The solution was then cooled to room temperature, then poured directly onto a prefabricated Brockmann I activated, neutral alumina column where the AEEA targets were observed to elute using an isocratic ethanol mobile phase. After drying under high vacuum for period of 7 days, 281 mg of the AEEA derivitized monooleates were retained as a light yellow semisol...

Abstract

Amphipathic amine-esters derived from anhydropentitols are prepared through a short sequence of synthetic steps. The process is initiated by the esterification of an anhydropentitol with a fatty acid chloride or a lipase enzyme to form anhydropentitol fatty acid esters, preferably leaving at least one free hydroxyl. The free hydroxyl group(s) are then sulfonated, forming sulfonated anhydropentitol fatty acid esters. The sulfonyl moiety on the sulfonated anhydropentitol fatty acid esters are then subject to nucleophilic displacement by a hydrophilic moiety, illustrated by a primary amine such as AEE or AEEA. The synthetic pathway is efficient and affords modest to high yields of target amphiphilic compounds, which are useful at least as surfactants and plasticizer substitutes for petroleum derived compounds.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims priority to U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No 62 / 039,091 which was filed on Aug. 19, 2014 and U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No 62 / 093,092 which was filed on Dec. 17, 2014, each of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present disclosure describes preparation of derivatives from anhydropentitols, which are cyclic triols derived from the dehydrative reduction of pentitols. The derivatives include fatty acid esters, sulfonated tetrahydrofuran fatty acid esters, and amphiphilic compounds having a tetrahydrofuran ring nucleus.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The imminent depletion of petroleum reserves, which have served as the abundant, inexpensive source of innumerable specialty and commodity chemicals for over a century, has obliged scientists around the world to implement cutting edge research programs in search for more sustainable su...
