Application

2-(3-Chloropropyl)-1,3-dioxolane (2-(3′-chloropropyl)-1,3-dioxolane) is a masked γ-chlorobutyraldehyde and was used for the introduction of 3-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)propyl moiety. It was also used in the synthesis of:
  • (±)-histrionicotoxin and (±)-histrionicotoxin 235A using a two-directional strategy
  • 4-iodobutyraldehyde, 5-iodovaleraldehyde and 5-iodo-2-petanone
  • corresponding phosphonate

A convenient, high yield conversion of doxorubicin to 3'-deamino-3'-(2''-pyrroline-1''-yl)doxorubicin is described. This daunosamine-modified analog of doxorubicin is 500-1000 times more active in vitro than doxorubicin. The conversion is effected by using a 30-fold excess of 4-iodobutyraldehyde in anhydrous dimethylformamide. The
