“…The linker moiety tert -butyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate ( 11 ) was coupled with ATRA by a Mitsunobu reaction (Scheme ), which we previously have demonstrated as a reliable method for forming esters of ATRA . The following tert -butyl deprotection led to degradation of the ATRA skeleton under acidic conditions (5% TFA or ZnBr 2 in CH 2 Cl 2 or HF in MeCN), but using 2,6-lutidine and TMSOTf in CH 2 Cl 2 afforded the carboxylic acid 9 in a good yield (Scheme ).…”

The design of retinoid phospholipid prodrugs is described based on molecular dynamics simulations and cytotoxicity studies of synthetic retinoid esters. The prodrugs are degradable by secretory phospholipase A(2) IIA and have potential in liposomal drug delivery targeting tumors. We have synthesized four different retinoid phospholipid prodrugs and shown that they form particles in the liposome size region with average diameters of 94-118 nm. Upon subjection to phospholipase A(2), the lipid prodrugs were hydrolyzed, releasing cytotoxic retinoids and lysolipids. The formulated lipid prodrugs displayed IC(50) values in the range of 3-19 microM toward HT-29 and Colo205 colon cancer cells in the presence of phospholipase A(2), while no significant cell death was observed in the absence of the enzyme.

The development of oxochromium(VI)‐amine reagents as oxidants in organic synthesis has evolved since the early studies of Sisler which described the use of adducts of heterocyclic nitrogen bases and chromium(VI) oxide. The later work of Sarrett and coworkers in steroid synthesis soon established the utility of chromium(VI) oxide‐pyridine adducts as the first selective oxochromium(VI)‐amine reagents. Several modifications of the Sarrett oxidation followed. The present concern with the toxicity and environmental implications of oxochromium(VI) has provided encouragement for the study and use of catalytic oxochromium reagents in conjunction with stoichiometric co‐oxidants such as peroxides. Such technology is welcome, particularly when applied to the large‐scale preparations found in industry where the disposal of byproducts is a constant problem. Modified oxochromium(VI)‐amine reagents on polymer supports have been prepared and examined with the objective of providing a regenerable reagent system which is serviceable on a practical scale. A significant improvement in routine oxidations utilizing PCC and PDC entails the addition of adsorbents such as Celite®, alumina, silica gel, molecular sieves, or zeolites. The distinct advantages associated with the use of adsorbents in oxochromium(VI)‐amine‐mediated oxidations are discussed. The importance of buffers and desiccants in oxochromium(VI) oxidations is discussed. Virtually any number of oxochromium(VI)‐amine reagents may be prepared by varying the amine ligand and/or acid species associated with oxochromium(VI), and many of these compounds have been tested using simple substrate alcohols for oxidation to carbonyl compounds. The search for a milder and more efficient oxidant than the Sarrett‐type oxochromium(VI) reagent systems as well as the nonchromium oxidants based on dimethyl sulfoxide or dimethyl sulfide led to an examination of the utility of pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) in selective oxidations of alcohols. PCC was superior in terms of ease of preparation, shelf stability and economy. Since the introduction of PCC in 1975 the reagent has become a commercially available “textbook” compound and is usually the reagent of choice for routine large and small scale oxidations of alcohols to carbonyl compounds. Unlike the oxochromium(VI)‐pyridine adducts, PCC is an acid salt, and its properties have proven advantageous in a number of tandem oxidative reactions such as oxidative transpositions and oxidative cationic cyclizations. Several reviews address the versatility of PCC and its extension to many different types of oxidative conversions in single and multistep organic syntheses. While PCC was gaining widespread use, the utility of pyridinium dichromate (PDC) in solvents such as dimethylformamide (DMF) and dichloromethane was reported. PDC/DMF was useful for oxidizing allylic alcohols to the corresponding, α,β‐unsaturated carbonyl compounds and non‐conjugated aldehydes and primary alcohols to the corresponding carboxylic acids. The utilization of beyond the simple oxidation of alcohols, and it is now employed for various transformations. Many other types of substituted pyridines, nitrogen heterocycles and amines form chromates, dichromates, and chlorochromates which allow many different types of oxidative processes for a wide range of substrate molecules. This chapter surveys the many applications of oxochromium(VI) complexes in oxidative conversions of alcohols to carbonyl compounds. Alternative reagent systems based on modifications involving ligands, buffering agents, or adsorbents, as well as nonchromium(VI) oxidants are discussed. A variety of substrates have been included in the Tables so as to guide the synthetic chemist in selecting reagents and conditions that will be optimal for a given transformation. Oxidative conversions of alcohols through transpositions and cationic cyclizations giving carbonyl compounds as endproducts are included.
