- Synthesis of two novel cysteine-functionalized thiophenes
-
The synthetic approach to methyl N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-S-(3-thienyl)-L- cysteinate (1) and methyl N-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)-S-[2-(3-thienyl)ethyl]-L- cysteinate (2) through tosylate intermediates is reported and discussed. These compounds, which combine the properties of the cysteine side-chain with those of the thiophene ring represent both potential bioactive molecules and interesting synthons for the development of new materials.

- Preparation of a New Spirobi[thieno[2,3- c ]pyran] and Its Selective Mono- and Dimetalation: Application for the Preparation of Soluble Conjugated Oligothiophenes and Pyrene Derivatives
-
3-Thienylacetic acid was converted in six steps into a new spirobi[thieno[2,3-c]pyran] (overall yield: 52%). The spirobi[thieno[2,3-c]pyran] was selectively mono- or dimetalated with butyllithium and then transmetalated with zinc chloride; cross-coupling reaction with various aryl or heteroaryl bromides, including bromo-oligothiophenes, acid chlorides, and 1-bromopyrene, produced the corresponding spiro derivatives in high yields.

- Synthesis and evaluation of 4′,5′-dihydrospiro[piperidine-4,7′-thieno[2,3-c]pyran] analogues against both active and dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis
-
Need for new drugs to fight against tuberculosis (TB) is increasing day by day. In the present work we have taken a spiro compound (GSK 2200150A) reported by GSK as a lead and we modified the structure of the lead to study the antitubercular activity. For structure activity profiling twenty-one molecules have been synthesized, characterized and evaluated for their antimycobacterial potency against both active and dormant TB. Compound 06, 1-((4-methoxyphenyl)sulfonyl)-4′,5′-dihydrospiro[piperidine-4,7′-thieno[2,3-c]pyran] was found to be the most potent compound (MIC: 8.23 μM) in active TB and was less effective than the lead but more potent than standard first line drug ethambutol. It was also found to be more efficacious than Isoniazid and Rifampicin and equipotent as Moxifloxacin against dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Compound 06 also showed good inhibitory potential against over expressed latent MTB enzyme lysine ε-amino transferase with an IC50 of 1.04 ± 0.32 μM. This compound is a good candidate for drug development owing to potential against both active and dormant stages of MTB.

- Synthesis of an ORL-1 Receptor Antagonist via a Radical Bromination and Deoxyfluorination to Afford a gem-Difluorospirocycle
-
The development of a synthesis of an ORL-1 receptor antagonist is described. The key process improvements in the synthetic sequence include a multikilogram bromination process and the development of a convergent coupling strategy. The process improvements resulted in the production of the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) on a multikilogram scale.

- α-Alkylidene-γ-butyrolactone synthesis via one-pot C-H insertion/olefination: substrate scope and the total synthesis of (±)-cedarmycins A and B
-
Abstract A system for the synthesis of α-alkylidene-γ-butyrolactones via a one-pot C-H insertion/olefination sequence is described. The process is based on the rhodium catalysed C-H insertion reaction of α-diazo-α-(diethoxyphosphoryl)acetates. The mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity and ready availability of starting materials are all key features. A wide range of successful reaction systems are reported (41 examples) highlighting the generality of the method. The application of this method in the total synthesis of the natural products (±)-cedarmycins A and B is also described.

- Reduction of aromatic and aliphatic esters using the reducing systems MoO2(acac)2 or V(O)(OiPr)3 in combination with 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane
-
An efficient reduction of aromatic and aliphatic esters with 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane in combination with [MoO2(acac) 2] or [V(O)(OiPr)3] is reported. In the former system, the presence of triphenylphosphane oxide allows high conversion and good isolated yield to be reached. For the latter system, no ligand is necessary to obtain the corresponding alcohols with similar results. 1,1,3,3-Tetramethyldisiloxane in association with [MoO2(acac)2] or [V(O)(OiPr)3] was found to efficiently reduce aliphatic and aromatic esters.

- Novel, one-pot procedure for the synthesis of 2-arylethanol derivatives
-
An efficient one-pot synthesis of 2-arylethanol derivatives using ethylene sulfate as a C2 building block is described. High yields are obtained upon trapping of aryllithium intermediates generated by halogen-metal exchange or directed metalation with ethylene sulfate. The resulting heteroaryl or phenylethanol derivatives represent versatile building blocks for the synthesis of annulated pyran derivatives by oxa-Pictet-Spengler reaction.

- Triflic anhydride-promoted cyclization of sulfides: A convenient synthesis of fused sulfur heterocycles
-
A new approach to the synthesis of annulated sulfur heterocycles based on triflic anhydride-promoted cyclization of the hetaryl(aryl) containing alkyl sulfides was elaborated. Smooth demethylation of initially formed cyclic sulfonium salts by treatment with triethylamine afforded a number of five-, six- and seven-membered fused sulfur heterocycles. Unexpected ring opening took place in the reaction of diethylamine with 5-membered sulfonium salts.

- Rapid Syntheses of Oligo(2,5-thiophene ethynylene)s with Thioester Termini: Potential Molecular Scale Wires with Alligator Clips
-
The syntheses of soluble oligo(3-ethyl-2,5-thiophene ethynylene)s via an iterative divergent/ convergent approach starting from 3-ethyl-2-(trimethylsilylethynyl)thiophene are described. The monomer, dimer, tetramer, octamer, and 16-mer were synthesized. The 16-mer is 100 A long in its minimized extended zigzag conformation. At each stage in the iteration, the length of the framework doubles. Only three sets of reaction conditions are needed for the entire iterative synthetic sequence: an iodination, a protodesilylation, and a Pd/Cu-catalyzed cross coupling. The oligomers were characterized spectroscopically and by mass spectrometry. The optical properties are presented which show that at the octamer stage, the optical absorbance maximum is nearly saturated. The size exclusion chromatography values for the number average weights, relative to polystyrene, illustrate the tremendous differences in the hydrodynamic volume of these rigid rod oligomers verses the random coils of polystyrene. These differences become quite apparent at the octamer stage. Attachment of thiol end groups, protected as the thioacetyl moieties, was achieved. These serve as binding sites for adhesion to gold surfaces. In some cases, one end of the oligomeric chains were capped with a thiol group so that the surface attachments to gold could be studied. In other cases, thiol groups were affixed to both ends of the molecular chains so that future conduction studies could be done between proximal metallic probes. The rigid rod conjugated oligomers may act as molecular wires in molecular scale electronic devices, and they also serve as useful models for understanding analogous bulk polymers.

- CHIROPTICAL PROPERTIES OF REGIOREGULAR CHIRAL POLYTHIOPHENES
-
The synthesis and (chir)optical properties of a highly regioregular optically active 3-substituted polythiophene are reported.Using the McCullough method a regioselectivity of more than 98percent is found for the head-to-tail coupling in 3-polythiophene 1.Contrary to the small effects observed for the regiorandom analogue 2, made by FeCl3-polymerization, 1 shows a strong induced optical activity in its ?-?* transition, provided the polymer is in its almost coplanar associated form.This association with a strong conformational rigidity, a prerequisite for a stable chirality from a helical structure of 1, is found in poor-solvents as well as in the solid state.In a good solvent like CHCl3 the disordered non-planar structure is optically inactive in its backbone.The transfer to an associated form is accompanied with solvatochromism and thermochromism in absorption, while significant changes in fluorescence behaviour and in the circular dichroism spectra are observed.All techniques show fine structure in the almost coplanar state while all absorptions are exciton coupled, reflecting the Davydov splitting of the coupled excited states.
