- Acceptorless Dehydrogenation of Hydrocarbons by Noble-Metal-Free Hybrid Catalyst System
-
A hybrid catalysis that comprises an acridinium photoredox catalyst, a thiophosphate organocatalyst, and a nickel catalyst-enabled acceptorless dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons is reported. The cationic nickel complex played a critical role in the reactivity. This is the first example of acceptorless dehydrogenation of hydrocarbons by base metal catalysis under mild reaction conditions of visible light irradiation at room temperature.

- Enantioselective Hydrogen Atom Transfer: Discovery of Catalytic Promiscuity in Flavin-Dependent 'Ene'-Reductases
-
Flavin has long been known to function as a single electron reductant in biological settings, but this reactivity has rarely been observed with flavoproteins used in organic synthesis. Here we describe the discovery of an enantioselective radical dehalogenation pathway for α-bromoesters using flavin-dependent 'ene'-reductases. Mechanistic experiments support the role of flavin hydroquinone as a single electron reductant, flavin semiquinone as the hydrogen atom source, and the enzyme as the source of chirality.

- New Monocyclic, Bicyclic, and Tricyclic Ethynylcyanodienones as Activators of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE Pathway and Inhibitors of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase
-
A monocyclic compound 3 (3-ethynyl-3-methyl-6-oxocyclohexa-1,4-dienecarbonitrile) is a highly reactive Michael acceptor leading to reversible adducts with nucleophiles, which displays equal or greater potency than the pentacyclic triterpenoid CDDO in inflammation and carcinogenesis related assays. Recently, reversible covalent drugs, which bind with protein targets but not permanently, have been gaining attention because of their unique features. To explore such reversible covalent drugs, we have synthesized monocyclic, bicyclic, and tricyclic compounds containing 3 as an electrophilic fragment and evaluated them as activators of the Keap1/Nrf2/ARE pathway and inhibitors of iNOS. Notably, these compounds maintain the unique features of the chemical reactivity and biological potency of 3. Among them, a monocyclic compound 5 is the most potent in these assays while a tricyclic compound 14 displays a more robust and specific activation profile compared to 5. In conclusion, we demonstrate that 3 is a useful electrophilic fragment for exploring reversible covalent drugs. (Chemical Equation Presented).

- Synthesis and biological activity of both enantiomers of kujigamberol isolated from 85-million-years-old Kuji amber
-
The full-structure of a norlabdane terpenoid, kujigamberol (1) was determined by total synthesis. Key features of the total synthesis are (1) installation of isopentyl group through an o-lithiation of benzamide, (2) construction of tetralone by the RCM reaction, and (3) optical resolution of (±)-1 using chromatographical separation of the corresponding camphanates. X-ray crystallographical analysis of p-bromobenzoate obtained from the more polar camphanate that was identical with a natural derivative, revealed natural kujigamberol to have an S-configuration. Both the natural enantiomer and its (R)-antipode showed the same inhibitory activity toward the mutant yeast and HL-60 cells, while simple analogs without alkyl groups at the C-8 and 9 positions of (±)-1 had no such activity.

- A novel synthetic route to 2-arylalkanoic acids by a ruthenium-catalyzed chemoselective oxidation of furan rings
-
An efficient two-step synthesis of 2-arylalkanoic acids from 1-arylalkanols is described. Firstly, 1-arylalkylfuran derivatives were synthesized in high yields by the metal triflate catalyzed Friedel-Crafts alkylation of 2-methylfuran with 1-arylalkanols without employing anhydrous conditions. The chemoselective oxidation of the furan ring in 1-arylalkylfurans to carboxylic acid was then investigated. In a solvent system of hexane-EtOAc/H2O (1:3:4), the furan ring was selectively oxidized with 7 equivalents of NaIO 4 by using 0.5 mol% RuCl3 as catalyst to give 2-arylalkanoic acids in good yields. The selectivity of ruthenium oxidation was controlled by the solvent ratio of hexane-EtOAc. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

- Spirodienones. Part 6. Spiro-γ-lactones from 1-Benzyltetrahydro-1-naphthoic Acids and a 1-Benzyltetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxylic Acid
-
The synthetic potential of spiro-γ-lactones derived from 1-benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxylic acids is discussed.Previous oxidation studies have suggested that, for lactone formation, these acids should have no oxygen substituents at the 6 or 7 position of the isoquinoline, but such compounds have rarely been described.A series of 1-benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene-1-carboxylic acids were prepared as model compounds, and were oxidised in good yield by chemical or electrochemical methods to spiro-γ-lactones.Routes to corresponding tetrahydroisoquinoline-1-carboxylic acids, unsubstituted on the isoquinoline benzene ring, were developed.In general, oxidation of these acids did not give lactones, but bromination of one phenolic acid did yield a dibromo spiro-γ-lactone.

- Radical Pathways of Coal Dissolution in Hydrogen Donor Media. 2. β Scission and 1,2 Aryl Migration Reactions of Radicals Derived from Methylindans and Tetralin at 327-627 deg C
-
The 1,2-aryl migration and fragmentation reactions of 1-indanylmethyl (1), 2-tetralyl (2), 2-indanylmethyl (3), 1-tetralyl (4), 2-methyl-1-indanyl (5), and 1-methyl-2-indanyl (6) radicals were studied by flash vacuum pyrolysis of the tert-butyl perester precursors at 327-627 deg C and 10-2 torr.Radicals 1 and 2 are interconverted via 1,2 aryl migration which is readily reversible at all temperatures.This equilibrium is depleted by β scission of 1 and recyclization to 4 and by β scission of 2 followed by recyclization to 2 or 3 in modest yields.The reverse neophyle-like rearrangement of 2 to 1 occurs with a lower activation barrier than β-scission of 1 to form a 2-(o-vinylphenyl)ethyl radical.Enthalpies, entropies, and free energies of reactions were calculated for the above reactions from group additivity parameters, and activation energies were estimated from values reported for simple alkyl radicals.It is shown that the β scission of 4 and recyclization to 1 is important only at very high temperatures (>500 deg C) as a mechanism for the isomerization of tetralin and related hydroaromatic structures to alkylindans and that the reverse neophyl-like rearrangement of 2 to 1 is the favored pathway for isomerizations observed during dissolution of coal in hydroaromatic media at elevated temperatures.
