- syn-Selective Michael Reaction of α-Branched Aryl Acetaldehydes with Nitroolefins Promoted by Squaric Amino Acid Derived Bifunctional Br?nsted Bases
-
Here we describe a direct access to 2,2,3-trisubstituted syn γ-nitroaldehydes by addition of α-branched aryl acetaldehydes to nitroolefins promoted by a cinchona based squaric acid-derived amino acid peptide. Different α-methyl arylacetaldehydes react with β-aromatic and β-alkyl nitroolefins to afford the Michael adducts in high enantioselectivity and syn-selectivity. NMR experiments and DFT calculations predict the reaction to occur through the intermediacy of E-enolate. The interaction between the substrates and the catalyst follows Pápai's model, wherein an intramolecular H-bond interaction in the catalyst between the NH group of one of the tert-leucines and the squaramide oxygen seems to be key for discrimination of the corresponding reaction transition states.

- Imidazotetrazines as Weighable Diazomethane Surrogates for Esterifications and Cyclopropanations
-
Diazomethane is one of the most versatile reagents in organic synthesis, but its utility is limited by its hazardous nature. Although alternative methods exist to perform the unique chemistry of diazomethane, these suffer from diminished reactivity and/or correspondingly harsher conditions. Herein, we describe the repurposing of imidazotetrazines (such as temozolomide, TMZ, the standard of care for glioblastoma) for use as synthetic precursors of alkyl diazonium reagents. TMZ was employed to conduct esterifications and metal-catalyzed cyclopropanations, and results show that methyl ester formation from a wide variety of substrates is especially efficient and operationally simple. TMZ is a commercially available solid that is non-explosive and non-toxic, and should find broad utility as a replacement for diazomethane.

- Room Temperature Coupling of Aryldiazoacetates with Boronic Acids Enhanced by Blue Light Irradiation
-
A visible-light-promoted photochemical protocol is reported for the coupling of aryldiazoacetates with boronic acids. This photochemical reaction shows great enhancement compared to the same protocol performed in the absence of light. Except for a few cases, the room temperature coupling in the dark (thermal process) generally does not work. When it does, it is likely to also involve free carbenes as key intermediates. Alternatively, photochemical reactions show a broad scope, can be performed under air and tolerate a wide variety of functional groups. Reaction-evolution monitoring, DFT calculations and control experiments have been used to evaluate the main aspects of this intricate mechanistic scenario. Biologically active molecules Adiphenine, Benactyzine and Aprophen have been prepared as examples of synthetic applications.

- Pd-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Olefination: Stereoselective Synthesis of Polysubstituted Butadienes and Macrocyclic P-glycoprotein Inhibitors
-
The efficient and stereoselective synthesis of polysubstituted butadienes, especially the multifunctional butadienes, represents a great challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we wish to report a distinctive Pd(0) carbene-initiated decarboxylative olefination approach that enables the direct coupling of diazo esters with vinylethylene carbonates (VECs), vinyl oxazolidinones, or vinyl benzoxazinones to afford alcohol-, amine-, or aniline-containing 1,3-dienes in moderate to high yields and with excellent stereoselectivity. This protocol features operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and gram-scalability. Notably, a structurally unique allylic Pd(II) intermediate was isolated and characterized. DFT calculation and control experiments demonstrated that a rare Pd(0) carbene intermediate could be involved in this reaction. Moreover, the polysubstituted butadienes as novel building blocks were unprecedentedly assembled into macrocycles, which efficiently inhibited the P-glycoprotein and dramatically reversed multidrug resistance in cancer cells by 190-fold.

- Discovery of 2-oxy-2-phenylacetic acid substituted naphthalene sulfonamide derivatives as potent KEAP1-NRF2 protein-protein interaction inhibitors for inflammatory conditions
-
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) is a pleiotropic transcription factor which regulates the constitutive and inducible transcription of a wide array of genes and confers protection against a variety of pathologies. Directly disrupting Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (KEAP1)-NRF2 protein-protein interaction (PPI) has been explored as a promising strategy to activate NRF2. We reported here the first identification of a series of 2-oxy-2-phenylacetic acid substituted naphthalene sulfonamide derivatives as potent KEAP1-NRF2 inhibitors. Our efforts led to the potent small molecule KEAP1-NRF2 inhibitor, 20c, which exhibited a Kd of 24 nM to KEAP1 and an IC50 of 75 nM in disrupting KEAP1-NRF2 interaction. Subsequent biological studies provided consistent evidence across mouse macrophage cell-based and in vivo models that 20c induced NRF2 target gene expression and enhanced downstream antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Our study not only demonstrated that small molecule KEAP1-NRF2 PPI inhibitors can be potential preventive and therapeutic agents for diseases and conditions involving oxidative stress and inflammation but also enriched the chemical diversity of the KEAP1-NRF2 inhibitors.

- Photocatalytic Hydromethylation and Hydroalkylation of Olefins Enabled by Titanium Dioxide Mediated Decarboxylation
-
A versatile method for the hydromethylation and hydroalkylation of alkenes at room temperature is achieved by using the photooxidative redox capacity of the valence band of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2). Mechanistic studies support a radical-based mechanism involving the photoexcitation of TiO2 with 390 nm light in the presence of acetic acid and other carboxylic acids to generate methyl and alkyl radicals, respectively, without the need for stoichiometric base. This protocol is accepting of a broad scope of alkene and carboxylic acids, including challenging ones that produce highly reactive primary alkyl radicals and those containing functional groups that are susceptible to nucleophilic substitution such as alkyl halides. This methodology highlights the utility of using heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysts such as TiO2 for promoting challenging organic syntheses that rely on highly reactive intermediates.

Aryl substituted 2,2,2-trifluorodiazoethanes undergo rhodium(II)-catalysed insertion reactions with tin hydrides affording the corresponding α-(trifluoromethyl)benzyl stannanes. This reactivity contrasts with that of diazo esters which predominantly afford CH2 reduction products in the presence of tin hydrides. The first example of asymmetric insertion into tin hydrides using diazo compounds is also described. In addition, this system extends to asymmetric germanium hydride and silane insertion.

- Structure-activity relationships study of neolamellarin A and its analogues as hypoxia inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) inhibitors
-
The novel marine pyrrole alkaloid neolamellarin A derived from sponge has been shown to inhibit hypoxia-induced HIF-1 activity. In this work, we designed and synthesized neolamellarin A and its series of derivatives by a convergent synthetic strategy. The HIF-1 inhibitory activity and cytotoxicity of these compounds were evaluated in Hela cells by dual-luciferase reporter gene assay and MTT assay, respectively. The results showed that neolamellarin A 1 (IC50 = 10.8 ± 1.0 μM) and derivative 2b (IC50 = 11.9 ± 3.6 μM) had the best HIF-1 inhibitory activity and low cytotoxicity. Our SAR research focused on the effects of key regions aliphatic carbon chain length, aromatic ring substituents and C-7 substituent on biological activity, providing a basis for the subsequent research on the development of novel pyrrole alkaloids as HIF-1 inhibitors and design of small molecule probes for target protein identification.

Initially, triarylboranes were successfully investigated in α-arylations of α-diazoacetates, however in the presence of a heteroatom in the ortho position, the boron enolate intermediate undergoes an intramolecular rearrangement to form a quaternary center. The intermediate cyclizes to afford valuable 3,3-disubstituted benzofuranones in good yields.

- Dehydroxymethylation of alcohols enabled by cerium photocatalysis
-
Dehydroxymethylation, the direct conversion of alcohol feedstocks as alkyl synthons containing one less carbon atom, is an unconventional and underexplored strategy to exploit the ubiquity and robustness of alcohol materials. Under mild and redox-neutral reaction conditions, utilizing inexpensive cerium catalyst, the photocatalytic dehydroxymethylation platform has been furnished. Enabled by ligand-to-metal charge transfer catalysis, an alcohol functionality has been reliably transferred into nucleophilic radicals with the loss of one molecule of formaldehyde. Intriguingly, we found that the dehydroxymethylation process can be significantly promoted by the cerium catalyst, and the stabilization effect of the fragmented radicals also plays a significant role. This operationally simple protocol has enabled the direct utilization of primary alcohols as unconventional alkyl nucleophiles for radical-mediated 1,4-conjugate additions with Michael acceptors. A broad range of alcohols, from simple ethanol to complex nucleosides and steroids, have been successfully applied to this fragment coupling transformation. Furthermore, the modularity of this catalytic system has been demonstrated in diversified radical-mediated transformations including hydrogenation, amination, alkenylation, and oxidation.

Protecting groups are indispensable in organic synthesis and there is a great need for a variety of deprotection methods. Here, we investigated the scope of the application of a deprotection procedure using SO3H silica gel, which we have previously reported as a desilylation procedure. Under these conditions, -OMOM, -OSEM, -OTHP, and -OAc groups and dimethyl acetal were cleaved. Pivaloyloxy, benzyloxy and methoxy carbonyl groups remained intact and selective deprotection of TBS groups in the presence of other protecting groups was accomplished. We succeeded in cleaving an acetyl group on a secondary alcohol in a highly polar nortropine derivative. Our findings here provide another deprotection option and would be helpful in the synthesis of multifunctional compounds.

The yields are essentially quantitative in many cases, even in the presence of less than 1 mol % catalyst and 1 equivalent of the silylating reagent under relatively mild conditions. The disilylated biphenyls can be converted into disiloxane-bridged biphenyls.

A marine natural product, pulmonarin B (1), and a series of related tacrine hybrid analogues were synthesized and evaluated as cholinesterase (ChE) inhibitors. The in vitro ChE assay results revealed that 1 showed moderate dual acetylcholinesterase (AChE)/ butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) inhibitory activity, while the hybrid 12j proved to be the most potent dual inhibitor among the designed derivatives, being almost as active as tacrine. Molecular modeling studies together with kinetic analysis suggested that 12j interacted with both the catalytic active site and peripheral anionic site of AChE. Compounds 1 and 12j could also inhibit self-induced and AChE-induced Aβ aggregation. In addition, the cell-based assay against the human hepatoma cell line (HepG2) revealed that 1 and 12j did not show significant hepatotoxicity compared with tacrine and donepezil. Taken together, the present study confirmed that compound 1 was a potential anti-Alzheimer’s disease (AD) hit, and 12j could be highlighted as a multifunctional lead compound for anti-AD drug development.

Exploratory studies of the CpCo-mediated [2+2+2] cycloaddition of alkynes to the 2,3-double bond of benzo[ b ]furans (and some benzo[ b ]thiophenes) are presented, with the general aim to access morphinan substructures. The basic feasibility of constructing Co-complexed tetrahydrophenanthro[4,5- bcd ]furans (and -thiophenes) in moderate to good yields is demonstrated, with complete to extensive diastereoselectivity. Limitations are the apparent necessity for bulky (silylated) monoalkynes, the lack of regioselectivity in the cocyclization with unsymmetrical alkynes, and the sensitivity of the ligands, both complexed and uncomplexed, with respect to ring opening and rearrangement.

- Comparison of Phenylacetates with Benzoates and Phenylpropanoates as Antifeedants for the Pine Weevil, Hylobius abietis
-
This study concludes an extensive investigation of antifeedants for the pine weevil, Hylobius abietis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), an economically important pest of planted conifer seedlings. Building on the previously reported antifeedant effects of benzoates and phenylpropanoids (aromatic compounds with one- or three-carbon-atom substituents on the benzene ring), we here report the antifeedant effects of compounds with two-carbon-atom side chains (i.e., phenylacetates). We also present new results; the best antifeedants from the benzoate class were tested at 10-fold lower concentrations in order to find the optimal antifeedants. Generally, for all three compound classes, efficient antifeedants were found to have one or two methyl, chloro, or methoxy substituents on the aromatic ring. For monosubstituted phenylpropanoids, the substituent preferably should be in the para-position. In the search for synergistic antifeedant effects among the three compound classes, combinations of compounds from the three classes were tested in binary and ternary mixtures.

The work describes a discovery of new chemical family of potent ligands for the 5-HT6 serotonin receptors. During the search for new histamine H4 receptor antagonists among 1,3,5-triazine derivatives, compound 2 (4-benzyl-6-(4-methylpiperazin-1-yl)-1,3,5-triazin-2-amine) was found. Compound 2, weakly active for the H4 receptor but fitted in 3/4 of pharmacophore features of the 5-HT6R ligand, occurred to be a moderate 5-HT6R agent, useful as a lead structure for further modifications. A series of new derivatives (3–19) of the lead 2 was synthesized, evaluated in the radioligand binding assay (RBA) and explored in comprehensive molecular modelling, including both pharmacophore- and structure-based approaches with docking to the homology model of 5-HT6R. The most active compounds displayed a potent affinity for the 5-HT6R in the nanomolar range (Ki?=?20–30?nM), some of them (4, 11 and 19) were tested in the rat forced swim test that revealed their antidepressant-like effect. SAR-analysis on the basis of both, RBA and docking results, indicated that action on the receptor is related to the hydrophobicity and the size of aromatic moiety substituted by a methylene linker at the position 4 of 1,3,5-triazine.

- Water as a Hydride Source in Palladium-Catalyzed Enantioselective Reductive Heck Reactions
-
Pd-catalyzed intramolecular asymmetric carbopalladation of N-aryl acrylamides followed by reduction of C(sp3)-Pd intermediate using diboron–water as a hydride source afforded enantioenriched 3,3-disubstituted oxindoles in high yields and enantioselectivities. When heavy water was used as a deuterium donor in combination with bis(catecholato)diboron (Cat2B2), deuterium was incorporated into the products with high synthetic efficiency. The ligand determined both the enantioselectivity of the reaction and the reaction pathways, thereby affording either hydroarylation (reductive Heck) or carboborylation products.

- Discovery, synthesis, and structure-activity relations of 3,4-dihydro-1H-spiro(naphthalene-2,2′-piperidin)-1-ones as potassium-competitive acid blockers
-
With the aim to discover a gastric antisecretory agent more potent than the existing proton pump inhibitors, novel 3,4-dihydro-1H-spiro(naphthalene-2,2′-piperidin)-1-one derivatives, which could occupy two important lipophilic pockets (described as LP-1 and LP-2) of H+,K+-ATPase and can strongly bind to the K+-binding site, were designed based on a docking model. Among the compounds synthesized, compound 4d showed a strong H+,K+-ATPase-inhibitory activity and a high stomach concentration in rats, resulting in potent inhibitory action on histamine-stimulated gastric acid secretion in rats. Furthermore, 4d exerted significant inhibitory action on histamine-stimulated gastric-acid secretion in rats with a rapid onset and moderate duration of action after the administration. These findings may lead to a new insight into the drug design of potassium-competitive acid blockers.

- Cyclopropenation of internal alkynylsilanes and diazoacetates catalyzed by copper(i) N-heterocyclic carbene complexes
-
Copper(i) N-heterocyclic carbene (CuNHC) complexes are more catalytically active than traditional transition metal salts for the cyclopropenation of internal alkynylsilanes and diazoacetate compounds. A series of 1,2,3-trisubstituted and 1,2,3,3-tetrasubstituted cyclopropenylsilane compounds were isolated in good overall yields. An interesting regioselective and chemodivergent reaction pathway was also observed to furnish a tetra-substituted furan for an electron-rich donor/acceptor diazoacetate. Finally, a practical synthesis of a cyclopropenyl-containing starting material that is useful for bioorthogonal chemistry is also described.

- Synthesis of Ketones and Esters from Heteroatom-Functionalized Alkenes by Cobalt-Mediated Hydrogen Atom Transfer
-
Cobalt bis(acetylacetonate) is shown to mediate hydrogen atom transfer to a broad range of functionalized alkenes; in situ oxidation of the resulting alkylradical intermediates, followed by hydrolysis, provides expedient access to ketones and esters. By modification of the alcohol solvent, different alkyl ester products may be obtained. The method is compatible with a number of functional groups including alkenyl halides, sulfides, triflates, and phosphonates and provides a mild and practical alternative to the Tamao-Fleming oxidation of vinylsilanes and the Arndt-Eistert homologation.

- Indium-Catalyzed Reductive Sulfidation of Esters by Using Thiols: An Approach to the Diverse Synthesis of Sulfides
-
A new reductive preparation of unsymmetrical sulfides from esters and thiols in the presence of InI3 and either 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) or PhSiH3 as the reductant was developed. This protocol was applied to not only benzoic acid esters that have a methoxy, methyl, chloro, bromo, iodo, or trifluoromethyl group on the aromatic ring but also aliphatic acid esters with either aromatic or aliphatic thiols. A reaction mechanism is proposed by using Hammett plot results and several control experiments. The reductive preparation of unsymmetrical sulfides from esters and thiols by using InI3 and either 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) or PhSiH3 was developed. Several mechanistic studies support that the present transformation proceeds through O,S-and S,S-acetals as the reaction intermediates. TMDS = 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, R = aliphatic group.

Mild heating of diazo compounds in DMSO furnishes ketone products in moderate to excellent yields. The reaction is particularly effective on electron-rich substrates and exhibits high chemoselectivity, allowing for the use of diazo compounds containing additional oxidation-prone functional groups. This straightforward protocol offers an alternate route to synthetically useful α-ketoesters from readily available aryl diazoacetates.

- Synthesis of aryl anilinomaleimide based derivatives as glycogen synthase kinase-3β inhibitors with potential role as antidepressant agents
-
A series of aryl anilinomaleimide based derivatives has been synthesized and evaluated for in vitro glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) inhibitory activity. A large number of compounds from the series exhibited moderate to potent inhibitory activity against GSK-3β, with more than one-third of the compounds showing inhibition with IC50 values 50 values of 0.09, 0.12, 0.17, 0.19, 0.21 and 0.23 μM respectively), were further investigated for antidepressant activity by the widely accepted forced swim test and tail suspension test (FST and TST) models. All the tested compounds displayed antidepressant-like effects, particularly compounds 8j and 8b, which exhibited significant antidepressant activity, about 1.4-fold higher than fluoxetine, a standard antidepressant drug in both FST and TST. Preliminary structure-activity relationships have also been generated based on the experimental data obtained.

- Development and evaluation of ST-1829 based on 5-benzylidene-2-phenylthiazolones as promising agent for anti-leukotriene therapy
-
Different inflammatory diseases and allergic reactions are mediated by leukotrienes, which arise from the oxygenation of arachidonic acid catalyzed by 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO). One promising approach for an effective anti-leukotriene therapy is the inhibition of this key enzyme. This study presents the synthesis and development of a potent and direct 5-LO inhibitor based on the well characterized 5-benzylidene-2-phenylthiazolone C06, whose further pharmacological investigation was precluded due to its low solubility. Through optimization of C06, evaluation of structure-activity relationships including profound assessment of the thiazolone core and consideration of the solubility, the 5-benzyl-2-phenyl-4-hydroxythiazoles represented by 46 (ST-1829, 5-(4-chlorobenzyl)-2-p-tolylthiazol-4-ol) were developed. Compound 46 showed an improved 5-LO inhibitory activity in cell-based (ICinf50/inf values 0.141/4M) and cell-free assays (ICinf50/inf values 0.03 1/4M) as well as a prominent enhanced solubility. Furthermore, it kept its promising inhibitory potency in the presence of blood serum, excluding excessive binding to serum proteins. These facts combined with the non-cytotoxic profile mark a major step towards an effective anti-inflammatory therapy.

- Benzaldehyde Schiff bases regulation to the metabolism, hemolysis, and virulence genes expression in vitro and their structure-microbicidal activity relationship
-
There is an urgent need to develop new antibacterial agents because of multidrug resistance by bacteria and fungi. Schiff bases (aldehyde or ketone-like compounds) exhibit intense antibacterial characteristics, and are therefore, promising candidates as antibacterial agents. To investigate the mechanism of action of newly designed benzaldehyde Schiff bases, a series of high-yielding benzaldehyde Schiff bases were synthesized, and their structures were determined by NMR and MS spectra data. The structure-microbicidal activity relationship of derivatives was investigated, and the antibacterial mechanisms were investigated by gene assays for the expression of functional genes in vitro using Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Bacillus subtilis. The active compounds were selective for certain active groups. The polar substitution of the R2 group of the amino acids in the Schiff bases, affected the antibacterial activity against E. coli and S. aureus; specific active group at the R3 or R4 groups of the acylhydrazone Schiff bases could improve their inhibitory activity against these three tested organisms. The antibacterial mechanism of the active benzaldehyde Schiff bases appeared to regulate the expression of metabolism-associated genes in E. coli, hemolysis-associated genes in B. subtilis, and key virulence genes in S. aureus. Some benzaldehyde Schiff bases were bactericidal to all the three strains and appeared to regulate gene expression associated with metabolism, hemolysis, and virulence, in vitro. The newly designed benzaldehyde Schiff bases possessed unique antibacterial activity and might be potentially useful for prophylactic or therapeutic intervention of bacterial infections.

A highly regioselective palladium-catalyzed ester-directed ortho-olefination of phenyl acetic and propionic esters with olefins via C-H bond activation has been developed. A wide variety of phenyl acetic and propionic esters were tolerated in this transformation, affording the corresponding olefinated aromatic compounds. The ortho-olefination of heterocyclic acetic and propionic esters also took place smoothly giving the products in good yields, thus proving the potential utility of this protocol in synthetic chemistry.

- Acetylcholinesterase inhibition activity of some quinolinyl substituted triazolothiadiazole derivatives
-
A series of aralkanoic acids was converted into aralkanoic acid hydrazides through their esters formation. The aralkanoic acid hydrazides upon treatment with carbon disulfide and methanolic potassium hydroxide yielded potassium dithiocarbazinate salts, which on refluxing with aqueous hydrazine hydrate yielded 5-aralkyl-4-amino-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles. The target compounds, 3-aralkyl-6-(substitutedquinolinyl) [1,2,4]triazolo[3,4-b][1,3,4]thiadiazoles, were synthesized by condensing various quinolinyl substituted carboxylic acids with 5-aralkyl-4-amino-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles in phosphorus oxychloride. The structures of the newly synthesized triazolothiadiazoles were characterized by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analysis studies. The structure of one of the 5-aralkyl-4-amino-3-mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles was unambiguously deduced by single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. All the synthesized compounds were screened for their acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities. Four of the triazolothiadiazoles exhibited excellent acetylcholinesterase inhibition activities as compared to the reference inhibitor.

- Ring Expansion of Epoxides under Br?nsted Base Catalysis: Formal [3+2] Cycloaddition of β,γ-Epoxy Esters with Imines Providing 2,4,5-Trisubstituted 1,3-Oxazolidines
-
A novel ring-expansion reaction of epoxides under Br?nsted base catalysis was developed. The formal [3+2] cycloaddition reaction of β,γ-epoxy esters with imines proceeds in the presence of triazabicyclodecene (TBD) as a superior Br?nsted base catalyst to afford 2,4,5-trisubstituted 1,3-oxazolidines in a highly diastereoselective manner. This reaction involves the ring opening of the epoxides with the aid of the Br?nsted base catalyst to generate α,β-unsaturated esters having an alkoxide at the allylic position, which would formally serve as a synthetic equivalent of the 1,3-dipole, followed by a cycloaddition reaction with imines in a stepwise fashion. This methodology enables the facile synthesis of enantioenriched 1,3-oxazolidines from easily accessible enantioenriched epoxides.
