Synthesis of substituted bis(heteroaryl)maleimides
Substituted bis(fur-2-yl), bis(fur-3-yl) and bis(thien-2-yl) maleimides with potential antidiabetic properties are described. Their synthesis involves, as a key step, a Suzuki cross-coupling between various boron derivatives and the diiodomaleimides. Therefore, a wide range of substituted symmetric and non-symmetric maleimide derivatives can be prepared.
The preparation of 2,3,5-tri- and 2,3-disubstituted furans by regioselective palladium(0)-catalyzed coupling reactions: Application to the syntheses of rosefuran and the F5 furan fatty acid
The 5-acceptor-substituted 2,3-dibromofurans 1 and 2 underwent a regioselective Pd0-catalyzed coupling reaction at the C-2 carbon atom. With alkynes the corresponding 2-alkynylfurans 4 and 5 were accessible (49-97% yield) Alkyl-, aryl-, and alk

Two Syntheses of Manoalide via Heteroatom-Assisted Alkyne Carbometallation
Two approaches to the sesterterpenoid phospholipase A2 inhibitors seco-manoalide (3) and manoalide (1) are described based on carbometallation of propargylic alcohols to generate the functionalised C6-C7 trisubstituted alkene.Both syntheses also deploy the photooxidation of a furan in order to generate a 4-substituted 5-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone moiety.
