- Synthesis and biological evaluation of phenoxyacetic acid derivatives as novel free fatty acid receptor 1 agonists
-
Free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFA1) is a new potential drug target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes because of its role in amplifying glucose-stimulated insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cell. In the present studies, we identified phenoxyacetic acid derivative (18b) as a potent FFA1 agonist (EC50 = 62.3 nM) based on the structure of phenylpropanoic acid derivative 4p. Moreover, compound 18b could significantly improve oral glucose tolerance in ICR mice and dose-dependently reduced glucose levels in type 2 diabetic C57BL/6 mice without observation of hypoglycemic side effect. Additionally, compound 18b exhibited acceptable PK profiles. In summary, compound 18b with ideal PK profiles exhibited good activity in vitro and in vivo, and might be a promising drug candidate for the treatment of diabetes mellitus.

- Chelating Bis-N-heterocyclic Carbene-Palladium(II) Complexes for Oxidative Arene C-H Functionalization
-
Bis-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-chelated palladium(II) complexes have been synthesized, characterized fully including single-crystal X-ray structural analyses, and utilized for the first time toward catalytic oxidative C-H functionalization of arenes with PhI(OAc)2 and N-bromosuccinimide. (Figure Presented).

- Polyvinylpolypyrrolidone-bound boron trifluoride: A highly efficient catalyst for acylation of alcohols, phenols and trimethylsilyl ethers by acetic anhydride
-
A highly efficient method for the acylation of alcohols, phenols and trimethylsilyl ethers with acetic anhydride is described using polyvinylpolypyrrolidone-bound boron trifluoride (PVPP-BF3) under mild and heterogeneous conditions at room temperature in good to excellent yields. The polyvinylpolypyrrolidone-boron trifluoride complex shows more water tolerant, non-corrosive and stable solid catalyst elevated Lewis acid properties.

The intramolecular condensation of o-acyloxybenzylidenetriphenylphosphoranes leads to acylated products in t-BuOH and to benzofurans in toluene. Mechanistic aspects are discussed. A general method is described for the synthesis of benzofurans from o-cresols, o-hydroxybenzylic alcohols, and deactivated phenols.
