- Palladium-Catalyzed Controllable Reductive/Oxidative Heck Coupling between Cyclic Enones and Thiophenes via C-H Activation
-
Herein, we report a straightforward, environmentally friendly, and controllable palladium/ligand catalytic system to enable reductive/oxidative Heck reactions of cyclic enones with thiophene or furan derivatives via C-H activation. The key to this tunable reaction is the appropriate intercepting thienyl-Pd(II)-enolate during the enolization process. Such a controllable and economic protocol would not only provide efficient methods to construct various value-added β-heteroarylated cyclic ketones/enones but also shed light on developing other conjugate addition reactions via C-H activation.

- Palladium mediated one-pot synthesis of 3-aryl-cyclohexenones and 1,5-diketones from allyl alcohols and aryl ketones
-
One-pot synthesis of Robinson annulated 3-aryl-cyclohexenones from allyl alcohols and ketones using palladium is reported. Long chain aliphatic or aryl substitutions at the C1 position of allyl alcohol result in the formation of 1,5-diketone products. This simple one-pot method avoids the use of highly electrophilic vinyl ketones.

- An Electrophilic Trifluoromethylthiolation of Silylenol Ethers and β-Naphthols with Diethylaminosulfur Trifluoride and (Trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane
-
An efficient and general trifluoromethylthiolation of silylenol ethers and β-naphthols have been accomplished employing the combination of diethylaminosulfur trifluoride (DAST) and (trifluoromethyl)trimethylsilane (CF3TMS) as source of electrophilic trifluoromethylthio moiety for the synthesis of α-trifluoromethylthiolated carbonyl compounds and β-naphthols in good yields. Important features of this method include wide functional group tolerance and use of readily available DAST/CF3TMS. Potential of the methodology was demonstrated via the synthesis of α-trifluoromethylthiolated (+)-4-cholesten-3-one and naphthoquinone. (Figure presented.).

- Palladium-catalyzed dehydrogenative coupling of cyclic enones with thiophenes: A rapid access to β-heteroarylated cyclic enones
-
Dehydrogenative coupling of cyclic enones with heteroarenes has been a longstanding challenge because of the competitive ketone dehydrogenation and conjugated addition. Herein, a dehydrogenative coupling reaction of cyclic enones of different sizes with substituted thiophenes to construct β-thienyl cyclic enone compounds through palladium-catalyzed C-H functionalization under mild reaction conditions is reported. Simple substituted thiophenes with different functional groups can be directly introduced into cyclic enones with predominant regioselectivity at the α position of thiophene moieties and excellent functional group tolerance. Further molecular transformations of the coupling products to synthetically useful meta-heteroarylated phenol derivatives have also been demonstrated.

- Fe2(CO)9-mediated [5+1] cycloaddition of vinylcyclopropanes and CO for the synthesis of α, β-cyclohexenones
-
A Fe2(CO)9-mediated [5+1] cycloaddition of vinylcyclopropanes (VCPs) and CO to α, β-cyclohexenones has been developed. The reaction can tolerate aryl and aliphatic groups at the α-position of VCPs, while VCP substrates with vinyl or alkynyl substitutions are not suitable ones. In addition, this reaction can also be used to synthesize bicyclic rings if an aryl group is attached to the vinyl moiety of the substrate. Compared to the Fe(CO)5-mediated [5+1] reaction, the use of cheap and safe Fe2(CO)9 and abandoning the photo-irradiation conditions are the two major advantages of the present method.

- A highly efficient metal-free approach to: Meta - And multiple-substituted phenols via a simple oxidation of cyclohexenones
-
A novel and efficient metal-free approach to substituted phenols has been disclosed from simple and readily available cyclohexenones and cyclohexenone equivalents. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), a simple and common organic reagent, was employed as a mild oxidant in this I2-catalysis, which significantly tolerates various substituents including some easily oxidizable or reducible functionalities. The challenging meta- and multiple-substituted phenols could be well prepared by this method. The metal-free and mild oxidation make this protocol very simple, practical, and easy to handle.

- Highly enantioselective synthesis of chiral cyclic allylic amines via RH-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation
-
Highly regioselective and enantioselective asymmetric hydrogenation of cyclic dienamides catalyzed by an Rh-DuanPhos complex has been developed, which provides a readily accessible method for the synthesis of chiral cyclic allylic amines in excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). The products are valuable chiral building blocks and could be easily transformed to multisubstituted cyclohexane derivatives.

- Synthesis and screening of small molecule inhibitors of anthrax edema factor
-
The synthesis and development of a novel class of molecules that inhibit anthrax edema factor, an adenylyl cyclase, is reported. These molecules are derived from the initial discovery that histidine and imidazole adducts of the prostaglandin PGE2 reduce the net secretory response of cholera toxin-challenged mice and act directly on the action of anthrax edema factor, a calmodulin-dependent adenylyl cyclase. The simple enones examined in this letter were prepared by palladium-catalyzed Suzuki reaction.
