- Manganese-catalyzed homogeneous hydrogenation of ketones and conjugate reduction of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid derivatives: A chemoselective, robust, and phosphine-free in situ-protocol
-
We communicate a user-friendly and glove-box-free catalytic protocol for the manganese-catalyzed hydrogenation of ketones and conjugated C[dbnd]C[sbnd]bonds of esters and nitriles. The respective catalyst is readily assembled in situ from the privileged [Mn(CO)5Br] precursor and cheap 2-picolylamine. The catalytic transformations were performed in the presence of t-BuOK whereby the corresponding hydrogenation products were obtained in good to excellent yields. The described system offers a brisk and atom-efficient access to both secondary alcohols and saturated esters avoiding the use of oxygen-sensitive and expensive phosphine-based ligands.

- A general platinum-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation of olefins
-
Hydroxy- and alkoxycarbonylation reactions constitute important industrial processes in homogeneous catalysis. Nowadays, palladium complexes constitute state-of-the-art catalysts for these transformations. Herein, we report the first efficient platinum-catalysed alkoxycarbonylations of olefins including sterically hindered and functionalized ones. This atom-efficient catalytic transformation provides straightforward access to a variety of valuable esters in good to excellent yields and often with high selectivities. In kinetic experiments the activities of Pd- and Pt-based catalysts were compared. Even at low catalyst loading, Pt shows high catalytic activity.

- SNP discrimination by tolane-modified peptide nucleic acids: Application for the detection of drug resistance in pathogens
-
During the treatment of viral or bacterial infections, it is important to evaluate any resistance to the therapeutic agents used. An amino acid substitution arising from a single base mutation in a particular gene often causes drug resistance in pathogens. Therefore, molecular tools that discriminate a single base mismatch in the target sequence are required for achieving therapeutic success. Here, we synthesized peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) derivatized with tolane via an amide linkage at the N-terminus and succeeded in improving the sequence specificity, even with a mismatched base pair located near the terminal region of the duplex. We assessed the sequence specificities of the tolane-PNAs for single-strand DNA and RNA by UV-melting temperature analysis, thermodynamic analysis, an in silico conformational search, and a gel mobility shift assay. As a result, all of the PNA-tolane derivatives stabilized duplex formation to the matched target sequence without inducing mismatch target binding. Among the different PNA-tolane derivatives, PNA that was modified with a naphthyl-type tolane could efficiently discriminate a mismatched base pair and be utilized for the detection of resistance to neuraminidase inhibitors of the influenza A/H1N1 virus. Therefore, our molecular tool can be used to discriminate single nucleotide polymorphisms that are related to drug resistance in pathogens.

- Discovery of carboxyl-containing biaryl ureas as potent RORγt inverse agonists
-
GSK805 (1) is a potent RORγt inverse agonist, but a drawback of 1 is its low solubility, leading to a limited absorption in high doses. We have explored detailed structure-activity relationship on the amide linker, biaryl and arylsulfonyl moieties of 1 trying to improve solubility while maintaining RORγt activity. As a result, a novel series of carboxyl-containing biaryl urea derivatives was discovered as potent RORγt inverse agonists with improved drug-like properties. Compound 3i showed potent RORγt inhibitory activity and subtype selectivity with an IC50 of 63.8 nM in RORγ FRET assay and 85 nM in cell-based RORγ-GAL4 promotor reporter assay. Reasonable inhibitory activity of 3i was also achieved in mouse Th17 cell differentiation assay (76percent inhibition at 0.3 μM). Moreover, 3i had greatly improved aqueous solubility at pH 7.4 compared to 1, exhibited decent mouse PK profile and demonstrated some in vivo efficacy in an imiquimod-induced psoriasis mice model.

- 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.

- High Loading of Pd Nanoparticles by Interior Functionalization of MOFs for Heterogeneous Catalysis
-
In this report, the issue related to nanoparticle (NP) agglomeration upon increasing their loading amount into metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) has been addressed by functionalization of MOFs with alkyne groups. The alkynophilicity of the Pd2+ (or other noble metals) ions has been utilized successfully for significant loading of Pd NPs into alkyne functionalized MOFs. It has been shown here that the size and loading amount of Pd NPs are highly dependent on the surface area and pore width of the MOFs. The loading amount of Pd NPs was increased monotonically without altering their size distribution on a particular MOF. Importantly, the distinct role of alkyne groups for Pd2+ stabilization has also been demonstrated by performing a control experiment considering a MOF without an alkyne moiety. The preparation of NPs involved two distinct steps viz. adsorption of metal ions inside MOFs and reduction of metal ions. Both of these steps were monitored by microscopic techniques. This report also demonstrates the applicability of Pd@MOF NPs as extremely efficient heterogeneous catalysts for Heck-coupling and hydrogenation reactions of aryl bromides or iodides and alkenes, respectively.

- Photodriven Transfer Hydrogenation of Olefins
-
An improved practical method for the photodriven diimide reduction of olefins was investigated. This catalyst-free procedure proceeds at ambient temperature, utilizes air as oxidant and a lower hydrazine loading, and produces inert nitrogen gas as the sole byproduct. Several functional groups were tolerated, and in some cases, the reaction was chemoselective. Challenging substrates such as cinnamate ester derivatives and trans-stilbene were reduced in excellent yields. The small amount of UVA rays emitted from a household compact fluorescent light bulb was proposed to enable the cis/trans isomerization of the diimide and to promote the loss of hydrogen from the diimide.

- Ti/Ni-mediated inter- and intramolecular conjugate addition of aryl and alkenyl halides and triflates
-
In this work, we show that the unique combination of a nickel catalyst and Cp2TiCl allows the direct conjugate addition of aryl and alkenyl iodides, bromides, and to a lesser extent, chlorides and triflates to α,β-unsaturated carbonyls at room temperature, without requiring the previous formation of an organometallic nucleophile. The reaction proceeds inter- and intramolecularly with good functional group compatibility, which is key for the development of free protecting group methodologies. Carbo- and heterocycles of five- and six-membered rings are obtained in good yields. Moreover, some insights about the mechanism involved have been obtained from cyclic voltammetry, UV-vis, and HRTEM measurements.

- Structure-activity relationships of phenylpropanoids as antifeedants for the pine weevil Hylobius abietis
-
Ethyl cinnamate has been isolated from the bark of Pinus contorta in the search for antifeedants for the pine weevil, Hylobius abietis. Based on this lead compound, a number of structurally related compounds were synthesized and tested. The usability of the Topliss scheme, a flow diagram previously used in numerous structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies, was evaluated in an attempt to find the most potent antifeedants. The scheme was initially followed stepwise; subsequently, all compounds found in the scheme were compared. In total, 51 phenylpropanoids were tested and analyzed for SARs by using arguments from the field of medicinal chemistry (rational drug design). Individual Hansch parameters based on hydrophobicity, steric, and electronic properties were examined. The effects of position and numbers of substituents on the aromatic ring, the effects of conjugation in the molecules, and the effects of the properties of the parent alcohol part of the esters were also evaluated. It proved difficult to find strong SARs derived from single physicochemical descriptors, but our study led to numerous new, potent, phenylpropanoid antifeedants for the pine weevil. Among the most potent were methyl 3-phenylpropanoates monosubstituted with chloro, fluoro, or methyl groups and the 3,4-dichlorinated methyl 3-phenylpropanoate.

- Quantitative structure-activity relationships of pine weevil antifeedants, a multivariate approach
-
Antifeedant activity of mainly phenylpropanoic, cinnamic, and benzoic acids esters was tested on the pine weevil, Hylobius abietis (L.). Of 105 compounds screened for activity, 9 phenylpropanoates, 3 cinnamates, and 4 benzoates were found to be highly active antifeedants. To understand the structure-activity relationships of these compounds, a multivariate analysis study was performed. A number of molecular and substituent descriptors were calculated and correlated to results from two-choice feeding tests with H. abietis. Three local models were developed that had good internal predictive ability. External test sets showed moderate predictivity. In general, low polarity, small size, and high lipophilicity were characteristics for compounds having good antifeedant activity.

The use of pinacolborane for the coupling reaction in the ionic liquid gave debromination products, and low yields of 12c-e. Ethyl 3-(4-bromophenyl)propanoate (7c) was transformed into ethyl 3-(4-[1,3,2]dioxaborolanyl)propanoate (9c) by the cross-coupling with [2,2′]bi[[1,3,2]dioxaborinanyl].
