Synthesis and evaluation of (E)-2-(5-phenylpent-2-en-4-ynamido)cyclohex-1-ene-1-carboxylate derivatives as HCA2 receptor agonists
Novel series of compounds consisting of 2-amidocyclohex-1-ene carboxylate and phenyl parts which are connected by enyne (compounds 2a–f), but-1-yne (compounds 4a–j), and phenylethylene (compounds 5a–f) linkers as HCA2 full agonists were designed and their
p-Toluenesulfonic acid-promoted selective functionalization of unsymmetrical arylalkynes: a regioselective access to various arylketones and heterocycles
Regioselective hydration of a wide range of internal alkynes has been afforded in high to good yields by using PTSA in EtOH. The scope of the reaction of alkynes has been delineated. Arylaliphatic alkynes and diarylalkynes were regioselectively hydrated in good to excellent yields and short reaction times when the reaction was achieved under microwave irradiation. Moreover, diarylalkynes, arylenynes as well as diaryldiynes bearing a methoxy- or a thiomethyl substituent on the ortho position underwent a regioselective 5-endo-dig-cyclization to give a variety of 2-aryl- and 2-styrylbenzofuran or benzothiphene derivatives. We believe that, this new environmentally metal-free procedure combined to microwave irradiation would be in importance in the search of green laboratory-scale synthesis.
Palladium-catalyzed cyclization reactions of propargylic carbonates with nucleophiles: A methodology for the syntheses of substituted 2,3-dihydrofurans and benzofurans
Phenoxy-substituted 2,3-dihydrofurans were synthesized by the palladium-catalyzed reaction of 5-methoxycarbonyloxy-3-pentyn-1-ol with phenols. The propargylic carbonate containing a nucleophilic phenoxy group also reacted in the presence of palladium to p
