A new Pd(II)-catalyzed cascade sequence for the formation of polyheterocycles, from simple starting materials, is reported. The sequence is applicable to both indole and pyrrole substrates, and a range of substituents are tolerated. The reaction is thought to proceed by a Pd(II)-catalyzed C-H activated Heck reaction followed by a second Pd(II)-catalyzed aza-Wacker reaction with two Cu(II)-mediated Pd(0) turnovers per sequence. The sequence can be considered a formal [4 + 2] heterocyclization.

Santacruzamate A (SCA) is a natural product isolated from a Panamanian marine cyanobacterium, previously reported to have potent and selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity. To optimize the enzymatic and cellular activity, 40 SCA analogues were synthesized in a systematic exploration of the zinc-binding group (ZBG), cap terminus, and linker region. Two cap group analogues inhibited proliferation of MCF-7 breast cancer cells, with analogous increased degranulation of cytotoxic T cells (CTLs), while one cap group analogue reduced CTL degranulation, indicative of suppression of the immune response. Additional testing of these analogues resulted in reevaluation of the previously reported SCA mechanism of action. These analogues and the resulting structure–activity relationships will be of interest for future studies on cell proliferation and immune modulation.

A series of eleven α-aminoacyl stabilised phosphorus ylides 9-19 have been prepared by condensation of N-alkoxycarbonyl protected amino acids with Ph3P = CHCO2Et using a carbodiimide peptide coupling reagent. Upon flash vacuum pyrolysis at 600 °C, these undergo extrusion of Ph3PO to give the corresponding α,β-acetylenic γ-amino esters 21-29, 33 and 34 in moderate yield. In two cases the terminal alkynes 30 and 31 are also formed. The β-aminoacyl ylide 20 from β-alanine similarly gives the α,β-acetylenic δ-amino ester 35 upon pyrolysis. Regioselective addition of HBr to the triple bond of one acetylenic ester 25 was observed giving a mixture of E and Z α-bromoacrylates 36. Hydrogenation of the N-Cbz acetylenic esters 21-23 and 33 results in N-deprotection and hydrogenation of the triple bond to afford the chiral GABA analogues 37-40 in 70 ->95% ee as determined by 19F NMR of their Mosher amides. Fully assigned 13C NMR spectra of all the ylides and acetylenic ester derivatives are presented.
