In this Communication, procedures for the selective synthesis of 4-arylbutanoic acids, 2-arylbutanoic acids, and 4-arylbutanals from the same allylbenzenes have been developed. With formic acid or TFBen as the CO surrogate, reactions proceed selectively and effectively under carbon monoxide gas-free conditions.
An Efficient Synthesis of Pemetrexed Disodium

An efficient synthetic method for the pemetrexed disodium has been developed using methyl 4-iodobenzoate and 3-buten-1-ol as starting materials via six steps. The developed process avoided some tedious workup procedures and unfriendly reagents compared with the reported synthetic routes. In addition, two impurities generated in the process were isolated and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. The mechanisms of the two impurities were also discussed, and the impurities could be easily removed by suitable workup procedures. The overall yield of pemetrexed disodium was increased from 12.8% (literature) to 34.9%. Therefore, this cost-effective, environmental friendly, and high-yielding process is more suitable for scale-up production of pemetrexed disodium.

Bridge homologation of the previously reported classical two-carbon-bridged antifolates, a 5-substituted 2,4-diaminofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine (1) [which is a 6-regioisomer of LY231514 (Alimta)] and a 6-subsituted 2-amino-4-oxopyrrolo[2,3- d]pyrimidine, afforded the three-carbon-bridged antifolates analogues 4 and 5, with enhanced inhibitory activity against tumor cells in culture (EC 50 values in the 10-8-10-7 M range or less). These two analogues were synthesized via a 10-step synthetic sequence starting from methyl 4-bromobenzoate (14), which was elaborated to the α-chloromethyl ketone (8) followed by condensation with 2,6-diamino-pyrimidin-4-one (7) to afford the substituted furo[2,3-d]pyrimidine 9 and the pyrrolo[2,3-d]-pyrimidine 10. Subsequent coupling of each regioisomer with diethyl-L-glutamate followed by saponification afforded 4 and 5. The biological results indicate that elongation of the C8-C9 bridge of the classical 5-substituted 2,4-diaminofuro[2,3-d]pyrimidine and 6-substituted 2-amino-4-oxopyrrolo[2,3-d]pyrimidine are highly conducive to antitumor activity in vitro, despite a lack of increase in inhibitory activity against the target enzymes. This supports our original hypothesis that truncation of the B-ring of a highly potent 6-6 ring system to a 6-5 ring system can be compensated by bridge homologation to restore the overall length of the molecule.
