- Iron-Catalyzed Room Temperature Cross-Couplings of Bromophenols with Aryl Grignard Reagents
-
Herein we report a room temperature Fe-catalyzed coupling reaction of various bromophenols with aryl Grignard reagents, which exhibits a wide substrate scope and high functional group tolerance. For the first time, the combination of simple Fe(acac)3/PBu3/Ti(OEt)4 has been used as an effective catalyst for the biaryl couplings of bromophenols or their Na or K salts with debromination and etherification side reactions being well suppressed. Various biphenols including natural product garcibiphenyl C as well as pharmaceutical diflunisal and its ethyl ester were facilely synthesized using the present protocol. (Figure presented.).

- Synthesis of 2,2′-biphenols through direct C(sp2)-H hydroxylation of [1,1′-biphenyl]-2-ols
-
A novel synthesis of diversely substituted 2,2′-biphenols through Pd(ii)-catalyzed, tBuOOH-oxidized, and hydroxyl-directed C(sp2)-H hydroxylation of [1,1′-biphenyl]-2-ols has been developed. Notably, this finding is distinct from previous reports in which [1,1′-biphenyl]-2-ols underwent an intramolecular C-H activation and C-O bond formation to afford dibenzofurans under the promotion of Pd(ii) but in the absence of tBuOOH.

- 3-Hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-diones as Selective Active Site Inhibitors of HIV Reverse Transcriptase-Associated RNase H: Design, Synthesis, and Biochemical Evaluations
-
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) reverse transcriptase (RT) associated ribonuclease H (RNase H) remains an unvalidated antiviral target. A major challenge of specifically targeting HIV RNase H arises from the general lack of selectivity over RT polymerase (pol) and integrase (IN) strand transfer (ST) inhibitions. We report herein the synthesis and biochemical evaluations of three novel 3-hydroxypyrimidine-2,4-dione (HPD) subtypes carefully designed to achieve selective RNase H inhibition. Biochemical studies showed the two subtypes with an N-1 methyl group (9 and 10) inhibited RNase H in low micromolar range without siginificantly inhibiting RT polymerase, whereas the N-1 unsubstituted subtype 11 inhibited RNase H in submicromolar range and RT polymerase in low micromolar range. Subtype 11 also exhibited substantially reduced inhibition in the HIV-1 INST assay and no significant cytotoxicity in the cell viability assay, suggesting that it may be amenable to further structure-activity relationship (SAR) for identifying RNase H inhibitors with antiviral activity.

- Ligand-free, palladium-catalyzed dihydrogen generation from TMDS: Dehalogenation of aryl halides on water
-
A mild and environmentally attractive dehalogenation of functionalized aryl halides has been developed using nanoparticles formed from PdCl2 in the presence of tetramethyldisiloxane (TMDS) on water. The active catalyst and reaction medium can be recycled. This method can also be applied to cascade reactions in a one-pot sequence.

- A novel 4-aminoantipyrine-Pd(II) complex catalyzes Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions of aryl halides
-
A simple and efficient catalytic system based on a Pd complex of 4-aminoantipyrine, 4-AAP-Pd(II), was found to be highly active for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of aryl iodides and bromides with phenylboronic acids under mild reaction conditions. Good to excellent product yields from the cross-coupling reaction can be achieved when the reaction is carried out in ethanol, in the open air, using low loading of 4-AAP-Pd(II) as a precatalyst, and in the presence of aqueous K2CO3 as the base. A variety of functional groups are tolerated.

- Titania-promoted carboxylic acid alkylations of alkenes and cascade addition-cyclizations
-
Photochemical reactions employing TiO2 and carboxylic acids under dry anaerobic conditions led to several types of C-C bond-forming processes with electron-deficient alkenes. The efficiency of alkylation varied appreciably with substituents in the carboxylic acids. The reactions of aryloxyacetic acids with maleimides resulted in a cascade process in which a pyrrolochromene derivative accompanied the alkylated succinimide. The selectivity for one or other of these products could be tuned to some extent by employing the photoredox catalyst under different conditions. Aryloxyacetic acids adapted for intramolecular ring closures by inclusion of 2-alkenyl, 2-aryl, or 2-oximinyl functionality reacted rather poorly. Profiles of reactant consumption and product formation for these systems were obtained by an in situ NMR monitoring technique. An array of different catalyst forms were tested for efficiency and ease of use. The proposed mechanism, involving hole capture at the TiO2 surface by the carboxylates followed by CO2 loss, was supported by EPR spectroscopic evidence of the intermediates. Deuterium labeling indicated that the titania likely donates protons from surface hydroxyl groups as well as supplying electrons and holes, thus acting as both a catalyst and a reaction partner.

- Ruthenium-catalyzed carbonylative C-H cyclization of 2-arylphenols: A novel synthetic route to 6 H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-6-ones
-
Catalytic carbonylative C-H cyclization of 2-arylphenols can be achieved in the presence of a ruthenium-based catalytic system. The process proceeds efficiently under balloon pressure of CO and produces variously substituted 6H-dibenzo[b,d]pyran-6-one compounds, typically in good to high yields. Functional groups such as the alkoxycarbonyl and acetyl groups as well as halogen atoms (F, Cl, and Br) are well tolerated during the reaction.

- Substrate activity screening: A fragment-based method for the rapid identification of nonpeptidic protease inhibitors
-
A new fragment-based method for the rapid development of novel and distinct classes of nonpeptidic protease inhibitors, Substrate Activity Screening (SAS), is described. This method consists of three steps: (1) a library of N-acyl aminocoumarins with diverse, low molecular weight N-acyl groups is screened to identify protease substrates using a simple fluorescence-based assay, (2) the identified N-acyl aminocoumarin substrates are optimized by rapid analogue synthesis and evaluation, and (3) the optimized substrates are converted to inhibitors by direct replacement of the aminocoumarin with known mechanism-based pharmacophores. The SAS method was successfully applied to the cysteine protease cathepsin S, which is implicated in autoimmune diseases. Multiple distinct classes of nonpeptidic substrates were identified upon screening an N-acyl aminocoumarin library. Two of the nonpeptidic substrate classes were optimized to substrates with >8000-fold improvements in cleavage efficiency for each class. Select nonpeptidic substrates were then directly converted to low molecular weight, novel aldehyde inhibitors with nanomolar affinity to cathepsin S. This study demonstrates the unique characteristics and merits of this first substrate-based method for the rapid identification and optimization of weak fragments and provides the framework for the development of completely nonpeptidic inhibitors to many different proteases.
