- Discovery of Salidroside-Derivated Glycoside Analogues as Novel Angiogenesis Agents to Treat Diabetic Hind Limb Ischemia
-
Therapeutic angiogenesis is a potential therapeutic strategy for hind limb ischemia (HLI); however, currently, there are no small-molecule drugs capable of inducing it at the clinical level. Activating the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) pathway in skeletal muscle induces the secretion of angiogenic factors and thus is an attractive therapeutic angiogenesis strategy. Using salidroside, a natural glycosidic compound as a lead, we performed a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study for developing a more effective and druggable angiogenesis agent. We found a novel glycoside scaffold compound (C-30) with better efficacy than salidroside in enhancing the accumulation of the HIF-1α protein and stimulating the paracrine functions of skeletal muscle cells. This in turn significantly increased the angiogenic potential of vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells and, subsequently, induced the formation of mature, functional blood vessels in diabetic and nondiabetic HLI mice. Together, this study offers a novel, promising small-molecule-based therapeutic strategy for treating HLI.

- Dynamic Kinetic Cross-Electrophile Arylation of Benzyl Alcohols by Nickel Catalysis
-
Catalytic transformation of alcohols via metal-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions is very important, but it typically relies on a multistep procedure. We here report a dynamic kinetic cross-coupling approach for the direct functionalization of alcohols. The feasibility of this strategy is demonstrated by a nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile arylation reaction of benzyl alcohols with (hetero)aryl electrophiles. The reaction proceeds with a broad substrate scope of both coupling partners. The electron-rich, electron-poor, and ortho-/meta-/para-substituted (hetero)aryl electrophiles (e.g., Ar-OTf, Ar-I, Ar-Br, and inert Ar-Cl) all coupled well. Most of the functionalities, including aldehyde, ketone, amide, ester, nitrile, sulfone, furan, thiophene, benzothiophene, pyridine, quinolone, Ar-SiMe3, Ar-Bpin, and Ar-SnBu3, were tolerated. The dynamic nature of this method enables the direct arylation of benzylic alcohol in the presence of various nucleophilic groups, including nonactivated primary/secondary/tertiary alcohols, phenols, and free indoles. It thus offers a robust alternative to existing methods for the precise construction of diarylmethanes. The synthetic utility of the method was demonstrated by a concise synthesis of biologically active molecules and by its application to peptide modification and conjugation. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction of in situ formed benzyl oxalates with nickel, possibly via a radical process, is an initial step in the reaction with aryl electrophiles.

- Proton-exchanged montmorillonite-mediated reactions of methoxybenzyl esters and ethers
-
Proton-exchanged montmorillonite (H-mont) was found to be an eco-friendly and cost-effective catalyst for the generation of O-methylated quinone methides (QM) from the corresponding p or o-methoxybenzyl esters and ethers. Nucleophilic trapping of the O-methylated QM with arenes, alcohols, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, silyl enol ethers, and allylsilanes has been carried out, respectively, leading to eco-friendly benzylation reactions. Using this protocol, H-mont-mediated deprotection of PMB-protected esters and ethers have been realized for the first time. This work would pave the way for further exploration in O-alkylated QM that are of chemical and biological significance.

- Br?nsted acid-catalyzed synthesis of diarylmethanes under non-genotoxic conditions
-
Triflic acid and triflimide were found to efficiently catalyze the formation of a wide diversity of diarylmethanes from the non-genotoxic benzylic acetates and electron-rich arenes or heteroarenes. The reaction worked best with acetates capable of generating a stabilized benzylic cationic species. In most cases, the reactions were conveniently run in the absence of solvent under mild conditions.

- Extremely efficient cross-coupling of benzylic halides with aryltitanium tris(isopropoxide) catalyzed by low loadings of a simple palladium(II) acctate/Tris(p-tolyl)phosphine system
-
Highly efficient coupling reactions of benzylic bromides or chlorides with aryltitanium tris(isopropoxide) [ArTi(O-i-Pr)3] catalyzed by a simple palladium(II) Acctate/tris(p-tolyl)phosphine [Pd(OAc)2/ P(p-tolyl)3] system are reported. The coupling reactions proceed in general at room temperature employing low catalyst loadings of 0.02 to 0.2 mol%, affording coupling products in excellent yields of up to 99%. For benzylic bromides bearing strong electronwithdrawing cyano (CN) or trifluoromethyl (CF 3) substituents, the reactions require a higher catalyst loading of 1 mol%, or the reactions are carried out at 60°C. The catalytic system also tolerates (1-bromoethyl)benzene bearing β-hydrogen atoms while using a catalyst loading of 1 mol% to afford the coupling product in a 70% yield.
