- Identification of (6S)-cyclopropyl-6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine-5(4H)-carboxamines as new HBV capsid assembly modulators
-
GYH2-18 is a type II HBV CAM with 6,7-dihydropyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrazine-5(4H)-carboxamine (DPPC) skeleton discovered by Roche INC. A series of GYH2-18 derivatives were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their anti-HBV activity. Two compounds 2f and 3k exhibited excellent anti-HBV activity, low cytotoxicity and accepted oral PK profiles. Chiral separation of 2f and 3k was conducted successfully, and (6S)-cyclopropyl DPPC isomers 2f-1, 2f-3, 3k-1 and 3k-3 were identified to be much more active than the corresponding (6R)-ones. The preliminary structure-activity relationship, particle gel assay and molecular modeling studies were also discussed, which provide useful indications for guiding the further rational design of new (6S)-cyclopropyl DPPC analogues.

- Bimetallic nano alloy architecture on a special polymer: Ni or Cu merged with Pd for the promotion of the Mizoroki–Heck reaction and the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling
-
Abstract: Novel Ni-Pd and Cu-Pd bimetallic nano alloys was designed and heterogenized on the highly robust ABPBI [poly(2,5-benzimidazole)] polymer in high yields using NaBH4 as reducing agent. These were versatile ligand free catalysts for the Mizoroki–Heck reaction and Suzuki–Miyaura coupling. The bimetallic Ni-Pd-ABPBI catalyst for the Mizoroki–Heck reaction of 4-iodo anisole could be recycled 5 times with high yields. Aryl bromides could also be activated for the Mizoroki–Heck reaction using Cu-Pd-ABPBI NP catalysts, with moderate yields. Graphic abstract: Synopsis Novel bimetallic Ni-Pd and Cu-Pd nano alloys, heterogenized on the robust ABPBI [poly(2,5-benzimidazole)] polymer using NaBH4 as reducing agent, is described. These were versatile ligand free, noble metal conservative catalysts, for the Mizoroki–Heck reaction and the Suzuki–Miyaura coupling. Aryl bromides were activated for the Mizoroki–Heck reaction using the Cu-Pd-ABPBI catalyst.[Figure not available: see fulltext.]

- Palladium Nanoparticles Anchored on Magnesium Organosilicate: An Effective and Selective Catalyst for the Heck Reaction
-
A new and effective palladium catalyst supported on a magnesium organosilicate for application in the Heck reaction is presented. A group of compounds comprising 22 examples were synthesized in moderate to high yields (up to 99%) within a short time. The palladium supported on magnesium organosilicate catalyst was characterized as an amorphous solid by SEM, containing around 33% of palladium inside the solid, and even with this low quantity of palladium, the catalyst was very efficient in the Heck reaction. Besides, based on the Scherrer equation, the crystallite size of the synthesized palladium nanoparticles was ultrasmall (around 1.3 nm). This strategy is a simple and efficient route for the formation of C-C bonds via the Heck cross-coupling reaction.

- Thermal proteome profiling efficiently identifies ribosome destabilizing oxazolidinones
-
Identifying the targets of bioactive small molecules is a challenging endeavor for which no general solution currently exists. Classical affinity purification experiments suffer from the need to functionalise a bioactive compound and link it to a solid support, which may interfere with target binding. A modern mass spectrometry-based proteomics technique that has partially circumvented this problem is thermal proteome profiling (TPP), which determines the effect of an unmodified small molecule on the thermal stability of the whole proteome simultaneously. Here, we use TPP to identify the mode-of-action of a newly-discovered autophagy inhibitor based on oxazolidinones often employed as chiral auxiliaries. Surprisingly, a significant portion of all ribosomal proteins were found to be destabilized by the inhibitor, highlighting the utility of this technology for determining a challenging mode-of-action.

Azomethine ylides are fascinating 1,3-dipoles for [3 + 2] cycloaddition reactions toward the construction ofN-heterocycles. Herein, an efficient and environmentally benign electrochemical approach for the generation of a nonstabilized azomethine ylide has been established under metal-free and external oxidant-free conditions. The resulting 1,3-dipole undergoes a [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction with olefins.

- Larvicidal activity and in silico studies of cinnamic acid derivatives against Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)
-
Cinnamic acid derivatives (CAD's) represent a great alternative in the search for insecticides against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes since they have antimicrobial and insecticide properties. Ae. aegypti is responsible for transmitting Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika viruses, among other arboviruses associated with morbimortality, especially in developing countries. In view of this, in vitro analyses of n-substituted cinnamic acids and esters were performed upon 4th instar larvae (L4) of Ae. aegypti, as well as, molecular docking studies to propose a potential biological target towards this mosquitoes species. The larvicide assays proved that n-substituted ethyl cinnamates showed a more pronounced activity than their corresponding acids, in which p-chlorocinnamate (3j) presented a LC50 value of 8.3 μg/mL. Thusly, external morphologic alterations (rigid and elongated body, curved bowel, and translucent or darkened anal papillae) of mosquitoes’ group exposed to compound 3j, were observed by microscopy. In addition, an analytical method was developed for the quantification of the most promising analog by using high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV). Molecular docking studies suggested that the larvicide action is associated with inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme. Therefore, expanding the larvicidal study with the cinnamic acid derivatives against the vector Ae. aegypti is important for finding search for more effective larvicides and with lower toxicity, since they have already shown good larvicidal properties against Ae. aegypti.

- A One-Pot Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Esters From Esters
-
A convenient method for reductive Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) olefination is described. The E-selective HWE homologation of various esters to α,β-unsaturated esters was readily achieved and gave the desired products in good-to-moderate yields under mild conditions. The one-pot reaction proceeds through an in situ generated aldehyde, formed via the partial reduction of an ester with lithium diisobutyl-t-butoxyaluminum hydride. The formation of cyclized metal acetal and subsequent decompose to the aldehyde for the olefination was found to be a crucial step in this C2-carbon homologation protocol.

- Oxime ligands for Pd catalysis of the Mizoroki–Heck reaction, Suzuki–Miyaura coupling & annulation reactions
-
Monodentate and bidentate chelating oximes are readily available ligands for the Pd catalysis of the Mizoroki–Heck reaction and the Suzuki coupling. High yields were obtained in the Suzuki coupling in aqueous dioxane with TBABr as additive. The oximes can be easily synthesized from the corresponding ketones or aldehydes and thus provide a very large number of nitrogen-based ligands. They have the advantage of not undergoing oxidative degradation, common for phosphine ligands. Chelating oximes with Pd(OAc)2, activate aryl iodides to give high yields of the substitution products in the Mizoroki–Heck reactions as well as the Suzuki coupling. Acetophenone oxime ligand with Pd(OAc)2, catalyzed the reaction of aryl iodides with 1,2-disubstituted alkenes in moderate to high yields. As a test example, the LaRock indole annulation and synthesis of isocoumarin were achieved with acetophenone oxime ligand and Pd(OAc)2 in high yields.

A method for the synthesis of functionalized piperidines containing 3 contiguous stereocentres in the 2-,3- and 4- positions uses a diastereoselective nitro-Mannich to control stereochemistry. The nitro-Mannich reaction between a β-aryl/heteroaryl substituted nitroalkanes and glyoxylate imine provides β-nitro-amines with good selectivity (70:30 to >95:5) for the syn, anti-diastereoisomers. Reductive cyclisation with BF3.OEt2 and Et3SiH gave, after purification, stereochemically pure piperidines in 19–57% yield for ten examples with different 4-aryl/heteroaryl substituents.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Allyl-Allyl Reductive Coupling of Allylamines or Allylic Alcohols with H2as Sole Reductant
-
Catalytic carbon-carbon bond formation building on reductive coupling is a powerful method for the preparation of organic compounds. The identification of environmentally benign reductants is key for establishing an efficient reductive coupling reaction. Herein an efficient strategy enabling H2 as the sole reductant for the palladium-catalyzed allyl-allyl reductive coupling reaction is described. A wide range of allylamines and allylic alcohols as well as allylic ethers proceed smoothly to deliver the C-C coupling products under 1 atm of H2. Kinetic studies suggested that the dinuclear palladium species was involved in the catalytic cycle.

A highly regioselective synthesis of tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)one derivatives was achieved by reacting cyclopropane aldehydes with N′-aryl anthranil hydrazides in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA). The transformation involves domino imine formation and intramolecular cyclization to form 2-arylcyclopropyl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-one, followed by nucleophilic ring opening of the cyclopropyl ring to form desired tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)one in good to excellent yield with complete regioselectivity. This protocol tolerates a great variety of functional groups and thus provides a simple and step-efficient method for pyrroloquinazolinone synthesis.

- Structure?Activity Relationships of Cinnamate Ester Analogues as Potent Antiprotozoal Agents
-
Protozoal infections are still a global health problem, threatening the lives of millions of people around the world, mainly in impoverished tropical and sub-tropical regions. Thus, in view of the lack of efficient therapies and increasing resistances against existing drugs, this study describes the antiprotozoal potential of synthetic cinnamate ester analogues and their structure-activity relationships. In general, Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma brucei were quite susceptible to the compounds in a structure-dependent manner. Detailed analysis revealed a key role of the substitution pattern on the aromatic ring and a marked effect of the side chain on the activity against these two parasites. The high antileishmanial potency and remarkable selectivity of the nitro-aromatic derivatives suggested them as promising candidates for further studies. On the other hand, the high in vitro potency of catechol-type compounds against T. brucei could not be extrapolated to an in vivo mouse model.

Representative enzymatic transformations under micellar conditions are unaffected by the presence of non-ionic surfactants, including designer surfactants such as TPGS-750-M. Furthermore, the presence of enzymes has a negligible effect on transition metal catalysis under micellar conditions in water. Finally, three one-pot chemoenzymatic reactions in water are reported in which the micelle-forming surfactant TPGS-750-M is a crucial factor for reaction efficiency.

- One-Pot Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Esters, Ketones, and Nitriles from Alcohols and Phosphonium Salts
-
A general method for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated esters, ketones, and nitriles is successfully achieved by a one-pot copper-catalyzed oxidation with O 2 in air as oxidant. The solvent mixture of acetonitrile and formamide (1:1) is optimized to ensure the oxidation of alcohols, deprotonation of phosphonium salt, and Wittig reaction occur efficiently in one pot. A broad range of substrates has been explored for this process, including three electron-withdrawing group (CO 2 Et, COPh, CN) functionalized phosphonium salts. They reacted not only with benzylic and heteroaromatic alcohols, but also with aliphatic alcohols, forming the corresponding α,β-unsaturated esters, ketones, and nitriles in moderate to excellent yields.

- Facile synthesis of α, β-unsaturated esters through a one-pot copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidation-Wittig reaction
-
An efficient one-pot synthesis of α, β-unsaturated esters through the aerobic oxidation – Wittig tandem reaction of alcohols and phosphorous ylide is developed. This new method operates under mild reaction conditions, and uses CuI/TEMPO (TEMPO = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl) as co-catalyst and air (O2) as the oxidant. It tolerates a wide range of functionalized benzylic alcohol and aliphatic alcohols.

- Fabrication of Pd/CuFe2O4 hybrid nanowires: A heterogeneous catalyst for Heck couplings
-
The development of environmentally benign transformations is indispensable in organic synthesis. Herein, a hybrid heterogeneous catalyst, palladium(0) on copper ferrite nanowires, has been synthesized, characterized, and for the first time, employed in the Jeffrey Heck reaction between iodoarenes and allylic alcohols, and good to excellent yields have been obtained. In addition, the catalyst was found to be suitable for the usual Heck coupling. The nanocatalyst was recovered and reused up-to multiple runs without any noticeable loss of its catalytic activity.

- An efficient palladium catalyzed Mizoroki-Heck cross-coupling in water
-
The homogeneous Pd-catalysed Mizoroki-Heck coupling reaction was successfully performed in water in the absence of any additives under aerobic conditions. The various key reaction parameters that affect the yield of the desired cross-coupling product were optimized. The Pd(PPh3)4/Et3N/H2O/98 °C catalyst system was found to be highly active (TOF = 12 to 14 h-1) towards achieving excellent yield of the Mizoroki-Heck coupling products for a wide range of electron-withdrawing as well as electron-donating aryl bromides and chlorides in the shortest reaction time. Pd(PPh3)4 catalyst deactivation during the Mizoroki-Heck coupling reaction was investigated and to evolve a strategy for achieving ten times Pd-metal recyclability without appreciable loss of its activity. Thus, the proposed mechanism provides access to a variety of olefins in aqueous medium, making this protocol eco-friendly.

- Ligand-accelerated non-directed C-H functionalization of arenes
-
The directed activation of carbon-hydrogen bonds (C-H) is important in the development of synthetically useful reactions, owing to the proximity-induced reactivity and selectivity that is enabled by coordinating functional groups. Palladium-catalysed non-directed C-H activation could potentially enable further useful reactions, because it can reach more distant sites and be applied to substrates that do not contain appropriate directing groups; however, its development has faced substantial challenges associated with the lack of sufficiently active palladium catalysts. Currently used palladium catalysts are reactive only with electron-rich arenes, unless an excess of arene is used, which limits synthetic applications. Here we report a 2-pyridone ligand that binds to palladium and accelerates non-directed C-H functionalization with arene as the limiting reagent. This protocol is compatible with a broad range of aromatic substrates and we demonstrate direct functionalization of advanced synthetic intermediates, drug molecules and natural products that cannot be used in excessive quantities. We also developed C-H olefination and carboxylation protocols, demonstrating the applicability of our methodology to other transformations. The site selectivity in these transformations is governed by a combination of steric and electronic effects, with the pyridone ligand enhancing the influence of sterics on the selectivity, thus providing complementary selectivity to directed C-H functionalization.

- Bu 4 N + -Controlled Addition and Olefination with Ethyl 2-(Trimethylsilyl)acetate via Silicon Activation
-
Catalytic Bu 4 NOAc as silicon activator of ethyl 2-(trimethylsilyl)acetate, in THF, was utilized for the synthesis of β-hydroxy esters, whereas employing catalytic Bu 4 NOTMS gave α,β-unsaturated esters. The established reaction conditions were applicable to a diverse range of aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic aldehydes and ketones. Reactions were achieved at room temperature without taking any of the specialized precautions that are in place for other organometallics. A stepwise olefination pathway via silylated β-hydroxy esters with subsequent elimination to form the α,β-unsaturated ester has been demonstrated. The key to selective product formation lies in use of the weaker acetate activator which suppresses subsequent elimination whereas stronger TMSO - activator (and base) facilitates both addition and elimination steps. The use of tetrabutyl ammonium salts for both acetate and trimethylsilyloxide activators provide enhanced silicon activation when compared to their inorganic cation counterparts.

- Tandem Palladium and Isothiourea Relay Catalysis: Enantioselective Synthesis of α-Amino Acid Derivatives via Allylic Amination and [2,3]-Sigmatropic Rearrangement
-
A tandem relay catalytic protocol using both Pd and isothiourea catalysis has been developed for the enantioselective synthesis of α-amino acid derivatives containing two stereogenic centers from readily accessible N,N-disubstituted glycine aryl esters and allylic phosphates. The optimized process uses a bench-stable succinimide-based Pd precatalyst (FurCat) to promote Pd-catalyzed allylic ammonium salt generation from the allylic phosphate and the glycine aryl ester. Subsequent in situ enantioselective [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement catalyzed by the isothiourea benzotetramisole forms syn-α-amino acid derivatives with high diastereo- and enantioselectivity. This methodology is most effective using 4-nitrophenylglycine esters and tolerates a variety of substituted cinnamic and styrenyl allylic ethyl phosphates. The use of challenging unsymmetrical N-allyl-N-methylglycine esters is also tolerated under the catalytic relay conditions without compromising stereoselectivity.

- Bioactivity and structure-activity relationship of cinnamic acid esters and their derivatives as potential antifungal agents for plant protection
-
A series of cinnamic acid esters and their derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for antifungal activities in vitro against four plant pathogenic fungi by using the mycelium growth rate method. Structure-activity relationship was derived also. Almost all of the compounds showed some inhibition activity on each of the fungi at 0.5 mM. Eight compounds showed the higher average activity with average EC50 values of 17.4-28.6 μg/mL for the fungi than kresoxim-methyl, a commercial fungicide standard, and ten compounds were much more active than commercial fungicide standards carbendazim against P. grisea or kresoxim-methyl against both P. grisea and Valsa Mali. Compounds C1 and C2 showed the higher activity with average EC50 values of 17.4 and 18.5 μg/mL and great potential for development of new plant antifungal agents. The structure-activity relationship analysis showed that both the substitution pattern of the phenyl ring and the alkyl group in the alcohol moiety significantly influences the activity. There exists complexly comprehensive effect between the substituents on the phenyl ring and the alkyl group in the alcohol moiety on the activity. Thus, cinnamic acid esters showed great potential the development of new antifungal agents for plant protection due to high activity, natural compounds or natural compound framework, simple structure, easy preparation, low-cost and environmentally friendly.

- Gold-Catalyzed [2,3]-Sigmatropic Rearrangement: Reaction of Aryl Allyl Alcohols with Diazo Compounds
-
A gold-catalyzed [2,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement reaction has been developed. The intermolecular rearrangement occurs between in situ generated donor-acceptor gold-carbenes and cinnamyl alcohols via tandem oxonium ylide formation. The desired rearranged product has been accomplished selectively over more conventional O-H insertion, cyclopropanation, cycloaddition, and C-H functionalization products under mild, open-air conditions. The scope of the work has been illustrated by synthesizing a new class of substrates that can be used for constructing complex molecular targets.

- Synthesis and evaluation of thiochroman-4-one derivatives as potential leishmanicidal agents
-
The S-containing heterocyclic compounds benzothiopyrans or thiochromones stand out as having promising biological activities due to their structural relationship with chromones (benzopyrans), which are widely known as privileged scaffolds in medicinal chemistry. In this work, we report the synthesis of 35 thiochromone derivatives and the in vitro antileishmanial and cytotoxic activities. Compounds were tested against intracellular amastigotes of Leishmania panamensis and cytotoxic activity against human monocytes (U-937 ATCC CRL-1593.2). Compounds bearing a vinyl sulfone moiety, 4h, 4i, 4j, 4k, 4l and 4m, displayed the highest antileishmanial activity, with EC50 values lower than 10 μM and an index of selectivity over 100 for compounds 4j and 4l. When the double bond or the sulfone moiety was removed, the activity decreased. Our results show that thiochromones bearing a vinyl sulfone moiety are endowed with high antileishmanial activity and low cytotoxicity.
