- Synthesis and antifungal activities of novel 2-aminotetralin derivatives
-
Novel 2-aminotetralin derivatives were synthesized as antifungal agents. The 2-aminotetralin scaffold was chemically designed to mimic the tetrahydroisoquinoline ring of the lead molecule described before. Their antifungal activities were evaluated in vitro by measuring the minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs). Compounds 10a, 12a, 12c, 13b, and 13d are more potent than fluconazole against seven testing human fungal pathogens. Compound 10b exhibits much higher antifungal activities against all of the four fluconazole-resistant clinic Candida albicans strains than the control drugs including amphotericin B, terbinafine, ketoconazole, and itraconazole. The mode of action of some compounds to the potential receptor lanosterol 14α-demethylase (CYP51) was investigated by molecular docking. The studies presented here provide a new structural type for the development of novel antifungal compounds. Furthermore, 10b was evaluated in vivo by a rat vaginal candidiasis model, and it was found that 10b significantly decreases the number of fungal colony counts.

- A chemoenzymatic synthesis of (2R)-8-substituted-2-aminotetralins
-
(2R)-2-Amino-8-methoxy-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, a useful precursor of the 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor agonist 8-OH-DPAT ((2R)-2-(dipropylamino)-8-hydroxytetrahydronaphthalene), has been synthesized from 1-methoxynaphthalene through a chemoenzymatic protocol. The same protocol has been subsequently applied to the synthesis of other (2R)-2-amino-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalenes.

- Baker's Yeast Mediated Reduction of Aromatic Ring Substituted 2-Tetralones
-
2-Tetralones mono- and disubstituted with methoxy or hydroxy groups in the aromatic ring are hydrogenated to 2-tetralols in good yields by non-fermenting baker's yeast.The prevalent enantioform of the reduction product and its e.e. were found to depend on the substitution pattern.In one case, i.e. the biotransformation of 5-methoxy-2-tetralone into the corresponding 2-tetralol, an e.e. >/= 98percent was observed.A simple abstract model for explaining and predicting the stereochemical outcome in the yeast-mediated carbonyl reduction of 2-tetralones is proposed.

- 2-Amido-8-methoxytetralins: A Series of Nonindolic Melatonin-like Agents
-
A series of unsubstituted and methoxy-substituted 2-amidotetralins (4a-q) was prepared and evaluated for their ability to complete for 2-iodomelatonin binding to chicken retinal membranes and for their potency to inhibit the calcium-dependent release of dopamine from rabbit retina.The lead compound, 2-acetamido-8-methoxytetralin (4j), showed a moderate affinity (Ki = 46 nM) and potency (IC50 = 1.4 nM) at the melatonin receptor.The structural requirements necessary for optimal agonistic activity at the melatonin receptor are as follows.First, the amido group, which should have a small, nonbranched alkyl group, is essential for affinity, and second, the methoxy substituent at the 8-position of the 2-amidotetralin ring is essential for optimal agonistic activity at the melatonin receptor.We concluded that this series of unsubstituted and methoxy-substituted 2-amidotetralins constitutes a class of nonindolic melatonin-like agents that can be used as pharmacological tools to further characterize melatonin receptors and to elucidate the mode of action of melatonin.

- The Intramolecular Buchner Reaction of Aryl Diazoketones. Substituent Effects and Scope in Synthesis
-
Rhodium(II) acetate-catalysed cyclisation of α-diazoketones derived from 3-arylpropionic acid produces bicyclodecatrienones or 2-tetralones depending on the substitution pattern of the aryl ring in the precursor; the former products are transformed into the latter catalytically with trifluoroacetic acid.Precursors with methyl, methoxy, and acetoxy substituents have been examined, efficient cyclisation occurring in all cases.When the precursor contains a meta-methoxy substituent, 2-tetralones are obtained directly.The efficient conversion of 3-phenylpropionicacid into trans-1-methylbicyclodecan-2-one is also described, partial asymmetric synthesis having been realised through the use of rhodium (S)-mandelate as the cyclisation catalyst.Cyclisations of diazoketones derived from 4-phenylbutyric acid and 5-phenylpentanoic acid have also been studied; the former provides a new entry into the bicycloundecane system whereas the latter produces a 2,3-disubstituted cyclopentanone via C-H insertion.Aspects of the cycloheptatriene-norcaradiene equilibrium in fused ring systems are discussed.

Cyclic α-diazoketones react with phenylsulphenyl chloride at room temperature to furnish α-chloro-α-(phenylthio)cycloalkanones which undergo ready dehydrochlorination to α-(phenylthio)cycloalkenones when treated with triethylamine; acyclic, terminal α-diazoketones also furnish α-chloro-α-(phenylthio)adducts which are useful electrophiles in the synthesis of α-phenyl-α-(phenylthio)ketones.

- Photoreactions of α-sulfonyloxyketones
-
Earlier work on the photochemistry of α-sulfonyloxyketones uncovered their propensity to form the corresponding α-ketocarbonium ions on photolysis.Typical reactions such as intramolecular cyclizations, carbonium ion rearrangements, and solvent trapping were found.This paper describes an attempt to extend this reaction to a general synthetic technique for polyene cyclizations.During the course of this work two other major reaction pathways were found.The first is an α-keto carbonium ion to acylium ion rearrangement and the second is a photoreduction-elimination process that leads to an α-keto radical rather than the corresponding cation.
