- One-Pot Synthesis and Conformational Analysis of Six-Membered Cyclic Iodonium Salts
-
Two one-pot procedures for the construction of carbon-bridged diaryliodonium triflates and tetrafluoroborates are described. Strong Br?nsted acids enable the effective Friedel-Crafts alkylation with diversely substituted o-iodobenzyl alcohol derivatives, providing diphenylmethane scaffolds, which are subsequently oxidized and cyclized to the corresponding dibenzo[b,e]iodininium salts. Based on NMR investigations and density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we could verify the so-far-undescribed existence of two stable isomers in cyclic iodonium salts substituted with aliphatic side chains in the carbon bridge.

- Formamides as Lewis Base Catalysts in SNReactions—Efficient Transformation of Alcohols into Chlorides, Amines, and Ethers
-
A simple formamide catalyst facilitates the efficient transformation of alcohols into alkyl chlorides with benzoyl chloride as the sole reagent. These nucleophilic substitutions proceed through iminium-activated alcohols as intermediates. The novel method, which can be even performed under solvent-free conditions, is distinguished by an excellent functional group tolerance, scalability (>100 g) and waste-balance (E-factor down to 2). Chiral substrates are converted with excellent levels of stereochemical inversion (99 %→≥95 % ee). In a practical one-pot procedure, the primary formed chlorides can be further transformed into amines, azides, ethers, sulfides, and nitriles. The value of the method was demonstrated in straightforward syntheses of the drugs rac-Clopidogrel and S-Fendiline.

- Towards iron-catalysed suzuki biaryl cross-coupling: Unusual reactivity of 2-halobenzyl halides
-
The reaction of 2-halobenzyl halides with the borate anion Li[(Ph)(t-Bu)Bpin] leads not only to the expected arylation at the benzyl position, but also to some Suzuki biaryl cross-coupling. Preliminary mechanistic investigations hint towards the intermediacy of benzyl iron intermediates that can either: (a) directly cross-couple with the aryl boron reagent to give observed monoarylated species, or (b) undergo oxidative addition of the aryl halide to generate the diarylated species on reaction with the boron-based nucleophile.

- Cu-Catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions of primary and secondary benzyl halides with arylboronates
-
A copper-catalyzed Suzuki-Miyaura coupling of benzyl halides with arylboronates is described. Varieties of primary benzyl halides as well as more challenging secondary benzyl halides with β hydrogens or steric hindrance could be successfully converted into the corresponding products. Thus it provides access to diarylmethanes, diarylethanes and triarylmethanes. This journal is the Partner Organisations 2014.

- Efficient procedures to prepare primary and secondary alkyl halides from alkanols via the corresponding sulfonates under mild conditions
-
The study presented herein shows that sulfonate/halide exchange can be advantageously performed in THF to avoid several side reactions such as elimination and epimerization when the reaction is performed from a chiral alkyl sulfonate or a substrate having a C-H acidic chiral center. The main limitation of this procedure was found to be the conversion of secondary alkyl sulfonates to alkyl chlorides. In this case, the addition of a catalytic amount of manganese chloride clearly accelerates the rate and the efficiency of the reaction. Copyright

- The use of bromotrichloromethane in chlorination reactions
-
Carbon tetrachloride is no longer used as a common solvent due to its toxicity and harmful environmental impact. The synthesis of gem-dichloroalkenes from aldehydes by using triphenylphosphine typically requires carbon tetrachloride as a solvent. We report that stoichiometric bromotrichloromethane in acetonitrile can be used in place of solvent quantities of carbon tetrachloride in this transformation. Similarly, bromotrichloromethane in dichloromethane can be used for the room-temperature Appel reaction of benzyl alcohols to form benzyl chlorides, which is commonly carried out in refluxing carbon tetrachloride.

- FUNGAL CELL WALL SYNTHESIS GENE
-
A reporter system reflecting the transport process that transports GPI-anchored proteins to the cell wall was constructed and compounds inhibiting this process were discovered. Further, genes conferring resistance to the above compounds were identified and methods of screening for compounds that inhibit the activity of the proteins encoded by these genes were developed.Therefore, through the novel compounds, the present invention showed that antifungal agents having a novel mechanism, i.e. inhibiting the process that transports GPI-anchored proteins to the cell wall, could be achieved.

- Determination of rate constants for the reaction of aryl radicals with enolate ions
-
The rate of ring closure (kC) of o-(ω-alkenyl)aryl radicals by means of an intramolecular attack of the intermediate phenyl-type radical at the tethered double bond was found to be 4.2 × 108 S-1 (for 1?) and 7.6×107 S-1 (for 8?), both being 6-exo-trig processes, and 9.6 × 109 S-1 for the 5-exo-trig process of 3?. The kC rate constant of these radicals was calibrated with respect to a known rate of H-atom abstraction (kH). The photostimulated SRN1 reactions of radical clock precursor 1 with anions PhS- and (EtO)2PO- in Me2SO at 25 °C provided the rates of addition of these nucleophiles (kY) to intermediate 1? (3.2 × 108 and 2.5 × 109 M-1 S-1, respectively). In contrast, the analogous reaction of a ketone enolate ion with precursor 1 did not take the expected SRN1 course; instead an elimination reaction was favoured. Similarly, the reactions of radical clock precursors 3 or 8 with the enolate ion failed. However, investigation of the distribution of 9-anthracenyl (11?) or 1-naphthyl (12?) radicals between two competing reactions, namely combination with a nucleophile and H abstraction from the solvent (Me2SO), was successful and eventually enabled us to find the kY values for the addition of the enolate ion to these two aryl radical intermediates (4.4 × 108 and 2.9 × 109 M-1 S-1, respectively).

- Antihypertensive Activity of 6-Arylpyridopyrimidin-7-amine Derivatives
-
A series of 51 6-arylpyridopyrimidin-7-amine derivatives was prepared and evaluated for antihypertensive activity in the conscious spontaneously hypertensive rat.A number of these compounds, notably 6-(2,6-dichlorophenyl)-2-methylpyridopyrimidin-7-amine (36), lowered blood pressure in these rats in a gradual and sustained manner to normotensive levels at oral doses of 10-50 mg/kg.Normalized blood pressure levels could then be maintained by single daily oral doses.The effect of structural variation in the 6-aryl group and in the 2 and 4 positions of the pyridopyrimidine ring on activity is reported and discussed.
