Direct enantioselective hydrogenation of unsaturated compounds to generate chiral three-dimensional motifs is one of the most straightforward and important approaches in synthetic chemistry. We realized the Ru(II)-NHC-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-quinolones under mild reaction conditions. Alkyl-, aryl- and halogen-substituted optically active dihydro-2-quinolones were obtained in high yields with moderate to excellent enantioselectivities. The reaction provides an efficient and atom-economic pathway to construct simple chiral 3,4-dihydro-2-quinolones. The desired products could be further reduced to tetrahydroquinolines and octahydroquinolones.

Histone methyltransferases are involved in various biological functions, and these methylation regulating enzymes' abnormal expression or activity has been noted in several human cancers. Within this context, SET domain-containing (lysine methyltransferase) 7 (SET7, also called KMT7, SETD7, SET9) is of increasing significance due to its diverse roles in biological functions and diseases, such as diabetes, cancers, alopecia areata, atherosclerotic vascular disease, HIV, and HCV. In this study, DC-S100, which was discovered by pharmacophore- and docking-based virtual screening, was identified as the hit compound of SET7 inhibitor. Structure-activity relationship (SAR) analysis was performed on analogs of DC-S100 and according to the putative binding mode of DC-S100, structure modifications were made to improve its activity. Of note, compounds DC-S238 and DC-S239, with IC50 values of 4.88 and 4.59 μM, respectively, displayed selectivity for DNMT1, DOT1L, EZH2, NSD1, SETD8, and G9a. Taken together, DC-S238 and DC-S239 can serve as leads for further investigation as SET7 inhibitors and the chemical toolkits for functional biology studies of SET7.

Monoselective γ-C-H olefination and carbonylation of aliphatic acids has been accomplished by using a combination of a quinoline-based ligand and a weakly coordinating amide directing group. The reaction provides a new route for constructing richly functionalized all-carbon quaternary carbon centers at the β-position of aliphatic acids.
