- Iron-Catalyzed Regioselective Decarboxylative Alkylation of Coumarins and Chromones with Alkyl Diacyl Peroxides
-
A facile iron-catalyzed decarboxylative radical coupling of alkyl diacyl peroxides with coumarins or chromones has been developed, affording a highly efficient approach to synthesize a variety of α-alkylated coumarins and β-alkylated chromones. The reaction proceeded smoothly without adding any ligand or additive and provided the corresponding products containing a wide scope of functional groups in moderate to excellent yields. This protocol was highlighted by its high regioselectivity, readily available starting materials, and operational simplicity.

- Discovery of Chromane Containing Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) NS5A Inhibitors with Improved Potency against Resistance-Associated Variants
-
The discovery of potent and pan-genotypic HCV NS5A inhibitors faces many challenges including the significant diversity among genotypes, substantial potency shift conferred on some key resistance-associated variants, inconsistent SARs between different genotypes and mutants, and the lacking of models of inhibitor/protein complexes for rational inhibitor design. As part of ongoing efforts on HCV NS5A inhibition at Merck, we now describe the discovery of a novel series of chromane containing NS5A inhibitors. SAR studies around the "Z" group of the tetracyclic indole scaffold explored fused bicyclic rings as alternates to the phenyl group of elbasvir (1, MK-8742) and identified novel chromane and 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran derivatives as "Z" group replacements offered good potency across all genotypes. This effort, incorporating the C-1 fluoro substitution at the tetracyclic indole core, led to the discovery of a new series of NS5A inhibitors, such as compounds 14 and 25-28, with significantly improved potency against resistance-associated variants, such as GT2b, GT1a Y93H, and GT1a L31V. Compound 14 also showed reasonable PK exposures in preclinical species (rat and dog).

- Efficient synthesis of chromones with alkenyl functionalities by the heck reaction
-
The usefulness of the Heck reaction in the field of chromones has been demonstrated. Bromochromones with the halogen atom in their rings A and B were reacted with various terminal alkenes to give hitherto unknown alkenyl-substituted chromones. Reactivity of the substrates was found to markedly depend on the position of the bromine atom. Under phosphine-free conditions using a phase-transfer catalyst additive (tetrabutylammonium bromide), shorter reaction periods and usually higher yields were obtained.
