- N-Heterocyclic carbene triazolium salts containing brominated aromatic motifs: Features and synthetic protocol
-
In this work, we provide a brief overview of the role of N-aryl substituents on triazolium N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) catalysis. This synopsis provides context for the disclosed synthetic protocol for new chiral N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) triazolium salts with brominated aromatic motifs. Incorporating brominated aryl rings into NHC structures is challenging, probably due to the substantial steric and electronic influence these substituents exert throughout the synthetic protocol. However, these exact characteristics make it an interesting N-aryl substituent, because the electronic and steric diversity it offers could find broad use in organometallic- A nd organo-catalysis. Following the synthetic reaction by NMR guided the extensive modification of a known protocol to enable the preparation of these challenging NHC pre-catalysts.

- Practical Synthesis of Chiral N-Heterocyclic Carbene Triazolium Salts Containing a Hydroxy Functional Handle
-
A library of functionalized chiral pyrrolidine-based N-heterocyclic carbene triazolium salts containing a hydroxy handle is prepared from readily accessible chiral (S)-pyroglutamic acid in eight steps. This improved synthetic protocol affords increased yields for known structures and 18 new NHCs are prepared by this method. The presence of a hydroxy handle offers potential for further functionalization and for non-covalent control over catalytic reactions in which the NHCs can serve as organocatalysts or ligands for organometallic catalysis.

- Discovery of Indolinone-Based Multikinase Inhibitors as Potential Therapeutics for Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
-
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious and deadly disease for which treatment options are limited. The recent approval of antifibrosis agent nintedanib represents one of the first therapeutic approaches for the treatment of IPF. Here, we report novel indolinone-based multikinase inhibitors that target angiogenesis and fibrosis pathways and may serve as potential therapeutics for IPF. KBP-7018 is a novel, tyrosine kinase-selective inhibitor with potent effects on three fibrotic kinases (c-KIT, PDGFR, and RET). The pharmacokinetics (PK) properties of KBP-7018 were favorable in mice, rats, and dogs. In a bleomycin (BLM)-induced mouse pulmonary fibrosis model, 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg daily doses (q.d.) of KBP-7018 improved the 28-day survival rate in a dose-dependent manner. The improved efficacy of KBP-7018 compared to nintedanib provided a certain level of chemical validation for the involvement of PDGFR, c-KIT, and RET in IPF. Thus, KBP-7018 represents a novel multikinase inhibitor with differentiated activity, highly enhanced selectivity, and acceptable PK profiles that will enter phase I clinical trials.

- Preparation method for L-hydroxyproline
-
The invention provides a preparation method for L-hydroxyproline. The preparation method comprises the following steps: preparing pyroglutamic acid; preparing pyroglutamate; preparing pyroglutamic acid alcohol; preparing (3R,7aS)-3-phenyltetrahydropyrrolo[1,2]oxazole-5(3H)-one; and preparing L-hydroxyproline. Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects: the method overcomes the problems that a traditional manner of extraction of L-hydroxyproline from an animal donor has potential safety hazards and that production of L-hydroxyproline is limited as biological raw materials are utilized, and can synthesize L-hydroxyproline under the condition of shortage of biological raw materials; synthetic methods for L-hydroxyproline are enriched; the added value of L-hydroxyproline is increased; the application scope of L-hydroxyproline can be further broadened; prepared L-hydroxyproline is high in yield and purity, so the synthesis purity of atazanavir is indirectly improved; and common raw materials can be selected in preparation of L-hydroxyproline, so production cost is low.

- First total synthesis of oteromycin utilizing one-pot four-step cascade reaction strategy
-
The first total synthesis of oteromycin was investigated. Our previously reported convergent strategy for the synthesis of α-acyl-γ-hydroxy- γ-lactams was first applied for the total synthesis, however, the final deprotection of the methoxyaminal moiety could not be achieved since an unexpected intramolecular Diels-Alder (IMDA) reaction occurred. Therefore, a novel one-pot four-step cascade reaction starting from α-selenolactam was investigated. The efficient synthetic strategy was successfully developed to afford the desired oteromycin, and its complete structure elucidation including the stereochemistry at C24 position was also accomplished.

- The fluorine-NHC gauche effect: A structural and computational study
-
Herein, we report the synthesis and X-ray structural analysis of a collection of fluorinated metal N-heterocyclic carbenes (Ag, Au, Pd, Rh, Ir) and their precursor salts. The common structural feature of these species is a flanking fluoroethyl group, which is either freely rotating or embedded within a bicyclic framework. Solid state analysis confirmed a gauche conformational preference in all cases with the fluorine adopting a syn clinal arrangement (φ[NCCF]～60°) with respect to the triazolium nitrogen at the vicinal position of the NHC. A density functional theory analysis was employed to quantify these effects and evaluate the influence of electronic modulation of the carbenic carbon [(CN+); neutral carbene (C:); metal-bound carbene (CM)], on the relative gauche/anti preference, thus highlighting the potential of this conformational phenomenon as a useful molecular design strategy for controlling the topology of organometallic complexes.

-
The synthesis of new chiral seleno-, telluro-, and thio-N-Boc-γ-amino acids is described herein. These new compounds were prepared through a simple and short synthetic route, from the inexpensive and commercially-available amino acid l-glutamic acid. The products, with a highly modular character, were obtained in good to excellent yields, via hydrolysis of chalcogen pyroglutamic derivatives with overall retention of the l-glutamic acid stereochemistry. Also, an l-diselenide-N-Boc-γ-amino acid was prepared in good yield. This new synthetic route represents an efficient method for preparing new l-chalcogen- and l-diselenide-γ-amino acids with biological potential.

The synthetic design followed led to the insertion of various substituents at positions 1 and 5 of the 2-pyrrolidinone ring, including the imidazole moiety. Some of them possess two or three stereogenic centers, the configuration of which was retained under the mild conditions used. The new compounds also carry an imidazole moiety, which, along with the 2-pyrrolidinone template, may prove pivotal to several biological processes.

A series of 2′,3′-dideoxy-2′,2′-difluoro-4′- azanucleosides of both pyrimidine and purine nucleobases were synthesized in an efficient manner starting from commercially available L-pyroglutamic acid via glycosylation of difluorinated pyrrolidine derivative 15. Several 4′-azanucleosides were prepared as a separable mixture of α- and β-anomers. The 6-chloropurine analogue was obtained as a mixture of N 7 and N9 regioisomers and their structures were identified based on NOESY and HMBC spectral data. Among the 4′-azanucleosides tested as HIV-1 inhibitors in primary human lymphocytes, four compounds showed modest activity and the 5-fluorouracil analogue (18d) was found to be the most active compound (EC50 = 36.9 μM) in this series. None of the compounds synthesized in this study demonstrated anti-HCV activity.

- Synthesis, in silico docking experiments of new 2-pyrrolidinone derivatives and study of their anti-inflammatory activity
-
A new class of 2-pyrrolidinone derivatives was designed, synthesized, and tested for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. The compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against LOX. The most potent among them, 14d [IC50 0.08 (±0.005) mM], and 14e [IC50 0.0705 (±0.003) mM], were also tested in vivo. The compound 14d induced equipotent inhibition against rat paw edema, which is very close to the effect produced by the commonly used standard, namely indomethacin (47%). The LOX inhibitory activity of the compound 14e proceeds in parallel to the % inhibitory value of lipid peroxidation meaning that this LOX inhibitory activity is supported by the lipid peroxidation inhibition. The molecular features that govern their bioactivity were explored through in silico docking experiments. The results showed that acidic moieties must be placed in certain distance and orientation in the active site of LOX enzyme in order to productively exhibit inhibitory activity. In addition, the 2-pyrrolidinone template significantly contributes in the inhibitory properties of the new compounds.

- Late-stage diversification of chiral N-heterocyclic-carbene precatalysts for enantioselective homoenolate additions
-
A library of chiral triazolium salts has been prepared by late-state diversification of a triazolium amine salt. By utilizing a primary amine as a functional handle, a single triazolium salt can be transformed into a variety of chiral N-heterocyclic carbene precatalysts. This approach makes the preparation of chiral N-heterocyclic carbenes possible by a single-step modification of a triazolium salt, rather than the usual need for multistep organic synthesis and challenging heterocycle formation for each member of a catalyst library. We have screened these catalysts for control of diastereo- and enantioselectivity in a γ-lactam-forming reaction between α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and cyclic ketimines. Saving the best for last: Enantioselective homoenolate additions have been hindered by the challenge of synthesizing N-mesityl-substituted azolium salts. A library of pyrrole-functionalized chiral triazolium salts was prepared by direct modification of the preformed azolium core. Copyright

Studies undertaken to improve the regioselectivity and efficiency of a key Diels-Alder reaction utilizing a novel protecting group strategy, microwave chemistry, and other strategies are described. Further insights regarding the suitability of different protecting groups during the epoxidation/chlorination/ring contraction sequence are disclosed. Several interesting by-products from this reaction sequence are reported. These studies have led to a unified synthetic strategy to the axinellamines and palau'amine.

-
The 2,5-trans-substituted oligopyrrolidines constitute a promising class of novel RNA-binding agents as well as potential building blocks for artificial anion channels. A convergent synthesis of terpyrrolidine 1 and pyrrolidino-THF-pyrrolidine 2 is reported, relying upon convergent coupling of 2,5-trans-pyrrolidinecarboxaldehydes through bridging alkyne units under Felkin-Anh control and subsequent closure of the central ring. After complete deprotection, the free polyamine products were isolated in excellent yield and purity. Crystal structure analyses of a terpyrrolidine and a pyrrolidino-THF-pyrrolidine documented their helical privileged conformations. The compounds were then screened for RNA cleavage activity. Unlike the only weakly active simple polyamines, p-nitrosulfonamide 33 was found to induce cleavage at mM concentrations under physiologically relevant conditions.

- Catalytic Hydrogenation of Chiral α-Amino and α-Hydroxy Esters at Room Temperature with Nishimura Catalyst without Racemization
-
The hydrogenation of carboxylic acid derivatives at room temperature was investigated. With a mixed Rh/Pt oxide (Nishimura catalyst), low to medium activity was observed for various α-amino and α-hydroxy esters. At 100 bar hydrogen pressure and 10% catalysts loading, high yields of the desired amino alcohols and diols were obtained without racemization. The most suitable α-substituents were NH2, NHR, and OH, whereas β-NH2 were less effective. Usually, aromatic rings were also hydrogenated, but with the free bases of amino acids as substrates, some selectivity was observed. No reaction was found for α-NR2, α-OR, and unfunctionalized esters; acids and amides were also not reduced under these conditions. A working hypothesis for the mode of action of the catalyst is presented.

- Synthesis of optically active functionalised cyclic ketimines and their application in enantioselective catalysis
-
The synthesis of enantiomerically pure cyclic ketimines attached to moieties containing additional donor atoms is described. The resulting optically active chelating ligands are tested in the rhodium-catalysed enantioselective hydrosilylation of acetophenone with respect to their inductive potential.

- Diastereoselective formation of a quaternary center in a pyroglutamate derivative. Formal synthesis of Monatin
-
In this communication we describe a highly diastereoselective formation of a quaternary center present in the structure of Monatin, a potent sweetening agent isolated from natural sources. The synthesis of a derivative useful for biological studies on the interactions of this type of sweetening substance on taste receptors is described. The strategy relies on the oxidation of an enolate originating from a pyroglutamate derivative followed by a highly diastereoselective alkylation with an electrophile obtained from indole.

- Synthesis and analysis of the sterically constrained L-glutamine analogues (3S,4R)-3,4-dimethyl-L-glutamine and (3S,4R)-3,4-dimethyl-L-pyroglutamic acid
-
The nonproteinogenic amino acids (3S,4R)-3,4-dimethyl-L-pyroglutamic acid and (3S,4R)-3,4-dimethyl-L-glutamine - found in the cyclic depsipeptides callipeltin B, callipeltin A, and papuamide A - were synthesized from a common intermediate derived from L-pyroglutamic acid. The diastereoselective introduction of the methyl groups was accomplished by cuprate addition and enolate alkylation, followed by a kinetic epimerization of the C-4 methyl substituent. (3S,4R)-3,4-Dimethyl-L-glutamine shows a conformational restriction of its side chain which may be related to its biological function in the natural products where it is found.

- A facile entry to bicyclic systems from L-glutamic acid
-
An efficient synthesis of bicyclic heterocycles has been realized from L-glutamic acid. The key step is the construction of the pyrrole ring in a single step, using tosylmethyl isocyanide (TosMIC) methodology. Structures of reaction intermediates and final products were investigated using density functional theory calculations.

-
A procedure for the solid phase synthesis of optically active substituted N-tosyl amines from the corresponding N-tosyl lactams has been developed. A variety of N-tosyl amines were synthesized by ring-opening of N- tosyl lactams by various nucleophiles such as alkoxides, amines or Grignard reagents.

- Total synthesis of (+)-calyculin A and (-)-calyculin B: Cyanotetraene construction, asymmetric synthesis of the C(26-37) oxazole, fragment assembly, and final elaboration
-
A convergent total synthesis leading to (+)-calyculin A and (-)-calyculin B (1 and 2), antipodes of the potent, highly selective and remarkably cell-permeable phosphatase inhibitors calyculins A and B, has been achieved. In the preceding paper we outlined the asymmetric synthesis of the C(9-25) spiroketal dipropionate subunit (+)-BC; herein we describe construction of the C(1-8) cyanotetraene, an asymmetric synthesis of the C(26-37) oxazole, fragment assembly and final elaboration to (+)-1 and (-)-2. Highlights of the synthesis include: application of a one-pot three-component Suzuki reaction for the construction of phosphonate A, a bifunctional triene precursor of the light sensitive C(1-8) cyanotetraene subunit, an asymmetric synthesis of the C(26-32) oxazole (-)-D, exploiting the Silks-Odom 77Se NMR protocol to assess enantiomeric purity, construction of the C(33-37) subtarget (-)-E in a highly stereocontrolled fashion via an acyliminium ion, and a concise, highly efficient sequence for fragment assembly and elaboration to (+)-calyculin A and (-)-calyculin B. The synthesis of (-)-2 also confirms the structure of calyculin B, previously based only on spectral comparison with calyculin A.

- Fleming-Tamao oxidation and masked hydroxyl functionality: Total synthesis of (+)-pramanicin and structural elucidation of the antifungal natural product (-)-pramanicin
-
The total synthesis of (+)-pramanicin (41b) is reported, thereby establishing the relative and absolute stereochemistry of the naturally occurring antifungal agent. The key steps involve (i) conjugate addition of the diethyl((diethylamino)diphenylsilyl)zincate to a suitably protected γ- lactam 3 and quenching of the resultant enolate with the α,β-unsaturated γ,δ-epoxy aldehyde 2 (X = H), (ii) Ni(acac)2-catalyzed hydroxylation of a β-dicarbonyl array, and (iii) Fleming-Tamao oxidation to reveal the masked C-3 hydroxyl group.

- Stereoselective synthesis of a terpyrrolidine unit, a potential building block for anion recognition
-
The first stereoselective synthesis of a trans-threo-trans-threo-trans terpyrrolidine was achieved. A bidirectional strategy involving double acetylide coupling of two trans-N-BOC-pyrrolidine-aldehydes 3, epimerisation-free hydrogenation and ring closure via a seven-membered cyclic sulfate gives access to the terpyrrolidine scaffold.
