- Overcoming peri- and ortho-selectivity in C-H methylation of 1-naphthaldehydes by a tunable transient ligand strategy
-
Methyl groups widely exist in bioactive molecules, and site-specific methylation has become a valuable strategy for their structural functionalization. Aiming to introduce this smallest alkyl handle, a highly regioselective peri- and ortho-C-H methylation of 1-naphthaldehyde by using a transient ligand strategy has been developed. A series of methyl-substituted naphthalene frameworks have been prepared in moderate to excellent yields. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that peri-methylation is controlled by the higher electronic density of the peri-position of 1-naphthaldehyde as well as the formation of intermediary 5,6-fused bicyclic palladacycles, whereas experimental studies and theoretical calculations inferred that a 5-membered iridacycle at the ortho-position of 1-naphthaldehyde leads to energetically favorable ortho-methylation via an interconversion between the peri-iridacycle and ortho-iridacycle. Importantly, to demonstrate the synthetic utility of this method, we show that this strategy can serve as a platform for the synthesis of multi-substituted naphthalene-based bioactive molecules and natural products.

- Development of a Cross-Conjugated Vinylogous [4+2] Anionic Annulation and Application to the Total Synthesis of Natural Antibiotic (±)-ABX
-
The cross-conjugated vinylogous [4+2] anionic annulation has been newly developed, the cascade process of which has a high preference for regiochemical control and chemoselectivity, giving rise to exclusively Michael-type adducts in moderate to high yields (up to 94 %, 35 examples). By making use of this approach as a key operation, the first total synthesis of natural antibiotic ABX, in racemic form, has been successfully achieved in a concise 7-step sequence with an overall yield of about 20 %.

- Tuning the Reactivity of Peroxo Anhydrides for Aromatic C-H Bond Oxidation
-
Phenol moieties are key structural motifs in many areas of chemical research from polymers to pharmaceuticals. Herein, we report on the design and use of a structurally demanding cyclic peroxide (spiro[bicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-2,4′-[1,2]dioxolane]-3′,5′-dione, P4) for the direct hydroxylation of aromatic substrates. The new peroxide benefits from high thermal stability and can be synthesized from readily available starting materials. The aromatic C-H oxidation using P4 exhibits generally good yields (up to 96%) and appreciable regioselectivities.

- Furanosteroid studies. Improved synthesis of the A,B,C,E-ring core of viridin
-
The tetracyclic core skeleton of the furanosteroid viridin is prepared in nine steps from readily available materials. The key step in the synthesis is a facile acid-promoted cyclodehydration of an aryloxyketone to prepare the benzofuran moiety. From this intermediate, the known target skeleton is prepared in four steps. This new synthesis is a six-step improvement over the previously reported one.

- Structure-affinity studies for a novel series of homochiral naphtho and tetrahydronaphtho analogues of α1 antagonist WB-4101
-
A number of enantiomeric pairs of naphthodioxane, tetrahydronaphthodioxane and naphthoxy analogues of WB-4101 (1) were designed and synthesized in order to improve the selectivity profile of the parent compound, hopefully in favour of the α1a-AR with respect to the other two α1 subtypes and the 5-HT1A receptor. The new compounds 2-8 and, in addition, the two enantiomers of 1 were tested in binding assays on the α1a-AR, α1b-AR, α1d-AR, and the 5-HT1A receptor. Two of them, namely the naphtho- and tetrahydronaphthodioxane derivatives (S)-2 and (S)-3, showed lower, but significantly more specific α1a affinity than (S)-1, while the two enantiomers of the 2-methoxy-1-naphthoxy analogue 6 maintained most of the very high α1a affinity of (S)-1 and its α1a versus α1b selectivity slightly increasing the α1a/α1d and α1a/5HT 1A affinity ratios. The SAR data were evaluated in the light of known α1 subtype pharmacophores and of the α1a-AR binding mode of WB-4101 resultant from literature mutagenesis studies disclosing some interesting consonances with these models.

- Regioselective Monomethylation of Unsymmetrical Naphthalenediols with Methanolic HCl
-
Treatment of naphthalene-1,3-diol and naphthalene-1,7-diol with methanol containing dry hydrogen chloride at room temperature gives exclusively 3-methoxy-1-naphthol and 7-methoxy-1-naphthol, respectively.Of the other two unsymmetrical naphthalenediols, the 1,2-isomer was unreactive and the 1,6-isomer gave a mixture of regioisomers under the same conditions.Two symmetrical diols (the 1,5- and 2,7-isomers) examined by the same procedure gave the monomethyl ethers in 60-70percent yields.
