- Metal-Free Aerobic Oxidative Selective C-C Bond Cleavage in Heteroaryl-Containing Primary and Secondary Alcohols
-
A transition-metal-free aerobic oxidative selective C-C bond-cleavage reaction in primary and secondary heteroaryl alcohols is reported. This reaction was highly efficient and tolerated various heteroaryl alcohols, generating a carboxylic acid derivative and a neutral heteroaromatic compound. Experimental studies combined with density functional theory calculations revealed the mechanism underlying the selective C-C bond cleavage. This strategy also provides an alternative simple approach to carboxylation reaction.

- Synthesis and structure-activity relationships of 5-phenylthiophenecarboxylic acid derivatives as antirheumatic agents
-
5-(Phenylthiophene)-3-carboxylic acid (2a), a metabolite of esonarimod (1), which was developed as a new antirheumatic drug, was considered as a lead compound for new antirheumatic drugs. A new series of 2a derivatives were synthesized and their characteristic pharmacological effects, that is their antagonistic effect toward interleukin (IL)-1 in mice and the suppressive effect against adjuvant-induced arthritis (AIA) in rats, were evaluated and compared with those of 1. The structure-activity relationships indicated that [5-(4-bromophenyl)-thiophen-3-yl]acetic acid (5d), methyl [5-(4-chlorophenyl)-thiophen-3-yl]acetate (5h), and methyl [5-(4-bromophenyl)-thiophen-3-yl]acetate (5i) suppressed AIA more potently than 1 and all of the other synthesized compounds.
