The catalytic system composed by the laccase from Trametes versicolor and the oxy-radical TEMPO has been successfully applied in the sustainable oxidation of fourteen propargylic alcohols. The corresponding propargylic ketones were obtained in most cases in quantitative conversions (87–>99 % yield), demonstrating the efficiency of the chemoenzymatic methodology in comparison with traditional chemical oxidants, which usually lead to problems associated with the formation of by-products. Also, the stereoselective reduction of propargylic ketones was studied using alcohol dehydrogenases such as the one from Ralstonia species overexpressed in E. coli or the commercially available evo-1.1.200, allowing the access to both alcohol enantiomers mostly with complete conversions and variable selectivities depending on the aromatic pattern substitution (97–>99 % ee). To demonstrate the compatibility of the laccase-mediated oxidation and the alcohol dehydrogenase-catalyzed bioreduction, a deracemization strategy starting from the racemic compounds was developed through a sequential one-pot two-step process, obtaining a selection of (S)- or (R)-1-arylprop-2-yn-1-ols with excellent yields (>98 %) and selectivities (>98 % ee) depending on the alcohol dehydrogenase employed.

Organocatalysis was shown to facilitate conjugate additions to vinylogous esters and amides for the first time. Subsequent elimination of a β-alcohol or amine provided π-conjugated β-substituted enones. Remarkably, nucleophile addition to the electron-rich vinylogous substrates is more rapid than classical enones, forming monosubstituted products. A doubly organocatalytic (organic diol and methyl aniline) conjugate addition synthesized the products directly from alkynyl ketones. Both of these catalytic transformations are orthogonal to transition metal catalysis, allowing for good yields, easily accessible or commercially available reagents, high selectivity, reagent recovery and recyclability, facile scalability, and exceptional functional group tolerance.

The design of covalent adaptable networks (CANs) relies on the ability to trigger the rearrangement of bonds within a polymer network. Simple activated alkynes are now used as versatile reversible cross-linkers for thiols. The click-like thiol–yne cross-linking reaction readily enables network synthesis from polythiols through a double Michael addition with a reversible and tunable second addition step. The resulting thioacetal cross-linking moieties are robust but dynamic linkages. A series of different activated alkynes have been synthesized and systematically probed for their ability to produce dynamic thioacetal linkages, both in kinetic studies of small molecule models, as well as in stress relaxation and creep measurements on thiol–yne-based CANs. The results are further rationalized by DFT calculations, showing that the bond exchange rates can be significantly influenced by the choice of the activated alkyne cross-linker.

A straightforward indole synthesis via annulation of C-nitrosoaromatics with conjugated terminal alkynones was realised achieving a simple, highly regioselective, atom- and step economical access to 3-aroylindoles in moderate to good yields. Further functionalizations of indole scaffolds were investigated and an easy way to JWH-018, a synthetic cannabinoid, was achieved.

Cryptococcus neoformans is a pathogen that is common in immunosuppressed patients. It can be treated with amphotericin B and fluconazole, but the mortality rate remains 15 to 30%. Thus, novel and more effective anticryptococcal therapies are needed. The troponoids are based on natural products isolated from western red cedar, and have a broad range of antimicrobial activities. Extracts of western red cedar inhibit the growth of several fungal species, but neither western red cedar extracts nor troponoid derivatives have been tested against C. neoformans. We screened 56 troponoids for their ability to inhibit C. neoformans growth and to assess whether they may be attractive candidates for development into anticryptococcal drugs. We determined MICs at which the compounds inhibited 80% of cryptococcal growth relative to vehicle-treated controls and identified 12 compounds with MICs ranging from 0.2 to 15 μM. We screened compounds with MICs of ≤20 μM for cytotoxicity in liver hepatoma cells. Fifty percent cytotoxicity values (CC50s) ranged from 4 to >100 μM. The therapeutic indexes (TI, CC50/MIC) for most of the troponoids were fairly low, with most being 8, including a tropone with a TI of >300. These tropones are fungicidal and are not antagonistic when used in combination with fluconazole or amphotericin B. Inhibition by these two tropones remains unchanged under conditions favoring cryptococcal capsule formation. These data support the hypothesis that troponoids may be a productive scaffold for the development of novel anticryptococcal therapies.

A mild Zn-catalyzed intermolecular Diels-Alder/ene tandem reaction with styrene as a 4π-component is reported. A variety of dihydronaphthalene products could be prepared in moderate to good yields. Moreover, a combination of DFT calculations and experiments was performed to further understand the mechanism of this unique tandem reaction.
Oxidation of propargylic alcohols with a 2-quinoxalinol salen copper(II) complex and tert-butyl hydroperoxide

The copper(II) complex of 2-quinoxalinol salen (salqu) is an efficient catalyst for the selective oxidation of propargylic alcohols to yield the corresponding α,β-acetylenic carbonyl compounds when used in combination with the oxidant tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP). Excellent yields (up to 99 %) are achieved for a variety of propargylic alcohols within 1 h of reaction time. The (salqu)copper(II) complex with TBHP can be used with propargylic alcohols that contain alkyl groups in the α-position, which can be difficult to oxidize selectively with other commonly available methods. By using this catalytic protocol, excellent selectivity was also achieved for the oxidation of propargylic alcohols over that of isolated hydroxy groups, triple bonds, or propargylic methylene groups. The 2-quinoxalinol salen copper(II) complex is an efficient catalyst when used with tert-butyl hydroperoxide for the oxidation of propargylic alcohols to yield the corresponding carbonyl compounds. This catalytic system provides excellent selectivity for the reaction with propargylic alcohols, and high yields (up to 99 %) are achieved within 1 h and with 1 mol-% of catalyst loading. Copyright
