- Potassium tert-Butoxide-Mediated Condensation Cascade Reaction: Transition Metal-Free Synthesis of Multisubstituted Aryl Indoles and Benzofurans
-
An efficient and facile method to synthesize valuable disubstituted 2-aryl indoles and benzofurans in good yields has been demonstrated, based on a tert-butoxide-mediated condensation reaction involving a vinyl sulfoxide intermediate. Products are obtained from N- or O-benzyl benzaldehydes using dimethyl sulfoxide as a carbon source. The methodology features a wide functional group tolerance and transition metal-free environment. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction involves a tandem aldol reaction/Michael addition/dehydrosulfenylation/isomerization sequence through an ionic protocol.

- Rh-Catalyzed Asymmetric Conjugate Addition of Arylboronic Acids to 3-Arylpropenoates: Enantioselective Synthesis of (R)-Tolterodine
-
A highly enantioselective conjugate addition of arylboronic acids to 3-arylpropenoates is presented. The rhodium complexes obtained from deoxycholic acid derived binaphthyl phosphites showed good activity as well as very high enantioselectivity (ee up to 99 %) in the conjugate addition to different ethyl-3-arylpropenoates, allowing to obtain useful chiral building blocks for the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients. The method was applied to the enantioselective synthesis of the antimuscarinic drug (R)-tolterodine.

- Multidimensional optimization of promising antitumor xanthone derivatives
-
A promising antitumor xanthone derivative was optimized following a multidimensional approach that involved the synthesis of 17 analogues, the study of their lipophilicity and solubility, and the evaluation of their growth inhibitory activity on four human tumor cell lines. A new synthetic route for the hit xanthone derivative was also developed and applied for the synthesis of its analogues. Among the used cell lines, the HL-60 showed to be in general more sensitive to the compounds tested, with the most potent compound having a GI50 of 5.1 μM, lower than the hit compound. Lipophilicity was evaluated by the partition coefficient (Kp) of a solute between buffer and two membrane models, namely liposomes and micelles. The compounds showed a log Kp between 3 and 5 and the two membrane models showed a good correlation (r2 = 0.916) between each other. Studies concerning relationship between solubility and structure were developed for the hit compound and 5 of its analogues.

- A direct and mild formylation method for substituted benzenes utilizing dichloromethyl methyl ether-silver trifluoromethanesulfonate
-
A silver trifluoromethanesulfonate (AgOTf)-promoted direct and mild formylation of benzenes has been developed. The reaction utilizing dichloromethyl methyl ether (Cl2CHOMe) and AgOTf powerfully formylated various substituted benzenes under temperature conditions as low as -78 C without losing the protecting groups on the phenolic hydroxyl group.

- Expeditious synthesis of benzopyrans via lewis acid-catalyzed C-H functionalization: Remarkable enhancement of reactivity by an ortho substituent
-
An expeditious construction of a benzopyran skeleton via Lewis acid-catalyzed C-H functionalization was achieved. In this process, a [1,5] hydride shift and 6-endo cyclization successively occurred to give benzopyrans. The presence of substituents ortho to the alkoxy group significantly enhanced the reactivity, affording the desired compounds in excellent chemical yields with short reaction times.

Asymmetric 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to (£)-methyl 2-cyano-3-arylpropenoates proceeded in the presence of a rhodium catalyst (3 mol %) coordinated with a chiral diene ligand, (R,R)-Ph-bod*, to give high yields of the corresponding methyl 3,3-diaryl-2-cyanopropanoates with high enantioselectivity (up to 99% ee). This catalytic asymmetric transformation was applied to the asymmetric synthesis of (R)-tolterodine. American Chemical Society.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of thiazolidine-2,4-dione and 2,4-thione derivatives as inhibitors of translation initiation
-
A series of 2′-benzyloxy-5′-substituted-5-benzylidene- thiazolidine-2,4-thione and -dione derivatives was synthesized and evaluated as inhibitors of translation initiation. In an effort to generate novel translation initiation inhibitors for cancer therapy, a series of 2′-benzyloxy- 5′-substituted-5-benzylidene-thiazolidine-2,4-thione and dione derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for activity in translation initiation specific assays. Several candidates of the 5-benzylidene-thiazolidine-2,4-diones (3c, 3d, and 3f) and -thiones (2b, 2e, and 2j), inhibit cell growth with low μM GI50 mediated by inhibition of translation initiation, which involves partial depletion of intracellular Ca2+ stores and strong phosphorylation of eIF2Iα.
