- Highly Regio- A nd Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Conjugated α-Substituted Dienoic Acids
-
Highly regio- A nd enantioselective hydrogenation of conjugated α-substituted dienoic acids was realized for the first time using Trifer-Rh complex, providing a straightforward method for the synthesis of chiral α-substituted ?,?′-unsaturated acids. DFT calculations revealed N+H-O hydrogen bonding interaction is formed to stabilize the transition state and the coordination of 4,5-double bond to Rh(III) center would facilitate the reductive elimination process. This hydrogenation provided a gram-scale synthesis of the precursor of sacubitril.

- Olefin Oxyamination with Unfunctionalized N-Alkylanilines
-
N-Alkylanilines have rarely been used in oxyamination reactions, due to the normally necessary pre-functionalization of the N-atom. Also, the formation of aminium radical cations (ARCs) of anilines bearing alkyl substituents is plagued by the ARC's tendency to instantaneously convert to α-amino radicals or iminium ions. We present a readily available reagent combination that addresses both challenges, and thus allows for an oxyamination with N-alkylanilines via ARCs as the crucial reactive intermediates and excellent diastereoselectivity. (Figure presented.).

- Arene Trifunctionalization with Highly Fused Ring Systems through a Domino Aryne Nucleophilic and Diels–Alder Cascade
-
A convenient and efficient domino aryne process was developed under transition-metal-free conditions to generate a range of tetra- and pentacyclic ring systems. This transformation was realized via a 1,2-benzdiyne through a nucleophilic and Diels–Alder reaction cascade using styrene as the diene moiety. Three new chemical bonds, namely one C?N and two C?C bonds, and two benzofused rings could be constructed concomitantly, which was made possible by distinct chemoselective control at both the 1,2-aryne and 2,3-aryne stages. Moreover, in-depth studies were carried out on the domino aryne precursors and controlling the diastereoselectivity.

- Discovery of Potent Benzofuran-Derived Diapophytoene Desaturase (CrtN) Inhibitors with Enhanced Oral Bioavailability for the Treatment of Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) Infections
-
Blocking the staphyloxanthin biosynthesis process has emerged as a new promising antivirulence strategy. Previously, we first revealed that CrtN is a druggable target against infections caused by pigmented Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and that naftifine was an effective CrtN inhibitor. Here, we identify a new type of benzofuran-derived CrtN inhibitor with submicromolar IC50 values that is based on the naftifine scaffold. The most potent analog, 5m, inhibits the pigment production of S. aureus Newman and three MRSA strains, with IC50 values of 0.38-5.45 nM, without any impact on the survival of four strains (up to 200 μM). Notably, compound 5m (1 μM) could significantly sensitize four strains to immune clearance and could effectively attenuate the virulence of three strains in vivo. Moreover, 5m was determined to be a weak antifungal reagent (MIC > 16 μg/mL). Combined with good oral bioavailability (F = 42.2%) and excellent safety profiles, these data demonstrate that 5m may be a good candidate for the treatment of MRSA infections.

- Copper-catalyzed nucleophilic trifluoromethylation of allylic halides: A simple approach to allylic trifluoromethylation
-
Trifluoromethylation: The treatment of allylic halides with trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane in the presence of a catalytic amount of copper(I) thiophene-2-carboxylate (CuTC) gives the corresponding allylic trifluoromethylation products in good to high yields and with complete regioselectivity (see scheme). The use of THF as a solvent is crucial for obtaining good yields of product.
