- Dearomative Allylation of Naphthyl Cyanohydrins by Palladium Catalysis: Catalyst-Enhanced Site Selectivity
-
A dearomative allylation of naphthyl cyanohydrins with allyl borates and allyl stannanes under palladium catalysis was developed. At the initial stage of this study, the dearomative reaction (C4 substitution of the aromatics) was competing with benzyl substitution. To circumvent this issue, the use of palladium and meta-disubstituted triarylphosphine as the catalyst in a 1:1 ratio was found to enhance the site selectivity, furnishing the desired dearomatized products. Further derivatizations of products were also successful.

- C?I-Selective Cross-Coupling Enabled by a Cationic Palladium Trimer
-
While there is a growing interest in harnessing synergistic effects of more than one metal in catalysis, relatively little is known beyond bimetallic systems. This report describes the straightforward access to an air-stable Pd trimer and presents unambiguous reactivity data of its privileged capability to differentiate C?I over C?Br bonds in C?C bond formations (arylation and alkylation) of polyhalogenated arenes, which typical Pd0 and PdI-PdI catalysts fail to deliver. Experimental and computational reactivity data, including the first location of a transition state for bond activation by the trimer, are presented, supporting direct trimer reactivity to be feasible.

- Intramolecular photocycloaddition reactions of 2- and 4-(5-arylpent-4-enyl)-1-cyanonaphthalenes
-
Photoreactions of 1-cyanonaphthalene derivatives containing 5-arylpent-4-enyl groups at C-2 or C-4 of the naphthalene ring were investigated. Photoreactions of C-2 derivatives in benzene or CH3CN generated intramolecular [2 + 2] and [3 + 2] photocycloadducts. Substances bearing electron-rich and electron-poor phenyl groups produced respective [2 + 2] and [3 + 2] photocycloadducts preferentially. In contrast, photoreactions of C-4 linked 1-cyanonaphthalenes produced intramolecular [4 + 2] photocycloadducts as main products along with stereoisomers of tricyclic compounds as minor products. The formation of [4 + 2] photocycloadducts was promoted by using benzophenone or Michler's ketone triplet photosensitization, and quenched by O2 or ferrocene. Intramolecular singlet exciplexes, which serve as important intermediates in the mechanistic pathways for these reactions, governed the site-selectivities in photoreactions of both of the 2- and 4-(5-arylpent-4-enyl)-1-cyanonaphthalenes. In addition, [4 + 2] photocycloadducts were observed to undergo di-π-methane rearrangement under irradiation conditions to produce angular triquinane derivatives.

- Systematic structure-activity relationship (SAR) exploration of diarylmethane backbone and discovery of a highly potent novel uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitor
-
In order to systematically explore and better understand the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of a diarylmethane backbone in the design of potent uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitors, 33 compounds (1a-1x and 1ha-1hi) were designed and synthesized, and their in vitro URAT1 inhibitory activities (IC50) were determined. The three-round systematic SAR exploration led to the discovery of a highly potent novel URAT1 inhibitor, 1h, which was 200-and 8-fold more potent than parent lesinurad and benzbromarone, respectively (IC50 = 0.035 μM against human URAT1 for 1h vs. 7.18 μM and 0.28 μM for lesinurad and benzbromarone, respectively). Compound 1h is the most potent URAT1 inhibitor discovered in our laboratories so far and also comparable to the most potent ones currently under development in clinical trials. The present study demonstrates that the diarylmethane backbone represents a very promising molecular scaffold for the design of potent URAT1 inhibitors.

- Carbocation Catalyzed Bromination of Alkyl Arenes, a Chemoselective sp3 vs. sp2 C?H functionalization.
-
The versatility of the trityl cation (TrBF4) as a highly efficient Lewis acid organocatalyst is demonstrated in a light induced benzylic brominaion of alkyl-arenes under mild conditions. The reaction was conducted at ambient temperature under common hood light (55 W fluorescent light) with catalyst loadings down to 2.0 mol% using N-bromosuccinimide (NBS) as the brominating agent. The protocol is applicable to an extensive number of substrates to give benzyl bromides in good to excellent yields. In contrast to most previously reported strategies, this protocol does not require any radical initiator or extensive heating. For electron-rich alkyl-arenes, the trityl ion catalyzed bromination could be easily switched between benzylic sp3 C?H functionalization and arene sp2 C?H functionalization by simply alternating the solvent. This chemoselective switch allows for high substrate control and easy preparation of benzyl bromides and bromoarenes, respectively. The chemoselective switch was also applied in a one-pot reaction of 1-methylnaphthalene for direct introduction of both sp3 C?Br and sp2 C?Br functionality. (Figure presented.).

- Discovery of flexible naphthyltriazolylmethane-based thioacetic acids as highly active uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1) inhibitors for the treatment of hyperuricemia of gout
-
Background: Gout is the most common inflammatory arthritis, which, if left untreated or inadequately treated, will lead to joint destruction, bone erosion and disability due to the crystal deposition. Uric acid transporter 1 (URAT1) was the promising therapeutic target for urate-lowering therapy. Objective: The goal of this work is to understand the structure-activity relationship (SAR) of a potent lesinurad-based hit, sodium 2-((5-bromo-4-((4-cyclopropyl-naphth-1-yl)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetate (1c), and based on that discover a more potent URAT1 inhibitor. Methods: The SAR of 1c was systematically explored and the in vitro URAT1 inhibitory activity of synthesized compounds 1a-1t was determined by the inhibition of URAT1-mediated [8-14C]uric acid uptake by human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells stably expressing human URAT1. Results: Twenty compounds 1a-1t were synthesized. SAR analysis was performed. Two highly active URAT1 inhibitors, sodium 2-((5-bromo-4-((4-n-propylnaphth-1-yl)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetate (1j) and sodium 2-((5-bromo-4-((4-bromonaphth-1-yl)methyl)-4H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)thio)acetate (1m), were identified, which were 78- and 76-fold more active than parent lesinurad in in vitro URAT1 inhibitory assay, respectively (IC50 values for 1j and 1m were 0.092 μM and 0.094 μM, respectively, against human URAT1 vs 7.18 μM for lesinurad). Conclusion: Two highly active URAT1 inhibitors were discovered. The SAR exploration also identified more flexible naphthyltriazolylmethane as a novel molecular skeleton that will be valuable for the design of URAT1 inhibitors, as indicated by the observation that many of the synthesized naphthyltriazolylmethane-bearing derivatives (1b-1d, 1g, 1j and 1m) showed significantly improved UART1 inhibitory activity (sub-micromolar IC50 values) as compared with lesinurad which has the rigid naphthyltriazole skeleton.

- Intermolecular hydrogen bonding controlled stereoselective photocycloaddition of vinyl ethers to 1-cyanonaphthalenes
-
With the aim of developing photoreactions that use intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions to control the efficiency and stereochemistry, the 1,2-[2 + 2] photocycloaddition reactions of 1-cyanonaphthalene derivatives with vinyl ethers possessing hydroxy groups were examined. The photoreaction of 1-cyano-4-(hydroxymethyl)naphthalene (1a) with 2-hydroxyethyl vinyl ether (2a) at room temperature was found to produce cycloadducts, endo-3aa and exo-3aa, in a non-stereoselective manner (56?:?44). However, this photoreaction at ?40 °C displays a high endo-selectivity (81?:?19). In the reaction of 1a with ethyl vinyl ether (2b), high endo selectivity was observed both at room temperature and at ?40 °C. The endo selectivity in the [2 + 2] photocycloaddition process is attributed to the intermolecular hydrogen bonding interactions between the reacting partners in the ground and excited states. Evidence to support this conclusion comes from the results of VT NMR and fluorescence quenching experiments, as well as the photoreactions of deuterated substrates.

- Intramolecular Photocycloaddition Reactions of Arylcyclopropane Tethered 1-Cyanonaphthalenes
-
Intramolecular photocycloaddition reactions of 1-cyanonaphthalenes bearing an arylcyclopropane containing side chain were investigated. Photoreactions of members of this family in which the arylcyclopropane moiety is bonded at the 2-position of the 1-cyanonaphthalene ring produce head-to-head and head-to-tail 1,2-[3+2] photocycloadducts. On the other hand, substances in this family containing an arylcyclopropane side chain linked to the 4-position of the cyanoarene ring undergo photoreactions to form [4+3] photocycloadducts along with novel nine-membered ring products, which are produced by photochemically induced 10 conrotatory ring opening of the initially formed intramolecular [3+2] cycloadducts. The results of solvent effects and fluorescence investigations along with those focusing on corresponding intermolecular photoreactions demonstrate that the photocycloadducts are formed predominantly through an intramolecular exciplex mechanism and that a photoinduced intramolecular electron transfer pathway via zwitterionic biradicals might be partly responsible for the process when CH3CN is the solvent.

- Preparation of polycyclic compounds by intramolecular photospirocyclization and photocycloaddition reactions of 4-alkenyl-1-cyanonaphthalene derivatives
-
Photoreactions of 4-pentenyl-1-cyanonaphthalenes yield spirocyclic products along with [4?+?2] cycloadducts. Photoreactions of 5-phenyl derivatives produce a product having tricyclo[6.3.0.01,4]undecadiene skeleton. Formation of angular triquinanes takes place in photoreactions of cycloalkene-linked cyanonaphthalenes. The observation demonstrates that π–π arene ring interactions, steric hindrance, and suitable locations of reaction sites in syn and anti singlet exciplexes govern the modes followed in intramolecular photoreactions of 4-alkenyl-1-cyanonaphthalenes.

- Contrasting chemoselectivities in the ultrasound and microwave assisted bromination reactions of substituted alkylaromatics with N-bromosuccinimide
-
Ultrasound and microwave assisted bromination reactions of various alkylaryls with N-bromosuccinimide, either neat or in water, shows diverse chemoselectivity. Thus, ring substitution occurs in water with ultrasound, whereas with microwaves both side-chain α-bromination and ring substitution occur. With neat reactants, side-chain α-bromination predominates for microwave assisted reactions. In the presence of water the chemoselectivity with microwave-promoted bromination is similar to that observed using classical methods.

- Perylenophthalocyanines
-
The first perylenophthalocyanines have been synthesised using a Diels-Alder reaction between dialkylperylenes and fumaronitrile as the key step towards the dinitrile precursors. As expected the octaalkylperylenophthalocyanines show red-shifted absorption spectra. They are high melting solids that do not display mesophase behaviour at accessible temperatures. A 3:1 phthalocyanine/ perylenophthalocyanine hybrid material, prepared by a mixed macrocyclisation reaction, presents an unusual board-like molecular profile. Its absorption maxima lie between those observed for the parent phthalocyanines and the symmetrical perylenophthalocyanines. The spectrum shows a characteristic split Q-band due to the reduced symmetry of the core. This material is non-mesogenic but is sufficiently soluble to permit processing and characterisation. The 1H NMR spectrum indicates that at least two of the appended alkyl chains are displaced out of the macrocycle plane and lie in its shielding region - an arrangement that disfavours the face-to-face packing required for mesophase formation.

The liquid-phase oxidation of the methylbenzenes catalyzed by a catalyst system composed of cobalt(II) and copper(II) acetates and sodium bromide was carried out in the acetic acid at 150 deg C.The corresponding benzyl acetates and benzaldehydes were obtained in high selectivities in most cases.A nuclear-brominated product, i.e., 3-bromo-4-methoxytoluene was also obtained in the oxidation of p-methoxytoluene, wich has two different reaction sites, i.e., o-positions to the electron-donating methoxyl substituent and the benzyl position.However, the substitution of the bromide ion for the acetate ion in the catalyst system gave satisfactory selectivities for the side-chain oxidation products.In the p-xylene oxidation, α,α'-diacetoxy-p-xylene and p-(acetoxymethyl)benzoic acid were also obtained, as well as p-methylbenzyl acetate, though their amounts were small.The oxidation of polymethylbenzenes was also carried out.
