- Decarboxylative Intramolecular Arene Alkylation Using N-(Acyloxy)phthalimides, an Organic Photocatalyst, and Visible Light
-
An intramolecular arene alkylation reaction has been developed using the organic photocatalyst 4CzIPN, visible light, and N-(acyloxy)phthalimides as radical precursors. Reaction conditions were optimized via high-throughput experimentation, and electron-rich and electron-deficient arenes and heteroarenes are viable reaction substrates. This reaction enables access to a diverse set of fused, partially saturated cores which are of high interest in synthetic and medicinal chemistry.

- Highly enantioselective [3+2] coupling of cyclic enamides with quinone monoimines promoted by a chiral phosphoric acid
-
Enantioselective [3+2] coupling of cyclic enamides with quinone monoimines was realised using a chiral phosphoric acid as a catalyst. This transformation allowed for the synthesis of highly enantioenriched polycyclic 2,3-dihydrobenzofurans (up to 99.9% ee). The absolute configuration of one product was determined by an X-ray crystal structural analysis. We also found a possible mechanism for this reaction.

- Enantioselective halogenative semi-pinacol rearrangement: Extension of substrate scope and mechanistic investigations
-
The present Full Paper article discloses a survey of our recent results obtained in the context of the enantioselective halogenation-initiated semi-pinacol rearrangement. Commencing with the fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction first and moving to the heavier halogens (bromine and iodine) second, the scope and limitations of the halogenative phase-transfer methodology will be discussed and compared. An extension of the fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction to the ring-expansion of five-membered allylic cyclopentanols will be also described, as well as some preliminary results on substrates prone to desymmetrization will be given. Finally, the present manuscript will culminate with a detailed mechanistic investigation of the canonical fluorination/semi-pinacol reaction. Our mechanistic discussion will be based on in situ reaction progress monitoring, complemented with substituent effect, kinetic isotopic effect and non-linear behaviour studies.

- Enantioselective organocatalytic fluorination-induced Wagner-Meerwein rearrangement
-
Cracked under strain: Strained allylic cyclobutanols and cyclopropanols readily undergo a ring expansion described by the title rearrangement. This reaction is promoted by catalytic amounts of 1 and displays high tolerance with respect to the substrate scope. The corresponding β-fluoro spiroketone products are isolated in high yields and with excellent stereoselectivities. EDG=electron-donating group, EWG=electron-withdrawing group. Copyright

- Medetomidine analogs as α2-adrenergic ligands. 3. Synthesis and biological evaluation of a new series of medetomidine analogs and their potential binding interactions with α2-adrenoceptors involving a 'methyl pocket'
-
The synthesis and the biological evaluation of a new series of medetomidine analogs are reported. The substitution pattern at the phenyl ring of the tetralin analogs had a distinct influence on the α2- adrenoceptor binding affinity. 4-Methylindan analog 6 was the most potent α2-adrenoceptor binding ligand among these 4-substituted imidazoles, and its α2-adrenoceptor selectivity was greater than the 5-methyl tetralin analog 4c. Ligand-pharmacophore and receptor modeling were combined to rationalize α2-adrenoceptor binding data of the imidazole analogs in terms of ligand-receptor interactions. The structure-activity relationships that were apparent from this and previous studies were qualitatively rationalized by the binding site models of the α2-adrenoceptor. The benzylic methyl group of medetomidine or the naphthyl analog 2a was superimposable with the α-methyl group of (-)-α-methylnorepinephrine and fit into the proposed 'methyl pocket' of the α2-adrenoceptor defined by the residues Leu110, Leu169, Phe391, and Thr395.

Key words: Alkyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ones; alkyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrodinaphthothiophenes; alkyldinaphthothiophenes; dehydrogenation with o-chlorobenzoquinone.

- Novel Synthesis of 5,5-Dimethyl-1-octalin Derivatives
-
Pyrolysis of 3-isopropenyl-2-allylcyclohex-2-en-1-one (4) at ca. 275 deg C yielded 3,4,5,6-tetrahydro-5,5-dimethyl-1(2H)-naphthalenone (1) as the chief product.Higher pyrolysis temperatures also yielded methyl substituted α-tetralones derived from 1.Reductive methylation of 1 gave the trans-angularly methylated derivative 9 as the only product.The dienolate intermediate in this transforamtion was also trapped as a trimethyl ether, 8.Mechanisms for the pyrolytic rearrangement and the reductive alkylation are discussed.
