- Asymmetric Nazarov Cyclizations of Unactivated Dienones by Hydrogen-Bond-Donor/Lewis Acid Co–Catalyzed, Enantioselective Proton-Transfer
-
We report an enantioselective Nazarov cyclization catalyzed by chiral hydrogen-bond-donors in concert with silyl Lewis acids. The developed transformation provides access to tri-substituted cyclopentenones in high levels of enantioselectivity (up to 95% e.e.) from a variety of simple unactivated dienones. Kinetic and mechanistic studies are consistent with a reversible 4π-electrocyclization C?C bond-forming step followed by rate- and enantio-determining proton-transfer as the mode of catalysis. (Figure presented.).

- Dehydrogenative β-Arylation of Saturated Aldehydes Using Transient Directing Groups
-
An unprecedented cross-dehydrogenative-coupling (CDC) reaction of saturated aldehyde β-C-H with arenes to form cinnamaldehydes via the cleavages of four C-H bonds has been developed. The reaction possesses complete E-stereoselectivity for the C=C double bond. The protocol is featured by atom and step economy, mild reaction conditions, and convenient operation.

- Gold(I)-Catalyzed 1,3-Carbofunctionalizations of Anthranils with Vinyl Propargyl Esters to Yield 1,3-Dihydrobenzo[ c]-isoxazoles
-
This work describes gold-catalyzed 1,3-carbofunctionalizations of anthranils with vinyl propargyl esters to form 1,3-dihydrobenzo[c]-isoxazoles. Excellent diastereoselectivity has been achieved to yield products containing three stereogenic carbons. These

- Synthesis, modeling and functional activity of substituted styrene-amides as small-molecule CXCR7 agonists
-
The chemokine receptor CXCR7 is an atypical G protein-coupled receptor as it preferentially signals through the β-arrestin pathway rather than through G proteins. CXCR7 is thought to be of importance in cancer and the development of CXCR7-targeting ligands is of huge importance to further elucidate the pharmacology and the therapeutic potential of CXCR7. In the present study, we synthesized 24 derivatives based on a compound scaffold patented by Chemocentryx and obtained CXCR7 ligands with pKi values ranging from 5.3 to 8.1. SAR studies were supported by computational 3D Fingerprint studies, revealing several important affinity descriptors. Two key compounds (29 and 30, VUF11207 and VUF11403) were found to be high-potency ligands that induce recruitment of β-arrestin2 and subsequent internalization of CXCR7, making them important tool compounds in future CXCR7 research.
