A variety of methods for regioselective formylation have been examined and exemplified with 3-methylthiophene. Optimal yields and regioselectivity for 2-formylation were obtained with N-formylpyrrolidine (11:1) although up to a 46:1 ratio could be obtained with MeOCHCl2:TiCl4, albeit in lower yield. Optimal 5-formylation (1:1.5) was obtained when using N- formylindoline:(COCl)2. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd.

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.

A sequential one-pot process for chemoselectively reducing sterically demanding N,N-diisopropylamides to aldehydes has been developed. In this reaction, amides are activated with EtOTf to form imidates, which are reduced with LiAlH(OR)3 [R = t-Bu, Et] to give aldehydes by hydrolysis of the resulting hemiaminals. The non-nucleophilic base 2,6-DTBMP remarkably improves reaction efficiency. The combination of EtOTf/2,6-DTBMP and LiAlH(O-t-Bu)3 was found to be optimal for reducing alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, and 2-monosubstituted aryl N,N-diisopropylamides. In contrast, EtOTf and LiAlH(OEt)3 in the absence of base were found to be optimal for reducing extremely sterically demanding 2,6-disubstituted N,N-diisopropylbenzamides. The reaction tolerates various reducible functional groups, including aldehyde and ketone. 1H NMR studies confirmed the formation of imidates stable in water. The synthetic usefulness of this methodology was demonstrated with N,N-diisopropylamide-directed ortho-metalation and C-H bond activation.
