One, two, and three! Nitroxides and dioxygen serve as oxidants in highly stereoselective oxidative Pd-catalyzed Heck arylations in which aryl boronic acids are used to synthesize triarylalkyl-substituted olefins. The reactions occur under very mild conditions at room temperature. As an example, the threefold sequential arylation of methyl acrylate is the crucial step in the stereoselective synthesis of Z-Tamoxifen.
Discovery of novel 5,5-diarylpentadienamides as orally available transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) antagonists

We have developed a novel and potent chemical series of 5,5-diphenylpentadienamides for targeting TRPV1 in vitro and in vivo. In this investigation, we examined a variety of replacements for the 5-position of dienamides with the goal of addressing issues related to pharmacokinetics. Our data suggest that substitution with alkoxy groups on the phenyl ring at the 5-position increases their ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. This investigation culminated in the discovery of compound (R)-36b, which showed a good pharmacokinetic profile. In vivo, compound (R)-36b was found to be effective at reversing mechanical allodynia in rats in a dose-dependent manner, and it reversed thermal hyperalgesia in a model of neuropathic pain induced by sciatic nerve injury.

Diarylmethine-containing stereocenters are present in pharmaceuticals and natural products, making the synthetic methods that form these chiral centers are important in industry. We have applied iridium complexes with novel N,P-chelating ligands to the asymmetric hydrogenation of trisubstituted olefins, forming diarylmethine chiral centers in high conversions and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee) for a broad range of substrates. Our results support the hypothesis that steric hindrance in one specific area of the catalyst is playing a key role in stereoselection, as the hydrogenation of substrates differing little at the prochiral carbon occurred with high enantioselectivity. As a result, excellent stereodiscrimination was obtained even when the prochiral carbon bore, for example, phenyl and p-tolyl groups.
