Bartoli, Giuseppe,Bosco, Marcella,Carlone, Armando,Pesciaioli, Fabio,Sambri, Letizia,Melchiorre, Paolo
, p. 1403 - 1405 (2007)
Figure presented The first general and highly enantioselective organocatalytic Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indoles with simple α,β-unsaturated ketones has been accomplished. Central to these studies has been the identification of a new catalyst amine salt, in which both the cation and the anion are chiral, that exhibits high reactivity and selectivity for iminium ion catalysis.
A comparison of Wittig and Wittig Horner (wadsworth emmons) reagents in reactions with some α-dicarbonyl compounds
Mawaziny, Sheila,Makky, Sadiah
, p. 61 - 69 (2000)
For the α-dicarbonyl compounds RCOCHO studied where R=H, Me or Ph it was found that the use of Wittig reagents resulted in higher overall yields of the expected products and that with neither type of reagent could the product OCHCH=CHCO2Et from glyoxal be isolated.
Efficient oxidation-Wittig olefination-Diels-Alder multicomponent reactions of α-hydroxyketones
Harris, Geraint H.,Graham, Andrew E.
, p. 6890 - 6892 (2010)
α-Hydroxyketones undergo efficient tandem oxidation-Wittig olefination reactions in the presence of an oxidant to produce high yields of γ-ketocrotonate products. On carrying out the oxidation-Wittig olefination reaction in the presence of 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, a novel multicomponent reaction sequence provides access to cycloadducts in high yield.
Revisiting Bromohexitols as a Novel Class of Microenvironment-Activated Prodrugs for Cancer Therapy
Johansson, Henrik,Hussain, Omar,Allison, Simon J.,Robinson, Tony V.,Phillips, Roger M.,Sejer Pedersen, Daniel
, p. 228 - 235 (2020)
Bromohexitols represent a potent class of DNA-alkylating carbohydrate chemotherapeutics that has been largely ignored over the last decades due to safety concerns. The limited structure?activity relationship data available reveals significant changes in cytotoxicity with even subtle changes in stereochemistry. However, no attempts have been made to improve the therapeutic window by rational drug design or by using a prodrug approach to exploit differences between tumour physiology and healthy tissue, such as acidic extracellular pH and hypoxia. Herein, we report the photochemical synthesis of highly substituted endoperoxides as key precursors for dibromohexitol derivatives and investigate their use as microenvironment-activated prodrugs for targeting cancer cells. One endoperoxide was identified to have a marked increased activity under hypoxic and low pH conditions, indicating that endoperoxides may serve as microenvironment-activated prodrugs.

A carminomycinone derivative has been synthesised from 5-hydroxyquinizarin and 2-methoxy-5-methyl-4-nitromethyltetrahydrofuran.

The copper-catalyzed [4 + 2] annulation of α,β-unsaturated ketoxime acetates with 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds for the synthesis of three classes of structurally diverse pyridines has been developed. This method employs 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds as C2 synthons and enables the synthesis of multifunctionalized pyridines with diverse electron-withdrawing groups in moderate to good yields. The mechanistic investigation suggests that the reactions proceed through an ionic pathway.
Design, synthesis, and bioevaluation of a novel class of (E)-4-oxo-crotonamide derivatives as potent antituberculosis agents
Ren, Jinfeng,Xu, Jian,Zhang, Guoning,Xu, Changliang,Zhao, LiLi,You, XueFu,Wang, Yucheng,Lu, Yu,Yu, Liyan,Wang, Juxian
, p. 539 - 543 (2019/01/09)
A series of novel (E)-4-oxo-2-crotonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized to find potent antituberculosis agents. All the target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv(MTB). Results reveal that 4-phenyl moiety at part A and short methyl group at part C were found to be favorable. Most of the derivatives displayed promising activity against MTB with MIC ranging from 0.125 to 4 μg/mL. Especially, compound IIIa16 was found to have the best activity with MIC of 0.125 μg/mL against MTB and with MIC in the range of 0.05–0.48 μg/mL against drug-resistant clinical MTB isolates.

Yin, Feng,Garifullina, Ainash,Tanaka, Fujie
supporting information, p. 6089 - 6092 (2017/08/02)
To concisely synthesize highly enantiomerically enriched 5-alkyl-substituted pyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acids, organocatalytic enantioselective Michael addition reactions of 4-alkyl-substituted 4-oxo-2-enoates with nitroalkanes have been developed. Using the developed reaction method, 5-methylpyrrolidine-3-carboxylic acid with 97% ee was obtained in two steps.
Substituted 4-oxo-crotonic acid derivatives as a new class of protein kinase B (PknB) inhibitors: synthesis and SAR study
Xu, Changliang,Bai, Xiaoguang,Xu, Jian,Ren, Jinfeng,Xing, Yun,Li, Ziqiang,Wang, Juxian,Shi, Jingjing,Yu, Liyan,Wang, Yucheng
, p. 4763 - 4775 (2017/02/05)
Protein kinase B (PknB) is an essential serine/threonine protein kinase required for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) cell division and cell-wall biosynthesis. A high throughput screen using PknB identified a (E)-4-oxo-crotonic acid inhibitor, named YH-8, which was used as a scaffold for SAR investigations. A significant improvement in enzyme affinity was achieved. The results indicated that the α,β-unsaturated ketone scaffold and “trans-” configuration are essential for the activity against PknB. And compounds with an aryl group, especially with electron-withdrawing substituents on benzene ring, exhibited four fold potency than that of YH-8.
Enantioselective NHC-catalysed redox [4+2]-hetero-Diels-Alder reactions using α-aroyloxyaldehydes and unsaturated ketoesters
Taylor, James E.,Davies, Alyn T.,Douglas, James J.,Churchill, Gwydion,Smith, Andrew D.
, p. 355 - 366 (2017/02/15)
N-Heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalysed redox [4+2]-hetero-Diels-Alder reactions of α-aroyloxyaldehydes with either β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters or α,β-unsaturated γ-ketoesters generates substituted syn-dihydropyranones in good yield with excellent enantioselectivity (up to >99:1 er). The product diastereoselectivity is markedly dependent upon the nature of the unsaturated enone substituent. The presence of either electron-neutral or electron-rich aryl substituents gives excellent diastereoselectivity (up to >99:5 dr), while electron-deficient aryl substituents give reduced diastereoselectivity. In these cases, the syn-dihydropyranone products are more susceptible to base-promoted epimerisation at the C(4)-position under the reaction conditions, accounting for the lower diastereoselectivity obtained.
