The binary hydride, diisobutylaluminum borohydride [(iBu)2AlBH4], synthesized from diisobutylaluminum hydride (DIBAL) and borane dimethyl sulfide (BMS) has shown great potential in reducing a variety of organic functional groups. This unique binary hydride, (iBu)2AlBH4, is readily synthesized, versatile, and simple to use. Aldehydes, ketones, esters, and epoxides are reduced very fast to the corresponding alcohols in essentially quantitative yields. This binary hydride can reduce tertiary amides rapidly to the corresponding amines at 25 °C in an efficient manner. Furthermore, nitriles are converted into the corresponding amines in essentially quantitative yields. These reactions occur under ambient conditions and are completed in an hour or less. The reduction products are isolated through a simple acid-base extraction and without the use of column chromatography. Further investigation showed that (iBu)2AlBH4 has the potential to be a selective hydride donor as shown through a series of competitive reactions. Similarities and differences between (iBu)2AlBH4, DIBAL, and BMS are discussed.

SUMOylation is a reversible post-translational modification that regulates protein function through covalent attachment of small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) proteins. The process of SUMOylating proteins involves an enzymatic cascade, the first step of which entails the activation of a SUMO protein through an ATP-dependent process catalyzed by SUMO-activating enzyme (SAE). Here, we describe the identification of TAK-981, a mechanism-based inhibitor of SAE which forms a SUMO-TAK-981 adduct as the inhibitory species within the enzyme catalytic site. Optimization of selectivity against related enzymes as well as enhancement of mean residence time of the adduct were critical to the identification of compounds with potent cellular pathway inhibition and ultimately a prolonged pharmacodynamic effect and efficacy in preclinical tumor models, culminating in the identification of the clinical molecule TAK-981.

We herein report the development of a sterically hindered and electron-rich P-chiral monophosphorus biaryl ligand that has enabled a general and efficient enantioselective intramolecular α-arylation, providing access to a wide series of [4.4], [4.5], and [4.6]-spirocycles with chiral benzylic quaternary carbons in high yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities. A pronounced water effect on enantioselectivity is observed.
Highly diastereoselective synthesis of tetralin-fused spirooxindoles via lewis acid-catalyzed C(sp3)H bond functionalization
Machida, Mizuki,Mori, Keiji
, p. 868 - 871 (2018/07/03)
A highly diastereoselective synthesis of tetralin-fused spirooxindole derivatives was described. Treatment of benzylidene oxindoles with a catalytic amount of Sc(OTf)3 in refluxing hexane afforded the target compounds in good chemical yields with excellent diastereoselectivities (up to >20:1). Detailed investigation of the reaction mechanism revealed that both interconversion of the two diastereomers and their solubility difference in reaction medium were the key to achieving excellent diastereoselectivities.

A protocol for the regioselective cleavage of unsymmetrical alkyl ethers to generate alkyl alcohol and alkyl bromide products is described. A mixture of trihaloboranes triggers this conversion and exhibits improved reactivity profiles (regioselectivity and yield) compared with BBr3 alone. Additionally, this procedure allows the efficient synthesis of (B-Cl) dialkyl boronate esters. There are limited methods to generate acyclic dialkoxyboryl chlorides, and these intermediates constitute important synthons in main-group chemistry.

A series of CAPE derivatives with mono-substituted phenylethanols moiety were synthesized and evaluated by MTT assay on growth of 4 human cancer cell lines (Hela, DU-145, MCF-7 and ECA-109). The substituent effects on the antiproliferative activity were systematically investigated for the first time. It was found that electron-donating and hydrophobic substituents at 2′-position of phenylethanol moiety could significantly enhance CAPE's antiproliferative activity. 2′-Propoxyl derivative, as a novel caffeic acid ester, exhibited exquisite potency (IC50?=?0.4?±?0.02 & 0.6?±?0.03?μM against Hela and DU-145 respectively).

Substitution of one of the phenyl groups of triphenylphosphine with a 2-benzyloxy-, 2-benzyloxymethyl- or 2-benzyloxyethyl-phenyl moiety results in a set of simple ligands, which exhibit strikingly different behaviour in various nickel(II)-catalyzed olefin dimerization reactions. Complexes of ligands with 2-benzyloxyphenyl- and 2-benzyloxymethylphenyldiphenylphosphine (L5 and L6, respectively) are most active for hydrovinylation (HV) of vinylarenes, with the former leading to extensive isomerization of the primary 3-aryl-1-butenes into the conjugated 2-aryl-2-butenes even at -55 °C. However, 2-benzyloxymethyl-substituted ligand L6 is slightly less active, affording up to quantitative yields of the primary products of HV at ambient temperature with no trace of isomerization, thus providing the best option for a practical synthesis of these compounds. In sharp contrast, hydrovinylation of a variety of 1,3-dienes is best catalyzed by nickel(II) complexes of 2- benzyloxyphenyldiphenylphosphine, L5. The other two ligands, 2-benzyloxymethyl- (L6) and 2-benzyloxyethyldiphenylphosphine (L7) are much less effective in the HV of 1,3-dienes. Nickel(II)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of 1,6-dienes into methylenecyclopentanes, a reaction mechanistically related to the other hydrovinylation reactions, is also uniquely effected by nickel(II) complexes of L5, but not of L6 or L7. In an attempt to prepare authentic samples of the methylencyclohexane products, nickel(II) complexes of N-heterocyclic carbene ligands were examined. In sharp contrast to the phosphines, which give the methylenecyclopentanes, methylenecyclohexanes are the major products in the (N-heterocyclic carbene)nickel(II)-mediated reactions.
