Heme-regulated inhibitor kinase (HRI), a eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α) kinase, plays critical roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, and adaptation to cytoplasmic stress. HRI is also a critical modifier of hemoglobin disorders such as β-thalassemia. We previously identified N,N′-diarylureas as potent activators of HRI suitable for studying the biology of this important kinase. To expand the repertoire of chemotypes that activate HRI, we screened a ～1900 member N,N′-disubstituted urea library in the surrogate eIF2α phosphorylation assay, identifying N-aryl,N′-cyclohexylphenoxyurea as a promising scaffold. We validated hit compounds as a bona fide HRI activators in secondary assays and explored the contributions of substitutions on the N-aryl and N′-cyclohexylphenoxy groups to their activity by studying focused libraries of complementing analogues. We tested these N-aryl,N′- cyclohexylphenoxyureas in the surrogate eIF2α phosphorylation and cell proliferation assays, demonstrating significantly improved bioactivities and specificities. We consider these compounds to represent lead candidates for the development of potent and specific HRI activators.

Trans-Selective and Switchable Arene Hydrogenation of Phenol Derivatives

A trans-selective arene hydrogenation of abundant phenol derivatives catalyzed by a commercially available heterogeneous palladium catalyst is reported. The described method tolerates a variety of functional groups and provides access to a broad scope of trans-configurated cyclohexanols as potential building blocks for life sciences and beyond in a one-step procedure. The transformation is strategically important because arene hydrogenation preferentially delivers the opposite cis-isomers. The diastereoselectivity of the phenol hydrogenation can be switched to the cis-isomers by employing rhodium-based catalysts. Moreover, a protocol for the chemoselective hydrogenation of phenols to cyclohexanones was developed.

A photochemical method for converting aliphatic alcohols into boronic esters is described. Preactivation of the alcohol as a 2-iodophenyl-thionocarbonate enables a novel Barton–McCombie-type radical deoxygenation that proceeds efficiently with visible light irradiation and without the requirement for a photocatalyst, a radical initiator, or tin or silicon hydrides. The resultant alkyl radical is intercepted by bis(catecholato)diboron, furnishing boronic esters from a diverse range of structurally complex alcohols.
