Cross-electrophile coupling reactions of two Csp3-X bonds remain challenging. Herein we report an intramolecular nickel-catalyzed cross-electrophile coupling reaction of 1,3-diol derivatives. Notably, this transformation is utilized to synthesize a range of mono- and 1,2-disubstituted alkylcyclopropanes, including those derived from terpenes, steroids, and aldol products. Additionally, enantioenriched cyclopropanes are synthesized from the products of proline-catalyzed and Evans aldol reactions. A procedure for direct transformation of 1,3-diols to cyclopropanes is also described. Calculations and experimental data are consistent with a nickel-catalyzed mechanism that begins with stereoablative oxidative addition at the secondary center.

Cardanol from cashew nut shell liquid extracted from cashew nut shells was successfully converted into various useful pharmaceutical drugs, such as norfenefrine, rac-phenylephrine, etilefrine and fenoprofene. 3-Vinylphenol, the key intermediate for the synthesis of these drugs, was synthesised from cardanol by ethenolysis to 3-non-8-enylphenol followed by isomerising ethenolysis. The metathesis reaction worked very well using DCM, but the greener solvent, 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran, also gave very similar results. Hydroxyamination of 3-vinylphenol with an iron porphyrin catalyst afforded norfenefrine in over 70% yield. Methylation and ethylation of norfenefrine afforded rac-phenylephrine and etilefrine respectively. A sequence of C-O coupling, isomerising metathesis and selective methoxycarbonylation afforded fenoprofene in good yield. A comparison of the routes described in this paper with some standard literature syntheses of 3-vinylphenol and of the drug molecules shows significant environmental advantages in terms of precursors, yields, number of steps, conditions and the use of catalysts. The Atom Economy of our processes is generally similar or significantly superior to those of the literature processes mainly because the side products produced during synthesis of 3-vinylphenol (1-octeme, 1,4-cyclohexadiene and propene) are easily separable and of commercial value, especially as they are bio-derived. The E Factor for the production of 2-vinylphenol by our process is also very low compared with those of previously reported syntheses.

In recent years, thymidylate kinase (TMPK), an enzyme indispensable for bacterial DNA biosynthesis, has been pursued for the development of new antibacterial agents including against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the causative agent for the widespread infectious disease tuberculosis (TB). In response to a growing need for more effective anti-TB drugs, we have built upon our previous efforts toward the exploration of novel and potent Mycobacterium tuberculosis TMPK (MtTMPK) inhibitors, and reported here the design of a novel series of non-nucleoside inhibitors of MtTMPK. The inhibitors display hitherto unexplored interactions in the active site of MtTMPK, offering new insights into structure-activity relationships. To investigate the discrepancy between enzyme inhibitory activity and the whole-cell activity, experiments with efflux pump inhibitors and efflux pump knockout mutants were performed. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of particular inhibitors increased significantly when determined for the efflux pump mmr knockout mutant, which partly explains the observed dissonance.

Isosteric side chain analogs of 3a were synthesized and tested for inhibitory activities towards 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG- CoA) synthase and upon cholesterol production in Hep G2 cells and in mouse liver. It became clear that the lipophi
