We recently described a novel aryl binding site of farnesyltransferase. The 2-naphthylacryloyl residue was developed as an appropriate substituent for our benzophenone-based AAX-peptidomimetic capable of occupying this binding site, resulting in a non-thiol farnesyltransferase inhibitor with nanomolar activity. The activity of this inhibitor is readily explained on the basis of docking studies which show the 2-naphthyl residue fitting into the aryl binding site.

We describe a general strategy for the intermolecular synthesis of polysubstituted cyclopentenones using palladium catalysis. Overall, this reaction is achieved via a molecular shuffling process involving an alkyne, an α,β-unsaturated acid chloride, which serves as both the alkene and carbon monoxide source, and a hydrosilane to create three new C-C bonds. This new carbon monoxide-free pathway delivers the products with excellent yields. Furthermore, the regioselectivity is complementary to conventional methods for cyclopentenone synthesis. In addition, a set of regio- and chemodivergent reactions are presented to emphasize the synthetic potential of this novel strategy.

Concise total syntheses of the natural phytoalexins 2-hydroxy-8-(4-hydroxyphenyl)phenalen-1-one (1), 2-hydroxy-8-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)phenalen-1-one (2), and hydroxyanigorufone (4), together with regioisomer 3 are accomplished in 11 or 12 steps. The synthetic strategy features a Friedel-Crafts acylation to construct the 1H-phenalen-1-one tricyclic core followed by a Suzuki cross-coupling to obtain the target compounds.
