Highly regioselective anti-markovnikov palladium-borate-catalyzed methoxycarbonylation reactions: Unprecedented results for aryl olefins

(Chemical Equation Presented) A general, highly efficient and regioselective methoxycarbonylation, by means of a palladium-salicylicborate- catalyzed protocol, of terminal alkyl and aryl olefins is described. The substrates include aliphatic alkenes, allylbenzenes, and styrene derivatives. The yields are very good (60-92%) and the regioselectivity, in favor of the linear ester, is up to quantitative - unprecedented in the case of styrenes.

Asymmetric Aminations and Kinetic Resolution of Acyclic α-Branched Ynones

An efficient method for asymmetric synthesis of acyclic α-tertiary amine derivatives has been achieved through enantioselective aminations of α-branched ynones with azodicarboxylates enabled by chiral phosphoric acid catalysis. Moreover, kinetic resolution of racemic starting material was realized under these conditions, which gave access to valuable enantioenriched α-substituted ketones. A wide array of α-aryl and alkyl-substitutions, and the substituted alkynyl groups were well compatible with this method, producing both the amination products and the recovered ketones with good to high enantioselectivities.

N-Phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline: An Alternative Scaffold for the Design of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 1 Inhibitors

17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases catalyse interconversion at the C17 position between oxidized and reduced forms of steroidal nuclear receptor ligands. The type 1 enzyme, expressed in malignant cells, catalyses reduction of the less-active estrone to estradiol, and inhibitors have therapeutic potential in estrogen-dependent diseases such as breast and ovarian cancers and in endometriosis. Synthetic decoration of the nonsteroidal N-phenyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) template was pursued by using Pomeranz-Fritsch-Bobbitt, Pictet-Spengler and Bischler-Napieralski approaches to explore the viability of this scaffold as a steroid mimic. Derivatives were evaluated biologically in vitro as type 1 enzyme inhibitors in a bacterial cell homogenate as source of recombinant protein. Structure-activity relationships are discussed. THIQs possessing a 6-hydroxy group, lipophilic substitutions at the 1- or 4-positions in combination with N-4′-chlorophenyl substitution were most favourable for activity. Of these, one compound had an IC50 of ca. 350 nM as a racemate, testifying to the applicability of this novel approach.

Palladium-Catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of sec-Benzylic Ethers

Herein, we report the palladium-catalyzed synthesis of 3-arylpropionate esters starting from secondary benzylic ethers. With this investigation it could be shown that ethers are suitable starting materials in addition to the established carbonylation reactions of olefins, alcohols, or aryl halides.

Deaminative Arylation of Amino Acid-derived Pyridinium Salts

A Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling of α-pyridinium esters and arylboroxines has been developed. Combined with formation of the pyridinium salts from amino acid derivatives, this method enables amino acid derivatives to be efficiently transformed into α-aryl

A recyclable CO surrogate in regioselective alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes: Indirect use of carbon dioxide

Herein, we report a Pd-catalysed alkoxycarbonylation of alkenes based on the use of a recyclable CO2 reduction product, the crystalline and air-stable N-formylsaccharin, as a CO surrogate. The carbonylation proceeds under ambient conditions in an exceptionally complementary regioselective fashion yielding the desired branched products from styrene derivatives and valuable linear esters from alkyl-substituted alkenes.

Nickel-catalyzed reductive hydroesterification of styrenes using CO 2 and MeOH

Complexes [(dippe)Ni(μ-H)]2 (A) (dippe = 1,2-bis-di- isopropylphosphino)ethane) and [(dtbpe)Ni(μ-H)]2 (B) (dtbpe = 1,2-bis-di-tert-butylphospino)ethane) catalyze the reductive hydroesterification of styrenes with the use of CO2 and MeOH. The latter acts as a hydrogen source and as an esterificating agent, to yield the corresponding branched and linear esters in moderate to good yields. In all of the studied reactions the linear esters were obtained in higher amounts than the branched ones. When the hydroesterification reaction was carried out using a stoichiometric metal/substrate ratio, the complexes [(P-P)Ni(CO)2] and [(P-P)Ni(CO3)] (P-P = dippe or dtbpe) were isolated and characterized by standard spectroscopic methods. Compounds [(dtbpe)Ni(CO) 2] and [(dtbpe)Ni(CO3)] were also fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

Enantioselective hydrolysis of various racemic α-substituted arylacetonitriles using Rhodococcus sp. CGMCC 0497

The enantioselective hydrolysis of 17 racemic α-substituted arylacetonitriles by Rhodococcus sp. CGMCC 0497 is described. The corresponding (R)-amides and (S)-acids were obtained with excellent enantiomeric excess in most cases. The effect of steric and electronic factors on the outcome of the reactions are discussed here. The results prove that nitrile-converting enzymes are efficient tools for the synthesis of sterically unencumbered chiral α-arylpropionic acids and amides.
