The gas-phase rotational spectrum of (cyanomethylene)cyclopropane, (CH2)2C═CHCN, generated by a Wittig reaction between the hemiketal of cyclopropanone and (cyanomethylene)triphenylphosphorane, is presented for the first time. This small, highly polar nitrile is a cyclopropyl-containing structural isomer of pyridine. The rotational spectra of the ground state and two vibrationally excited states were observed, analyzed, and least-squares fit from 130 to 360 GHz. Over 3900 R-, P-, and Q-branch, ground-state rotational transitions were fit to low-error, partial octic, A- and S-reduced Hamiltonians, providing precise determinations of the spectroscopic constants. The two lowest-energy vibrationally excited states, ν17and ν27, form a Coriolis-coupled dyad displaying smalla- andb-type resonances. Transitions for these two states were measured and least-squares fit to a two-state, partial octic, A-reduced Hamiltonian in the Irrepresentation with nine Coriolis-coupling terms (Ga,GaJ,GaK,GaJJ,Fbc,FbcJ,FbcK,Gb, andGbJ). The observation of many resonant transitions and nine nominal interstate transitions enabled a very accurate and precise energy difference between ν17and ν27to be determined: ΔE17,27= 29.8975453 (33) cm-1. The spectroscopic constants presented herein provide the foundation for future astronomical searches for (cyanomethylene)cyclopropane.

Two series of linear extended benzofuran derivatives associating cyanovinyl unit and phenyl or furan moieties obtained from benzaldehyde-lignocellulosic (Be series) or furaldehyde –saccharide (Fu series) platforms were prepared in order to investigate their emission and electrochemical properties. For the fluorescence in solution and solid states, contrasting results between the two series were demonstrated. For Be series a net aggregation induced emission effect was observed with high fluorescence quantum yield for the solid state. A [2+2] cycloaddition under irradiation at 350 nm was also revealed for one derivative of Be series. In contrast, for Fu series the fluorescence in solution is higher than in the solid state. The X-ray crystallography studies for the compounds reveal the formation of strong π-π stacking for the derivatives without emissive property in the solid state and the presence of essentially lateral contacts for emissive compounds. Taking advantage of the propensity to develop 2D π-stacking mode for the more extended derivative with a central furan cycle, organic field effect transistors presenting hole mobility have been made.
Selective Construction of C?C and C=C Bonds by Manganese Catalyzed Coupling of Alcohols with Phosphorus Ylides

, p. 1096 - 1104 (2020/12/31)
Herein, we report the manganese catalyzed coupling of alcohols with phosphorus ylides. The selectivity in the coupling of primary alcohols with phosphorus ylides to form carbon-carbon single (C?C) and carbon-carbon double (C=C) bonds can be controlled by the ligands. In the conversion of more challenging secondary alcohols with phosphorus ylides the selectivity towards the formation of C?C vs. C=C bonds can be controlled by the reaction conditions, namely the amount of base. The scope and limitations of the coupling reactions were thoroughly evaluated by the conversion of 21 alcohols and 15 ylides. Notably, compared to existing methods, which are based on precious metal complexes as catalysts, the present catalytic system is based on earth abundant manganese catalysts. The reaction can also be performed in a sequential one-pot reaction generating the phosphorus ylide in situ followed manganese catalyzed C?C and C=C bond formation. Mechanistic studies suggest that the C?C bond was generated via a borrowing hydrogen pathway and the C=C bond formation followed an acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling pathway. (Figure presented.).

β-Substituted acrylamides have low electrophilicity and are yet to be exploited in the enantioselective Rauhut–Currier reaction. By exploiting electron-withdrawing protection of the amide and moderate nucleophilicity N-heterocyclic carbenes, such substrates have been converted to enantioenriched quinolones. The reaction proceeds with complete diastereoselectivity, good yield, and modest enantioselectivity. Derivatizations are reported, as are computational studies, supporting decreased amide bond character with electron-withdrawing protection of the nitrogen.

Glycogen synthase kinase 3β (GSK-3β) and casein kinase 1δ (CK-1δ) are emerging targets for the treatment of neuroinflammatory disorders, including Parkinson's disease. An inhibitor able to target these two kinases was developed by docking-based design. Compound 12, 3-(7-amino-5-(cyclohexylamino)-[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-a][1,3,5]triazin-2-yl)-2-cyanoacrylamide, showed combined inhibitory activity against GSK-3β and CK-1δ [IC50(GSK-3β)=0.17 μm; IC50(CK-1δ)=0.68 μm]. In particular, classical ATP competition was observed against CK-1δ, and a co-crystal of compound 12 inside GSK-3β confirmed a covalent interaction between the cyanoacrylamide warhead and Cys199, which could help in the development of more potent covalent inhibitors of GSK-3β. Preliminary studies on in vitro models of Parkinson's disease revealed that compound 12 is not cytotoxic and shows neuroprotective activity. These results encourage further investigations to validate GSK-3β/CK-1δ inhibition as a possible new strategy to treat neuroinflammatory/degenerative diseases.

The isolation and structural characterization of the cyanido-substituted metalated ylides [Ph3P?C?CN]M (1-M; M=Li, Na, K) are reported with lithium, sodium, and potassium as metal cations. In the solid-state, most different aggregates could be determined depending on the metal and additional Lewis bases. The crown-ether complexes of sodium (1-Na) and potassium (1-K) exhibited different structures, with sodium preferring coordination to the nitrogen end, whereas potassium binds in an unusual η2-coordination mode to the two central carbon atoms. The formation of the yldiide was accompanied by structural changes leading to shorter C?C and longer C?N bonds. This could be attributed to the delocalization of the free electron pairs at the carbon atom into the antibonding orbitals of the CN moiety, which was confirmed by IR spectroscopy and computational studies. Detailed density functional theory calculations show that the changes in the structure and the bonding situation were most pronounced in the lithium compounds due to the higher covalency.
Generation and Rearrangement of N,O-Dialkenylhydroxylamines for the Synthesis of 2-Aminotetrahydrofurans

A new diastereoselective route to 2-aminotetrahydrofurans has been developed from N,O-dialkenylhydroxylamines. These intermediates undergo a spontaneous C?C bond-forming [3,3]-sigmatropic rearrangement followed by a C?O bond-forming cyclization. A copper-catalyzed N-alkenylation of an N-Boc-hydroxylamine with alkenyl iodides, and a base-promoted addition of the resulting N-hydroxyenamines to an electron-deficient allene, provide modular access to these novel rearrangement precursors. The scope of this de novo synthesis of simple nucleoside analogues has been explored to reveal trends in diastereoselectivity and reactivity. In addition, a base-promoted ring-opening and Mannich reaction has been discovered to covert 2-aminotetrahydrofurans to cyclopentyl β-aminoacid derivatives or cyclopentenones.

A novel and efficient method for the synthesis of highly substituted benzobicyclo[2.2.2]octane skeletons has been explored. Under UV-light irradiation, o-divinylbenzenes underwent a pericyclic reaction to form the cyclic o-quinodimethane intermediates which were subsequently reacted with olefins through [4+2] addition to construct the benzobicyclo[2.2.2]octane skeletons in mild conditions. Gram scale reactions demonstrated the synthetic potential application of this protocol.

A number of analogues of the marine-derived histone deacetylase inhibitor largazole incorporating major structural changes in the depsipeptide ring were synthesized. Replacing the thiazole-thiazoline fragment of largazole with a bipyridine group gave analogue 7 with potent cell growth inhibitory activity and an activity profile similar to that of largazole, suggesting that conformational change accompanying switching hybridization from sp3 to sp2 at C-7 is well tolerated. Analogue 7 was more class I selective compared to largazole, with at least 464-fold selectivity for class I HDAC proteins over class II HDAC6 compared to a 22-fold selectivity observed with largazole. To our knowledge 7 represents the first example of a potent and highly cytotoxic largazole analogue not containing a thiazoline ring. The elimination of a chiral center derived from the unnatural amino acid R-a-methylcysteine makes the molecule more amenable to chemical synthesis, and coupled with its increased class I selectivity, 7 could serve as a new lead compound for developing selective largazole analogues.

A convenient synthesis of a new series of N-aryl-5-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H/3H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carbonitriles and alkyl N-aryl-5-(pyridin-3-yl)-1H/3H-1,2,3-triazole-4-carboxylic acid esters is reported. The newly synthesized 5-(pyridin-3-yl)-1,2,3-triazole derivatives are evaluated for their antibacterial and antifungal activity. Some of these triazole derivatives have exhibited moderate antimicrobial activity.
