Bis(trimethylsily)ketene acetals of the general structure 2 (R1 = H,Me,R2 = Me,Et,Pr(i),CMe = CH2) react at -78°C in the presence of Bu(t)OK with a series of arenechromium tricarbonyl complexes 3 to give as expected, after oxidation with I2 followed by silica gel chromatography, arylcarboxylic acids 7. In the case of anisolechromium tricarbonyl 8, besides the m-methoxyarylcarboxylic acids, tetrahydrobenzofuran-2,5-diones 11, are formed as the result of a double nucleophilic addition.
Cobalt-catalyzed C[sbnd]H activation/C[sbnd]O formation: Synthesis of benzofuranones

Herein, C[sbnd]H activation/C[sbnd]O formation reaction using novel cobalt catalytic system is reported. This reaction was given benzofuranones in moderate to excellent yields at room-temperature under air reaction conditions. The introduced strategy is efficient and low-cost method to synthesized benzofuranones from α,α-disubstitution acetic acid.

17β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (17β-HSD2) is responsible for the oxidation of the highly active estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) into the less potent estrone (E1) and Δ4-androstene-3,17-dione (Δ4-AD), respectively. As 17β-HSD2 is present in bones and as estradiol and testosterone are able to induce bone formation and repress bone resorption, inhibition of this enzyme could be a new promising approach for the treatment of osteoporosis. Herein, we describe the design, the synthesis and the biological evaluation of 24 new 17β-HSD2 inhibitors in the 5-substituted thiophene-2-carboxamide class. Structure-activity and structure-selectivity relationships have been explored by variation of the sulfur atom position in the central core, exchange of the thiophene by a thiazole, substitution of the amide group with a larger moiety, exchange of the N-methylamide group with bioisosteres like N-methylsulfonamide, N-methylthioamide and ketone, and substitutions at positions 2 and 3 of the thiophene core with alkyl and phenyl groups leading to 2,3,5-trisubstituted thiophene derivatives. The compounds were evaluated on human and mouse enzymes. From this study, a novel highly potent and selective compound in both human and mouse 17β-HSD2 enzymes was identified, compound 21 (IC 50(h17β-HSD2) = 235 nM, selectivity factor toward h17β-HSD1 = 95, IC50 (m17β-HSD2) = 54 nM). This new compound 21 could be used for an in vivo proof of principle to demonstrate the true therapeutic efficacy of 17β-HSD2 inhibitors in osteoporosis. New structural insights into the active sites of the human and mouse enzymes were gained.
