Direct oxidative coupling of phenols and terminal alkynes was achieved at room temperature by a visible-light-mediated copper-catalyzed photoredox process. This method allows regioselective synthesis of hydroxyl-functionalized aryl and alkyl ketones from simple phenols and phenylacetylene via C C triple bond cleavage. 47 examples were presented. From a synthetic perspective, this protocol offers an efficient synthetic route for the preparation of pharmaceutical drugs, such as pitofenone and fenofibrate.

Recent trends in research have gained an orientation toward developing efficient strategies using innocuous reagents. The earlier reported transition-metal-catalyzed carbonylations involved either toxic carbon monoxide (CO) gas as carbonylating agent or functional-group-assisted ortho sp2 C-H activation (i.e., ortho acylation) or carbonylation by activation of the carbonyl group (i.e., via the formation of enamines). Contradicting these methods, here we describe an environmentally benign process, [Pd]-catalyzed direct carbonylation starting from simple and commercially available iodo arenes and aldehydes, for the synthesis of a wide variety of ketones. Moreover, this method comprises direct coupling of iodoarenes with aldehydes without activation of the carbonyl and also without directing group assistance. Significantly, the strategy was successfully applied to the synthesis n-butylphthalide and pitofenone.

From a set of weakly potent lead compounds, using in silico screening and small library synthesis, a series of 2-alkyl-3-aryl-3-alkoxyisoindolinones has been identified as inhibitors of the MDM2-p53 interaction. Two of the most potent compounds, 2-benzyl-3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(3-hydroxypropoxy)-2,3- dihydroisoindol-1-one (76; IC50 = 15.9 ± 0.8 μM) and 3-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxybenzyloxy)-2-propyl-2, 3-dihydroisoindol-1-one (79; IC50 = 5.3 ± 0.9 μM), induced p53-dependent gene transcription, in a dose-dependent manner, in the MDM2 amplified, SJSA human sarcoma cell line.

NMR-based screening of a customized fragment library identified 16 small-molecule hits that bind weakly (KD ≈ 100 μM to 10 mM) to substrate binding sites of the NS4A-bound NS3 protease of the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Analogues for five classes of NMR hits were evaluated by a combination of NMR and biochemical data yielding SAR and, in most cases, optimized hits with improved potencies (KD ≈ KI ≈ 40 μM to mM). NMR chemical shift perturbation data were used to establish the binding location and orientation of the active site directed scaffolds in these five analogue series. Two of these scaffolds, which bind the enzyme at the proximal S1-S3 and S2′ substrate binding sites, were linked together producing competitive inhibitors of the HCV NS3 protease with potencies in the micromolar range. This example illustrates that the low molecular weight scaffolds discovered from structure-based NMR screening can be optimized with focused structure-guided chemistry to produce potent nonpeptidic small-molecule inhibitors of the HCV NS3 protease.
