Herein, we report a highly regioselective gold-catalyzed formal hydration of propargylic gem-difluorides. Not only does this transformation provide access to versatile fluorinated building blocks that were difficult or hardly possible to access beforehand, but it also represents a rare case of a highly regioselective gold-catalyzed hydroalkoxylation of internal alkynes and puts forward the utility of the difluoromethylene unit as a directing group in catalysis.

It has been demonstrated previously that the endogenous compound N-arachidonyl-glycine inhibits the glycine transporter GlyT2, stimulates glycinergic neurotransmission, and provides analgesia in animal models of neuropathic and inflammatory pain. However, it is a relatively weak inhibitor with an IC50 of 9 μM and is subject to oxidation via cyclooxygenase, limiting its therapeutic value. In this paper we describe the synthesis and testing of a novel series of monounsaturated C18 and C16 acyl-glycine molecules as inhibitors of the glycine transporter GlyT2. We demonstrate that they are up to 28 fold more potent that N-arachidonyl-glycine with no activity at the closely related GlyT1 transporter at concentrations up to 30 μM. This novel class of compounds show considerable promise as a first generation of GlyT2 transport inhibitors.

The long-range deconjugative isomerization of a broad range of α,β-unsaturated amides, esters, and ketones by an in situ generated palladium hydride catalyst is described. This redox-economical process is triggered by a hydrometalation event and is thermodynamically driven by the refunctionalization of a primary or a secondary alcohol into an aldehyde or a ketone. Di-, tri-, and tetrasubstituted carbon-carbon double bonds react with similar efficiency; the system is tolerant toward a variety of functional groups, and olefin migration can be sustained over 30 carbon atoms. The refunctionalized products are usually isolated in good to excellent yield. Mechanistic investigations are in support of a chain-walking process consisting of repeated migratory insertions and β-H eliminations. The bidirectionality of the isomerization reaction was established by isotopic labeling experiments using a substrate with a double bond isolated from both terminal functions. The palladium hydride was also found to be directly involved in the product-forming tautomerization step. The ambiphilic character of the in situ generated [Pd-H] was demonstrated using isomeric trisubstituted α,β-unsaturated esters. Finally, the high levels of enantioselectivity obtained in the isomerization of a small set of α-substituted α,β-unsaturated ketones augur well for the successful development of an enantioselective version of this unconventional isomerization.
O-H hydrogen bonding promotes H-atom transfer from α C-H bonds for C-alkylation of alcohols

The efficiency and selectivity of hydrogen atom transfer from organic molecules are often difficult to control in the presence of multiple potential hydrogen atom donors and acceptors. Here, we describe the mechanistic evaluation of a mode of catalytic activation that accomplishes the highly selective photoredox a-alkylation/lactonization of alcohols with methyl acrylate via a hydrogen atom transfer mechanism. Our studies indicate a particular role of tetra-n-butylammonium phosphate in enhancing the selectivity for α C-H bonds in alcohols in the presence of allylic, benzylic, α-C=O, and α-ether C-H bonds.

In an effort to elucidate a set of structure-activity relationships in the alkenyldiarylmethane (ADAM) series of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, a number of modifications were made at two locations: (1) the meta positions of the two aromatic rings and (2) the end of the alkenyl chain. Forty-two new ADAMs were synthesized and evaluated for inhibition of the cytopathic effect of HIV-1RF in CEM-SS cell culture and for inhibition of HIV-1 reverse transcriptase. The size of the aromatic substituents was found to affect anti-HIV activity, with optimal activity appearing with Cl, CH3, and Br substituents and with diminished activity occurring with smaller (H and F) or larger (I and CF3) substituents. The substituents at the end of the alkenyl chain were also found to influence the antiviral activity, with maximal activity associated with methyl or ethyl ester groups and with diminished activity resulting from substitution with higher esters, amides, sulfides, sulfoxides, sulfones, thioesters, acetals, ketones, carbamates, ureas, and thioureas. Twelve of the new ADAMs displayed submicromolar EC50 values for inhibition of the cytopathic effect of HIV-1RF in CEM-SS cells. Selected ADAMs, 19 and 21, were compared to previously published ADAMs 15 and 17 for antiviral efficacy and activity against the HIV-1 reverse transcriptase enzyme. All four ADAMs were found to inhibit HIV-1 reverse transcriptase enzyme activity, to inhibit the replication of a variety of HIV-1 clinical isolates representing syncytium-inducing, nonsyncytium-inducing, and subtype representative isolates, and to inhibit HIV-1 replication in monocytes. Subsequent assessment against a panel of site-directed reverse transcriptase mutants in NL4-3 demonstrated no effect of the K103N mutation on antiviral efficacy and a slight enhancement (6- to 11-fold) in sensitivity to AZT-resistant viruses. Additionally, ADAMs 19 (44-fold) and 21 (29-fold) were more effective against the A98G mutation (found in association with nevirapine resistance in vitro), and ADAM 21 was 5-fold and 2-fold more potent against the Y181C inactivation mutation than the previously reported ADAMs 15 and 17, respectively. All four ADAMs were tested for efficacy against a multidrug-resistant virus derived from a highly experienced patient expressing resistance to the reverse transcriptase enzyme inhibitors AZT, ddI, 3TC, d4T, foscarnet, and nevirapine, as well as the protease inhibitors indinavir, saquinavir, and nelfinavir. ADAM 21 was 2-fold more potent than ADAM 15 and 6-fold more potent than ADAMs 17 and 19 at preventing virus replication. Thus, we have identified a novel series of reverse transcriptase inhibitors with a favorable profile of antiviral activity against the primary mutation involved in clinical failure of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, K103N, and that retain activity against a multidrug-resistant virus.

Syntheses of the four enantiomerically pure diastereomers of 8-F2t-isoprostane (5-8) are described. The key to this approach was to prepare the racemic alcohol 9 in high diastereomeric purity and then resolve 9 by lipase-mediated acetylation to yield the enantiomerically pure alcohols 39 and 32.

1,5-H transfers from carbon to N-tributyltin substituted nitrogen proceeded smoothly and were much more efficient than 1,5-H transfers from carbon to ordinary nitrogen. 1,5-Tribuyltin group transfer from carbon to nitrogen and intramolecular addition of an aminyl radical to a nitrile group were also observed for the first time.
