The comprehensive study of the reactions of carbonyl compounds and ethyl diazoacetate in the presence of a Br?nsted acid catalyst is described. In result, a broad range of 3-oxo-esters were synthesized from a variety of ketones and aliphatic aldehydes by 1,2-aryl/alkyl/hydride shift. Aryl-methyl ketones produced only aryl-migrated products, whereas other ketones yielded a mixture of products. For diaryl ketones, the identity of two inseparable migrated products was confirmed by two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy.

A strategy for expanding the utility of chiral pyridine-2,6-bis(oxazoline) (pybox) ligands for asymmetric transition metal catalysis is introduced by adding a bidentate ligand to modulate the electronic properties and asymmetric induction. Specifically, a ruthenium(II) pybox fragment is combined with a cyclometalated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand to generate catalysts for enantioselective transition metal nitrenoid chemistry, including ring contraction to chiral 2H-azirines (up to 97 % ee with 2000 TON) and enantioselective C(sp3)?H aminations (up to 97 % ee with 50 TON).

Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of neurodegenerative disorders, and accordingly, dietary supplement of exogenous antioxidants or/and upregulation of the endogenous antioxidant defense system are promising for therapeutic intervention or chemoprevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Nrf2, a master regulator of the cellular antioxidant machinery, cardinally participates in the transcription of cytoprotective genes against oxidative/electrophilic stresses. Herein, we report the synthesis of 59 structurally diverse dithiolethiones and evaluation of their neuroprotection against 6-hydroxydopamine-or H2O2-induced oxidative damages in PC12 cells, a neuron-like rat pheochromocytoma cell line. Initial screening identified compounds 10 and 11 having low cytotoxicity but conferring remarkable protection on PC12 cells from oxidative-mediated damages. Further studies demonstrated that both compounds upregulated a battery of antioxidant genes as well as corresponding genes' products. Significantly, silence of Nrf2 expression abolishes cytoprotection of 10 and 11, indicating targeting Nrf2 activation is pivotal for their cellular functions. Taken together, the two lead compounds discovered here with potent neuroprotective functions against oxidative stress via Nrf2 activation merit further development as therapeutic or chemopreventive candidates for neurodegenerative disorders.

An environmentally benign, practically scalable and highly selective C-arylalkylation of active methylene compounds is developed using CTAB as the inverse phase transfer catalyst in water. The methodology developed is elaborated into the one-pot synthesis of quinoline derivatives and also applicable to the regioselective N-aralkyl of 2-pyridones.

The first method for the reduction of α-keto substituted acrylate compounds by Hantzsch ester in water under the catalysis of thiourea has been developed. The products were isolated in moderate to high yields (38-95%). These products are important intermediates in the synthesis of a series of natural products and other biologically active molecules.

Isoxazolinones constitute a class of heterocycles utilized for the development of novel drug candidates. The cyclic oxime ester motif is also synthetically useful as it contains functional handles which have previously been used to provide access to an assortment of valuable compound classes not easily accessible by alternative approaches. However, asymmetric methods towards isoxazolinones are notoriously scarce. Herein we report the first catalytic asymmetric alkylations of isoxazolinones forming all-C-substituted quaternary stereocenters. The present studies were driven by the question of how to control the regioselectivity in the competition of different nucleophilic positions. The investigation of a direct 1,4-addition uncovered that a sterically demanding palladacycle catalyst directs the reactivity in the absence of a base nearly exclusively to the nucleophilic C atom, while at the same time it allows for high enantioselectivity and TONs up to 1900.
Theoretical investigation of the reaction of dialkylzincs with α-alkoxycarbonyl radicals. Evaluation of α-bromoacrylates as radical acceptors in radical-polar crossover processes

The evaluation of ethyl α-bromoacrylate as radical acceptor in dialkylzinc radical-polar cascades addresses the question of the parameters controlling homolytic substitution at zinc by α-alcoxycarbonyl radicals. Under non-degassed medium ethyl α-bromoacrylate reacts with diethylzinc to give a bromocyclopropane. The reaction involves successively radical addition, SH2 at zinc, conjugate addition of the resulting enolate to the electrophilic substrate and ring closure. Theoretical calculations were performed to get a better insight into the detailed mechanism. They highlight the impact of zinc(II) chelation on the formal SH2 step. Additional experiments performed in the presence of other electrophiles-aldehydes and acylsilanes-are discussed.
