Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Tripartin, a Putative KDM4 Natural Product Inhibitor, and 1-Dichloromethylinden-1-ol Analogues

The natural product tripartin has been reported to inhibit the N-methyl-lysine histone demethylase KDM4A. A synthesis of tripartin starting from 3,5-dimethoxyphenylacrylic acid was developed, and the enantiomers were separated by chiral HPLC. We observed

High Anionic Polymerizability of Benzofulvene: New Exo-Methylene Hydrocarbon Monomer

The anionic polymerization of benzofulvene (BF) quantitatively proceeded with various initiators, such as sec-BuLi, diphenylmethyllithium, diphenylmethylpotassium, triphenylmethyllithium, and triphenylmethylpotassium, in THF at -78 °C to give polymers having predicted molecular weights based on the molar ratios between BF and the initiators and narrow molecular weight distributions (MWD, Mw/Mn 1H and 13C NMR analyses revealed that the repeating units of poly(BF) consisted of a 1,2-addition unit and a 1,4-addition unit without a 3,4-addition unit regardless of the polymerization conditions. The exo-methylene moiety (CH2=) of BF always participated in the addition polymerization. The addition modes were dependent on the polymerization temperature and not on the solvent or the countercation of the anionic initiator. For instance, polymer obtained with sec-BuLi in THF at 40°C contained 72% of the 1,4-addition unit and 28% of the 1,2-addition unit. Therefore, BF acted as a polymerizable 1,3-diene possessing a fixed transoid framework.
