A highly selective hydrogenation of alkynes using an air-stable and readily available manganese catalyst has been achieved. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions and tolerates various functional groups, resulting in (Z)-alkenes and allylic alcohols in high yields. Mechanistic experiments suggest that the reaction proceeds via a bifunctional activation involving metal-ligand cooperativity.

A titania photoredox catalysis protocol was developed for the homocoupling of C-centered radicals derived from carboxylic acids. Intermolecular reactions were generally efficient and selective, furnishing the desired dimers in good yields under mild neutral conditions. Selective cross-coupling with two acids proved unsuccessful. An intra-molecular adaptation enabled macrocycles to be prepared, albeit in modest yields. (Chemical Equation Presented).

A nickel(II) pincer complex [(MeNN2)NiCl] (1) catalyzes Kumada-Corriu-Tamao cross coupling of nonactivated alkyl halides with aryl and heteroaryl Grignard reagents. The coupling of octyl bromide with phenylmagnesium chloride was used as a test reaction. Using 3 mol % of 1 as the precatalyst and THF as the solvent, and in the presence of a catalytic amount of TMEDA, the coupling product was obtained in a high yield. The reaction conditions could be applied to cross coupling of other primary and secondary alkyl bromides and iodides. The coupling is tolerant to a wide range of functional groups. Therefore, alkyl halides containing ester, amide, ether, thioether, alcohol, pyrrole, indole, furan, nitrile, conjugated enone, and aryl halide moieties were coupled to give high isolated yields of products in which these units stay intact. For the coupling of ester-containing substrates, O-TMEDA is a better additive than TMEDA. The reaction protocol proves to be efficient for the coupling of Knochel-type functionalized Grignard reagents. Thus aryl Grignard reagents containing electron-deficient and/or sensitive ester, nitrile, amide, and CF3 substituents could be successfully coupled to nonactivated and functionalized alkyl iodides. The catalysis is also efficient for the coupling of alkyl iodides with functionalized heteroaryl Grignard reagents, giving rise to pyridine-, thiophene-, pyrazole-, furan-containing molecules with additional functionalities. Concerning the mechanism of the catalysis, [(MeNN2)Ni-(hetero)Ar] was identified as an intermediate, and the activation of alkyl halides was found to take place through a radical-rebound process.

A mixture of 50% aqueous H3PO2 and I2 (in catalytic amount) in HOAc efficiently reduces aryl alkenes to the corresponding alkanes in high yield. Addition of acetic anhydride to the medium results in ring-acetylation (or N-acetylation in the case of amines). H3PO2 costs only one-fifth as much as hydriodic acid on a mole basis and one mole of H3PO2 produces four moles of HI, resulting in a 20-fold cost advantage for H3PO2/I2 over aqueous HI as a source of HI.

Metabolism of arachidonic acid through the 5-lipoxygenase (LO) pathway generates compounds that stimulate osteoclastic bone resorption; since LO metabolites might play a role in bone loss due to excessive resorption it was tried to develop a series of antiresorptive agents starting from an already known LO inhibitor. Of the 35 compounds synthesized, 11 strongly inhibited (10 μmol/l) retinoic acid-induced bone resorption in cultured mouse calvariae; they were also tested for their effect on LO activity using rat peritoneal neutrophils, but no correlation could be drawn between inhibition of LO and bone resorption. Other pathways, still to be identified, must therefore be targeted by these compounds even though LO inhibition might contribute to their effects on bone. Two compounds selected for further studies were found active on parathyroid hormone-induced osteolysis, while they had no effect on basal resorption; they must, therefore, act at some key point in the process of activation of osteoclastic resorption. This series of compounds may represent a new way for the treatment of bone loss due to excessive resorption.
