Abstract: Recently, there has been an increase in interest in multicomponent reactions, mainly due to the possibility of assembling of complex organic molecules in just several steps. Isocyanide is a key reagent for the Ugi multicomponent reaction. Isocyanide exhibits dual properties both electrophilic and nucleophilic. Several ways of formation of isonitrile derivatives are known, but the intramolecular dehydration of formamide is considered to be the main method. In this study, we synthesized isonitrile derivatives of dialkyl glycerol and D-glucose which can serve as new useful blocks for the creation of chemical libraries of lipophilic amines with the carbohydrate residue at their terminal nitrogen atom during the further interaction under the conditions of the multicomponent reactions. Structures of all the synthesized compounds were confirmed by physicochemical analytical methods, and these compounds can be used as blocks for the Ugi multicomponent reaction.

Palladium-catalysed diastereoselective hydroesterification of alkenes assisted by the coordinative hydroxyl group in the substrate afforded a variety of chiral γ-butyrolactones bearing two stereocenters. Employing the carbonylation-lactonization products as the key intermediates, the route from the alkenes with single chiral center to chiral THF-fused bicyclic γ-lactones containing three stereocenters was developed.

The stereoselective total synthesis of (?)-galantinic acid 1 and 1-deoxy-5-hydroxysphingolipids 4 is described via Prins cyclization protocol followed by reductive ring opening sequence of substituted pyrenol derivative 6. The target molecules were synthesized using a common synthetic intermediate epoxide 5. Besides, we also proposed synthetic pathways to achieve other structural analogues using common intermediates.

Neuropathic pain (NP) is a complex chronic pain state with a prevalence of almost 10% in the general population. Pharmacological options for NP are limited and weakly effective, so there is a need to develop more efficacious NP attenuating drugs. Activation of the type 1 lysophosphatidic acid (LPA1) receptor is a crucial factor in the initiation of NP. Hence, it is conceivable that a functional antagonism strategy could lead to NP mitigation. Here we describe a new series of LPA1 agonists among which derivative (S)-17 (UCM-05194) stands out as the most potent and selective LPA1 receptor agonist described so far (Emax = 118%, EC50 = 0.24 μM, KD = 19.6 nM; inactive at autotaxin and LPA2-6 receptors). This compound induces characteristic LPA1-mediated cellular effects and prompts the internalization of the receptor leading to its functional inactivation in primary sensory neurons and to an efficacious attenuation of the pain perception in an in vivo model of NP.

The chemoselective synthesis of 2-(phenoxymethyl)oxirane from allyloxybenzene is achieved with over 90 % yield in a sustainable reaction system using titanium-substituted silicalite-1 (TS-1) as a catalyst, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an oxidant, and a mixture of MeOH/MeCN as a solvent at 40 °C. No acid-catalyzed side reactions prompted by the Lewis acidity of the Ti active site in TS-1 are observed. The TS-1 catalyst can also promote the formation of oxiranes from various p-substituted allyloxybenzenes in good yields. The reaction mechanism is investigated through the reaction with other allyloxy compounds. The results, which are supported by DFT calculations, indicate that an active species of Ti peroxides formed from the reaction of TS-1 with H2O2 selectively oxidizes the allyloxybenzene to 2-(phenoxymethyl)oxirane.
Synthesis of Cyclic Alkenyl Dimethylsiloxanes from Alkynyl Benzyldimethylsilanes and Application in Polyene Synthesis

Cyclic dimethylalkenylsiloxanes, useful motifs for (Z)-selective Hiyama cross-coupling, are accessed from alkynyl benzyldimethylsilanes featuring adjacent allylic or homoallylic oxygen substituents by semihydrogenation/debenzylation/cyclization. While formation of 5- and 6-membered rings can be achieved from the free alcohols using fluoride or silanolate, allylic acetate precursors to 5-membered rings display distinct modes of activation. The utility of these compounds is demonstrated through the preparation of a variety of (Z)-alkene-containing polyenes and application to a concise total synthesis of leukotriene B3.

An inexpensive, mild, and highly efficient epoxidation protocol has been developed involving bubbling SO2F2 gas into a solution of olefin, 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide, and 4 N aqueous potassium carbonate in 1,4-dioxane at room temperature for 1 h with the formation of the corresponding epoxides in good to excellent yields. The novel SO2F2/H2O2/K2CO3 epoxidizing system is suitable to a variety of olefinic substrates including electron-rich and electron-deficient ones.

A highly diastereoselective desymmetrization of p-quinamines via regioselective ring opening of epoxides and aziridines under mild conditions has been developed. A chairlike six-membered transition state with minimized 1,3-diaxial interactions explains the relative stereoselectivity of the cyclization reaction. This transition-metal free [3 + 3] annulation reaction provides rapid access to fused bicyclic morpholines and piperazines with a tetrasubstituted carbon center in high yields. In addition, it also allows the synthesis of enantioenriched products by using easily accessible chiral nonracemic epoxides and aziridines.

Substrate spectrum assay exhibited that PvEH1, which is an epoxide hydrolase from P. vulgaris, had the highest specific activity and enantiomeric ratio (E) for racemic o-methylphenyl glycidyl ether (rac-1) among tested aryl glycidyl ethers (1–5). To produce (R)-1 via kinetic resolution of rac-1 efficiently, the catalytic properties of PvEH1 were further improved on the basis of rational design. Firstly, the seven single-site variants of PvEH1-encoding gene (pveh1) were PCR-amplified as designed, and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3). Among all expressed single-site mutants, PvEH1L105I and PvEH1V106I had the highest specific activities of 17.6 and 16.4 U/mg protein, respectively, while PvEH1L196D had an enhanced E value of 9.2. Secondly, to combine their respective merits, one triple-site variant, pveh1L105I/V106I/L196D, was also amplified, and expressed. The specific activity, E value, and catalytic efficiency of PvEH1L105I/V106I/L196D were 23.1 U/mg, 10.9, and 6.65 mM?1 s?1, respectively, which were 2.0-, 1.8- and 2.4-fold higher than those of wild-type PvEH1. The source of PvEH1L105I/V106I/L196D with enhanced E value for rac-1 was preliminarily analyzed by molecular docking simulation. Finally, the scale-up kinetic resolution of 100 mM rac-1 was conducted using 5 mg wet cells/mL E. coli/pveh1L105I/V106I/L196D at 25 °C for 1.5 h, producing (R)-1 with 95.0% ees, 32.1% yield and 3.52 g/L/h space-time yield.
