Natural pterocarpans and synthetic 5-carba-pterocarpans are isosteres in which the oxygen atom at position 5 in the pyran-ring of pterocarpans is replaced by a methylene group. These 5-carba-analogues were obtained in good yields through the palladium-catalyzed oxyarylation of alcoxy-1,2-dihydronaphthalens with o-iodophenols in PEG-400. They were evaluated on human cancer cell lineages derived respectively from prostate tumor (PC3, IC50 = 11.84 μmol L?1, SI > 12)) and acute myeloid leukemia (HL-60, IC50 = 8.81 μmol L?1, SI > 16), highly incident cancer types presenting resistance against traditional chemotherapeutics. Compound 6c (LQB-492) was the most potent (IC50 = 3.85 μmol L?1, SI > 37) in SF-295 cell lineage (glioblastoma). Such findings suggest that 5-carba-pterocarpan can potentially be new hit compounds for further development of novel antiproliferative agents.

A new set of stereochemically diverse phosphino-oxazoline ligands derived from simple L-amino acids and 2-(diphenylphosphaneyl)benzoic acid were developed. Those mono anionic tridentated N,N,P-ligands promote the Cu-catalyzed enantioselective radical coupling of terminal alkynes with a broad range of benzylic halides including benzo-fused cyclic α-halides and α-silyl benzyl halides in high yield and excellent enantioselectivity under mild reaction conditions. With multi distinct sites for structural modification, a diverse pool of chiral N,N,P-ligands is readily accessed, allowing for rapid optimization of the ligand structure for a specific substrate. Notably, the enantioselective alkynlylation of benzylic halides bonds in benzo-cyclic molecules has also been realized for the first time.

β-Halohydrins bearing transformable halo- and hydroxyl groups, are easily converted into various valuable blocks in organic and pharmaceutical synthesis. A diastereoselective β-halogenation of benzylic alcohols was achieved under simple and low-cost conditions, which provided a direct synthesis of β-halohydrins. The simple reaction conditions, easily available reagents, high diastereoselectivities, and additional oxidant-free make this reaction very attractive and practical.
