Diels-Alder cycloadditions of stabilised 2,3-pyridynes

Investigation of electron donating substituents at C-4 on 2,3-pyridyne 1 stability has revealed a novel stabilisation of these reactive species by aryloxy and thiophenoxy groups leading to a relatively high yielding [4+2] cycloaddition between 4-(p-methoxyphenoxy)-2,3-pyridine and furan at low temperature.

Discovery and optimization of selective and in vivo active inhibitors of the lysophosphatidylserine lipase α/β-hydrolase domain-containing 12 (ABHD12)

ABHD12 is a membrane-bound hydrolytic enzyme that acts on the lysophosphatidylserine (lyso-PS) and lysophosphatidylinositol (lyso-PI) classes of immunomodulatory lipids. Human and mouse genetic studies point to a key role for the ABHD12-(lyso)-PS/PI pathway in regulating (neuro)immunological functions in both the central nervous system and periphery. Selective inhibitors of ABHD12 would offer valuable pharmacological probes to complement genetic models of ABHD12-regulated (lyso)-PS/PI metabolism and signaling. Here, we provide a detailed description of the discovery and activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) guided optimization of reversible thiourea inhibitors of ABHD12 that culminated in the identification of DO264 as a potent, selective, and in vivo active ABHD12 inhibitor. We also show that DO264, but not a structurally related inactive control probe (S)-DO271, augments inflammatory cytokine production from human THP-1 macrophage cells. The in vitro and in vivo properties of DO264 designate this compound as a suitable chemical probe for studying the biological functions of ABHD12-(lyso)-PS/PI pathways.

Stabilised 2,3-pyridyne reactive intermediates of exceptional dienophilicity

The enhanced dienophilicity of 4-methoxy, 4-aryloxy and 4-thiophenoxy analogues 6-9 of 2,3-pyridyne (2) relative to 2 itself is reported. The regioselective lithiation of 4-alkoxy-(22, 23 and 25) and 4-thiophenoxy-2- chloropyridme (24) at low temperatures, followed by elimination of lithium chloride affords 4-alkoxy- and 4-thiophenoxypyridynes, which can be trapped in situ in a [4+2] cycloaddition reaction with furan to give endoxides 28-31 in moderate to good yields (25-58%). In contrast, precursors with a hydrogen (18) or methyl (12) substituent at C-4 give no evidence for pyridyne formation under these conditions. Attempts to generate 6-isopropoxy-2,3-pyridyne (10) from the low-temperature lithiation of 2-chloro-6-isopropoxypyridine were unsuccessful due to the instability of the 2-chloro-6-isopropoxy-5-lithiopyridine.
