We report in this paper experimental and theoretical studies of the nonlinear optical properties of a new class of compounds which differ from traditional second-order molecules in the sense that a commonly used electron donor chromophore is replaced by a thiophene ring.The molecular second-order nonlinear optical coefficients, β, is determined by the electric field-induced second-harmonic generation technique, for 2-nitro-1-(2-thienyl)ethene and 4-nitro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butadiene are, respectively, 1 and 3 times that of para-nitroaniline.Ab initio time-dependent coupled perturbed Hartree-Fock results are in agreement with the experimental findings.A Mulliken population analysis indicates that the sulfur atom in the thiophene ring acts as an electron donor.Both the experimental and the theoretical results confirm that a thiophene ring acts as an efficient donor, giving rise to highly efficient second-order nonlinear optical properties.We also show that with this type of chromophore one can use a thiophene oligomer, in place of a thiophene monomer, to amplify the nonlinearity.

Allosteric modulation offers an alternate approach to target the cannabinoid type-1 receptor (CB1) for therapeutic benefits. Examination of the two widely studied prototypic CB1 negative allosteric modulators (NAMs) Org27569 and PSNCBAM-1 revealed structural resemblance and similar structure–activity relationships (SARs). In silico docking and dynamics simulation studies using the crystal structure of CB1 co-bound with CP55,940 and Org27569 suggested that Org27569 and PSNCBAM-1 occupied the same binding pocket and several common interactions were present in both series with the CB1 receptor. A new scaffold was therefore designed by merging the key structural features from the two series and the hybrids retained these binding features in the in silico docking studies. In addition, one such hybrid displayed similar functions to Org27569 in dynamic simulations by preserving a key R2143.50-D3386.30 salt bridge and maintaining an antagonist-like Helix3-Helix6 interhelical distance. Based on these results, a series of hybrids were synthesized and assessed in calcium mobilization, [35S]GTPγS binding and cAMP assays. Several compounds displayed comparable potencies to Org27569 and PSNCBAM-1 in these assays. This work offers new insight of the SAR requirement at the allosteric site of the CB1 receptor and provides a new scaffold that can be optimized for the development of future CB1 allosteric modulators.

A two-step Pd-catalyzed (3 + 2) cycloaddition/HNO2 elimination reaction sequence has been developed to give novel cyclic 1,3-dien-5-yne systems from Pd-stabilized zwitterionic 1,3-dipoles and 2-nitro-1,3-enyne substrates. The process is highly atom-efficient and tolerates the reaction of 2-vinyloxirane, 1-tosyl-2-vinylaziridine, and diethyl 2-vinylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylate derived 1,3-dipoles with a variety of 2-nitro-1,3-enyne substrates. The stereochemistry of the intermediate (3 + 2) cycloadducts was determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. Furthermore, a selective kinetic elimination of the cycloadduct with an antiperiplanar relationship between the NO2 group and the participating hydrogen was demonstrated, allowing for efficient isolation of a single diastereoisomer of the cycloadduct.

An asymmetric [3+3] cyclization of nitroenynes and 3-pyrrolyloxindoles has been realized with a chiral bifunctional squaramide catalyst. This Michael/Friedel-Crafts cascade strategy provides a facile and efficient access to enantioenriched polycyclic aza-spirooxindoles with 32-95% isolated yields and excellent stereocontrol under mild reaction conditions.

We describe a copper-mediated method that enables the synthesis of seven-membered-ring fused pyrroles (7-mrFPs). The protocol proceeds via an in situ spiro-intermediate ring expansion and tolerates a library of 7-mrFP derivatives with a broad range of functional groups in a simple step with tangible parameters and substrate adaptations. These rare 7-mrFPs are now accessible on a millimolar scale, and selected examples exhibit high antioxidant activity.

We report here for the first time a novel difluoromethylated ketimine building block condensed by thioisatin and difluoroethylamine, offering efficient access to a broad range of enantioenriched products bearing difluoroethylamine units (27 examples, ≤98% yield, >99% ee) in the presence of quinine-derived squaramide. Further transformation of the intermediate would generate a variety of versatile functional blocks like α-difluoromethyl amines, β-amino acid, and β-diamine with retention of the enantiomeric excess at the difluoromethyl-bound carbon.
Exploiting the chiral ligands of bis(Imidazolinyl)-and bis(oxazolinyl)thiophenes—Synthesis and application in Cu-catalyzed friedel–crafts asymmetric alkylation

Five new C2-symmetric chiral ligands of 2,5-bis(imidazolinyl)thiophene (L1–L3) and 2,5-bis(oxazolinyl)thiophene (L4 and L5) were synthesized from thiophene-2,5-dicarboxylic acid (1) with enantiopure amino alcohols (4a–c) in excellent optical purity and chemical yield. The util-ity of these new chiral ligands for Friedel–Crafts asymmetric alkylation was explored. Subse-quently, the optimized tridentate ligand L5 and Cu(OTf)2 catalyst (15 mol%) in toluene for 48 h promoted Friedel–Crafts asymmetric alkylation in moderate to good yields (up to 76%) and with good enantioselectivity (up to 81% ee). The bis(oxazolinyl)thiophene ligands were more potent than bis(imidazolinyl)thiophene analogues for the asymmetric induction of the Friedel–Crafts asymmetric alkylation.

β-Nitrostyrenes underwent a Diels-Alder reaction with Danishefsky's diene to afford cyclohexenes together with the corresponding hydrolyzed products, 3-arylated-5-methoxy-4-nitrocyclohexanones. When the reaction was conducted in the presence of water, the cyclohexenes were efficiently hydrolyzed into cyclohexanones. Subsequent aromatization by heating the cyclohexanone with a catalytic amount of iodine in dimethyl sulfoxide gave 3-arylated-4-nitrophenols. The reaction of nitrostyrenes with Danishefsky's diene could be conducted in one pot to directly afford the corresponding nitrophenols. Moreover, a heteroaryl group, e.g., a thienyl group could be introduced into the nitrophenol framework.

The synthesis of iodolopyrazolium triflates via an oxidative cyclization of 3-(2-iodophenyl)-1H-pyrazoles is described. The reaction is characterized by a broad substrate scope, and various applications of these novel cyclic iodolium salts acting as useful synthetic intermediates are demonstrated, in particular in site-selective ring openings. This was finally applied to generate derivatives of the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib. Their application as highly active halogen-bond donors is shown as well.

An efficient copper(II)-promoted denitrative trifluoromethylthiolation under mild reaction conditions has been developed for vinyl trifluoromethyl thioethers to construct Cvinyl-SCF3 bonds with stable AgSCF3 as a source of the trifluoromethylthio. This reaction system tolerates a broad range of functional groups to commendably achieve a high product yield and excellent stereoselectivity of E/Z.
