Synthesis and bioactivity of phenyl substituted furan and oxazole carboxylic acid derivatives as potential PDE4 inhibitors

In this present study, a series of 5-phenyl-2-furan and 4-phenyl-2-oxazole derivatives were designed and synthesized as phosphodiesterase type 4 (PDE4) inhibitors. In vitro results showed that the synthesized compounds exhibited considerable inhibitory ac

A Gold-Catalyzed A3 Coupling/Cyclization/Elimination Sequence as Versatile Tool for the Synthesis of Furfuryl Alcohol Derivatives from Glyceraldehyde and Alkynes

The reaction of glyceraldehyde with alkynes delivers furfuryl alcohol derivatives within only one reaction step in the presence of a gold(III) catalyst. The reaction cascade is initiated by an intermolecular gold-catalyzed A3 coupling sequence in which mo

Efficient Pd-catalyzed direct arylations of heterocycles with unreactive and hindered aryl chlorides

A highly electron-rich Pd complex can efficiently catalyze the direct arylation of heteroaromatics with unreactive and sterically congested aryl chlorides.

Palladium-catalysed direct arylation of heteroaromatics bearing unprotected hydroxyalkyl functions using aryl bromides

Heteroaromatics bearing unprotected hydroxyalkyl functions can be arylated using aryl or heteroaryl bromides, via palladium-catalysed carbonhydrogen bond activation/arylation. Good yields were generally obtained using 0.01-0.5 mol% of the air-stable palladium acetate complex as the catalyst. The nature of the base was found to be crucial for the selectivity of this reaction. Potassium acetate led to the direct arylation products whereas caesium car-bonate led to the formation of the ether. This procedure is certainly more atom-economic than other methods for the preparation of such compounds, as no protection/ deprotection sequence of the hydroxyalkyl function and no preparation of an organometallic derivative is required.
