Reaction of 1,3-Bis(het)arylmonothio-1,3-diketones with Sodium Azide: Regioselective Synthesis of 3,5-Bis(het)arylisoxazoles via Intramolecular N-O Bond Formation

An efficient new synthesis of 3,5-bis(het)arylisoxazoles, involving the reaction of 1,3-bis(het)arylmonothio-1,3-diketones with sodium azide in the presence of IBX catalyst, has been reported. The reaction proceeds at room temperature in high yields and is applicable to a broad range of substrates including the synthesis of 5-methyl-3-arylisoxazoles, a key subunit present in several β-lactamase-resistant antibiotics. A probable mechanism for the formation of isoxazoles has been suggested. A few of the 5-styryl/arylbutadienyl-3-(het)arylisoxazoles have also been synthesized by reacting the corresponding 1-(het)aryl-1-(methylthio)-4-(het)arylidene-but-1-en-3-ones with sodium azide at higher temperatures. The reaction of β-ketodithioesters with sodium azide is shown to furnish β-ketonitriles in good yields.

Synthesis and biological evaluation of 7-(aminoalkyl)pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives as cathepsin K inhibitors

A series of novel 7-aminoalkyl substituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were synthesized and tested for inhibition of cathepsin K. The synthetic methodology comprises cyclization of 5-aminopyrazoles with N-Boc-α-amino acid-derived ynones followed by transformation of the ester and the Boc-amino functions. It allows for easy diversification of the pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine scaffold at various positions. Molecular docking studies with pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine derivatives were also performed to elucidate the binding mode in the active site of cathepsin K. The synthesized compounds exhibited moderate inhibition activity (Ki ≥ 77 μM).

One-pot synthesis of benzoylacetonitriles through sequential Pd-catalyzed carbonylation and decarboxylation

Benzoylacetonitrile were prepared through sequential carbonylation and decarboxylation. The palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl iodides and methyl cyanoacetate using Mo(CO)6 as a carbon monoxide source afforded beta-keto cyanoesters, and then the subsequent reaction with Li/H2O produced the desired benzoylacetonitriles.

Discovery of a novel alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor agonist series and characterization of the potent, selective, and orally efficacious agonist 5-(4-acetyl[1,4]diazepan-1-yl)pentanoic acid [5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H- pyrazol-3-yl] amide (SEN15924, WAY-361789)

Alpha-7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (α7 nAChR) are implicated in the modulation of many cognitive functions such as attention, working memory, and episodic memory. For this reason, α7 nAChR agonists represent promising therapeutic candidates for the treatment of cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and schizophrenia. A medicinal chemistry effort, around our previously reported chemical series, permitted the discovery of a novel class of α7 nAChR agonists with improved selectivity, in particular against the α3 receptor subtype and better ADME profile. The exploration of this series led to the identification of 5-(4-acetyl[1,4] diazepan-1-yl)pentanoic acid [5-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-yl] amide (25, SEN15924, WAY-361789), a novel, full agonist of the α7 nAChR that was evaluated in vitro and in vivo. Compound 25 proved to be potent and selective, and it demonstrated a fair pharmacokinetic profile accompanied by efficacy in rodent behavioral cognition models (novel object recognition and auditory sensory gating).

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation with Mo(CO)for the synthesis of benzoylacetonitriles

Benzoylacetonitriles were synthesized by the palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl iodides and trimethylsilylacetonitrile using Mo(CO)as a carbon monoxide source. Pd(PPhCland CuFwere employed as the catalyst and activator, respectively. A variety of aryl iodides bearing alkyl, alkoxy, fluoro, chloro, bromo, nitrile, ester, and ketone groups afforded the corresponding benzoylacetonitriles in moderate to good yields.

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylation of aryl iodides and trimethylsilylacetonitrile to produce benzoylacetonitrile derivatives through a one-pot, three-component reaction is described.

Iridium diamine catalyst for the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of ketones

A simple and very efficient chiral aqua iridium(III) diamine complex leads to excellent enantioselectivities in the asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of various α-cyano and α-nitro ketones. The catalyst provides the ortho-substituted aromatic alcohols with especially high ee values. The diamine ligands can be used directly as chiral ligands; conversion into the corresponding sulfamide is not necessary.

Bromophilic substitution/carbophilic substitution cascade reactions of α,α-dibromo-2-methoxyacetophenone with C-, N- and O-nucleophiles

α,α-Dibromo-2-methoxyacetophenone reacts, under mild reaction conditions, with C-, N- and O-nucleophiles via a bromophilic substitution/protonation/carbophilic substitution cascade process to afford α-monosubstituted-2-methoxyacetophenones in moderate to good yield. The only exception from this reaction pathway is the reaction with the anion derived from malononitrile in which 2-aroyl-1,1,3,3-tetracyanopropene is obtained.
