A total of 48 analogues of the natural product myxochelin A were prepared and evaluated for their inhibitory effects on human 5-lipoxygenase in both cell-free and cell-based assays. Structure–activity relationship analysis revealed that the secondary alcohol function and only chiral center of myxochelin A is not required for biological activity. By expanding the diaminoalkane linker of the two aromatic residues it was possible to generate a myxochelin derivative with superior activity against 5-lipoxygenase in intact cells.
Fluorophenols and (trifluoromethyl)phenols as substrates of site-selective metalation reactions: To protect or not to protect

O-Methoxymethyl (MOM) protected fluorophenols can be cleanly metalated and subsequently be submitted to site-selective electrophilic substitution. The 2- and 4-isomers exhibit ambivalent reactivity: deprotonation occurs at the position adjacent to the oxygen when butyllithium is employed whereas the position adjacent to the fluorine is attacked by the superbasic mixture of butyllithium and potassium tert-butoxide (LIC-KOR). The MOM-protected (trifluoromethyl)-phenols react exclusively at oxygen-neighboring positions. The meta isomer provides another example of optional site selectivity, undergoing hydrogen/metal exchange at the 2-position with the LIC-KOR reagent and at the 6-position with sec-butyllithium. Unprotected (trifluoromethyl)phenols can also be ortho-metalated after O-deprotonation, although the products are formed in only moderate yields.
