THE REDUCTIVE ALKYLATION OF MELDRUM'S ACID

Meldrum's acid can be reductively alkylated with borane*dimethylamine complex and aldehydes or ketones; borane*trimethylamine was used with cyclohexanone.

Development of prohibitin ligands against osteoporosis

Current therapeutic approaches to osteoporosis display some potential adverse effects and a limited efficacy on non-vertebral fracture reduction. Some sulfonylamidines targeting the scaffold proteins prohibitins-1 and 2 (PHB1/2) have been showed to inhibit the formation of osteoclasts in charge of bone resorption. Herein, we report the development of a second generation of anti-osteoclastic PHB ligands. The most potent compound, IN45, showed 88% inhibition at the low concentration of 5 μM, indicates that it might serve as a basis for the development of new antiosteoporotic drugs.

Multi-catalysis cascade reactions based on the methoxycarbonylketene platform: Diversity-oriented synthesis of functionalized non-symmetrical malonates for agrochemicals and pharmaceuticals

In this paper we describe new multi-catalysis cascade (MCC) reactions for the one-pot synthesis of highly functionalized non-symmetrical malonates. These metal-free reactions are either five-step (olefination/hydrogenation/alkylation/ ketenization/esterif

Development of pharmaceutical drugs, drug intermediates and ingredients by using direct organo-click reactions

Here we report on our studies of the use of combinations of amino acids, amines, K2CO3 or Cs2CO3 and CuSO4/Cu for catalysing green cascade reactions. We aimed to prepare the highly reactive and substituted olefin species 7 and 8, under very mild and environmentally friendly conditions, thus giving the hydrogenated products 10 and 12 through the action of Hantzsch ester (4) by self-catalysis through decreasing the HOMO-LUMO energy gaps between olefins 7/8 and Hantzsch ester (4) through biomimetic reductions. Highly useful compounds 10 to 14 were assembled from simple substrates such as aldehydes 1, ketones 2, CH acids 3, Hantzsch ester (4) and alkyl halides 5 by diversity-oriented green synthesis involving cascade olefination/hydrogenation (O/H), olefination/hydrogenation/alkylation (O/H/A) and hydrogenation/olefination/hydrogenation (H/O/H) reaction sequences in one-pot fashion with stereospecific organo- and organo-/metal-carbonate catalysis. Highly functionalized diverse compounds such as 10 to 14 are biologically active products and have found wide applications as pharmaceutical drugs, drug intermediates and drug ingredients. For the first time in organocatalysis, we report the O/H/A/TE reaction to furnish high yields of transesterification products 11 by simply mixing the reactants under proline/K2CO3 catalysis conditions. Additionally, a novel organocatalytic H/O/H reaction sequence for the synthesis of alkyl-substituted aromatics has been developed. Furthermore, for the first time we have developed organocatalysed cascade olefination/hydrogenation/hydrolysis (O/H/H) reactions to furnish highly useful materials such as 2-oxochroman-3-carboxylic acid (14kc) and 2-amino-4H-chromene-3-carbonitrile (14kj) in good yields. Experimentally simple and environmentally friendly organocatalytic two-carbon homologation through cascade O/H/H reactions of aldehydes 1, Meldrum's acid (3c), Hantzsch ester (4) and acetic acid/triethylamine in ethanol has been demonstrated. Additionally, we have developed a green synthesis of the highly substituted 1,2,3-triazole 17 from simple substrates through a two-step combination of olefination/hydrogenation/alkylation and Huisgen cycloaddition reaction sequences under stereospecific organocopper catalysis conditions. In this paper we have found strong support for our hypothesis that, "decreasing the HOMO-LUMO energy gap between olefins 7/8 and Hantzsch ester (4) will drive the biomimetic hydrogenation reaction by self-catalysis". This self-catalysis was further confirmed with many varieties of examples. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.

Development of drug intermediates by using direct organocatalytic multi-component reactions

Development of drug intermediates by using direct amino acid organocatalytic multi-component reaction was investigated. Hydrogenations of double-bond containing compounds including carbonyls, imines and olefins are important for living organisms as well as for the industrial production of chemicals. Amino acid catalysis has emerged as a powerful green synthetic tool for the development of both achiral and chiral catalysis of condensations and cycloadditions and the 1,2- and 1,4-additions of enals, enones and ketones including electrophiles. It was found that the amino acid proline 4a catalyzes the Knoevenagel condenstion of cyclohexanone 1a with the CH-acid ethyl cyanoacetate 2a to furnish the active olefin 9aa. This simple and environmentally friendly approach can be used to construct highly substituted hydrogenated products in a regioselective fashion with good yields.
