The synergistic copper/ppm Pd-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of alkynes with formic acid as a CO surrogate as well as a hydrogen source: An alternative indirect utilization of CO2

An unprecedented strategy has been developed involving the earth-abundant Cu-catalyzed hydrocarboxylation of alkynes with HCOOH to (E)-acrylic derivatives with high regio- and stereoselectivity via synergistic effects with ppm levels of a Pd catalyst. Both symmetrical and unsymmetrical alkynes bearing various functional groups were successfully hydrocarboxylated with HCOOH, and the modification of a pharmaceutical molecule exemplified the practicability of this process. This protocol employs HCOOH as both a CO surrogate and hydrogen donor with 100% atom economy and it can be viewed as an alternative approach for indirect CO2 utilization. Mechanistic investigations indicate a Cu/ppm Pd cooperative catalysis mechanism via alkenylcopper species as potential intermediates formed from Cu-hydride active catalytic species with HCOOH as a hydrogen source. This bimetallic system involving inexpensive Cu and trace Pd provides a reliable and efficient hydrocarboxylation method to access industrially useful acrylic derivatives with HCOOH as a hydrogen source, and it provides novel clues for optimizing other Cu-H-related co-catalytic systems.

Copper-Photocatalyzed Contra-Thermodynamic Isomerization of Polarized Alkenes

The contra-thermodynamic isomerization of α- and β-substituted cinnamate derivatives catalyzed by the Cu(OAc)2/rac-BINAP complex under blue light irradiation is reported. The use of an oxazolidinone template, which favored the complexation of the copper catalyst to the substrate, allowed the E → Z isomerization of the catalytically formed chromophore under simple and robust reaction conditions in good to excellent ratios. The mechanism of this process based on the transient formation of a chromophore was also studied.

Macrolide Synthesis through Intramolecular Oxidative Cross-Coupling of Alkenes

A RhIII-catalyzed intramolecular oxidative cross-coupling between double bonds for the synthesis of macrolides is described. Under the optimized reaction conditions, macrocycles containing a diene moiety can be formed in reasonable yields and with excellent chemo- and stereoselectivity. This method provides an efficient approach to synthesize macrocyclic compounds containing a 1,3-conjugated diene structure.

Enantioselective Cobalt-Catalyzed Sequential Nazarov Cyclization/Electrophilic Fluorination: Access to Chiral α-Fluorocyclopentenones

A newly designed thiazoline iminopyridine ligand for enantioselective cobalt-catalyzed sequential Nazarov cyclization/electrophilic fluorination was developed. Various chiral α-fluorocyclopentenones were prepared with good yields and diastereo- and enantioselectivities. Further derivatizations could be easily carried out to provide chiral cyclopentenols with three contiguous stereocenters. Furthermore, a direct deesterification of fluorinated products could afford chiral α-single fluorine-substituted cyclopentenones.

Synthesis of chiral α-benzyl-β2-hydroxy carboxylic acids through iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of α- oxymethylcinnamic acids

An asymmetric hydrogenation of α-oxymethylcinnamic acids was developed by using chiral spiro phosphine-oxazoline/iridium complexes as catalysts to prepare β2-hydroxycarboxylic acids with high reactivity (TON up to 2000) and excellent enantioselectivity (up to 99.5% ee). By using this highly efficient asymmetric hydrogenation as a key step, a concise total synthesis of natural product homoisoflavone (S)-(+)-4 was accomplished.

Synthesis and SAR study of modulators inhibiting tRXRα-dependent AKT activation

RXRα represents an intriguing and unique target for pharmacologic interventions. We recently showed that Sulindac and a designed analog could bind to RXRα and modulate its biological activity, including inhibition of the interaction of an N-terminally truncated RXRα (tRXRα) with the p85α regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol-3-OH kinase (PI3K). Here we report the synthesis, testing and SAR of a series of novel analogs of Sulindac as potential modulators for inhibiting tRXRα-dependent AKT activation. A new compound 30 was identified to have improved biological activity.
