Chiral Bidentate Phosphoramidite-Pd Catalyzed Asymmetric Decarboxylative Dipolar Cycloaddition for Multistereogenic Tetrahydrofurans with Cyclic N-Sulfonyl Ketimine Moieties

An asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of vinyl ethylenecarbonates (VECs) and (E)-3-arylvinyl substituted benzo[d] isothiazole 1,1-dioxides has been developed using the Pd complex of a bidentate phosphoramidite (Me-BIPAM) as the catalyst, providing a wide variety of chiral multistereogenic vinyltetrahydrofurans in good yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20:1 dr, 99% ee).

Palladium-Catalyzed (3+3) Annulation of Allenylethylene Carbonates with Nitrile Oxides

In this paper, we designed and synthesized a new type of cyclic carbonates, allenylethylene carbonates (AECs). With AECs as reactive precursors, we developed palladium-catalyzed (3+3) annulation of AECs with nitrile oxides. Various AECs worked well in this reaction under mild reaction conditions. A variety of 5,6-dihydro-1,4,2-dioxazine derivatives with allenyl quaternary stereocenters can be accessed in a facile manner in high yields (≤98%).

Aerobic Direct Dioxygenation of Terminal/Internal Alkynes to α-Hydroxyketones by an Fe Porphyrin Catalyst

We herein report a new synthetic method for the preparation of α-hydroxyketones by the dioxygenation of alkynes. The reaction proceeds at room temperature under the action of Fe porphyrin and pinacolborane under air as a green oxidant to produce α-hydroxyketones. The mild reaction conditions allow chemoselective oxidation with functional group tolerance. Terminal alkynes in addition to internal alkynes are applicable, affording unsymmetrical α-hydroxyketones that are difficult to obtain by any reported dioxygenation of unsaturated C?C bonds.

Pd-Catalyzed Decarboxylative Olefination: Stereoselective Synthesis of Polysubstituted Butadienes and Macrocyclic P-glycoprotein Inhibitors

The efficient and stereoselective synthesis of polysubstituted butadienes, especially the multifunctional butadienes, represents a great challenge in organic synthesis. Herein, we wish to report a distinctive Pd(0) carbene-initiated decarboxylative olefination approach that enables the direct coupling of diazo esters with vinylethylene carbonates (VECs), vinyl oxazolidinones, or vinyl benzoxazinones to afford alcohol-, amine-, or aniline-containing 1,3-dienes in moderate to high yields and with excellent stereoselectivity. This protocol features operational simplicity, mild reaction conditions, a broad substrate scope, and gram-scalability. Notably, a structurally unique allylic Pd(II) intermediate was isolated and characterized. DFT calculation and control experiments demonstrated that a rare Pd(0) carbene intermediate could be involved in this reaction. Moreover, the polysubstituted butadienes as novel building blocks were unprecedentedly assembled into macrocycles, which efficiently inhibited the P-glycoprotein and dramatically reversed multidrug resistance in cancer cells by 190-fold.

Palladium-Catalyzed [5 + 2] Annulation of Vinylethylene Carbonates with Barbiturate-Derived Alkenes

A palladium/XantPhos-catalyzed [5 + 2] annulation of VECs with electron-deficient alkenes having an isolated carbon-carbon double bond has been developed to afford spirobarbiturate-tetrahydrooxepines. This study provides an expedient assembly of biologically interesting spirobarbiturate-tetrahydrooxepines. The easy scalability and versatile transformability of the reaction products were also exhibited.

Vinylethylene Carbonates as α,β-Unsaturated Aldehyde Surrogates for Regioselective [3 + 3] Cycloaddition

Herein, we report a novel stepwise addition-controlled ring size method, to access tetrahydropyrimidines through an operationally simple [3 + 3] cycloaddition of vinylethylene carbonates with triazinanes. Interestingly, we could also use this method for a [3 + 3] oxidative cycloaddition, which allows the facile synthesis of polysubstituted terphenyls under mild conditions. Mechanistic studies suggest that vinylethylene carbonates could generate α,β-unsaturated aldehydes as 3-carbon synthons for cycloaddition via a combination process of Pd-catalyzed decarboxylation and β-H elimination.

Regioselective three-component synthesis of 1,2-diarylindoles from cyclohexanones, α-hydroxyketones and anilines under transition-metal-free conditions

A facile method for the one-pot synthesis of 1,2-diarylindoles under transition-metal-free conditions is described. Cyclohexanones were used as the aryl sources via the dehydrogenative aromatization process. One C-C and two C-N bonds were selectively formed via a domino reaction. This protocol provides a convenient approach for the construction of valuable bioactive 1,2-diarylindoles from readily available cyclohexanones, α-hydroxyketones and anilines.

Spiro[indene-1,4′-oxa-zolidinones] Synthesis via Rh(III)-Catalyzed Coupling of 4-Phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2(3 H)-ones with Alkynes: A Redox-Neutral Approach

Transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation synthesis of heterocyclic spiro[4,4]nonanes has persistently witnessed the use of additional stoichiometric transition-metal oxidant when employing C=C bond as the spiro ring closure site. Herein, we have addressed the issue by reporting a redox-neutral strategy for spiro[indene-1,4′-oxa-zolidinones] synthesis via Rh(III)-catalyzed coupling of 4-phenyl-1,3-oxazol-2(3H)-ones with alkynes. The synthesis features a broad substrate scope and high regiospecificity.

Copper-Catalyzed Enantioselective Construction of Tertiary Propargylic Sulfones

Tertiary propargylic sulfones are of significant importance in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, but to date no general asymmetric synthesis approach has been developed. We disclose a versatile copper-catalyzed sulfonylation of propargylic cyclic carbonates using sodium sulfinates that allows the construction of propargylic sulfones featuring elusive quaternary stereocenters. This method provides the first successful example of such an enantioselective propargylic sulfonylation, features high asymmetric induction, wide functional group tolerance, and scalability, and enables attractive product diversification.

Natural products as sources of new fungicides (V): Design and synthesis of acetophenone derivatives against phytopathogenic fungi in vitro and in vivo

A series of acetophenone derivatives (10a–10i, 11, 12a–12g, 13a–13g, 14a–14d and 15a–15l) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for antifungal activities in vitro and in vivo. The antifungal activities of 53 compounds were tested against several plant pathogens, and their structure–activity relationship was summarized. Compounds 10a–10f displayed better antifungal effects than two reference fungicides. Interestingly, the most potent compound 10d exhibited antifungal properties against Cytospora sp., Botrytis cinerea, Magnaporthe grisea, with IC50 values of 6.0–22.6 μg/mL, especially Cytospora sp. (IC50 = 6.0 μg/mL). In the in vivo antifungal assays, 10d displayed the significant protective efficacy of 55.3% to Botrytis cinerea and 73.1% to Cytospora sp. The findings indicated that 10d may act as a potential pesticide lead compound that merits further investigation.
