Direct synthesis of anthracenes from o-tolualdehydes and aryl iodides through Pd(II)-Catalyzed sp3 C–H arylation and electrophilic aromatic cyclization

The first direct synthesis of substituted anthracenes from o-tolualdehydes and aryl iodides via a Pd(II)-catalyzed C–H arylation using an alcohol-bearing transient directing group and subsequent AgOTf-assisted electrophilic aromatic cyclization is described. New transient directing groups consisting of amino acids and amino alcohols enhanced the reactivity, and the C–H arylation was complete in 12 h at 90 °C. By simply changing the silver salt to silver triflate, the one-pot synthesis of anthracene derivatives was carried out using the present reaction conditions.

Cleavage of unactivated amide bonds by ammonium salt-accelerated hydrazinolysis

Hydrazinolysis of unactivated amide bonds is significantly accelerated by the addition of ammonium salts. The reactions proceed at 50-70 °C to give amines with broad substrate scope that outperforms existing amide bond cleavage reactions. Application to peptide and amino sugar derivatives is also demonstrated. This journal is

Highly enantioselective epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated ketones catalyzed by primary-secondary diamines

The asymmetric epoxidation of α,β-unsaturated ketones has been achieved by using functional and readily accessible primary-secondary diamines as the catalysts, giving the useful alkyl epoxy products with good yields and high enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Copyright

Enantioselective nickel-catalyzed conjugate addition of dialkylzinc to chalcones using chiral α-amino amides

A series of α-amino amides derived from natural amino acids (alanine, valine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, and phenylglycine) have been synthesized and fully characterized. Their Ni(II) complexes prepared from Ni(acac)2 catalyze the enantioselective conjugate addition of diethylzinc to chalcones in high yields and in good enantioselectivities (up to 84%). The side chain of the amino acid and the substituents in the amide nitrogen govern the enantioselectivity of the catalytic process.

Development of potent bifunctional endomorphin-2 analogues with mixed μ-/δ-opioid agonist and δ-opioid antagonist properties

The C terminus of endomorphin-2 (EM-2) analogues (Tyr-Pro-Phe-NH-X) was modified with aromatic, heteroaromatic, or aliphatic groups (X = phenethyl,benzyl, phenyl, naphthyl, pyridyl, quinolyl, isoquinolyl, tert-butyl, cyclohexyl, or adamantyl; 3-18) to study their effect on opioid activity. Only 9 (1-naphthyl), 11 (5-quinolyl), 16 (cyclohexyl), and 18 (2-adamantyl) exhibited μ-opioid receptor affinity in the nanomolar range (Ki = 2.41-6.59 nM), which, however, was 3-to 10-fold less than the parent peptide. Replacement of Tyr1 by Dmt (2′,6′-dimethyl-L-tyrosine) (19-32) exerted profound effects: (i) acquisition of high μ-opioid receptor affinity (Ki = 0.11-0.52 nM) except 23 (Ph); (ii) presence of potent functional μ-opioid receptor agonism (IC50 1]EM-2), 27 (1-naphthyl), 29 (5-quinolyl), and 32 (5-isolquinolyl); (iii) association of weak δ-opioid antagonist activity (pA2 = 5.41-7.18) except 19 ([Dmt1]EM-2), 20 (H), 27 (1-naphthyl), and in particular 29 (5-quinolyl) with its potent δ-agonism (IC50 = 0.62 nM, pA2 = 5.88); (iv) production of antinociception after ic administration of 32 (5-isoquinolyl) in mice, a bioactivity absent in the corresponding Tyr1 analogue (14); and (v) preferential cis orientation (cis/trans = 3:2 to 7:3) at the Dmt-Pro amide bond, in contrast to the Tyr-Pro amide trans orientation (cis/trans = 1:2 to 1:3). Thus, [Dmt1]EM-2 analogues with hydrophobic C-terminal extensions provide model compounds with potent μ-opioid receptor bioactivity and dual functional agonism.

A Series of Potent HIV-1 Protease Inhibitors Containing a Hydroxyethyl Secondary Amine Transition State Isostere: Synthesis, Enzyme Inhibition, and Antiviral Activity

A series of HIV-1 protease inhibitors containing a novel hydroxyethyl secondary amine transition state isostere has been synthesized.The compounds exhibit a strong preference for the (R) stereochemistry at the transition state hydroxyl group.Molecular modeling studies with the prototype compound 11 have provided important insights into the structural requirements for good inhibitor-active site binding interaction.N-Terminal extension of 11 into the P2-P3 region led to the discovery of 19, the most potent enzyme inhibitor in the series (IC50 = 5.4 nM). 19 was shown to have potent antiviral activity in cultured MT-4 human T-lymphoid cells.Comparison of analogs of 19 with analogs of 1 (Ro31-8959) demonstrates that considerably different structure-activity relationships exist between these two subclasses of hydroxyethylamine HIV-protease inhibitors.
