A transition-metal-free method for the alkylation of gem-diborylalkanes with α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed. It is demonstrated that the α-boryl radicals can be generated efficiently from gem-diborylalkanes with the aid of catechol and oxidants. The α-boryl radicals formed through such process can be engaged in conjugate addition reaction with α,β-unsaturated ketones. This transformation is a straightforward method for the synthesis of γ-borylketones.

Herein we report an enantioselective sulfenylation of cyclic imino esters with the efficient and versatile sulfenylation reagent S-alkyl 4-methylbenzenesulfonothioates. By utilizing the Cu/tBu-Phosferrox catalytic system, we can assemble diverse S-alkyl groups into the cyclic imino esters under mild conditions in good yields and with excellent enantioselectivities. Remarkably, this method demonstrates a high tolerance of diverse functional groups and proves to be applicable in the late-stage functionalization of pharmaceuticals.

The protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi is the causative agent of Chagas disease, the most important parasitic infection in Latin America. The only treatments currently available are nitro-derivative drugs that are characterised by high toxicity and limited efficacy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for more effective, less toxic therapeutic agents. We have previously identified the potential for Mannich base derivatives as novel inhibitors of this parasite. To further explore this family of compounds, we synthesised a panel of 69 new analogues, based on multi-parametric structure-activity relationships, which allowed optimization of both anti-parasitic activity, physicochemical parameters and ADME properties. Additionally, we optimized our in vitro screening approaches against all three developmental forms of the parasite, allowing us to discard the least effective and trypanostatic derivatives at an early stage. We ultimately identified derivative 3c, which demonstrated excellent trypanocidal properties, and a synergistic mode of action against trypomastigotes in combination with the reference drug benznidazole. Both its druggability and low-cost production make this derivative a promising candidate for the preclinical, in vivo assays of the Chagas disease drug-discovery pipeline.

, p. 6004 - 6009 (2021/07/31)
An efficient nickel(0)-catalyzed addition of benzyl nitriles to terminal vinyl ketones via C(sp3)-H functionalization has been developed. The reaction provides a novel and efficient protocol for the synthesis of α-functionalized benzyl nitriles with a wide range of structural diversity under mild reaction conditions while obviating the use of a strong base. The work might be potentially useful toward the development of an enantioselective variant using chiral nitrogen ligands.

Herein we describe a nickel-catalyzed remote hydrosilylation of unconjugated enones with bulky triphenylsilane. A range ofZ-silyl enol ethers are obtained as major isomers due to the process of nickel triggered alkene isomerization. Notably, some specific

A copper-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of β-nitroethyl aryl ketones has been disclosed, and the corresponding chiral alcohols could be obtained in high yields (up to 99% yield) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). Moreover, the reaction worked well on a gram scale with 0.3 mol % of ligand loading, indicating that our protocol has potential applications in the synthesis of important pharmaceuticals such as Tranylcypromine and Ticagrelor.

Unprecedented direct access to terminal enones via α-methylenation of aryl ketones to form C=C bond is achieved under visible-light conditions using methanol as one carbon source substrate and solvent as well. The reaction involves Cu@g-C3N4-catalysed in situ oxidation of methanol into formaldehyde followed by dehydrative cross aldol type reaction. Various aryl ketones react efficiently with MeOH, producing α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds only in 4–8 h at room temperature in excellent yield (84–97%). Operational simplicity, wide substrate scope, ambient reaction conditions, visible-light photocatalysis and novel application of MeOH as methylene donor substrate are the salient features making the envisaged protocol mild, efficient and green alternative to the existing methods for synthesis of such fine chemicals.

, p. 7545 - 7554 (2019/12/15)
A rhodium-catalyzed decarbonylative addition of salicylaldehydes with vinyl ketones was developed to synthesize o-hydroxydihydrochalcones (2-hydroxyphenethyl ketones). These decarbonylative addition reactions afforded various functionalized o-hydroxydihydrochalcones in moderate to good yields with broad functional group tolerance and selectivity. This method was also applied further in the divergent synthesis of dihydrochalcone derived taccabulins A–E.
