Catalyst-free and selective trifluoromethylative cyclization of acryloanilides using PhICF3Cl

Trifluoromethylation-triggered cyclization of alkenes provides a useful route to CF3-containing cyclic compounds. Current approaches to generate CF3-based initiators from a CF3 source require a catalyst or an activator. This work describes a catalyst-free protocol to innately produce electrophilic CF3 species from PhICF3Cl for trifluoromethylative cyclization of acryloanilides. A new domino biscyclization of dienes has been developed leading to trifluoroethylated tetrahydroindenoquinolinones with chemo- and stereo-selectivity.

Palladium-Catalyzed Phosphoryl-Carbamoylation of Alkenes: Construction of Nonbenzylic C(sp3)?P(O)R2 Bonds via C(sp3)?Pd(II)?P(O)R2 Reductive Elimination

We report the first example of palladium-catalyzed phosphoryl-carbamoylation of alkene-tethered carbamoyl chlorides with P(O)H compounds. Both H-phosphinates and secondary phosphine oxides are compatible with this reaction. DPE-Phos was used as ligand to facilitate nonbenzylic C(sp3)?P bonds formations via C(sp3)?Pd(II)?P reductive elimination. By using this protocol, a range of phosphorylated oxindoles and lactams were obtained in moderate to good yields. (Figure presented.).

Palladium-catalyzed cascade reactions of alkene-tethered carbamoyl chlorides with: N-tosyl hydrazones: Synthesis of alkene-functionalized oxindoles

A palladium-catalyzed cascade reaction of alkene-tethered carbamoyl chlorides with N-tosyl hydrazones is described. It provided a new way to synthesize various alkene-functionalized oxindoles bearing an all-carbon quaternary center. The olefin moieties co

Enantioselective Copper-Catalyzed Borylative Cyclization with Cyclic Imides

An enantioselective borylative cyclization cascade utilizing cyclic imides has been developed. We employ a highly enantioselective borylcupration process that includes a 1,2-addition to a cyclic imide. The products contain a valuable hemiaminal and boronate handle for further elaborations within a congested framework. This work demonstrates the utility of cyclic imides as simple precursors to unlock access to sought-after polycyclic indolines. Futhermore, this report highlights the capability to harness reactive catalytic intermediates to exploit otherwise unreactive functional groups.

Iron-Promoted Construction of Indoles via Intramolecular Oxidative C-N Coupling of 2-Alkenylanilines Using Persulfate

Indole scaffold synthesis relies primarily on oxidative C-H amination of N-protected alkenylanilines for C-N intramolecular cyclization reactions. Herein, for the first time, without N-protection, various readily prepared 2-alkenylanilines were transformed into the desired indole products in good yields by using K 2 S 2 O 8 as oxidant in the presence of catalytic amounts of FeF 2. The K 2 S 2 O 8 /FeF 2 system offers a direct and benign synthetic route to 3-arylindoles and it is applicable to a wide range of substituted indoles including drug intermediates.

Direct Electrophilic C?H Alkynylation of Unprotected 2-Vinylanilines

Unprotected aromatic amines can be used as directing groups in metal-catalyzed C?H alkynylations of alkenes. By using low amounts of an IrIIIcatalyst in combination with alkynylbenziodoxolones as electrophilic alkyne-transfer reagents, highly desirable 1,3-enynes were isolated in excellent yields of up to 98 % with Z stereoselectivity. A broad substrate scope as well as the high synthetic utility of the 1,3-enynes render this new method an efficient approach for the synthesis of five- and six-membered heterocycles. Further derivatizations of the 1,3-enynes to highly substituted quinolines through AuI- and N-bromosuccinimide-mediated exo-dig cyclizations were demonstrated.

NH2-directed C-H alkenylation of 2-vinylanilines with vinylbenziodoxolones

The first directing-group-mediated C-H alkenylation with alkenyl-λ3-iodanes as electrophilic alkene-transfer reagents has been developed. The application of free aromatic amines as challenging but synthetically valuable directing groups in combination with an IrIII catalyst enabled the synthesis of highly desirable 1, 3- dienes in excellent yields of up to 98% with high to perfect (Z, E) stereoselectivity. A broad substrate scope and further synthetic modifications are demonstrated.

Efficient syntheses of benzothiazepines as antagonists for the mitochondrial sodium-calcium exchanger: Potential therapeutics for type II diabetes

Type II diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder that can lead to serious cardiovascular, renal, neurologic, and retinal complications. While several drugs are currently prescribed to treat type II diabetes, their efficacy is limited by mechanism-related side effects (weight gain, hypoglycemia, gastrointestinal distress), inadequate efficacy for use as monotherapy, and the development of tolerance to the agents. Consequently, combination therapies are frequently employed to effectively regulate blood glucose levels. We have focused on the mitochondrial sodium-calcium exchanger (mNCE) as a novel target for diabetes drug discovery. We have proposed that inhibition of the mNCE can be used to regulate calcium flux across the mitochondrial membrane, thereby enhancing mitochondrial oxidative metabolism, which in turn enhances glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) in the pancreatic β-cell. In this paper, we report the facile synthesis of benzothiazepines and derivatives by S-alkylation using 2-aminobenzhydrols. The syntheses of other bicyclic analogues based on benzothiazepine, benzothiazecine, benzodiazecine, and benzodiazepine templates are also described. These compounds have been evaluated for their inhibition of mNCE activity, and the results from the structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies are discussed.
