The synthesis of chroman, isochroman, and pyran motifs has been accomplished via a combination of Pd(II)/bis-sulfoxide C-H activation and Lewis acid co-catalysis. A wide range of alcohols are found to be competent nucleophiles for the transformation under uniform conditions (catalyst, solvent, temperature). Mechanistic studies suggest that the reaction proceeds via initial C-H activation followed by a novel inner-sphere functionalization pathway. Consistent with this, the reaction shows reactivity trends orthogonal to those of traditional Pd(0)-catalyzed allylic substitutions.
β-Adrenergic blocking agents: Substituted phenylalkanolamines. Effect of side-chain length on β-blocking potency in vitro

The synthesis of a group of potential β-blockers bearing a new 5-ethoxysalicylamide substituent on nitrogen is described. These compounds were tested for β-adrenergic blocking potency in vitro and compared with analogous compounds bearing a tert-butyl group on nitrogen. The new N-substituent increased the β-blocking potency substantially. In a series of five homologous compounds of the type Ar(CH2)(n)CHOHCH2NHR (R = 5-ethoxysalicylamide; n = 0-4), two maxima of β-blocking potency were found for n = 0 and 2. Moreover, the carbon isostere of the corresponding (aryloxy)propanolamine still proved to be a very potent β-blocker. The ether oxygen in the side chain is therefore not an absolute requirement for activity. Structure-activity relationships are discussed.

The effects of substitution on the photochemistry of phenyl-ethenyl bichromophoric systems are reported.Methyl substitution at the 2-, 3-, 5-, and 1,1,2-positions in the pentene moiety of 5-phenylpent-1-ene reduces both reaction efficiency and selectivity but in contrast to intramolecular analogues the photoreaction of 3-phenethylcyclohexene is comparable with that of the corresponding cyclopentene.Incorporation of ester units in the connecting unit between the chromophores or on the ethene inhibits intramolecular cyclisation as does the presence of para OMe, CN, or COMe groups in 5-phenylpent-1-ene.In contrast reaction selectivity and efficiency are greatly promoted by ortho Me or OMe groups and the products reflect exlusive 1,3-cycloaddition.The presence of a para Me group in 5-phenylpent-1-ene leads to specific 2,6-intramolecular cyclisation but the reaction of the meta-Me derivative leads to four products derived from 1,3- and 1,5-intramolecular cycloaddition.The observations are discussed in terms of mechanisms of arene-ethene photoreactions and preferred conformations of the bichromophores.
