Lewis Acid Catalyzed Annulation of Cyclopropane Carbaldehydes and Aryl Hydrazines: Construction of Tetrahydropyridazines and Application Toward a One-Pot Synthesis of Hexahydropyrrolo[1,2- b]pyridazines

In this report, a facile synthesis of tetrahydropyridazines via a Lewis acid catalyzed annulation reaction of cyclopropane carbaldehydes and aryl hydrazines has been demonstrated. Moreover, the generated tetrahydropyridazine further participated in a cycloaddition reaction with donor-acceptor cyclopropanes to furnish hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazines. We also performed these two steps in one pot in a consecutive manner. In addition, a monodecarboxylation reaction of hexahydropyrrolo[1,2-b]pyridazine was achieved with a good yield.

Structural Fine-Tuning of Desmuramylpeptide NOD2 Agonists Defines Their in Vivo Adjuvant Activity

We report on the design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of a series of nucleotide-binding oligomerization-domain-containing protein 2 (NOD2) desmuramylpeptide agonists with improved in vitro and in vivo adjuvant properties. We identified two promising compounds: 68, a potent nanomolar in vitro NOD2 agonist, and the more lipophilic 75, which shows superior adjuvant activity in vivo. Both compounds had immunostimulatory effects on peripheral blood mononuclear cells at the protein and transcriptional levels, and augmented dendritic-cell-mediated activation of T cells, while 75 additionally enhanced the cytotoxic activity of peripheral blood mononuclear cells against malignant cells. The C18 lipophilic tail of 75 is identified as a pivotal structural element that confers in vivo adjuvant activity in conjunction with a liposomal delivery system. Accordingly, liposome-encapsulated 75 showed promising adjuvant activity in mice, surpassing that of muramyl dipeptide, while achieving a more balanced Th1/Th2 immune response, thus highlighting its potential as a vaccine adjuvant.

Regioselective Br?nsted Acid-Catalyzed Annulation of Cyclopropane Aldehydes with N′-Aryl Anthranil Hydrazides: Domino Construction of Tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2- a]quinazolin-5(1 H)ones

A highly regioselective synthesis of tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)one derivatives was achieved by reacting cyclopropane aldehydes with N′-aryl anthranil hydrazides in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA). The transformation involves domino imine formation and intramolecular cyclization to form 2-arylcyclopropyl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-one, followed by nucleophilic ring opening of the cyclopropyl ring to form desired tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)one in good to excellent yield with complete regioselectivity. This protocol tolerates a great variety of functional groups and thus provides a simple and step-efficient method for pyrroloquinazolinone synthesis.

Accessing dihydro-1,2-oxazine via cloke-wilson-type annulation of cyclopropyl carbonyls: application toward the diastereoselective synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2- b][1,2]oxazine

A convenient additive-free synthesis of dihydro-4H-1,2-oxazines via a Cloke-Wilson-type ring expansion of the aryl-substituted cyclopropane carbaldehydes with the hydroxylamine salt is introduced. Comparatively less active cyclopropyl ketones also follow a similar protocol if supplemented by catalytic p-toluene sulfonic acid monohydrate. The transformation is performed in an open-to-air flask as it shows negligible sensitivity toward air/moisture. Dihydro-4H-1,2-oxazines when subjected to cycloaddition with the cyclopropane diester afford a trouble-free formulation of the valued hexahydro-2H-pyrrolo[1,2-b][1,2]oxazine derivatives. A cascade one-pot variant of this two-step strategy offers a comparable overall yield of the final product.

Exploitation of Cyclopropane Carbaldehydes to Prins Cyclization: Quick Access to (E)-Hexahydrooxonine and Octahydrocyclopenta[ b]pyran

A single-step TiX4-mediated Prins-type cyclization of cyclopropane carbaldehydes with 3-buten-1-ol for the highly stereoselective construction of relatively strained (E)-hexahydrooxonines is reported. Switching the alcohol to 3-butyn-1-ol prompted a similar route, augmented by another cyclization within a nine-membered ring to afford a bicyclized product (4,4-dihalo-5-aryloctahydrocyclopenta[b]pyran). Easy transformation of the resulting geminal dihalide to a vinyl halide and a ketone further supplemented the substance of this approach.
