We describe the enantioselective synthesis and biological evaluation of 4-(2-amino-1-hydroxyethyl)pyridines (4 AHPs) as new antimalarial drug candidates. In particular, two routes to obtain the key-intermediate 4-vinyl-pyridine were studied. These routes are based on a Kr?hnke-type cyclization or on metal-catalyzed reactions. The Kr?hnke-type cyclization route is faster but only efficient at low scale since this pathway involves a Wittig reaction that requires severe temperature-control. Consequently, we designed a second route based on metal-catalyzed reactions. This way is longer but the 4-vinyl-pyridine can be obtained on a 5 g scale at least. Finally, a regioselective SN2 ring-opening of enantiopure epoxides by alkyl primary amines allowed the synthesis of eight 4-AHPs with global yields up to 41%. These compounds show strong in vitro antimalarial activity against P. falciparum strains and are more active that chloroquine and mefloquine. These results demonstrate that 4-AHPs are promising antimalarial drug candidates.

Cyclic structures are highly represented in organic molecules, motivating a wealth of catalytic methods targeting their synthesis. Among the various ring-forming processes, cyclooligomerization reactions possess several attractive features but require addressing a unique challenge associated with controlling ring-size selectivity. Here we describe the catalytic reductive cocyclooligomerization of an enone and three carbene equivalents to generate a cyclopentane, a process that constitutes a formal [2 + 1 + 1 + 1]-cycloaddition. The reaction is promoted by a (quinox)Ni catalyst and uses CH2Cl2/Zn as the C1 component. Mechanistic studies are consistent with a metallacycle-based pathway, featuring sequential migratory insertions of multiple carbene equivalents to yield cycloalkanes larger than cyclopropanes.
Design and synthesis of 3-trifluoromethyl-3h-pyrazoles and further investigations of their transformation to 1h-pyrazoles

An efficient intramolecular cycloaddition strategy for the synthesis of trifluoromethyl-substituted 3H-pyrazoles was developed. Subsequently, their wide applications were demonstrated: they (1) react with dioxane by a radical process and (2) undergo [1,5] sigmatropic rearrangements. These applications are useful as the products were obtained in high yields and with excellent regioselectivity.
