Electrochemical Sulfenylation of 4-Hydroxycoumarins with Aryl Thiols Catalyzed by Potassium Iodide

A KI-catalyzed indirect electrochemical oxidative method for the synthesis of sulfenylated 4-hydroxycoumarins via cross-coupling of 4-hydroxycoumarins and aryl thiols at a low potential has been reported. The electrocatalytic activity of KI for sulfenylat

Rational Design and Synthesis of Methyl-β- d -galactomalonyl Phenyl Esters as Potent Galectin-8 N Antagonists

Galectin-8 is a β-galactoside-recognizing protein having an important role in the regulation of bone remodeling and cancer progression and metastasis. Methyl β-d-galactopyranoside malonyl aromatic esters have been designed to target and engage with particular amino acid residues of the galectin-8N extended carbohydrate-binding site. The chemically synthesized compounds had in vitro binding affinity toward galectin-8N in the range of 5-33 μM, as evaluated by isothermal titration calorimetry. This affinity directly correlated with the compounds' ability to inhibit galectin-8-induced expression of chemokines and proinflammatory cytokines in the SUM159 breast cancer cell line. X-ray crystallographic structure determination revealed that these monosaccharide-based compounds bind galectin-8N by engaging its unique arginine (Arg59) and simultaneously cross-linking to another arginine (Arg45) located across the carbohydrate-binding site. This structure-based drug design approach has led to the discovery of novel monosaccharide galactose-based antagonists, with the strongest-binding compound (Kd 5.72 μM) holding 7-fold tighter than the disaccharide lactose.

Malonic acid half oxyesters and thioesters: Solvent-free synthesis and DFT analysis of their enols

A much improved synthetic route to malonic acid half thioesters (MAHTs) and oxyesters (MAHOs), the easy incorporation of deuterium labeling expecially in MAHTs, and an unexpectedly large difference in enolization chemistry between MAHTs and MAHOs are repo

Clean and convenient one-pot synthesis of 4-hydroxycoumarin and 4-hydroxy-2-quinolinone derivatives

A simple, efficient, and environmentally friendly procedure has been developed for the reaction of Meldrum's acid with phenol, substituted phenols, aniline, or substituted anilines with Eaton's reagent (phosphoric anhydride+methylsulfonic acid) as cyclization reagent. 4-Hydroxycoumarins and 4-hydroxy-2-quinolinones were synthesized in moderate yields by carrying out the reaction in solvent-free, convenient, and clean one-pot preparation.

Decarboxylative ketone aldol reactions: Development and mechanistic evaluation under metal-free conditions

(Chemical Equation Presented) Malonic acid half thioesters (MAHTs) and malonic acid half oxyesters (MAHOs) are shown to undergo decarboxylative nucleophilic addition reactions with ketone and aldehyde electrophiles in the presence of stoichiometric or catalytic quantities of triethylamine at room temperature. The ability to perform these reactions under metal-free conditions has enabled a detailed mechanistic analysis of the reaction pathway leading to the 1H NMR spectroscopic characterization of a postnucleophilic addition/predecarboxylation intermediate and experimental evidence for a reversible formation of this intermediate followed by an irreversible decarboxylation. Rate constants for each of the bond forming/bond breaking steps in the reaction pathway were also determined, casting light on the differing reactivity betweenMAHOandMAHT nucleophiles in these processes. Finally, the mechanistic insights gained through these studies have been employed in the development of a new decarboxylative coumarin synthesis.
