A macrocyclic motif fosters productive protein-small molecule interactions. There are numerous examples of both natural product and designed, synthetic macrocycles that modulate the immune system, slow microbial infection, or kill eukaryotic cells. Reported here are the synthesis, physicochemical characterization, and antiproliferative activity of a group of [13]-macrodilactones decorated with a pendant biaryl moiety. Biaryl analogs were prepared by Suzuki reactions conducted on a common intermediate that contained a bromophenyl unit alpha to one of the carbonyls of the [13]-macrodilactone. Principal component analysis placed the new compounds in physicochemical context relative to a variety of pharmaceuticals and natural products. Modest inhibition of proliferation was observed in ASZ cells, a murine basal cell carcinoma line. This work underscores the value of an approach toward the identification of bioactive compounds that places the evaluation of physicochemical parameters early in the search process.

A general and direct synthesis of dicarboxylic acids including industrially important adipic acid by palladium-catalyzed dicarbonylation of allylic alcohol is reported. Specifically, the combination of PdCl2 and a bisphosphine ligand (HeMaRaphos) promotes two different carbonylation reactions with high activity and excellent selectivity.

Synthesis of supported Pd-based bimetallic catalysts is of great importance in the heterogeneous catalysis field owing to their optimal geometric and electronic effects. Downsizing active metals to ultrasmall nanocluster (2-reduction at 400–500 °C. Through the nitrogen-fixing strategy, we prepare 9 sub-2 nm Pd-based bimetallic nanocluster catalysts by conventional impregnation process. The prepared supported bimetallic Pd-Pb nanocluster catalyst exhibit a high turnover frequency of 1092 h?1 for the semihydrogenation of phenylacetylene under a mild condition (30 °C, 5 bar H2), along with a high selectivity of >93% to styrene, demonstrating the alloying and small-size effects in the bimetallic nanocluster catalysts.

An alkenyl C-H allylation by an exo-palladacycle intermediate is demonstrated, employing unactivated (Z)-Alkenes and allyl carbonates. With the use of an 8-Aminoquinoline (AQ) derived amide as the directing group, the N,N-bidentate-chelation-Assisted C-H activation protocol proceeded under mild and oxidant-free conditions with excellent selectivity. The utility of this approach is demonstrated by the preparative scale, selective conversion of inseparable Z/E alkenes and ready removal of the amide auxiliary to provide the corresponding ester.

A two-step degradation-reconstruction approach to the carbon-14 radiolabeling of alkyl carboxylic acids is presented. Simple activation via redox-active ester formation was followed by nickel-mediated decarboxylative carboxylation to afford a range of complex compounds with ample isotopic incorporations for drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic studies. The practicality and operational simplicity of the protocol were demonstrated by its use in an industrial carbon-14 radiolabeling setting.

Herein, we present a study on the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids using three recombinant aldehyde dehydrogenases (ALDHs). The ALDHs were used in purified form with a nicotinamide oxidase (NOx), which recycles the catalytic NAD+ at the expense of dioxygen (air at atmospheric pressure). The reaction was studied also with lyophilised whole cell as well as resting cell biocatalysts for more convenient practical application. The optimised biocatalytic oxidation runs in phosphate buffer at pH 8.5 and at 40 °C. From a set of sixty-one aliphatic, aryl-Aliphatic, benzylic, hetero-Aromatic and bicyclic aldehydes, fifty were converted with elevated yield (up to >99%). The exceptions were a few ortho-substituted benzaldehydes, bicyclic heteroaromatic aldehydes and 2-phenylpropanal. In all cases, the expected carboxylic acid was shown to be the only product (>99% chemoselectivity). Other oxidisable functionalities within the same molecule (e.g. hydroxyl, alkene, and heteroaromatic nitrogen or sulphur atoms) remained untouched. The reaction was scaled for the oxidation of 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural (2 g), a bio-based starting material, to afford 5-(hydroxymethyl)furoic acid in 61% isolated yield. The new biocatalytic method avoids the use of toxic or unsafe oxidants, strong acids or bases, or undesired solvents. It shows applicability across a wide range of substrates, and retains perfect chemoselectivity. Alternative oxidisable groups were not converted, and other classical side-reactions (e.g. halogenation of unsaturated functionalities, Dakin-Type oxidation) did not occur. In comparison to other established enzymatic methods such as the use of oxidases (where the concomitant oxidation of alcohols and aldehydes is common), ALDHs offer greatly improved selectivity.

An efficient enantioselective hypervalent iodine promoted oxylactonization of 4-pentenoic acids has been achieved using stoichiometric or a catalytic amount of chiral aryl-λ3-iodane. This reaction provides straightforward access to a wide range of sulfonyloxy-and phosphoryloxy-γ-butyrolactones in respectable yields with moderate to excellent enantioselectivities.
