Rate Enhancement in CAN-Promoted Pd(PPh3)2Cl2-Catalyzed Oxidative Cyclization: Synthesis of 2-Ketofuran-4-carboxylate Esters

Stoichiometric ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) and a catalytic amount of Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 (5 mol %) can rapidly produce multisubstituted 2-ketofuran-4-carboxylate esters from 2-propargylic 1,3-ketoesters via oxidative O-cyclization reaction. Pd(PPh3)2Cl2 was found to be the crucial catalyst as its inclusion greatly enhanced the rate of the reaction and cleanly afforded the products within minutes. Over 30 substrates were successfully converted to the desired compounds in mostly moderate to good yields.

3-Arylpropionylhydroxamic acid derivatives as Helicobacter pylori urease inhibitors: Synthesis, molecular docking and biological evaluation

Helicobacter pylori urease is involved in several physiologic responses such as stomach and duodenal ulcers, adenocarcinomas and stomach lymphomas. Thus, inhibition of urease is taken for a good chance to treat H. pylori-caused infections, we have therefore focused our efforts on seeking novel urease inhibitors. Here, a series of arylpropionylhydroxamic acids were synthesized and evaluated for urease inhibition. Out of these compounds, 3-(2-benzyloxy-5-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxypropionylhydroxamic acid (d24) was the most active inhibitor with IC50of 0.15?±?0.05?μM, showing a mixed inhibition with both competitive and uncompetitive aspects. Non-linear fitting of kinetic data gives kinetics parameters of 0.13 and 0.12?μg·mL?1for Kiand Ki′, respectively. The plasma protein binding assays suggested that d24 exhibited moderate binding to human and rabbit plasma proteins.

N-heterocyclic carbene mediated Reformatsky reaction of aldehydes with a-trimethylsilylcarbonyl compounds

N-Heterocyclic carbenes have been employed as highly efficient organocatalysts to mediate silyl-Reformatsky type reaction. In the presence of only 0.5 mol % nucleophilic carbene 1, various aldehydes coupled with α-trimethylsilylethylacetate very smoothly in DMF at room temperature to provide the corresponding β-hydroxyesters in moderate to high yields. α-Trimethylsilylketone and α-trimethylsilylamide can also undergo the addition reaction to give β-hydroxyketone and b-hydroxyamide in moderate yields.

Synthesis, molecular docking and kinetic properties of β-hydroxy- β-phenylpropionyl-hydroxamic acids as Helicobacter pylori urease inhibitors

Inhibition of urease results in Helicobacter pylori growth arrest in the stomach, promoting urease as promising targets for gastrointestinal ulcer therapy. Twenty hybrid derivatives of flavonoid scaffold and hydroxamic acid, β-hydroxy-β-phenylpropionylhydroxamic acids, were therefore synthesized and evaluated against H. pylori urease. Biological evaluation of these compounds showed improved urease inhibition exhibiting micromolar to mid-nanomolar IC50 values. Most importantly, 3-(3-chlorophenyl)-3- hydroxypropionyl-hydroxamic acid (6g) exhibited high potency with IC 50 of 0.083 ± 0.004 μM and Ki of 0.014 ± 0.003 μM, indicating that 6g is an excellent candidate to develop novel antiulcer agent. A mixture of competitive and uncompetitive mechanism was putatively proposed to understand the inconsistency between the crystallographic and kinetic studies for the first time, which is supported by our molecular docking studies.

P(i-PrNCH2CH2)3N: Efficient catalyst for synthesizing β-hydroxyesters and α,β-unsaturated esters using α-trimethylsilylethylacetate (TMSEA)

(Chemical Equation Presented) We present an efficient synthesis of β-hydroxyesters and R,β-unsaturated esters via activation of the silicon-carbon bond of α-trimethylsilylethylacetate using catalytic amounts of the commercially available P(i-PrNCH2CH2) 3N 1a. Selectivity for either of these two products can be achieved simply by altering the catalyst loading and reaction temperature to afford addition or stereoselective condensation. This method is mild and tolerates a wide array of functional groups.

The use of chiral BINAM NHC-Rh(III) complexes in enantioselective hydrosilylation of 3-oxo-3-arylpropionic acid methyl or ethyl esters

Axially chiral BINAM N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-Rh-(III) complexes were applied in the enantioselective hydrosilylation of 3-oxo-3-arylpropionic acid methyl or ethyl esters. The reduction products 3-hydroxy-3-arylpropionic acid methyl or ethyl esters could be obtained in good yields with good to excellent enantioselectivities under mild conditions.

Deracemisation of β-hydroxy esters using immobilised whole cells of Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330: substrate specificity and mechanistic investigation

Deracemisation of aryl substituted β-hydroxy esters by immobilised whole cells of Candida parapsilosis ATCC 7330 gave >99% ee and up to 75% yield of their corresponding (S)-enantiomers. Mechanistic investigation of the deracemisation reaction carried out using a deuterated substrate, ethyl 3-deutero-3-hydroxy-3-phenyl propanoate revealed that while the (S)-enantiomer remains unreacted the (R)-enantiomer undergoes enantioselective oxidation to its corresponding ketoester, which on complementary enantiospecific reduction gives the (S)-enantiomer in high yield and % ee.

PROCESS FOR PRODUCING FUSED IMIDAZOLE COMPOUND, REFORMATSKY REAGENT IN STABLE FORM, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE SAME

The present invention provides an industrially advantageous process for producing a steroid C17,20 lyase inhibitor represented by the general formula (I): and a Reformatsky reagent in a stable form suitable for the process.In the present invention, a compound represented by the general formula (I) is produced by reducing a specific β-hydroxy ester compound derivative or a salt thereof obtained from a specific carbonyl compound in a Reformatsky reaction in the presence of a metal hydride complex and a metal halide, and then subjecting it to a ring-closing reaction. In the above Reformatsky reaction, it is useful to use a stable solution of a compound represented by the general formula BrZnCH2COOC2H5 or a crystal of the compound which is represented by the formula (BrZnCH2COOC2H5·THF)2.

A practical method for the Reformatsky reaction of aldehydes

Reformaksky reaction of aliphatic aldehydes has been performed successfully by the addition of BF3·OEt2 to a stirred suspension of aldehyde, bromo ester and Zn dust in aqueous THF. For aromatic aldehydes, addition of benzoyl peroxide is also required to effect the reaction.
