An efficient and chemoselective methodology deploying gold-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes as catalysts in the hydrofluorination of terminal alkynes using aqueous HF has been developed. Mechanistic studies shed light on an in situ generated catalyst, formed by the reaction of Br?nsted basic gold pre-catalysts with HF in water, which exhibits the highest reactivity and chemoselectivity. The catalytic system has a wide alkyl substituted-substrate scope, and stoichiometric as well as catalytic reactions with tailor-designed gold pre-catalysts enable the identification of various gold species involved along the catalytic cycle. Computational studies aid in understanding the chemoselectivity observed through examination of key mechanistic steps for phosphine- and NHC-coordinated gold species bearing the triflate counterion and the elusive key complex bearing a bifluoride counterion.

Comprehensively characterized fluorescent probes for the histamine H3 receptor (H3R) and especially for the H4R orthologs [e.g., human (h) and mouse (m)] are highly needed as versatile complementary tools to radioligands. In view of fluorescent probes for BRET-based binding studies and for localizing the H4R in live cells, we synthesized and biologically characterized Py-5-labeled histamine derivatives. The most notable compound was UR-DEBa242 (26, 1-[4-(1H-Imidazol-4-yl)butyl]-4-{(1E,3E)-4-[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]buta-1,3-dienyl}-2,6-dimethylpyridinium hydrotrifluoroacetate trifluoroacetate), acting as a partial agonist at the hH3R [pEC50 (reporter gene) 8.77] and as an inverse agonist/antagonist at the h/mH4Rs [pIC50 (reporter gene) 8.76/7.08; pIC50/pKb (β-arrestin2) 7.81/7.30]. In confocal microscopy, 26 proved suitable for hH4R localization and trafficking studies in live cells. BRET-based binding at the NLuc-hH3,4Rs/mH4R [pKd 8.78/7.75/7.18, comparable to binding constants from radioligand binding/flow cytometry; fast association/dissociation (a?2 min)] revealed 26 as a useful molecular tool to determine hH3,4Rs/mH4R binding affinities of ligands binding to these receptors.

Cobaloxime (Co(dmgBF2)2·2H2O), an inexpensive first-row transition-metal complex, catalyzed hydration of terminal alkynes gave the corresponding methyl ketones in good to excellent yields under neutral conditions (additional protic acids and silver salts are not required). A wide range of functional groups, such as allyl ether, benzyl ethers, carboxylic esters, imides, amides, nitro, and halogens, were tolerated. The mild reaction conditions together with the inexpensive feature and easy availability of the catalyst well address the current challenges in the field of alkyne hydration.
