A versatile method for the hydromethylation and hydroalkylation of alkenes at room temperature is achieved by using the photooxidative redox capacity of the valence band of anatase titanium dioxide (TiO2). Mechanistic studies support a radical-based mechanism involving the photoexcitation of TiO2 with 390 nm light in the presence of acetic acid and other carboxylic acids to generate methyl and alkyl radicals, respectively, without the need for stoichiometric base. This protocol is accepting of a broad scope of alkene and carboxylic acids, including challenging ones that produce highly reactive primary alkyl radicals and those containing functional groups that are susceptible to nucleophilic substitution such as alkyl halides. This methodology highlights the utility of using heterogeneous semiconductor photocatalysts such as TiO2 for promoting challenging organic syntheses that rely on highly reactive intermediates.

AR-42 is an orally active inhibitor of histone deacetylases (HDACs) in clinical trials for multiple myeloma, leukemia, and lymphoma. It has few hydrogen bond donors and acceptors but is a chiral 2-arylbutyrate and potentially prone to racemization. We report achiral AR-42 analogues incorporating a cycloalkyl group linked via a quaternary carbon atom, with up to 40-fold increased potency against human class I HDACs (e.g., JT86, IC50 0.7 nM, HDAC1), 25-fold increased cytotoxicity against five human cancer cell lines, and up to 70-fold less toxicity in normal human cells. JT86 was ninefold more potent than racAR-42 in promoting accumulation of acetylated histone H4 in MM96L melanoma cells. Molecular modeling and structure-activity relationships support binding to HDAC1 with tetrahydropyran acting as a hydrophobic shield from water at the enzyme surface. Such potent inhibitors of class I HDACs may show benefits in diseases (cancers, parasitic infections, inflammatory conditions) where AR-42 is active.
Impact of variation of the acyl group on the efficiency and selectivity of the lipase-mediated resolution of 2-phenylalkanols
Foley, Aoife M.,Gavin, Declan P.,Joniec, Ilona,Maguire, Anita R.
, p. 1144 - 1153 (2017/09/15)
By tuning the steric properties of the acyl group to control the efficiency and selectivity of the resolution, 2-phenyl-1-propanol 1a was prepared by lipase-catalysed hydrolysis using a short-chain acyl group, with E-values of up to 66 (ee up to 95%). 2-Phenylbutan-1-ol 1b was similarly resolved (up to 86% ee) using the optimised conditions, while the ester of the more sterically demanding 3-methyl-2-phenylbutan-1-ol 1c proved resistant to enzymatic hydrolysis under these conditions.

Malmedy, Florence,Wirth, Thomas
supporting information, p. 16072 - 16077 (2016/10/30)
The first stereoselective version of an iodine(III)-mediated rearrangement of arylketones in the presence of orthoesters is described. The reaction products, α-arylated esters, are very useful intermediates in the synthesis of bioactive compounds such as ibuprofen. With chiral lactic acid-based iodine(III) reagents product selectivities of up to 73 % ee have been achieved.
Continuous in situ electrogenaration of a 2-pyrrolidone anion in a microreactor: application to highly efficient monoalkylation of methyl phenylacetate
Matsumura, Yoshimasa,Kakizaki, Yoshinobu,Tateno, Hiroyuki,Kashiwagi, Tsuneo,Yamaji, Yoshiyuki,Atobe, Mahito
, p. 96851 - 96854 (2015/11/24)
We have successfully demonstrated effective generation of an electrogenerated base (EGB) such as the 2-pyrrolidone anion and its rapid use for the following alkylation reaction in a flow microreactor system without the need for severe reaction conditions. The key feature of the method is effective and selective preparation of monoalkylated products.
Synthesis of α-aryl esters and nitriles: Deaminative coupling of α-aminoesters and α-aminoacetonitriles with arylboronic acids
Wu, Guojiao,Deng, Yifan,Wu, Chaoqiang,Zhang, Yan,Wang, Jianbo
supporting information, p. 10510 - 10514 (2016/02/18)
Transition-metal-free synthesis of α-aryl esters and nitriles using arylboronic acids with α-aminoesters and α-aminoacetonitriles, respectively, as the starting materials has been developed. The reaction represents a rare case of converting C(sp3)-N bonds into C(sp3)-C(sp2) bonds. The reaction conditions are mild, demonstrate good functional-group tolerance, and can be scaled up. Touch base: A transition-metal-free protocol for the synthesis of α-aryl esters and nitriles by deaminative coupling is presented. Strong bases and transition-metal catalysts are not needed. The new synthetic method uses readily available starting materials and demonstrates wide substrate scope.

Syntheses of 3,3-and 4,4-alkyl-phenyl-substituted pyrrolidin-2-one derivatives are described. The final compounds were obtained by the reductive cyclization of relevant cyanoalkanoate esters using NaBH4 and CoCl2.6H2O. The obtained pyrroIidin-2-one derivatives are pharmacophoric fragments for the synthesis of various biologically active compounds.
Oxidative rearrangements of arylalkanones with 1H-1-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,2,3-benziodoxathiole 3,3-dioxide, a 'green' analog of Koser's reagent
Justik, Michael W.
, p. 3003 - 3007 (2008/02/06)
Previous methods for the conversion of arylalkanones to alkyl 2-arylesters by oxidative rearrangement utilized reagents which either produced toxic metal salts or halogenated organics as by-products. In this report, 1H-1-hydroxy-5-methyl-1,2,3-benziodoxathiole 3,3-dioxide (HMBI) is used to effect this useful transformation, where the reduced iodine reagent is water-soluble and readily recycled.
