An environmentally benign, cost-efficient and practical methodology for the room temperature synthesis of 2-arylacetophenones in water has been discovered. The facile and efficient transformation involves the oxidative radical addition of arylhydrazines with α-aryl vinyl azides in the presence of H2O2 (as a radical initiator) and PEG-800 (as a phase-transfer catalyst). From the viewpoint of green chemistry and organic synthesis, the present protocol is of great significance because of using cheap, non-toxic and readily available starting materials and reagents as well as amenability to gram-scale synthesis, which provides an attractive strategy to access 2-arylacetophenones.

The retinoid X receptors (RXR) are ligand-activated transcription factors involved in multiple regulatory networks as universal heterodimer partners for nuclear receptors. Despite their high therapeutic potential in many pathologies, targeting of RXR has only been exploited in cancer treatment as the currently available RXR agonists suffer from exceptional lipophilicity, poor pharmacokinetics (PK), and adverse effects. Aiming to overcome the limitations and to provide improved RXR ligands, we developed a new potent RXR ligand chemotype based on the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug oxaprozin. Systematic structure-activity relationship analysis enabled structural optimization toward low nanomolar potency similar to the well-established rexinoids. Cocrystal structures of the most active derivatives demonstrated orthosteric binding, and in vivo profiling revealed superior PK properties compared to current RXR agonists. The optimized compounds were highly selective for RXR activation and induced RXR-regulated gene expression in native cellular and in vivo settings suggesting them as excellent chemical tools to further explore the therapeutic potential of RXR.

Preparation of α-aryl acetophenones from styryl ethers and aryldiazonium salts is described. The reaction is catalyzed by palladium acetate at room temperature in the absence of ligand and base. The developed method is highly attractive in terms of reaction conditions, substrate scope, functional group tolerance and yields. Synthetic applications of the present method are demonstrated by preparing α-aryl indoles and 3-aryl isocoumarin from styryl ethers.

The emerging pharmacological target soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is a bifunctional enzyme exhibiting two different catalytic activities that are located in two distinct domains. Although the physiological role of the C-terminal hydrolase domain is well-investigated, little is known about its phosphatase activity, located in the N-terminal phosphatase domain of sEH (sEH-P). Herein we report the discovery and optimization of the first inhibitor of human and rat sEH-P that is applicable in vivo. X-ray structure analysis of the sEH phosphatase domain complexed with an inhibitor provides insights in the molecular basis of small-molecule sEH-P inhibition and helps to rationalize the structure-activity relationships. 4-(4-(3,4-Dichlorophenyl)-5-phenyloxazol-2-yl)butanoic acid (22b, SWE101) has an excellent pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile in rats and enables the investigation of the physiological and pathophysiological role of sEH-P in vivo.

, p. 844 - 848 (2019/01/30)
An efficient and user-friendly palladium(II) precatalyst, POxAP (post-oxidative-addition precatalyst), was identified for use in Fukuyama cross-coupling reactions. Suitable for storage under air, the POxAP precatalyst allowed reaction between thioesters and organozinc reagents with turnover numbers of ～90000. A series of 23 ketones were obtained with yields ranging from 53 to 99%. As proof of efficacy, an alternative approach was developed for the synthesis of a key precursor of the natural product isoprekinamycin.

A direct and efficient synthesis of arylketones via arylboronic acid addition to nitriles in presence of inexpensive Mn/Cu catalytic system is reported. The use of non-precious Mn and Cu salts has been found to be highly advantageous both in terms of accessibility as well as cost effectiveness. A series of arylboronic acids as well as nitriles were used to synthesize a variety of symmetrical and unsymmetrical arylketones. Based on the literature studies, the reaction mechanism is anticipated to go through an aryl radical intermediate which reacted with the copper activated nitrile to give the desired arylketones after the hydrolysis of the imine intermediate.
Coupling of Sulfoxonium Ylides with Arynes: A Direct Synthesis of Pro-Chiral Aryl Ketosulfoxonium Ylides and Its Application in the Preparation of α-Aryl Ketones

, p. 7206 - 7211 (2018/11/23)
A general, mild, and versatile synthesis of the challenging α-aryl-β-ketosulfoxonium ylides has been developed for the first time, substituting traditional methods starting from diazo compounds. The arylation of easily accessible β-ketosulfoxonium ylides using aryne chemistry allowed the preparation of a large scope of the pro-chiral ylides in very good yields (40 examples; up to 85%). As applications, these ylides were smoothly converted into α-aryl ketones after desulfurization in good yields (up to 98%) as well as in other important derivatives.

A green and cost-effective method has been developed for the conversion of alkenes to ketones under metal-free conditions. The reaction involves the oxidative addition of alkenes with aryl radicals, which are generated by visible-light induced aerobic oxidation of arylhydrazines.

A conceptually new dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) based oxidation process without the use of any activator has been demonstrated for the oxidation of active methylenes and benzhydrols. The developed protocol utilizes the electrophilic center of DMSO for oxidation, which was unexplored before. Mechanistic investigation has confirmed that the source of oxygen is DMSO.
