The formation of cyclopropanes from α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and diazo compounds has been a rather challenging goal due to the extremely reactive aldehyde starter. Herein, our group reports the first formation of ethyl 2-formyl-1-cyclopropanecarboxylate in 100% yield from the acid catalyzed reaction between acrolein and ethyl diazoacetate (EDA).

Fischer-type indolization of N-aryl-C-cyclopropyl hydrazones generated in situ followed by chemoselective reduction using tert-butyl iodide as an anhydrous HI generator was developed. This protocol provides indoles bearing carboxylic acid derivative units. A series of control experiments indicated the HI-mediated formation and reduction of spirocyclopropyl indolenines. Anhydrous HI functions as a Br?nsted acid as well as a reducing agent, facilitating the successful conversion of unstable reaction intermediates and iodinated mixtures in equilibrium.

Linkers are emerging as a key component in regulating the pharmacology of bitopic ligands directed toward G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). In this study, the role of regio- and stereochemistry in cyclic aliphatic linkers tethering well-characterized primary and secondary pharmacophores targeting dopamine D2 and D3 receptor subtypes (D2R and D3R, respectively) is described. We introduce several potent and selective D2R (rel-trans-16b; D2R Ki = 4.58 nM) and D3R (rel-cis-14a; D3R Ki = 5.72 nM) agonists while modulating subtype selectivity in a stereospecific fashion, transferring D2R selectivity toward D3R via inversion of the stereochemistry around these cyclic aliphatic linkers [e.g., (-)-(1S,2R)-43 and (+)-(1R,2S)-42]. Pharmacological observations were supported with extensive molecular docking studies. Thus, not only is it an innovative approach to modulate the pharmacology of dopaminergic ligands described, but a new class of optically active cyclic linkers are also introduced, which can be used to expand the bitopic drug design approach toward other GPCRs.

An unprecedented photo/NHC-co-catalyzed ring-opening C-C bond cleavage of cyclopropane enal and the following γ-alkylation with a halogenated compound via radicals were established, affording the corresponding γ-alkylated α,β-unsaturated esters in moderate to good yields.

New manganese dioxide-mediated tandem oxidation processes (TOPs) have been developed, which facilitate the direct conversion of allylic alcohols and α-hydroxyketones into polysubstituted functionalised cyclopropanes. In the simplest version, the oxidation of an allylic alcohol is carried out in the presence of a stabilised sulfurane, and the intermediate α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound undergoes in situ cyclopropanation. By using a combination of stabilised phosphorane and sulfurane, the direct conversion of allylic alcohols or α-hydroxyketones into functionalised cyclopropanes is achieved, with in situ cyclopropanation being followed by Wittig olefination, or vice versa. The application of these methods to a formal synthesis of the lignan (±)-picropodophyllone, and to novel analogues of the insecticide allethrin II, is described.
Tandem oxidation processes for the preparation of functionalized cyclopropanes

(Chemical Equation Presented) A novel manganese dioxide-mediated tandem oxidation process (TOP) has been developed which allows the direct conversion of allylic alcohols into cyclopropanes, the intermediate aldehydes being trapped in situ with a stabilized sulfur-ylide. This methodology has been applied successfully to a variety of allylic alcohols and to a formal synthesis of the simple, naturally occurring lignan, (±)-picropodophyllone.
