A transition-metal-free method for the alkylation of gem-diborylalkanes with α,β-unsaturated ketones has been developed. It is demonstrated that the α-boryl radicals can be generated efficiently from gem-diborylalkanes with the aid of catechol and oxidants. The α-boryl radicals formed through such process can be engaged in conjugate addition reaction with α,β-unsaturated ketones. This transformation is a straightforward method for the synthesis of γ-borylketones.

A copper-catalyzed asymmetric hydrosilylation of β-nitroethyl aryl ketones has been disclosed, and the corresponding chiral alcohols could be obtained in high yields (up to 99% yield) and excellent enantioselectivities (up to 96% ee). Moreover, the reaction worked well on a gram scale with 0.3 mol % of ligand loading, indicating that our protocol has potential applications in the synthesis of important pharmaceuticals such as Tranylcypromine and Ticagrelor.

An organo-catalyzed enantioselective addition of selenosulfonates to α,β-unsaturated ketones was developed for the first time. With a chiral squaramide as an efficient catalyst, the desired α-selenylated ketones were obtained in a good yields with high enantioselectivity up to 89% ee, and good results could be obtained on a gram scale. The products could also be efficiently transformed into useful building blocks with a propenylic stereocenter; the strategy presented in this study may find further applications in organic synthesis.

, p. 10898 - 10907 (2018/09/06)
An efficient chromium(III) chloride-catalyzed Michael-type reaction of water or alcohol with α,β-unsaturated ketones is developed. A variety of α,β-unsaturated ketones effectively reacted with either water or alcohols to give the corresponding β-hydroxyl ketones or β-alkoxyl ketones in modest to high yields with excellent compatibility to various functional groups. The approach was further utilized for the preparation of synthetically useful compounds containing tetrahydrofuran skeleton.

Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) is a key protein responsible for cancer's Warburg effect. Activation of PKM2 may alter aberrant metabolism in cancer cells, which suggests PKM2 as a tumor selective therapeutic target. In this paper, the lead compound 8 was first discovered as a new kind of PKM2 activator from a random screening of an in-house compound library. Then, a series of lead compound 8 analogs were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their activation of PKM2 and anticancer activities. 7-Azaindole analog 32 was identified as the most potent PKM2 activator. Compounds with potent enzyme activity also exhibited selective anti-proliferation activity on cancer cell lines HCT116, Hela and H1299 compared with non-tumor cell line BEAS-2B. The structure-activity relationships of these compounds were supported by molecular docking results. Preliminary pharmacological studies also showed that compound 32 arrests the cell cycle at the G2/M phase in HCT116 cell line.
Enantioselective synthesis of 3-substituted 1,2-oxazinanes via organocatalytic intramolecular aza-Michael addition
Cheng, Shuanghua,Yu, Shouyun
, p. 8607 - 8610 (2014/12/10)
A highly enantioselective intramolecular 6-exo-trig aza-Michael addition was developed to afford chiral 3-substituted 1,2-oxazinanes in high yields (up to 99% yield) and good enantioselectivities (up to 98/2 er). These reactions were enabled by a quinine-derived primary-tertiary diamine as a catalyst and pentafluoropropionic acid (PFP) as a co-catalyst.

The scope of the novel ruthenium-catalyzed tandem cross-metathesis/ intramolecular-hydroarylation sequence is described. This methodology offers a practical and efficient synthesis of structurally diverse and complex tetrahydrocarbazoles in good to excellent yields (up to 98%). Moreover, preliminary efforts towards the development of an enantioselective version of the current process by sequential catalysis with ruthenium complex and chiral amine are presented, with high yields and enantioselectivities (up to 88% yield and 91% ee).

, p. 471 - 479 (2007/10/02)
A flexible synthetic route leading via indan-1-ones to variously methylated and oxygenated isocoumarins is described.The indanones are prepared by alternative routes involving intramolecular Friedel-Crafts cyclisation of arylpropionic acids or pericyclic ring closure of acrylophenones.The influence of substitution on the rate of the pericyclic reaction is assessed.
