The naphthyl analogue of retinal (2) combines with bacterio-opsin to produce an artificial pigment absorbing at λmax 504 nm; this suggest that in the native pigment, all-trans-retinal may be held around the 6,7-bond in a planar ring-chain conformation.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) remains one of the most lethal cancers worldwide. Sigma receptors (SRs) have been proposed as cancer therapeutic targets. Their main localization suggests they play a potential role in ER stress and in the triggering of the unfolded protein response (UPR). Here, we investigated the mechanisms of action of RC-106, a novel pan-SR modulator, to characterize therapeutically exploitable role of SRs in tumors. Two PC cell lines were used in all the experiments. Terminal UPR activation was evaluated by quantifying BiP, ATF4 and CHOP by Real-Time qRT-PCR, Western Blot, immunofluorescence and confocal microscopy. Cell death was studied by flow cytometry. Post-transcriptional gene silencing was performed to study the interactions between SRs and UPR key proteins. RC-106 activated ER stress sensors in a dose-and time-dependent manner. It also induced ROS production accordingly with ATF4 upregulation at the same time reducing cell viability of both cell lines tested. Moreover, RC-106 exerted its effect through the induction of the terminal UPR, as shown by the activation of some of the main transducers of this pathway. Post-transcriptional silencing studies confirmed the connection between SRs and these key proteins. Overall, our data highlighted a key role of SRs in the activation of the terminal UPR pathway, thus indicating pan-SR ligands as candidates for targeting the UPR in pancreatic cancer.

Photoinduced electron-transfer reactions of 3-(2-naphthyl)-2-butenyl acetate gave the reduced products, while the electrochemical and Birch reduction of the acetate furnished (E)-2-(2-naphthyl)-2-butene as the sole product.One-electron reduction was suggested by mechanistic studies of the photoreaction on the basis of deuterium incorporation into the products.A similar mechanism can operate in the photoreduction of cinnamyl acetate.

Catalytic generation of ambiphilic π-allyl-metal complexes and their utility in enantioselective transformations constitutes a powerful approach for introduction of allyl groups to a molecule. Herein an unprecedented cobalt-catalyzed highly site-, diastereo-, and enantioselective protocol for stereoselective formation of nucleophilic allyl-Co(II) complexes followed by addition to aldehydes is presented. The reaction features diastereo- and enantioconvergent conversion of easily accessible allylic alcohol derivatives to diversified enantioenriched homoallylic alcohols with a remarkably broad scope of allyl groups that can be introduced. Mechanistic studies indicated that allyl radical intermediates were involved in this process. These new discoveries establish a new strategy for development of enantioselective transformations through capture of radicals by chiral Co complexes, pushing forward the frontier of Co complexes for enantioselective catalysis.

Herein, a series of new 8-OIQ cobalt complexes were synthesized and used for cobalt-catalyzed chemo- and enantioselective 1,4-hydroboration of enones with HBpin to access chiral β,β-disubstituted ketones with good to excellent chemo- and enantioselectivties. This protocol is operationally simple and shows a broad substrate scope.

A photocatalytic E to Z isomerization of alkenes using an iridium photosensitizer under mild reaction conditions is disclosed. This method provides scalable and efficient access to Z-cinnamyl ether and allylic alcohol derivatives in high yields with excellent stereoselectivity. Importantly, this method also provides a powerful strategy for the selective synthesis of Z-magnolol and honokiol derivatives possessing potential biological activity.

We report herein an unprecedented protocol for radical cyclization of aldehydes with pendant alkenes via synergistic photoredox, cobaloxime, and amine catalysis. The transformation was achieved in the absence of external oxidants, providing a variety of 5-, 6-, and 7-membered ring products with alkene transposition in satisfactory yields. The reaction exhibits wide functional group compatibility and occurs under mild conditions with extrusion of H2.

A carbene-catalyzed oxidative cycloaddition reaction is developed for efficient access to multi-functionalized 2-phenylbenzothiazoles. A broad scope of heavily substituted arenes bearing 2-benzothiazole groups have been prepared in good to excellent yields. The remote C(sp2)–H bond in the substituted arene products can be activated by Pd catalysts in regio-selective fashion with the direction of the 2-benzothiazole groups.

Chiral phosphoric-acid-catalyzed asymmetric reductions of trans-chalcones have been investigated in this work. A BINOL-derived boro-phosphate-catalyzed asymmetric transfer hydrogenation of the carbon-carbon double bond of trans-chalcone derivatives employing borane as a hydride source was realized. This methodology provides a convenient procedure to access chiral dihydrochalone derivatives in high yields and with high enantioselectivities under mild conditions.
