Functionalization of Piperidine Derivatives for the Site-Selective and Stereoselective Synthesis of Positional Analogues of Methylphenidate

Rhodium-catalyzed C?H insertions and cyclopropanations of donor/acceptor carbenes have been used for the synthesis of positional analogues of methylphenidate. The site selectivity is controlled by the catalyst and the amine protecting group. C?H functionalization of N-Boc-piperidine using Rh2(R-TCPTAD)4, or N-brosyl-piperidine using Rh2(R-TPPTTL)4 generated 2-substitited analogues. In contrast, when N-α-oxoarylacetyl-piperidines were used in combination with Rh2(S-2-Cl-5-BrTPCP)4, the C?H functionalization produced 4-susbstiuted analogues. Finally, the 3-substituted analogues were prepared indirectly by cyclopropanation of N-Boc-tetrahydropyridine followed by reductive regio- and stereoselective ring-opening of the cyclopropanes.

Synthesis and structure-antifungal activity relationships of 3-aryl-5-alkyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ones and their carbanalogues: Further refinement of tentative pharmacophore group

Two series of 3-(substituted phenyl)-5-alkyl-2,5-dihydrofuran-2-ones related to a natural product, (-)incrustoporine, were synthesized and their in vitro antifungal activity evaluated. The compounds with halogen substituents on the phenyl ring exhibited selective antifungal activity against the filamentous strains of Absidia corymbifera and Aspergillus fumigatus. On the other hand, the influence of the lenghth of the alkyl chain at C(5) was marginal. The antifungal effect of the most active compound against the above strains was higher than that of ketoconazole, and close to that of amphotericin B. In order to verify the hypothesis about a possible relationship between the Michael-accepting ability of the compounds and their antifungal activity, a series of simple carbanalogues, 2-(substituted phenyl)cyclopent-2-enones, was prepared and subjected to antifungal activity assay as well.
