Palladium-Catalyzed Domino Cyclization/Phosphorylation of gem-Dibromoolefins with P(O)H Compounds: Synthesis of Phosphorylated Heteroaromatics

We presented a palladium-catalyzed domino cyclization/phosphorylation of gem-dibromoolefins, which utilize H-phosphinates and secondary phosphine oxides as the phosphine sources, respectively. A variety of phosphorylated heteroaromatics were obtained in m

A highly selective tandem cross-coupling of gem-dihaloolefins for a modular, efficient synthesis of highly functionalized indoles

(Chemical Equation Presented) A highly efficient method of indole synthesis using gem-dihalovinylaniline substrates and an organoboron reagent was developed via a Pd-catalyzed tandem intramolecular amination and an intermolecular Suzuki coupling. Aryl, alkenyl, and alkyl boron reagents are all successfully employed, making for a versatile modular approach. The reaction tolerates a variety of substitution patterns on the aniline leading to indoles with group at C2-C7. The orthogonal approach of the sequential copper- and palladium-mediated synthesis of 1,2-diarylindoles exploited the wide availability of diverse organoboron reagents.

Discovery and structure-activity relationship studies of indole derivatives as liver X receptor (LXR) agonists

A structurally novel liver X receptor (LXR) agonist (1) was identified from internal compound collection utilizing the combination of structure-based virtual screening and high-throughput gene profiling. Compound 1 increased ABCA1 gene expression by eightfold and SREBP1c by threefold in differentiated THP-1 macrophage cell lines. Confirmation of its agonistic activity against LXR was obtained in the co-factor recruitment and reporter transactivation assays. Structure-activity relationship studies on compound 1 are described.

Pd-catalyzed tandem C-N/C-C coupling of gem-dihalovinyl systems: A modular synthesis of 2-substituted indoles

(Chemical Equation Presented) 2-Substituted indoles were synthesized via a Pd-catalyzed tandem C-N/Suzuki-Miyaura coupling from readily prepared ortho-gem-dihalovinylanilines. Optimal conditions used a Pd(OAc) 2/S-Phos catalyst in the presence of K3PO 4·H2O and an organoboron reagent, which included boronic acids, esters, alkyl 9-BBN derivatives, and trialkylboranes. Yields of the desired indoles were good to excellent using low catalyst loadings (typically 1 mol %).
