An efficient and simple strategy toward the synthesis of highly functionalized compounds

The expedient syntheses of small libraries of ((β-ethoxycarbonyl, -cyano and -acetyl)propyloxy) methylphosphonate scaffolds bearing olefin, sulfanyl, or amine functions are described. All these new derivatives are readily produced from easily available starting reagents (aldehydes, electron-poor olefins, and dialkylphosphites) following a three steps reaction sequence of condensations, SN2′-type reaction and a conjugated thia- or aza-Michael 1,4-addition with aromatic and aliphatic thiol or amine nucleophiles.

Substrate Profiling of the Cobalt Nitrile Hydratase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC BAA 870

The aromatic substrate profile of the cobalt nitrile hydratase from Rhodococcus rhodochrous ATCC BAA 870 was evaluated against a wide range of nitrile containing compounds (>60). To determine the substrate limits of this enzyme, compounds ranging in size from small (90 Da) to large (325 Da) were evaluated. Larger compounds included those with a biaryl axis, prepared by the Suzuki coupling reaction, Morita–Baylis–Hillman adducts, heteroatomlinked diarylpyridines prepared by Buchwald–Hartwig crosscoupling reactions and imidazo[1,2a]pyridines prepared by the Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé multicomponent reaction. The enzyme active site was moderately accommodating, accepting almost all of the small aromatic nitriles, the diarylpyridines and most of the biaryl compounds and Morita–Baylis–Hillman products but not the Groebke–Blackburn–Bienaymé products. Nitrile conversion was influenced by steric hindrance around the cyano group, the presence of electron donating groups (e.g., methoxy) on the aromatic ring, and the overall size of the compound.

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of 4-H pyran derivatives as antimicrobial and anticancer agents

A series of pyran derivatives (5–27) were synthesized in good yields by utilizing Baylis–Hillman chemistry and were further investigated for their in vitro anticancer, antibacterial, and antifungal activities. Most of the tested compounds exhibited promis

Electrophilic warhead-based design of compounds preventing NLRP3 inflammasome-dependent pyroptosis

Pyroptosis is a caspase-1-dependent pro-inflammatory form of programmed cell death implicated in the pathogenesis of autoinflammatory diseases as well as in disorders characterized by excessive cell death and inflammation. Activation of NLRP3 inflammasome

Palladium-catalyzed arylic/allylic aminations: Permutable domino sequences for the synthesis of dihydroquinolines from morita-baylis-hillman adducts

An efficient palladium-catalyzed synthesis of 1,2-dihydroquinolines has been developed via the reaction between anilines and Morita-Baylis-Hillman adducts derived from o-bromobenzaldehyde. This new Pd(0)-catalyzed pseudo-domino type I sequence involves a Buchwald-Hartwig arylic amination and an allylic amination. When starting from an o-bromo allylic alcohol, the chronology is arylic amination/allylic arylation. However, the sequence reverses when the reaction is performed on the corresponding o-bromo allylic acetate.

Palladium-catalyzed carbonylative cyclization of Baylis-Hillman adducts. An efficient approach for the stereoselective synthesis of 3-alkenyl phthalides

A palladium-mediated carbonylative cyclization reaction of Baylis-Hillman adducts is disclosed. This simple, efficient and straightforward sequence leads to the formation of an array of 3-alkenylphthalides with different substitution patterns on the aromatic ring, with good chemical yields and selectivities.
