Hydrogenation of carboxylic acids (CAs) to alcohols represents one of the most ideal reduction methods for utilizing abundant CAs as alternative carbon and energy sources. However, systematic studies on the effects of metal-to-ligand relationships on the catalytic activity of metal complex catalysts are scarce. We previously demonstrated a rational methodology for CA hydrogenation, in which CA-derived cationic metal carboxylate [(PP)M(OCOR)]+ (M = Ru and Re; P = one P coordination) served as the catalyst prototype for CA self-induced CA hydrogenation. Herein, we report systematic trial- and-error studies on how we could achieve higher catalytic activity by modifying the structure of bidentate diphosphine (PP) ligands of molecular Ru catalysts. Carbon chains connecting two P atoms as well as Ar groups substituted on the P atoms of PP ligands were intensively varied, and the induction of active Ru catalysts from precatalyst Ru(acac)3 was surveyed extensively. As a result, the activity and durability of the (PP)Ru catalyst substantially increased compared to those of other molecular Ru catalyst systems, including our original Ru catalysts. The results validate our approach for improving the catalyst performance, which would benefit further advancement of CA self-induced CA hydrogenation.

Despite the broad implications of the cannabinoid type 2 receptor (CB2) in neuroinflammatory processes, a suitable CB2-targeted probe is currently lacking in clinical routine. In this work, we synthesized 15 fluorinated pyridine derivatives and tested their binding affinities toward CB2 and CB1. With a sub-nanomolar affinity (Ki for CB2) of 0.8 nM and a remarkable selectivity factor of >12,000 over CB1, RoSMA-18-d6 exhibited outstanding in vitro performance characteristics and was radiofluorinated with an average radiochemical yield of 10.6 ± 3.8% (n = 16) and molar activities ranging from 52 to 65 GBq/μmol (radiochemical purity > 99%). [18F]RoSMA-18-d6 showed exceptional CB2 attributes as demonstrated by in vitro autoradiography, ex vivo biodistribution, and positron emission tomography (PET). Further, [18F]RoSMA-18-d6 was used to detect CB2 upregulation on postmortem human ALS spinal cord tissues. Overall, these results suggest that [18F]RoSMA-18-d6 is a promising CB2 PET radioligand for clinical translation.

The first peptide nucleic acid (PNA) with a cyclopropane in the backbone has been synthesized, and the effects of the ring on DNA/RNA binding properties of the PNA have been examined. Well-defined triplex to duplex melting transitions of PNA2 DNA complexes is clearly observed by variable temperature UV absorbance with the cyclopropane-constrained PNA.

Callipeltoside A: Total synthesis, assignment of the absolute and relative configuration, and evaluation of synthetic analogues

The total synthesis of the novel antitumor agent callipeltoside A, as well as several analogues, is accomplished and allows assignment of the stereochemistry not previously established. A convergent strategy is employed wherein the target is dissected into three units - the core macrolactone, the sugar callipeltose, and a cyclopropyl bearing chain. The strategy for the synthesis of the macrolactone derives from employment of diastereoselective aldol reactions that emanate from an 11 carbon piece. The stereochemistry of the latter derives from the chiral pool and two asymmetric reactions - a ketone reduction using CBS-oxazaborolidine and a Pd catalyzed asymmetric allylic alkylation (AAA). The novelty of the latter protocol is its control of regioselectivity as well as absolute configuration. The trisubstituted olefin is generated using an alkene-alkyne coupling to create a trisubustituted olefin with complete control of geometry. The excellent chemo- and regioselectivity highlights the synthetic potential of this new ruthenium catalyzed process. The macrolactonization employs in situ formation of an acylketene generated by the thermolysis of a m-dioxolenone. Two strategies evolved for attachment of the side chain-one based upon olefination and a second upon olefin metathesis. The higher efficiency of the latter makes it the method of choice. A novel one pot olefin metathesis-Takai olefination protocol that should be broadly applicable is developed. The sugar is attached by a glycosylation by employing the O-trichloroacetimidate. This route provided both C-13 epimers of the macrolactone by using either enantiomeric ligand in the Pd AAA reaction. It also provided both trans-chlorocyclopropane diastereomers of callipeltoside A which allows the C-20 and C-21 configuration to be established as S and R, respectively. The convergent nature of the synthesis in which the largest piece, the macrolatone, require only 16 linear steps imparts utility to this strategy for the establishment of the structure-activity relationship. Initial biological testing demonstrates the irrelevance of the chloro substituent and the necessity of the sugar.
Photodecarbonylation of chiral cyclobutanones

Triplet photosensitized irradiation of 2(S),3(R)-bis[(benzoyloxy)methyl]cyclobutanone gave optically pure (-)E-1(S),2(S)-bis(benzoyloxymethyl)cyclopropaneas a major product in the nonpolar fraction along with its stereoisomer and cycloelimination products. The absolute stereochemistry of the chiral cyclopropane was established by independent synthesis and X-ray crystal structure determination of a synthetic precursor. The distribution of decarbonylation and cycloelimination products was inversely dependent on the concentration of the substrate. Irradiation of the same ketone in tetrahydrofuran or benzene gave mostly cycloelimination products. Addition of Michler's ketone increased the ratio of photodecarbonylation, suggesting a triplet state pathway for this process. This was corroborated by the addition of dicyanoethylene, which showed significant quenching of photodecarbonylation. Irradiation of 2(S)-[(benzoyloxy)methyl]cyclobutane in acetone gave the corresponding cyclopropane as the principal product.
