We report a dehydroboration process that can be coupled with chain-walking hydroboration to create a one-pot, contra-thermodynamic, short-or long-range isomerization of internal olefins to terminal olefins. This dehydroboration occurs by a sequence comprising activation with a nucleophile, iodination, and base-promoted elimination. The isomerization proceeds at room temperature without the need for a fluoride base, and the substrate scope of this isomerization is expanded over those of previous isomerizations we have reported with silanes.

Introduction: Several lines of evidence suggest that 7α-substituted estradiol derivatives bind to the estrogen receptor (ER). In line with this hypothesis, we designed and synthesized 18F-labeled 7α-fluoroalkylestradiol (Cn-7α-[18F]FES) derivatives as molecular probes for visualizing ERs. Previously, we successfully synthesized 7α-(3-[18F]fluoropropyl)estradiol (C3-7α-[18F]FES) and showed promising results for quantification of ER density in vivo, although extensive metabolism was observed in rodents. Therefore, optimization of the alkyl side chain length is needed to obtain suitable radioligands based on Cn-7α-substituted estradiol pharmacophores. Methods: We synthesized fluoromethyl (23; C1-7α-[18F]FES) to fluorohexyl (26; C6-7α-[18F]FES) derivatives, except fluoropropyl (C3-7α-[18F]FES) and fluoropentyl derivatives (C5-7α-[18F]FES), which have been previously synthesized. In vitro binding to the α-subtype (ERα) isoform of ERs and in vivo biodistribution studies in mature female mice were carried out. Results: The in vitro IC50 value of Cn-7α-FES tended to gradually decrease depending on the alkyl side chain length. C1-7α-[18F]FES (23) showed the highest uptake in ER-rich tissues such as the uterus. Uterus uptake also gradually decreased depending on the alkyl side chain length. As a result, in vivo uterus uptake reflected the in vitro ERα affinity of each compound. Bone uptake, which indicates de-fluorination, was marked in 7α-(2-[18F]fluoroethyl)estradiol (C2-7α-[18F]FES) (24) and 7α-(4-[18F]fluorobutyl)estradiol (C4-7α-[18F]FES) (25) derivatives. However, C1-7α-[18F]FES (23) and C6-7α-[18F]FES (26) showed limited uptake in bone. As a result, in vivo bone uptake (de-fluorination) showed a bell-shaped pattern, depending on the alkyl side chain length. C1-7α-[18F]FES (23) showed the same levels of uptake in uterus and bone compared with those of 16α-[18F]fluoro-17β-estradiol. Conclusions: The optimal alkyl side chain length of 18F-labeled 7α-fluoroalkylestradiol was the shortest: C1-7α-[18F]FES. Our results indicate that shorter chain lengths within the 4-? ligand binding cavities of ERα are suitable for 7α-fluoroalkylestradiol derivatives.

Herein we report a one-pot deoxygenation protocol for primary and secondary alcohols developed via the combination of the Garegg-Samuelsson reaction, visible light-photoredox catalysis, and flow chemistry. This procedure is characterized by mild reaction conditions, easy-to-handle reactants and reagents, excellent functional group tolerance, and good yields.
