Abstract
Resolvins D3 and E1 are important signaling molecules in the resolution of inflammation. Here, we report a convergent and flexible strategy to prepare these natural products using Hiyama-Denmark coupling of five- and six-membered cyclic alkenylsiloxanes to connect three resolvin fragments, and control the stereochemistry of the natural product (Z)-alkenes. The modular nature of this approach enables the synthesis of novel resolvin hybrids, opening up opportunities for more-extensive investigations of resolvin biology.

Abstract
Cyclic dimethylalkenylsiloxanes, useful motifs for (Z)-selective Hiyama cross-coupling, are accessed from alkynyl benzyldimethylsilanes featuring adjacent allylic or homoallylic oxygen substituents by semihydrogenation/debenzylation/cyclization. While formation of 5- and 6-membered rings can be achieved from the free alcohols using fluoride or silanolate, allylic acetate precursors to 5-membered rings display distinct modes of activation. The utility of these compounds is demonstrated through the preparation of a variety of (Z)-alkene-containing polyenes and application to a concise total synthesis of leukotriene B3.

Abstract
![]()
Discovery
of the potent antileishmanial effects of antitubercular
6-nitro-2,3-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazoles and
7-substituted 2-nitro-5,6-dihydroimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazines
stimulated the examination of further scaffolds (e.g., 2-nitro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydroimidazo[2,1-b][1,3]oxazepines), but the results for these seemed less
attractive. Following the screening of a 900-compound pretomanid analogue
library, several hits with more suitable potency, solubility, and
microsomal stability were identified, and the superior efficacy of
newly synthesized 6R enantiomers with phenylpyridine-based
side chains was established through head-to-head assessments in a Leishmania donovani mouse model. Two such leads (R-84 and R-89) displayed promising activity in the more stringent Leishmania
infantum hamster model but were unexpectedly found to be
potent inhibitors of hERG. An extensive structure–activity
relationship investigation pinpointed two compounds (R-6 and pyridine R-136)
with better solubility and pharmacokinetic properties that also provided
excellent oral efficacy in the same hamster model (>97% parasite
clearance
at 25 mg/kg, twice daily) and exhibited minimal hERG inhibition. Additional
profiling earmarked R-6 as the favored
backup development candidate.

Abstract
Several Hiyama cross-coupling reactions of oxasilacycloalkenes and aryl iodides are described that produce trisubstituted Z-styrenes in moderate to excellent yields. Both electron-rich and electron-poor aryl iodides are tolerated in the cross-coupling reaction. The oxasilacycloalkene coupling partners were prepared by ruthenium-catalyzed intramolecular anti-hydrosilylation of alkynols. One of the cross-coupling products was converted to a 1-benzoxocane, albeit in low yield, using an intramolecular Buchwald–Hartwig etherification. The cyclic ether produced contains the carbon skeleton of heliannuol A.
