Abstract
Because of their robustness and orthogonal reactivity features, alkyl germanes bear significant potential as functional handles for the construction of C(sp3)-rich scaffolds, especially in the context of modular synthetic approaches. However, to date, only radical-based reactivity has been accessible from these functional handles, which limits the types of possible decorations. Here, we describe the first general C(sp3)-heteroatom bond formation of alkyl germanes (-GeEt3) by leveraging electrochemistry to unlock polar reactivity. This approach allowed us to couple C(sp3)-GeEt3 with a variety of nucleophiles to construct ethers, esters, amines, amides, sulfonamides, sulfides, as well as C-P, C-F, and C-C bonds. The compatibility of the electrochemical approach with a modular synthetic strategy of a C1 motif was also showcased, involving the sequential functionalization of Cl, Bpin, and ultimately GeEt3 via electrochemistry.

Abstract
Exploring the scope of biocatalytic transformations in the absence of enzyme structures without extensive experimentation is a challenging task. To expand the limited substrate capacity of carrot-mediated bioreduction and hunt for new medicinally relevant ketones with minimum cost of labor and time, we deployed a practical method inspired by ligand-based drug design. Through analyzing collected literature data and building pharmacophore and reactivity prediction models, we screened a self-built virtual library of >8000 ketones bearing the most frequently used N,O,S-heterocycles and functional groups in drug discovery. Representative examples were validated, expanding the bioreduction substrate scope. The public availability of our models alongside the straightforward screening workflow makes it time-, labor-, and cost-saving to evaluate unknown bioreduction substrates for medicinal chemistry applications, especially for a large set of structurally differentiated ketones. Our studies also showcase the novelty of utilizing medicinal chemistry principles to solve a general biocatalysis problem.

Abstract
The design of small molecules with unique geometric profiles or molecular connectivity represents an intriguing yet neglected challenge in modern organic synthesis. This challenge is compounded when emphasis is placed on the preparation of new chemotypes that have distinct and practical functions. To expand the structural diversity of boron-containing heterocycles, we report herein the preparation of novel monocyclic hemiboronic acids, diazaborines. These compounds have enabled the study of a pseudoaromatic boranol-containing (B-OH) ring free of influence from an appended aromatic system. Synthetic and spectroscopic studies have provided insight into the aromatic character, Lewis acidic nature, chemical reactivity, and unique ability of the exocyclic B-OH unit to participate in hydroxy exchange, suggesting their use in organocatalysis and as reversible covalent inhibitors. Moreover, density functional theory and nucleus-independent chemical shift calculations reveal that the aromatic character of the boroheterocyclic ring is increased significantly in comparison to known bicyclic benzodiazaborines (naphthoid congeners), consequently leading to attenuated Lewis acidity. Direct structural comparison to a well-established biaryl isostere, 2-phenylphenol, through X-ray crystallographic analysis reveals that N-aryl derivatives are strikingly similar in size and conformation, with attenuated logP values underscoring the value of the polar BNN unit. Their potential application as low-molecular-weight scaffolds in drug discovery is demonstrated through orthogonal diversification and preliminary antifungal evaluation (Candida albicans), which unveiled analogs with low micromolar inhibitory concentration.

Abstract
The organocatalytic formation of an underrepresented family of trisubstituted and tetrasubstituted furans from activated alkenes and acyl chlorides is reported. In a reaction sequence based on P(III)/P(V) redox cycling catalysis, the cyclic phosphine catalysts react with diacylethenes or acyl acrylates in Michael addition, followed by acylation and either an intramolecular Wittig reaction or a ring closure reaction, liberating the furans. The formed phosphine oxides are reduced in situ by phenylsilane as a terminal reductant. In the first step, 12 diacylethenes were converted to the respective trisubstituted furans. The reaction of acyl acrylates showed a surprising, catalyst-dependent alternate reaction forming tetrasubstituted furans. Two additional methods were developed, giving 14 trisubstituted furans using a phospholene catalyst and an additional 6 tetrasubstituted furans using a phosphetane catalyst. This encompassed 19 newly described compounds.

Abstract
Herein, we report room temperature, atom-economic protocols for high regio- and enantioselective tandem cycloisomerization-hydroarylation and cycloisomerization-hydroalkenylation of 1,6-enynes leading to vicinal carba-functionalized pyrrolidines, tetrahydrofurans, and cyclopentanes. The latter steps in these processes involve carbonyl-coordination-assisted ortho-C-H activation of aromatic aldehydes and esters, and, a similar, yet rarely seen, β-C-H activation in the case of the acrylates. Synthetically useful enantioselective versions of such reactions are rare and are limited to the C2-H activation of indoles and pyrroles. A similar reaction is also observed with N-vinylphthalimide, which also has a carbonyl group suitable for C-H activation. A dibenzooxaphosphole ligand, (2S,2S',3S,3S')-MeO-BIBOP was uniquely identified as crucial to achieving the challenging regio- and enantioselectivity. This methodology gives access to substituted five-membered carbo- and heterocyclic compounds in good yields and excellent enantioselectivities under a low catalyst loading. A primary KIE of 3.5 is observed in an intermolecular competition experiment with methyl benzoate and d5-methyl benzoate, which indicates that the C-H cleavage is the turnover-limiting step of this process. Unlike the acrylates, which undergoes exclusive hydroalkenylation, a β, γ-unsaturated ester, methyl but-3-enoate, undergoes the highly enantioselective cycloisomerization-coupling sequence with a 1,6-enyne giving either a [2 + 2 + 2]-cycloaddition with (S, S)-BDPP or hydroalkenylation with (2S,2'S,3S,3'S)-MeO-BIBOP depending on the ligand employed. The (E)-configuration of the newly formed double bond at the terminal alkynyl carbon (of the starting enyne) in the hydroalkenylation product of β,γ-unsaturated ester suggests a more classical migratory insertion-β-hydride elimination route for the formation of this product.

Abstract
The C(sp3)-H difluoroalkylation for the introduction of carbonylated CF2 groups into tetrahydroisoquinolines (THIQs) and isochromans has been achieved by using electrochemical oxidation and organozinc alkylation. This one-pot process proceeded smoothly under transition-metal catalyst- and chemical oxidant-free conditions, and the desired products were obtained in good to high yields with a broad scope, except for N-Boc-THIQ. In addition, the gram-scale experiment successfully demonstrated the promising scalability. This is the first example of an electrochemical method for C(sp3)-H difluoroalkylation of amines and ethers.

Abstract
Saturated heterocycles, which incorporate S and O heteroatoms, serve as fundamental frameworks in a diverse array of natural products, bioactive compounds, and pharmaceuticals. Herein, we describe a unique cobalt-catalyzed approach integrated with a desymmetrization strategy, facilitating precise and enantioselective remote hydroalkylation of unactivated heterocyclic alkenes. This method delivers hydroalkylation products with high yields and excellent stereoselectivity, representing good efficiency in constructing alkyl chiral centers at remote C3-positions within five-membered S/O-heterocycles. Notably, the broad scope and good functional group tolerance of this asymmetric C(sp3)-C(sp3) coupling enhance its applicability.

Abstract
Saturated heterocycles are important class of structural scaffolds in small-molecule drugs, natural products, and synthetic intermediates. Here, we disclosed a metal free, mild, and scalable functionalization of saturated heterocycles using vinylarenes as a linchpin approach. Key to success of this transformation is the employing of simple and cheap benzophenone as a hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) catalyst. This operationally robust process was used for the making of diverse functionalized saturated heterocycles. Furthermore, aldehydes, alkane, and alcohol have been functionalized under the optimized conditions. The potential pharmaceutical utility of the procedure has also been demonstrated by late-stage functionalization of bioactive natural compounds and pharmaceutical molecules. Initial mechanism studies and control experiments were performed to elucidate the mechanism of the reactions.

Abstract
Demonstrated here is an external photo-sensitizer-free (auto-sensitized) singlet oxygen-enabled solvent-dependent tertiary hydroxylation and aryl-alkyl spiro-etherification of C3-maleimidated quinoxalines. Such "reagent-less" photo-oxygenation at Csp3-H and etherification involving Csp3-H/Csp2-H are unparalleled. Possibly, the highly π-conjugated N-H tautomer allows the substrate to get excited by irradiation, and subsequently, it attains the triplet state via ISC. This excited triplet-state sensitized molecule then transfers its energy to a triplet-state oxygen (3O2) generating reactive singlet oxygen (1O2) for hydroxylation and spirocyclization depending on the solvent used. In HFIP, the generated alkoxy radical accepts a proton via HAT giving hydroxylated product. In contrast, in an aprotic PhCl it underwent a radical addition at the ortho-position of the C2 aryl to provide spiro-ether. An unprecedented orthogonal spiro-etherification was observed via the displacement of o-substitutents for ortho (-OEt, -OMe, -F, -Cl, -Br) substituted substrates. The order of ipso substitution follows the trend -OMe>-OEt>-F>-H>-Cl>-Br. Both these oxygenation reactions can be carried out with nearly equal ease using direct sunlight without the requirement of any elaborate reaction setup. Demonstration of large-scale synthesis and a few interesting transformations have also been realized. Furthermore, several insightful control experiments and quantum chemical computations were performed to unravel the mechanism.

Abstract
(C-X) bonds (X=C, N, O) are the main backbone for making different skeleton in the organic synthetic transformations. Among all the sustainable techniques, electro-organic synthesis for C-X bond formation is the advanced tool as it offers a greener and more cost-effective approach to chemical reactions by utilizing electrons as reagents. In this review, we want to explore the recent advancements in electrochemical C-O bond formation. The electrochemically driven C-O bond formation represents an emerging and exciting area of research. In this context, electrochemical techniques offers numerous advantages, including higher yields, cost-efficient production, and simplified work-up procedures. This method enables the continuous and consistent formation of C-O bonds in molecules, significantly enhancing overall reaction yields. Furthermore, both intramolecular and intermolecular C-O bond forming reaction provided valuable products of O-containing acyclic/cyclic analogue. Hence, carbonyl (C=O), ether -O-), and ester (-COOR) functionalization in both cyclic/acyclic analogues have been prepared continuously via this innovative pathway. In this context, we want to discuss one-decade electrochemical synthetic pathways of various C-O bond contains functional group in chronological manner. This review focused on all the synthetic aspects including mechanistic path and has also mentioned overall critical finding regarding the C-O bond formation via electrochemical pathways.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the synthesis of substituted oxepane derivatives through the skeletal remodeling of 4-hydroxy-2-cyclobutenones, which are readily prepared from commercially available dialkyl squarates upon their reaction with acrylonitrile. Mechanistically, a Rh(I)-catalyzed C-C bond formation and cleavage cascade is proposed. Specifically, a fused [3.2.0] bicycle is proposed to form from dialkyl squarate-derived cyclobutenols via an unusual Rh(I)-catalyzed intermolecular oxa-Michael addition of a tertiary alcohol with acrylonitrile, followed by an intramolecular conjugate addition/migratory insertion. Subsequent C(sp3)-C(sp3) bond cleavage through a Rh-catalyzed β-carbon elimination is then theorized to furnish the oxepane scaffold. Computational studies support the formation of an intermediate [3.2.0] bicycle but also point to an alternative pathway for the formation of the oxepane products involving a Rh(III) intermediate. Additional studies have shown the overall process to be stereoretentive. The functional groups that are introduced in this process can be leveraged to form fused or bridged ring systems.

Controllable 1,3-Bis-Functionalization of 2-Nitroglycals with High Regioselectivity and Stereoselectivity Enabled by a H-Bond Catalyst. JACS AU 2024; 4:974-984. [PMID: 38559736 PMCID: PMC10976612 DOI: 10.1021/jacsau.3c00727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/20/2023] [Revised: 02/26/2024] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 04/04/2024]
Abstract
The selective modification of carbohydrates is significant for producing their unnatural analogues for drug discovery. C1-functionalization (glycosylation) and C1,C2-difunctionalization of carbohydrates have been well developed. In contrast, C3-functionalization or C1,C3-difunctionalization of carbohydrates remains rare. Herein, we report such processes that efficiently and stereoselectively modify carbohydrates. Specifically, we found that trifluoroethanol (TFE) could promote 1,3-bis-indolylation/pyrrolylation of 2-nitroglycals generated carbohydrate derivatives in up to 93% yield at room temperature; slightly reducing the temperature could install two different indoles at the C1- and C3-positions. Switching TFE to a bifunctional amino thiourea catalyst leads to the generation of C3 monosubstituted carbohydrates, which could also be used to construct 1,3-di-C-functionalized carbohydrates. This approach produced a range of challenging sugar derivatives (over 80 examples) with controllable and high stereoselectivity (single isomer for over 90% of the examples). The potential applications of the reaction were demonstrated by a set of transformations including the synthesis of bridged large-ring molecules and gram scale reactions. Biological activities evaluation demonstrated that three compounds exhibit a potent inhibitory effect on human cancer cells T24, HCT116, AGS, and MKN-45 with IC50 ranged from 0.695 to 3.548 μM.

Abstract
Organic molecules bearing chiral sulfur stereocenters exert a great impact on asymmetric catalysis and synthesis, chiral drugs, and chiral materials. Compared with acyclic ones, the catalytic asymmetric synthesis of thio-heterocycles has largely lagged behind due to the lack of efficient synthetic strategies. Here we establish the first modular platform to access chiral thio-oxazolidinones via Pd-catalyzed asymmetric [3+2] annulations of vinylethylene carbonates with sulfinylanilines. This protocol is featured by readily available starting materials, and high enantio- and diastereoselectivity. In particular, an unusual effect of a non-chiral supporting ligand on the diastereoselectivity was observed. Possible reaction mechanisms and stereocontrol models were proposed.

Abstract
The Minisci-type dehydrogenative coupling of N-heteroaromatic rings with inert C-H or Si-H partners via visible-light-catalyzed hydrogen atom transfer has been reported. This methodology allows the coupling reactions to be carried out in water as a solvent under air atmospheric conditions with visible-light illumination. A wide range of inert C-H and Si-H partners could be directly coupled with various N-aromatic heterocycles to deliver products in good to excellent yields.

Abstract
Epoxides, as a prominent small ring O-heterocyclic and the privileged pharmacophores for medicinal chemistry, have recently represented an ideal substrate for the development of single-atom replacements. The previous O-to-C replacement strategy for epoxides to date typically requires high temperatures to achieve low yields and lacks substrate range and functional group tolerance, so achieving this oxygen-carbon exchange remains a formidable challenge. Here, we report a silver-catalyzed direct conversion of epoxides into trifluoromethylcyclopropanes in a single step using trifluoromethyl N-triftosylhydrazones as carbene precursors, thereby achieving oxygen-carbon exchange via a tandem deoxygenation/[2 + 1] cycloaddition. The reaction shows broad tolerance of functional groups, allowing routine cheletropic olefin synthesis in a strategy for the net oxygen-carbon exchange reaction. The utility of this method is further showcased with the late-stage diversification of epoxides derived from bioactive natural products and drugs. Mechanistic experiments and DFT calculations elucidate the reaction mechanism and the origin of the chemo- and stereoselectivity.

Abstract
Functionalised tetrahydropyran and spirooxepane scaffolds were prepared utilising an iodoetherification strategy and elaborated to demonstrate their potential use in library synthesis. The iodoetherification products could be readily transformed to the corresponding azides that could be further functionalised via copper-catalysed azide-alkyne cycloaddition or reduction to the amine. The lead-likeness and three-dimensionality of the scaffolds were examined and compared to commercial libraries.

Abstract
Synthetic chemistry plays an indispensable role in drug discovery, contributing to hit compounds identification, lead compounds optimization, candidate drugs preparation, and so on. As Nobel Prize laureate James Black emphasized, "the most fruitful basis for the discovery of a new drug is to start with an old drug"1. Late-stage modification or functionalization of drugs, natural products and bioactive compounds have garnered significant interest due to its ability to introduce diverse elements into bioactive compounds promptly. Such modifications alter the chemical space and physiochemical properties of these compounds, ultimately influencing their potency and druggability. To enrich a toolbox of chemical modification methods for drug discovery, this review focuses on the incorporation of halogen, oxygen, and nitrogen-the ubiquitous elements in pharmacophore components of the marketed drugs-through late-stage modification in recent two decades, and discusses the state and challenges faced in these fields. We also emphasize that increasing cooperation between chemists and pharmacists may be conducive to the rapid discovery of new activities of the functionalized molecules. Ultimately, we hope this review would serve as a valuable resource, facilitating the application of late-stage modification in the construction of novel molecules and inspiring innovative concepts for designing and building new drugs.

Abstract
A proficient approach has been developed for the synthesis of substituted 2H-chromenes from C1-substituted glucal. The key step of our synthetic methodology was C-H activation in propylene carbonate solvent followed by 6π-electrocyclization aromatization in ethylene glycol as greener substitutes to toxic aprotic solvents, to obtain 2H-chromenes in a stepwise manner. The application of the developed methodology was further explored with the synthesis of a small library of substituted 2H-chromenes in good yields.

Abstract
Molecules containing heteroatoms, such as Se and S, play an indispensable role in the discovery and design of pharmaceuticals, whereas Se has been less studied. Here, we described a photoredox strategy to synthesize C-benzoselenazolyl (Bs) glycosides from 2-isocyanoaryl selenoethers and glycosyl bromides. This reaction was carried out under mild conditions with high efficiency. C-Benzothiazolyl (Bt) glycosides could also be synthesized from 2-isocyanoaryl thioethers using this strategy. This method can access novel seleno/thiosugars, which will benefit Se/S-containing drug discovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Proteases play important roles in the regulation of many physiological processes, and protease inhibitors have become one of the important drug classes. Especially because the development of protease inhibitors often starts from a substrate- based peptidomimetic strategy, many of the initial lead compounds suffer from pharmacokinetic liabilities. OBJECTIVE To reduce drug attrition rates, drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics studies are fully integrated into modern drug discovery research, and the structure-property relationship illustrates how the modification of the chemical structure influences the pharmacokinetic and toxicological properties of drug compounds. Understanding the structure- property relationships of clinically approved protease inhibitor drugs and their analogues could provide useful information on the lead-to-candidate optimization strategies. METHODS About 70 inhibitors against human or pathogenic viral proteases have been approved until the end of 2021. In this review, 17 inhibitors are chosen for the structure- property relationship analysis because detailed pharmacological and/or physicochemical data have been disclosed in the medicinal chemistry literature for these inhibitors and their close analogues. RESULTS The compiled data are analyzed primarily focusing on the pharmacokinetic or toxicological deficiencies found in lead compounds and the structural modification strategies used to generate candidate compounds. CONCLUSION The structure-property relationships hereby summarized how the overall druglike properties could be successfully improved by modifying the structure of protease inhibitors. These specific examples are expected to serve as useful references and guidance for developing new protease inhibitor drugs in the future.

Abstract
Using enynones and diazo carbonyl compounds as identical starting materials, methods for chemoselective and regioselective constructs of diazo-functionalized 2-methylene-2,3-dihydrofurans and diazo-functionalized trisubstituted furans have been established in a AgSbF6/DBU/DCE/0 °C system and a AgSbF6/DBU/Et2O·BF3/DCE/0 °C system, respectively. A Lewis acid and organic base cocontrolled reaction for the synthesis of diazo-functionalized trisubstituted furans is infrequent. For diazo-functionalized 2-methylene-2,3-dihydrofuran synthesis, the reaction possesses excellent diastereoselectivity and Z-selectivity. On the basis of Rh2(OAc)4-mediated unique decomposition of diazo-functionalized 2-methylene-2,3-dihydrofurans, an application to diastereoselective construction of a 5-methylene-4,7-dihydro-5H-furo[2,3-c]pyran frame has been achieved for the first time.

Abstract
Artur Silva's research group has a long history in the field of medicinal chemistry. The development of new synthetic methods for oxygen (mostly polyphenols, e.g., 2- and 3-styrylchromones, xanthones, flavones) and nitrogen (e.g., pyrazoles, triazoles, acridones, 4-quinolones) heterocyclic compounds in order to be assessed as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and anticancer agents has been the main core work of our research interests. Additionally, the synthesis of steroid-type compounds as anti-Alzheimer drugs as well as of several chromophores as important dyes for cellular imaging broadened our research scope. In this review article, we intend to provide an enlightened appraisal of all the bioactive compounds and their biological properties that were synthesized and studied by our research group in the last two decades.

Abstract
Despite recent interest in the development of iron-catalyzed transformations, methods that use iron-based catalysts capable of controlling the enantioselectivity in carbon-carbon cross-couplings are underdeveloped. Herein, we report a practical and simple protocol that uses commercially available and expensive iron salts in combination with chiral bisphosphine ligands to enable the regio- and enantioselective (up to 91:9) multicomponent cross-coupling of vinyl boronates, (fluoro)alkyl halides, and Grignard reagents. Preliminary mechanistic studies are consistent with rapid formation of an α-boryl radical followed by reversible radical addition to monoaryl bisphosphine-Fe(II) and subsequent enantioselective inner-sphere reductive elimination. From a broader perspective, this work provides a blueprint to develop asymmetric Fe-catalyzed multicomponent cross-couplings via the use of alkenes as linchpins to translocate alkyl radicals, modify their steric and electronic properties, and induce stereocontrol.

Abstract
Recently, the asymmetric bifunctionalization of alkenes has received much attention. However, the development of enantioselective alkoxyalkenylation has posed a considerable challenge and has lagged largely behind. Herein, we report a new palladium-catalyzed enantioselective alkoxyalkenylation reaction, using a range of primary, secondary, and tertiary γ-hydroxy-alkenes with alkenyl halides. By employing newly identified Xu-Phos (Xu8 and Xu9) with a suitable side-arm adjacent to the PCy2 motif, a series of allyl-substituted tetrahydrofurans were obtained in good yields with up to 95% ee. Besides (E)-alkenyl halides, (Z)-alkenyl halide was also examined and provided the corresponding (Z)-product as a single diastereomer, supporting a stereospecific oxidative addition and reductive elimination step. Moreover, deuterium labeling and VCD experiments were employed to determine a cis-oxypalladation mechanism. DFT calculations helped us gain deeper insight into the side-arm effect on the chiral ligand. Finally, the practicability of this method is further demonstrated through a gram-scale synthesis and versatile transformations of the products.

RSC Adv 2023; 13:33566-33587.

Abstract
In the present study, mesalamine-functionalized on magnetic nanoparticles (mesalamine/GPTMS@SiO2@Fe3O4) is fabricated as an efficient and magnetically recoverable nanocatalyst. The as-prepared nanocatalyst was successfully synthesized in three steps using a convenient and low-cost method via modification of the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with silica and GPTMS, respectively, to afford GPTMS@SiO2@Fe3O4. Finally, treatment with mesalamine as a powerful antioxidant generates the final nanocatalyst. Then, its structure was characterized by FT-IR, SEM, TEM, EDX, XRD, BET, VSM, and TGA techniques. The average size was found to be approximately 38 nm using TEM analysis and the average crystallite size was found to be approximately 27.02 nm using XRD analysis. In particular, the synthesized nanocatalyst exhibited strong thermal stability up to 400 °C and high magnetization properties. The activity of the synthesized nanocatalyst was evaluated in the tandem Knoevenagel-Michael cyclocondensation of various aromatic aldehydes, dimedone and malononitrile under a dry grinding method at room temperature to provide biologically active 2-amino-4H-benzo[b]pyran derivatives products in a short time with good yields. The presented procedure offers several advantages including gram-scale synthesis, good green chemistry metrics (GCM), easy fabrication of the catalyst, atom economy (AE), no use of column chromatography, and avoiding the generation of toxic materials. Furthermore, the nanocatalyst can be reused for 8 cycles with no loss of performance by using an external magnet.

Abstract
A unique Pd-catalyzed approach for asymmetric (4+1) annulations via cascade allylation and transient σ-alkyl-Pd(II) initiated methylene Csp3 -H activation is reported. The enolate fragment derived from the decarboxylation of vinyl methylene carbonate is crucial to stabilize the key intermediate. These reactions enable the synthesis of various useful dihydrobenzofurans with excellent enantioselectivity, typically >95 : 5 er, and exclusive (Z)-stereoselectivity. Compared with the well-established annulations via Heck-type C-H activations, this protocol showcases a conceptually new way to generate σ-alkyl-Pd(II) species that could initiate challenging asymmetric Csp3 -H activations.

Abstract
Enzymes are the biological macromolecules that have emerged as an important drug target as their upregulation/imbalance leads to various pathological conditions, such as inflammation, parasitic infection, Alzheimer's, cancer, and many others. Here, we designed and synthesized some morpholine tethered novel aurones and evaluated them as potential inhibitors for CTSB, α-amylase, lipase and activator for trypsin. All the newly synthesized compounds were fully characterized by various spectroscopic techniques (1H NMR, 13C NMR, HRMS) and the Z-configuration to them was assigned based on single crystal XRD data and 1H NMR chemical shift values. Further, the hybrids were evaluated for their intracellular (cathepsin B) and extracellular (trypsin, lipase, amylase) enzyme inhibition potencies. The in-vitro inhibition screening against cathepsin B revealed that most of the synthesized compounds are good competitive inhibitors (% inhibition = 22.91-75.04), with 6q (% inhibition = 75.04) and 6r (% inhibition = 71.13) as the eminent inhibitors of the series. At the same time, they exhibited weak to moderate inhibition towards amylase (% inhibition = 7.22-22.48) and lipase (% inhibition = 16.29-54.83). A significant trypsin activation (% activation = 107.42-196.47) was observed even at the micromolar concentration of the compounds. Furthermore, the drug-modeling studies showed a good correlation between the in-vitro experimental results and the calculated binding affinity of the screened compounds with all the tested enzymes. These findings are expected to provide a new lead in drug development for different pathological disorders wherever these enzymes are involved.

Abstract
An unprecedented [2 + 3] annulation of N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles with enaminones is reported for the access of polysubstituted furans. The key to the success of the transformations lies in the use of Rh(II)-Brønsted acid as cooperative catalysts. Unlike the conventional annulations of N-sulfony-l-1,2,3-triazoles, the Rh(II)-azavinyl carbenes species play dual functions in this work, enabled by the cleavage of the C(sp2)-N bond. The mechanism studies suggested that an intermolecular rearrangement of the TsNH- group is crucial to the annulation process.

Abstract
The cytochrome P450 (CYP) superfamily of monooxygenase enzymes play important roles in the metabolism of molecules which contain heterocyclic, aromatic functional groups. Here we study how oxygen- and sulfur-containing heterocyclic groups interact with and are oxidized using the bacterial enzyme CYP199A4. This enzyme oxidized both 4-(thiophen-2-yl)benzoic acid and 4-(thiophen-3-yl)benzoic acid almost exclusively via sulfoxidation. The thiophene oxides produced were activated towards Diels-Alder dimerization after sulfoxidation, forming dimeric metabolites. Despite X-ray crystal structures demonstrating that the aromatic carbon atoms of the thiophene ring were located closer to the heme than the sulfur, sulfoxidation was still favoured with 4-(thiophen-3-yl)benzoic acid. These results highlight a preference of this cytochrome P450 enzyme for sulfoxidation over aromatic hydroxylation. Calculations predict a strong preference for homodimerization of the enantiomers of the thiophene oxides and the formation of a single major product, in broad agreement with the experimental data. 4-(Furan-2-yl)benzoic acid was oxidized to 4-(4'-hydroxybutanoyl)benzoic acid using a whole-cell system. This reaction proceeded via a γ-keto-α,β-unsaturated aldehyde species which could be trapped in vitro using semicarbazide to generate a pyridazine species. The combination of the enzyme structures, the biochemical data and theoretical calculations provides detailed insight into the formation of the metabolites formed from these heterocyclic compounds.

Abstract
Ether derivatives are widespread as essential building blocks in various drugs, natural products, agrochemicals, and materials. Modern economy requires developing green strategies with improved efficiency and reduction of waste. Due to its atom and step-economy, the cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) reaction has become a major strategy for ether functionalization. This review covers C-H/C-H cross-coupling reactions of ether derivatives with various C-H bond substrates via non-noble metal catalysts (Fe, Cu, Co, Mn, Ni, Zn, Y, Sc, In, Ag). We discuss advances achieved in these CDC reactions and hope to attract interest in developing novel methodologies in this field of organic chemistry.

Abstract
The C-O bond is ubiquitous in biologically active molecules, pharmaceutical agents, and functional materials, thereby making it an important functional group. Consequently, the development of C-O bond-forming reactions using catalytic strategies has become an increasingly important research topic in organic synthesis because more conventional methods involving strong base and acid have many limitations. In contrast to the ionic-pathway-based methods, copper-promoted radical-mediated C-O bond formation is experiencing a surge in research interest owing to a renaissance in free-radical chemistry and photoredox catalysis. This Perspective highlights and appraises state-of-the-art techniques in this burgeoning research field. The contents are organized according to the different reaction types and working models.

Abstract
A process for 3-fold scaffold diversification is achieved via ruthenium-catalyzed oxidative alkynylation of commercially available oxetanols, azetidinols and bicyclopentanols to form α,β-acetylenic ketones (ynones), which are subsequently converted to oxetane-, azetidine- and bicyclopentane-bearing pyrazoles, isoxazoles and pyrimidines. A one-pot oxidative alkynylation-condensation protocol that directly converts azetidinols to azetidine-substituted pyrazoles or pyrimidines is demonstrated.

Abstract
Purpose Ulcer is a serious disease that is caused due to different bacteria and over usage of various NSAIDs which caused to reduce the defensive system of stomach. Therefore, some novel series are needed to overcome these issues. Methods Oxazole-based imidazopyridine scaffolds (4a-p) were designed and synthesized by two step reaction protocol and then subjected to urease inhibition profile (in vitro). All the newly afforded analogs (4a-p) were found potent and demonstrated moderate to significant inhibition profile. Results Particularly, the analogs 4i (IC50 = 5.68 ± 1.66 μM), 4o (IC50 = 7.11 ± 1.24 μM), 4 g (IC50 = 9.41 ± 1.19 μM) and 4 h (IC50 = 10.45 ± 2.57 μM) were identified to be more potent than standard thiourea drug (IC50 = 21.37 ± 1.76 μM). Additionally, the variety of spectroscopic tools such as 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HREI-MS analysis were employed to confirm the precise structures of all the newly afforded analogs. Discussion The structure-activity relationship (SAR) studies showed that analogs possess the substitution either capable of furnishing strong HB like -OH or had strong EW nature such as -CF3 & -NO2 groups displayed superior inhibitory potentials than the standard thiourea drug. A good PLI (protein-ligand interaction) profile was shown by most active analogs when subjected to molecular study against corresponding target with key significant interactions such as pi-pi stacking, pi-pi T shaped and hydrogen bonding.

Abstract
Pd-catalyzed cyclizative functionalization of γ-hydroxyalkenes affords tetrahydrofuran derivatives via a key 5-exo-trig oxypalladation step. Herein, we report a palladium(II)-catalyzed, Selectfluor-mediated formal 6-endo-trig fluorocycloetherification of γ-hydroxyalkenes for the synthesis of functionalized tetrahydropyrans. Mechanistically, an σ-alkyl-Pd(II) intermediate resulting from the 5-exo-trig oxypalladation process is isolated and characterized by X-ray crystallographic analysis. Its oxidation with Selectfluor to Pd(IV) triggers the chemoselective 1,2-O/Pd(IV) dyotropic rearrangement affording, after C-F bond-forming reductive elimination, the tetrahydropyrans with concurrent generation of a tertiary carbon-fluorine bond. The occurrence of this 1,2-positional interchange is further evidenced by trapping the rearranged quaternary C(sp3)-Pd bond by an internal nucleophile that is materialized by the development of a Pd(II)-catalyzed oxidative bis-heterocyclization of alkenes.

Abstract
We describe the first enantioselective synthesis of highly functionalized 1-azabicyclo[3.3.1]nonanes (1-IM). The 1-IM scaffold is present in natural products and drugs and is an isomer of the morphan moiety. The proposed methodology is based on an organocatalytic Michael addition of N-protected piperidine ketoesters to nitroalkenes and an intramolecular nitro-Mannich reaction as key transformations. The 1-IMs feature 6 contiguous stereocenters, substituents at positions 2 and 4, and nitro, ester, and hydroxyl functional groups at positions 3, 5, and 6 respectively. The synthesis is straightforward, highly stereoselective (up to 98% ee, >99 : 1 d.r.), with overall yields of up to 83% and requires only two purification steps.

Abstract
Alkene aminooxygenation and dioxygenation reactions that result in carbonyl products are uncommon, and protocols that control absolute stereochemistry are rare. We report herein catalytic enantioselective alkene aminooxygenation and dioxygenation that directly provide enantioenriched 2-formyl saturated heterocycles under aerobic conditions. Cyclization of substituted 4-pentenylsulfonamides, catalyzed by readily available chiral copper complexes and employing molecular oxygen as both oxygen source and stoichiometric oxidant, directly provides chiral 2-formyl pyrrolidines efficiently. Reductive or oxidative workup of these aldehydes provides their respective amino alcohols or amino acids (unnatural prolines). Enantioselective synthesis of an indoline and isoquinolines is also demonstrated. Concurrently, cyclization of various alkenols under similar conditions provides 2-formyl tetrahydrofurans, phthalans, isochromans, and morpholines. The nature of the copper ligands, the concentration of molecular oxygen, and the reaction temperature all impact the product distribution. Chiral nitrogen and oxygen heterocycles are common components of bioactive small molecules, and these enabling technologies provide access to saturated heterocycles functionalized with ready-to-use carbonyl electrophiles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Therapeutic approaches based on glycolysis and energy metabolism of tumor cells are new promising strategies for the treatment of cancer. Currently, researches on the inhibition of pyruvate kinase M2, a key rate limiting enzyme in glycolysis, have been corroborated as an effective cancer therapy. Alkannin is a potent pyruvate kinase M2 inhibitor. However, its non-selective cytotoxicity has affected its subsequent clinical application. Thus, it needs to be structurally modified to develop novel derivatives with high selectivity. PURPOSE Our study aimed to ameliorate the toxicity of alkannin through structural modification and elucidate the mechanism of the superior derivative 23 in lung cancer therapy. METHODS On the basis of the principle of collocation, different amino acids and oxygen-containing heterocycles were introduced into the hydroxyl group of the alkannin side chain. We examined the cell viability of all derivatives on three tumor cells (HepG2, A549 and HCT116) and two normal cells (L02 and MDCK) by MTT assay. Besides, the effect of derivative 23 on the morphology of A549 cells as observed by Giemsa and DAPI staining, respectively. Flow cytometry was performed to assess the effects of derivative 23 on apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. To further assess the effect of derivative 23 on the Pyruvate kinase M2 in glycolysis, an enzyme activity assay and western blot assay were performed. Finally, in vivo the antitumor activity and safety of the derivative 23 were evaluated by using Lewis mouse lung cancer xenograft model. RESULTS Twenty-three novel alkannin derivatives were designed and synthesized to improve the cytotoxicity selectivity. Among these derivatives, derivative 23 showed the highest cytotoxicity selectivity between cancer and normal cells. The anti-proliferative activity of derivative 23 on A549 cells (IC50 = 1.67 ± 0.34 μM) was 10-fold higher than L02 cells (IC50 = 16.77 ± 1.44 μM) and 5-fold higher than MDCK cells (IC50 = 9.23 ± 0.29 μM) respectively. Subsequently, fluorescent staining and flow cytometric analysis showed that derivative 23 was able to induce apoptosis of A549 cells and arrest the cell cycle in the G0/G1 phase. In addition, the mechanistic studies suggested derivative 23 was an inhibitor of pyruvate kinase; it could regulate glycolysis by inhibiting the activation of the phosphorylation of PKM2/STAT3 signaling pathway. Furthermore, studies in vivo demonstrated derivative 23 significantly inhibited the growth of xenograft tumor. CONCLUSION In this study, alkannin selectivity is reported to be significantly improved following structural modification, and derivative 23 is first shown to be able to inhibit lung cancer growth via the PKM2/STAT3 phosphorylation signaling pathway in vitro, indicating the potential value of derivative 23 in treating lung cancer.

Abstract
Urease enzyme is a known therapeutic drug target for treatment of Helicobacter pylori infection due to its role in settlement and growth in gastric mucosa. In this study, we designed a new series of sulfonates and sulfamates bearing imidazo[2,1-b]thiazole scaffold that exhibit a potent inhibitory activity of urease enzyme. The most potent compound 2c inhibited urease with an IC50 value of 2.94 ± 0.05 μM, which is 8-fold more potent than the thiourea positive control (IC50 = 22.3 ± 0.031 μM). Enzyme kinetics study showed that compound 2c is a competitive inhibitor of urease. Molecular modeling studies of the most potent inhibitors in the urease active site suggested multiple binding interactions with different amino acid residues. Phenotypic screening of the developed compounds against H. pylori delivered molecules of that possess high potency (1a, 1d, 1h, 2d, and 2f) in comparison to the positive control, acetohydroxamic acid. Additional studies to investigate the selectivity of these compounds against AGS gastric cell line and E. coli were performed. Permeability of the most promising derivatives (1a, 1d, 1h, 2d, and 2f) in Caco-2 cell line, was investigated. As a result, compound 1d presented itself as a lead drug candidate since it exhibited a promising inhibition against urease with an IC50 of 3.09 ± 0.07 μM, MIC value against H. pylori of 0.031 ± 0.011 mM, and SI against AGS of 6.05. Interestingly, compound 1d did not show activity against urease-negative E. coli and exhibited a low permeability in Caco-2 cells which supports the potential use of this compound for GIT infection without systemic effect.

Abstract
An efficient alkoxyl radical-triggered ring expansion/cross-coupling cascade was developed under cheap metal catalysis. Through the metal-catalyzed radical relay strategy, a wide range of medium-sized lactones (9-11 membered) and macrolactones (12, 13, 15, 18, and 19-membered) were constructed in moderate to good yields, along with diverse functional groups including CN, N3, SCN, and X groups installed concurrently. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations revealed that reductive elimination of the cycloalkyl-Cu(iii) species is a more favorable reaction pathway for the cross-coupling step. Based on the results of experiments and DFT, a Cu(i)/Cu(ii)/Cu(iii) catalytic cycle is proposed for this tandem reaction.

Abstract
The effects of Lewis basic phosphoramides on the aggregate structure of t-BuLi have been investigated in detail by NMR and DFT methods. It was determined that hexamethylphosphoramide (HMPA) can shift the equilibrium of t-BuLi to include the triple ion pair (t-Bu-Li-t-Bu)-/HMPA4Li+ which serves as a reservoir for the highly reactive separated ion pair t-Bu-/HMPA4Li+. Because the Li-atom's valences are saturated in this ion pair, the Lewis acidity is significantly decreased; in turn, the basicity is maximized which allowed for the typical directing effects within oxygen heterocycles to be overridden and for remote sp3 C-H bonds to be deprotonated. Furthermore, these newly accessed lithium aggregation states were leveraged to develop a simple γ-lithiation and capture protocol of chromane heterocycles with a variety of alkyl halide electrophiles in good yields.

Abstract
We present a green and economical approach for the photooxidation of diverse olefins through the use of ammonium persulfate and blue light irradiation, resulting in the formation of vicinal diols from styrenes and aliphatic alkenes, and vinyl esters and diacids from α,β-unsaturated ketones. The involvement of sulfate radicals in the reaction medium was established as the primary species responsible for the selective generation of the products. A significant advantage of the method lies in its broad substrate scope and economic feasibility, making it a promising alternative to conventional transition metal photocatalysis.

[PMID: 36937582 PMCID: PMC10016361 DOI: 10.1039/d2sc07117g] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/30/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2023] [Indexed: 02/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Catalytic enantioselective domino alkenylation-heteroarylation of nonconjugated iododienes proceeded with excellent stereoselectivity and broad scope of substrates. The reaction enables stereoselective syntheses of substituted azacycles such as piperidine, pyrrolidine azepine and dihydropyrans carrying new quaternary stereocenters. Mechanistically, C-H bonds of heterocycles were activated by lithium alkoxides via reversible deprotonation, rather than conventional palladium(ii)-assisted metalation processes. Many types of heteroarenes can be used, including not only azoles (such as thiazoles, oxazoles, imidazoles and oxadiazoles), but also nonazoles (thiophene, furan and azine N-oxides).

Synthesis, carbonic anhydrase inhibition, anticancer activity, and molecular docking studies of 1,3,4-oxadiazole derivatives. Mol Divers 2023; 27:193-208. [PMID: 35344136 DOI: 10.1007/s11030-022-10416-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/03/2022] [Accepted: 02/22/2022] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
In this work, we have synthesized various organic compounds possessing 1,3,4-oxadiazole as a core structure and the structure of the newly synthesized target compounds has been revealed using different analytical approaches such as FT-IR, LCMS, and NMR (proton and carbon), respectively. The in vitro carbonic anhydrase potentials of these synthesized 17 different analogues were investigated. The result suggests that compound 7g, a 3-pyridine substituted analogue with an IC50 of 0.1 µM, was found to have the most potent carbonic inhibitory activity (11-fold more active) than the positive control (acetazolamide) with an IC50 of 1.1 ± 0.1 µM. Besides, among the series 7(a-q) approved in the identification of four potent carbonic anhydrase inhibitors with the IC50 standards varies from 0.1 to 1.0 ± 0.1 µM. Additionally, the non-competitive behaviour for potent compound 7g was analysed using the Lineweaver-Burk plot from the kinetic study. Furthermore, the anticancer activity of all the synthesized compounds screened against B16F10 melanoma cells using the MTT assay method. Additionally, the molecular docking studies revealed that 7g inhibitor shows good binding energy as well as good binding interaction pattern along with enzyme.

Abstract
We report a palladium-catalyzed intramolecular direct heteroarylation of oxazole tethered β-naphthols to access corresponding tetracyclic 4H-benzo[5,6]chromeno[3,4-d]oxazoles. Various functional groups are well tolerated and furnished the desired products in good to excellent yields under the present reaction conditions. The scale-up reaction and synthetic utility of the resulting molecules have been demonstrated. Moreover, UV/vis absorption and fluorescence emission properties have been evaluated for these polyheterocyclic compounds.

Abstract
A versatile photochemical ring-expansion protocol for the synthesis of oxacyclic spirooxindoles under catalyst-free conditions is described. The reaction is enabled by the use of unstrained O-containing heterocycles with 3-diazoindolin-2-ones under visible-light irradiation. Several synthetic advantages for this method are exhibited, including mild conditions, good functional group tolerance, operational simplicity, and scalability. Mechanistic studies indicate that the transformation may proceed through the formation of oxonium ylide intermediate followed by an ionic cyclization.
