Abstract
Herein, we present two unprecedented reactions for the synthesis of γ-butenolides and oxazoles, leveraging Tf2O's promoted reactivity of nitriles with diacetonide endoglucofuranose and 1,2,3,5-tetra-O-acetyl-β-d-ribofuranose. This method is highly efficient and straightforward and employs a one-step, metal-free protocol. It is effective with both aromatic and aliphatic nitriles and demonstrates a broad substrate scope. Our approach provides a versatile and practical pathway for the synthesis of structurally diverse compounds, significantly expanding the utility of Tf2O in synthetic chemistry.

Molecules 2023; 28:5635. [PMID: 37570605 PMCID: PMC10419854 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28155635] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2023] [Revised: 07/14/2023] [Accepted: 07/24/2023] [Indexed: 08/13/2023] Open
Abstract
Organic thioethers play an important role in the discovery of drugs and natural products. However, the green synthesis of organic sulfide compounds remains a challenging task. The convenient and efficient synthesis of 5-alkoxy-3-halo-4-methylthio-2(5H)-furanones from DMSO is performed via the mediation of 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBDMH), affording a facile route for the sulfur-functionalization of 3,4-dihalo-2(5H)-furanones under transition metal-free conditions. This new approach has demonstrated the functionalization of non-aromatic Csp2-X-type halides with unique structures containing C-X, C-O, C=O and C=C bonds. Compared with traditional synthesis methods using transition metal catalysts with ligands, this reaction has many advantages, such as the lower temperature, the shorter reaction time, the wide substrate range and good functional group tolerance. Notably, DMSO plays multiple roles, and is simultaneously used as an odorless methylthiolating reagent and safe solvent.

Eur J Med Chem 2023; 257:115528. [PMID: 37290184 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejmech.2023.115528] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2023] [Revised: 05/22/2023] [Accepted: 05/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
Catechols have been reported to be potent covalent inhibitors of ureases, and they exhibit activity by modifying cysteine residues at the entrance to enzymatic active sites. Following these principles, we designed and synthesized novel catecholic derivatives that contained carboxylate and phosphonic/phosphinic functionalities and assumed expanded specific interactions. When studying the chemical stability of the molecules, we found that their intrinsic acidity catalyzes spontaneous esterification/hydrolysis reactions in methanol or water solutions, respectively. Regarding biological activity, the most promising compound, 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-phosphonopropionic acid (15), exhibited significant anti-urease potential (Ki = 2.36 μM, Sporosarcinia pasteurii urease), which was reflected in the antiureolytic effect in live Helicobacter pylori cells at a submicromolar concentration (IC50 = 0.75 μM). As illustrated by molecular modeling, this compound was bound in the active site of urease through a set of concerted electrostatic and hydrogen bond interactions. The antiureolytic activity of catecholic phosphonic acids could be specific because these compounds were chemically inert and not cytotoxic to eukaryotic cells.

Abstract
Alkenes and their derivatives are featured widely in a variety of natural products, pharmaceuticals, and advanced materials. Significant efforts have been made toward the development of new and practical methods to access this important class of compounds by selectively activating the alkenyl C(sp2)-H bonds in recent years. In this comprehensive review, we describe the state-of-the-art strategies for the direct functionalization of alkenyl sp2 C-H and C-F bonds until June 2022. Moreover, metal-free, photoredox, and electrochemical strategies are also covered. For clarity, this review has been divided into two parts; the first part focuses on currently available alkenyl sp2 C-H functionalization methods using different alkene derivatives as the starting materials, and the second part describes the alkenyl sp2 C-F bond functionalization using easily accessible gem-difluoroalkenes as the starting material. This review includes the scope, limitations, mechanistic studies, stereoselective control (using directing groups as well as metal-migration strategies), and their applications to complex molecule synthesis where appropriate. Overall, this comprehensive review aims to document the considerable advancements, current status, and emerging work by critically summarizing the contributions of researchers working in this fascinating area and is expected to stimulate novel, innovative, and broadly applicable strategies for alkenyl sp2 C-H and C-F bond functionalizations in the coming years.

Abstract
An efficient protocol for the synthesis of furans through Rh(III)-catalyzed vinyl C-H activation from acrylic acids and α-diazocarbonyl compounds has been developed. The reaction features broad functional group tolerance and affords a series of furans in moderate to good yields. Moreover, no additives such as copper or silver salts are required. Some control experiments are performed to give insight into the mechanism of this cascade transformation and the decarbonylation process is involved in the formation of the furan product.

Abstract
The efficient synthesis of pyranones is presented by a three-component cascade reaction from readily available acrylic acids, ethyl glyoxylate, and p-toluenesulfonamide under ruthenium catalysis. For the first time, the nucleophilic addition of the vinylic C-H bond of acrylic acids across aldehyde is achieved, and the intramolecular cyclization as well as subsequent second insertion to aldehyde form the substituted butenolides. The elimination of sulfonamides occurs at higher temperature to give the pyranones.

Abstract
In the presence of a [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2/triethylphosphine/lithium carbonate catalyst system, aryl bromides undergo (Z)-selective couplings with unprotected 2-arylacrylic acids to form (Z)-diarylacrylic acids. This vinylic C-H functionalization proceeds in high yields of up to 94% and (Z/E)-ratios of up to 99:1, tolerating a wide range of functional groups. Mechanistic studies indicate that the vinylic C-H activation proceeds via base-assisted cyclometalation rather than via a Heck-type mechanism, which explains its orthogonal stereoselectivity.

Abstract
A coupling of acrylic acids/benzoic acids with α-diazocarbonyl compounds has been realized by a combined catalytic system of rhodium catalyst and Zn(OAc)2 additive. The presence of Zn(OAc)2 obviously accelerates the C(sp2)-H activation and destructed the formation of carboxylic ester that is formed via a nucleophilic O-H insertion to metal carbenoid. The procedure featured mild reaction conditions and broad substrate scope, providing a straightforward approach to the synthesis of α-pyrones and isocoumarins without the transformation of carboxylic acids to the corresponding amides.
