Abstract
A cobalt-catalyzed intramolecular Markovnikov hydroalkoxycarbonylation and hydroaminocarbonylation of unactivated alkenes has been developed, enabling highly chemo- and regioselective synthesis of α-alkylated γ-lactones and α-alkylated γ-lactams in good yields. The mild reaction conditions allow use of mono-, di- and trisubstituted alkenes bearing a variety of functional groups. Preliminary mechanistic studies suggest the reaction proceeds through a CO-mediated hydrogen atom transfer (HAT) and radical-polar crossover (RPC) process, in which a cationic acylcobalt(IV) complex is proposed as the key intermediate.

Abstract
The borrowing hydrogen methodology (BH) has emerged as a powerful tool for the rapid construction of C-C bonds, offering a greener alternative to traditional multi-step syntheses. This methodology involves the activation of inactivated alcohols followed by condensation or aldolization, ultimately leading to the regeneration of the saturated product. Herein, we report the C-alkylation of a hindered ketone with challenging secondary saturated heterocyclic alcohols. Our study encompasses the optimization of reaction conditions using either an iridium or a ruthenium catalyst and exploration of substrate scope. We demonstrate the efficient synthesis of substituted pyrrolidines and piperidines directly from a triol precursor, showcasing the versatility of this methodology. Moreover, we illustrate the post-functionalization of BH products, significantly broadening their chemical utility.

ACS Chem Neurosci 2024; 15:2182-2197. [PMID: 38726817 PMCID: PMC11157484 DOI: 10.1021/acschemneuro.4c00008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 05/01/2024] [Accepted: 05/01/2024] [Indexed: 06/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Aggregative α-synuclein and incurring oxidative stress are pivotal cascading events, leading to dopaminergic (DAergic) neuronal loss and contributing to clinical manifestations of Parkinson's disease (PD). Our previous study demonstrated that 2-butoxytetrahydrofuran (2-BTHF), isolated from Holothuria scabra (H. scabra), could inhibit amyloid-β aggregation and its ensuing toxicity, which leads to Alzheimer's disease. In the present study, we found that 2-BTHF also attenuated the aggregative and oxidative activities of α-synuclein and lessened its toxicity in a transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans) PD model. Such worms treated with 100 μM of 2-BTHF showed substantial reductions in α-synuclein accumulation and DAergic neurodegeneration. Mechanistically, 2-BTHF, at this concentration, significantly decreased aggregation of monomeric α-synuclein and restored locomotion and dopamine-dependent behaviors. Molecular docking exhibited potential bindings of 2-BTHF to HSF-1 and DAF-16 transcription factors. Additionally, 2-BTHF significantly increased the mRNA transcripts of genes encoding proteins involved in proteostasis, including the molecular chaperones hsp-16.2 and hsp-16.49, the ubiquitination/SUMOylation-related ubc-9 gene, and the autophagy-related genes atg-7 and lgg-1. Transcriptomic profiling revealed an additional mechanism of 2-BTHF in α-synuclein-expressing worms, which showed upregulation of PPAR signaling cascades that mediated fatty acid metabolism. 2-BTHF significantly restored lipid deposition, upregulated the fat-7 gene, and enhanced gcs-1-mediated glutathione synthesis in the C. elegans PD model. Taken together, this study demonstrated that 2-BTHF could abrogate aggregative and oxidative properties of α-synuclein and attenuate its toxicity, thus providing a possible therapeutic application for the treatment of α-synuclein-induced PD.

Abstract
A palladium-catalyzed defluorinative alkylation of gem-difluoroalkenes with cyclopropyl alcohols was developed. A range of γ-fluorinated γ,δ-unsaturated ketones were constructed in good yields with excellent stereoselectivities. In addition, by base-mediated intramolecular nucleophilic vinylic substitution (SNV), the products could be further transformed to 2,5-dimethylenetetrahydrofurans and analogues with excellent stereoselectivities.

Abstract
γ-methylene C(sp3 )-H functionalization of linear free carboxylic acids remains a significant challenge. Here in we report a Pd(II)-catalyzed tandem γ-arylation and γ-lactonization of aliphatic acids enabled by a L,X-type CarboxPyridone ligand. A wide range of γ-arylated γ-lactones are synthesized in a single step from aliphatic acids in moderate to good yield. Arylated lactones can readily be converted into disubstituted tetrahydrofurans, a prominent scaffold amongst bioactive molecules.

Abstract
Propargyl silanes with a terminal alkyne moiety undergo a 1,2-silyl shift when activated with electrophiles such as H+, Br+, I+, and PhSe+. A method was developed to trap 1,3-transposed electrophilic centers with various internal O-, N-, and S-nucleophiles in a 5-exo manner. This synthetic procedure provided five-membered heterocycles containing a trisubstituted olefin side chain. The scope of the method includes access to tetrahydrofuran, γ-butyrolactone, 2-isooxazoline, pyrrolidine, and thiolane derivatives in yields ranging from 25 to 85% (23 examples in total). Reactions with TsNBr2 ensured complete (E)-selectivity of the newly formed olefins. Further functionalization of the obtained 1-trialkylsilyl-2-bromovinyl side chain was demonstrated by double-bond geometry-preserving electrophilic substitution and cross-coupling reactions that provided heterocycles with a trisubstituted vinyl moiety.

Convergent total synthesis of (+)-muricatetrocin B, a tetrahydrofuran-containing acetogenin with potent and selective cytotoxicity against the HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cell line, was achieved in 13 steps. Our synthesis is highlighted by a late-stage sequential olefin cross-metathesis/Hartung-Mukaiyama cyclization for convergent assembly of the 2,5-trans-substituted tetrahydrofuran ring.
