The conversion of terminal alkynes to functionalized products by the direct addition heteroatom-based nucleophiles is an important aim in catalysis. We report design, synthesis, and mechanistic studies half-sandwich ruthenium complex 12, which a highly active catalyst for anti-Markovnikov reductive hydration alkynes. key design element 12 involves tridentate nitrogen-based ligand that contains hemilabile 3-(dimethylamino)propyl substituent. Under neutral conditions, dimethylamino substituent...

The tricyclic diterpene fungal metabolite (+)-pleuromutilin has served as a starting point for antibiotic development. Semisynthetic modification of its glycolic acid subunit at C14 provided the first analogs fit human use, and derivatization C12 led to 12-epi-pleuromutilins with extended-spectrum antibacterial activity, including activity against Gram-negative pathogens. Given inherent limitations semisynthesis, however, accessing derivatives full control over their structure presents an...

Anti-Markovnikov alkyne hydration provides a valuable route to aldehydes. Half-sandwich ruthenium complexes ligated by 5,5'-bis(trifluoromethyl)-2,2'-bipyridine are remarkably active for this transformation. In the presence of 2 mol % metal, wide range functionalized aliphatic and aromatic alkynes hydrated in high yield at ambient temperature.

We describe the development of an enantioselective synthetic route to (+)-pleuromutilin (1), (+)-12-epi-mutilin, and related derivatives. A key hydrindanone was prepared in three steps 48% overall yield from cyclohex-2-en-1-one. 1,4-Hydrocyanation provided a nitrile (53%, or 85% based on recovered starting material) that converted eneimide 57 80% by 1,2-addition methyllithium function, cyclization, situ acylation with di-tert-butyldicarbonate. The employed 2-fold neopentylic coupling...

The half-sandwich ruthenium complexes 1-3 activate terminal alkynes toward anti-Markovnikov hydration and reductive under mild conditions. These reactions are believed to proceed via addition of water metal vinylidene intermediates (4). functionalization propargylic alcohols by pathways is challenging owing decomposition the starting material catalytic intermediates. Here we show that catalyst 2 can be employed convert 1,3-diols in high yield with retention stereochemistry at position....

A general strategy for conjugate addition–C-acylation that enables the synthesis of enantioenriched β-dicarbonyl compounds is described. novel method derivatizing these adducts by stereo- and site-selective zinc-catalyzed addition alkyllithium reagents also reported. These reactions can be performed in tandem to achieve an enantio- diastereoselective four-component coupling. The situ generation weakly basic lithium zincate species central success all three transformations.

Abstract Anti‐Markovnikov alkyne hydration provides a valuable route to aldehydes. Half‐sandwich ruthenium complexes ligated by 5,5′‐bis(trifluoromethyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine are remarkably active for this transformation. In the presence of 2 mol % metal, wide range functionalized aliphatic and aromatic alkynes hydrated in high yield at ambient temperature.

An improved synthesis of an eneimide, which is a useful precursor to pleuromutilin-based antibiotics, reported. This proceeds in six steps and 17% overall yield (27% based on recovery key hydrindenone intermediate) requires two fewer chromatography five days reaction time than the previously reported route. The use expensive, acutely toxic, precious metal reagents or catalysts has been minimized.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) are key regulators of the cell cycle and frequently altered in cancer cells, thereby leading to uncontrolled proliferation. In this context, CDK2 has emerged as an appealing target for anticancer drug development. Herein, we describe discovery a series selective small molecule inhibitors beginning with historical compounds from our ERK2 program (e.g., compound 6). Structure-based design led potent tool 32, where excellent selectivity against CDK4 was achieved...
