Historically accessed through two-electron, anionic chemistry, ketones, alcohols, and amines are of foundational importance to the practice organic synthesis. After placing this work in proper historical context, Article reports development, full scope, a mechanistic picture for strikingly different way forging such functional groups. Thus, carboxylic acids, once converted redox-active esters (RAEs), can be utilized as formally nucleophilic coupling partners with other derivatives (to...
Abstract Saturated bioisosteres of ortho ‐disubstituted benzenes (bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes) were synthesized, characterized and validated. These cores incorporated into the bioactive compounds Valsartan, Boskalid Fluxapyroxad instead benzene ring. The saturated analogues showed a similar level antifungal activity compared to that .
A useful protocol for achieving decarboxylative cross-coupling (DCC) of redox-active esters (RAE, isolated or generated in situ) and halo(hetero)arenes is reported. This pragmatically focused study employs a unique Ag-Ni electrocatalytic platform to overcome numerous limitations that have plagued this strategically powerful transformation. In its optimized form, coupling partners can be combined surprisingly simple way: open the air, using technical-grade solvents, an inexpensive ligand Ni...
Abstract The ortho -substituted phenyl ring is a basic structural element in chemistry. It found more than three hundred drugs and agrochemicals. During the past decade, scientists have tried to replace bioactive compounds with saturated bioisosteres obtain novel patentable structures. However, most of research this area has been devoted replacement para ring. Here we developed improved physicochemical properties: 2-oxabicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes. Crystallographic analysis revealed that these...
After more than 20 years of trials, a practical scalable approach to fluoro-substituted bicyclo[1.1.1]pentanes (F-BCPs) has been developed. The physicochemical properties the F-BCPs have studied, and core was incorporated into structure anti-inflammatory drug Flurbiprofen in place fluorophenyl ring.
Abstract A general approach to 3‐azabicyclo[3.1.1]heptanes by reduction of spirocyclic oxetanyl nitriles was developed. The mechanism, scope, and scalability this transformation were studied. core incorporated into the structure antihistamine drug Rupatidine instead pyridine ring, which led a dramatic improvement in physicochemical properties.
1,2-Disubstituted bicyclo[2.1.1]hexanes have been synthesized, characterized, and biologically validated as saturated bioisosteres of the ortho -substituted benzene ring.
The Pauson-Khand reaction has in the past 50 years become one of most common cycloaddition reactions chemistry. Coupling two unsaturated bonds with carbon monoxide, transformation remains limited to CO as a C
A chemical reagent to access methyl sulfones has been developed. Its reaction with various bis-nucleophiles leads the rapid formation of previously unknown heteroaromatic sulfones. Analogous strategy can also be used construct alkyl-, CHF2-, CF3- and even bicyclo[1.1.1]pentane-containing derivatives. These compounds have demonstrated a high potential for use in medicinal chemistry coordination chemistry. Methyl sulfone is standard polar substituent found different agro chemicals or drugs but...
Abstract Photobiological processes in nature are usually triggered by nonpeptidic chromophores or modified side chains. A system is presented which the polypeptide backbone itself can be conformationally switched light. An amino acid analogue was designed and synthesized based on a reversibly photoisomerizable diarylethene scaffold. This incorporated into cyclic of antimicrobial peptide gramicidin S at several sites. The biological activity resulting peptidomimetics could then effectively...
A novel approach to agrochemically important difluoromethyl-substituted pyrazoles has been developed based on the elusive reagent CF2 HCHN2 , which was synthesized (generated in situ) for first time and employed [3+2] cycloaddition reactions with alkynes. The reaction is extremely practical as it a one-pot process, does not require catalyst or isolation of potentially toxic explosive gaseous intermediate, proceeds common solvent, namely chloroform, air. also scalable allows preparation...
