Photocyclization of 1,2-diarylethylenes in primary amines. A convenient method for the synthesis of dihydro aromatic compounds and a means of reducing the loss of methyl groups during the cyclization of o-methylstilbenes
3D-QSAR assisted identification of FABP4 inhibitors: An effective scaffold hopping analysis/QSAR evaluation
摘要:
Following on the recent publication of pharmacologically relevant effects, small molecule inhibitors of adipocyte fatty-acid binding protein 4 (FABP4) have attracted high interest. FABP4 is mainly expressed in macrophages and adipose tissue, where it regulates fatty acid storage and lipolysis, being also an important mediator of inflammation. In this regard, FABP4 recently demonstrated an interesting molecular target for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, other metabolic diseases and some type of cancers. In the past years, hundreds of effective FABP4 inhibitors have been synthesized. In this paper, a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model has been produced, in order to predict the bioactivity of FABP4 inhibitors. The methodology has been combined with a scaffold-hopping approach, allowing to identify three new molecules that act as effective inhibitors of this protein. These molecules, synthesized and tested for their FABP4 inhibitor activity, showed IC(50 )values between 3.70 and 5.59 mu M, with a high level of agreement with the predicted values.

Transferhydrogenative coupling of styrene with primaryalcohols using the precatalyst HClRu(CO)(PCy3)2 modified by AgOTf or HBF4 delivers branched or linear adducts from benzylic or aliphatic alcohols, respectively. Related 2‐propanol mediated reductive couplings also are described.

Benzylic chlorides react in aqueous dibasic potassium phosphate under silver catalysis with aromatic aldehydes in the presence of zinc dust to give 1,2-diaryl alcohols in moderate to good yields. Dimerization to bibenzyls and reduction of the halide are important side reactions. A wide range of substituted aromatic and heteroaromatic aldehydes and of substituted benzylic chlorides can be used. Aliphatic

A practical procedure has been developed for the dynamickineticresolution of 1,2-diarylethanols. This procedure employs a highly enantioselective lipase from Pseudomonas stutzeri (trade name, lipase TL) as the resolutioncatalyst and a rutheniumcomplex as the racemizationcatalyst. Sixteen 1,2-diarylethanols have been efficiently resolved to provide their acetyl derivatives with good yields (95-97%)

The hydroboration of stilbenes and related disubstituted alkenes catalysed by QUINAP complexes may proceed with high enantio- and regioselectivity; rhodium and iridium catalysts give the same product regioisomer but opposite enantiomers.
