Acyclic amides as estrogen receptor ligands: Synthesis, binding, activity and receptor interaction
摘要:
We have prepared a series of bisphenolic amides that mimic bibenzyl and homobibenzyl motifs commonly found as substructures in ligands for the estrogen receptor (ER). Representative members were prepared from three classes: N-phenyl benzamides, N-phenyl acetamides, and N-benzyl benzamides; in some cases the corresponding thiocarboxamides and sulfonamides were also prepared. Of these three classes, the N-phenyl benzamides had the highest affinity for ER, the N-phenyl acetamides had lower, and the N-benzyl benzamides were prone to fragmentation via a quinone methide intermediate. In the N-phenyl benzamide series, the highest affinity analogues had bulky N-substituents; a CF3 group, in particular, conferred high affinity. The thiocarboxamides bound better than the corresponding carboxamides and these bound better than the corresponding sulfonamides. Binding affinity comparisons suggest that the p-hydroxy group on the benzoate ring, which contributes most to the binding, is playing the role of the phenolic hydroxyl of estradiol. Computational studies and NMR and X-ray crystallographic analysis indicate that the two anilide systems studied have a strong preference for the s-cis or exo amide conformation, which places the two aromatic rings in a syn orientation. We used this structural template. together with the X-ray structure of the ER ligand binding domain, to elaborate an additional hydrogen bonding site on a benzamide system that elevated receptor binding further. When assayed on the individual ER subtypes, ER alpha and ER beta, these compounds show modest binding affinity preference for ER alpha. In a reporter gene transfection assay of transcriptional activity, the amides generally have full to nearly full agonist character on ERa, but have moderate to full antagonist character on ER beta. One high affinity carboxamide is 500-fold more potent as an agonist on ER alpha than on ER beta. This work illustrates that ER ligands having simple amide core structures can be readily prepared, but that high affinity binding requires an appropriate distribution of bulk, polarity, and functionality. The strong conformational preference of the core anilide function in all of these ligands defines a rather rigid geometry for further structural and functional expansion of these series.

In recent years, H2 activation at non‐transition‐metal centers has met with increasing attention. Here, a system in which H2 is activated and transferred to aldimines and ketimines using substoichiometric amounts of lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide is reported. Notably, the reaction tolerates the presence of acidic protons in the α‐position. Mechanistic investigations indicated that the reaction proceeds

A highly basic phosphine, tris(2,4,6-trimethoxyphenyl)phosphine (TTMPP), catalyzes trifluoromethylation using trifluoromethyltrimethylsilane to give the corresponding trifluoromethylated products in good to high yields, with both carbonylcompounds and imines.

A general method for the trifluoromethylation of imines by using Me3SiCF3 under acidic conditions is described. The reaction is promoted by hydrofluoric acid generated in situ from KHF2 and either TFA or TfOH. A new chemoselectivity pattern was achieved, as the C=N bond was found to be more reactivate than the carbonyl group. The trifluoromethylation reaction is believed to proceed by concerted transfer
Reported herein is the first direct, metal‐catalyzed reductive functionalization of secondary amides to give functionalized amines and heterocycles. The method is shown to have exceptionally broad scope with respect to suitable nucleophiles, which cover both hard and soft C nucleophiles as well as a P nucleophile. The reaction exhibits good chemoselectivity and tolerates several sensitive functional
