Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is a promising target for the development of drugs to treat neurological diseases. In search of new FAAH inhibitors, we identified 2-(4-cyclohexylphenoxy)-N-(3-(oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-2-yl)phenyl)acetamide, 4g, with an IC50 of 2.6 µM as a chemical starting point for the development of potent FAAH inhibitors. Preliminary hit-to-lead optimisation resulted in 2-(4-phe

A new, green, safe, cost-effective and highly efficient electrochemical approach for the methoxymethylation of alcohols and phenols was successfully developed. The methodology was also applied to the synthesis of substituted acetals.
A concise process for the stereoselective synthesis of chiral cis-3-alkoxy-2-carbomethoxy medium-ring oxacycles from (R)-3-(3-butenyl)-4-propynoyloxazolidin-2-one (1) was developed. The process includes five major steps: (i) hetero-Michael reaction between an alcohol and 1, (ii) stereoselective reduction of the resulting ketone, featuring stereochemical assistance of the neighboring oxazolidin-2-one

α-Allyloxy-substituted α,β-unsaturated esters 1a - r have been prepared in 5 steps from commercially available starting materials. The key sequence of the synthesis is an aldol addition between an α-allyloxy-substituted ester 2a - i and an aldehyde R1CHO followed by mesylation and DBU mediated elimination to afford the 2-alkoxycarbonyl-substituted allyl vinyl esters 1a - r. The E/Z ratio of the newly generated vinyl ether double bond is apparently determined by the steric bulk of the vinyl ether double bond substituent R1. Z:E ratios from 3:2-9:1 were obtained.
Scope and limitations of the Pd(II)-catalyzed cycloisomerization of functionalized 1,5-hexadienes have been studied. In situ NMR experiments indicate a challenging competition between various reaction pathways. A careful balance between substrate structure, nature of the precatalyst, and reaction conditions was required to gain access to a useful building block for sesquiterpene total synthesis.
