The design, synthesis and structure-activity relationship studies of a novel series of CRF-1 receptor antagonists, the 2-arylpyrimidines, are described. The effects of substitution on the aromatic ring and the pyrimidine core on CRF-1 receptor binding were investigated. A number of compounds with K-i values below 10 nM and lipophilicity in a minimally acceptable range for a CNS drug (cLogP < 5) were discovered. (c) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Reported here is a straightforward process in which a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene/Rh catalyst system facilitates the preferential addition of hydrogen to the substitutionsites of difluoromethylated and trifluoromethylated arenes and heteroarenes, leading to dearomative reduction. This strategy enables the diastereoselective synthesis of cis-difluoromethylated and cis-trifluoromethylated cycloalkanes

Iron-catalyzed cross-coupling difluoromethylations of the Grignardreagents with difluoroiodomethane provide various aromatic difluoromethyl products in good yields, not employing sterically demanding ligands. Difluoromethylations proceed within 30 min at −20 °C with 2.0 equiv of the Grignardreagents and FeCl3 or Fe(acac)3 (2.5 mol %). Mechanistic investigations clarify difluoromethyl radical intervention;

of aryl boronic acids with bromodifluoroacetate is described. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions with hydroquinone and Fe(acac)3 as additives. Preliminary mechanistic studies reveal that a difluorocarbene pathway is involved in the reaction, which is unusual compared to the most traditional approaches. This reaction has advantages of high efficiency and excellent functional group compatibility
A process for the concurrent transfer of both the NHC ligand and the difluoromethyl group from [(SIPr)Ag(CF2H)] to PdX2 (X = Cl, OAc, and OPiv) for the preparation of [(SIPr)Pd(CF2H)X] complexes is described. These complexes were air-stable and easily underwent transmetalation with aryl pinacolboronate/reductive elimination to generate ArCF2H in high yields. Based on this discovery, the first one-pot
