Highly Effective Vinylogous Mukaiyama−Michael Reaction Catalyzed by Silyl Methide Species Generated from 1,1,3,3-Tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)propane
摘要:
Silyl methide species in situ generated from 1,1,3,3-tetrakis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)propane (Tf2CHCH2CHTf2) performed as an excellent acid catalyst for the vinylogous Mukaiyama-Michael reaction of alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones with 2-silyloxyfurans. Notably, the required loading of Tf2CHCH2CHTf2 to obtain the 1,4-adducts in reasonable yield was significantly low (from 0.05 to 1.0 mol %). This carbon acid-mediated VMM reaction provides a powerful synthetic methodology to construct highly substituted gamma-butenolide structure.

Protein kinase B (PknB) is an essential serine/threonine protein kinase required for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) cell division and cell-wall biosynthesis. A high throughput screen using PknB identified a (E)-4-oxo-crotonic acid inhibitor, named YH-8, which was used as a scaffold for SAR investigations. A significant improvement in enzyme affinity was achieved. The results indicated that the
A series of novel (E)-4-oxo-2-crotonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized to find potent antituberculosis agents. All the target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv(MTB). Results reveal that 4-phenyl moiety at part A and short methyl group at part C were found to be favorable. Most of the derivatives displayed promising activity against
