moieties, but methods for their preparation typically possess numerous inefficiencies. Presented here is a methodology for the two‐step, one pot preparation of unsymmetrical stilbenes via sequential Heck reactions. The first Heck reaction with ethylene gas was analysed as a function of temperature and pressure for electronically differentiated naphthyl bromides and model‐aided reaction optimization was utilized

paper reports an investigation of photochemical cyclodehydrogenation for the preparation of polycyclic azaarenes. Various naphthoquinolines and naphthoisoquinolines were obtained from 2-, 3-, and 4-[2-(1- and 2-naphthyl)vinyl]pyridine. 4-[2-(3-Phenanthryl)vinyl]pyridine gave pyreno[1,10- HIJ]isoquinoline. An efficient preparation of (2-arylvinyl)pyridines is described.
Palladium-Catalyzed Dehydrative Heck Olefination of Secondary Aryl Alcohols in Ionic Liquids: Towards a Waste-Free Strategy for Tandem Synthesis of Stilbenoids
All in one: A tandemstrategy has been developed wherein secondaryarylalcohols are directly coupled with aryl halides to provide stilbenoids through a dehydrativeHeck sequence in the ionicliquid [hmim]Br, and with water as a by‐product under microwave irradiation (see scheme). Classical methods do not permit this sequence to proceed in one pot, and some methods require multiple steps. hmim=1‐n

Tryptophan catabolism mediated by indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is an important mechanism of peripheral immune tolerance contributing to tumoral immune resistance. IDO inhibition is thus an active area of research in drug development. Recently, our group has shown that tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (TDO), an unrelated hepatic enzyme also catalyzing the first step of tryptophan degradation, is also expressed in many tumors and that this expression prevents tumor rejection by locally depleting tryptophan. Herein, we report a structure- activity study on a series of 3-(2-(pyridyl)ethenyl)indoles. More than 70 novel derivatives were synthesized, and their TDO inhibitory potency was evaluated. The rationalization of the structure-activity relationships (SARs) revealed essential features to attain high TDO inhibition and notably a dense H-bond network mainly involving His(55) and Thr(254) residues. Our study led to the identification of a very promising compound (58) displaying good TDO inhibition (K-i = 5.5 mu M), high selectivity, and good oral bioavailability. Indeed, 58 was chosen for preclinical evaluation.
