ACAT inhibitors derived from hetero-Diels-Alder cycloadducts of thioaldehydes
摘要:
Acyl-CoA:cholesterol acyltransferase (ACAT) is the enzyme largely responsible for intracellular cholesterol esterification. A systemic inhibitor of ACAT is believed to be able to slow or even reverse the atherosclerotic process. Towards that goal, a series of cyclic sulfides, derived from the hetero-Diels-Alder reaction of thioaldehydes with 1,3-dienes, and bearing carboxamide substituents, were prepared and evaluated for in vitro (in several tissues and species) and ex vivo ACAT inhibition. Minor changes in subsequent structure were found to have a significant effect in optimization of the biological activity of this series of compounds.

Copper(I) hydride species, prepared in situ in tetrahydrofuran using NaBH4–MgBr2–Et3N–CuCl or NaH–MgBr2–CuCl reagent systems, convert terminal alkynes into (E,E)-1,3-dienes in good yields.

A convenient method for the [2+2+2] cyclotrimerisation of alkynes using Ti(OiPr)4/nBuLi is presented. Homotrimerisation of arylacetylenes proceeds within minutes with excellent regioselectivity. Moreover, the intermolecular construction of ABB heterotrimers can be achieved selectively from two different alkynes with similar electronic properties. The method is also suitable for the synthesis of pyridines.

Cis-2,5-disubstituted-2,5-dihydrothiofene-1,1-dioxides, generated by a retro Diels-Alder reaction, lead with high stereoselectivity to (E,E)-1,4-disubstituted-1,3-dienes. The efficiency of this method is illustrated by the synthesis of two dienic insect sex pheromones.
A Pd(II)-catalyzed [3,3]-sigmatropicrearrangement is used to transfer chirality from an enantio-enriched alk-3-ene-1,2-diol to a C 2 -symmetrical alk-2-ene-1,4-diol which, in turn, can be converted into a precursor of (-)-methylenolactocin through an additional [3,3]-sigmatropicrearrangement (either Johnson orthoester or Ireland-Claisen rearrangement).
Homo- and cross-coupling involving alkenyl halides have been performed efficiently using an electroassisted nickel-complex catalysis. Valuable product such as conjugated dienes, beta,gamma- or gamma,delta-unsaturated esters, ketones, or nitriles, as well as alkenylated aryl compounds are thus prepared with high yields and high stereoselectivity. Partial isomerization is only observed in a few cases, when the alkenyl halide is involved in a late step of the catalytic cycle. This is the case in the preparation of (Z,Z)-1,3-diene.
