Catalytic α-olefination of nitriles using primary alcohols, via dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols with nitriles, is presented. The reaction is catalyzed by a pincer complex of an earth-abundant metal (manganese), in the absence of any additives, base, or hydrogen acceptor, liberating dihydrogen and water as the only byproducts.

An oxygen-dependent ligand-controlled chemoselective synthesis of vinyl nitriles and E-olefins by coupling a variety of alcohols and benzyl cyanides, catalyzed by a well-characterized, air-stable, easy-to-prepare Fe(II) catalyst (1a) bearing a redox-active arylazo pincer (L1a) is reported. The azo-moiety of the ligand backbone acts as an electron and hydrogen reservoir, enabling catalyst 1a to efficiently

The ligand-regulated nuclear receptor peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor beta/delta (PPAR beta/delta) is a potential pharmacological target due to its role in disease-related biological processes. We used TR-FRET-based competitive ligand binding and coregulator interaction assays to screen 2693 compounds of the Open Chemical Repository of the NCl/NIH Developmental Therapeutics Program for inhibitory PPAR beta/delta ligands. One compound, (Z)-3-(4-dimethylamino-phenyl)-2-phenyl-acrylonitrile, was used for a systematic SAR study. This led to the design of derivative 37, (Z)-2-(2-bromopheny1)-3-[4-(1-methyl-piperazine)amino]phenyl}acrylonitrile (DG172), a novel PPAR beta/delta-selective ligand showing high binding affinity (IC50 = 27 nM) and potent inverse agonistic properties. 37 selectively inhibited the agonist-induced activity of PPAR beta/delta, enhanced transcriptional corepressor recruitment, and down-regulated transcription of the PPAR beta/delta target gene Angptl4 in mouse myoblasts (IC50 = 9.5 nM). Importantly, 37 was bioavailable after oral application to mice with peak plasma levels in the concentration range of its maximal inhibitory potency, suggesting that 37 will be an invaluable tool to elucidate the functions and therapeutic potential of PPAR beta/delta.

The condensation of a series of arylacetonitriles with aldehydes can be carried out by mixing equivalent amounts of reagents with neat powdered KOH at room temperature for 3-60 min depending on the aldehyde steric hindrance. At higher temperature (110 degrees C), yields were generally higher and purity increased within very short reaction times (1-5 min). With pentamethylphenylacetonitrile, a phase transfer agent was necessary to give a satisfactory yield. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
