O‐Heterocyclic structures such as 2,3‐dihydrobenzofurans are key motifs in many natural compounds and pharmaceuticals. Enantioselective formation of chiraldihydrobenzofurans and analogues was achieved through a copper‐catalyzed desymmetrization strategy with a chiral cyclic 1,2‐diamine. A broad range of substrates are compatible with this CuI‐diamine catalytic system and afford the desired coupling
auxiliary-directed asymmetric alkylation and the Evans asymmetric aldol reaction as the chirality-inducing steps. The 1H and 13C NMR data as well as the specific rotation value of natural NFAT-133 were not identical to those of the proposed structure, but were in good agreement with those of its C10 epimer. This led us to conclude that the absoluteconfiguration of NFAT-133 should be revised to 10S, 11R, and 12S.

Pd(II)-catalyzed ortho-C H iodination reactions of phenylacetic acid substrates have been achieved using recyclable Pdl(2) as the precatalyst. This class of substrates is incompatible with the classic amide formation/ortho-lithiation/iodination sequence. The power of this new technology is demonstrated by facile drug functionalization and drastically shortened syntheses of the drugs diclofenac and lumiracoxib.
Synthesis and biological evaluation of loxoprofen derivatives
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) achieve their anti-inflammatory actions through an inhibitory effect on cyclooxygenase (COX). Two COX subtypes, COX-1 and COX-2, are responsible for the majority of COX activity at the gastrointestinal mucosa and in tissues with inflammation, respectively. We previously suggested that both gastric mucosal cell death due to the membrane permeabilization activity of NSAIDs and COX-inhibition at the gastric mucosa are involved in NSAID-induced gastric lesions. We have also reported that loxoprofen has the lowest membrane permeabilization activity among the NSAIDs we tested. In this study, we synthesized a series of loxoprofen derivatives and examined their membrane permeabilization activities and inhibitory effects on COX-1 and COX-2. Among these derivatives, 2-4'-hydroxy-5-[(2-oxocyclopentyl)methyl]biphenyl-2-yl}propanoate 31 has a specificity for COX-2 over COX-1. Compared to loxoprofen, oral administration of 31 to rats produced fewer gastric lesions but showed an equivalent anti-inflammatory effect. These results suggest that 31 is likely to be a therapeutically beneficial and safer NSAID. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
