Analogues of Acifran: Agonists of the High and Low Affinity Niacin Receptors, GPR109a and GPR109b
摘要:
Recently identified GPCRs, GPR109a and GPR109b, the high and low affinity receptors for niacin, may represent good targets for the development of HDL elevating drugs for the treatment of atherosclerosis. Acifran, an agonist of both receptors, has been tested in human subjects, yet until recently very few analogs had been reported. We describe a series of acifran analogs prepared using newly developed synthetic pathways and evaluated as agonists for GPR109a and GPR109b, resulting in identification of compounds with improved activity at these receptors.

β-(E)-vinyl stannane. The catalyst system is able to provide the corresponding vinyl stannane in selectivities which surpasses that which is typically afforded under palladium catalysis. Additionally, a telescoped hydrometallation/cross-coupling sequence has been developed, allowing for application of the vinyl stannanes without excessive manipulation or purification of the intermediate stannane.
photoactivation of the electrondonor–acceptor (EDA) complex. The reaction avoids the requirement for photocatalysts, bases, hydrogen donor reagents, any other additives, and harsh conditions, enabling the facile synthesis of various functionalized γ-hydroxy (E)-alkenylsulfonyl fluorides. These multifunctional sulfonyl fluorides can be further diversified, providing access to various privileged molecules
基于电子供体-受体 (EDA) 复合物的光活化,提出了使用 FSO 2 Cl 进行炔丙醇的自由基氢氟磺酰化。该反应不需要光催化剂、碱、供氢试剂、任何其他添加剂和苛刻的条件,从而能够轻松合成各种官能化的γ-羟基( E )-烯基磺酰氟。这些多功能磺酰氟可以进一步多样化,提供各种具有生物相关性的特殊分子。
Rh(III)-Catalyzed [4 + 1] Annulation of Benzamides with Vinyl Cyclic Carbonates for the Synthesis of Isoindolinones
A Rh(III)-catalyzed C–H bond activation and subsequent [4+1] annulation of benzamides with vinyl cyclic carbonates have been developed for the synthesis of isoindolinones, in which the electron-rich alkenes could serve as one-carbon units. This reaction proceeds smoothly with high regioselectivity under oxidant- and silver-free conditions and exhibits broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance

Alkyl aryl (hetaryl) ketones react with acetylene under atmospheric pressure in the superbasic system KOH-EtOH-H2O-DMSO at 10-15A degrees C (2 h) to give the corresponding tertiary propargyl alcohols in up to 91% yield. The procedure requires no large excess of KOH and low-boiling inflammable solvents, produces few wastes, and is safe and convenient on the laboratory scale; there are no limitations for its large-scale application.

Propargylic alcohols, alkylaryl(hetaryl)ethynyl carbinols, under transition-metal-free conditions (KOH/DMSO, 70-80 degrees C, 10-15 min) unexpectedly undergo stereoselective cyclodimerization to 7-methylene-6,8-dioxabicyclo[3.2.1]octanes having the scaffold of known insect pheromones and marine toxins. Under acetylenic pressure the yields of bicyclic ketals reach 80%. In all the cases, the cyclodimers are formed exclusively as one diastereomer. (C) 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
