Total Synthesis of Lucilactaene, A Cell Cycle Inhibitor Active in p53-Inactive Cells
摘要:
Hetero-bis-metalated 1,3-butadiene is employed in the lynchpin coupling of synthetic fragments of the side chain of the antitumor agent, lucilactaene. Sequential Stille and Suzuki-Miyaura couplings interpolate this unique boron/tin diene into the pentaene chain. The total synthesis of lucilactaene was accomplished efficiently, in just eight linear steps.
4-Benzyl-1H-imidazoles with Oxazoline Termini as Histamine H3 Receptor Agonists
摘要:
Research on the therapeutic applications of the histamine H-3 receptor (H3R) has traditionally focused on antagonists/inverse agonists. In contrast, H3R acyonists have received less attention despite their potential use in several disease areas. The lower availability of H3R agonists not only hampers their full therapeutic exploration, it also prevents an unequivocal understanding of the structural requirements for H3R activation. In the light of these important issues, we present our findings on 4-benzyl-1H-imidazole-based H3R agonists. Starting from two high throughput screen hits (10 and 11), the benzyl side chain was altered with lipophilic groups using combinatorial and classical chemical approaches (compounds 12-31). Alkyne- or oxazolino-substituents gave excellent affinities and agonist activities up to the single digit nM range. Our findings further substantiate the growing notion that basic ligand sidechains are not necessary for H3R activation and reveal the oxazolino group as a hitherto unexplored functional group in H3R research.

A key reactive species, lithium borylcyanocuprate, was isolated and fully characterized in a one‐pot carboboration of alkynes. The carboboration involves a boryllithium, CuCN⋅2 LiCl, an ester‐substituted alkyne, and an organicelectrophile (see scheme). By changing the reaction temperature, the syn/anti ratio of the carboborated products can also be changed.

N‐tert‐butanesulfinylethynylaziridines with lithiumtris(dimethylphenylsilyl)zincate is reported. The reaction is demonstrated to be both stereoselective and stereospecific and to proceed through an anti‐SN2′ process. Further deprotection of the nitrogen atom under mild conditions allows access to 4‐amino‐1‐(dimethylphenylsilyl)allenes with high yields and levels of stereoselectivity.
据报道,N-叔丁烷亚磺酰基乙炔基氮丙啶与三(二甲基苯基甲硅烷基)锌酸锂开环。该反应被证明既具有立体选择性也具有立体特异性,并且会通过抗-S N 2'过程进行。在温和条件下对氮原子进行进一步的脱保护,可以以高收率和立体选择性的水平获得4-氨基-1-(二甲基苯基甲硅烷基)丙烯。
