Sequential Cyclization/Silylation of Enynes Catalyzed by an Organoyttrium Complex
摘要:
The organoyttrium complex Cp*2YCH3.THF (Cp* = C5Me5) has been shown to be an effective precatalyst for the selective sequential cyclization/silylation of 1,6- and 1,7-enynes.. The catalyst's ability to insert the alkyne in preference to the alkene in a regioselective manner, combined with the high diastereoselectivity of the insertion process, yields a product with only one stereochemistry about the exocyclic olefin. The reaction proceeds under extremely mild conditions with short reaction times. Cyclization of enynes functionalized in the allylic position affords silylated carbocycles with high diastereoselectivities and excellent yields.

Tandem insertion of 1,1‐dihalo‐1‐lithio species (halocarbenoids) and lithium alkynides into zirconacyclopentenes and zirconcyclopentanes affords carbocyclic products in high yields via an unusual rearrangement that probably involves addition of an organolithium species to the β‐position of a zirconium–alkyne complex to give an alkenylidene–zirconate species. A wide variety of cyclopentanoid organic

The crystal structure of LRH-1 ligand binding domain bound to our previously reported agonist 3-(E-oct-4-en-4-y1)-1-phenylamino-2-phenyl-cis-bicyclo[3.3.0]oct-2-ene 5 is described. Two new classes of agonists in which the bridgehead anilino group from our first series was replaced with an alkoxy or 1-ethenyl group were designed, synthesized, and tested for activity in a peptide recruitment assay. Both new classes gave very active compounds, particularly against SF-1. Structure-activity studies led to excellent dual-LRH-1/SF-1 agonists (e.g., RJW100) as well as compounds selective for LRH-1 (RJW101) and SF-1 (RJW102 and RJW103). The series based on 1-ethenyl substitution was acid stable, overcoming a significant drawback of our original bridgehead anilino-substituted series. Initial studies on the regulation of gene expression in human cell lines showed excellent, reproducible activity at endogenous target genes.

We report the identification of substituted cis-bicyclo[3.3.0]-oct-2-enes as small molecule agonists of subfamily V orphan nuclear receptors (NR5A), liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) and steroidogenic factor-1 (SF-1). Using fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based biochemical assays, compound 5a (GSK8470) was identified as a high-affinity ligand for LRH-1 and SF-1. In liver cells, 5a increased
