A novel series of pivaloyloxy benzene derivatives has been identified as potent and selective human neutrophil elastase (HNE) inhibitors. Convergent syntheses were developed in order to identify the inhibitors which are intravenously effective in an animal model. A compound of particular interest is the sulfonanilide-containing analogues. Structure-activity relationships are discussed. Structural requirements

Silyloxyarenes were utilized as electrophilic coupling partners with amines in the synthesis of aniline derivatives. A diverse range of amine substrates were used, including cyclic or acyclic secondary amines, secondary anilines, and stericallyhindered primary anilines. Additionally, a range of stericallyhindered and unhindered primary aliphatic amines were employed, which have previously been challenging with
The nickel‐catalyzed α‐arylation of ketones with readily available phenolderivatives (esters and carbamates) provides access to useful α‐arylketones. For this transformation, 3,4‐bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)thiophene (dcypt) was identified as a new, enabling, air‐stable ligand for this transformation. The intermediate of an assumed CO oxidative addition was isolated and characterized by X‐ray crystal‐structure
A nickel-catalyzed reductive deoxygenation of aryl alkyl ethers and aryl pivalates has been developed. Hydrosilanes serve as a mild reducing agent. The present protocol allows the use of a pivalate group as a robust and traceless steering group in arene functionalization reactions.

Ni‐catalyzed stannylation of aryl esters with air‐ and moisture‐insensitive silylstannyl reagents via C −Ocleavage is described. This protocol is characterized by its wide scope, including challenging combinations, thus enabling access to versatile building blocks and orthogonal C−heteroatom bond formations.
