A series of unsaturated carbonyls, quinones, and pyridinium salts have been effectively reduced to the corresponding saturated carbonyls, dihydroxybenzenes, and hydropyridines in moderate to high yields with tetrahydroxydiboron/water as a mild, convenient, and metal-free reduction system. Deuterium-labeling experiments have revealed this protocol to be an exclusive transfer hydrogenation process from
Protein kinase B (PknB) is an essential serine/threonine protein kinase required for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb) cell division and cell-wall biosynthesis. A high throughput screen using PknB identified a (E)-4-oxo-crotonic acid inhibitor, named YH-8, which was used as a scaffold for SAR investigations. A significant improvement in enzyme affinity was achieved. The results indicated that the
A new asymmetric organocatalytic synthesis of spirocyclopropaneoxindoles has been developed. The method is based on the Michael addition of N-Boc-protected 3-chlorooxindole to unsaturated 1,4-dicarbonyl compounds, affording trans-substituted spirocyclopropaneoxindolederivatives in high diastereo- and enantioselectivity.

An efficient method for the diversity-oriented synthesis of spiropentadiene pyrazolones and 1H-oxepino[2,3-c]pyrazoles is reported. The methodology attributes O-acylation of phosphorus zwitterions which were formed by a tandem phospha-1,6-addition of PBu3 to α,β,γ,δ-unsaturated pyrazolones, further generating betaine intermediates that preferentially resulted in the aforementioned cyclic products in
报道了一种高效的方法来合成螺环戊二烯吡唑啉酮和1 H-氧代庚并[2,3- c ]吡唑。该方法学归因于将PBu 3串联磷酸1,6-加成到α,β,γ,δ-不饱和吡唑酮上形成的两性磷的O-酰化作用,进一步产生了甜菜碱中间体,该中间体优先产生上述环状产物以多元化为导向的方式。机理研究表明,甜菜碱的形成是通过分子内维蒂希反应或空前的δ- C-酰化/环化/维蒂希反应提供产物的关键步骤。
Design, synthesis, and bioevaluation of a novel class of (E)-4-oxo-crotonamide derivatives as potent antituberculosis agents
A series of novel (E)-4-oxo-2-crotonamide derivatives were designed and synthesized to find potent antituberculosis agents. All the target compounds were evaluated for their in vitro activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv(MTB). Results reveal that 4-phenyl moiety at part A and short methyl group at part C were found to be favorable. Most of the derivatives displayed promising activity against
