Readily available biphenyl derivatives containing an alkyne unit at one of their ortho-positions are converted into substituted phenanthrenes on exposure to catalytic amounts of either PtCl2, AuCl, AuCl3, GaCl3 or InCl3 in toluene. This 6-endo-dig cyclization likely proceeds through initial pi-complexation of the alkyne unit followed by interception of the resulting eta2-metal species by the adjacent
Reported herein is further insight into the photochemical behaviour of 3-aryl-N-(arylsulfonyl)-propiolamides, which provides a straightforward way to access meaningful phenanthrenes. Mechanistic investigation indicated that aryl migration, C–C coupling, 1,3-hydrogen shift, desulfonylation and elimination were involved in the process. Moreover, this protocol allowed for scale-up using a flow reactor

6-exo/endo-Trig intramolecular additions of aryl radicals to electron-rich, unsubstituted and electron-deficient arenes have all been shown to proceed efficiently to give the corresponding phenanthrenes in high yield.
The present invention relates to novel synthetic toll like receptor antagonist. The present invention in particular provides compounds, methods and compositions for specifically inhibiting immune stimulation involving TLR ligands, especially TLR-4. The compounds are potentially useful in treatment of inflammation, autoimmunity, allergy, asthma, graft rejection, graft versus host disease, infection, sepsis, cancer and immunodeficiency.
Exploiting the π-Acceptor Properties of Carbene-Stabilized Phosphorus Centered Trications [L<sub>3</sub>P] <sup>3+</sup>: Applications in Pt(II) Catalysis
Reaction of tris(dimethylaminocyclopropenium) substituted phosphine 1 with K2PtCl4 afforded the bench stable complex 3 which upon treatment with Ag[CB11H6Cl6] turned out to be an excellent catalyst for the transformation of a variety of ortho-biaryl substituted alkynes into polycyclic homo- and heteroarenes of different size, shape, and curvature through a 6-endo-dig cyclization. This constitutes the first example ever reported of using a P-1-centered trication as ligand in catalysis. The strong pi-acceptor character of 1 that derives from its three positive charges substantially increases the intrinsic pi-acidity of Pt in complex 1.PtCl2 and dramatically enhances its ability to activate pi-systems toward nucleophilic attack. As a consequence, a remarkable acceleration of the model transformation is observed when compared with other classical pi-acceptor ligands such as P(OPh)(3) or P(C6F5)(3). Moreover, the employment of 1 as ligand also expands the scope of this reaction to previously inaccessible substitution patterns. Kinetic studies and deuterium labeling experiments as well as density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed in order to explain these findings.
