Molecular design of small organic molecules based on structural information for a conformationally constrained peptide that binds to G-CSF receptor
摘要:
Based on structural information for a peptide (P8-2KAQ) that binds to granulocyte-colony stimulating factor receptor (G-CSFR), small ligands with a biaryl scaffold were designed and their binding affinities were evaluated. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
N-Heterocyclic Carbene Catalyzed Carba-, Sulfa-, and Phospha-Michael Additions with NHC·CO2 Adducts as Precatalysts
摘要:
N-heterocyclic carbene catalyzed Michael additions have been revisited with 1,3-dialkyl- or 1,3-diarylimidazol(in)ium-2-carboxylates, that is, NHC center dot CO2 adducts, as the source of the free NHC catalysts in solution. Using these precatalysts, a number of efficient carba-, sulfa-, and phospha-Michael additions were achieved very conveniently, without the need for an external strong base to generate the NHC by deprotonation of an azolium salt. To further expand the scope of the procedure, some NHC-catalyzed sulfa-Michael/aldol organocascades were also investigated.
