The synthesis and pharmacological evaluation of cis- and trans-6-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-ols 4a-c and 5a-c and cis- and trans-4-amino-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-benzoxepin-5-ols 4d-f and 5d-f were carried out. Chemo- and stereoselective synthesis of 5a-f was achieved by reduction of corresponding alpha-amino ketones 3a-f with LiAl(t-BuO)3H. cis-4-Amino-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-benzoxepin-5-ol 4d and trans-4-amino-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-1-benzoxepin-5-ol 5d exhibited marked anorexigenic activity in mice at a dose of LD50 800 and 500 mg/kg and ED50 75 and 55 mg/kg, respectively, while the analog cis-2,3-dihydroxy-6-amino-6,7,8,9-tetrahydro-5H-benzocyclohepten-5-ol 8 showed typical alpha-sympathomimetic activity.

Reactivity of Anomalous Aziridines for Versatile Access to High Fsp Amine Chemical Space.

Department of Chemistry, University of Wisconsin, 1101 University Avenue, Madison, Wisconsin 53706, United States.

ConspectusThe manipulation of strained rings is a powerful strategy for accessing the valuable chemical frameworks present in natural products and active pharmaceutical ingredients. Aziridines, the smallest N-containing heterocycles, have long served as building blocks for constructing more complex amine-containing scaffolds. Traditionally, the reactivity of typical aziridines has been focused on ring-opening by nucleophiles or the formation of 1,3-dipoles.

Palladium-catalysed asymmetric cascade transformations of 4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates to construct complex frameworks.

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Drug-Targeting and Drug Delivery System of the Education Ministry and Sichuan Province, Sichuan Research Center for Drug Precision Industrial Technology, West China School of Pharmacy, Sichuan University Chengdu 610041 China +86 28 85502609.

As a class of readily available and multifunctional building blocks, the chemistry of 4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates remains to be explored. Presented herein is a palladium-catalysed cascade transformative reaction between 4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates and -functionalised activated alkenes. Achiral 1,1-bisalkyl-4-alken-2-ynyl carbonates undergo highly regioselective propargylic substitution with -hydroxyphenyl-tethered activated alkenes, and an auto-tandem vinylogous addition, unusual central-carbon Tsuji-Trost alkylation, protonation and β-H elimination process is followed to furnish fused and spirocyclic frameworks with high structural complexity.

This study examined the chemoselectivity and diastereoselectivity of silyl nitronate alkenyn-nitroethers in Intramolecular Silyl Nitronate Cycloadditions (ISNCs) to produce isoxazole derivatives with interesting medicinal properties. These reactions resulted in the formation of either dihydrofuro[3,4-c]isoxazolines/isoxazolidines and/or alkynyl moieties attached to 2,5-dihydrofuryl carbonyls. This study also discerned the diastereoselectivities of the resulting cyclic adducts and compared them to previous findings.
