Structure-guided drug design led to the identification of a class of spirocyclic ureas which potently inhibit human 11beta-HSD1 in vitro. Lead compound 10j was shown to be orally bioavailable in three species, distributed into adipose tissue in the mouse, and its (R) isomer 10j2 was efficacious in a primate pharmacodynamic model.

Synthesis of spirocyclic 1,2-diamines by dearomatising intramolecular diamination of phenols.
Chem Commun (Camb)

School of Chemistry, University of Leeds, Leeds, LS2 9JT, UK.
The stereocontrolled synthesis of complex spirotricyclic systems containing an embedded -1,2-diaminocyclohexane unit is reported, based upon a dearomatising oxidation of phenols bearing pendant ureas capable of acting as double nucleophiles. This complexity-generating transformation yields products with rich functionality suitable for application in the synthesis of potentially bioactive compounds.

By changing the dimethylamino to a nitro group, a novel synthetic access to the spirocyclic opioid analgesic cebranopadol was developed that is much more efficient compared with the established route. On the basis of the α-acidity of α-nitrotoluene, the two-fold Michael addition to acrylate gave an acyclic precursor compound, which was easily transformed by Dieckmann condensation and decarboxylation to the cyclohexanone derivative needed for the annulation of the indole ring by an oxa-Pictet-Spengler reaction. As an additional benefit, the reduction of the nitro group furnished an amine, which could be late-stage-diversified to carboxamides, sulfonamides, ureas, and -alkyl congeners.

Treatment of propargyl ureas or guanidines with iodosobenzene diacetate results in an oxidative tandem amination/etherification dearomatizing spirocyclization. This transformation leads directly to the complete framework of the Leucetta alkaloids, spirocalcaridine A and B.

International Joint Research Laboratory of Nano-Micro Architecture Chemistry (NMAC), Department of Organic Chemistry, College of Chemistry, Jilin University, 2699 Qianjin Street, Changchun 130012, China.
An unprecedented approach for the synthesis of imine derivatives was achieved via a Pd(II)-catalyzed dearomatization reaction of N-aryl ureas with internal alkynes. The corresponding spirocyclic imine derivatives were obtained with 20 examples in good to excellent yields. Mechanistic investigation indicated that an interesting 1,3-palladium migration process led to the α-regioselective dearomatization when 2-naphthyl ureas were used as the substrates.
