A protocol by which ketone or ester enolates and ortho-quinone methides (o-QMs) are generated in situ in a single reaction flask from silylated precursors under the action of anhydrous fluoride is reported. The reaction partners are joined to give a variety of β-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-carbonyl compounds in 32-94% yield in a single laboratory operation. The intermediacy of o-QMs is supported by control experiments utilizing enolate precursors and conventional alkyl halides as competitive alkylating agents and the isolation of 1,5-dicarbonyl products resulting from conjugate additions that do not restore the aromatic system.

HuR modulation counteracts lipopolysaccharide response in murine macrophages.

Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure to macrophages induces an inflammatory response, which is regulated at the transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. HuR (ELAVL1) is an RNA-binding protein that regulates cytokines and chemokines transcripts containing AU/U-rich elements (AREs) and mediates the LPS-induced response. Here, we show that small-molecule tanshinone mimics (TMs) inhibiting HuR-RNA interaction counteract LPS stimulus in macrophages.

An efficient and convergent (4+1)-cycloaddition strategy toward the construction of spirooxindole benzofurans that involves the intermediacy of an isatin-derived oxyphosphonium enolate is presented. Mechanistic investigations employing in situ NMR analysis of the reaction mixture revealed a correlation between phosphonium enolate structure and product distribution that was heavily influenced by the solvent and reaction temperature.

We describe herein a conceptually novel, cooperative Brønsted acid/base catalyzed process for the conjugate addition of cyclic β-keto esters to ortho-quinone methides both generated in situ. Upon hemiacetalization, densely functionalized chiral chromans with two adjacent quaternary and additionally a tertiary stereogenic center were obtained with very good diastereoselectivity (up to >95:5 d.r.

A highly enantioselective method for quick access to dihydrocoumarins is reported. The reaction involves a cooperative catalytic process with carbene and in situ generated Brønsted acid as the catalysts. α-Chloro aldehyde and readily available and stable o-hydroxybenzhydryl amine substrates were used to generate reactive azolium ester enolate and ortho-quinone methide (o-QM) intermediates, respectively, to form dihydrocoumarins with exceptionally high diastereo- and enantioselectivities.

A convergent and highly stereoselective [4+2] cycloaddition of in situ-generated ortho-Quinone methides (o-QMs) and azlactone enols has been successfully developed through a triple Brønsted acid catalysis strategy. This protocol provides an efficient and mild access to various densely functionalized dihydrocoumarins bearing adjacent quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivity.
