We report the development and implementation of a cheminformatics tool which aids in the design of compounds during exploratory chemistry and lead optimization. The Heterocyclic Regioisomer Enumeration and MDDR Search (HREMS) tool allows medicinal chemists to build greater structural diversity into their synthetic planning by enabling a systematic, automated enumeration of heterocyclic regioisomers of target structures. To help chemists overcome biases arising from past experience or synthetic accessibility, the HREMS tool further provides statistics on clinical testing for each enumerated regioisomer substructure using an automated search of a commercial database. Ready access to this type of information can help chemists make informed choices on the targets they will pursue being mindful of past experience with these structures in drug development. This tool and its components can be incorporated into other cheminformatics workflows to leverage their capabilities in triaging and in silico compound enumeration.

Organic compounds with 1,3-diketone or 3-amino enone functional groups are extremely important as they can be converted into a plethora of carbo- or heterocyclic derivatives or can be used as ligands in the formation of metal complexes. Here, we have achieved the preparation of a series of non-symmetrical β-ketoenamines (O,N,N proligand) of the type (4-MeOCH)C(=O)CH=C(R)NH(Q) obtained through the Schiff base condensation of 1,3-diketones (1-anisoylacetone, 1-anisyl-3-(4-cyanophenyl)-1,3-propanedione, and 1-anisyl-3-(4,4,4-trifluorotolyl)-1,3-propanedione) functionalized with electron donor and electron-withdrawing substituents and 8-aminoquinoline (R = CH, 4-CHCN, 4-CHCF; Q = CHN). Schiff base ketoimines with a pendant quinolyl moiety were isolated as single regioisomers in yields of 22-56% and characterized with FT-IR, H NMR, and UV-visible spectroscopy, as well as single-crystal X-ray crystallography, which allowed for the elucidation of the nature of the isolated regioisomers.

We have investigated the base-induced long-range halogen dance reactions of 4,5-dibromo- or 4-bromo-5-iodothiazoles bearing sulfur-containing aromatic heterocycles at the C2-position. We have found that the reaction occurs in bithiazole regioisomers or (thiophenyl)thiazole derivatives, in which the C-5 halo group on the thiazole halogen donor regioselectively migrates to a halogen acceptor ring after treatment with lithium bis(trimethylsilyl)amide. The substrate with a thiophen-2-yl substituent required highly basic P
Intramolecular Charge Transfer in Antiaromatic Donor/Acceptor-Fused s-Indacenes.

Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of four donor/acceptor-fused s-indacenes via the late-stage oxidation of a family of unsymmetrical benzofuran/benzothiophene-s-indacene regioisomers. A thorough study of their properties through experimental and computational analysis has revealed the effect of asymmetry on the molecular properties associated with antiaromaticity, as well as a strong correlation between antiaromaticity and intramolecular charge transfer (ICT). The strength of the charge transfer depends on the fusion orientation of the donor and acceptor motifs relative to the s-indacene core.

We have developed a high yielding synthesis of indolizine and directly elaborated the molecule into three optically active indolizinylalanine regioisomers. The protocols exploit metal catalyzed coupling of indolizinyl-halides with organozinc reagents derived from carbamoylated iodoalanine esters. The scalable protocols provide products in a form amenable to solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS).

A nontoxic bismuth-promoted multicomponent synthesis of 5-aminotetrazoles and bistetrazoles is reported. The reaction of phenyl isothiocyanate, NaN, and amine (primary aliphatic, aromatic, and aliphatic diamine) promoted by Bi(NO)·5HO under microwave heating affords good yields, short reaction times, simple workup, and purification without column chromatography. A set of diagnostic H NMR signals was identified as a guide for quickly elucidating the exclusive (or main) regioisomer formed, with the stronger electron donor group located at heterocyclic nitrogen 1.
