Traditional drug discovery methods such as wet-lab testing, validations, and synthetic techniques are time-consuming and expensive. Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches have progressed to the point where they can have a significant impact on the drug discovery process. Using massive volumes of open data, artificial intelligence methods are revolutionizing the pharmaceutical industry.

Nowadays, nucleic acid derivatives capable of modulating gene expression at the RNA level have gained widespread recognition as promising therapeutic agents. A suitable degree of biological stability of oligonucleotide therapeutics is required for in vivo application; this can be most expeditiously achieved by the chemical modification of the internucleotidic phosphate group, which may also affect their cellular uptake, tissue distribution and pharmacokinetics. Our group has previously developed a strategy for the chemical modification of the phosphate group via the Staudinger reaction on a solid phase of the intermediate dinucleoside phosphite triester and a range of, preferably, electron deficient organic azides such as sulfonyl azides during automated solid-phase DNA synthesis according to the conventional β-cyanoethyl phosphoramidite scheme.

Various 4-vinyl-1,2-oxaphospholane 2-oxides are prepared in good to excellent yields from vinyloxiranes and in situ-generated phosphenes from phosphoryl diazomethanes via the phosphene-induced ring expansion of oxiranes. The reaction is a novel and expeditious strategy for the synthesis of 1,2-oxaphospholane 2-oxide derivatives, featuring ring expansion of readily available starting materials, high atom economy, no catalyst, a fast reaction rate, broad functional group tolerance, high yields, and separable diastereomers.

The expeditious construction of tetrasubstituted furans Cu/base-promoted cascade reactions of terminal alkynes with 1,2-diketones is described. This reaction proceeds smoothly, involving the formation of multiple chemical bonds tolerating a wide range of functional groups. The mechanism underlying these transformations has been thoroughly investigated, suggesting that 1,3-diyne serves as a key intermediate generated through oxidative coupling facilitated by the Cu catalyst.

Expeditious and environmentally benign synthesis of imidazo[4,5,1-]quinolines sequential Povarov reaction/reductive cyclization.

Org Biomol Chem

January 2025

Laboratorio de Síntesis Orgánica Sostenible, Departamento de Química, Universidad Nacional de Colombia-Sede Bogotá, Carrera 45 # 26-85, A.A 5997, Bogotá, Colombia.

In this contribution, a novel, simple, diastereoselective and environmentally benign two-step diversity-oriented synthesis of imidazo[4,5,1-]quinolines is described for the first time. The synthesis of the target compounds involves a deep eutectic solvent-mediated one-pot Povarov reaction leading to the obtention of 8-nitrotetrahydroquinolines, followed by a microwave-assisted reductive cyclocondensation employing different aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes. The target compounds were obtained in up to 70% overall yield starting from commercially available -nitroanilines, natural phenylpropanoids (-anethole and -isoeugenol) and aromatic or aliphatic aldehydes.
