The selective synthesis of 4-alkyl/aryl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione in THF and water-dependent switchable product ketothioamide is demonstrated. The presented method describes explicitly the synthesis of the extremely rare positional isomer 4-alkyl/aryl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione, a unique structure distinct from another positional isomer, 5-alkyl/aryl-3H-1,2-dithiole-3-thione. The unique umpolung of the nitromethyl group is exploited for solvent selective nucleophilic sulfur and amine addition. The dual role of the -CBr3 moiety in the substrate as a synthetic equivalent and an eliminating group is demonstrated.

The synthetic approach based on a sequence of Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling and annulation through intramolecular oxidative cyclodehydrogenation has been used for the construction of novel 4-alkyl-4-thieno[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[2,3-]quinoxaline derivatives. For the first time, these polycyclic compounds were evaluated for antimycobacterial activity, including extensively drug-resistant strains. A reasonable bacteriostatic effect against HRv was demonstrated.

Invariant natural killer T (iNKT) cells are a subset of innate T cells displaying powerful immunomodulatory functions. Despite extensive preclinical research on the use of iNKT agonist and antagonist for various diseases, translating these findings into successful clinical applications has proven challenging, leaving no approved treatments to date. Efforts to optimize therapeutic outcomes by developing alternative glycolipids to α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer or KRN7000), the prototypical iNKT antigen, have shown improved preclinical results.

DNA Replication across α-l-(3'-2')-Threofuranosyl Nucleotides Mediated by Human DNA Polymerase η.

Biochemistry

October 2024

Department of Biochemistry, School of Medicine, Vanderbilt Ingram Cancer Center, and Vanderbilt Center for Structural Biology, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee 37232, United States.

α-l-(3'-2')-Threofuranosyl nucleic acid (TNA) pairs with itself, cross-pairs with DNA and RNA, and shows promise as a tool in synthetic genetics, diagnostics, and oligonucleotide therapeutics. We studied primer insertion and extension reactions catalyzed by human trans-lesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerase η (hPol η) opposite a TNA-modified template strand without and in combination with -alkyl thymine lesions. Across TNA-T (tT), hPol η inserted mostly dAMP and dGMP, dTMP and dCMP with lower efficiencies, followed by extension of the primer to a full-length product.

Synthesis of 4-Alkyl-2-chloro Imidazoles Using Intermolecular Radical Additions.

Org Lett

July 2024

Laboratoire de Synthèse Organique, CNRS, École Polytechnique, Palaiseau 91128, France.

Here, we report an intermolecular radical addition-based reaction sequence that permits preparation of functionalized imidazoles via a 5-step/3-pot procedure. In contrast to traditional, transition-metal mediated protocols, which generally provide access to 2-substituted imidazoles, the strategy described here allows incorporation of a structurally diverse range of complex alkyl side chains at the 4-position. This work demonstrates that intermolecular free-radical addition reactions are a powerful alternative to traditional methods used to synthesize medicinally important heterocyclic frameworks.
