A selective removal of the secondary hydroxy group from ortho-dithioacetal-substituted diarylmethanols.

ABSTRACT: We present a successful deoxygenation reaction of ortho-1,3-dithianylaryl(aryl)methanols which enables a selective removal of the secondary hydroxy group in presence of the 1,3-dithianyl moiety under reductive conditions. This reaction proceeds well with ZnI₂/Na(CN)BH₃ in dichloroethane or benzene for both unsubstituted and substituted aryls (by electron-rich groups). This is leading to formyl-protected diarylmethanes with potential application in the synthesis of new pharmaceuticals and optoelectronic materials. This synthetic approach gives an access to a wide variety of functionalized ortho-1,3-dithianylaryl(aryl)methanes in 26-95% yields and is recommended for the substrates containing sulfur atoms, for which transition metal-induced reactions fail.

Selective and Efficient Generation of ortho-Brominated para-Substituted Phenols in ACS-Grade Methanol.

Project description:The mono ortho-bromination of phenolic building blocks by NBS has been achieved in short reaction times (15-20 min) using ACS-grade methanol as a solvent. The reactions can be conducted on phenol, naphthol and biphenol substrates, giving yields of >86% on gram scale. Excellent selectivity for the desired mono ortho-brominated products is achieved in the presence of 10 mol % para-TsOH, and the reaction is shown to be tolerant of a range of substituents, including CH3, F, and NHBoc.

Hydrogen Bond Directed ortho-Selective C-H Borylation of Secondary Aromatic Amides.

Project description:Reported is an iridium catalyst for ortho-selective C-H borylation of challenging secondary aromatic amide substrates, and the regioselectivity is controlled by hydrogen-bond interactions. The BAIPy-Ir catalyst forms three hydrogen bonds with the substrate during the crucial activation step, and allows ortho-C-H borylation with high selectivity. The catalyst displays unprecedented ortho selectivities for a wide variety of substrates that differ in electronic and steric properties, and the catalyst tolerates various functional groups. The regioselective C-H borylation catalyst is readily accessible and converts substrates on gram scale with high selectivity and conversion.

Hydroxy group-enabled highly regio- and stereo-selective hydrocarboxylation of alkynes.

Project description:Here we present an example of utilizing hydroxy groups for regioselectivity control in the addition reaction of alkynes-a highly efficient Pd-catalyzed syn-hydrocarboxylation of readily available 2-alkynylic alcohols with CO in the presence of alcohols with an unprecedented regioselectivity affording 3-hydroxy-2(E)-alkenoates. The role of the hydroxy group has been carefully studied. The synthetic potential of the products has also been demonstrated.

Flow carbonylation of sterically hindered ortho-substituted iodoarenes.

Project description:The flow synthesis of ortho-substituted carboxylic acids, using carbon monoxide gas, has been studied for a number of substrates. The optimised conditions make use of a simple catalyst system compromising of triphenylphosphine as the ligand and palladium acetate as the pre-catalyst. Carbon monoxide was introduced via a reverse "tube-in-tube" flow reactor at elevated pressures to give yields of carboxylated products that are much higher than those obtained under normal batch conditions.

Unusual Reactivities of ortho-Hydroxy-β-nitrostyrene.

Project description:Nitrostyrene derivatives are widely used in organic syntheses as a substrate for Michael addition, photoisomerization and cycloaddition. In contrast, ortho-hydroxy derivatives exhibit unusual behaviors in these reactions. Conjugate addition proceeded upon treatment of the ortho-hydroxy-β-nitrostyrene with an amine; however, subsequent C-C bond cleavage readily occurred to afford the corresponding imine. Moreover, conversion of the trans-isomer to a cis-isomer did not occur efficiently, even when UV light was irradiated. We studied these unusual behaviors of β-nitrostyrene, focusing on the role of the ortho-hydroxy group.

ortho-Substituted 2-Phenyldihydroazulene Photoswitches: Enhancing the Lifetime of the Photoisomer by ortho-Aryl Interactions.

Project description:Photochromic molecules are systems that undergo a photoisomerization to high-energy isomers and are attractive for the storage of solar energy in a closed-energy cycle, for example, in molecular solar thermal energy storage systems. One challenge is to control the discharge time of the high-energy isomer. Here, we show that different substituents in the ortho position of a phenyl ring at C-2 of dihydroazulene (DHA-Ph) significantly increase the half-life of the metastable vinylheptafulvene (VHF-Ph) photoisomer; thus, the energy-releasing VHF-to-DHA back-reaction rises from minutes to days in comparison to the corresponding para- and meta-substituted systems. Systems with two photochromic DHA-Ph units connected by a diacetylene bridge either at the para, meta and ortho positions and corresponding to a linear or to a cross-conjugated pathway between the two photochromes are also presented. Here, the ortho substitution was found to compromise the switching properties. Thus, irradiation of ortho-bridged DHA-DHA resulted in degradation, probably due to the proximity of the different functional groups that can give rise to side-reactions.

Crystal structures of three ortho-substituted N-acyl-hydrazone derivatives.

Project description:To explore the effect of the nature of substitutions on the structural parameters and hydrogen-bond inter-actions in N-acyl-hydrazone derivatives, the crystal structures of three ortho-substituted N-acyl-hydrazone derivatives, namely (E)-N-{2-[2-(2-chloro-benzyl-idene)hydrazin-yl]-2-oxoeth-yl}-4-methyl-benzene-sulfon-amide, C16H16ClN3O3S (I), (E)-N-{2-[2-(2-methyl-benzyl-idene)hydrazin-yl]-2-oxoeth-yl}-4-methyl-benzene-sulfonamide, C17H19N3O3S (II), and (E)-N-{2-[2-(2-nitro-benzyl-idene)hydrazin-yl]-2-oxoeth-yl}-4-methyl-benzene-sulfonamide, C16H16N4O5S (III), have been determined. The structures of the three compounds display similar mol-ecular conformations and hydrogen-bond patterns. The hydrazone part of the mol-ecule, C-C-N-N=C, is almost planar in all the compounds, with the C-C-N-N and C-N-N=C torsion angles being 179.5?(3) and 177.1?(3)°, respectively, in (I), -179.4?(2) and -177.1?(3)° in (II) and -179.7?(2) and 173.4?(2)° in (III). The two phenyl rings on either side of the chain are approximately parallel to each other. In the crystal, the mol-ecules are linked to each other via N-H?O hydrogen bonds, forming ribbons with R22(8) and R22(10) ring motifs. The introduction of electron-withdrawing groups (by a chloro or nitro group) to produce compounds (I) or (III) results in C-H?O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions involving the sulfonyl O atoms of adjacent ribbons, forming layers parallel to the ab plane in (I) or a three-dimensional network in (III). In (III), one O atom of the nitro group is disordered over two orientations with refined occupancy ratio of 0.836?(12):0.164?(12).

Structure-based design of N-substituted 1-hydroxy-4-sulfamoyl-2-naphthoates as selective inhibitors of the Mcl-1 oncoprotein.

Project description:Structure-based drug design was utilized to develop novel, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate-based small-molecule inhibitors of Mcl-1. Ligand design was driven by exploiting a salt bridge with R263 and interactions with the p2 pocket of the protein. Significantly, target molecules were accessed in just two synthetic steps, suggesting further optimization will require minimal synthetic effort. Molecular modeling using the Site-Identification by Ligand Competitive Saturation (SILCS) approach was used to qualitatively direct ligand design as well as develop quantitative models for inhibitor binding affinity to Mcl-1 and the Bcl-2 relative Bcl-xL as well as for the specificity of binding to the two proteins. Results indicated hydrophobic interactions in the p2 pocket dominated affinity of the most favourable binding ligand (3bl: Ki = 31 nM). Compounds were up to 19-fold selective for Mcl-1 over Bcl-xL. Selectivity of the inhibitors was driven by interactions with the deeper p2 pocket in Mcl-1 versus Bcl-xL. The SILCS-based SAR of the present compounds represents the foundation for the development of Mcl-1 specific inhibitors with the potential to treat a wide range of solid tumours and hematological cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia.
