Stereoselective Synthesis of Highly Functionalized Aminobenzothiazole-Fused Spirooxindole Derivatives: in silico and in vitro Anti-Diabetic Studies
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/a-2161-0283 A series of highly functionalized spirooxindole pyrro­lizidine/pyrrolothiazole derivatives have been synthesized by the three-component 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction of benzothiazolyl amides with isatin-based azomethine ylides. The pharmacologically significant spirooxindole derivatives bearing one quaternary carbon and four stereocenters were obtained in excellent yields (up to 93%). The compounds were screened for their anti-diabetic activity against two enzymes, α-glucosidase and α-amylase. The results exhibited potent inhibitory activity against these enzymes, especially N-(be...

Visible-Light-Mediated Oxidation of 1-Benzyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines with Dioxygen: A Switchable Synthesis of 1-Benzoylisoquinolines and 1-Benzoyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/a-2160-8903 A visible-light-mediated metal-free oxidation of 1-benzyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines (1-BnDHIQs) for the switchable preparation of a wide range of 1-benzoylisoquinolines (BzIQs) and 1-benzoyl-3,4-dihydroisoquinolines (BzDHIQs) is realized using dioxygen as the oxidant. This protocol provides a facile route for the efficient synthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids. Mechanistic investigations suggest that a radical pathway and an ionic pathway may exist simultaneously, with both pathways proceeding via a common key peroxide intermediate to give the oxidized products.

Efficient Synthesis of Chirally Enriched 1H-Imidazo[1,2-b]pyrazole- and 4H-Imidazo[1,2-b][1,2,4]triazole-Based Bioactive Glycohybrids
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/a-2157-9100 Carbohydrates, traditionally known for their energy-providing role, have gained significant attention in drug discovery due to their diverse bioactivities and stereodiversity. However, pure carbohydrate molecules often exhibit limited bioactivity and suboptimal chemical and physical characteristics. To address these challenges, bioactive scaffolds have been incorporated into carbohydrate to enhance their bioactivity and improve their overall properties. Among the various heterocyclic structural motifs known for their pharmacological properties, imidazo-pyrazole and imidazo-triazole skelet...

Palladium/Charcoal-Catalysed Olefin Reduction for the Simple and Efficient Synthesis of Substituted gem-Diborylalkanes
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/a-2147-1336 gem-Diborylalkanes have recently emerged as valuable synthons for diverse C–C bond-forming reactions. They represent an important class of bifunctional reagents that can be applied for the synthesis of simple to complex skeletons. Herein, we report a Pd-catalysed hydrogenation method for the synthesis of gem-diborylalkanes from the corresponding gem-diborylalkenes, which are themselves prepared from the corresponding aldehydes and ketones using known procedures. In addition, transformations of two representative gem-diborylalkane products are discussed leading to a range of funct...

Oxidative Cyclization Reactions Catalyzed by Designed Transition-Metal Complexes: A New Strategy for the Synthesis of Flavone, Quinolone, and Benzofuran Derivatives
Synthesis DOI: 10.1055/s-0042-1751489 An efficient and convenient synthetic protocol is reported for the synthesis of 2-phenyl-4H-chromen-4-one, 2-phenylquinolin-4(1H)-one, and 11H-benzofuro[3,2-b]chromen-11-one derivatives from 2′-hydroxychalcones, 2′-aminochalcones, and 3-hydroxyflavones, respectively, using transition-metal catalysts and TEMPO as an oxidizing agent. This catalytic heterocyclization approach involves in situ free-radical generation as phenoxyl radicals were detected by EPR spectroscopic study and H2O2 was formed. The present method has numerous advantages, such as high atom-economy, less hazardous sy...

Pd-Catalyzed Remote δ-C(sp2)–H Functionalization in Phenylalaninol: Expanding the Library of Phenylalaninols
We report the Pd(II)-catalyzed, picolinamide-directed δ-C(sp2)–H (ortho) functionalization of phenylalaninol scaffolds. Assembling of (ortho) δ-C–H arylated, alkylated, benzylated, alkenylated, brominated, and iodinated phenylalaninol scaffolds was accomplished. The δ-C(sp2)–H arylation reaction of phenylalaninol occurred under neat conditions. Hydrolysis of the picolinamide moiety and synthetic utility of the δ-C(sp2)–H arylated substrates were explored. We have also shown the preparation of some modified Matijin–Su (aurantiamide) derivatives using the bis δ-C–H (ortho) arylated phenylalaninol compounds o...

Synthesis and Immunological Evaluation of Escherichia coli O1- Derived Oligosaccharide –Protein Conjugates toward Avian Pathogenic Escherichia coli O1 Vaccine Development
In this study, the first synthesis of the pentasaccharide repeating units of the O1B and O1C antigens was successfully achieved. The synthesis and immunological evaluation of their conjugates with bovine serum albumin (BSA) were conducted. Only the O1A-pentasaccharide structure is a glycotope candidate for APEC O1. Keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH)–O1A-pentasaccharide conjugate was also synthesized, and its immunogenicity was evaluated by the ELISA assay. The efficient production of antibodies capable of binding to both APEC O1 LPS and the O1A-pentasaccharide structure was observed, indicating that O1A-pentasaccharide is a...
