•O, N-chelate stabilized diarylborinates prepared and fully characterized.•Cross-coupling of aryl chlorides with O, N-chelate stabilized diarylborinates achieved.•A six-membered O, N-chelate to B balances the stability and reactivity of diarylborinates.•Structural effects from both aryl chlorides and diarylborinates investigated.A series of O, N-chelated diarylborinates have been prepared and tested as arylboron counterpart alternative to oxygen-labile diarylborinic acids in palladium catalyzed Suzuki coupling of aryl chlorides. 3-Dimethylaminopropyl diarylborinates (B-5a), featuring a six-membered O, N-chelated boron ring that was confirmed by single crystal X-ray diffraction, displayed a delicately balanced stability and reactivity. Their cross-coupling with structurally various aryl chlorides could be effected as efficiently as that of the parent diarylborinic acids by using 0.1∼1mol% Pd(OAc)2/IPr/P(OPh)3 as catalyst system, to provide the corresponding biaryls in good to excellent yields.Download high-res image (119KB)Download full-size image

N-Arylation of (benz)imidazoles and amines with diarylborinic acids as cost-effective aryl source has been efficiently effected via Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed Chan-Lam coupling in assistance of tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) in methanol and pyridine (Py) in dichloromethane, respectively, in air at room temperature. The diarylborinic acids could be well accommodated by the Chan-Lam coupling oxidative conditions containing a proper combination of bases and solvents. The steric hindrance appeared to affect the copper-catalyzed N-arylation using the high-order arylboron reagent more significantly than the electronic factors, especially for low reactive anilines and aliphatic amines.Download high-res image (99KB)Download full-size image

A novel series of sigma (σ) receptor ligands based on an alkoxyisoxazole scaffold has been designed and synthesized. Preliminary receptor binding assays identified highly potent (Ki < 1 nM) and selective σ1 ligands devoid of binding interactions with the monoamine transporters DAT, NET, and SERT. In particular, compound 53 was shown to possess significant antinociceptive activity in the mouse formalin-induced inflammation pain model when administered intraperitoneally at 40 and 80 mg/kg. Initial pharmacokinetics evaluation indicated an excellent brain exposure following oral dosing in mice, suggesting that further investigation into the use of alkoxyisoxazoles as σ1 ligands for antinociception is warranted. This study supports the notion that selective σ1 antagonism could be a useful strategy in the development of novel antipain therapy.

A convenient and practical approach to coumestans has been successfully developed by using a one-pot tandem demethylation/annulation/oxidation reaction sequence that employs easily accessible 2,3-bis(2-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxopropanals as the starting material. This synthetic protocol provided a variety of coumestan derivatives in good to excellent yields under mild conditions. The exploration of biologically active coumestan compounds is a potential application of this synthetic method.

An efficient method for construction of 3-arylquinolin-4(1H)-ones via in situ Meinwald rearrangement/intramolecular reductive cyclization of 2′-nitrochalcone epoxides has been developed. The practical approach is of excellent functional groups compatibility with as high as 98% yield under mild reaction conditions. Trapping and NMR analysis about the key intermediates of the transformation provided insights to propose a plausible mechanism for the intramolecular reductive cyclization. Moreover, further derivation successfully furnished hydroxyl substituted and N-methyl substituted derivatives which may provide a promising potential application in exploring biologically active compounds of 3-arylquinolin-4(1H)-ones.

An efficient and practical method for the synthesis of unsymmetric benzils from readily available β-ketoaldehydes has been developed. Various unsymmetric 1,2-diaryldiketones bearing functional groups have been obtained in good to excellent yields under mild reaction conditions. A plausible mechanism was proposed, and α,α-dichloroketone was considered as the key intermediate. The generation of α,α-dichloroketones from β-ketoaldehydes may undergo the following steps: (1) oxidation by sodium hypochlorite, (2) decarboxylation, and (3) chlorination by Cl2 generated from sodium hypochlorite.

An efficient method for preparation of 3-formyl-2-arylbenzo[b]furan derivatives 4 from 3-chloro-2-(2-methoxyaryl)-1-arylprop-2-en-1-one 2 was developed, and the desired product was obtained in good to excellent yields. By converting 2-(2-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-3-phenylpropanal 1 to 2, the regioselectivity problem occurring in the reaction when using 1 as the starting material was successfully avoided. Furthermore, a one-pot procedure for the successive demethylation, cyclization, and hydrolysis was evolved, although the intermediate 3-(dibromomethyl)-2-phenylbenzo[b]furan 3a could be isolated. A plausible mechanism was proposed based on some in situ investigations.

A dearomatization strategy of β-enamino esters was developed to construct indenoazepine derivatives. The oxidative dearomatization was combined with a base-promoted tandem Michael addition/polycyclization and an acid-catalyzed aromatization. The nonaromatic structure of the Michael adducts might be essential to the realization of the 7-endo-dig cyclization.

A series of betulinic acid (BA) derivatives were designed and synthesized by introducing various fused heterocyclic rings at C-2 and C-3 positions. Their inhibitory effects of RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis were evaluated by using a cell-based tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity assay. To our delight, most of these compounds exhibited a dramatic increase in inhibitory potency, compared with BA. The most potent compound, 20, showed 66.9% inhibition even at the low concentration of 0.1 μM, which was about 200-fold more potent than the lead compound BA. What’s more, the cytotoxicity assay on RAW264.7 suggested that the inhibition of 20 on osteoclast differentiation did not result from its cytotoxicity. The primary mechanistic study indicated that 20 could inhibit osteoclastogenesis-related marker gene expression levels of cathepsin K and TRAP. More importantly, 20 could attenuate bone loss of ovariectomy mouse in vivo. Therefore, these BA derivatives could be used as potential leads for the development of a new type of antiosteoporosis agent.

Four new organic dyes with N-carboxymethyl pyridinium as electron acceptors/anchoring groups were designed and synthesized. The optical and electrochemical properties were characterized by UV–vis, fluorescence spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. The absorption spectra of the four pyridinium dyes were in the range of 450–650 nm. The dye with triphenylamine as the electron donor shows a solar-energy-to-electricity conversion efficiency (η) of 2.33% in comparison with the reference Ru-complex (N719 dye) with a η value of 5.45% under the same experimental conditions. The dye with phenoxazine as the electron donor gives broad IPCE spectra in the range of 400–750 nm. All these new dyes are simple in structure, very easy to synthesize, and gives high Voc.Graphical abstractHighlights► Four novel N-carboxymethyl pyridinium dyes were designed and synthesized. ► The new dyes are simple in structure, very easy to synthesize, and gives high Voc. ► CB1 obtained a η value of 2.33% (the reference Ru-complex N719 dye 5.45%).

Abstract
Three di- and tri-branched pyridinium salts with ferrocene ends and thienyl or bithienyl bridges, (E,E)-N-methyl-2,4,6-tris{2-[5-(2-ferrocenylvinyl)thien-2-yl]vinyl} pyridinium iodide, (E,E)-N-methyl-2,6-bis- {2-[5′-(2-ferrocenylvinyl)-2,2′-bithien-5-yl]vinyl} pyridinium iodide, and (E,E)-N-methyl-2,4,6-tris-{2-[5′-(2-ferrocenylvinyl)-2,2′-bithien-5-yl]vinyl}pyridinium iodide, were designed and successfully synthesized. The electrochemical properties of these compounds were primarily investigated, showing that most of these multiferrocenyl pyridinium salts are potential electrochemical molecular materials with good oxidation-reduction reversibility.

A series of maslinic acid derivatives have been synthesized by introducing various fused heterocyclic rings at C-2 and C-3 positions. Their inhibitory effects on PTP1B, TCPTP and related PTPs are evaluated. Most of the compounds exhibited a dramatic increase in inhibitory potency and selectivity, the two most potent PTP1B inhibitors 20 (IC50 = 0.61 μM) and 29 (IC50 = 0.64 μM) showed about 10-fold more potent than lead compound maslinic acid. More importantly, 29 possesses the best selectivity of 6.9-fold for PTP1B over TCPTP.A series of heterocyclic ring-substituted maslinic acid derivatives were prepared and subsequently evaluated on PTP1B, TCPTP and related PTPs in order to increase PTP1B inhibitory activity and especially selectivity for PTP1B over TCPTP.

Highly selective dimerization of α-methylstyrene (AMS) was effected using a Brönsted acidic ionic liquid, [Hmim]+B, as solvent as well as catalyst, providing the industrial high-value olefin, 2,4-diphenyl-4-methyl-1-pentene (1-PT). The desired dimer 1-PT could be obtained in 90% yield at 96% conversion in the dimerization of AMS under optimized conditions. Features of the procedure include use of readily available ionic liquid-catalyst, exclusion of volatile organic solvents, higher selectivity and efficiency for 1-PT.
