RESUMO
Highly selective and divergent syntheses, which are crucial in both organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, involve significant advancements in compound accessibility. By modifying α-cyano esters into α-cyano ketones, the synthesis pathway broadens to include a diverse range of 4-CN, 5-amino, and 5-arylamino derivatives of 1,2,3-triazoles, which are achieved notably through the Dimroth rearrangement. This versatility extends further with the potential for a triple cascade reaction, leading to the production of carboximidamide compounds, which are facilitated by the Cornforth rearrangement. Advancements in compound accessibility not only expand the repertoire of synthesized molecules but also open new avenues for potential pharmacological agents. Building on these findings, we have developed an innovative and efficient method for the divergent synthesis of functionalized 1,2,3-triazoles. This method strategically utilizes α-cyanocarbonyls and arylazides by harnessing their reactivity and compatibility to orchestrate a variety of molecular transformations. By optimizing these substrates, our goal is to simplify synthetic routes, improve product yields, and accelerate the discovery and development of new chemical entities with promising biological activities.
RESUMO
We herein evaluate a biological applicability of 1,3-substituted cuneanes as an isostere of m-substituted benzenes based on its structural similarity. An investigation of a method to obtain 1,3-substituted cuneanes by selective isomerization of 1,4-substituted cubanes enables this attempt by giving a key synthetic step to obtain a cuneane analogs of pharmaceuticals having m-substituted benzene moiety. Biological evaluation of the synthesized analogs and in silico study of the obtained result revealed a potential usage of cuneane skeleton in medicinal chemistry.

The propargylation of aldehydes promoted by microwave irradiation using allenylboron compounds in a chemo- and regioselective way is described. The corresponding products were obtained in short reaction time, high yield and purity without the need of any solvent when allenylboronic acid pinacol ester was used, or using a minimal amount of acetone when potassium allenyltrifluoroborate was used.
RESUMO
4-Oxoquinolines are a class of organic substances of great importance in medicinal chemistry, due to their biological and synthetic versatility. N-1-Alkylated-4-oxoquinoline derivatives have been associated with different pharmacological activities such as antibacterial and antiviral. The presence of a carboxamide unit connected to carbon C-3 of the 4-oxoquinoline core has been associated with various biological activities. Experimentally, the N-ethylation reaction of N-benzyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide occurs at the nitrogen of the oxoquinoline group, in a regiosselective way. In this work, we employed DFT methods to investigate the regiosselective ethylation reaction of N-benzyl-4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxamide, evaluating its acid/base behavior and possible reaction paths.
RESUMO
Regioselective glycosylations allow planning simpler strategies for the synthesis of oligosaccharides, and thus reducing the need of using protecting groups. With the idea of gaining further understanding of such regioselectivity, we analyzed the relative reactivity of the OH-3 and OH-4 groups of 2,6-diprotected methyl α- and ß-galactopyranoside derivatives in glycosylation reactions. The glycosyl acceptors were efficiently prepared by simple methodologies, and glycosyl donors with different reactivities were assessed. High regioselectivities were achieved in favor of the 1â3 products due to the equatorial orientation of the OH-3 group. A molecular modeling approach endorsed this general trend of favoring O-3 substitution, although it showed some failures to explain subtler factors governing the difference in regioselectivity between some of the acceptors. However, the Galp-(ß1â3)-Galp linkage could be regioselectively installed by using some of the acceptors assayed herein.
RESUMO
A novel ynamide preactivation strategy enables the use of otherwise incompatible reagents and allows preparation of α,ß-disubstituted enamides with high regio- and stereoselectivity. Mechanistic analysis reveals the intermediacy of a triflate-bound intermediate as a solution-stable, effective keteniminium reservoir, whilst still allowing subsequent addition of organometallic reagents.
RESUMO
Blastose, a natural disaccharide found in honey, is usually found as a byproduct of fructo-oligosaccharide synthesis from sucrose with fructosyltransferases. In this study, we describe a novel two-step biosynthetic route to obtain blastose, designed from a detailed observation of B. subtilis levansucrase (SacB) acceptor structural requirements for fructosylation. The strategy consisted first in the synthesis of the trisaccharide O-ß-d-Fruf-(2â6)-O-α-d-Glcp-(1â1)-α-d-Glcp, through a regioselective ß-d-transfructosylation of trehalose (Tre) which acts as acceptor in a reaction catalyzed by SacB using sucrose or levan as fructosyl donor. In this reaction, levansucrase (LS) transfers regioselectively a fructosyl residue to either C6-OH group of the glucose residues in Tre. The resulting trisaccharide obtained in 23% molar yield based on trehalose, was purified and fully characterized by extensive NMR studies. In the second step, the trisaccharide is specifically hydrolyzed by trehalase, to obtain blastose in 43.2% molar yield based on the trisaccharide. This is the first report describing the formation of blastose through a sequential transfuctosylation-hydrolysis reaction.

The effect of an extra EWG in the reactivity and regioselectivity in Diels-Alder reactions of ß-cyanolevoglucosenone and 4 different dienes was studied by a joint computational and experimental study. Conceptual DFT analysis successfully predicted an important enhancement in the reactivity, and correctly anticipated the regioselectivity in the reactions with isoprene. However, this static treatment failed when dealing the regiochemical preference of the reactions involving a substituted anthracene as diene. MPW1K/6-31G* calculations correctly reproduced the experimental observations. Based on the collected data, we found that when dealing with dienes and dienophiles with no clear electronically activated position, the ease of pyramidalization of the interacting atoms dictates the regioselectivity of the DA reaction.

A new series of novel thiazole-based 8,9-dihydro-7H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepines 6a-g and 7a-g were obtained with high regioselectivity from the reaction of triamino- or tetraaminopyrimidines 4 and 5 with α,ß-unsaturated carbonyl compounds 3a-g based on 2,4-dichlorothiazol-5-carbaldehyde 1. Twelve of the synthesized compounds were selected and tested by US National Cancer Institute (NCI) for their antitumor activity against 60 different human tumor cell lines. Compounds 7d and 7g showed important GI50 ranges of 1.28-2.98 µM and 0.35-2.78 µM respectively under in vitro assays. In addition, 6a-g and 7a-g were tested for antifungal properties against the clinical important fungi Candida albicans and Cryptococcus neoformans. Although these compounds showed moderate activities against C. albicans, the 2-amino derivatives 7a-g and mainly 7a and 7b, showed high activity against standardized and clinical isolates of C. neoformans with MIC50 = 7.8-31.2 µg/mL, MIC80 = 15.6-31.2 µg/mL and MIC100 = 15.6-62.5 µg/mL. In addition, since both compounds were fungicide rather than fungistatic these thiazole-based 8,9-dihydro-7H-pyrimido[4,5-b][1,4]diazepines appear as good candidates for further development not only as antifungal but also as antitumor drugs.

Infrared irradiation promoted the Diels-Alder cycloadditions of exo-2-oxazolidinone dienes 1-3 with the Knoevenagel adducts 4-6, as dienophiles, leading to the synthesis of new 3,5-diphenyltetrahydrobenzo[d]oxazol-2-one derivatives (7, 9, 11 and 13-17), under solvent-free conditions. These cycloadditions were performed with good regio- and stereoselectivity, favoring the para-endo cycloadducts. We also evaluated the one-pot three-component reaction of active methylene compounds 20, benzaldehydes 21 and exo-2-oxazolidinone diene 2 under the same reaction conditions. A cascade Knoevenagel condensation/Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction was observed, resulting in the final adducts 13-16 in similar yields. These procedures are environmentally benign, because no solvent and no catalyst were employed in these processes. The regioselectivity of these reactions was rationalized by Frontier Molecular Orbital (FMO) calculations.
