Keywords: Iron / Palladium / Indole / Bis(indolyl)methane Indoles were prepared by annulation of the parent alkynylanilines with the use of a new FeCl 3 -PdCl 2 catalytic combination. High yields were obtained by using low loadings of the transition-metal complex (FeCl 3 -PdCl 2 : 2 and 1 mol-%, respectively). One-pot accesses to bis(indolyl)methanes and trisubstituted indoles through annulation/Friedel-
International audienceHydroamination reactions of vinylarenes with nonnucleophilic nitrogen derivatives (p-toluenesulfonamide, p-nitroaniline, p-nitrobenzamide, ...) catalyzed by FeCl3 are described. Interestingly, these reactions are catalyzed by an environmentally friendly and an inexpensive catalyst in the absence of any ligand or cocatalyst
Owing to their significant abundance in natural products, chiral beta,beta'-disubstituted alpha-amino acids remain an important synthetic objective. Emphasis has been focused in this critical review on the great diversity of enantio- and diastereoselective methodologies to reach these highly functionalized compounds. The oldest and cutting edge synthetic methods are described in parallel with the synthesis of many relevant biologically active targets (224 references).
Protease activated receptors (PARs) or thrombin receptors constitute a class of G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) implicated in the activation of many physiological mechanisms. Thus, thrombin activates many cell types such as vascular smooth muscle cells, leukocytes, endothelial cells, and platelets via activation of these receptors. In humans, thrombin-induced platelet aggregation is mediated by one subtype of these receptors, termed PAR1. This article describes the discovery of new antagonists of these receptors and more specifically two compounds: 2-[5-oxo-5-(4-pyridin-2-ylpiperazin-1-yl)penta-1,3-dienyl]benzonitrile 36 (F 16618) and 3-(2-chlorophenyl)-1-[4-(4-fluorobenzyl)piperazin-1-yl]propenone 39 (F 16357), obtained after optimization. Both compounds are able to inhibit SFLLR-induced human platelet aggregation and display antithrombotic activity in an arteriovenous shunt model in the rat after iv or oral administration. Furthermore, these compounds are devoid of bleeding side effects often observed with other types of antiplatelet drugs, which constitutes a promising advantage for this new class of antithrombotic agents.
The synthesis of the central tryptophan residue of celogentin C is described featuring a Pd-catalyzed imine/enamine Hecktype reaction, a Pd-catalyzed Suzuki coupling, and an asymmetric Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
