Despite its immense popularity and utility, homogeneous catalysis suffers from two major drawbacks.…”
This account summarizes Pd(0)-catalyzed Mo(CO)6-mediated gas-free carbonylative reactions published in the period October 2011 to May 2018. Presented reactions include inter- and intramolecular carbonylations, carbonylative cross-couplings, and carbonylative multicomponent reactions using Mo(CO)6 as a solid source of CO. The presented methodologies were developed mainly for small-scale applications, avoiding the problematic use of gaseous CO in a standard laboratory. In most cases, the reported Mo(CO)6-mediated carbonylations were conducted in sealed vials or by using two-chamber solutions.1 Introduction2 Recent Developments2.1 New CO Sources2.2 Two-Chamber System for ex Situ CO Generation2.3 Multicomponent Carbonylations3 Carbonylations with N and O Nucleophiles4 Carbonylative Cross-Coupling Reactions with Organometallics5 Carbonylative Cascade Reactions6 Carbonylative Cascade, Multistep Reactions7 Summary and Outlook

“…39 VAChT is a transmembrane protein expressed in cholinergic neurons in CNS and located on presynaptic vesicles of cholinergic neurons. VAChT transports the neurotransmitter ACh into the vesicles for storage and release, thus being is a key feature in the cholinergic neurotransmission 40 and an important target for in vivo imaging of neurodegenerative diseaes, such AD, 41 using positron emission tomography (PET). On the other hand, vesamicol, a well-known VAChT PET radioligand, produces a noncompetitive and reversible block of VAChT responsible for carrying newly synthesized ACh into secretory vesicles, decreasing ACh release.…”
Contilisant, a permeable, antioxidant, and neuroprotectant agent, showing high nM affinity at H3R and excellent inhibition of the monoamine oxidases and cholinesterases, is an affine and selective S1R agonist in the nanomolar range, based on the binding affinity and functional experiment, a result confirmed by molecular modeling. In addition, contilisant significantly restores the cognitive deficit induced by Aβ in the radial maze assay in an in vivo Alzheimer's disease test, comparing very favorably with donepezil.
“…The minute amounts of [ 11 C]CO available for reaction and the requisite for a finished synthesis within 2–3 half-lives of carbon-11 set the framework for a transition-metal-mediated 11 C-carbonylation. We have previously used the xenon system for ambient pressure carbonylations and demonstrated its feasibility in synthesising amides [ 53 , 54 ] and sulfonyl carbamates [ 55 ]. The report by Kealey et al as well as our own observations that 11 C-labelled ureas can form as byproducts in the synthesis of 11 C-labelled amides, especially when a Pd(II) source is used as a pre-catalyst for the aminocarbonylation, sparked our interest in exploring the Pd(II)-mediated formation of 11 C-labelled ureas [ 14 ].…”
Positron emission tomography is an imaging technique with applications in clinical settings as well as in basic research for the study of biological processes. A PET tracer, a biologically active molecule where a positron-emitting radioisotope such as carbon-11 has been incorporated, is used for the studies. Development of robust methods for incorporation of the radioisotope is therefore of the utmost importance. The urea functional group is present in many biologically active compounds and is thus an attractive target for incorporation of carbon-11 in the form of [11C]carbon monoxide. Starting with amines and [11C]carbon monoxide, both symmetrical and unsymmetrical 11C-labelled ureas were synthesised via a palladium(II)-mediated oxidative carbonylation and obtained in decay-corrected radiochemical yields up to 65%. The added advantage of using [11C]carbon monoxide was shown by the molar activity obtained for an inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase (247 GBq/μmol–319 GBq/μmol). DFT calculations were found to support a reaction mechanism proceeding through an 11C-labelled isocyanate intermediate.
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.
