<p>In this manuscript we describe a modular pathway to synthesize biologically relevant (–)-<i>trans</i>-Δ<sup>8</sup>-THC derivatives, which can be used to modulate the pharmacologically important CB<sub>1</sub> and CB<sub>2</sub> receptors. This pathway involves a one-pot Friedel-Crafts alkylation/cyclization protocol, followed by Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions and gives rise to a series of new Δ<sup>8</sup>-THC derivatives. In addition, we demonstrate using extensive NMR evidence that similar halide-substituted Friedel-Crafts alkylation/cyclization products in previous articles were wrongly assigned as the para-isomers, which also has consequence for the assignment of the subsequent cross-coupled products and interpretation of their biological activity. </p> <p>Considering the importance of the availability of THC derivatives in medicinal chemistry research and the fact that previously synthesized compounds were wrongly assigned, we feel this research is describing a straightforward pathway into new cannabinoids.</p>

Potassium acyltrifluoroborates (KATs) are opening up new avenues in chemical biology, materials science and synthetic organic chemistry due to their intriguing reactivities. However, the synthesis of these compounds remains mostly complicated and time-consuming. This lack of a rapid and facile synthetic route has hindered the widespread adoption of KAT-based chemistry, especially in the areas of compound library synthesis and drug discovery. Herein, we have developed chemoselective Pd-catalyzed approaches for the late-stage diversification of arenes bearing pre-functionalized KATs. These approaches feature chemoselective cross-coupling, rapid diversification, functional group tolerance, mild reaction conditions, and high yields.

AbstractAzobenzenes are among the most extensively used molecular switches for many different applications. The need to tailor them to the required task often requires further functionalization. Cross-coupling reactions are ideally suited for late-stage modifications.

In this paper, exploration of our continuous interests on late-stage derivation of quinozaline core is described. A wide array of 4-(1H-indol-1-yl)quinazolines were obtained in good to excellent yields through palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of 4-tosyloxyquinazolines with indole derivatives under mild reaction conditions.

<div> <div> <div> <p>Boronate ester bullvalenes are now accessible in two to four operationally simple steps. This unlocks late-stage diversification through Suzuki cross-coupling reactions to give mono-, di-, and tri-substituted bullvalenes. Moreover, a linchpin strategy enables pre-programmed installation of two different substituents. Analysis of solution phase isomer distributions and single crystal X-ray structures reveals that isomer preference in the crystal lattice is due to general shape selectivity. </p> </div> </div> </div>
