<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>

<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>

A series of trifluoromethyl-substituted 3-alkoxypyridinol derivatives has been deprotected to furnish pyridine-3,4-diol derivatives in good yields. The X-ray crystal structure analysis proved that a 1:1 mixture of pyridine-3,4-diols and their pyridin-4-one tautomers exist in the solid state. Subsequent conversion into bis(perfluoroalkanesulfonate)s were smoothly achieved. The obtained compounds were used as substrates for palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions. Fluorescence measurements of the biscoupled products showed a maximum of emission in the violet region of the spectrum.

An easy access to 1,8-dichloro-10-(ethynyl)anthracene is reported, which is widely applicable for building up rigid linkers between two 1,8-dichloroanthracene units. For this, 1,8-dichloroanthren-10(9H)-one was reacted with ethynylmagnesium bromide in the presence of CeCl3; the yield was 65%. This building block was used as a substrate in (cross-)coupling reactions and some examples of linked 1,8-dichloroanthracen-10-yls (e.g., 1,8-bis[(1,8-dichloroanthracen-10-yl)-ethynyl]naphthalene or 1,2-bis[(1,8-dichloroanthracen-10-yl)ethynyl]-benzene) were synthesized in good to moderate yields. Linked 1,8-dichloroanthracen-10-yl derivatives were also synthesized by cross-coupling reactions using 10-bromo-1,8-dichloroanthracene and doubly ethynyl-substituted substrates. Linkers between the 1,8-dichloroanthracene units were: butadiynediyl, dimethylsilyldiethynyl, octa-1,7-diyne-1,8-diyl, propane-1,3-diylbis(dimethylsilyl)diethynyl, benzene-1,2-diethynyl, naphthalene-1,8-diyldiethynyl, and anthracene-1,8-diyldiethynyl. The new anthracene compounds were characterized by NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectrometry, and, in part, by X-ray diffraction experiments.

Facile synthetic routes for three 4-substituted 2,2′-bipyridine derivatives, 4-[2-(4-methylphenyl)ethynyl]-2,2′-bipyridine, C19H14N2, (I), 4-[2-(pyridin-3-yl)ethynyl]-2,2′-bipyridine, C17H11N3, (II), and 4-(indol-4-yl)-2,2′-bipyridine, C18H13N3, (III),viaSonogashira and Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reactions, respectively, are described. As indicated by X-ray analysis, the 2,2′-bipyridine core, the ethylene linkage and the substituents of (I) and (II) are almost planar [dihedral angles between the two ring systems: 8.98 (5) and 9.90 (6)° for the two molecules of (I) in the asymmetric unit and 2.66 (14)° for (II)], allowing π-conjugation. On the contrary, in (III), the indole substituent ring is rotated significantly out of the bipyridine plane [dihedral angle = 55.82 (3)°], due to steric hindrance. The crystal packings of (I) and (II) are dominated by π–π interactions, resulting in layers of molecules parallel to (30-2) in (I) and columns of molecules along theaaxis in (II). The packing of (III) exhibits zigzag chains of molecules along thecaxis interacting through N—H...N hydrogen bonds and π–π interactions. The contributions of unknown disordered solvent molecules to the diffraction intensities in (II) were removed with the SQUEEZE [Spek (2015).Acta Cryst.C71, 9–18] algorithm ofPLATON. The given chemical formula and other crystal data do not take into account these solvent molecules.

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.

AbstractSubstituted phenols with a m-terphenyl backbone 2,4,6-R3C6H2OH [R=2,4,6-Me3C6H2 (1), Me5C6 (2)] were synthesized using Kumada cross-coupling reactions between 2,4,6-I3C6H2OH and the corresponding Grignard reagent. Both compounds were structurally characterized in solution by 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy and HRMS. The molecular structures of 1 and 2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
