Cascade Michael/cyclization reactions between 3-isothiocyanato oxindoles and exocyclic α,β-unsaturated ketones are shown to proceed in the presence of a tertiary amino-squaramide catalyst and furnish 3,2′-pyrrolidinyl bispirooxindoles with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 : 1 er).

Macrocyclic compounds are an attractive modality for drug development, but the limited availability of large, structurally diverse macrocyclic libraries hampers the discovery of leads. Here, we describe the discovery of efficient macrocyclization reactions based on thiol-to-amine ligations using bis-electrophiles, their application to synthesize and screen large libraries of macrocyclic compounds, and the identification of potent small macrocyclic ligands. The thiol-to-amine cyclization reactions showed unexpectedly high yields for a wide substrate range, which obviated product purification and enabled the generation and screening of an 8988 macrocycle library with a comparatively small effort. X-ray structure analysis of an identified thrombin inhibitor (Ki = 42 ± 5 nM) revealed a snug fit with the target, validating the strategy of screening large libraries with a high skeletal diversity. The approach provides a route for screening large sub-kilodalton macrocyclic libraries and may be applied to many challenging drug targets.

We present a one-pot two-step methodology, in which an unprotected amino is tolerated, for rapidly synthesizing 2,3-benzodiazepines via phosphate-assisted acylation reaction and hydrazine cyclization reaction.

Rates of base-catalyzed cyclizations of 8 substituted derivatives of hydantoic acid amide type R3-NH(5)-CO(4)-NR2(3)-CH2(2)-CO(1)-NHR1 and 9 nitriles type R3-NH(5)-CO(4)-NR2(3)-CHR1(2)-CN have been measured in aqueous and methanolic media. The cyclization of the amides in aqueous medium is also accompanied by hydrolysis of the hydantoins formed. In some cases the hydrolysis rate constant is greater than the corresponding cyclization reaction rate constant. With the least reactive amides, the cyclization is also accompanied by hydrolysis of the amide group. The rate of the cyclization reactions in water is higher than that in methanol (at the same concentration of the lyate ions) by the factor of 10-100. Substitution of hydrogen at 3 and 5 positions by methyl or phenyl groups causes an acceleration of the cyclization reaction, whereas a substitution in the amide group causes a considerable retardation. The greatest acceleration of the cyclization (by as much as 4 orders) is caused by introduction of phenyl group to the N(5) position, which is due to a substantial increase of concentration of the reactive anion.

Ethyl (3-substituted 5-thioxo-1,2,4-triazolin-4-yl)acetates were prepared by addition-cyclization reaction of ethyl isothiocyanatoacetate with carboxylic acid hydrazides in the presence of sodium ethoxide. Thermal cyclization of the adduct in dimethylformamide afforded 1-acetamido-2-thiohydantoin. The effect of substituents on the cyclization course and the thione-thiol tautomerism are discussed.

Abstract5-Acetyl-4,5-dihydro-1-phenylpyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-4-one was prepared and subjected to various chemical transformations to give novel 5-heterocyclic pyrazolopyrimidinone derivatives of expected important biological activity. Then, the latter compounds were used to obtain β-keto ester and α,β-unsaturated carbonylpyrazolopyrimidinones which were used as alternate precursors to produce new pyrazolopyrimidinones substituted with five-membered heterocycles such as pyrazole and isoxazole. The structure of these compounds was identified on the basis of their chemical behaviour as well as elemental and spectral analysis.

AbstractIn this work, we describe the Michael addition–cyclization reaction of 2-(2-nitrovinyl)phenol with two different reactive Michael donors, which lead to chiral benzopyran derivatives. Specifically, bifunctional amino-squaramides with one or two chiral units in the side chains were evaluated as catalysts in these transformations. Furthermore, the utility of selected green solvents as reaction media for these processes was also tested. The best result was achieved with methyl-cyclopentanone-2-carboxylate as the Michael donor in ethyl (–)-l-lactate with quinine-based amino-squaramide as catalyst (yield 72%, dr >99:1, ee 99%).
