Diastereoselective ZnCl 2-Mediated Joullié-Ugi Three-Component Reaction for the Preparation of Phosphorylated N-Acylaziridines from 2 H-Azirines. Molecules 2024; 29:1023. [PMID: 38474535 DOI: 10.3390/molecules29051023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/07/2024] [Revised: 02/22/2024] [Accepted: 02/23/2024] [Indexed: 03/14/2024] Open
Abstract
We disclose a direct approach to the diastereoselective synthesis of phosphorus substituted N-acylaziridines based on a one-pot ZnCl2-catalyzed Joullié-Ugi three-component reaction of phosphorylated 2H-azirines, carboxylic acids and isocyanides. Hence, this robust protocol offers rapid access to an array of N-acylaziridines in moderate-to-good yields and up to 98:2 dr for substrates over a wide scope. The relevance of this synthetic methodology was achieved via a gram-scale reaction and the further derivatization of the nitrogen-containing three-membered heterocycle. The diastereo- and regioselective ring expansion of the obtained N-acylaziridines to oxazole derivatives was accomplished in the presence of BF3·OEt2 as an efficient Lewid acid catalyst.

Pelliccia S, Alfano AI, Gomes Da Assunção BR, Turco L, Lembo F, Summa V, Buommino E, Brindisi M. Rejuvenating the [1, 2, 3]-triazolo [1,5-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-one scaffold: Synthesis and derivatization in a sustainable guise and preliminary antimicrobial evaluation. Front Chem 2023; 11:1126427. [PMID: 36998572 PMCID: PMC10043301 DOI: 10.3389/fchem.2023.1126427] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/02/2023] [Indexed: 03/18/2023] Open
Abstract
The [1,2,3]-triazolo [1,5-a] quinoxalin-4(5H)-one scaffold and its analogues triazole-fused heterocyclic compounds are relevant structural templates in both natural and synthetic biologically active compounds. However, their medicinal chemistry applications are often limited due to the lack of synthetic protocols combining straightforward generation of the central core while also allowing extensive decoration activity for drug discovery purposes. Herein, we report a “refreshed” synthesis of the [1,2,3]-triazolo [1,5-a]quinoxalin-4(5H)-one core, encompassing the use of eco-compatible catalysts and reaction conditions. We have also performed a sustainable and extensive derivatization campaign at both the endocyclic amide nitrogen and the ester functionality, comprehensively exploring the reaction scope and overcoming some of the previously reported difficulties in introducing functional groups on this structural template. Finally, we unveiled a preliminary biological investigation for the newly generated chemical entities. Our assessment of the compounds on different bacterial species (two S. aureus strains, three P. aeruginosa strains, K. pneumonia), and two fungal C. albicans strains, as well as the evaluation of their activity on S. epidermidis biofilm formation, foster further optimization for the retrieved hit compounds 9, 14, and 20.

Abstract
Herein, we describe the development of a green, scalable flow Pd-catalyzed aerobic oxidation for the key step in the synthesis of CPL302415, which is a new PI3Kδ inhibitor. Applying this environmental-friendly, sustainable catalytic oxidation we significantly increased product yield (up to 84%) and by eliminating of workup step, we improved the waste index and E factor (up to 0.13) in comparison with the stoichiometric synthesis. The process was optimized by using the DoE approach.

Abstract
Formation of amide bonds is of immanent importance in organic and synthetic medicinal chemistry. Its presence in "traditional" small-molecule active pharmaceutical ingredients, in linear or cyclic oligo- and polypeptidic actives, including pseudopeptides, has led to the development of dedicated synthetic approaches for the formation of amide bonds starting from, if necessary, suitably protected amino acids. While the use of solid supported reagents is common in traditional peptide synthesis, similar approaches targeting amide bond formation in continuous-flow mode took off more significantly, after a first publication in 2006, only a couple of years ago. Most efforts rely upon the transition of traditional approaches in flow mode, or the combination of solid-phase peptide synthesis principles with flow chemistry, and advantages are mainly seen in improving space-time yields. This Review summarizes and compares the various approaches in terms of basic amide formation, peptide synthesis, and pseudopeptide generation, describing the technological approaches and the advantages that were generated by the specific flow approaches. A final discussion highlights potential future needs and perspectives in terms of greener and more sustainable syntheses.
