Abstract

3,4-Dihydro-4-aza-3-boraphenanthrene, which shows the highest fluorescence quantum yield of all nonsubstituted BN-phenanthrenes reported to date (varphiF = 0.61), has been synthesized in only three steps (76% overall yield) from easily accessible 1-bromo-2-vinylnaphthalene, along with several substituted derivatives. The reactivity of these previously unknown BN-aromatic compounds toward organolithium compounds and bromine has been studied. This latter reaction affords bromo-substituted compounds that are suitable for further functionalization via Suzuki and Sonogashira couplings, with complete regioselectivity. The optical properties and excited state deactivation mechanisms of selected compounds were studied using computational methods.

Abstract

A series of BN-phenanthrenes with substituents of a diverse nature have been synthesized by palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions of a common chloro-substituted precursor, which was made from readily available materials in only four steps. Evaluation of the photophysical properties of the prepared compounds unveiled an impressive effect of the presence of alkynyl substituents on the fluorescence quantum yield, which improved from 0.01 in the parent compound to up to 0.65 in derivatives containing a triple bond.

Abstract

NF-kappaB-inducing kinase (NIK, MAP3K14) is best known as the apical kinase that triggers non-canonical NF-kappaB activation and by its role in the immune system. Recent data indicate a role for NIK expressed by non-lymphoid cells in cancer, kidney disease, liver injury, glucose homeostasis, osteosarcopenia, vascular calcification, hematopoiesis, and endothelial function. The spectrum of NIK-associated disease now ranges from immunodeficiency (when NIK is defective) to autoimmunity, cancer, sterile inflammation, fibrosis, and metabolic disease when NIK is overactive. The development of novel small-molecule NIK inhibitors has paved the way to test NIK targeting to treat disease in vivo, and may eventually lead to NIK targeting in the clinic. In addition, NIK activators are being explored for specific conditions such as myeloid leukemia.

Abstract

Previously unknown 1,2-dihydro-1-aza-2-boraphenanthrene has been synthesized in only three steps from 2-bromo-1-vinylnaphthalene. The reactivity of this new BN-phenanthrene, and of several substituted derivatives, has been tested against bromine and organolithium compounds. Bromination proceeded with complete regioselectivity, affording bromo-substituted compounds suitable for further functionalization via cross-coupling reactions. This new family of BN-phenanthrenes exhibits a substantial increase in the quantum yield (up to varphiF = 0.93) with respect to phenanthrene.

Abstract

Cyclobutane-fused dihydropyrans and methylenetetrahydrofurans are highly interesting cores found in numerous natural products. Both these cores are selectively prepared from a common alkynylcyclobutane precursor bearing an appended hydroxyl group herein. Thus, cyclobutane-fused dihydropyrans can be obtained by a selective 6-endo-dig iodocyclization, whereas gold-catalyzed 5-exo-dig cycloisomerization provides a bicyclic core containing a methylenetetrahydrofuran moiety as major product. Several cyclobutane-fused O-heterocycles with diverse substituents are synthesized following the reported methodology.
