We report a simple protocol for the transformation of Csp3–Csp3 to Csp3–N in homobenzylic sulfonamides in combination with N-iodoimides to form gem-diamino derivatives. The reaction exhibits a wide functional group tolerance and allows the incorporation of bioactive-derived fragments. The mechanistic insights provided by control experiments and DFT calculations suggest that an imine intermediate is formed after C−C bond cleavage.

A selective, metal-free method for the synthesis of boron-functionalized polysubstituted naphthalenes via BCl3-mediated cyclization of α-substituted o-alkynylstyrenes is described. The reaction exhibits broad substrate scope, tolerating various groups such as ethers, sulfides and halogens, and delivers high yields under mild conditions, even at gram scale. The resulting Bpin-functionalized naphthalenes serve as versatile building blocks, facilitating further transformations of the C−B bond into C−H, C−C, C−I, C−O, and C−N bonds, thereby increasing molecular complexity and enabling the design of more functionalized products. Notably, this sustainable and straightforward protocol selectively introduces the Bpin group at the sterically hindered α-carbon of the naphthalene framework, complementing C–H borylations of the naphthalene core, that preferentially occur at the β-position. As a result, the developed approach significantly broadens the accessibility of B-functionalized naphthalene derivatives for synthetic and application-oriented purposes.

La presente invención se refiere a nuevos compuestos que actúan como ligandos de la quinasa ligada a integrinas (del inglés ILK), facilitando la polimerización del citoesqueleto de actina y favoreciendo así el tráfico de receptores celulares desde los compartimentos intracelulares a la superficie de las células. Por este motivo, pueden ser utilizados en enfermedades como la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 o la diabetes insípida nefrogénica y, por extensión, en cualquier enfermedad en la que las alteraciones fisiopatológicas sean debidas, total o parcialmente, a un transporte transmembrana disminuido como las tubulopatías renales originadas por una pérdida de transportadores.
