A series of novel petrosiol E derivatives were synthesized by divergent strategies starting from readily available d-xylose as the chiral template. The pro-differentiating capacities of these derivatives were evaluated using a differentiation model of rat neuron-like PC12 cells and several derivatives exhibited moderate to significant pro-differentiating capacities. Our study demonstrated that the pro-differentiating capacities of these derivatives were very sensitive to modifications in the side chains, suggesting that the conjugated diyne skeleton and terminal alkyl residue might play important roles in the neuronal differentiation.

In the present communication we describe the construction of imidazo[4,5-b]indeno[2,1-e]pyridin-9(3H)-one system. The considered method is based on previously unknown multicomponent condensation of 5-aminoimidazoles with diverse aldehydes and 1,3-indandione. Sodium salts of 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxylic acids were employed as convenient precursors for generation of unstable 5-aminoimidazoles in the reaction mixture. The application of easily available aromatic and heterocyclic aldehydes allowed us to obtain the array of target substituted imidazo[4,5-b]indeno[2,1-e]pyridin-9(3H)-ones. Atom economy, mild experimental conditions and simple isolation of the final products are the advantages of the method. X-ray analysis was utilized for confirmation of structure of one of the prepared imidazo[4,5-b]indeno[2,1-e]pyridin-9(3H)-ones.

The chemical ecology of crane flies (Diptera: Tipulidae) has only recently begun to be elucidated, creating a pressing need for enantiomerically pure standards to support structural identification and functional studies. In a previous investigation, the cuticular hydrocarbons (R)- and (S)-3-methylheneicosane were identified as male-specific components of Tipula autumnalis, with synthetic samples enabling both confirmation of their stereostructures and assessment of biological activity. Laboratory bioassays revealed that the (R)-enantiomer elicited an excitatory response in males, whereas the (S)-enantiomer acted as a repellent. In the present work, we detail the total enantiospecific synthesis of these compounds from methyl (S)-3-hydroxy-2-methylpropionate precursor. The route employs orthogonal protection, Wittig coupling with a C17 fragment, hydrogenation, and terminal one-carbon homologation, providing efficient access to long-chain methyl-branched hydrocarbons with full stereochemical control. This work establishes a robust and generalizable strategy for the synthesis of enantioenriched methyl-branched hydrocarbons and provides sufficient material to support all future chemical and behavioral studies in this species, paving the way for the development of targeted insect management strategies.

Indoles are critical heterocycles present in various biologically active compounds, such as medicines. Therefore, the introduction of a fluoro substituent into an indole nucleus is of great interest from the viewpoints of both synthetic and medicinal chemistry. This study successfully synthesized 2-trifluoromethylindole-3-acetic acid derivatives by reacting o-trifluoroacetamidocinnamic acid derivatives with tributylphosphine under thermolytic decomposition conditions. Although the 1-unsubstituted 2-trifluoromethylindoles were obtained without using an additional additive, the 1-alkyl substituted ones required benzoic acid as an additive. An analog of indomethacin with a trifluoromethyl group in place of the methyl group was synthesized using this method.

A late-stage diversification strategy for the synthesis of novel BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors is reported. A uniquely selective bromination reagent was applied to the functionalization of nilotinib, radotinib, and imatinib at a single site, enabling the facile generation of new derivatives of these scaffolds. The novel derivatives were profiled through enzymatic activity assays, cellular target engagement assays, and ADME assays. By exploring inhibition profiles across a range of ABL mutants, it was found that nilotinib derivatives 20 and 21 exhibit broad inhibitory activity, which is superior to the parent compound for some ABL isoforms.

A simple and practical synthetic route for the scalable synthesis of highly valuable α-trifluoromethylated indole-3-carbinols with more cost-effective trifluoroacetaldehyde hydrate has been developed. This convenient recyclable H-bonding HFIP-promoted synthetic protocol allows the rapid construction of structurally diverse α-trifluoromethylated indole-3-carbinols with high efficiency. The synthetic utility of this protocol is further highlighted by the decagram-scale synthesis and product derivatizations.

Copper-mediated methodologies for the arylation of bis-azolium salts and bis-azoles are efficient pathways to access symmetrical and unsymmetrical N-heterocyclic carbene precursors. The arylation of bis-azolium salts with various aryl halides was achieved in moderate yields to furnish numerous C2-arylated bis-azolium salts. Access of C2-arylated bis-azolium salts from bis-azoles was also achieved in a single pot domino reaction via the use of iodonium salts as embedded electrophiles. The latter methodology utilizes the aryl iodide byproduct from the N-arylation step for the C–H activation step to mitigate waste and the need to recycle. We also demonstrated the use of these azolium salts in metalation and found success in obtaining metal complexes containing abnormal N-heterocyclic carbenes.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) are significantly affected by the photophysical features of organic luminescent materials. In this article, a series of pyrene-based luminogens 2 and 3 are synthesized from a bromopyrene precursor, namely 1,3,6,8-tetrabromopyrene-2,7-diol 1, by a Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction and subsequent substitution reaction, where the bromo and hydroxyl groups at the pyrene core can be readily modified to obtain the target products. The developed fluorophores exhibit a strong blue emission with a narrow full width at half maximum, as well as excellent solid-state emission efficiency by regulating molecular flexibility.
