Selective mono-de-O-acetylation of the per-O-acetylated brasilicardin carbohydrate side chain
Abstract Methanol dried over powdered 4 A molecular sieves can be used for a selective mono-de-O-acetylation of the phenolic acetyl group of the per-O-acetyl protected brasilicardin A carbohydrate side chain. This reaction opens a practical procedure for a synthetic access to derivates of the immunosuppressive and cytotoxic natural product brasilicardin A.

Structural Optimization of a Pyridinylimidazole Scaffold: Shifting the Selectivity from p38α Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase to c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase 3
Starting from known p38α mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) inhibitors, a series of inhibitors of the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) 3 was obtained. Altering the substitution pattern of the pyridinylimidazole scaffold proved to be effective in shifting the inhibitory activity from the original target p38α MAPK to the closely related JNK3. In particular, a significant improvement for JNK3 selectivity could be achieved by addressing the hydrophobic region I with a small methyl group. Furthermore, additional structural modifications permitted to explore structure–activity relationships. The most potent inhibitor 4-(4-methyl-2-(methylthio)-1H-imidazol-5-yl)-N-(4-morpholinophenyl)pyridin-2-a…
(2S,3S)-2-Azaniumyl-4-[(1S,4aS,4bS,6S,7S,8aS,10aS)-6,7-dihydroxy-2,4b,8,8,10a-pentamethyl-1,4,4a,4b,5,6,7,8,8a,9,10,10a-dodecahydrophenanthren-1-yl]-3-methoxybutanoate–methanol–water (1/1/1)
The title compound, which crystallized as a methanol and water solvate, C24H41NO5·CH4O·H2O, was obtained by heterologous expression of the brasilicardin gene cluster in the bacterium Amycolatopsis japonicum. In the crystal, the components are linked by numerous hydrogen bonds, generating a three-dimensional network.

(E)-1-(Pyridin-4-yl)propan-1-one O-tosyl oxime
The title compound, C15H16N2O3S, was obtained by the reaction of (E)-1-(pyridin-4-yl)propan-1-one oxime andpara-toluenesulfonic acid. The pyridine ring makes a dihedral angle of 54.70 (10)° with the benzene ring. In the crystal, molecules are linked by C—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a chain along thec-axis direction.
(E)-1-(Pyridin-4-yl)propan-1-one oxime
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C8H10N2O, contains two crystallographically independent molecules of slightly different conformation, which are linkedviaan intermolecular O—H...N hydrogen bond. The dihedral angle between the pyridine ring and the oxime plane of moleculeA[2.09 (19)°] is smaller than in moleculeB[16.50 (18)°].
