Palladium‐Catalyzed Electrophilic C–H‐Bond Fluorination: Mechanistic Overview and Supporting Evidence

2018

International audience; Palladium-catalyzed electrophilic fluorination is a particularly attractive and challenging synthetic issue. Because of the rapid evolution of this topic, a critical point on the mechanistic and experimental advances is provided herein. In the present review, we focused on current mechanistic understanding in electrophilic fluorination (and related halogenations) catalyzed by palladium, mainly with N-directing group. Our discussion is based on the well-characterized or calculated pertinent metal species and intermediates used for analyzing the plausible catalytic cycles. A particular effort has been devoted to gathering supporting data for the putative species involv…

Enantioselective Palladium-Catalyzed Oxidative β,β-Fluoroarylation of α,β-Unsaturated Carbonyl Derivatives

2016

© 2016 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim The site-selective palladium-catalyzed three-component coupling of deactivated alkenes, arylboronic acids, and N-fluorobenzenesulfonimide is disclosed herein. The developed methodology establishes a general, modular, and step-economical approach to the stereoselective β-fluorination of α,β-unsaturated systems.

Optimization of a new lead promoting the readthrough of the nonsense mutations for CFTR rescue in human CF cells

Optimization of a new lead promoting the readthrough of the nonsense mutations for CFTR rescue in human CF cells Laura Lentini, Raffaella Melfi, Sara Baldassano, Marco Tutone, Aldo Di Leonardo, Andrea Pace, Ivana Pibiri Department of Biological, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technologies (STEBICEF), University of Palermo Background and rationale Cystic Fibrosis patients with nonsense mutations in the CFTR gene have a more severe form of the disease. Nonsense mutations represent about 10% of the mutations that affect the CFTR gene and they are frequently associated to the classical F508 mutation (1). A potential treatment for this genetic alteration is to promote the translationa…

Environmental degradation of polymers for cultural heritage

2018

Plastic materials are used both for the protection of cultural heritage and as material for artworks. As for other materials, the durability and the maintenance of their initial properties are fundamental for the use of these materials. For the protection of the cultural heritage (particularly for stone artworks) the main important properties are the hydrophobicity, the UV transparency and the water vapour permeability that must be maintained even after a long exposure to the environmental conditions (UV irradiation, rain, temperature variations, etc.). When the polymers are used for the production of an artwork, the most important characteristics are the maintenance of the aesthetical appe…

Synthesis and preliminary antibacterial evaluation of Linezolid-like 1,2,4-oxadiazole derivatives

2012

In the present study the synthesis of new Linezolid-like molecules has been achieved by substitution of the oxazolidinone central heterocyclic moiety with a 1,2,4-oxadiazole ring. Two series of 1,2,4-oxadiazoles, bearing different side-chains and containing a varying number of fluorine atoms, were synthesized and preliminarily tested for biological activity against some Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria using Linezolid and Ceftriaxone as reference drugs

Synthesis and biological evaluation of a novel MUC1 glycopeptide conjugate vaccine candidate comprising a 4’-deoxy-4’-fluoro-Thomsen–Friedenreich epi…

2015

The development of selective anticancer vaccines that provide enhanced protection against tumor recurrence and metastasis has been the subject of intense research in the scientific community. The tumor-associated glycoprotein MUC1 represents a well-established target for cancer immunotherapy and has been used for the construction of various synthetic vaccine candidates. However, many of these vaccine prototypes suffer from an inherent low immunogenicity and are susceptible to rapid in vivo degradation. To overcome these drawbacks, novel fluorinated MUC1 glycopeptide-BSA/TTox conjugate vaccines have been prepared. Immunization of mice with the 4’F-TF-MUC1-TTox conjugate resulted in strong im…

Asymmetric tandem reactions: New synthetic strategies

2010

The use of domino and multicomponent reactions in asymmetric synthesis is constantly increasing nowadays. This allows for the synthesis of complex molecules in a single synthetic sequence, usually with high atom economy. Herein, we report three examples of new asymmetric tandem reactions recently developed in our laboratories, giving rise to new families of enantiomerically enriched fluorinated and nonfluorinated heterocycles. Thus, 1,4-dihydropyridines (1,4-DHPs) bearing fluorinated substituents at C6 were assembled by means of a Hantzsch-type reaction; cyclic β-amino carbonyl derivatives were prepared using a cross-metathesis (CM)–intramolecular aza-Michael sequence; while fluorinated ind…
