Novel oxybispyridylboronic acids: synthesis and study of their reactivity in Suzuki-type cross-coupling reactions
2007
Abstract This paper sets forth the synthesis of novel oxybispyridylboronic acids, which are prepared from the corresponding halo-oxybispyridines via halogen–metal exchange using n-butyllithium and treatment with triisopropylborate. A range of efficient cross-coupling reactions of these novel boronic acids with selected aryl halides is described. This strategy produces novel pyridylethers of interest in cholinergic medicinal chemistry.
Bifunctional Acid-Base Catalysis
2011
Acid-base catalysis with bifunctional catalysts is a very prominent catalytic strategy in both small-molecule organocatalysts as well as enzyme catalysis. In both worlds, small-molecule catalysts and enzymatic catalysis, a variety of different general acids or hydrogen bond donors are used. In this chapter, important parallels between small molecule catalysts and enzymes are discussed, and a comparison is also made to the emerging field of frustrated Lewis pair catalysis.
Soluble/MOF-Supported Palladium Single Atoms Catalyze the Ligand-, Additive-, and Solvent-Free Aerobic Oxidation of Benzyl Alcohols to Benzoic Acids.
2021
Metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) promise great rewards in terms of metal atom efficiency. However, the requirement of particular conditions and supports for their synthesis, together with the need of solvents and additives for catalytic implementation, often precludes their use under industrially viable conditions. Here, we show that palladium single atoms are spontaneously formed after dissolving tiny amounts of palladium salts in neat benzyl alcohols, to catalyze their direct aerobic oxidation to benzoic acids without ligands, additives, or solvents. With this result in hand, the gram-scale preparation and stabilization of Pd SACs within the functional channels of a novel methyl-cystein…
Direct arylation of heteroaromatic compounds with congested, functionalised aryl bromides at low palladium/triphosphane catalyst loading.
2011
International audience; A new ferrocenyl triphosphane ligand associated to palladium was found to be an efficient catalyst for the direct coupling of highly congested, functionalised aryl bromides with a variety of heteroarenes. These coupling reactions can generally be performed by using a low-loading (0.1-0.5 mol%) of the catalyst. The present protocol tolerates important and useful functional groups, which allows for further elaboration into more sophisticated heterocyclic molecules. The straightforward arylation of heteroaromatic compounds with congested ortho-substituted aryl bromides may permit further convergent syntheses of diverse ligands, biologically active molecules and molecula…

Linear Triphosphines as Ligands for Metal Complexes Immobilization in Ionic Liquids: Palladium-Catalyzed Methoxylation of Alkynes
2012
Several novel palladium triphosphine complexes have been synthesized and tested as recyclable catalysts for the methoxylation of alkynes into acetals in ionic liquids. A complete conversion of phenylacetylene was achieved with only 0.2% of (Pd(Triphos)NCMe)((PF6)2) in a methanol/(BMIM)(BF4) mixture. We discovered that the addition of an ionic liquid to methanol allowed not only to increase the activity of the palladium catalyst but also to provide a recyclable catalyst which can be reused several times with a weaker drop of activity. To complete these catalytic studies, we describe the synthesis of the first poor -electron-donating/strong -electron-acceptor linear Triphosphine which, afte…
The iron-regulatory hormone hepcidin: A possible therapeutic target?
2015
The maintenance of stable extracellular and intracellular iron concentrations requires the coordinated regulation of iron transport into plasma. Iron is a fundamental cofactor for several enzymes involved in oxidation-reduction reactions. The redox ability of iron can lead to the production of oxygen free radicals, which can damage various cellular components. Therefore, the appropriate regulation of systemic iron homeostasis is decisive in vital processes. Hepcidin has emerged as the central regulatory molecule of systemic iron homeostasis. It is synthesized in hepatocytes and in other cells and released into the circulation. It inhibits the release of iron from enterocytes of the duodenum…

Crystal structure of hydrocortisone 17-butyrate
2014
In the title compound, C25H36O6, the two central cyclohexane rings exhibit a chair conformation. The terminal cyclohexene and cyclopentane rings are in half-chair and envelope conformations (with the C atom bearing the methyl substituent as the flap), respectively. The methyl group of the butyrate chain is disordered over two orientations, with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.742 (6):0.258 (6). Intramolecular O—H...O and C—H...O hydrogen bonds are observed. In the crystal, molecules are linked by O—H...O hydrogen bonds into chains running parallel to theaaxis.
Crystal structure ofN-(tert-butoxycarbonyl)glycyl-(Z)-β-bromodehydroalanine methyl ester [Boc–Gly–(β-Br)(Z)ΔAla–OMe]

In a dehydroamino acid with a C=C bond between the α- and β-C atoms, the amino acid residues are linked trans to each other and there are no strong intramolecular hydrogen bonds. The torsion angles indicate a non-helical conformation of the molecule.
