The title compound, C(37)H(26)N(4)O(7), is a 1H-anthra[2,1-d]imidazole-2,6,11(3H)-trione derivative having isoindolindionylpropyl substitutents attached to the imidazole N atoms. The anthraquinone fragment is buckled, the dihedral angle between the two benzene rings being 1.6 (1)°. The two isoindoline rings of the substituents of the imidazole ring are positioned on opposite sides of the five-m...

Intermediates formed during the microbial degradation of imidazole, namely 4(5)-imidazolone, formiminoglycine, and possibly glycine, are similar to those formed during metabolism of imidazole derivatives.

Current inhibitors of angiogenesis comprise either therapeutic antibodies (e.g. bevacicumab binding to VEGF-A) or small molecular inhibitors of receptor tyrosin kinases like e.g. sunitinib, which inhibits PDGFR and VEGFR. We have recently identified cyclin-dependent kinase 5 (Cdk5) as novel alternative and pharmacologically accessible target in the context of angiogenesis. In the present work w...

[reaction: see text] A short synthesis of epothilone B and D is reported. The key step for generating the C12-13-trisubstituted Z-double bond uses a ring-closing metathesis reaction of a disiloxane to form a nine-membered silicon-tethered ring.

The reagent system of I2/K2CO3 could efficiently promote the oxazole synthesis from α-bromoketones and benzylamine derivatives in DMF. This method was not only suitable for 2,5-diaryl oxazole synthesis but also for 2,4,5-trisubstituted oxazole and 5-alkyl/alkenyl oxazole synthesis. Furthermore, this method was successfully applied to a one-step synthesis of a natural product halfordinol in 62% ...

Various 2,4,6-trisubstituted 1,3,5-triazines were smoothly formed via TBHP-mediated direct oxidative coupling of amidine and methylarenes. This tandem oxidation-imination-cyclization transformation exhibits a straightforward protocol to prepare 1,3,5-triazines from easily available starting materials and green oxidants under metal-free conditions.

We report the Pd-catalyzed arylation of very hindered α,α,α-trisubstituted primary amines. Kinetics-based mechanistic analysis and rational design have led to the development of two biarylphosphine ligands that allow the transformation to proceed with excellent efficiency. The process was effective in coupling a wide range of functionalized aryl and heteroaryl halides under mild conditions.

Trisubstituted 5-stibano-1H-1,2,3-triazoles were synthesized in moderate to excellent yields by the Cu-catalyzed [3 + 2] cycloaddition of a ethynylstibane with organic azides in the presence of CuBr (5 mol %) under aerobic conditions. The reaction of 5-stibanotriazole with HCl, I2, and NOBF4 afforded 1-benzyl-4-phenyltriazole, 1-benzyl-5-iodo-4-phenyltriazole, and a pentavalent organoantimony c...

The palladium-catalyzed decarboxylative allylic alkylation of enol carbonates derived from lactams and ketones is described. Employing these substrates with an electronically tuned Pd catalyst system trisubstituted chiral centers are produced. These stereocenters have been previously challenging to achieve using Pd complex/chiral P-N ligand systems.
