Amides as surrogates of aldehydes for C-C bond formation: amide-based direct Knoevenagel-type condensation reaction and related reactions

, p. 11 - 15 (2020)
Aldehydes are perhaps the most versatile compounds that enable many C-C bond forming reactions, which are not amenable for other subclasses of carbonyl compounds. We report the first use of amides as surrogates of aldehydes for C-C bond formation, namely,

Inhibition of TLR4 signaling is an important therapeutic strategy for intervention in the etiology of several pro-inflammatory diseases. There has been intensive research in recent years aiming to explore this strategy, and identify small molecule inhibitors of the TLR4 pathway. However, the recent failure of a number of advanced drug candidates targeting TLR4 signaling (e.g., TAK242 and Eritoran) prompted us to continue the search for novel chemical scaffolds to inhibit this critical inflammatory response pathway. Here we report the identification of a group of new TLR4 signaling inhibitors through a cell-based screening. A series of arylidene malonate analogs were synthesized and assayed in murine macrophages for their inhibitory activity against LPS-induced nitric oxide (NO) production. The lead compound 1 (NCI126224) was found to suppress LPS-induced production of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB), tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), and nitric oxide (NO) in the nanomolar-low micromolar range. Taken together, this study demonstrates that 1 is a promising potential therapeutic candidate for various inflammatory diseases.
Synthesis of polysubstituted 1,3-cyclohexadicnes from β-branched α,β-alkenals and monoesters of ylidenemalonic acids

3-Methyl- and 3-phenyl-2-butenal react with monoesters of alkylidene-, alkenylidene-, and arylmethylenemalonic acids in the presence of piperidine as the catalyst to give esters of 4,6-disubstituted 1,3-cyclohexadienecarboxylic acids in 23-96 % yields. Under the same conditions cyclohexylideneacetic aldehyde reacts with the monoesters of prenylidene- and benzylidenemalonic acid to afford mixtures of 1,8a-trans- and 1,8a-cis-isomers of 1-substituted alkyl 1,5,6,7,8,8a-hexahydronaphthalene-2-carboxylates, the ratios and configurations of which were determined by means of 1H NMR spectroscopy. In some cases the formation of cyclic dienes is impeded by the competing process of decarboxylation of acidic ylidenemalonates. The derivatives of 4,6-diphenyl-1,3-cyclohexadienecarboxylic acid were shown to be convenient precursors for the preparation of meta-terphenyls.
