By taking the advantage of PPh3/Selectfluor system, carboxylic acids are efficiently converted into the pivotal intermediates acyloxyphosphonium ions that can selectively react with a second carboxylic acid or fluoride to in situ yield the corresponding acid anhydrides or acyl fluorides. The developed protocol features commercially availabile reagents, no involvement of base, room temperature conditions, and simple experimental procedure. Additionally, various amides or esters are readily achieved, respectively, with the addition of amines or alcohols.

Rhodium-catalyzed C7-selective decarbonylative arylation, olefination, and methylation of indoles with carboxylic acids or anhydrides by C?H and C?C bond activation have been developed. Furthermore, C7-acylation products can also be generated selectively at a lower reaction temperature in the developed system. The key to the high reactivity and regioselectivity of this transformation is the appropriate choice of an indole N-PtBu2 chelation-assisted group. This method has many advantages, including easy access and removal of the directing group, the use of cheap and widely available coupling agents, no requirement of an external ligand or oxidant, a broad substrate scope, high efficiency, and the formation of a sole regioisomer.

A new fragment-based method for the rapid development of novel and distinct classes of nonpeptidic protease inhibitors, Substrate Activity Screening (SAS), is described. This method consists of three steps: (1) a library of N-acyl aminocoumarins with diverse, low molecular weight N-acyl groups is screened to identify protease substrates using a simple fluorescence-based assay, (2) the identified N-acyl aminocoumarin substrates are optimized by rapid analogue synthesis and evaluation, and (3) the optimized substrates are converted to inhibitors by direct replacement of the aminocoumarin with known mechanism-based pharmacophores. The SAS method was successfully applied to the cysteine protease cathepsin S, which is implicated in autoimmune diseases. Multiple distinct classes of nonpeptidic substrates were identified upon screening an N-acyl aminocoumarin library. Two of the nonpeptidic substrate classes were optimized to substrates with >8000-fold improvements in cleavage efficiency for each class. Select nonpeptidic substrates were then directly converted to low molecular weight, novel aldehyde inhibitors with nanomolar affinity to cathepsin S. This study demonstrates the unique characteristics and merits of this first substrate-based method for the rapid identification and optimization of weak fragments and provides the framework for the development of completely nonpeptidic inhibitors to many different proteases.
