  • Patent number: 9512139
    Abstract: Conformationally restricted, spatially defined 12-30 membered macrocyclic ring systems of formulae Ia and Ib are constituted by three distinct molecular parts: Template A, conformation Modulator B and Bridge C. These macrocycles Ia and Ib are readily manufactured by parallel synthesis or combinatorial chemistry in solution or on solid phase. They are designed to interact with a variety of specific biological target classes, examples being the agonistic or antagonistic activity on G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs), ion channels and signal transduction pathways. In particular, these macrocycles act as antagonists of the motilin receptor, the FP receptor and the purinergic receptors P2Y1, as modulators of the serotonin receptor of subtype 5-HT2B, as blockers of the voltage-gated potassium channel Kv1.3 and as inhibitors of the ?-catenin-dependent “canonical” Wnt pathway. Thus they are showing great potential as medicaments for a variety of diseases.

  • Patent number: 9512155
    Abstract: The disclosure provides new and improved methods for the Pd-catalyzed asymmetric ?-arylation of ester compounds, which produce the corresponding ?-aryl moiety in high enantioselectivity (generally >90% ee). The present methods utilize a palladium catalyst supported by new (R)—H8-BINOL-derived monophosphine ligands. The method is applicable to a wide variety of aryl triflate substrates having variations in both electronic and steric properties. These aryl triflate substrates react with various ?-alkyl (Z)- and/or (E)-0-trimethylsilyl ketene acetals in the presence of a Pd catalyst, (R)—H8-BINOL-derived monophosphine ligand, and a mild activator, for example, LiOAC, to provide the asymmetric ?-arylation of ester compounds in high ee.
