Herein, we report a ruthenium-catalyzed redox-neutral α-alkylation of unsaturated alcohols based on a synergistic relay process involving olefin isomerization (chain walking) and umpolung hydrazone addition, which takes advantage of the interaction between the two rather inefficient individual reaction steps to enable an efficient overall process. This transformation shows the compatibility of hydrazone-type “carbanions” and active protons in a one-pot reaction, and at the same time achieves the first Grignard-type nucleophilic addition using olefinic alcohols as latent carbonyl groups, providing a higher yield of the corresponding secondary alcohol than the classical hydrazone addition to aldehydes does. A broad scope of unsaturated alcohols and hydrazones, including some complex structures, can be successfully employed in this reaction, which shows the versatility of this approach and its suitability as an alternative, efficient means for the generation of secondary and tertiary alcohols.
Discovery of heterocyclic nonacetamide synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) ligands with single-digit nanomolar potency: Opening avenues towards the first SV2A positron emission tomography (PET) ligands

The role of the synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) protein, target of the antiepileptic drug levetiracetam, is still mostly unknown. Considering its potential to provide in vivo functional insights into the role of SV2A in epileptic patients, the development of an SV2A positron emission tomography (PET) tracer has been undertaken. Using a 3D pharmacophore model based on close analogues of levetiracetam, we report the rationale design of three heterocyclic non-acetamide lead compounds, UCB-A, UCB-H and UCB-J, the first single-digit nanomolar SV2A ligands with suitable properties for development as PET tracers. Avenues towards imaging... of synaptic vesicle protein 2A (SV2A) in vivo were opened after the rationale discovery of the first non-acetamide SV2A ligands, displaying single-digit nanomolar potency, using a 3D pharmacophore model. An extensive profiling of the most potent compounds allowed the identification of three leads (see figure) as potential candidates for positron emission tomography (PET) ligand development.
Unusual temperature dependence of salt effects for "on water" Wittig reaction: Hydrophobicity at the interface

An unusual variation with temperature of the salt effects in aqueous Wittig reaction is observed, suggesting that hydrophobic acceleration of reactions comprising "on water" reactants is fundamentally different from that for reactions with small non-polar solutes. The Royal Society of Chemistry.
