We have synthesized and evaluated the activity of 3,6-disubstituted pyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines as a new class of KDR kinase inhibitors. Starting with screening lead 1, potency against isolated KDR was fully optimized with 3-thienyl and 4-methoxyphenyl substituents at the 6- and 3-positions (3g, KDR IC50=19 nM), respectively. The synthesis and SAR of these compounds are described.

Generality in asymmetric catalysis can be manifested in dramatic and valuable ways, such as high enantioselectivity across a wide assortment of substrates in a given reaction (broad substrate scope) or as applicability of a given chiral framework across a variety of mechanistically distinct reactions (privileged catalysts). Reactions and catalysts that display such generality hold special utility, because they can be applied broadly and sometimes even predictably in new applications. Despite the great value of such systems, the factors that underlie generality are not well understood. Here, we report a detailed investigation of an asymmetric hydrogen-bond-donor catalyzed oxetane opening with TMSBr that is shown to possess unexpected mechanistic generality. Careful analysis of the role of adventitious protic impurities revealed the participation of competing pathways involving addition of either TMSBr or HBr in the enantiodetermining, ring-opening event. The optimal catalyst induces high enantioselectivity in both pathways, thereby achieving precise stereocontrol in fundamentally different mechanisms under the same conditions and with the same chiral framework. The basis for that generality is analyzed using a combination of experimental and computational methods, which indicate that proximally localized catalyst components cooperatively stabilize and precisely orient dipolar enantiodetermining transition states in both pathways. Generality across different mechanisms is rarely considered in catalyst discovery efforts, but we suggest that it may play a role in the identification of so-called privileged catalysts.

Synergistic use of electrochemistry and organometallic catalysis has emerged as a powerful tool for site-selective C-H functionalization, yet this type of transformation has thus far mainly been limited to arene C-H functionalization. Herein, we report the development of electrochemical vinylic C-H functionalization of acrylic acids with alkynes. In this reaction an iridium catalyst enables C-H/O-H functionalization for alkyne annulation, affording α-pyrones with good to excellent yields in an undivided cell. Preliminary mechanistic studies show that anodic oxidation is crucial for releasing the product and regeneration of an Ir(III) intermediate from a diene-Ir(I) complex, which is a coordinatively saturated, 18-electron complex. Importantly, common chemical oxidants such as Ag(I) or Cu(II) did not give significant amounts of the desired product in the absence of electrical current under otherwise identical conditions.
