The presence of salicylic acid (10 mol-%) and H2O (10 equiv.) significantly improves the arylation-lactonization sequence of γ-alkenoic acids with in situ formed diazonium salts (from bench stable anilines). The reaction is finished in less than 5 h without thermal or photochemical activation, giving access to a variety of γ,γ-disubstituted butyrolactones. The protocol is user-friendly and can be used at gram-scale or adapted to transform alkenols into phthalanes. Control experiments revealed that aryl radicals participate in the reaction and a plausible mechanism is proposed to include this and other mechanistic investigations, for the catalyzed and the background reaction.

A novel series of 4-phenylisoquinolones were synthesized and evaluated as c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) inhibitors. Initial modification at the 2- and 3-positions of the isoquinolone ring of hit compound 4, identified from high-throughput screening, led to the lead compound 6b. The optimization was carried out using a JNK1-binding model of 6b and several compounds exhibited potent JNK inhibition. Among them, 11g significantly inhibited cardiac hypertrophy in rat pressure-overload models without affecting blood pressure and the concept of JNK inhibitors as novel therapeutic agents for heart failure was confirmed.
