In our population, MetS subjects had an elevated risk of VaD that increased after excluding patients with baseline undernutrition and selecting MetS subjects with high inflammation.
A novel and convenient approach to functionalized pyrroles is presented, based on Pd-catalyzed oxidative heterocyclization-alkoxycarbonylation of readily available N-Boc-1-amino-3-yn-2-ols. Reactions were carried out in alcoholic solvents at 80-100 °C and under 20 atm (at 25 °C) of a 4:1 mixture of CO-air, in the presence of the PdI(2)-KI catalytic system (2-5 mol % of PdI(2), KI/PdI(2) molar ratio = 10). In the case of N-Boc-1-amino-3-yn-2-ols 3, bearing alkyl or aryl substituents, the carbonylation reaction led to a mixture of Boc-protected and N-unsubstituted pyrrole-3-carboxylic esters 4 and 5, respectively. This mixture could be conveniently and quantitatively converted into deprotected pyrrole-3-carboxylic esters 5 by a simple basic treatment. In the case of diastereomeric (3RS,4RS)- and (3RS,4SR)-N-Boc-3-amino-2-methyldec-5-yn-4-ol (syn-3f and anti-3f, respectively, whose relative configuration was determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis), no particular difference was observed in the reactivity of the two diastereomers between them and with respect to the diastereomeric mixture (3S,4S) + (3S,4R). Interestingly, N-Boc-2-alkynyl-1-amino-3-yn-2-ols 6, bearing an additional alkynyl substituent α to the hydroxyl group, spontaneously underwent N-deprotection under the reaction conditions and regioselective water addition to the alkynyl group at C-3 of the corresponding pyrrole-3-carboxylic ester derivative, thus directly affording highly functionalized pyrrole derivatives 7 in one step. In a similar manner, a novel functionalized dihydropyrrolizine derivative 9 was directly synthesized starting from (S)-7-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)trideca-5,8-diyn-7-ol 8.
NbCl(5) x (N,N'-dicyclohexylurea) 1a owns a distorted octahedral structure due to intramolecular NH...Cl bonding. The unit cell contains four units which are intermolecularly NH...Cl and NH...N bonded. An extended intramolecular network of H-bonding (N-H...Cl, CH...Cl, CH...N) causes the 3D self assembling of the units. Upon addition of base, the HCl release from 1a is observed with the transfer to Nb of the O-atom of the carbonylic function of the starting urea which is converted into the relevant carbodiimide CyN=C=NCy 4. The latter is quantitatively released by adding an excess of NEt(3) at 308 K (py and DBU are less efficient) with formation of the known NbOCl(3)(NEt(3))(2), isolated in quantitative yield. Increasing the temperature leads to a loss in selectivity as the formed DCC undergoes further reactions. At 350 K, the isocyanate CyN=C=O has been isolated in 60% yield besides a mixture of Nb-complexes. DFT calculations have been coupled to IR and NMR experiments for characterizing possible reaction intermediates and the behaviour of 1a. Several other MCl(x) species (ScCl(3), YCl(3), LaCl(3), TiCl(4), TaCl(5), AlCl(3), SnCl(4)) have been shown to be able to co-ordinate DCU but not all of them promote the conversion of urea into DCC.
