Functionalization of the Imidazole Backbone by Means of a Tailored and Optimized Oxidative Heck Cross-Coupling
Cirillo, Davide; Angelucci, Francesco; Bjørsvik, Hans-René (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)A general and selective Pd-catalyzed cross-coupling of aromatic boronic acids with vinyl-imidazoles is disclosed. Unlike most cross-coupling reactions, this method operates well in absence of bases avoiding the formation ... -
Imidazole Backbone Functionalization with Olefin Cross-Metathesis
Angelucci, Francesco; Cirillo, Davide; Bjørsvik, Hans-René (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)A selective and high-rate Ru-catalyzed cross-metathesis reaction of alkenes with vinylimidazole is disclosed. Cross-metathesis is known to operate less efficiently on N-heterocycles, but through optimization by means of ... -
A Scalable High-Yielding and Selective Oxidative Heck Cross-Coupling – A Key Step for the Synthesis of trans- Stilbenes
Cirillo, Davide; Karlsson, Staffan; Bjørsvik, Hans-René (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)A selective oxidative Heck cross-coupling method was developed and optimized as a pivotal step for a synthetic route leading to the trans-stilbene framework. The developed method and synthesis were needed in a SAR study ... -
Structure-Activity-Relationship-Aided Design and Synthesis of xCT Antiporter Inhibitors
Cirillo, Davide; Sarowar, Shahin; Enger, Per Øyvind; Bjørsvik, Hans-René (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)The xCT antiporter is a cell membrane protein involved in active counter-transportation of glutamate (outflux) with cystine (influx) over the human cell membrane. This feature makes the xCT antiporter a crucial element of ...
