A modular and highly efficient protocol for the synthesis of 2-aryl- and heteroaryl-2H-chromenes is described. Under base-free conditions, readily accessible 2-ethoxy-2H-chromenes undergo C(sp(3))-O activation and C(sp(3))-C bond formation in the presence of an inexpensive nickel catalyst and boronic acids. This
Rhodium(I)-catalyzed 1,4-addition of arylboronic acids to acrylic acid in water: one-step preparation of 3-arylpropionic acids
Journal of medicinal chemistry, 55(8), 3756-3776 (2012-03-21)
As part of a program to identify potent GPR40 agonists with drug-like properties suitable for clinical development, the incorporation of polar substituents was explored with the intention of decreasing the lipophilicity of our recently disclosed phenylpropanoic acid derivative 1. This
