Palladium-Catalyzed Direct α-Arylation of p-Methoxybenzyl-Protected S,S-Dimethylsulfoximine

February 23, 2017

Juan A. Sirvent, Bayer Pharma AG, Drug Discovery Palladium-Catalyzed Direct α-Arylation of p-Methoxybenzyl-Protected S,S-Dimethylsulfoximine Sulfoximines have recently gained considerable recognition as an important structural motif in the life sciences. This is especially true for (hetero)aryl-substituted S,S-dimethylsulfoximine derivatives, such as the marketed insecticide sulfoxaflor, as well as the clinical candidates PTEFb inhibitor BAY 1143572 and ATR inhibitor AZD 6738 for the treatment of cancer. Herein, the first palladium-catalyzed direct α-arylation of p-methoxybenzyl-protected S,S-dimethylsulfoximine using readily available (hetero)aryl bromides is reported. This new method provides a safe, short, and efficient approach to (hetero)arylsubstituted S,S-dimethylsulfoximine derivatives, an important class of bioactive compounds, demonstrated by application of this methodology to an improved synthesis of PTEFb inhibitor BAY 1143572.

Autonomous Synthesis and Inverse Design of Electrochromic Polymers with High Efficiency and Accuracy

The design and synthesis of functional polymers, aimed at targeted properties through specific structures, have long been challenged by their complex and often nonlinear structure− property relationships. Key processes, including knowledge accumulation for predictive design and experimental refinement and validation, are traditionally labor-insensitive and timeconsuming, making it difficult to balance accuracy and efficiency.

Localization, inspection, and reasoning (LIRA) module for autonomous workflows in self-driving laboratories

Self-driving labs (SDLs) combine robotic automation with artificial intelligence (AI) to allow autonomous, high-throughput experimentation. However, robot manipulation in most SDL workflows operates in an open-loop manner, lacking real-time error detection and error correction. This can reduce reliability and overall efficiency.
