Gas phase decompositions of protonated methyl benzoate and its conjugates have been studied by using electrospray ionization-collision induced dissociation-tandem mass spectrometry. Loss of CO2 molecule, thus transfer of methyl group, has been observed. In order to better understand this process, the theoretical calculations have been performed. For methyl benzoate conjugates, it has been found that position of substituent affects the loss of CO2 molecule, not the electron donor/withdrawing properties of the substituent. Therefore, electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry in positive ion mode may be useful for differentiation of isomers of methyl benzoate conjugates.

GPR52 is an orphan G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that has been recently implicated as a potential drug target of Huntington's disease (HD), an incurable monogenic neurodegenerative disorder. In this research, we found that striatal knockdown of GPR52 reduces mHTT levels in adult HdhQ140 mice, validating GPR52 as an HD target. In addition, we discovered a highly potent and specific GPR52 antagonist Comp-43 with an IC50 value of 0.63 μM by a structure-activity relationship (SAR) study. Further studies showed that Comp-43 reduces mHTT levels by targeting GPR52 and promotes survival of mouse primary striatal neurons. Moreover, in vivo study showed that Comp-43 not only reduces mHTT levels but also rescues HD-related phenotypes in HdhQ140 mice. Taken together, our study confirms that inhibition of GPR52 is a promising strategy for HD therapy, and the GPR52 antagonist Comp-43 might serve as a lead compound for further investigation.

P-Rhodamines were accessed by implementing a robust three step sequence consisting of (i) addition of m-metallated anilines to dichlorophosphine oxides, (ii) selective dibromination, and (iii) cyclization of the diaryllithium reagents derived from the dib
Synthesis and Characterization of Acridinium Dyes for Photoredox Catalysis

Photoredox catalysis is a rapidly evolving platform for synthetic methods development. The prominent use of acridinium salts as a sustainable option for photoredox catalysts has driven the development of more robust and synthetically useful versions based on this scaffold. However, more complicated syntheses, increased cost, and limited commercial availability have hindered the adoption of these catalysts by the greater synthetic community. By utilizing the direct conversion of a xanthylium salt into the corresponding acridinium as the key transformation, we present an efficient and scalable preparation of the most synthetically useful acridinium reported to date. This divergent strategy also enabled the preparation of a suite of novel acridinium dyes, allowing for a systematic investigation of substitution effects on their photophysical properties.
