- Synthesis of N-trifluoromethyl amides from carboxylic acids
-
Found in biomolecules, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, amide-containing molecules are ubiquitous in nature, and their derivatization represents a significant methodological goal in fluorine chemistry. Trifluoromethyl amides have emerged as important functional groups frequently found in pharmaceutical compounds. To date, there is no strategy for synthesizing N-trifluoromethyl amides from abundant organic carboxylic acid derivatives, which are ideal starting materials in amide synthesis. Here, we report the synthesis of N-trifluoromethyl amides from carboxylic acid halides and esters under mild conditions via isothiocyanates in the presence of silver fluoride at room temperature. Through this strategy, isothiocyanates are desulfurized with AgF, and then the formed derivative is acylated to afford N-trifluoromethyl amides, including previously inaccessible structures. This method shows broad scope, provides a platform for rapidly generating N-trifluoromethyl amides by virtue of the diversity and availability of both reaction partners, and should find application in the modification of advanced intermediates.

- Benzimidazolinone-Free Peptide o-Aminoanilides for Chemical Protein Synthesis
-
The thioester surrogate 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid (Dbz) facilitates the efficient synthesis of peptide thioesters by Fmoc chemistry solid phase peptide synthesis and the optional attachment of a solubility tag at the C-terminus. The protection of the partially deactivated ortho-amine of Dbz is necessary to obtain contamination-free peptide synthesis. The reported carbamate protecting groups promote a serious side reaction, benzimidazolinone formation. Herein we introduce the Boc-protected Dbz that prevents the benzimidazolinone formation, leading to clean peptide o-aminoanilides suitable for the total chemical synthesis of proteins.

- In vitro radical scavenging and cytotoxic activities of novel hybrid selenocarbamates
-
Novel selenocyanate and diselenide derivatives containing a carbamate moiety were synthesised and evaluated in vitro to determine their cytotoxic and radical scavenging properties. Cytotoxic activity was tested against a panel of human cell lines including CCRF-CEM (lymphoblastic leukaemia), HT-29 (colon carcinoma), HTB-54 (lung carcinoma), PC-3 (prostate carcinoma), MCF-7 (breast adenocarcinoma), 184B5 (non-malignant, mammary gland derived) and BEAS-2B (non-malignant, derived from bronchial epithelium). Most of the compounds displayed high antiproliferative activity with GI50 values below 10 μM in MCF-7, CCRF-CEM and PC-3 cells. Radical scavenging properties of the new selenocompounds were confirmed testing their ability to scavenge DPPH and ABTS radicals. Based on the activity of selenium-based glutathione peroxidases (GPxs), compounds 1a, 2e and 2h were further screened for their capacity to reduce hydrogen peroxide under thiol presence. Results suggest that compound 1a mimics GPxs activity. Cytotoxic parameters, radical scavenging activity and ADME profile point to 1a as promising drug candidate.

- Method for the preparation of aliphatic chloroformates
-
A method for preparing an aliphatic chloroformate comprising, introducing a mixture of at least one aliphatic hydroxyl compound, phosgene, at least one solvent, and optionally at least one organic base into a flow reactor to obtain a unidirectional flowing reaction mixture. The at least one aliphatic hydroxyl compound comprises at least one aliphatic hydroxyl group. The unidirectional flowing reaction mixture is maintained at a temperature between about 0° C. and about 60° C. to produce a single product stream comprising an aliphatic chloroformate.

- Heat-sensitive recording materials and phenol compounds
-
Heat-sensitive recording materials contain an electron-donating chromogenic compound and an electron-attracting compound. The recording materials also contain at least one compound represented by the following formula: STR1 wherein R1 and R3 mean a hydrogen atom or an alkyl, aralkyl or aryl group, R2 and R4 denote an alkyl, alkenyl, aralkyl or aryl group, X1, X2, Y1 and Y2 stand for an oxygen or a sulfur atom, and --Z1 -- and --Z2 -- are a specific aromatic group. Also provided are phenol compounds represented by the following formula: STR2 wherein R1, R2, X1 and Y1 have the same meanings as defined above; R5 and R6 are a hydrogen or halogen atom or an alkyl, alkoxy, aralkyl, aryl or hydroxyl group; p and q stand for an integer of 1-4; R5 and R6 may be either the same or different when p and q represent an integer of 2 or greater; and --Z3 -- means a specific divalent group.

- Palladium Catalysis in Allylic Rearrangements of Propenyl 2-Pyrimidinyl Carbonates to 1-Propenyl-2(1H)-pyrimidinones
-
Propenyl 2-pyrimidiyl carbonates have been prepared and found to undergo allylic rearrangement with Pd(0) catalysis under mild conditions to form N-propenyl-2-pyrimidinones.Carbon dioxide is expelled in the reaction.The nature of the phosphine ligands and the substitution pattern in the allylic system affect the isomer product ratios.
