- Synthesis, in vitro, and in vivo evaluation of novel functionalized quaternary ammonium curcuminoids as potential anti-cancer agents
-
Novel functionalized quaternary ammonium curcuminoids have been synthesized from piperazinyl curcuminoids and Baylis-Hillman reaction derived allyl bromides. These molecules are found to be highly water soluble with increased cytotoxicity compared to native curcumin against three cancer cell lines MIAPaCa-2, MDA-MB-231, and 4T1. Preliminary in vivo toxicity evaluation of a representative curcuminoid 5a in healthy mice indicates that this molecule is well tolerated based on normal body weight gains compared to control group. Furthermore, the efficacy of 5a has been tested in a pancreatic cancer xenograft model of MIAPaCa-2 and has been found to exhibit good tumor growth inhibition as a single agent and also in combination with clinical pancreatic cancer drug gemcitabine.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Allyl-Allyl Reductive Coupling of Allylamines or Allylic Alcohols with H2as Sole Reductant
-
Catalytic carbon-carbon bond formation building on reductive coupling is a powerful method for the preparation of organic compounds. The identification of environmentally benign reductants is key for establishing an efficient reductive coupling reaction. Herein an efficient strategy enabling H2 as the sole reductant for the palladium-catalyzed allyl-allyl reductive coupling reaction is described. A wide range of allylamines and allylic alcohols as well as allylic ethers proceed smoothly to deliver the C-C coupling products under 1 atm of H2. Kinetic studies suggested that the dinuclear palladium species was involved in the catalytic cycle.

- Halodeboronation of organotrifluoroborates using tetrabutylammonium tribromide or cesium triiodide
-
Halodeboronation of organotrifluoroborates using commercially available tetrabutylammonium tribromide (TBATB) or cesium triiodide in aqueous medium is reported. The mild, transition metal-free method has proven to be tolerant of a wide range of functional groups. High regio- and chemoselectivity are observed. Two synthetic routes to (Z)-dibromoalkenes from alkynes, through stereodefined (Z)-2-bromoalkenyltrifluoroborates and (Z)-1,2-bis(boryl) alkenyltrifluoroborates, have been developed using the TBATB mediated bromodeboronation as the key step.

- Chemoselective bromodeboronation of organotrifluoroborates using tetrabutylammonium tribromide: Application in (Z)-dibromoalkene syntheses
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Tetrabutylammonlum trlbromlde (TBATB) has been found to be a unique bromodeboronatlon reagent for organotrlf luoroborates. When compared to previously reported bromodeboronatlon methods, the mild and metal-free reaction conditions tolerate a wider range of functional groups. High reglo- and chemoselectlvlty are observed In the presence of both unsaturated carbon-carbon bonds and aldehyde functional groups. An efficient synthetic route to (Z)-dlbromoalkenes from terminal alkynes has been developed using the TBATB-medlated bromodeboronatlon as a key step.

- Pd(0)-catalyzed couplings using bromide and chloride derivatives of Baylis-Hillman adducts with triarylbismuths as atom-efficient multi-coupling nucleophiles
-
Bromide and chloride derivatives of Baylis-Hillman adducts have been demonstrated to react efficiently with triarylbismuths affording allylic arylated products in high yields under palladium-catalyzed conditions. Triarylbismuths have been employed in sub-stoichiometric amounts as multi-coupling and atom-efficient nucleophiles in these reactions. The reactivity of both allylic bromides and chlorides was found to be facile and equally efficient in couplings with triarylbismuths.
