The first example of transition metal-catalyzed meta-selective CAr-H nitration of arenes is described. With the use of Ru3(CO)12 as the catalyst and Cu(NO3)2·3H2O as the nitro source, a wide spectrum of arenes bearing diversified N-heterocycles or oximido as the directing groups were nitrated with meta-selectivity exclusively. Mechanism studies have demonstrated the formation of a new 18e-octahedral ruthenium species as a key ortho-CAr-H metalated intermediate, which may be responsible for the subsequent meta-selective electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr). Moreover, this approach provides a fast-track strategy for atom/step economical synthesis of many useful pharmaceutical molecules.

Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) and casein kinases 1 (CK1) are involved in the two key molecular features of Alzheimer's disease, production of amyloid-β peptides (extracellular plaques) and hyper-phosphorylation of Tau (intracellular neurofibrillary tangles). A series of 2,6,9-trisubstituted purines, structurally related to the CDK inhibitor roscovitine, have been synthesized. They mainly differ by the substituent on the C-6 position. These compounds were screened for kinase inhibitory activities and antiproliferative effects. Several biaryl derivatives displayed potent inhibition of both CDKs and CK1. In particular, derivative 13a was a potent inhibitor of CDK1/cyclin B (IC50: 220 nM), CDK5/p25 (IC50: 80 nM), and CK1 (IC 50: 14 nM). Modeling of these molecules into the ATP-binding pocket of CK1δ provided a rationale for the increased selectivity toward this kinase. 13a was able to prevent the CK1-dependent production of amyloid-β in a cell model. CDK/CK1 dual-specificity inhibitors may have important applications in Alzheimer's disease and cancers.
