- Acridine Orange Hemi(Zinc Chloride) Salt as a Lewis Acid-Photoredox Hybrid Catalyst for the Generation of α-Carbonyl Radicals
-
A readily accessible organic-inorganic hybrid catalyst is reported for the reductive fragmentation of α-halocarbonyl compounds. The robust hybrid catalyst is a self-stabilizing combination of ZnCl2 Lewis acid and acridine orange as the photoactive organic dye. Mechanistic specifics of this hybrid catalyst have been studied in detail using both photophysical and electrochemical experiments. A systematic study enabled the discovery of the appropriate Lewis acid for the effective LUMO stabilization of α-halocarbonyl compounds and thereby lowering of reduction potential within the range of a standard organic dye. This strategy resolves the issues like dehalogenative hydrogenation or homo-coupling of alkyl radicals by guiding the photoredox cycle through an oxidative quenching pathway. The cooperativity between the photoactive organic dye and the Lewis acid counterparts empowers functionalization with a wide range of coupling partners through efficient and controlled generation of alkyl radicals and serves as an appropriate alternative to the expensive late transition metal-based photocatalysts. To demonstrate the application potential of this cooperative catalytic system, four different synthetic transformations of α-carbonyl bromides were explored with broad substrate scopes.

- Highly Deformed o-Carborane Functionalised Non-linear Polycyclic Aromatics with Exceptionally Long C?C Bonds
-
The effect of substituting o-carborane into the most sterically hindered positions of phenanthrene and benzo(k)tetraphene is reported. Synthesised via a Bull–Hutchings–Quayle benzannulation, the crystal structures of these non-linear acenes exhibited the highest aromatic deformation parameters observed for any reported carborane compound to date, and among the largest carboranyl C?C bond length of all organo-substituted o-carboranes. Photoluminescence studies of these compounds demonstrated efficient intramolecular charge-transfer, leading to aggregation induced emission properties. Additionally, an unusual low-energy excimer was observed for the phenanthryl compound. These are two new members of the family of carborane-functionalised non-linear acenes, notable for their peculiar structures and multi-luminescent properties.

- Annulation reaction of cyclic pyridinium ylides with: In situ generated azoalkenes for the construction of spirocyclic skeletons
-
Two new types of cyclic pyridinium ylides were designed and further used in reactions with azoalkenes to access structurally diverse spirocyclic compounds. A range of spiropyrazoline oxindoles could be smoothly obtained in up to 99% yield via a [4 + 1] annulation process with oxindole 3-pyridinium ylides as C1 synthons. Similarly, a series of spiropyrazoline indanones could be prepared with indanone 2-pyridinium ylides as C1 synthons. This work represents the first example of cyclic pyridinium ylides as C1 synthons for the efficient construction of spirocyclic compounds.

- Azologization and repurposing of a hetero-stilbene-based kinase inhibitor: Towards the design of photoswitchable sirtuin inhibitors
-
The use of light as an external trigger to change ligand shape and as a result its bioactivity, allows the probing of pharmacologically relevant systems with spatiotemporal resolution. A hetero-stilbene lead resulting from the screening of a compound that was originally designed as kinase inhibitor served as a starting point for the design of photoswitchable sirtuin inhibitors. Because the original stilbenoid structure exerted unfavourable photochemical characteristics it was remodelled to its heteroarylic diazeno analogue. By this intramolecular azologization, the shape of the molecule was left unaltered, whereas the photoswitching ability was improved. As anticipated, the highly analogous compound showed similar activity in its thermodynamically stable stretched-out (E)-form. Irradiation of this isomer triggers isomerisation to the long-lived (Z)-configuration with a bent geometry causing a considerably shorter end‐to‐end distance. The resulting affinity shifts are intended to enable real‐time photomodulation of sirtuins in vitro.

- The Electrophilic Fluorination of Enol Esters Using SelectFluor: A Polar Two-Electron Process
-
The reaction of enol esters with SelectFluor is facile and leads to the corresponding α-fluoroketones under mild conditions and, as a result, this route is commonly employed for the synthesis of medicinally important compounds such as fluorinated steroids. However, despite the use of this methodology in synthesis, the mechanism of this reaction and the influence of structure on reactivity are unclear. A rigorous mechanistic study of the fluorination of these substrates is presented, informed primarily by detailed and robust kinetic experiments. The results of this study implicate a polar two-electron process via an oxygen-stabilised carbenium species, rather than a single-electron process involving radical intermediates. The structure–reactivity relationships revealed here will assist synthetic chemists in deploying this type of methodology in the syntheses of α-fluoroketones.

- Highly Enantioselective Synthesis of Fused Tri- and Tetrasubstituted Aziridines: aza-Darzens Reaction of Cyclic Imines with α-Halogenated Ketones Catalyzed by Bifunctional Phosphonium Salt
-
The first enantioselective aza-Darzens reaction of cyclic imines with α-halogenated ketones was realized under mild reaction conditions by using amino-acid-derived bifunctional phosphonium salts as phase-transfer promoters. A variety of structurally dense tri- and tetrasubstituted aziridine derivatives, containing benzofused heterocycles as well as spiro-structures, were readily synthesized in high yields with excellent diastereo- and enantioselectivities (up to >20:1 d.r. and >99.9 % ee). The highly functionalized aziridine products could be easily transformed into different classes of biologically active compounds.

- Diversity-Orientated Stereoselective Synthesis through Pd-Catalyzed Switchable Decarboxylative C?N/C?S Bond Formation in Allylic Surrogates
-
Switchable catalytic transformation of reactants can be a powerful approach towards diversity-orientated synthesis from easily available molecular synthons. Herein, an endogenous ligand-controlled, Pd-catalyzed allylic substitution allowing for either selective C?N or C?S bond formation using vinylethylene carbonates (VECs) and N-sulfonylhydrazones as coupling partners has been developed. This versatile methodology provides a facile, divergent route for the highly chemo- and stereoselective synthesis of functional allylic sulfones or sulfonohydrazides. The newly developed protocol features wide substrate scope (nearly 80 examples), broad functional group tolerance, and potential for the late-stage functionalization of bioactive compounds. The isolation and crystallographic analysis of a catalytically competent π-allyl Pd complex suggests that the pathway leading to the allylic products proceeds through a different manifold as previously proposed for the functionalization of VECs with nucleophiles.

α-Bromo ketones are versatile intermediates of high practical utility. Traditional approaches to these compounds are restricted to a relatively hazardous/complex reagent combination, a long reaction time, the use of non-environmentally friendly solvents, or a limited substrate scope. Herein, we describe the development of a new methodology for the preparation of α-bromo ketones from alkenes using 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBH) as a bromine source and an oxidant simultaneously. This easy to carry out two-step one-pot protocol proceeds in water and provides high yield of a great variety of α-bromo ketones. Addition of an amine to the intermediate α-bromo ketone further enables the preparation of α-amino ketones in a one-pot sequence.

- Iminolactones as tools for inversion of the absolute configuration of α-amino acids and as inhibitors of cancer cell proliferation
-
A library of iminolactones was prepared by esterification of several 2-hydroxyketones with a number of N-protected d- and l-α-amino acids. Some of the hydroxyketones were of terpenoid origin while others were obtained via synthesis. After N-deprotection of the intermediate esters, the free amines spontaneously underwent condensation with the ketone to form iminolactones. Esters of (1S,2S,5S)-2-hydroxypinan-3-one with both d- and l-α-amino acids were partially epimerized at the α-carbon atom to give a diastereomeric ester mixture. Only iminolactones of l-amino acids were formed after cyclization of (1S,2S,5S)-2-hydroxypinan-3-one, and correspondingly only d-amino acid iminolactones were formed after reaction with (1R,2R,5R)-2-hydroxypinan-3-one. The protocol thus enables inversion of the absolute configuration of amino acids. Some members of the prepared library of iminolactones displayed significant anti-proliferative effects toward three cancer cell lines (EL4, MCF7, PC3) with insignificant effect on non-malign cell lines (McCoy, MCF10A, NIH3T3). Thus, iminolactones appear to be potential lead structures for preparation of drugs selectively affecting proliferation of malign cell lines.

The desulfonylation of β-arylketosulfones has been achieved in good to excellent yields by using 3-W blue LEDs light, 1 mol-% organic dye eosin Y bis(tetrabutylammonium salt) as photocatalyst, and diisopropylethylamine as reducing agent. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that oxidative quenching of the excited eosin Y by β-arylketosulfones plays a crucial role in the present photoredox catalytic cycle. Reductive desulfonylation is essential to enable to use of a sulfone as an auxiliary group. For reductive removal of sulfones, highly aggressive metal-containing reducing agents and harsh reaction conditions are often employed. In this paper, metal-free desulfonylation of β-arylketosulfones can be achieved efficiently at room temperature under visible-light irradiation.

- Environmentally benign electrophilic and radical bromination 'on water': H2O2-HBr system versus N-bromosuccinimide
-
A H2O2-HBr system and N-bromosuccinimide in an aqueous medium were used as a 'green' approach to electrophilic and radical bromination. Several activated and less activated aromatic molecules, phenylsubstituted ketones and styrene were efficiently brominated 'on water' using both systems at ambient temperature and without an added metal or acid catalyst, whereas various non-activated toluenes were functionalized at the benzyl position in the presence of visible light as a radical activator. A comparison of reactivity and selectivity of both brominating systems reveals the H2O2-HBr system to be more reactive than NBS for benzyl bromination and for the bromination of ketones, while for electrophilic aromatic substitution of methoxy-substituted tetralone it was higher for NBS. Also, higher yields of brominated aromatics were observed when using H2O2-HBr 'on water'. Bromination of styrene reveals that not just the structure of the brominating reagent but the reaction conditions: amount of water, organic solvent, stirring rate and interface structure, play a key role in defining the outcome of bromination (dibromination vs bromohydroxylation). In addition, mild reaction conditions, a straightforward isolation procedure, inexpensive reagents and a lower environment impact make aqueous brominating methods a possible alternative to other reported brominating protocols.

- A modular synthesis of highly substituted imidazolium salts
-
A versatile and modular one-pot method for the preparation of differently substituted symmetrical and unsymmetrical imidazolium salts is reported, and 19 examples are given. In the key step, readily available formamidines and α-halo ketones are coupled to give imidazolinium salts 3, followed by imidazolium salt formation by acylation-induced elimination. For many substitution patterns of the imidazolium salt products, this efficient strategy compares favorably with well-known processes in terms of yield, ease of synthesis, and robustness.

- Halogenation of ketones with N-halosuccinimides under solvent-free reaction conditions
-
Several aryl substituted ketones, cyclic ketones, 1,3-diketones and a β-ketoamide were halogenated with N-halosuccinimides under solvent-free reaction conditions (SFRC) at various temperatures (20-80 °C), whereas less enolized ketones required the presence of an acid catalyst (p-toluenesulfonic acid, PTSA). Bromination of substituted acetophenones obeys first order kinetics v=kBr[ketone] and the following correlation with the keto-enol equilibrium constant: log kBr=0.3pKE+C1, less enolized substrates being more reactive; the moderate positive charge developed in the rate determining step was confirmed by the Hammett correlation (ρ=-0.5). On the other hand, in cyclic ketones an opposite relation was observed: log kBr=-0.6pKE+C2, indicating higher reactivity of substrates with higher enolization constant (KE). The important role of the nature of the solvent (MeCN, MeOH) in preorganization of the ketone-NBS-PTSA mixture prior to SFRC bromination was found.

- A convenient one-pot synthesis of thiazol-2-imines: application in the construction of pifithrin analogues
-
For the first time a reaction intermediate has been isolated giving further insight into the mechanism of thiazol-2-imine formation. The first step of the reaction requires a basic medium, while the second step is an acid mediated E1 elimination reaction. An efficient one-pot synthesis of substituted thiazol-2-imines have been achieved by the condensation of carbonyl compounds with thioureas and 1,3-disubstituted thioureas using 1,1′-(ethane-1,2-diyl)dipyridinium bistribromide (EDPBT). Unsymmetrical 1,3-disubstituted thioureas give regioselective products with symmetrical ketones, which are mainly governed by the pKas of NH protons of thiourea, whereas symmetrical 1,3-disubstituted thioureas give regioselective products with symmetrical carbonyl compounds owing to the regioselective bromination of ketones. The methodology is extended to access novel neurodegenerative drug candidate pifithrin-α analogues in good yields in shorter reaction time. This method is simple, versatile and is applicable for different 1,3-disubstituted thioureas as well as a range of carbonyl compounds.

- Ionic liquid promoted selective debromination of α-bromoketones under microwave irradiation
-
The debromination of α-bromoketones with an easily accessible ionic liquid, 1-methyl-3-pentylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, [pmIm]BF4 under microwave irradiation has been investigated. By controlling the reaction time gem-α-dibromoketones are selectively debrominated to either monobromo or debromoketones. The α-monobromo- and α-monoiodoketones are dehalogenated while the corresponding chloroketones remain inert. The activated vic-bromoacetates are converted to the corresponding (E)-alkenes by the same procedure. These reactions do not require any organic solvent, any metal or any conventional reducing agent. The ionic liquid works here as catalyst as well as reaction medium and is recycled without any appreciable loss of its catalytic efficiency.

- Halogenation of carbonyl compounds by an ionic liquid, [AcMIm]X, and Ceric Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)
-
An ionic liquid, acetylmethylimidazolium halide ([AcMIm]X), in combination with ceric ammonium nitrate promotes halogenations of a wide variety of ketones and 1,3-keto esters at the ?-position. The ionic liquid acts here as reagent as well as reaction medium, and thus the reaction does not require any organic solvent or conventional halogenating agent. The reaction is completely arrested when the radical quencher TEMPO is used. A plausible radical mechanism is also suggested. CSIRO 2007.

- Synthesis and evaluation of heteroaryl-substituted dihydronaphthalenes and indenes: Potent and selective inhibitors of aldosterone synthase (CYP11B2) for the treatment of congestive heart failure and myocardial fibrosis
-
In this study, the synthesis and biological evaluation of heteroaryl-substituted dihydronaphthalenes and indenes (1-16) is described. The compounds were tested for activity by use of human CYP11B2 expressed in fission yeast and V79 MZh cells and for selectivity by use of human CYP11B1, CYP17, and CYP19. The most active inhibitor was the 6-methoxydihydronaphthalene 4 (IC 50 = 2 nM), showing a Ki value of 1.3 nM and a competitive type of inhibition. The 5-methoxyindene 3 was found to be the most selective CYP11B2 inhibitor (IC50 = 4 nM; CYP11B1 IC50 = 5684 nM), which also showed only marginal inhibition of human CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. Docking and molecular dynamics studies using our homology-modeled CYP11B2 structure were performed to understand some structure-activity relationships. Caco-2 cell experiments revealed highly cell-permeable compounds, and metabolic studies with 4 using rat liver microsomes showed sufficient stability.
