Regioselective gold-catalyzed oxidative C-N bond formation

A novel protocol for the regioselective intermolecular amination of various arenes has been developed. By using an I(III) oxidant in the presence of a Au(I) catalyst, a direct and novel route for regioselectively accessing a variety of substituted aniline moieties has been achieved with yields as high as 90%. Mechanistic insight suggests that regioselectivity can be predicted based on electrophilic aromatic metalation patterns.

Nitrogen-centered radical-mediated C-H imidation of arenes and heteroarenes via visible light induced photocatalysis

The C-H imidation of arenes and heteroarenes has been achieved via visible light induced photocatalysis. In the presence of an iridium(iii) photoredox catalyst, the reaction of aromatic substrates with N-chlorophthalimide furnishes the N-aryl products at room temperature through a nitrogen-centered radical mediated aromatic substitution.

Magnetic nanocatalyst for the synthesis of maleimide and phthalimide derivatives

An efficient and green protocol for the synthesis of N-aryl maleimide and phthalimide derivatives has been developed. The high efficiency of the catalyst was observed due to the homogeneous distribution of the nanoparticles. The catalyst was fully characterised by physicochemical methods such as IR spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction, dynamic light scattering (DLS), energy dispersive X-ray spectrum and zeta potential measurement techniques. The ease of separation of the catalyst from the reaction mixture and its high activity are eco-friendly attributes of this system.

Sterically controlled, palladium-catalyzed intermolecular amination of arenes

We report the Pd-catalyzed amination of arenes to form N-aryl phthalimides with regioselectivity controlled predominantly by steric effects. Mono-, di-, and trisubstituted arenes lacking a directing group undergo amination reactions with moderate to high yields and high regioselectivities from sequential addition of PhI(OAc)2 as an oxidant in the presence of Pd(OAc) 2 as catalyst. This sterically derived selectivity contrasts that for analogous arene acetoxylation.

Synthesis and crystal structure studies of three n-phenylphthalimide derivatives

The three N-phenylphthalimide derivatives, 2-(3,4-dichlorophenyl) isoindoline-1,3-dione (I), 2-(2,4-dichlorophenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (II) and 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione (III), were synthesized by the condensation of equimolar amounts of phthalic anhydride and 3,4-dichloroaniline, 2,4-dichloroaniline, 2,4,5-trichloroaniline, respectively, under acetic acid reflux and their structures determined by a combination of elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H & 13C-NMR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Compounds I and II crystallize in a monoclinic crystal system (space group P21/c) with cell parameters of a = 5.7414(2), b = 8.0917(6), c = 26.077(1) A and β = 99.4709(12) o for compound I, and a = 12.7133(9), b = 13.4328(9), c = 7.2603(5) A and β = 93.210 (2)o for compound II. On the other hand, compound III crystallizes in a tetragonal crystal system (space group I4 1/a) with a = 13.4607(9) and c = 30.100(2) A. The phthalimide moieties of these compounds are essentially planar, while the chloro-substituted phenyl ring of each compound shows consistent twist from the phthalimide plane with dihedral angles of 61.02(3), 69.09(3) and 85.78(5)o, respectively, for I, II and III. In the crystal structures of these compounds, a few weak C-H···O interactions form double-tape structures of centrosymmetric dimers of graph-set notation R 2 2 (10) for I and III, and an inversion dimer of graph-set motif R 2 2 (14) for II. In addition, some short contacts of C···C, C···O and Cl·· ·Cl are observed for I, II and III, respectively.

Metal-free intermolecular oxidative C-N bond formation via tandem C-H and N-H bond functionalization

The development of a novel intermolecular oxidative amination reaction, a synthetic transformation that involves the simultaneous functionalization of both a N-H and C-H bond, is described. The process, which is mediated by an I(III) oxidant and contains no metal catalysts, provides a rapid and green method for synthesizing protected anilines from simple arenes and phthalimide. Mechanistic investigations indicate that the reaction proceeds via nucleophilic attack of the phthalimide on an aromatic radical cation, as opposed to the electrophilic aromatic amination that has been reported for other I(III) amination reactions. The application of this new reaction to the synthesis of a variety of substituted aniline derivatives is demonstrated.

Intermolecular oxidative C-N bond formation under metal-free conditions: Control of chemoselectivity between aryl sp2 and benzylic sp 3 C-H bond imidation

A new synthetic approach toward intermolecular oxidative C-N bond formation of arenes has been developed under transition-metal-free conditions. Complete control of chemoselectivity between aryl sp2 and benzylic sp 3 C-H bond imidation was achieved by the choice of nitrogen sources, representatively being phthalimide and dibenzenesulfonimide, respectively.

Thalidomide analogues demonstrate dual inhibition of both angiogenesis and prostate cancer

The identification of agents with antiproliferative activity against endothelial cells has significant value for the treatment of many angiogenesis-dependent pathologies. Herein, we describe the discovery of a series of thalidomide analogues possessing inhibitory effects against both endothelial and prostate cancer cells. More specifically, several analogues exhibited low micromolar to mid-nanomolar potency in the inhibition of human microvascular endothelial cell (HMEC) proliferation, both in the presence and absence of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), with the tetrafluorophthalimido class of compounds demonstrating the greatest potency. Additionally, all the compounds were screened against two different androgen independent prostate cancer cell lines (PC-3 and DU-145). Again, the tetrafluorophthalimido analogues exhibited the greatest effect with GI 50 values in the low micromolar range. Thalidomide was found to demonstrate selective inhibition of androgen receptor positive LNCaP prostate cancer cells. Furthermore, we showed that, as an example, tetrafluorophthalimido analogue 19 was able to completely inhibit the prostate specific antigen (PSA) secretion by the LNCaP cell line, while thalidomide demonstrated a 70% inhibition. We have also demonstrated that a correlation exists between HMEC and prostate cancer cell proliferation for this structural class. Altogether, our study suggests that these analogues may serve as promising leads for the development of agents that target both androgen dependent and independent prostate cancer and blood vessel growth.

Process for the production of cyclic carboxylic acid imides

In a process for reacting an aromatic or hydroaromatic alicyclic or heterocyclic dicarboxylic acid or its anhydride with an aliphatic or aromatic alicyclic or heterocyclic mono- or di-amine to produce an N-substituted dicarboxylic acid imide with a splitting off of water, the improvement of carrying out the reaction in a liquid solvent mixture consisting essentially of a non-polar organic solvent and a strongly polar organic solvent which together form a ternary azeotrope with water at reaction temperatures between about 40°C. and 160°C. The imide products are generally known for use as intermediates and final products in a number of industries.
