- Halogen-Lithium Exchange of Sensitive (Hetero)aromatic Halides under Barbier Conditions in a Continuous Flow Set-Up
-
A halogen-lithium exchange reaction of (hetero)aromatic halides performed in the presence of various electrophiles such as aldehydes, ketones, Weinreb amides, and imines using BuLi as exchange reagent and a commercially available flow set-up is reported. The organolithiums generated in situ were instantaneously trapped with various electrophiles (Barbier conditions) resulting in the formation of polyfunctional (hetero)arenes. This method enables the functionalization of (hetero)arenes containing highly sensitive functional groups such as esters, which are not tolerated in batch conditions.

- Targeting the aryl hydrocarbon receptor with a novel set of triarylmethanes
-
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a chemical sensor upregulating the transcription of responsive genes associated with endocrine homeostasis, oxidative balance and diverse metabolic, immunological and inflammatory processes, which have raised the pharmacological interest on its modulation. Herein, a novel set of 32 unsymmetrical triarylmethane (TAM) class of structures has been synthesized, characterized and their AhR transcriptional activity evaluated using a cell-based assay. Eight of the assayed TAM compounds (14, 15, 18, 19, 21, 22, 25, 28) exhibited AhR agonism but none of them showed antagonist effects. TAMs bearing benzotrifluoride, naphthol or heteroaromatic (indole, quinoline or thiophene) rings seem to be prone to AhR activation unlike phenyl substituted or benzotriazole derivatives. A molecular docking analysis with the AhR ligand binding domain (LBD) showed similarities in the binding mode and in the interactions of the most potent TAM identified 4-(pyridin-2-yl (thiophen-2-yl)methyl)phenol (22) compared to the endogenous AhR agonist 5,11-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]carbazole-12-carbaldehyde (FICZ). Finally, in silico predictions of physicochemical and biopharmaceutical properties for the most potent agonistic compounds were performed and these exhibited acceptable druglikeness and good ADME profiles. To our knowledge, this is the first study assessing the AhR modulatory effects of unsymmetrical TAM class of compounds.

- A convenient and practical heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki coupling of aryl iodides with formic acid as carbon monoxide source
-
A practical heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki coupling of aryl iodides with arylboronic acids under carbon monoxide gas-free conditions has been developed using a bidentate phosphino-functionalized magnetic nanoparticle-immobilized palladium(II) complex as catalyst. Formic acid was utilized as the carbon monoxide source with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as the activator, and a wide variety of biaryl ketones were generated in moderate to high yields. The new heterogeneous palladium catalyst can be prepared via a simple procedure and can easily be separated from a reaction mixture by simply applying an external magnet and recycled up to 10 times without any loss of activity.

- Room Temperature Metal-Catalyzed Oxidative Acylation of Electron-Deficient Heteroarenes with Alkynes, Its Mechanism, and Application Studies
-
Herein, we report an original one-step, simple, room-temperature, regioselective Minisci reaction for the acylation of electron-deficient heteroarenes with alkynes. The method has broad functional group compatibility and gives exclusively monoacylated products in good to excellent yields. The mechanistic pathway was analyzed based on a series of experiments confirming the involvement of a radical pathway. The 18O-labeling experiment suggested that water is a source of oxygen in the acylated product, and head space GC-MS experiment shows the C-C cleavage occurs via release as CO2.

- Iridium-Catalyzed Highly Enantioselective Transfer Hydrogenation of Aryl N-Heteroaryl Ketones with N-Oxide as a Removable ortho-Substituent
-
A highly enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of non-ortho-substituted aryl N-heteroaryl ketones, using readily available chiral diamine-derived iridium complex (S,S)-1f as a catalyst and sodium formate as a hydrogen source in a mixture of H2O/i-PrOH (v/v = 1:1) under ambient conditions, is described. The chiral aryl N-heteroaryl methanols were obtained with up to 98.2% ee by introducing an N-oxide as a removable ortho-substituent. In contrast, no more than 15.1% ee was observed in the absence of an N-oxide moiety. Furthermore, the practical utility of this protocol was also demonstrated by gram-scale asymmetric synthesis of bepotastine besilate in 51% total yield and 99.9% ee.

- Rhodium Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of 2-Pyridine Ketones
-
Catalyzed by [Rh(COD)Binapine]BF4, the asymmetric hydrogenation of 2-pyridine ketones has been achieved with excellent enantioselectivities (enantiomeric excesses up to 99%) under mild conditions. This method is suitable for various kinds of 2-pyridine ketones and their derivatives. A number of enantiomerically pure chiral 2-pyridine-aryl/alkyl alcohols were prepared through hydrogenation, which can be used directly in organic synthesis.

- Facile one-pot synthesis of [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines from 2-acylpyridines by copper(II)-catalyzed oxidative N-N bond formation
-
An efficient and simple method for the synthesis of various [1,2,3]triazolo[1,5-a]pyridines has been established. The method involves a copper(II)-catalyzed oxidative N-N bond formation that uses atmospheric oxygen as the terminal oxidant following hydrazonation in one pot. The use of ethyl acetate as the solvent dramatically promotes the oxidative N-N bond-formation reaction and enables the application of oxidative cyclization in the efficient one-pot reaction. A mechanism for the reaction was proposed on the basis of the results of a spectroscopic study. In the same pot: [1,2,3]Triazolo[1,5-a] pyridines are synthesized from the corresponding 2-acylpyridines by a one-pot method, consisting of hydrazonation followed by oxidative cyclization through copper(II)-catalyzed N-N bond formation (see scheme).

- Isolation and characterization of a trinuclear cobalt complex containing trigonal-prismatic cobalt in secondary alcohol aerobic oxidation
-
An unusual trinuclear cobalt complex was successfully isolated and characterized in the Co(OAc)2·4H2O-catalyzed aerobic oxidation of pyridine-based secondary alcohols. In this complex, a cobalt ion (the one in the middle, labeled Co2) has a novel trigonal-prismatic structure coordinated with six oxygen atoms from the substrate. The molecular oxygen present in air plays a major role in enabling this transformation to be catalytic. This aerobic catalytic reaction is very selective to pyridine-based secondary alcohols over primary alcohols.

- Synthesis of fluorescent 1,3-diarylated imidazo[1,5-α]pyridines: Oxidative condensation-cyclization of aryl-2-pyridylmethylamines and aldehydes with elemental sulfur as an oxidant
-
Oxidative condensation - cyclization of aldehydes and aryl-2- pyridylmethylamines proceeded in the presence of a stoichiometric amount of elemental sulfur as an oxidant in the absence of catalyst. The reaction gave a variety of 1,3-diarylated imidazo[l,5-a]pyridines in good to high yields. The products showed fluorescence emission in a wavelength range of 454-524 nm. The quantum yields of 1,3-diarylated imidazopyridines were greatly improved compared to those of the parent 3-monosubstituted compounds.
