- Synthesis and spectrum of biological activities of novel N-arylcinnamamides
-
A series of sixteen ring-substituted N-arylcinnamamides was prepared and characterized. Primary in vitro screening of all the synthesized compounds was performed against Staphylococcus aureus, three methicillin-resistant S. aureus strains, Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Ra, Fusarium avenaceum, and Bipolaris sorokiniana. Several of the tested compounds showed antistaphylococcal, antitubercular, and antifungal activities comparable with or higher than those of ampicillin, isoniazid, and benomyl. (2E)-N-[3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-phenylprop-2-enamide and (2E)-3-phenyl-N-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]prop-2-enamide showed the highest activities (MICs = 22.27 and 27.47 μM, respectively) against all four staphylococcal strains and against M. tuberculosis. These compounds showed an activity against biofilm formation of S. aureus ATCC 29213 in concentrations close to MICs and an ability to increase the activity of clinically used antibiotics with different mechanisms of action (vancomycin, ciprofloxacin, and tetracycline). In time-kill studies, a decrease of CFU/mL of >99% after 8 h from the beginning of incubation was observed. (2E)-N-(3,5-Dichlorophenyl)-and (2E)-N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enamide had a MIC = 27.38 μM against M. tuberculosis, while a significant decrease (22.65%) of mycobacterial cell metabolism determined by the MTT assay was observed for the 3,5-dichlorophenyl derivative. (2E)-N-(3-Fluorophenyl)-and (2E)-N-(3-methylphenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enamide exhibited MICs = 16.58 and 33.71 μM, respectively, against B. sorokiniana. The screening of the cytotoxicity of the most effective antimicrobial compounds was performed using THP-1 cells, and these chosen compounds did not shown any significant lethal effect. The compounds were also evaluated for their activity related to the inhibition of photosynthetic electron transport (PET) in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. (2E)-N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enamide (IC50 = 5.1 μM) was the most active PET inhibitor. Compounds with fungicide potency did not show any in vivo toxicity against Nicotiana tabacum var. Samsun. The structure–activity relationships are discussed.

- Palladium-Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Amides from Styrenes and Nitroarenes
-
A procedure on palladium-catalyzed selective aminocarbonylation of styrenes with nitroarenes for the synthesis of α,β-unsaturated amides has been developed. A range of substituted α,β-unsaturated amides were synthesized in moderate to good yields. Interestingly, nitroarenes act as both a nitrogen source and oxidant, and Mo(CO)6 acts as a solid CO source and reductant in this catalytic system.

- Design, synthesis, and evaluation of caffeic acid amides as synergists to sensitize fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans to fluconazole
-
A series of caffeic acid amides were designed, synthesized, and their synergistic activity with fluconazole against fluconazole-resistant Candida albicans was evaluated in vitro. The title caffeic acid amides 3-30 except 26 exhibited potent activity, and the subsequent SAR study was conducted. Compound 3, 5, 21, and 34c, at a concentration of 1.0 μg/ml, decreased the MIC80 of fluconazole from 128.0 μg/ml to 1.0-0.5 μg/ml against the fluconazole-resistant C. albicans. This result suggests that the caffeic acid amides, as synergists, can sensitize drug-resistant fungi to fluconazole. The SAR study indicated that the dihydroxyl groups and the amido groups linking to phenyl or heterocyclic rings are the important pharmacophores of the caffeic acid amides.

- Imidazolium-supported benzotriazole: an efficient and recoverable activating reagent for amide, ester and thioester bond formation in water
-
An efficient and recyclable imidazolium-supported benzotriazole reagent (Im-CH2-BtH) as a novel synthetic auxiliary has been synthesized and its utility as a carboxyl group activating reagent via the formation of stable imidazolium-supported acyl benzotriazoles was explored for the synthesis of amides, esters and thioesters in water under microwave conditions. The reagent was reused five times without any noticeable loss in activity. It is moisture insensitive and highly stable under thermal and aerobic conditions. The application of imidazolium-supported N-acetyl benzotriazole leads to synthesis of paracetamol on the gram scale under greener conditions in 93% yield.

- Copper-catalyzed direct transformation of secondary allylic and benzylic alcohols into azides and amides: An efficient utility of azide as a nitrogen source
-
A mild and convenient method for the synthesis of amides has been explored by using secondary alcohols, Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O as a catalyst, and trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) as a nitrogen source in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) at ambient temperature. This method has been successfully adapted to the preparation of azides directly from their corresponding alcohols and offers excellent chemoselectivity in the formation of ω-halo azides and the azidation of allylic alcohols in the presence of a benzyl alcohol moiety. In addition, this strategy provides an opportunity to synthesize azides that can serve as precursors to β-amino acids. A mild and convenient method for the synthesis of amides has been explored by using secondary alcohols, Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O as a catalyst, and trimethylsilyl azide (TMSN3) as a nitrogen source in the presence of 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-p-benzoquinone (DDQ) at ambient temperature. This method has also been adapted to the preparation of azides directly from their corresponding alcohols.

- Synthesis, structure, and biological assay of cinnamic amides as potential EGFR kinase inhibitors
-
A series of derivatives of cinnamic amide (compounds 2a-2v) were synthesized and evaluated for antiproliferative activities against the human breast cancer cell line MCF-7- and EGFR-inhibitory activities. The structures of compounds 2b and 2i were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Compounds 2f and 2j showed moderate EGFR inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 5.16 and 7.37 μM, respectively. Docking simulation of compound 2f was carried out to illustrate the binding mode of the molecule into the EGFR active site. Structure-activity relationship analysis found that the N-phenyl rings are required for enhancing the activities.

- Cathodic reduction of N-(2-iodophenyl)-N-alkylcinnamides: A novel sequential electrochemical radical cyclisation and hydroxylation
-
In recent years, intramolecular aryl radical cyclisation has emerged as a useful route for the synthesis of benzannulated heterocycles and carbocycles. The aryl radicals are generated in situ from aryl halides (iodides or bromides) with tributylstannyl hydride-AIBN, SmI2, Co(I) or under photochemical conditions. The present work envisages the generation of aryl radicals by cathodic reduction of the carbon-iodine bond of N-(2-iodophenyl)-N-alkylcinnamides and their intramolecular cyclisation. The cathodic reduction of N-(2-iodophenyl)-N-alkyl-cinnamides under deaerated conditions in DMF gave 1-alkyl-3-benzylindolin-2-ones regioselectively and in the presence of oxygen yielded surprisingly 1-alkyl-3-hydroxy-3-benzylindolin-2-ones. Both these products were formed by a 5-exo-trig process in good yields. A mechanism for the formation of the products has been proposed through the use of cyclic voltammetry, coulometry and controlled-potential electrolysis as well as deuterium labelling.

- FOTOQUIMICA DE -TOLUIDIDAS DE ACIDOS αβ-INSATURADOS. INFLUENCIA DE LA ADICION DE CARBONATO POTASICO
-
Irradiation of the p-toluidides of crotonic and cinnamic acids (2a,c) gives rise predominantly to the cis isomers 5a,c, together with appreciable amounts of 4,6-dimethyl-3,4-dihydro-2-quinolone (6a) in the case of 2a.The corresponding photo-Fries products have not been detected, even when the irradiation is performed in the presence of K2CO3.By contrast, photolysis of the p-toluidides of methylcrotonic and phenylpropiolic acids (2b,d) gives rise to the o-aminophenones 7b,d (in addition to the quinolone 6b from 2b).For these two amides, as well as for acetanilide and benzanilide, the selectivity towards the acyl migration product markedly increases when the irradiation is performed in the presence of K2CO3.Key words: Enamides' photocyclization, photo-Fries, quinolones.

- Preparation of Alkyl Chlorides, Acid Chlorides, and Amides Using Polymer-Supported Phosphines and Carbon Tetrachloride: Mechanism of These Reactions
-
Alcohols and thiols were converted into alkyl chlorides, carboxylic acids were converted into acid chlorides, and mixtures of carboxylic acids and amines were converted into amides by reaction with carbon tetrachloride and 1percent cross-linked polystyrenes containing phosphine residues.Some of these conversions were also effected by using a linear polymer containing phosphine residues.The reactions proceed in high yield, and isolation of the products is facilitated by the ready removal of all the polymer-supported species.The mechanism of the reactions between triphenylphosphine, carbon tetrachloride, and alcohols is complex, but the polymer-supported reactions appear to follow analogous pathways to the low molecular weight reactions as judged by the yields of chloroform and the number of equivalents of phosphine consumed per mole of alkyl chloride produced.The mechanism requires polymer-supported groups reacting together.The slow step in the reactions appears to be the generation of the chlorinating species.The polymer-supported reactions are faster than those using triphenylphosphine or 4-(diphenylphosphinyl)isopropylbenzene.It is suggested that this is due to a microenvironmental effect.
