- Dual Nickel- And Photoredox-Catalyzed Reductive Cross-Coupling of Aryl Halides with Dichloromethane via a Radical Process
-
The first catalytic strategy to harness a new chloromethane radical from dichloromethane under dual Ni/photoredox catalytic conditions has been developed. Compared with traditional two-electron reductive process associated with metallic reductants, this method via a single-electron approach can proceed under exceptionally mild conditions (visible light, ambient temperature, no strong base) and exhibits complementary reactivity patterns. It affords a broad scope of many functional groups, including alkenyl, which suffers cyclopropanation in previous routes. The diarylmethane-d2 compounds can be readily available with this transformation.

- Structure-based virtual screening, synthesis and biological evaluation of potential FAK-FAT domain inhibitors for treatment of metastatic cancer
-
Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a tyrosine kinase that is overexpressed and activated in several advanced-stage solid cancers. In cancer cells, FAK promotes the progression and metastasis of tumours. In this study, we used structure-based virtual screening to filter a library of more than 210K compounds against the focal adhesion targeting FAK-focal adhesion targeting (FAT) domain to identify 25 virtual hit compounds which were screened in the invasive breast cancer line (MDA-MB-231). Most notably, compound I showed low micromolar antiproliferative activity, as well as antimigratory activity. Moreover, examination in a model of triple negative breast cancer (TNBC), revealed that, despite not effecting FAK phosphorylation, compound I significantly impairs proliferation whilst impairing focal adhesion growth and turnover leading to reduced migration. Further optimisation and synthesis of analogues of the lead compound I using a four-step synthetic procedure was performed, and analogues were assessed for their antiproliferative activity against three breast cancer (MDA-MB-231, T47D, BT474) cell lines and one pancreatic cancer (MIAPaCa2) cell line. Compound 5f was identified as a promising lead compound with IC50 values in the range of 4.59–5.28 μM in MDA-MB-231, T47D, BT474, and MIAPaCa2. Molecular modelling and pharmacokinetic studies provided more insight into the therapeutic features of this new series.

- Trivalent Rare-Earth Metal Amide Complexes as Catalysts for the Hydrosilylation of Benzophenone Derivatives with HN(SiHMe2)2 by Amine-Exchange Reaction
-
The rare-earth metal complexes Ln(L1)[N(SiHMe2)2](thf) (Ln=La, Ce, Y; L1=N,N′′-bis(pentafluorophenyl)diethylenetriamine dianion) were synthesized by treating Ln[N(SiHMe2)2]3(thf)2 with L1H2. The lanthanum and cerium derivatives are active catalysts for the hydrosilylation of benzophenone derivatives with HN(SiHMe2)2. An amine-exchange reaction was revealed as a key step of the catalytic cycle, in which Ln?Si?H β-agostic interactions are proposed to promote insertion of the carbonyl moiety into the Si?H bond.

- Large-scale synthesis of novel sterically hindered acenaphthene-based α-diimine ligands and their application in coordination chemistry
-
An efficient method to synthesize novel highly sterically hindered acenaphthene-based α-diimine ligands bearing bulky diarylmethyl moiety was achieved by two-step reactions. These reactions could be carried out on a scale of 100 g with no chromatography involved. On the basis of this method, a series of novel highly sterically hindered acenaphthene-based α-diimine Pd(II) and Ni(II) complexes, imidazolium precursors and the corresponding NHCs-metal complexes were also successfully synthesized. These novel complexes can offer great potential for metal-catalyzed polymerizations and organic reactions.

- [Pd(IPr*R)(acac)Cl]: Efficient bulky Pd-NHC catalyst for Buchwald-Hartwig C-N cross-coupling reaction
-
A series of bulky palladium catalysts based on N-heterocyclic carbene, (Pd(NHC)(acac)Cl: NHC = IPr*me = N,N′-bis(2,6-bis(di-p-tolylmethyl)-4-methylphenyl)-imidazol-2 -ylidene, Pd(IPr*me)(acac)Cl; NHC = IPr*ipr = N,N′-bis(2,6-bis(di-4-isopropylphenyl)-4-methylphenyl)-imidazol-2 -ylidene, Pd(IPr*ipr)(acac)Cl; and NHC = IPr*tBu = N,N′-bis(2,6-bis(di-4-(tert-butyl)phenyl)- 4-methylphenyl)- imidazol-2-ylidene, Pd(IPr*tBu)(acac)Cl; acac = acetylacetonate), have been designed and synthesized. These three new catalysts showed much better catalytic activity in the Buchwald?Hartwig arylamination coupling reaction as compare to the earlier congener (IPr*)Pd(acac)Cl (IPr* = N,N′-bis(2,6-diphenylmethyl)-4-methylphenylimidazol-2-ylidene). The highly active PdII precatalyst [Pd(IPr*me)(acac)Cl] has been fully explored by using a wide range of substrates with different electronic and steric demands of coupling partners, for which up to 99% isolated yields were obtained. Remarkably, the moderate isolated yield was obtained for the challenging coupling of the amine bearing very bulky groups.

A photocatalytic process for selective arylalkylation of allylic alcohols with α-bromo diethyl malonate has been developed. The reaction provided a straightforward approach to synthesize α-aryl-β-alkylated ketones via unique 1,2-aryl migration. The procedure is highlighted by its operational simplicity and mild reaction conditions.

- UV light-mediated difunctionalization of alkenes through aroyl radical addition/1,4-/1,2-Aryl shift cascade reactions
-
UV light-mediated difunctionalization of alkenes through an aroyl radical addition/1,4-/1,2-aryl shift has been described. The resulted aroyl radical from a photocleavage reaction added to acrylamide compounds followed by cyclization led to the formation of oxindoles, whereas the addition to cinnamic amides aroused a unique 1,4-aryl shift reaction. Furthermore, the difunctionalization of alkenes of prop-2-en-1-ols was also achieved through aroyl radical addition and a sequential 1,2-aryl shift cascade reaction.

- Dual gold catalysis: Synthesis of polycyclic compounds via C-H insertion of gold vinylidenes
-
New and interesting polycyclic compounds have been synthesized from non-conjugated diyne systems by dual gold catalysis. A quaternary carbon center in the backbone and the accompanying Thorpe-Ingold effect enabled the unprecedented insertion of sp3 and sp2 C-H bonds that for the first time were incorporated within the backbone of the diyne system and allowed the construction of complex polycyclic carbon scaffolds inaccessible by previous approaches in which the C-H bonds for the insertion were situated at the other end of the alkyne.

- Synthesis of an extremely sterically shielding N-heterocyclic carbene ligand
-
The N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand IPr** features substituents of unprecedented steric demand (IPr** = 1,3-bis[2,6-bis[(4-tert-butylphenyl)methyl]-4-methylphenyl]imidazol-2-ylidene). The NHC structure is an advanced derivative of the IPr system, and of the IPr* by Berthon-Gelloz and Marko. In the IPr** ancillary ligand, two para-methyl are introduced and eight methyl groups of IPr are formally replaced by a 4-tert-butylphenyl substituent, respectively, thereby sterically shielding both a coordinated metal and its second ligand. Favorable features of ligand and late transition metal complexes include high solubility, aesthetic NMR spectra, and a tendency towards crystallization. ARKAT-USA, Inc.

- Catalytic asymmetric epoxidation

The present invention relates to the synthesis of chiral epoxides via a catalytic asymmetric oxidation of olefins. Additionally, the methodology provides a method of asymmetrically oxidizing sulfides and phosphines. This asymmetric oxidation employs a catalyst system composed of a metal and a chiral bishydroxamic acid ligand, which, in the presence of a stoichiometric oxidation reagent, serves to asymmetrically oxidize a variety of substrates.
