- Dichloroacetophenones targeting at pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 with improved selectivity and antiproliferative activity: Synthesis and structure-activity relationships
-
Dichloroacetophenone is a pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 1 (PDK1) inhibitor with suboptimal kinase selectivity. Herein, we report the synthesis and biological evaluation of a series of novel dichloroacetophenones. Structure-activity relationship analyses (SARs) enabled us to identify three potent compounds, namely 54, 55, and 64, which inhibited PDK1 function, activated pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, and reduced the proliferation of NCI-H1975 cells. Mitochondrial bioenergetics assay suggested that 54, 55, and 64 enhanced the oxidative phosphorylation in cancer cells, which might contribute to the observed anti-proliferation effects. Collectively, these results suggested that 54, 55, and 64 could be promising compounds for the development of potent PDK1 inhibitors.

- Method for removal of methanamide by dichlorination
-
A method for removal of methanamide by dichlorination is disclosed, according to the method, a finished product is obtained by removal of methanamide by dichlorination by one-step-reaction of various beta-carbonyl amide derivatives as raw materials, 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidinooxy (TEMPO) and an alkali as additives and N-chlorosuccinimide as a reagent in a reaction solvent, and then concentration and purification. According to the method, synthesis of an alpha-dichloroacetophenone derivative can be realized for the first time by a method of removal of methanamide by fracturation of carbon-carbon single bond. The method is novel and unique, has certain universality, is mild in reaction conditions, low in requirement of production equipment, and simple in technology, has the advantages of high efficiency, simple operation, high safety, economy and environmentally-friendliness; high-quality diverse alpha-dichloroacetophenone derivative products can be prepared by the method, and the products prepared by the method are important drug synthesis intermediates and material intermediates, can be widely used in the synthesis of heterocycles, unsaturated acids, acetylene alcohols and other compounds and cyclopropanation, and have wide market prospects.

- One-pot dichlorinative deamidation of primary β-ketoamides
-
An approach to the dichlorinative deamidation of primary β-ketoamides through ketonic cleavage is described, and a series of α,α-dichloroketones were furnished mostly in the presence of TEMPO. Based on control experiments, a mechanism involving tandem dichlorination and deamidation is proposed to interpret the observed reactivity.
