- Catalyst-free generation of acyl radicals induced by visible light in water to construct C-N bonds
-
We describe herein a catalyst-free and redox-neutral photochemical strategy for the direct generation of acyl radicals from α-diketones, and its selective conversion of nitrosoarenes to hydroxyamides or amides with AcOH or NaCl as an additive. The reaction was carried out under mild conditions in water with purple LEDs as the light source. A broad scope of substrates was demonstrated. Mechanistic experiments indicate that α-diketones cleave to give acyl radicals, with hydroxyamides being further reduced to amides.

- Direct para-Selective C-H Amination of Iodobenzenes: Highly Efficient Approach for the Synthesis of Diarylamines
-
Iodine(III)-mediated synthesis of 4-iodo-N-phenylaniline from iodobenzene has been achieved, and the reaction can proceed under mild conditions. A variety of functional groups were well tolerated, providing the corresponding products in moderate to good yields. The remaining iodine group provides an effective platform for converting the products into several valuable asymmetric diphenylamines. Most importantly, this reaction can be easily scaled up to the ten-gram scale, highlighting its synthetic utility. The mechanistic study revealed that the in situ generated aryl hypervalent iodine intermediate is the key factor to realize this para-selective C-H amination reaction.

- Selectivity, ligand deconstruction, and cellular activity analysis of a BPTF bromodomain inhibitor
-
Bromodomain and PHD finger containing protein transcription factor (BPTF) is an epigenetic protein involved in chromatin remodelling and is a potential anticancer target. The BPTF bromodomain has one reported small molecule inhibitor (AU1, rac-1). Here, advances made on the structure-activity relationship of a BPTF bromodomain ligand are reported using a combination of experimental and molecular dynamics simulations leading to the active enatiomer (S)-1. Additionally, a ligand deconstruction analysis was conducted to characterize important pharmacophores for engaging the BPTF bromodomain. These studies have been enabled by a protein-based fluorine NMR approach, highlighting the versatility of the method for selectivity, ligand deconstruction, and ligand binding. To enable future analysis of biological activity, cell growth analyses in a panel of cancer cell lines were carried out using CRISPR-Cas9 and (S)-1 to identify cell-based model systems that are sensitive to BPTF inhibition.

- Mild and efficient palladium-catalyzed direct trifluoroethylation of aromatic systems by C-H activation
-
The introduction of trifluoroalkyl groups into aromatic molecules is an important transformation in the field of organic and medicinal chemistry. However, the direct installation of fluoroalkyl groups onto aromatic molecules still represents a challenging and highly demanding synthetic task. Herein, a simple trifluoroethylation process that relies on the palladium-catalyzed C-H activation of aromatic compounds is described. With the utilization of a highly active trifluoroethyl(mesityl)iodonium salt, the developed catalytic method enables the first highly efficient and selective trifluoroethylation of aromatic compounds. The robust catalytic procedure provides the desired products in up to 95 % yield at 25 °C in 1.5 to 3 hours and tolerates a broad range of functional groups. The utilization of hypervalent reagents opens new synthetic possibilities for direct alkylations and fluoroalkylations in the field of transition-metal-catalyzed C-H activation.

- Highly ortho-Selective Chlorination of Anilines Using a Secondary Ammonium Salt Organocatalyst
-
An organocatalytic, highly facile, efficient, and regioselective ortho-chlorination of anilines is described. A secondary ammonium chloride salt has been employed as the catalyst and the reaction can be conducted at room temperature without protection from air and moisture. In addition, the reaction is readily scalable and the catalyst can be recycled and reused. This catalytic protocol has been applied to the efficient synthesis of a highly potent c-Met kinase inhibitor. Mechanistic studies revealed that unique structural features of the secondary ammonium chloride salt are important for both the catalysis and regioselectivity of the electrophilic ortho-chlorination.

- Synthesis of sulfonylhydrazone- and acylhydrazone-substituted 8-ethoxy-3-nitro-2h-chromenes as potent antiproliferative and apoptosis inducing agents
-
3-Nitro-2H-chromenes have recently been identified as a novel class of potent antitumor agents. In view of the favorable effects shown by sulfonylhydrazones and acylhydrazones, we designed and synthesized a series of sulfonylhydrazone- and acylhydrazone-substituted 8-ethoxy-3-nitro-2H-chromene derivatives, and evaluated their cell growth inhibition activities against A549, KG-1, A2780, and K562 cells. All the tested compounds exhibited more potent antiproliferative activity than BENC-511 against KG-1 cells. These compounds displayed IC50 values in the nanomolar range against A2780 cells. Compound 7d showed prominent cytotoxicity against K562 cells with an IC 50 of 0.11 μM, which was comparable to that of BENC-511. Compound 7d arrested K562 cells at the G1 phase at high concentrations and induced apoptosis in K562 cells. Furthermore, 7d increased the levels of cleaved caspase-3, decreased the expression of bcl-2 and induced the cleavage of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase in K562 cells. Thus, this study provides the development of a series of novel compounds as effective antitumor agents with apoptotic death ability.

- Methyl salicylate as a selective methylation agent for the esterification of carboxylic acids
-
Methyl salicylate is a selective and inexpensive methylating agent for the esterification of carboxylic acids with a wide range of functional group tolerance. The intramolecular hydrogen bonds between the carboxylate and hydroxyl groups in methyl salicylate are essential for the transformation. Allyl, benzyl, methallyl, and propargyl salicylates can also be used as alkylating agents for the preparation of the corresponding alkyl carboxylates.

Hydrophilic photolabile protecting groups (PPGs) for hydroxyl protection have been developed. The new PPGs are derived from 3-(dimethylamino)trityl (DMATr) by replacing the two methyl groups with two hydrophilic butyryl groups. The new PPG reagents can be readily prepared and installed. They are stable in the dark but can be removed cleanly and efficiently in aqueous environments upon irradiation with a UV lamp or sunlight.

- Rhodium(III)-catalyzed arene and alkene C-H bond functionalization leading to indoles and pyrroles
-
Recently, the rhodium(III)-complex [Cp*RhCl2]2 1 has provided exciting opportunities for the efficient synthesis of aromatic heterocycles based on a rhodium-catalyzed C-H bond functionalization event. In the present report, the use of complexes 1 and its dicationic analogue [Cp*Rh(MeCN)3][SbF6]2 2 have been employed in the formation of indoles via the oxidative annulation of acetanilides with internal alkynes. The optimized reaction conditions allow for molecular oxygen to be used as the terminal oxidant in this process, and the reaction may be carried out under mild temperatures (60 °C). These conditions have resulted in an expanded compatibility of the reaction to include a range of new internal alkynes bearing synthetically useful functional groups in moderate to excellent yields. The applicability of the method is exemplified in an efficient synthesis of paullone 3, a tetracyclic indole derivative with established biological activity. A mechanistic investigation of the reaction, employing deuterium labeling experiments and kinetic analysis, has provided insight into issues of reactivity for both coupling partners as well as aided in the development of conditions for improved regioselectivity with respect to meta-substituted acetanilides. This reaction class has also been extended to include the synthesis of pyrroles. Catalyst 2 efficiently couples substituted enamides with internal alkynes at room temperature to form trisubstituted pyrroles in good to excellent yields. The high functional group compatibility of this reaction enables the elaboration of the pyrrole products into a variety of differentially substituted pyrroles.

- Palladium-catalyzed silane/siloxane reductions in the one-pot conversion of nitro compounds into their amines, hydroxylamines, amides, sulfonamides, and carbamates
-
A combination of palladium(II) acetate, aqueous potassium fluoride, and polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) facilitates the room-temperature reduction of aromatic nitro compounds to anilines. These reactions tend to be quick (30 min), high-yielding, and tolerate a range of other functional groups. Replacement of PMHS/KF with triethylsilane allows for the reduction of aliphatic nitro compounds to their corresponding hydroxylamines. Depending on the substrate, both conditions can allow for the in situ conversion of the product amines into amides, sulfonamides, and carbamates. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart.

- Synthesis and Diels-Alder reactions of 2-acetamido-3-phenylthiobuta-1,3-diene and its derivatives
-
3-Acetamido-4-sulfur-substituted 3-sulfolenes 2a-c which are convenient precursors to the corresponding dienes 1a-c have been synthesized. The Diels-Alder reactions of the dienes 1a-c can be efficiently carried out by heating the 3-sulfolenes 2a-c with dienophiles. The reactions with unsymmetrical dienophiles demonstrate that the 'para'-directing ability of the substituents on the 2,3-disubstituted 1,3-dienes follows the order AcNH > PhSO2 > PhS > PhSO. However, Lewis acids can change significantly the regioselectivity of the reaction; for the diene la, the regiocontrol is even reversed. Semiempirical analyses of the diene FMO coefficients and the transition states involved in the cycloaddition provide some insight into the factors which affect the regioselectivity.
