- Paper strip-based fluorometric determination of cyanide with an internal reference
-
The rapid, selective, and sensitive determination of cyanide anion (CN-) using a simple paper strip is highly attractive because cyanide is acutely lethal to living organisms via all routes of administration, including alcohol consumption and inhaling cigarette smoke. Here, a synthetic probe (1) was designed for the selective determination of cyanide. The probe displays rapid and large blue spectral change (Δλabs =148 nm, Δλem = 165 nm) with respect to target recognition. Probe 1 exhibits a strong push-pull electronic effect and comprises a dimethylaminoaryl group as a donor and malononitrile as an acceptor; the π-conjugation system can be destroyed by the Michael-type addition of cyanide at the electrophilic β-positions of the nitrile groups, resulting in the marked emergence of a peak at λem = 515 nm. The developed probe was successfully applied to a paper test strip because of its noticeable optical changes upon reaction with cyanide. The fabricated dumbbell-shaped paper strip with an internal reference allowed the cyanide detection, which is indispensable for quantitative analysis in point-of-care testing. The paper strip test showed selective response to cyanide, with a linear correlation in the range of 0-25 mM in a simple and cost-effective manner.

- Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of benz-fused five-membered heterocyclic compounds as tubulin polymerization inhibitors with anticancer activities
-
A series of benz-fused five-membered heterocyclic compounds were designed and synthesized as novel tubulin inhibitors targeting the colchicine binding site. Among them, compound 4d displayed the highest antiproliferative activity against four cancer cell lines with an IC50 value of 4.9?μM in B16-F10 cells. Compound 4d effectively inhibited tubulin polymerization in vitro (IC50 of 13.1?μM). Further, 4d induced cell cycle arrest in G2/M phase. Finally, 4d inhibited the migration of cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner. In summary, these results suggest that compound 4d represents a new class of tubulin inhibitors deserving further investigation.

- Oxidative C-H Homocoupling of Push-Pull Benzothiazoles: An Atom-Economical Route to Highly Emissive Quadrupolar Arylamine-Functionalized 2,2′-Bibenzothiazoles with Enhanced Two-Photon Absorption
-
Copper(II)-catalyzed C-H/C-H coupling of dipolar 2-H-benzothiazoles end-capped with triphenylamine moieties affords highly fluorescent 2,2′-bibenzothiazoles with quadrupolar (D-π-A-π-D) architecture displaying large two-photon absorption (TPA) cross sections (543-1252 GM) in the near-infrared region. The notably higher TPA performance as compared to quadrupolar π-systems with a widely used 2,2′-bipyridine core, along with the ease of the synthesis and chelating N^N ability, makes the title biheteroaryl platform an attractive building block for a large scope of functional dyes exploiting nonlinear optical phenomena.

- Cyclic (Alkyl)(amino)carbene Ligand-Promoted Nitro Deoxygenative Hydroboration with Chromium Catalysis: Scope, Mechanism, and Applications
-
Transition metal catalysis that utilizes N-heterocyclic carbenes as noninnocent ligands in promoting transformations has not been well studied. We report here a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligand-promoted nitro deoxygenative hydroboration with cost-effective chromium catalysis. Using 1 mol % of CAAC-Cr precatalyst, the addition of HBpin to nitro scaffolds leads to deoxygenation, allowing for the retention of various reducible functionalities and the compatibility of sensitive groups toward hydroboration, thereby providing a mild, chemoselective, and facile strategy to form anilines, as well as heteroaryl and aliphatic amine derivatives, with broad scope and particularly high turnover numbers (up to 1.8 × 106). Mechanistic studies, based on theoretical calculations, indicate that the CAAC ligand plays an important role in promoting polarity reversal of hydride of HBpin; it serves as an H-shuttle to facilitate deoxygenative hydroboration. The preparation of several commercially available pharmaceuticals by means of this strategy highlights its potential application in medicinal chemistry.

- Synthesis of water soluble Pd-Piperidoimidazolin-2-ylidene complexes and their catalytic activities in neat water
-
Through the strategy of water soluble N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand, Pd-catalyzed reactions were developed in aqueous media. Therefore, four new piperidoimidazolinium salts (1a-d) consisting of sulfonate (a), esther (b, c) and carboxylic acid (d) functionalities and their water-soluble Pd-NHC complexes (2a-d) were synthesized. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, FTIR, TGA, UV–vis and NMR spectroscopy. The catalytic activities of water soluble Pd-NHC complexes (2a-d) were investigated using the Suzuki-Miyaura (S-M) reaction and the reduction of nitroarenes. We found that the water-soluble polar or ionic groups on piperidoimidazolin-2-ylidine had an effect on the catalytic activity. The water-soluble catalyst can be recycled efficiently and reused six times with only a very slight loss of catalytic activity.

- Hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines in a flow reactor using polystyrene supported rhodium in a catalyst-cartridge (Cart-Rh@PS)
-
The present methodology described the chemo-selective hydrogenation of various nitroarenes in a flow reactor under polystyrene supported rhodium in a catalyst-cartridge (Cart-Rh@PS) as a heterogeneous nano-catalyst. The polystyrene supported Rh (Rh@PS) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by following our earlier reported protocol and packed inside the catalyst-cartridge (Cat-Cart) to obtain Cart-Rh@PS, which is compatible with ThalesNano's H-Cube Pro flow system. The advantages of the prepacked catalyst Cart-Rh@PS are as follows: no need for catalyst activation up to 12 runs, negligible metal leaching detected by ICP-AES analysis and significantly less back pressure generated under the flow conditions. The same catalyst, Cart-Rh@PS, was also effective up to a 1 gram scale for the reduction of nitroarenes and reusable for successive runs. The hydrogenation in the flow reactor is a greener approach for the reduction of nitroarenes to their corresponding anilines in high yields.

- Supported Rhodium Nanoparticles Catalyzed Reduction of Nitroarenes, Arylcarbonyls and Aryl/Benzyl Sulfoxides using Ethanol/Methanol as In Situ Hydrogen Source
-
A facile reduction reaction of nitroarenes, aryl carbonyls and aryl/benzyl sulfoxides was performed under polystyrene supported rhodium (Rh@PS) catalyzed conditions using ethanol/methanol as in situ hydrogen source. The catalyst Rh@PS played a pivotal role in the oxidation of ethanol/methanol in the presence of traces of aerial oxygen and base to produce hydrogen gas, enough for further reduction reaction. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis indicated that the average particle size of the Rh nanoparticles (NPs) lies between 2–3 nm; this is responsible for its high catalytic activity. The advantages of Rh@PS are its catalytic activity, easy preparation, recovery, recyclability for several runs, and low metal leaching during reaction. (Figure presented.).

- N-doped graphitic carbon-improved Co-MoO3 catalysts on ordered mesoporous SBA-15 for chemoselective reduction of nitroarenes
-
Metallic Co-MoO3 catalysts supported on ordered mesoporous SBA-15 were first prepared through in situ reaction of SBA-15-supported Co-Mo oxides with 1,10-phenanthroline. The resulting Co-MoO3/NC@SBA-15 catalysts with N-doped carbon (NC) exhibited high catalytic activity and chemoselectivity for selective reduction of various functionalized nitroarenes to the corresponding arylamines in ethanol with hydrazine hydrate at near room temperature (30 °C). For reduction of all tested substrates (28 examples), the catalyst could afford a conversion of >99% and arylamine selectivity of >99%. The excellent catalytic performance of the Co-MoO3/NC@SBA-15 was attributed to the Co-Nχ(C)-Mo active sites generated through the interaction between the surface Co-Nχ(C) and MoO3 species, promoting the dissociation of hydrazine molecule into the active H* species for the reduction of nitro groups. After the seventh cycle for reduction of 4-methoxylnitrobenzene, the 2%Co-MoO3/NC@SBA-15 showed little change in catalytic performance, textural properties, size and dispersion of metal species and valence states of elements, indicating high stability and recyclability.

- Reduction of nitroarenes using CO and H2O in the presence of a nanostructured cobalt oxide/Nitrogen-Doped Graphene (NGr) catalyst
-
The most common route to anilines is based on the reduction of the corresponding nitroarenes. In general, hydrogen is preferred as reducing agent and numerous catalytic systems are known to achieve such transformations. Besides, the use of CO/H2O as hydrogen source offers interesting possibilities for reductions. Carbon monoxide is a cheap and abundant chemical used on industrial scale for a variety of transformations. Although the reduction of nitroarenes with CO/H2O is known in the presence of noble-metal catalysts, earth-abundant inexpensive catalysts showing high selectivity have not yet been developed. In this respect, herein we present the use of a heterogeneous cobalt oxide catalyst (Co3O4/NGr@C), which is modified by nitrogen-doped graphene layers. Using this non-noble metal catalyst nitroarenes are reduced in high yields and good chemoselectivities.

- Highly selective transfer hydrogenation of functionalised nitroarenes using cobalt-based nanocatalysts
-
Anilines are important feedstock for the synthesis of a variety of chemicals such as dyes, pigments, pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The chemoselective catalytic reduction of nitro compounds represents the most important and prevalent process for the manufacture of functionalized anilines. Consequently, the development of selective catalysts for the reduction of nitro compounds in the presence of other reducible groups is a major challenge and is crucial. In this regard, herein we show that the cobalt oxide (Co3O4-NGr@C) based nano-materials, prepared by the pyrolysis of cobalt-phenanthroline complexes on carbon constitute highly selective catalysts for the transfer hydrogenation of nitroarenes to anilines using formic acid as a hydrogen source. Applying these catalysts, a series of structurally diverse and functionalized nitroarenes have been reduced to anilines with unprecedented chemo-selectivity tolerating halides, olefins, aldehyde, ketone, ester, amide and nitrile functionalities.

A series of novel unsaturated five-membered benzo-heterocyclic amine derivatives were synthesized and assayed to determine their in vitro broad-spectrum antiviral activities. The biological results showed that most of our synthesized compounds exhibited potent broad-spectrum antiviral activity. Notably, compounds 3f (IC50 = 3.21-5.06 M) and 3g (IC50 = 0.71-34.87 M) showed potent activity towards both RNA viruses (influenza A, HCV and Cox B3 virus) and a DNA virus (HBV) at low micromolar concentrations. An SAR study showed that electron-withdrawing substituents located on the aromatic or heteroaromatic ring favored antiviral activity towards RNA viruses.

- Heterogenized cobalt oxide catalysts for nitroarene reduction by pyrolysis of molecularly defined complexes
-
Molecularly well-defined homogeneous catalysts are known for a wide variety of chemical transformations. The effect of small changes in molecular structure can be studied in detail and used to optimize many processes. However, many industrial processes require heterogeneous catalysts because of their stability, ease of separation and recyclability, but these are more difficult to control on a molecular level. Here, we describe the conversion of homogeneous cobalt complexes into heterogeneous cobalt oxide catalysts via immobilization and pyrolysis on activated carbon. The catalysts thus produced are useful for the industrially important reduction of nitroarenes to anilines. The ligand indirectly controls the selectivity and activity of the recyclable catalyst and catalyst optimization can be performed at the level of the solution-phase precursor before conversion into the active heterogeneous catalyst.

Some years ago we demonstrated the cytokinin-like activity of the synthetic N-phenyl-N′-benzothiazol-6-ylurea (PBU) and a relevant adventitious rooting adjuvant activity of symmetric urea derivatives devoid of any cytokinin- or auxin-like activity per se. Here we report the synthesis and the biological activity evaluation of nine symmetric or asymmetric ureas/thioureas, structurally related to PBU. None of them show cytokinin-like activity, while we demonstrate for the first time that PBU interacts with Arabidopsis cytokinin receptor CRE1/AHK4 in a heterologous bioassay system. Among the PBU derivatives, all the symmetric ureas/thioureas show an adventitious rooting adjuvant activity in various bioassays, confirming that this activity is strictly dependent on their chemical structure.

- Benzothiazoles with tunable electron-withdrawing strength and reverse polarity: A route to triphenylamine-based chromophores with enhanced two-photon absorption
-
A series of dipolar and octupolar triphenylamine-derived dyes containing a benzothiazole positioned in the matched or mismatched fashion have been designed and synthesized via palladium-catalyzed Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. Linear and nonlinear optical properties of the designed molecules were tuned by an additional electron-withdrawing group (EWG) and by changing the relative positions of the donor and acceptor substituents on the heterocyclic ring. This allowed us to examine the effect of positional isomerism and extend the structure-property relationships useful in the engineering of novel heteroaromatic-based systems with enhanced two-photon absorption (TPA). The TPA cross-sections (δTPA) in the target compounds dramatically increased with the branching of the triphenylamine core and with the strength of the auxiliary acceptor. In addition, a change from the commonly used polarity in push-pull benzothiazoles to a reverse one has been revealed as a particularly useful strategy (regioisomeric control) for enhancing TPA cross-sections and shifting the absorption and emission maxima to longer wavelengths. The maximum TPA cross-sections of the star-shaped three-branched triphenylamines are ~500-2300 GM in the near-infrared region (740-810 nm); thereby the molecular weight normalized δTPA/MW values of the best performing dyes within the series (2.0-2.4 GM?g-1?mol) are comparable to those of the most efficient TPA chromophores reported to date. The large TPA cross-sections combined with high emission quantum yields and large Stokes shifts make these compounds excellent candidates for various TPA applications, including two-photon fluorescence microscopy.

-
We have developed three fluorine-18 labeled 6-(methyl)amino-2-(4′- fluorophenyl)-1,3-benzothiazoles, which display high in vitro binding affinity for human amyloid β plaques (Ki ≤ 10 nM). The radiolabeled probes were synthesized by aromatic nucleophilic substitution of the corresponding nitro precursor with 18F-fluoride, followed by deprotection of the BOC group if required. Determination of the octanol/water partition coefficient, biodistribution studies in mice, and in vivo μPET studies in rats and a rhesus monkey showed that initial brain uptake was high and brain washout was fast in normal animals. Radiometabolites were quantified in plasma and brain of mice and in monkey plasma using HPLC. Of the tested compounds, [18F]2 (6-amino-2-(4′-[18F]fluorophenyl)- 1,3-benzothiazole) shows the most favorable brain kinetics in mice, rats, and a monkey. Its polar plasma radiometabolites do not cross the blood-brain barrier. The preliminary results strongly suggest that this new fluorinated compound is a promising candidate as a PET brain amyloid imaging agent. 2009 American Chemical Society.

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.

- Preparation of novel push-pull benzothiazole derivatives with reverse polarity: Compounds with potential non-linear optic application
-
The hitherto unknown 6-dimethylaminobenzothiazole-2-carbaldehyde was prepared as a starting compound for the synthesis of novel push-pull benzothiazole derivatives with reverse polarity. These compounds are substituted at the 2-position by strong electron-acceptor groups and at the 6-position by NMe2 as strong electron-donor. The new method for synthesis of 6-dimethylaminobenzothiazole involved the successful use of sonochemical reductive methylation. Expected non-linear optical properties of target molecules were studied by EFISH method.
