- Ethyl 2-Cyano-2-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyloxyimino) Acetate (ortho-NosylOXY)-Mediated Double Beckmann Rearrangement of Ketoximes under Microwave Irradiation: A Mechanistic Perception
-
A method for Beckmann rearrangement using ethyl 2-cyano-2-(2-nitrobenzenesulfonyloxyimino) acetate (o-NosylOXY) under microwave irradiation is reported. Ketoximes (19 examples) are converted to the corresponding amides/lactams with 69–97% yields in ~10 minutes without any Lewis acid or co-catalyst. This is an example of halogen-free organocatalytic Beckmann rearrangement. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)- and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS)-based detailed mechanistic investigation suggest that o-NosylOXY acts as an initiator. Such initiators are reported before based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations. However, we report here the HRMS signatures of two transient intermediates, the nitrilium ion and the nitrilium ion's dimeric species. Rigorous NMR-based investigation of the reaction mechanism is performed. Our results indicate that the reported Beckmann rearrangement proceeds via two consecutive rearrangements.

- Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes promoted by cyanuric chloride and dimethyl sulfoxide under a mild condition
-
Synthesis of amides via Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes promoted by cyanuric chloride (TCT)/DMSO under mild conditions has been reported. Conditions of the Beckmann rearrangement, e.g., solvents, the ratios of TCT/DMSO, and the temperature, were investigated using diphenylmethanone oxime as a substrate. The optimized conditions were adopted to afford fourteen amides with yields ranging from 20% to 99%. A plausible mechanism involving an active dimethyl alkoxysulfonium intermediate was proposed according to the mass spectrometry analysis. To our best knowledge, this is the first case of study on Beckmann rearrangement of ketoximes promoted by TCT/DMSO under a mild condition to afford amides efficiently.

N-Chloro-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzene sulfonamide (NCBSI) has been explored for the first time as a chlorinating reagent for direct chlorination of various activated arenes and heterocycles without any activator. A comparative in-silico study was performed to determine the electrophilic character for NCBSI and commercially available N-chloro reagents to reveal the reactivity on a theoretical viewpoint. The reagent was prepared by an improved method avoiding the use of hazardous t-butyl hypochlorite. This reagent was proved to be very reactive compared to other N-chloro reagents. The precursor of the reagent N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzene sulfonamide was recovered from aqueous spent, which can be recycled to synthesize NCBSI. The eco-friendly protocol was equally applicable for the synthesis of industrially important chloroxylenol as an antibacterial agent.

- Novel hybrid conjugates with dual estrogen receptor α degradation and histone deacetylase inhibitory activities for breast cancer therapy
-
Hormone therapy targeting estrogen receptors is widely used clinically for the treatment of breast cancer, such as tamoxifen, but most of them are partial agonists, which can cause serious side effects after long-term use. The use of selective estrogen receptor down-regulators (SERDs) may be an effective alternative to breast cancer therapy by directly degrading ERα protein to shut down ERα signaling. However, the solely clinically used SERD fulvestrant, is low orally bioavailable and requires intravenous injection, which severely limits its clinical application. On the other hand, double- or multi-target conjugates, which are able to synergize antitumor activity by different pathways, thus may enhance therapeutic effect in comparison with single targeted therapy. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of novel dual-functional conjugates targeting both ERα degradation and histone deacetylase inhibiton by combining a privileged SERD skeleton 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane sulfonamide (OBHSA) with a histone deacetylase inhibitor side chain. We found that substituents on both the sulfonamide nitrogen and phenyl group of OBHSA unit had significant effect on biological activities. Among them, conjugate 16i with N-methyl and naphthyl groups exhibited potent antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cells, and excellent ERα degradation activity and HDACs inhibitory ability. A further molecular docking study indicated the interaction patterns of these conjugates with ERα, which may provide guidance to design novel SERDs or PROTAC-like SERDs for breast cancer therapy.

These molecules were screened for their anticancer activities against MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 cell line using MTT assay. Potent compounds were tested for their cytotoxicity on normal HEK 293 cell lines and most potent compound was tested for its cell cycle analysis. Molecular docking and molecular dynamic studies were performed on human N-acetyl transferase (hNAT-1) protein using Schrodinger molecular docking toolkit. Compound 8n emerged as potent with IC50 8.16?μM against MDA-MB-231 cell line followed by 8e with IC50 17.68?μM. Compound 8n arrested cell cycle at G2/M phase and was non-toxic to human normal kidney cell line. The potent compound 8n binds well with human NAT-1 protein with remarkable hydrogen bonding and π–π interactions. Molecular dynamic studies of 8n further confirm the target for these molecules. Target quinolinone-thiazolidinones were found to be new class of compounds targeting hNAT-1 and can serve as new lead compounds in drug discovery.

- Visible-light induced one-pot hydrogenation and amidation of nitroaromatics with carboxylic acids over 2D MXene-derived Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2
-
Pt nanoparticles supported on N doped titanium dioxide/titanium carbide (MXene) heterojunctions were employed as photocatalysts for the tandem reactions between aromatic nitro compounds and carboxylic acids to produce amide products. The 3%Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 heterojunction was prepared by in situ grew TiO2 on Ti3C2 nanosheets and then N doped TiO2 with melamine, Pt nanoparticles with 3.3 nm mean diameter well dispersed on N-TiO2/Ti3C2. 3%Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 had excellent amidation activity and chemoselectivity under visible-light irradiation. The elevated catalytic performance of 3%Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 was owing to the improvement in photogenerated electron and hole separation efficiency through charge short-range directional transmission caused by the intimate contact between the TiO2 and the conductive Ti3C2. This direct hydrogenation along with amidation between nitroaromatics and carboxylic acids own actual merits in the amides produce with no harmful byproducts. In situ DRIFTS spectra verified that the amidation activation with visible light irradiation at 25 °C was much faster than heating.

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.

- Manganese(I) Catalyzed α-Alkenylation of Amides Using Alcohols with Liberation of Hydrogen and Water
-
Herein, unprecedented manganese-catalyzed direct α-alkenylation of amides using alcohols is reported. Aryl amides are reacted with diverse primary alcohols, which provided the α,β-unsaturated amides in moderate to good yields with excellent selectivity. Mechanistic studies indicate that Mn(I) catalyst oxidizes the alcohols to their corresponding aldehydes and also plays an important role in efficient C═C bond formation through aldol condensation. This selective olefination is facilitated by metal-ligand cooperation by the aromatization-dearomatization process operating in the catalytic system. Biorenewable alcohols are used as alkenylation reagents for the challenging α-alkenylation of amides with the highly abundant base metal manganese as a catalyst, which results in water and dihydrogen as the only byproduct, making this catalytic transformation attractive, sustainable, and environmentally benign.

- Method for catalyzing one-pot hydrogenation and amidation of nitroaromatic hydrocarbon and carboxylic acid by visible light
-
The invention discloses a method for catalyzing one-pot hydrogenation and amidation reaction of nitroaromatic hydrocarbon and carboxylic acid by visible light. The method comprises the following steps: preparing Pt nanoparticles uniformly dispersed on an N-doped titanium dioxide/titanium carbide (MXene) heterojunction as a photocatalyst (3% Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2), and applying the catalyst to a cascade reaction of an aromatic nitro compound and carboxylic acid to prepare an amide product. The 3% Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 has excellent tandem hydrogenation and amidation activity and chemical selectivity of an aromatic nitro compound and carboxylic acid under the irradiation of visible light. The excellent catalytic performance of 3% Pt/N-TiO2/Ti3C2 is attributed to the close contact of TiO2 and conductive Ti3C2, and the separation efficiency of photo-induced electrons and holes is improved through charge short-range directional transmission. The preparation method of the catalyst is simple and easy to operate, the catalyst can be used for photocatalytic efficient one-pot hydrogenation and amidation reactions, the reaction conditions are mild, and the catalyst is easy to recycle.

In this contribution a physicochemical, IR and Raman characterization for the tin(ii) chloride dihydrate/choline chloride eutectic mixture is reported. The redox properties of this solvent were also studied by cyclic voltammetry finding that it can be successfully used as an electrochemical solvent for electrosynthesis and electroanalytical processes and does not require negative potentials as verified by the reduction of nitrobenzene. The potential use of this eutectic mixture as a redox solvent was further explored in obtaining aromatic amines and N-arylacetamides starting from a wide variety of nitroaromatic compounds. In addition, a fast synthetic strategy for the construction of a series of indolo(pyrrolo)[1,2-a]quinoxalines was developed by reacting 1-(2-nitrophenyl)-1H-indole(pyrrole) with aldehydes.

Abstract: Electrosynthesis as a potential means of introducing heteroatoms into the carbon framework is rarely studied. Herein, the electrochemical Beckmann rearrangement, i. e. the direct electrolysis of ketoximes to amides, is presented for the first time. Using a constant current as the driving force, the reaction can be easily carried out under neutral conditions at room temperature. Based on a series of mechanistic studies, a novel radical Beckmann rearrangement mechanism is proposed. This electrochemical Beckmann rearrangement does not follow the trans-migration rule of the classical Beckmann rearrangement.

- Nitromethane as a nitrogen donor in Schmidt-type formation of amides and nitriles
-
The Schmidt reaction has been an efficient and widely used synthetic approach to amides and nitriles since its discovery in 1923. However, its application often entails the use of volatile, potentially explosive, and highly toxic azide reagents. Here, we report a sequence whereby triflic anhydride and formic and acetic acids activate the bulk chemical nitromethane to serve as a nitrogen donor in place of azides in Schmidt-like reactions. This protocol further expands the substrate scope to alkynes and simple alkyl benzenes for the preparation of amides and nitriles.

- Visible Light-Induced Amide Bond Formation
-
A metal-, base-, and additive-free amide bond formation reaction was developed under an organic photoredox catalyst. This green approach showed excellent functional selectivity without affecting other functional groups such as alcohols, phenols, ethers, esters, halogens, or heterocycles. This method featured a broad substrate scope, good compatibility with water and air, and high yields (≤95%). The potential utilities were demonstrated by the synthesis of important drug molecules such as paracetamol, melatonin, moclobemide, and acetazolamide.

- Iodine and Br?nsted acid catalyzed C–C bond cleavage of 1,3-diketones for the acylation of amines
-
A metal-free N-acylation method of anilines with 1,3-diketones has been developed, by using iodine and p-toluene sulfonic acid as the co-catalysts. The reaction can proceed in 1,4-dioxane at elevated temperature to produce the corresponding amides with 48–89% yields. Further, the gram-scale experiment was carried out under the standard conditions and the possible mechanism was proposed.

- An organocatalytic C-C bond cleavage approach: A metal-free and peroxide-free facile method for the synthesis of amide derivatives
-
A facile organocatalytic approach has been devised towards the synthesis of amide derivatives using 1,3-dicarbonyls as easily available acyl-sources under peroxide-free reaction conditions. This transformation was accomplished by the cleavage of the C-C bond in the presence of TEMPO as an organocatalyst and excludes the use of transition-metals and harsh reaction conditions. A broad range of substrates with diverse functional groups were well tolerated and delivered the products in high yields.

- Visible-light photocatalytic activation of N-chlorosuccinimide by organic dyes for the chlorination of arenes and heteroarenes
-
A variety of arenes and heteroarenes are chlorinated in moderate to excellent yields using N-chlorosuccinimide (NCS) under visible-light activated conditions. A screening of known organic dye photocatalysts resulted in the identification of methylene green as the most efficient catalyst to use with NCS. According to mechanistic studies described within, the reaction is speculated to proceed via a single electron oxidation of NCS utilizing methylene green under visible-light photoredox pathway. The photo-oxidation of NCS amplifies the electrophilicity of the chlorine atom of the NCS, thus leading to enhanced reactivity as a chlorinating reagent with aromatic substrates.

- Vilsmeier-Haack reagent mediated synthetic transformations with an immobilized iridium complex photoredox catalyst
-
An immobilized iridium complex photocatalyst Ir(ppy)2(PDVB-py) was synthesized by immobilization of the iridium complex onto the nanoporous vinylpyridine-divinylbenzene copolymer (PDVB-py). Its application for the synthesis of amides, nitriles, and anhydrides was reported via reactions under the action of the visible-light-driven in situ generated Vilsmeier-Haack reagent from CBr4 in DMF. The results showed that this heterogeneous photocatalyst has extremely high activity and excellent stability to be recycled five times.

- Visible Light-Promoted Beckmann Rearrangements: Separating Sequential Photochemical and Thermal Phenomena in a Continuous Flow Reactor
-
The Beckmann rearrangement of oximes to amides typically requires strong acids or highly reactive, hazardous electrophiles and/or elevated temperatures to proceed. A very attractive alternative is the in situ generation of Vilsmeier–Haack reagents, by means of photoredox catalysis, as promoters for the thermal Beckmann rearrangement. Investigation of the reaction parameters for this light-induced method using a one-pot strategy has shown that the reaction is limited by the different temperatures required for each of the two sequential steps. Using a continuous flow reactor, the photochemical and thermal processes have been separated by integrating a flow photoreactor unit at low temperature for the electrophile generation with a second reactor unit, at high temperature, where the rearrangement takes place. This strategy has enabled excellent conversions and yields for a diverse set of oximes, minimizing the formation of side products obtained with the original one-pot method.

- Amplification of Trichloroisocyanuric Acid (TCCA) Reactivity for Chlorination of Arenes and Heteroarenes via Catalytic Organic Dye Activation
-
Heteroarenes and arenes that contain electron-withdrawing groups are chlorinated in good to excellent yields (scalable to gram scale) using trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) and catalytic Brilliant Green (BG). Visible-light activation of BG serves to amplify the electrophilic nature of TCCA, providing a mild alternative approach to acid-promoted chlorination of deactivated (hetero)aromatic substrates. The utility of the TCCA/BG system is demonstrated through comparison to other chlorinating reagents and by the chlorination of pharmaceuticals including caffeine, lidocaine, and phenazone.
