- Broadening antifungal spectrum and improving metabolic stablity based on a scaffold strategy: Design, synthesis, and evaluation of novel 4-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole derivatives as potent fungistatic and fungicidal reagents
-
5-phenylthiophene derivatives exhibited excellent antifungal activity against Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis and Cryptococcus neoformans. However, optimal compound 7 was inactive against Aspergillus fumigatus and unstable in human liver microsomes in vitro with a half-life of 18.6 min. To discover antifungal agents with a broad spectrum and improve the metabolic properties of the compounds, the scaffold hopping strategy was adopted and a series of 4-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole derivatives were designed and synthesized. It was especially encouraging that compound 22a displayed significant antifungal activities against eight susceptible strains and seven FLC-resistant strains. Furthermore, the potent compound 22a could prevent the formation of fungalbiofilms and displayed satisfactory fungicidal activity. In addition, the metabolic stability of compound 22a was improved significantly, with the half-life of 70.5 min. Compound 22a was almost nontoxic to mammalian A549, MCF-7, HepG2, and 293T cells. Moreover, pharmacokinetic studies in SD rats showed that compound 22a exhibited pharmacokinetic properties with a bioavailability of 15.22% and a half-life of 4.44 h, indicating that compound 22a is worthy of further study.

-
To discover antifungal compounds with broad-spectrum and stable metabolism, a series of 2-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-4-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole derivatives was designed and synthesized. Compounds A30-A34 exhibited excellent broad-spectrum antifungal activity against Candida albicans with MIC values in the range of 0.03–0.5 μg/mL, and against Cryptococcus neoformans and Aspergillus fumigatus with MIC values in the range of 0.25–2 μg/mL. In addition, compounds A31 and A33 showed high metabolic stability in human liver microsomes in vitro, with the half-life of 80.5 min and 69.4 min, respectively. Moreover, compounds A31 and A33 showed weak or almost no inhibitory effect on the CYP3A4 and CYP2D6. The pharmacokinetic evaluation in SD rats showed that compound A31 had suitable pharmacokinetic properties and was worthy of further study.

- Nickel-Catalyzed NO Group Transfer Coupled with NOxConversion
-
Nitrogen oxide (NOx) conversion is an important process for balancing the global nitrogen cycle. Distinct from the biological NOx transformation, we have devised a synthetic approach to this issue by utilizing a bifunctional metal catalyst for producing value-added products from NOx. Here, we present a novel catalysis based on a Ni pincer system, effectively converting Ni-NOx to Ni-NO via deoxygenation with CO(g). This is followed by transfer of the in situ generated nitroso group to organic substrates, which favorably occurs at the flattened Ni(I)-NO site via its nucleophilic reaction. Successful catalytic production of oximes from benzyl halides using NaNO2 is presented with a turnover number of >200 under mild conditions. In a key step of the catalysis, a nickel(I)-?NO species effectively activates alkyl halides, which is carefully evaluated by both experimental and theoretical methods. Our nickel catalyst effectively fulfills a dual purpose, namely, deoxygenating NOx anions and catalyzing C-N coupling.

- Cyanide-Free Cyanation of Aryl Iodides with Nitromethane by Using an Amphiphilic Polymer-Supported Palladium Catalyst
-
A cyanide-free aromatic cyanation was developed that uses nitromethane as a cyanide source in water with an amphiphilic polystyrene poly(ethylene glycol) resin-supported palladium catalyst and an alkyl halide (1-iodobutane). The cyanation proceeds through the palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of an aryl halide with nitromethane, followed by transformation of the resultant (nitromethyl)arene intermediate into a nitrile by 1-iodobutane.

- Integrating Hydrogen Production and Transfer Hydrogenation with Selenite Promoted Electrooxidation of α-Nitrotoluenes to E-Nitroethenes
-
Developing an electrochemical carbon-added reaction with accelerated kinetics to replace the low-value and sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is markedly significant to pure hydrogen production. Regulating the critical steps to precisely design electrode materials to selectively synthesize targeted compounds is highly desirable. Here, inspired by the surfaced adsorbed SeOx2? promoting OER, NiSe is demonstrated to be an efficient anode enabling α-nitrotoluene electrooxidation to E-nitroethene with up to 99 % E selectivity, 89 % Faradaic efficiency, and the reaction rate of 0.25 mmol cm?2 h?1 via inhibiting side reactions for energy-saving hydrogen generation. The high performance can be associated with its in situ formed NiOOH surface layer and absorbed SeOx2? via Se leaching-oxidation during electrooxidation, and the preferential adsorption of two -NO2 groups of intermediate on NiOOH. A self-coupling of α-carbon radicals and subsequent elimination of a nitrite molecule pathway is proposed. Wide substrate scope, scale-up synthesis of E-nitroethene, and paired productions of E-nitroethene and hydrogen or N-protected aminoarenes over a bifunctional NiSe electrode highlight the promising potential. Gold also displays a similar promoting effect for α-nitrotoluene transformation like SeOx2?, rationalizing the strategy of designing materials to suppress side reactions.

- Improving the metabolic stability of antifungal compounds based on a scaffold hopping strategy: Design, synthesis, and structure-activity relationship studies of dihydrooxazole derivatives

L-amino alcohol derivatives exhibited high antifungal activity, but the metabolic stability of human liver microsomes in vitro was poor, and the half-life of optimal compound 5 was less than 5 min. To improve the metabolic properties of the compounds, the scaffold hopping strategy was adopted and a series of antifungal compounds with a dihydrooxazole scaffold was designed and synthesized. Compounds A33-A38 substituted with 4-phenyl group on dihydrooxazole ring exhibited excellent antifungal activities against C. albicans, C. tropicalis and C. krusei, with MIC values in the range of 0.03–0.25 μg/mL. In addition, the metabolic stability of compounds A33 and A34 in human liver microsomes in vitro was improved significantly, with the half-life greater than 145 min and the half-life of 59.1 min, respectively. Moreover, pharmacokinetic studies in SD rats showed that A33 exhibited favourable pharmacokinetic properties, with a bioavailability of 77.69%, and half-life (intravenous administration) of 9.35 h, indicating that A33 is worthy of further study.

- Improved and Flexible Synthetic Access to the Spiroindole Backbone of Cebranopadol
-
By changing the dimethylamino to a nitro group, a novel synthetic access to the spirocyclic opioid analgesic cebranopadol was developed that is much more efficient compared with the established route. On the basis of the α-acidity of α-nitrotoluene, the two-fold Michael addition to acrylate gave an acyclic precursor compound, which was easily transformed by Dieckmann condensation and decarboxylation to the cyclohexanone derivative needed for the annulation of the indole ring by an oxa-Pictet-Spengler reaction. As an additional benefit, the reduction of the nitro group furnished an amine, which could be late-stage-diversified to carboxamides, sulfonamides, ureas, and N-alkyl congeners. The transformation of the nitro group at the spirocyclic scaffold to the dimethylamino function of the actual title compound was achieved in one step with zinc/formic acid/formaldehyde in 83% yield.

The synthesis of aromatic amines is of continuous interest in chemistry. An exceptionally versatile three-component reaction that directly transforms inexpensive nitro compounds, boronic acids, and trialkyl phosphites into tertiary aromatic amines has been realized. The reaction tolerates alkyl and aryl substituents on the nitro and boronic acid moieties, as well as functionalized phosphites. No transition-metal catalysis is required. The method is orthogonal to other classical metal-catalyzed syntheses since it tolerates the presence of halogens, and also permits the synthesis of functionalized compounds such as α-amino ester derivatives.

Nitroepoxides are potentially exploitable as synthons with vicinal electrophilic centers. Nevertheless, although advances have been made in the field, enantioselective epoxidation of nitroalkenes is still a challenging process. Herein we show a convenient procedure for the preparation of optically active nitroepoxides in high enantiomeric excess and high chemical yield. The kinetic data of the best catalyst have been examined using computational methods based on DFT calculations. Interestingly, the results demonstrate that the enantioselectivity of the epoxidation of nitroalkenes by this kind of catalyst is not only kinetically but also thermodynamically controlled.

The quaternized HBAA was synthesized via two steps. First, HBAA was synthesized via self-condensing vinyl polymerization of acrylamide at appropriate molar ratio of monomer to diperiodatocuprate(III). In the second step, 3-acrylamidopropyl trimethylammonium iodide was polymerized on peripheral area of the HBAA in the presence of diperiodatocuprate(III) solution again. The thermal behavior of HBAA and that of the quaternized HBAA were studied by DSC and TGA analysis. This phase transfer catalyst was easily recovered after reaction and reused several times without any loss of activity.

A regiocontrolled synthesis of unsymmetrical 3,4-diaryl-3-pyrrolin-2-ones has been achieved in three steps from 1,2-diaryl-1-nitroethenes with pyrrole-2-carboxamides (pyrrole Weinreb amides) serving as the key linchpin intermediates. Two different methods for the preparation of the requisite nitroalkenes were investigated: (1) modified Henry reaction between arylnitromethanes and arylimines; and (2) Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction of 2-aryl-1-bromo-1-nitroethenes with arylboronic acids. Some difficulty was encountered in the preparation of arylnitromethanes, thus leading to the exploration of a cross-coupling strategy that proved more useful. A Barton-Zard pyrrole cyclocondensation reaction between 1,2-diaryl-1-nitroethenes and N-methoxy-N-methyl-2-isocyanoacetamide gave the corresponding pyrrole Weinreb amides, which were then converted into the desired 3-pyrrolin-2-ones in two steps. Overall, this method allowed for the construction of 3,4-diaryl-3- pyrrolin-2-ones with complete regiocontrol of the substituents with respect to the lactam carbonyl. The utility of this synthetic methodology was demonstrated by the preparation of eight unsymmetrical and symmetrical 3,4-diaryl-3-pyrrolin- 2-ones including the N-H lactam analogue of the selective COX-II inhibitor, rofecoxib.

-
The HOF·CH3CN complex, readily prepared by passing F 2 through aqueous acetonitrile, is an exceptionally efficient oxygen transfer agent. It is unique in its capacity to oxidize various azides into the corresponding nitro derivatives. This method requires short reactions times and room temperature or below, and the desired nitro compounds were usually isolated in very good yields. The respective nitroso derivatives are believed to be the intermediates in this reaction. Functional groups such as aromatic rings, ketones, nitriles, halides, alcohols, and esters are tolerated. Sulfides react with HOF·CH3CN usually at the same rate as azides. Amines and olefins, however, react faster, so they have to be protected first. Nitro derivatives with various oxygen isotopes can be made using the labeled H 18OF·CH3CN. In the case of chiral azides the stereochemistry around the nitrogen-bonded carbons is retained.

- [VO(H2O)5]H[PMo12O40]- catalyzed nitration of alkanes with nitric acid
-
[VO(H2O)5]H[PMo12O40], which contains vanadyl counter cations and PMo12O40 3-, can act as a catalyst for the nitration of various alkanes including alkylbenzenes using nitric acid as a nitrating agent in acetic acid at 356 K.

- Nitration of alkanes with nitric acid by vanadium-substituted polyoxometalates
-
The nitration of alkanes by using nitric acid as a nitrating agent in acetic acid was efficiently promoted by vanadium-substituted Keggin-type phosphomolybdates such as [H4PVMo11O40], [H5PV2Mo10O40], and [H 6PV3Mo9O40] as catalyst precursors. A variety of alkanes including alkylbenzenes were nitrated to the corresponding nitroalkanes as major products in moderate yields with formation of oxygenated products under mild reaction conditions. The carbon-carbon bond cleavage reactions hardly proceeded. ESR, NMR, and IR spectroscopic data show that the vanadium-substituted polyoxometalate, for example, [H4PVMo 11O40], decomposes to form free vanadium species and [PMo12O40]3- Keggin anion. The reaction mechanism involving a radical-chain path is proposed. The polyoxometalates initially abstract the hydrogen of the alkane to form the alkyl radical and the reduced polyoxometalates. The reduced polyoxometalates subsequently react with nitric acid to produce the oxidized form and nitrogen dioxide. This step would be promoted mainly by the phosphomolybdates, [PMo12O 40]n-, and the vanadium cations efficiently enhance the activity. The nitrogen dioxide promotes the further formation of nitrogen dioxide and an alkyl radical. The alkyl radical is trapped by nitrogen dioxide to form the corresponding nitroalkane.

- From azides to nitro compounds in a few seconds using HOF·CH3CN
-
HOF·CH3CN, a very efficient oxygen-transfer agent, was reacted with various azides to form the corresponding nitro compounds in excellent yields and in very short reaction times. The respective nitroso derivatives were found to be intermediates in this reaction. When the azides were reacted with MCPBA or DMDO, no reaction took place, and the starting materials were fully recovered. Copyright

- An efficient nitration of light alkanes and the alkyl side-chain of aromatic compounds with nitrogen dioxide and nitric acid catalyzed by N-hydroxyphthalimide
-
Nitration of light alkanes and the alkyl side-chain of aromatic compounds with NO2 and HNO3 was successfully achieved by the use of N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHPI) as a catalyst under relatively mild conditions. For example, the nitration of propane with NO2 catalyzed by NHPI at 100 °C for 14 h gave 2-nitropropane in good yield without formation of 1-nitropropane and cleaved products such as nitroethane and nitromethane. Various aliphatic nitroalkanes, which are difficult to prepare by conventional methods, could be selectively obtained by means of the present methodology by using NHPI as the key catalyst. In addition, the side-chain nitration of alkylbenzenes such as toluene was selectively carried out to lead to α-nitrotoluene without the ring nitration. The present reaction provides an efficient selective method for the nitration of light alkanes and alkylbenzenes, which has been very difficult to carry out so far.

- Zeolite-assisted nitration of neat toluene and chlorobenzene with a nitrogen dioxide/molecular oxygen system. Remarkable enhancement of para-selectivity
-
In the presence of molecular oxygen and HZSM-5, neat toluene reacted with liquid nitrogen dioxide in a regioselective manner at room temperature to yield mononitrotoluenes as the main product, where the para isomer predominated up to 90% and the ortho-para isomer ratio improved to 0.08. Chlorobenzene behaved similarly, giving a para-predominant nitration product.

- Method for producing nitro compounds
-
The method provides nitro compounds at a high conversion and selectivity by nitrating substrates under comparatively mild conditions in the absence of catalysts. Organic substrates are nitrated using no catalysts or ozone, but using (1) at least one nitrogen compound selected from N2 O or NO and oxygen. It is advantageous for the nitration reaction to employ a nitrogen compound obtained by a reaction of the nitrogen compound with oxygen, particularly a nitrogen oxide comprising N2 O3 as a main component. Additionally, organic substrates are nitrated using (2) NO2. The substrates include a compound having a methine-carbon atom, and a compound having a methyl group or methylene group in an adjacent position to an aromatic ring.

- Preparation and structure determination of 1-benzyl-, 1-methyl- and 1H-5-[(2-nitro-2-phenyl)ethenyl]imidazoles
-
1-R-5-[(2-Nitro-2-phenyl)ethenyl]imidazoles (R = Bn, Me, H) 6a,b,c were synthesized by the Knoevenagel reaction of the corresponding aldehydes 4a,b,c with phenylnitromethane 5. The E-isomers 6a,b,c were precipitated from the reaction mixture as crystalline compounds in 89, 81 and 60% yields, respectively. Traces of the Z-isomers 6a'b',c' were found in the reaction mixtures but could be obtained in a ratio of 4:3 from the E-form with UV irradiation. The E-forms were more stable and the Z-isomers changed again to the E-isomers in several weeks.

- Aromatic Nitration under Neutral Conditions Using Nitrogen Dioxide and Ozone as the Nitrating Agent. Application to Aromatic Acetals and Acylal
-
Cyclic acetals derived from aromatic carbonyl compounds can be nitrated smoothly with nitrogen dioxide in ice-cooled dichloromethane or acetonitrile in the presence of ozone and magnesium oxide to give ortho- and para-nitro derivatives as the major product in good combined yields, the acetal ring as a protective group remaining almost intact.An acylal derived from benzaldehyde similarly undergoes nitration on the aromatic ring to give an isomeric mixture of three nitro compounds, in which the ortho and meta isomers predominate, while aromatic orthoesters are rapidly decomposed to give simply the parent esters.Ring nitration under neutral conditions has been interpreted in terms of a nonclassical mechanism, in which nitrogen trioxide is involved as the initial electrophile.
