The Cp*RuCl-based catalyst enables expedient access to a variety of benzofused six-membered azaheterocycles from unprotected o-alkynylanilines and trimethylsilyldiazomethane through an unprecedent tandem carbene/alkyne metathesis/N-H insertion reaction. The transformation takes place under mild reaction conditions (room temperature, 15 min) and with excellent functional group tolerance. The synthetic utility of the final products and a mechanistic rationale are also discussed.

A porous cross-linked poly (ethyleneamine)-polysulfonamide (PEA-PSA) as a novel organic support system is synthesized in the presence of silica template by nanocasting technique. The paper demonstrates immobilization of CuI nanoparticles inside the pores (PEA-PSA?CuI) for the facile recovery and recycling of these nanoparticles. The presence of porous PEA-PSA and PEA-PSA?CuI nanocomposites was confirmed using FT-IR spectroscopy, FE-SEM, EDX, TGA, XRD, TEM, BET, XPS, WDX, 1H NMR, and ICP-OES techniques. The PEA-PSA?CuI along with Ag(I)/K2S2O8 was implemented as a reusable cooperative catalyst-oxidant system in the N-arylation of p-toluenesulfonamide with substituted carboxylic acids in mild condition. So, the novel decarboxylative cross-coupling catalyzed by copper and silver has been developed. Aromatic, secondary and tertiary aliphatic acids underwent high efficient decarboxylative processes with p-toluenesulfonamide to afford the corresponding products. This method provides a practical approach for the flexible synthesis of sulfonamides from the readily affordable substrates. The catalyst is highly reusable and efficient, especially in terms of time and yield of the desired product.

The mild and readily available Cu(NO3)2 mediated ortho nitration of anilides with broad substrate using K2S2O8 as an oxidant in the absence of any other metal catalyst and nitrating agent under mild conditions was reported for the first time.

An operationally simple method has been developed for the preparation of N-unsubstituted benzotriazoles by diazotization and intramolecular cyclization of a wide range of 1,2-aryldiamines under mild conditions, using a polymer-supported nitrite reagent and p-tosic acid. The functional group tolerance of this approach was further demonstrated with effective activation and cyclization of N-alkyl, -aryl, and -acyl ortho-aminoanilines leading to the synthesis of N1-substituted benzotriazoles. The synthetic utility of this one-pot heterocyclization process was exemplified with the preparation of a number of biologically and medicinally important benzotriazole scaffolds, including an α-amino acid analogue.

A series of sulfonamide derivatives were synthesized by reactions with various functional groups containing benzenesulfonyl chlorides and aniline derivatives under different substitution reaction conditions. The structures of SMZ derivatives were confirmed with melting point, FT-IR, 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR, and LC-MS/MS techniques. In order to investigate the cytotoxic effects of these derivatives, we used a model plant species. The synthesized compounds (S1–S5) and sulfamethazine (SMZ) as a positive control were applied to Arabidopsis thaliana seeds. Our results indicated that S3 and S4 induced shorter roots and lower wet weight in plants. Plants treated with S2 and S5 showed no growth effects, similar to the untreated control group, while S1 slightly reduced root length and wet weight. These results suggest that S3 and the newly synthesized S4 derivatives have potential for use as herbicides since they possess cytotoxic effects on A. thaliana plants.

A facile and efficient approach to N-(2-nitrophenyl) benzenesulfonamides was developed under microwave irradiation. A series of pyrabactin analogues containing nitrophenyl scaffold was obtained in excellent yields. In addition, the method was pretty suitable to prepare flusulfamide. Significantly, the 3ae could enhance POD activity in response to heavy metal stress.

Due to their remarkable properties, task-specific ionic liquids have turned out to be progressively popular over the last few years in the field of green organic synthesis. Herein, for the first time, we report that a new task-specific nitrite-based ionic liquid such as 3-(ethoxycarbonyl)-1-(5-methyl-5-(nitrosooxy)hexyl)pyridin-1-ium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imides (TS-N-IL) derived from biodegradable ethyl nicotinate indeed acted as an efficient and eco-friendly reagent for the synthesis of highly valuable nitroaromatic compounds and drugs including nitroxynil, tolcapone, niclofolan, flutamide, niclosamide and nitrazepam. The bridging of an ionic liquid with nitrite group not only increases the yield and rate of direct C[sbnd]N bond formation reaction but also allows easy product separation and recyclability of a byproduct. Nonvolatile nature, easy synthesis, merely stoichiometric need and mildness are a portion of the extra focal points of TS-N-IL while contrasted with tert-butyl nitrite an outstanding and highly-flammable reagent utilized largely in organic synthesis.

In this report, we have explored a triple mode of chemical reactivity of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate. Typically, bromodifluoroacetic acid has been used as a difluorocarbene precursor for difluoromethylation of soft nucleophiles. Here we have disclosed nucleophilicity and base dependent divergent chemical reactivity of ethyl bromodifluoroacetate. It furnishes lithium hydroxide and cesium carbonate promoted difluoromethylation of tosyl-protected aniline and electron-deficient phenols respectively. Interestingly, switching the base from lithium hydroxide to 4-N,N-dimethylamino pyridine (DMAP) tosyl-protected anilines afforded the corresponding N-ethylation product. Whereas, highly nucleophilic thiophenols furnished the corresponding S-carboethoxydifluoromethylation product via a rapid SN2 attack to the bromine atom prior to the ester hydrolysis. This mechanistic divergence was established through several control experiments. It was revealed that difluoromethylation reaction proceeds through a tandem in situ ester hydrolysis/decarboxylative-debrominative difluorocarbene formation and subsequent trapping by the soft nucleophile-NHTs or electron-deficient phenolic ?OH groups. In the presence of DMAP the hydrolysis of the ester is perturbed instead a nucleophilic attack at the ethyl moiety provides the N-ethylation product. Hence, besides the development of a practical base-promoted N-difluoromethylation of amines and electron-deficient phenols, divergent reactivity pattern of inexpensive and user-friendly ethyl bromodifluoroacetate has been explored. (Figure presented.).

An efficient Fe(NO3)3·9H2O promoted ortho-nitration reaction of aniline derivatives has been developed. This reaction may go through a nitrogen dioxide radical (NO2) intermediate, which is generated by the thermal decomposition of iron(iii) nitrate. The practicality of the present method using nontoxic and inexpensive iron reagents has been shown by the broad substrate scope and applications.

The photocatalytic nitration of protected anilines proceeds with riboflavin tetraacetate as an organic photoredox catalyst. Sodium nitrite serves as the NO2 source in this visible-light-driven room temperature reaction. Various nitroanilines are obtained in moderate to good yields without the addition of acid or stoichiometric oxidation agents. The catalytic cycle is closed by aerial oxygen as the terminal oxidant.

An unprecedented copper-catalyzed in situ azidation-oxidation for the nitration of anilides and sulfonamides has been developed by direct CAr-H functionalization. This novel and efficient nitration protocol is achieved employing TMSN3 and TBHP without the exclusion of air or moisture. The synthetic applications of the 2-nitroanilides have been explored.

The first example of silver-catalyzed intermolecular and intramolecular Meerwein fluoroarylation of styrenes with aryl diazonium salts has been developed. This reaction is operationally simple, scalable and proceeds under mild conditions. Furthermore, fluorinated dihydrobenzofurans and indolines were easily accessed using this method. This journal is

CuSO4-mediated decarboxylative C-N cross-coupling of aromatic carboxylic acid with amide has been developed, leading to N-arylamides in modest to excellent yields. Anilines bearing electron-withdrawing substituents could also couple efficiently

A direct nitration of aromatic sulfonamides using sodium nitrite as the nitrating agent has been developed. The reaction shows typically mono-substitution selectivity and can be enlarged to the gram scale with good yield.

A practical copper-catalyzed direct nitration of protected anilines, by using one equivalent of nitric acid as the nitrating agent, has been developed. This procedure features mild reaction conditions, wide structural scope (with regard to both N-protecting group and arene substitution), and high functional-group tolerance. Dinitration with two equivalents of nitric acid is also feasible. Practical and reliable: A Cu-catalyzed selective nitration of para- and ortho-substituted aniline derivatives by using one equivalent of HNO3 has been developed that produces water as the only stoichiometric byproduct (see scheme; PG=protecting group). This method is compatible with strongly electron-deficient substrates, enabling dinitration (by using 2.0 equiv of HNO3). This method allows for a rapid access to relevant nitrogen-containing heterocyclic architectures.

We have developed a photocatalytic reduction of nitroarenes as an efficient, chemoselective route to biologically important N-phenyl hydroxamic acid scaffolds. Optimal conditions call for 2.5 mol% of a ruthenium photocatalyst, visible light irradiation, and a dihydropyridine terminal reductant. Because of the mild nature of the visible light activation, functional groups that might be sensitive to other non-photochemical reduction methods are easily tolerated.

A methodology for the efficient conversion of aromatic sulfonamides into their mono-nitro derivatives using tert-butyl nitrite is reported. The reaction exhibits a high degree of chemoselectivity for sulfonamide functionalized aryl systems, even in the presence of other sensitive or potentially reactive functionalities.

The inhibition of two human cytosolic carbonic anhydrase (hCA, EC 4.2.1.1) isozymes I, II and human serum isozyme VI, with a series of tosylited aromatic amine derivatives was investigated. The KI ranges of compounds 1-14 and acetazolamide against hCA I ranged between 1.130 and- 448.2 μM, against hCA II between 0.103 and- 14.3 μM, and against hCA VI ranged between 0.340 and- 42.39 μM. Tosylited aromatic amine derivatives are thus interesting hCA I, II and VI inhibitors, and might be used as leads for generating enzyme inhibitors eventually targeting other isoforms which have not been assayed yet for their interactions with such agents.

Aryl(sulfonyl)amino groups, readily derived from sulfonyl- or arylamines by standard methods as well as the recently introduced methods of sulfonylation and arylation, proved to be good leaving groups in intramolecular substitution reactions by various nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon nucleophiles.

A qualitative 3D pharmacophore model (a common feature based model or Catalyst HipHop algorithm) developed from well-known natural product androgen receptor down-regulating agents (ARDAs). The 3D pharmacophore model is used as a template in virtual screening compounds for new ARDAs. ARDA compounds and compounds that strongly inhibit the growth of human prostate LNCaP cells. The compounds may be used in compositions and methods of inhibiting cell proliferation of a cancer and methods of preventing or treating cancer, including prostate cancer.

The search for novel androgen receptor (AR) down-regulating agents by catalyst HipHop pharmacophore modeling led to the discovery of some lead molecules. Unexpectedly, the effect of these leads on human prostate cancer LNCaP cell viability did not correlate with the ability of the compounds to cause down-regulation of AR protein expression. Through rational synthetic optimization of the lead compound (BTB01434), we have discovered a series of novel substituted diaryl molecules as potent anti-prostate cancer agents. Some compounds (1-6) were shown to be extremely potent inhibitors of LNCaP cell viability with GI50 values in the nanomolar range (1.45-83 nM). The most potent compound (4-methylphenyl)[(4-methylphenyl)sulfonyl]amine (5) with a GI50 value of 1.45 nM is 27,000 times more potent than our lead compound BTB01434 (GI50 = 39.8 μM). In addition, some of the compounds exhibited modest anti-androgenic activities and one was also a potent inhibitor (GI50 = 850 nM) of PC-3 (AR-null) cell growth. A clear structure-activity relationship (SAR) has been established for activity against LNCaP cells, where potent molecules possess two substituted/unsubstituted aromatic rings connected through a sulfonamide linker. These novel compounds are strong candidates for development for the treatment of hormone-sensitive and importantly hormone-refractory prostate cancers in humans.

Hindered biaryls have been simply prepared using diazonium salt precursors and an intramolecular free radical [1,5] ipso substitution protocol. The introduction of an additional substituent ortho to the diazonium group in the σ aryl radical donor further enforces the formation of ipso substitution products and hence fully hindered biaryls are the favoured products.
