- Zinc salt-catalyzed reduction of α-aryl imino esters, diketones and phenylacetylenes with water as hydrogen source
-
The zinc salt-catalyzed reduction of α-aryl imino esters, diketones and phenylacetylenes with water as hydrogen source and zinc as reductant was successfully conducted. The presented method provides a low-cost, environmentally friendly and practical preparation of α-aryl amino esters, α-hydroxyketones and phenylethylenes. By using D2O as deuterium source, the corresponding products were obtained in high efficiency with excellent deuterium incorporation rate, which gives a cheap and safe tool for access to valuable deuterium-labelled compounds.

- Base-Free Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of 1,2-Di- and Monoketones Catalyzed by a (NH)2P2-Macrocyclic Iron(II) Hydride
-
The hydride isonitrile complex [FeH(CNCEt3)(1 a)]BF4 (2) containing a chiral P2(NH)2 macrocycle (1 a), in the presence of 2-propanol as hydrogen donor, catalyzes the base-free asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of prostereogenic ketones to alcohols and the hemihydrogenation of benzils to benzoins, which contain a base-labile stereocenter. Benzoins are formed in up to 83 % isolated yield with enantioselectivity reaching 95 % ee. Ketones give the same enantioselectivity observed with the parent catalytic system [Fe(CNCEt3)2(1 a)] (3 a) that operates with added NaOtBu.

- Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel 1,2,4-triazine derivatives bearing carbazole moiety as potent α-glucosidase inhibitors
-
A new series of 1,2,4-triazine derivatives bearing carbazole moiety 7a-7p were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their α-glucosidase inhibitory activity. The majority of the screened compounds displayed potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity, with IC50 values in the range of 4.27 ± 0.07-47.75 ± 0.25 μM as compared to the standard drug acarbose. Among the series, compound 7k represented the most potent α-glucosidase inhibitory activity with IC50 values of 4.27 ± 0.07 μM. Kinetic analysis revealed that compound 7k is a non-competitive inhibitor with a Ki of 4.43 μM. Furthermore, the binding interactions of compound 7k with α-glucosidase was confirmed through molecular docking. This study showed these 1,2,4-triazine derivatives bearing carbazole moiety as a new class of α-glucosidase inhibitors.

- Chemoselective and repetitive intermolecular cross-acyloin condensation reactions between a variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes using a robust N-heterocyclic carbene catalyst

We found that chemoselectivity of the crossed acyloin product is controlled by the adjustment of the aromatic aldehyde/aliphatic aldehyde ratio. Moreover, we observed the persistent catalytic activity of the homogeneous NHC catalyst in a solution due to N

- NHC-initiated cascade, metal-free synthesis of quinoxaline derivatives under solvent-free conditions
-
2,3-Diaryl quinoxaline derivatives have been efficiently synthesized by cascade, metal-free, and solvent-free reaction of aryl aldehydes with aryl 1,2-diamines initiated by N-heterocyclic carbene. Compared with reported methods, this procedure has the advantages of easy work-up, reduced energy consumption, and elimination of solvent waste, hazards, and toxicity. A group of potentially bioactive compounds has been prepared for biomedical screening.

- Synthesis and biological studies of silver N-heterocyclic carbene complexes derived from 4,5-diarylimidazole
-
A novel class of silver N-heterocyclic carbene complexes (5a-f) were synthesized in high yield by reacting silver(I) oxide with 4,5-diarylimidazolium halides (4a-f). The complexes were characterized using NMR and IR spectroscopy. The structure was confirmed on the example of bromo[1,3-diethyl-4,5-bis(4- fluorophenyl)imidazol-2-ylidene]silver(I) (5c) by crystal structure analysis. The X-ray structure indicated a three-dimensional coordination polymer with a repeating unit consisting of a Ccarben-Ag2-Br 2-Ccarben cluster. Pharmacological investigations revealed that all silver complexes possessed growth inhibitory effects against breast cancer (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231) as well as colon carcinoma (HT-29) cells. The most active compound 5c was slightly less active against MCF-7 cells, more active against MDA-MB-231 cells and comparable active as cisplatin against HT-29 cells. Further pharmacological investigations were performed with selected compounds on estrogen receptor (ER) binding, DNA intercalation, cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibition and antibacterial activity. The complexes were only marginally active at the DNA, ER and the COX enzymes, so these targets can be excluded to be involved in the mode of action. However, the growth of bacteria was significantly inhibited by 5c and 5f and opens a new application of this complex type.

- NHC triggered cascade metal-free synthesis of 2,3-diarylated indoles under solvent-free conditions
-
A new cascade strategy to the synthesis of 2,3-diarylated indoles via the metal-free reaction of aryl aldehyde and aryl amine triggered by N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) under solvent-free conditions, has been disclosed. The protocol has the advantages of easy work-up, high yields, wide application scope, and an environmentally benign procedure compared with the reported methods.

- NHC gold halide complexes derived from 4,5-diarylimidazoles: Synthesis, structural analysis, and pharmacological investigations as potential antitumor agents
-
A series of novel neutral NHC gold halide complexes derived from 4,5-diarylimidazoles were synthesized, characterized, and analyzed for biological effects. High growth inhibitory effects in MCF-7 and MDA-MB 231 breast cancer as well as HT-29 colon cancer cell lines depended on the presence of the C4,C5-standing aromatic rings. Methoxy groups at these rings did not change the growth inhibitory properties, while F-substituents in the ortho-position (5d) increased the activity in MCF-7 and MDA-MB 231 cells. The substituents at the nitrogen atoms and the oxidation state of the metal play a subordinate role. The most active bromo[1,3-diethyl-4,5-bis(2-fluorophenyl)-1,3- dihydro-2H-imidazol-2-ylidene]gold(I) (5d) was distinctly more active than cisplatin. All complexes caused thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) inhibition (EC 50 = 374-1505 nM) distinctly lower than auranofin (EC50 = 18.6 nM) excluding this enzyme as main target. Because of the low nuclear content, a participation of DNA interaction on the mode of action is very unlikely. The missing ER binding and the missing correlation of growth inhibition and inactivation of COX enzymes exclude these targets, too. (Figure presented)

- Analysis of the inhibition of mammalian carboxylesterases by novel fluorobenzoins and fluorobenzils
-
We have synthesized and assessed the ability of symmetrical fluorobenzoins and fluorobenzils to inhibit mammalian carboxylesterases (CE). The majority of the latter were excellent inhibitors of CEs however unexpectedly, the fluorobenzoins were very good enzyme inhibitors. Positive correlations were seen with the charge on the hydroxyl carbon atom, the carbonyl oxygen, and the Hammett constants for the derived Ki values with the fluorobenzoins.

- Catalytic action of azolium salts. VI. Preparation of benzoins and acyloins by condensation of aldehydes catalyzed by azolium salts
-
Benzoins 4 (2-hydroxyethanones substituted with aryl groups at the 1- and 2-positions) were prepared by self-condensation of aromatic aldehydes 3 using catalytic amounts of azolium salts 1 and 2 in excellent yields. 1,3-Dimethylbenzimidazolium iodide (2) was an effective catalyst for the preparation of acyloins 6 (2-hydroxyethanones substituted with alkyl groups at the 1- and 2-positions) by self-condensation of aliphatic aldehydes 5. On the other hand, an attempt at the condensation of hexanal (5d) catalyzed by 1,3-dimethylimidazolium iodide (1) failed to yield the acyloin 6d, and instead the aldol-type condensed product 8d was obtained.
