- Formylation of activated arenes by phenyl formate: Implications for the mechanism of the Fries rearrangement of aryl formates
-
We present an NMR and DFT investigation of the reaction of phenyl formate with 3-methoxyphenol and 3,5-dimethoxyphenol with excess BCl3. The products obtained (3-methoxy- and 3,5-dimethoxy-salicylaldehyde, respectively) are the same as those resulting from the Fries rearrangement of 3-methoxy- and 3,5-dimethoxy-phenyl formate. These results represent a novel regioselective synthetic route to aromatic aldehydes, using phenyl formate as a source of formylating agent. They also unambiguously prove that the Fries rearrangement of aryl formates (that we recently investigated in J. Org. Chem. 71, 9331-9340, 2006) is intermolecular: the intermediate formyl chloride is released in situ and, in turn, it formylates the intermediate dichloroborate ester of 3-methoxy- and 3,5-dimethoxy-phenol in a second independent step. The -BCl2 moiety bound to the aryl oxygen of the substituted phenol interacts with the formyl chloride strongly favouring the ortho substitution. Copyright

- Catalytic oxidation of alcohols and alkyl benzenes to carbonyls using Fe3O4?SiO2?(TEMPO)-: Co -(Chlorophyll-CoIII) as a bi-functional, self-co-oxidant nanocatalyst
-
Chlorophyll b was extracted from heliotropium europaeum plant, demetalated, allylated and grafted to acrylated TEMPO through a copolymerization protocol. Then, the chlorophyll monomers were coordinated to Co ions, immobilized on magnetic nanoparticles and the resulting hybrid was used as a powerful catalyst for a variety of oxidation reactions. By using the present method, oxidation of benzylic alcohols and alkyl benzenes to carbonyls was accomplished in water under aerobic conditions. Moreover, direct oxidation of alcohols to carboxylic acids was performed by adding NaOCl to the mixture. All entries were oxidized to the corresponding desired product with high to excellent yields and up to 97% selectivity. The catalyst was thoroughly characterized by CV, TGA, VSM, XRD, XPS, DLS, FE-SEM, TEM, UV-Vis, EDX, and BET analyses. The activity of the catalyst was investigated by applying various components of the catalyst to the oxidation model separately. The reasonable mechanisms are suggested based on the cooperation between the TEMPO groups and cobalt(iii) (or Co(iv)) sites on the catalyst. The catalyst could be recovered and reused for at least 7 consecutive recycles without any considerable reactivity loss. This journal is

- Anchimerically Assisted Selective Cleavage of Acid-Labile Aryl Alkyl Ethers by Aluminum Triiodide and N, N-Dimethylformamide Dimethyl Acetal
-
Aluminum triiodide is harnessed by N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMF-DMA) for the selective cleavage of ethers via neighboring group participation. Various acid-labile functional groups, including carboxylate, allyl, tert-butyldimethylsilyl (TBS), and tert-butoxycarbonyl (Boc), suffer the conditions intact. The method offers an efficient approach to cleaving catechol monoalkyl ethers and to uncovering phenols from acetal-type protecting groups such as methoxymethyl (MOM), methoxyethoxymethyl (MEM), and tetrahydropyranyl (THP) chemoselectively.

- Polymer-incarcerated palladium-catalyzed facile: In situ carbonylation for the synthesis of aryl aldehydes and diaryl ketones using CO surrogates under ambient conditions
-
In this existing work, an efficient polymer-supported palladium catalyst, a furfurylamine-functionalized Merrifield complex of palladium [Pd@(Merf-FA)], was synthesized and characterized, showing excellent catalytic activity towards in situ carbonylation reactions using carbon monoxide surrogates like formic acid and chloroform. Herein, we examined the catalytic activity of the Pd@(Merf-FA) catalyst for the formylation of aryl iodides and carbonylative Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reactions. The Pd@(Merf-FA) catalyst was systematically characterized by several techniques like HRTEM, elemental mapping, PXRD, TGA-DTA, FESEM, UV-vis, EDAX, CHN and AAS analysis. The catalyst is highly recyclable, able to be recycled up to six times without showing any significant decrease in catalytic activity. The [Pd@(Merf-FA)] catalyst proved to be more efficient compared to the corresponding homogeneous palladium catalyst. In addition, the leaching experiment of the synthesized catalyst was studied, which showed that negligible leaching of metal occurred from the polymeric support.

- Fe3O4@SiO2@Im[Cl]Mn(III)-complex as a highly efficient magnetically recoverable nanocatalyst for selective oxidation of alcohol to imine and oxime
-
An efficient and environmentally friendly oxidation process for the one-pot preparation of oxime, imine and carbonyl compounds through alcohol oxidation in the presence of H2O2 and/or O2 have been developed by a melamine-Mn(III) Schiff base complex supported on Fe3O4@SiO2–Cl nanoparticles, named as Fe3O4@SiO2@Im[Cl]Mn(III)-complex nanocomposite, at room temperature. Direct oxidation of alcohol to carboxylic acid was performed using the catalyst in the presence of molecular O2 at room temperature in a different approach. The oxidation products were obtained with excellent yields and high TOFs. The properties of the catalyst were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis (C, H, N), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), inductive coupled plasma (ICP), cyclic voltammetry (CV), nuclear magnetic resonance (1H & 13C NMR), vibration sample magnetometer (VSM), Brunauer– Emmett–Teller (BET) and differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) analyses. The mechanism of the oxidation processes was investigated for the both H2O2 and O2 oxidants. The role of the imidazolium moiety in the catalyst as a secondary functionality was investigated. Chemoselectivity behavior of the catalyst was studied by some combinations. The catalyst could be recycled from the reaction mixture by a simple external magnet and reused for several times without any considerable reactivity loss.

- Origin of green photoluminescence in four-ring bent-core molecules with ESIPT, selective sensing of zinc ions by turn-on emission and their liquid crystal properties
-
Fluorescent four-ring symmetrical/unsymmetrical molecules containing alkyl chains of a varied number of-CH2-groups with a bent-core have been synthesized to explore their liquid crystalline (LC) and photophysical properties. Some of these molecules depending upon their alkyl chain length were found to exhibit B1 and B7 liquid crystalline phases and are characterized by various analytical techniques such as FT-IR,1H NMR, mass, POM, DSC, single crystal XRD, etc. Crystal structure determination reveals the hydrogen bonded enol form of these molecules with non-planar bent-molecular geometry. Intramolecular hydrogen bonding was found to play an important role in the stabilization of these molecules and in the origin of their green photoluminescence (GPL). The photo-physical experimental results through various control experiments clearly demonstrate that the origin of the large Stokes shifted GPL of these molecules can be attributed to the excited state intramolecular proton transfer (ESIPT) process. The formation of various types of anionic species and their stability were explored through steady-state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. These compounds are found to be good turn-on PL probes in the selective detection of zinc ions at the micromolar level. Upon binding of zinc ions with the bent-core molecule, the structural changes have been investigated through NMR spectroscopy.

- Co-immobilization of Laccase and TEMPO in the Compartments of Mesoporous Silica for a Green and One-Pot Cascade Synthesis of Coumarins by Knoevenagel Condensation
-
Co-immobilization of bio- and chemocatalysts produces sustainable, recyclable hybrid systems that open new horizons for green cascade approaches in organic synthesis. Here, the co-immobilization of laccase and 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidin-1-oxyl (TEMPO) in mesoporous silica was used for the one-pot aqueous synthesis of 30 coumarin-3-carboxylate derivatives under mild conditions through the condensation of in situ oxidized 2-hydroxybenzyl alcohols and malonate derivatives. A maximum yield was obtained after incubating at pH 6.0 and 45 °C for 24 h. An efficient organic synthesis was catalyzed by the hybrid catalyst in 10 % organic solvent. More than 95 % of the initial activity of the enzyme was preserved after 10 cycles, and no significant catalyst deactivation occurred after 10 runs. This new system efficiently catalyzed the in situ aerobic oxidation of salicyl alcohols, followed by Knoevenagel condensation, which confirmed the possibility of producing efficient hybrid catalysts by co-immobilization of catalytic species in mesoporous materials.

Urea was successfully immobilized on the surface of chloropropyl-modified Fe3O4@SiO2 core–shell magnetic nanoparticles, then supported by MgBr2 and acts as a unique catalyst for oxidation of benzylic alcohols to aldehydes and ketones, and ortho-formylation of phenols to salicylaldehydes. The prepared catalyst was characterized by FT-IR, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, CHN and TGA. It was found that Fe3O4@SiO2?~?urea/MgBr2 showed higher catalytic activity than homogenous MgBr2, and could be reused several times without significant loss of activity.

They were obtained in higher yields (from 64-81% up to 79-87%) and shorter reaction time (from 3 h down to 15 min), compared with earlier conventional methodologies. The structures of all the target compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and HRMS. This provides an attractive and alternative method for the preparation of high-value vitamin D-coumarin hybrids.

- Direct preparation of oximes and Schiff bases by oxidation of primary benzylic or allylic alcohols in the presence of primary amines using Mn(III) complex of polysalicylaldehyde as an efficient and selective heterogeneous catalyst by molecular oxygen
-
The present work introduced the new strategy for direct preparation of Schiff base as well as oxime compounds through oxidation of primary benzylic or allylic alcohols in the presence of amines by complexation of Mn(III) to a polymeric Schiff base ligand based on polysalicylaldehyde (PSA-Schiff base-Mn(III) complex). As a new environmentally benign protocol, manganese heterogeneous polymeric catalytic system demonstrated promising oxidation of alcohols in ethanol using molecular oxygen. PSA was synthesized through polycondensation reaction of 2-hydroxy-5-chloromethyl-benzaldehyde and then treated with 2-aminophenol to form polymeric ligand. Average molecular weight of PSA was studied by an analytical method as well as GPC analysis. Formation of the catalyst was characterized step by step by FTIR, UV–Vis, 1H NMR, TGA, CHN and EDX analyses. Loading amounts of metal ions as well as leaching amount of the catalysis were studied by ICP-OES instrument. The catalyst shows up to high yields for oxidation of primary and secondary primary benzylic or allylic alcohols to carbonyl compounds, especially direct imine formation in a mild, inexpensive and efficient method which can be successfully recovered from the reaction mixture and reused for several times without any remarkable reactivity loss. Effect of solvent, temperature, catalyst amount and oxygen donors along with some blank experiments to elucidation of catalyst activity was evaluated in this work. Also chemoselectivity behavior of the catalyst was investigated with some combinations.

- Enantioselective Synthesis of 6,6-Disubstituted Pentafulvenes Containing a Chiral Pendant Hydroxy Group
-
Simple enantioselective synthesis of 6,6-disubstituted pentafulvenes bearing chiral pendant hydroxy groups are attained by cascade reactivity using commercially available proline-based organocatalysts. Condensation of cyclopentadiene with the acetyl function of a 1,2-formylacetophenone, followed by cyclization of a resulting fulvene-stabilized carbanion with the formyl group, generates bicyclic chiral alcohols with initial er values up to 94:6. Exceptional enantio-enrichment of the resultant alcohols results upon crystallization—even near racemic samples spontaneously de-racemize. This enables new families of substituted cyclopentadienes that are both enantiomerically and diastereomerically pure to be rapidly attained.

- Selective Aromatic Hydroxylation with Dioxygen and Simple Copper Imine Complexes
-
The formation of a bis(μ-oxido)dicopper complex with the ligand 2-(diethylaminoethyl)-6-phenylpyridine (PPN) and its subsequent hydroxylation of the pendant phenyl group (studied earlier by Holland et al., Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 1999, 38, 1139-1142) has been reinvestigated to gain a better understanding of such systems in view of the development of new synthetic applications. To this end, we prepared a simple copper imine complex system that also affords selective o-hydroxylation of aromatic aldehydes by using dioxygen as the oxidant: Applying the ligand N′-benzylidene-N,N-diethylethylenediamine (BDED), salicylaldehyde was prepared in good yields and we show that this reaction also occurs through an intermediate bis-μ-oxido copper complex. The underlying reaction mechanism for the PPN-supported complex was studied at the BLYP-D/TZVP level of density functional theory and the results for representative stationary points along reaction paths of the BDED-supported complex reveal a closely related mechanistic scenario. The results demonstrate a new facile synthetic way to introduce OH groups into aromatic aldehydes.

The reaction is proceeding via Knoevenagel pathway followed by a selective addition of the phenolic hydroxyl group to the carbonyl group adjacent to the CCl3 group rather than ester carbonyl due to a strong electron withdrawing effect and produced coumarin derivative 3a with the elimination of CHCl3.

Although logical evaluation revealed weak p53-MDM2 binding inhibitory activities, most of the obtained molecules displayed moderate to potent cytotoxicities against tested cell lines. As a potential lead compound for further optimization, compound 9c was evaluated as the most potent compound against four cell lines and could induce cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase. The binding mode of compound 9f and MDM2 was further studied by docking analysis and the unexpected interaction mode revealed that this series of compounds may take part into a different binding modes as the lead compound Such as Nutlin, which could induce a different mechanism in cancer therapy.

In order to find novel antiviral agents, a series of allosteric MEK1 inhibitors were designed and synthesized. Based on docking results, multiple optimizations were made on the coumarin scaffold. Some of the derivatives showed excellent MEK1 binding affinity in the appropriate enzymatic assays and displayed obvious inhibitory effects on the ERK pathway in a cellular assay. These compounds also significantly inhibited virus (EV71) replication in HEK293 and RD cells. Several compounds showed potential as agents for the treatment of viral infective diseases, with the most potent compound 18 showing an IC 50 value of 54.57 nM in the MEK1 binding assay.

- Design, synthesis and CoMFA studies of N1-amino acid substituted 2,4,5-triphenyl imidazoline derivatives as p53-MDM2 binding inhibitors
-
A series of novel N1-amino-acid substituted 2,4,5-triphenyl imidazoline derivatives was designed and synthesized based on our previous studies. All synthesized target compounds were screened for their p53-MDM2 binding inhibitory activities and anti-proliferative activities against five cancer cell lines. Among them, twelve compounds displayed improved binding inhibitory activities and most compounds showed higher cell growth inhibition activities with IC 50 values in the low micromolar range. Compound 6c exhibited marked p53-MDM2 binding inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.59 μM) which was eightfold more potent than that of Nutlin-1 (IC50 = 4.78 μM). CoMFA analysis was performed based on obtained biological data and resulted in a statistically significant CoMFA model with high predict abilities (q 2 = 0.645, r2 = 0.979).

- Synthesis of 4-Methoxysalicylaldehyde via selective monomethylation of 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde
-
4-Methoxysalicylaldehyde, a naturally occurring product, has a range of industrial applications in the preparation of organic compounds, drugs and therapeutic agents. 4-Methoxysalicylaldehyde can be synthesised via selective monomethylation of 2,4-dihydroxybenzaldehyde in toluene in the presence of NaHCO3 in higher yield using cheaper reagents with little production of dimethylation product compared to previous methods. The location of the methoxyl group was confirmed by conversion to 3-acetyl-7-methoxycoumarin by condensation with ethyl acetoacetate.

- Insertion of arynes into the carbon-oxygen double bond of amides and its application into the sequential reactions
-
The reaction of arynes, generated from ortho-(trimethylsilyl)aryl triflates, with the CO bond of formamides gave salicylaldehyde derivatives via the formation of formal [2+2] adducts. The sequential transformation of arynes into ortho-disubstituted arenes, o-aminoalkylphenols or o-hydroxyalkylphenols, was achieved by one-pot procedure using dialkylzincs.

- Enantioselective intramolecular formal [2 + 4] annulation of acrylates and α,β-unsaturated imines catalyzed by amino acid derived phosphines
-
The first chiral phosphine-catalyzed activation of acrylates for intramolecular formal [2 + 4] reactions with unsaturated imines is described. The catalytic reactions afford N-heterocycles with exceptionally high diastereo- and enantioselectivities. The [2 + 4] products are amenable for further transformations to useful molecules such as chiral piperidines and multicyclic structures.

- Metallomesogens derived from benzoxazoles-salicylaldimine conjugates
-
The synthesis, characterization, and mesomorphic properties of a new series of Schiff bases 2a-h and metal complexes 1a-h-M are prepared and their mesomorphic properties studied. Two single crystallographic structures of 2d (n=12, m=1) and 1g-Pd (n=m=12) were determined by X-ray analysis. Both compounds crystallize in a triclinic space group P-1. A dimeric structure formed by intermolecular H-bonds in 2d was observed, giving nematic phase due to a better aspect ratio. The central geometry at Pd2+ ion is nearly perfect square plane. All Schiff bases 2a-h formed N or/and SmC phases. The formation of mesophases of complexes 1a-h-M was strongly dependent on metal ions incorporated. All Cu2+, Ni2+ and Pd2+ complexes exhibited N or/and SmC phase, respectively. However, Zn2+ and Co2+ complexes were not mesogenic. The lack of mesomorphism was probably attributed to a preferred tetrahedral geometry at Zn2+ and Co2+ over a square-planar geometry at Cu2+ and Pd 2+.

- Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of imidazoline derivatives as p53-MDM2 binding inhibitors
-
Three series of novel imidazoline derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their p53-MDM2 binding inhibitory activities, and anti-proliferation activities against PC3, A549, KB, and HCT116 cancer cell lines. Five of the tested compounds showed enhanced p53-MDM2 binding inhibitory potency and anti-proliferation activities in comparison with that of Nutlin-1. Flow cytometric analysis indicated that compound 7c, one of the most potent p53-MDM2 binding inhibitors with a Ki value of 0.6 μM, showed its ability to arrest cell cycle progression.

- Microwave assisted one pot synthesis of 7-substituted 2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)acetic acids as precursors of new anti-tumour compounds
-
Perkin condensation with subsequent intramolecular lactonisation as one pot syntheses of 2-(2-oxo-2H-chromen-3-yl)acetic acids VIIa-Xa has been studied. The required acids VIIa-Xa were prepared as precursors of recently discovered compounds possessing antineoplastic activities. Syntheses of VIIa-Xa were carried out using para substituted 2-hydroxybenzaldehydes II-VI, succinic acid anhydride, sodium succinate under thermal or microwave conditions. Significant shortening of the reaction time under microwave irradiation was observed (18-50 min instead of 1.5-5 h of heating). Microwave assisted reactions proceeded more smoothly to give higher yield of the required products VIIa-Xa (31-61 %) compared to those under classical thermal conditions e.g. 21.8 % for IXa (Hurenkamp et al., 2007). Seven reaction by-products were isolated and determined as 2H,2′H-3,3′-bichromene-2,2′-diones VIIb-Xb and (E)-3-(2-hydroxystyryl)-2H-chromen-2-ones VIIc-IXc.

- The development of benzimidazoles as selective rho kinase inhibitors
-
Rho Kinase (ROCK) is a serine/threonine kinase whose inhibition could prove beneficial in numerous therapeutic areas. We have developed a promising class of ATP-competitive inhibitors based upon a benzimidazole scaffold, which show excellent potency toward ROCK (IC50 10 nM). This report details the optimization of selectivity for ROCK over other related kinases such as Protein kinase A (PKA).

- A facile demethylation of ortho substituted aryl methyl ethers promoted by AlCl3
-
An efficient and practical demethylation of ortho substituted aryl methyl ethers using AlCl3 has been developed. This method gives a high conversion, is simple to operate and is cost-effective. A mechanism involving the complexation of AlCl3 with the OMe and the adjacent electron withdrawing group is proposed. Many functional groups can be tolerated in the demethylation process, and 29 examples gave a demethylated product in a yield of 90-98%.

- Phthalides by rhodium-catalyzed ketone hydroacylation
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Phthalides are biologically relevant five-membered lactones found in herbs, fruits, and vegetables. Herein we communicate the first atom-economical approach to phthalides by using enantioselective ketone hydroacylation. In the presence of Rh[(Duanphos)]X (X = NO3, OTf, OMs), various 2-ketobenzaldehydes undergo intramolecular hydroacylation to produce phthalide products in good yields and 92-98% ee's. Our study highlights the key role counterions play in controlling both reactivity and enantioselectivity. A concise asymmetric total synthesis of the celery extract (S)-(-)-3-n-butylphthalide is also presented.

- Convenient synthetic route to a dehydrorotenoid via selective intramolecular aldol condensation of 1,2-diaryl diketone
-
Synthesis of dehydrorotenoid (1) was successfully achieved via an intramolecular aldol reaction of the corresponding 1,2-diaryl diketone intermediate. The 1,2-diaryl diketone was prepared using a ruthenium-catalyzed oxidation of the corresponding substituted diaryl acetylene. Treatment of this 1,2-diketone with l-proline induced a selective intramolecular aldol condensation reaction, forming the desired benzopyranone over the alternative benzofuran. Deprotection, cyclization, and dehydration gave the target compound in good overall yield.

- Domino reaction of 3-(2-formylphenoxy)propenoates and amines: A novel synthesis of 1,4-dihydropyridines from salicaldehydes, ethyl propiolate, and amines
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A novel synthesis of Hantzsch-type N-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines from salicaldehydes, ethyl propiolate, and amines has been developed. Salicaldehydes were treated with ethyl propiolate in the presence of N-methyimorpholine to give ethyl 3-(2-formylphenoxy)propenoates. Three equivalents of ethyl 3-(2-formylphenoxy)propenoates reacted with 1 equiv of amines under trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) catalyst to furnish the corresponding N-substituted 1,4-dihydropyridines in good to excellent yields, recovering the starting material salicaldehydes. A possible mechanism for the domino process was proposed. Furthermore, the products can be easily derived via further transformations and three of them exhibited strong fluorescence (Φf = 0.36-0.63).

- Nucleophilic acylation of o-quinone methides: An umpolung strategy for the synthesis of α-aryl ketones and benzofurans
-
The synthesis of α-aryl ketones is accomplished by the direct nucleophilic acylation of o-quinone methide electrophiles. In this process, two reactive intermediates, carbonyl anions and o-quinone methides, are generated in one flask upon treatment of the corresponding thiazolium carbinols and silyl protected phenols with a soluble fluoride source. These intermediates then undergo productive addition reactions to afford the desired α-aryl ketone adducts. This new strategy has been applied to a short synthesis of the natural product demethylmoracin I. Copyright

The aromatic hydroxyaldehydes 3a-3g, 5a-Sf, 8, 10 can be prepared by the action of BCl3, BBr3 or trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, on the aryl formates 1a-1f, 4a-e, 7, 9 via Fries rearrangement. BBr3 is more effective than BCl3. The activating ability of BBr3 can be improved by addition of FeCl3. Rearrangements which are induced by trifluoromethanesulfonic acid can give rise to the formations of regioisomers, which might be different from the products formed when the reaction is performed with Lewis acids. The yields of the aldehydes are lowered by subsequent condensation reactions. This view was confirmed by the isolation of a condensation product, which was characterized as a dibenzo[a,j]xanthene derivative 6 by crystal structure analysis. For the Fries rearrangement of formyl groups a new mechanism is proposed. 2-Hydroxy-1-naphthaldehyde 5c can be obtained in good yield from formic acid, BBr3, and 2-naphthol.
