Better fit, less effort: An easy-to-synthesize ruthenium phthalimide complex (tan-colored carbon atoms in the picture) was designed to bind within the active site of the p21-activated kinase 1 in a novel fashion that differs from that of the previously es

The regioselective cyclometalation of 4-(pyridin-2-yl)phthalimide was exploited for the economical design of organometallic protein kinase inhibitors. 4-(Pyridin-2-yl)phthalimide can be prepared from inexpensive 4-bromophthalimide in just three steps including one Pd-catalyzed Stille cross-coupling. The versatility of this new ligand was demonstrated with the synthesis of ruthenium(ii) half-sandwich as well as octahedral ruthenium(ii) and iridium(iii) complexes. The regioselectivity of the C-H activation in the course of the cyclometalation can be influenced by the reaction conditions and the steric demand of the introduced metal complex fragment. The biological activity of this new class of metalated phthalimides was evaluated by profiling two representative members against a large panel of human protein kinases. A cocrystal structure of one metallo-phthalimide with the protein kinase Pim1 confirmed an ATP-competitive binding with the intended hydrogen bonding between the phthalimide moiety and the hinge region of the ATP-binding site.

(Chemical Equation Presented) The palladium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of o-halobenzoates produces 2-substituted isoindole-1,3-diones in good yields. This methodology provides a good one-step approach to this important class of heterocycles and tolerates a variety of functional groups, including methoxy, alcohol, ketone, and nitro groups.

Sensitive detection of reaction products is a potential use of diradicals as spin-labeled spin-traps. When diradical 1 reacts with NO, the EPR spectrum not only changes from a single broad line to a three-line spectrum, but the apparent intensity of the monoradical products, such as 2, is more than 500 times greater than that of the original diradical.
