- Activator free, expeditious and eco-friendly chlorination of activated arenes by N-chloro-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzene sulfonamide (NCBSI)
-
N-Chloro-N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzene sulfonamide (NCBSI) has been explored for the first time as a chlorinating reagent for direct chlorination of various activated arenes and heterocycles without any activator. A comparative in-silico study was performed to determine the electrophilic character for NCBSI and commercially available N-chloro reagents to reveal the reactivity on a theoretical viewpoint. The reagent was prepared by an improved method avoiding the use of hazardous t-butyl hypochlorite. This reagent was proved to be very reactive compared to other N-chloro reagents. The precursor of the reagent N-(phenylsulfonyl)benzene sulfonamide was recovered from aqueous spent, which can be recycled to synthesize NCBSI. The eco-friendly protocol was equally applicable for the synthesis of industrially important chloroxylenol as an antibacterial agent.

- Direct, Regioselective N-Alkylation of 1,3-Azoles
-
Regioselective N-alkylation of 1,3-azoles is a valuable transformation. Organomagnesium reagents were discovered to be competent bases to affect regioselective alkylation of various 1,3-azoles. Counterintuitively, substitution selectively occurred at the more sterically hindered nitrogen atom. Numerous examples are provided, on varying 1,3-azole scaffolds, with yields ranging from 25 to 95%.

- Modulating reactivity and diverting selectivity in palladium-catalyzed heteroaromatic direct arylation through the use of a chloride activating/blocking group
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) Through the introduction of an aryl chloride substituent, the selectivity of palladium-catalyzed direct arylation may be diverted to provide alternative regioisomeric products in high yields. In cases where low reactivity is typically observed, the presence of the carbon-chlorine bond can serve to enhance reactivity and provide superior outcomes. From a strategic perspective, the C-Cl bond is easily introduced and can be employed in a variety of subsequent transformations to provide a wealth of highly functionalized heterocycles with minimal substrate preactivation. The impact of the C-Cl functional group on direct arylation reactivity has also been evaluated mechanistically, and the observed reactivity profiles correlate very well with that predicted by a concerted metalation-deprotonation pathway.

- Rational design of novel immunosuppressive drugs: Analogues of azathioprine lacking the 6-mercaptopurine substituent retain or have enhanced immunosuppressive effects
-
Clinical use of the immunosuppressive drug azathioprine is limited by potentially serious toxic effects related to depression of bone marrow function. The immunosuppressive and toxic properties of azathioprine are regarded as being properties of the cytotoxicity of its metabolite, 6- mercaptopurine (6-MP). However, azathioprine has an immunosuppressive effect additional to that attributable to 6-MP alone, and we propose that this is associated with an action of the methylnitroimidazolyl substituent. This suggests a route to the rational design of nontoxic immunosuppressants by replacing the 6-MP component of azathioprine with nontoxic thiols. We have synthesized and tested in vitro 24 such analogues, with two being further tested in vivo. In the human mixed lymphocyte reaction, virtually all compounds showed some degree of activity, 10 compounds being more active than azathioprine. In vivo, two compounds were more effective than azathioprine at prolonging graft survival in mice. In an oral toxicity study in male CD1 mice at doses equivalent to those at which azathioprine caused severe bone marrow depression both analogues had no toxic effects. Our results show that the immunosuppressive effects and bone marrow toxicity of azathioprine are not a consequence of release of 6-MP alone, and with appropriate modification can be separated, an approach which may lead to less toxic immunosuppressive drugs.
