- Imidazolium Based Fluorous N-Heterocyclic Carbenes as Effective and Recyclable Organocatalysts for Redox Esterification
-
A series of new highly fluorophilic ionic liquids (f > 110) was synthetized from 3-iodopropyltris(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-tridecafluorooctyl)silane and N-alkyl imidazoles, followed by anion exchange. N-heterocyclic carbenes generated in situ from obtained imidazolium salts were employed to catalyze redox esterification (umpolung) of cinnamaldehyde with alcohols. The most effective N-methyl derivative with iodide as a counter anion was studied in detail with respect to the optimization of reaction conditions, substrate scope and recyclability. Recovery of the precatalyst was achieved using either fluorous extraction or performing the reaction in suitable fluorous biphase system with direct recycling of the fluorinated precatalyst phase. For both tested options, the catalytic activity did not significantly decrease within 5 subsequent cycles. The redox esterification was shown to proceed also in supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) as an alternative solvent where the activity of the fluorinated catalyst was also superior to the nonfluorinated model, while retaining the benefit of easy recycling.

- Synthesis of cinnamic acid derivatives and leishmanicidal activity against Leishmania braziliensis
-
Leishmania braziliensis is one of the pathogenic agents of cutaneous and mucocutanoeous leishmaniasis. There are no validated vaccines to prevent the infection and the treatment relies on drugs that often present severe side effects, which justify the efforts to find new potential antileishmanial drugs. An alternative to promote the discovery of new drugs would be the association of different chemical groups of bioactive compounds. Here we describe the synthesis and bioactivity evaluation against L. braziliensis of cinnamic acid derivatives possessing isobenzofuranone and 1,2,3-triazole functionalities. We tested 25 compounds at 10 μM concentration against extracellular promastigotes and intracellular amastigotes during macrophage infection. Most compounds were more active against amastigotes than to promastigotes. The derivatives (E)-3-oxo-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-5-yl-(3,4,5-trimethoxy) cinnamate (5c), (1-(3,4-difluorobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl cinnamate (9g), and (1-(2-bromobenzyl)-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)methyl cinnamate (9l) were the most effective presenting over 80% toxicity on L. braziliensis amastigotes. While compound 5c is a cinnamate with an isobenzofuranone portion, 9g and 9l are triazolic cinnamic acid derivatives. The action of these compounds was comparable to amphotericin B used as positive control. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that 5c-treated parasites showed impaired cytokinesis and apoptosis triggering. Taken together, these results highlight the potential of cinnamic acid derivatives in development of novel anti-leishmanial drugs.

- Neighboring Carbonyl Group Assisted Oxyacetoxylation of Propargylic Carboxylates with Retention of Chirality under Metal Free Condition
-
A metal-free oxyacetoxylation method of primary, secondary and tertiary propargylic carboxylates with retention of chirality was presented. The reaction proceeds through the intramolecular nucleophilic attack of the neighboring carbonyl group on an alkynyliodonium intermediate. The process is general with broad substrate scope and is amenable for application to a variety of propargyl carboxylates including those obtained from natural products. Insight into the mechanistic pathway by isotopic labelling (using H2O18 and D2O) and controlled experiments confirmed. (Figure presented.).

- Synthesis and antimetastatic activity evaluation of cinnamic acid derivatives containing 1,2,3-triazolic portions
-
It is herein described the preparation and evaluation of antimetastatic activity of twenty-six cinnamic acid derivatives containing 1,2,3-triazolic portions. The compounds were prepared using as the key step the Copper(I)-catalyzed azide (A)-alkyne (A) cycloaddition (C) (CuAAC reaction), also known as click reaction, between alkynylated cinnamic acid derivatives and different benzyl azides. The reactions were carried in CH2Cl2/H2O (1:1 v/v) at room temperature, and the triazole derivatives were obtained in yields ranging from 73%–99%. Reaction times varied from 5 to 40 min. The identity of the synthesized compounds was confirmed by IR and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopic techniques. They were then submitted to in vitro bioassays to investigate how they act over metastatic behavior of murine melanoma. The most potent compound, namely 3-(1-benzyl-1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)propyl cinnamate (9a), showed significant antimetastatic and antiproliferative activities against B16-F10 cells. In addition, gelatin zymography and molecular docking analyses pointed to the fact that this compound has potential to interact with matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP-9) and MMP-2, which are directly involved in melanoma progression. Therefore, these findings suggest that cinnamic acid derivatives containing 1,2,3-triazolic portions may have potential for development of novel candidates for controlling malignant metastatic melanoma.

- Nucleophilic carbene-catalyzed redox-esterification reaction of α-halo-α,β-unsaturated aldehyde
-
A nucleophilic carbene catalyzed redox esterification between α-halo-α,β-unsaturated aldehydes and various alcohols has been developed. Interestingly, the reaction provided α,β-unsaturated esters instead of the saturated α-halo substituted esters as the only product in good to high yield with excellent trans-selectivity, presumably via the umpolung-halo-elimination pathway.

- N-heterocyclic carbene-mediated oxidative esterification of aldehydes: Ester formation and mechanistic studies
-
An unexpected N-heterocyclic carbene-catalyzed esterification of α,β-unsaturated aldehydes including aromatic aldehydes with reactive cinnamyl bromides in the presence of air oxygen or MnO2 as an oxidant is described. In the presence of oxygen, halogenated and electron-deficient aldehydes react smoothly to furnish esters in good yields. Great efforts have been made on mechanistic studies to deduce a plausible mechanism, based on the experimental results and isotopic labeling experiment.

- Protic acid immobilized on solid support as an extremely efficient recyclable catalyst system for a direct and atom economical esterification of carboxylic acids with alcohols
-
(Chemical Equation Presented) A convenient and clean procedure of esterification is reported by direct condensation of equimolar amounts of carboxylic acids with alcohols catalyzed by an easy to prepare catalyst system of perchloric acid immobilized on silica gel (HClO4-SiO2). The direct condensation of aryl, heteroaryl, styryl, aryl alkyl, alkyl, cycloalkyl, and long-chain aliphatic carboxylic acids with primary/secondary alkyl/cycloalkyl, allyl, propargyl, and long-chain aliphatic alcohols has been achieved to afford the corresponding esters in excellent yields. Chiral alcohol and N-t-Boc protected chiral amino acid also resulted in ester formation with the representative carboxylic acid or alcohol without competitive N-t-Boc deprotection and detrimental effect on the optical purity of the product demonstrating the mildness and chemoselectivity of the procedure. The esters of long-chain (>C10) acids and alcohols are obtained in high yields. The catalyst is recovered and recycled without significant loss of activity. The industrial application of the esterification process is demonstrated by the synthesis of prodrugs of ibuprofen and a few commercial flavoring agents. Other protic acids such as H2SO4, HBr, TfOH, HBF4, and TFA that were adsorbed on silica gel were less effective compared to HClO4-SiO2 following the order HClO4-SiO 2 ? H2SO4-SiO2 > HBr-SiO 2 > TfOH-SiO2 ? HBF4-SiO2 ≈ TFA-SiO2. When HClO4 was immobilized on other solid supports the catalytic efficiency followed the order HClO4-SiO 2 > HClO4-K10 > HClO4-Al 2O3 (neutral) > HClO4-Al2O 3 (acidic) > HClO4-Al2O3 (basic).
