A practical and general iron-catalyzed domino decarboxylation-oxidation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids enabling aldehyde C-H methylation for the synthesis of methyl ketones has been developed. This mild, operationally simple method uses ambient air as the sole oxidant and tolerates sensitive functional groups for the late-stage functionalization of complex natural-product-derived and polyfunctionalized molecules.

The number of deaths or critical health issues is a threat in the infection caused by Dengue virus, which complicates the situation, as only symptomatic treatment is the current solution. In this regard we have targeted the dengue protease NS2B-NS3 that is responsible for the replication. The series was designed with the help of molecular modeling approach using docking protocols. The series comprised of different scaffolds viz. cinnamic acid analogs (CA1–CA11), chalcone (C1–C10) and their molecular hybrids (Lik1–Lik10), analogs of benzimidazole (BZ1-BZ5), mercaptobenzimidazole (BS1-BS4), and phenylsulfanylmethylbenzimidazole (PS1-PS4). Virtual screening of various natural phytoconstituents was employed to determine the interactions of designed analogs with the residues of catalytic triad in the active site of NS2B-NS3. We have further synthesized the selected leads. The synthesized analogs were evaluated for the cytotoxicity and NS2B-NS3 protease inhibition activity and compared with known anti-dengue natural phytoconstituent quercetin as the standard. CA2, BZ1, and BS2 were found to be more potent and efficacious than the standard quercetin as evident from the protease inhibition assay.

An efficient, catalyst/photocatalyst-free, and cost-effective methodology for the decarboxylative alkylation of α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids to synthesize β,γ-unsaturated nitriles has been developed. The reaction proceeded in an environmentally benign atmosphere of blue light-emitting diode irradiation with K2CO3 and water at room temperature. The methodology worked for a wide range of substrates (22 examples) with up to 83% yield. The protocol is also compatible for gram-scale synthesis.

Four series of ferulic acid derivatives were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for their neuraminidase (NA) inhibitory activities against influenza virus H1N1 in vitro. The pharmacological results showed that the majority of the target compounds exhibited moderate influenza NA inhibitory activity, which was also better than that of ferulic acid. The two most potent compounds were 1m and 4a with IC50 values of 12.77 ± 0.47 and 12.96 ± 1.34 μg/ml, respectively. On the basis of the biological results, a preliminary structure–activity relationship (SAR) was derived and discussed. Besides, molecular docking was performed to study the possible interactions of compounds 1p, 2d, 3b, and 4a with the active site of NA. It was found that the 4-OH-3-OMe group and the amide group (CON) of ferulic acid amide derivatives were two key pharmacophores for NA inhibitory activity. It is meaningful to further modify the natural product ferulic acid to improve its influenza NA inhibitory activity.

L-(?)-Quebrachitol, a natural product obtained from waste water of the rubber industry, was utilized as an efficient ligand for the copper-catalyzed hydroxylation and amination of aryl halides to selectively give phenols and aryl amines in water or 95percent ethanol. In addition, the hydroxylation of 2-chloro-4-hydroxybenzoic acid was validated on a 100-g scale under air.

Abstract: A series of amides based on (2S)-cyanopyrrolidine and α, β-unsaturated aryl- and hetarylcarboxylic acids have been synthesized. The dependence of the hypoglycemic activity of compounds on the structure of the aromatic fragment has been studied in the oral glucose tolerance test in mice. Amides based on (E)-3-phenylprop-2-enoic and (E)-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-enoic acids and (2S)-cyanopyrrolidine have been shown to significantly reduce blood glucose levels in mice. The observed hypoglycemic effect at a dose of 10 mg/kg is comparable to the effect of hypoglycemic drug vildagliptin.

Abstract: The rate of mutability of pathogenic H1N1 influenza virus is a threat. The emergence of drug resistance to the current competitive inhibitors of neuraminidase, such as oseltamivir and zanamivir, attributes to a need for an alternative approach. The design and synthesis of new analogues with alternate approach are particularly important to identify the potential neuraminidase inhibitors which may not only have better anti-influenza activity but also can withstand challenge of resistance. Five series of scaffolds, namely aurones (1a–1e), pyrimidine analogues (2a–2b), cinnamic acid analogues (3a–3k), chalcones (4a–4h) and cinnamic acid linkages (5a–5c), were designed based on virtual screening against pandemic H1N1 virus. Molecular modelling studies revealed that the designed analogues occupied 430-loop cavity of neuraminidase. Docking of sialic acid in the active site preoccupied with the docked analogues, i.e. in 430-loop cavity, resulted in displacement of sialic acid from its native pose in the catalytic cavity. The favourable analogues were synthesized and evaluated for the cytotoxicity and cytopathic effect inhibition by pandemic H1N1 virus. All the designed analogues resulting in displacement of sialic acid suggested alternate binding mechanism. Overall results indicated that aurones can be measured best among all as potential neuraminidase inhibitor against pandemic H1N1 virus. Graphical abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].

To address the obstacles facing the use of palladium-based homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts in C─C cross-coupling reactions, a novel semi-heterogeneous support was developed based on hyperbranched poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(citric acid)-functionalized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4@PCA-b-PEG). Because of the surface modification of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles with amphiphilic and hyperbranched polymers (PCA-b-PEG), these hybrid materials are not only soluble in a wide range of solvents (e.g. water, ethanol and dimethylformamide) but also are able to trap Pd2+ ions via complex formation of free carboxyl groups of the PCA dendrimer with metal ions. The reduction of trapped palladium ions in the dendritic shell of Fe3O4@PCA-b-PEG leads to immobilized palladium nanoparticles. The morphology and structural features of the catalyst were characterized using various microscopic and spectroscopic techniques. The catalyst was effectively used in the palladium-catalysed Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction in water as a green solvent. In addition, the catalyst can be easily recovered from the reaction mixture by applying an external magnetic field and reused for more than ten consecutive cycles without much loss in activity, exhibiting an example of a sustainable and green methodology.

A traceless organosilicon template-directed meta-selective-C-H alkenylation of phenols was realized with good yields and high selectivities. The template was readily removable through F--promoted O-Si cleavage under extremely mild conditions or recyclable through a p-TSA catalyzed process. The product was successfully applied in the preparation of a series of meta-alkenylated aromatic compounds.
