The present study describes the synthesis of a series of original 8-Br-quinoline derivatives with an arylethynyl moiety at the C6 position, based on Friedl?nder and Sonogashira coupling key reactions. Investigation of their photophysical and two-photon absorption (2PA) properties reveals that these structures can lead to 2PA chromophores combining fluorescence and singlet oxygen generation properties. As a result, chromophores, which combine significant 2PA responses in the NIR region, good photosensitization ability (ΦΔ=0.4-0.6) and fluorescence properties (Φf=0.2-0.6) have been identified. These multifunctional derivatives hold promise as original dyes for combined two-photon imaging and photodynamic therapy.

Quinoline derivatives are important natural products and pharmaceuticals, but their synthesis can be challenging due to poor yields, harsh reaction conditions, and instability of starting materials. Here we report the chemoenzymatic synthesis of quinaldic acids under mild conditions using an aldolase, trans-o-hydroxybenzylidenepyruvate hydratase-aldolase (NahE, or HBPA). A series of 2-aminobenzaldehydes derived from reduction of the corresponding nitro analogue were reacted with pyruvate in the presence of NahE to give substituted quinolines in up to 93% isolated yield. This reaction differs from the aldol condensation catalyzed by NahE in vivo, instead resembling the heterocycle formation catalyzed by its homologue, dihydrodipicolinate synthase.

The oxidation of alcohols to aldehydes or ketones is a highly relevant conversion for the pharmaceutical and fine-chemical industries, and for biomass conversion, and is commonly performed using stoichiometric amounts of highly hazardous oxidants. The aerobic oxidation of alcohols with transition metal complex catalysts previously required complicated organic ligands and/or nitroxyl radicals as co-catalysts. Herein, we report an efficient and eco-friendly method to promote the aerobic oxidation of alcohols using an inorganic-ligand supported copper catalyst 1, (NH4)4[CuMo6O18(OH)6], with O2 (1 atm) as the sole oxidant. Catalyst 1 is synthesized directly from cheap and commonly available (NH4)6Mo7O24·4H2O and CuSO4, which consists of a pure inorganic framework built from a central CuII core supported by six MoVIO6 inorganic scaffolds. The copper catalyst 1 exhibits excellent selectivity and activity towards a wide range of substrates in the catalytic oxidation of alcohols, and can avoid the use of toxic oxidants, nitroxyl radicals, and potentially air/moisture sensitive and complicated organic ligands that are not commercially available. Owing to its robust inorganic framework, catalyst 1 shows good stability and reusability, and the catalytic oxidation of alcohols with catalyst 1 could be readily scaled up to gram scale with little loss of catalytic activity, demonstrating great potential of the inorganic-ligand supported Cu catalysts in catalytic chemical transformations.
