Chemoselective transformations are a cornerstone of efficient organic synthesis; however, achieving this goal for even simple transformations, such as acylation reactions, is often a challenge. We report that N-carbonylimidazoles enable catalytic chemodivergent aniline or alcohol acylation in the presence of pyridinium ions or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU), respectively. Both acylation reactions display high and broad chemoselectivity for the target group. Unprecedented levels of chemoselectivity were observed in the DBU-catalyzed esterification: A single esterification product was obtained from a molecule containing primary aniline, alcohol, phenol, secondary amide, and N?H indole groups. These acylation reactions are highly practical as they involve only readily available, inexpensive, and relatively safe reagents; can be performed on a multigram scale; and can be used on carboxylic acids directly by in situ formation of the acylimidazole electrophile.

Oxidative stress is implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of neurodegenerative disorders, and accordingly, dietary supplement of exogenous antioxidants or/and upregulation of the endogenous antioxidant defense system are promising for therapeutic intervention or chemoprevention of neurodegenerative diseases. Nrf2, a master regulator of the cellular antioxidant machinery, cardinally participates in the transcription of cytoprotective genes against oxidative/electrophilic stresses. Herein, we report the synthesis of 59 structurally diverse dithiolethiones and evaluation of their neuroprotection against 6-hydroxydopamine-or H2O2-induced oxidative damages in PC12 cells, a neuron-like rat pheochromocytoma cell line. Initial screening identified compounds 10 and 11 having low cytotoxicity but conferring remarkable protection on PC12 cells from oxidative-mediated damages. Further studies demonstrated that both compounds upregulated a battery of antioxidant genes as well as corresponding genes' products. Significantly, silence of Nrf2 expression abolishes cytoprotection of 10 and 11, indicating targeting Nrf2 activation is pivotal for their cellular functions. Taken together, the two lead compounds discovered here with potent neuroprotective functions against oxidative stress via Nrf2 activation merit further development as therapeutic or chemopreventive candidates for neurodegenerative disorders.

We report here the stereoselective bioreduction of α-nitro ketones catalyzed by ketoreductases (KREDs) with publicly known sequences. YGL039w and RasADH/SyADH were able to reduce 23 class I substrates (1-aryl-2-nitro-1-ethanone (1)) and ten class II substrates (1-aryloxy-3-nitro-2-propanone (4)) to furnish both enantiomers of the corresponding β-nitro alcohols, with good-to-excellent conversions (up to >99%) and enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee) being achieved in most cases. To the best of our knowledge, KRED-mediated reduction of class II α-nitro ketones (1-aryloxy-3-nitro-2-propanone (4)) is unprecedented. Select β-nitro alcohols, including the synthetic intermediates of bioactive molecules (R)-tembamide, (S)-tembamide, (S)-moprolol, (S)-toliprolol and (S)-propanolol, were stereoselectively synthesized in preparative scale with 42% to 90% isolated yields, showcasing the practical potential of our developed system in organic synthesis. Finally, the advantage of using KREDs with known sequence was demonstrated by whole-cell catalysis, in which β-nitro alcohol (R)-2k, the key synthetic intermediate of hypoglycemic natural product (R)-tembamide, was produced in a space-time yield of 178 g L?1 d?1 as well as 95% ee by employing the whole cells of a recombinant E. coli strain coexpressing RasADH and glucose dehydrogenase as the biocatalyst.

A convenient and efficient strategy for the synthesis of 2-acyl benzothiazoles/thiazoles has been developed. The treatment of benzothiazole/thiazole with allylic Grignard reagents readily generates the corresponding 2-Grignard reagents, which is followed by a reaction with N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole activated carboxylic acids to afford various 2-acyl benzothiazoles/thiazoles products. The synthetic method is applicable to a wide array of carboxylic acids and allows easy access to 2-acyl benzothiazoles/thiazoles with considerable yields under mild reaction conditions.

Current study is based on the biology-oriented drug synthesis (BIODS) of 2-(2-methyl-5-nitro-1H-imidazol-1-yl)ethyl aryl carboxylate derivatives 1–26, by treating metronidazole with different aryl and hetero-aryl carboxylic acids in the presence of 1,1'-carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) as a coupling agent. Structures of all synthetic derivatives were confirmed with the help of various spectroscopic techniques such as EI-MS,1H -NMR and13C NMR. CHN elemental analyses were also found in agreement with the calculated values. Synthetic derivatives were evaluated to check their β-glucuronidase inhibitory activity which revealed that except few derivatives, all demonstrated good inhibition in the range of IC50= 1.20 ± 0.01–60.30 ± 1.40 μM as compared to the standard D-saccharic acid 1,4-lactone (IC50= 48.38 ± 1.05 μM). Compounds 1, 3, 4, 6, 9–19, and 21–24 were found to be potent analogs and showed superior activity than standard. Limited structure-activity relationship is suggested that the molecules having electron withdrawing groups like NO2, F, Cl, and Br, were displayed better activity than the compounds with electron donating groups such as Me, OMe and BuO. To verify these interpretations, in silico study was also performed, a good correlation was observed between bioactivities and docking studies.

Acyl / sulfonyl hydrazines were synthesized in a one-pot reaction from carboxylic acid/aryl sulfonic acid in the presence of 1,1′-carbonyl diimidazole (CDI) under ultrasound as well as under conventional heating. The reaction was performed on diverse organic molecules including simple benzoic acid (1), electron-donating and electron-withdrawing substituted benzoic acids, biologically active compounds like coumarin-3-carboxylic acid (12), 7-hydroxycoumarin-4-acetic acid (13), and therapeutic drugs like ibuprofen (14), flurbiprofen (15), naproxen (16) or tricyclic adamantane carboxylic acid (17). Benzene sulfonic acid (18) and its derivatives (19, 20, 21 and 22) were used to prepare corresponding sulfonyl hydrazide. All products were synthesized in very good yield via ultrasonic irradiation method and characterized by spectroscopic techniques including EIMS, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR. The method was found very simple, facile, efficient and high yielding (>90).

The traditional McFadyen-Stevens reaction requires harsh alkaline reaction conditions, thus precluding application to the synthesis of aliphatic aldehydes. Our modified McFadyen-Stevens reaction enables the transformation from the N,N-acylsulfonyl hydrazine to the corresponding aldehyde upon treatment with an imidazole-TMS imidazole combination without relying on oxidative or reductive reagents. The reduced basicity and in situ protection of the resulting aldehyde widens the substrate scope to include aliphatic aldehydes, even ones bearing an α-hydrogen atom. Close examination of the side reactions for particular substrates in combination with theoretical considerations via DFT calculations led to a mechanistic understanding of the McFadyen-Stevens reaction involving an acyl diazene and a hydroxy carbene as reasonable intermediates.

A series of novel 5-substituted 1H-tetrazoles as cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitors was prepared via treatment of various diaryl amides with tetrachlorosilane/sodium azide. All compounds were tested in cyclooxygenase (COX) assays in vitro to determine COX-1 and COX-2 inhibitory potency and selectivity. Tetrazoles contained a methylsulfonyl or sulfonamide group as COX-2 pharmacophore displayed only low inhibitory potency towards COX-2. Most potent compounds showed IC50 values of 6 and 7 μM for COX-2. All compounds showed IC50 values greater 100 μM for COX-1 inhibition.
