In this article, we have disclosed three inexpensive and novel copper-catalyzed C(sp2)–C(sp2) coupling reactions of substituted aryl/heteroaryl halides with arylboronic acids by employing water extract of pomegranate ash (WEPA) as biorenewable base and aqueous reaction medium. CuI/WEPA, CuI/WEPA/DABCO, CuI/WEPA/SPhos catalytic systems were developed for the present Suzuki-Miyaura coupling. WEPA has been found to be the effective base and reaction medium for copper-catalysed Suzuki-Miyaura reactions with and without ligands to provide good to high yields of coupling products. This method has remarkable advantages like inexpensive and waste-derived biorenewable base, low catalyst loading, moderate temperature, replacement of precious palladium with abundant copper, no or negligible contamination of copper in products, low E-factor, high chemoselectivity and a large substrate scope.

Naphthyridine-fused bisimidazolium salts were designed and synthesized for the first time. The study of the Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes demonstrated that the deprotonated dicarbene ligands are rigid chelating C,C-ligands with strong electron-donating ability in analogy with the classic phenanthroline N,N-ligands.

Novel insecticidal targets are always in demand due to the development of resistance. OfHex1, a β-N-acetyl-d-hexosaminidase identified in Ostrinia furnacalis (Asian corn borer), is involved in insect chitin catabolism and has proven an ideal target for insecticide development. In this study, structure-based virtual screening, structure simplification, and biological evaluation are used to show that compounds with a biphenyl-sulfonamide skeleton have great potential as OfHex1 inhibitors. Specifically, compounds 10k, 10u, and 10v have Ki values of 4.30, 3.72, and 4.56 μM, respectively, and thus, they are more potent than some reported nonglycosyl-based inhibitors such as phlegmacin B1 (Ki = 26 μM), berberine (Ki = 12 μM), 2 (Ki = 11.2 μM), and 3 (Ki = 28.9 μM). Furthermore, inhibitory kinetic assessments reveal that the target compounds are competitive inhibitors with respect substrate, and based on toxicity predictions, most of them have potent drug properties. The obtained results indicate that the biphenyl-sulfonamide skeleton characterized by simple chemical structure, synthetic tractability, potent activity, and low toxicity has potential for further development in pest management targeting OfHex1.
