We found previously that nitroxide radical of desferrioxamine (DFO?) could be produced from the interaction between the classic iron chelating agent desferrioxamine (DFO, an N-alkyl trihydroxamic acid) and tetrachlorohydroquinone (TCHQ), one of the carconogenic quinoind metabolites of the widely used wood preservative pentachlorophenol. However, the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear. Here N-methylacetohydroxamic acid (N-MeAHA) was synthesized and used as a simple model compound of DFO for further mechanistic study. As expected, direct ESR studies showed that nitroxide radical of N-MeAHA (Ac-(CH3)NO?) can be produced from N-MeAHA/TCHQ. Interestingly and unexpectedly, when TCHQ was substituted by its oxidation product tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (TCBQ), although Ac-(CH3)NO? could also be produced, no concurrent formation of tetrachlorosemiquinone radical (TCSQ?) and TCHQ was detected, suggesting that Ac-(CH3)NO? did not result from direct oxidation of N-MeAHA by TCSQ? or TCBQ as proposed previously. To our surprise, a new nitrogen-centered amidyl radical was found to be generated from N-MeAHA/TCBQ, which was observed by ESR with the spin-trapping agents and further unequivacally identified as Ac-(CH3)N? by HPLC-MS. The final product of amidyl radical was isolated and identified as its corresponding amine. Analogous radical homolysis mechanism was observed with other halogenated quinoid compounds and N-alkyl hydroxamic acids including DFO. Interestingly, amidyl radicals were found to induce both DNA strand breaks and DNA adduct formation, suggesting that N-alkyl hydroxamic acids may exert their potential side-toxic effects via forming the reactive amidyl radical species. This study represents the first report of an unexpected new pathway for nitroxide radical production via hydrogen abstration reaction of a more reactive amidyl radical intermediate during the detoxification of the carcinogenic polyhalogenated quinones by N-alkyl hydroxamic acids, which provides more direct experimental evidence to better explain not only our previous finding that excess DFO can provide effective but only partial protection against TCHQ (or TCBQ)-induced biological damage, and also the potential side-toxic effects induced by DFO and other N-alkyl hydroxamic acid drugs.

The late-stage functionalization of N-unprotected indoles can be useful for modifying low-molecular-weight drugs and bioactive peptides. Whereas indole carboxamides are valuable in pharmaceutical applications, the preparation N-(indol-2-yl)amides with similar structures continues to be challenging. Herein we report on visible-light-induced late-stage photoredox C-H amidation with N-unprotected indoles and tryptophan-containing peptides, leading to the formation of N-(indol-2-yl)amide derivatives. N-Unprotected indoles and aryloxyamides that contain an electron-withdrawing group could be coupled directly to eosin Y as the photocatalyst by irradiation with a green light-emitting diode at room temperature. Mechanistic studies and density functional theory calculations indicate that the transformation might proceed through the oxidative C-H functionalization of indole with a PS? to PS?- cycle. This protocol provides a new toolkit for the late-stage modification labeling and peptide-drug conjugation of N-unprotected indole derivatives.
Base-promoted aromatic [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of N-acyl-O-arylhydroxylamine derivatives

The base-promoted aromatic [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement of N-acyl-O-arylhydroxylamines giving α-(2-hydroxyphenyl)amides was successfully demonstrated. The substrates were prepared from N-substituted hydroxylamines by N-acylation followed by copper(I)-mediated O-arylation with boronic acids. Treatment of the substrates with lithium hexamethyldisilazide (LiHMDS) in THF at 0 °C to room temperature generated the corresponding amide enolates. The aromatic [3,3] rearrangement of the enolates provided the desired products in moderate to good yields. A crossover experiment produced only intramolecular products and clarified that the reaction proceeds via the aromatic [3,3] sigmatropic rearrangement, not a bond-cleavage–recombination process. Our method is a formal α-arylation of amides.
