While progress has been made in treating cancer, cytotoxic chemotherapeutic agents are still the most widely used drugs and are associated with severe side-effects. Drugs that target unique molecular signalling pathways are needed for treating cancer with low or no intrinsic toxicity to normal cells. Our goal is to target hypoxic tumours and specifically the hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) pathway for the development of new cancer therapies. To this end, we have previously developed benzopyran-based HIF-1 inhibitors such as arylsulfonamide KCN1. However, KCN1 and its earlier analogs have poor water solubility, which hamper their applications. Herein, we describe a series of KCN1 analogs that incorporate a morpholine moiety at various positions. We found that replacing the benzopyran group of KCN1 with a phenyl group with a morpholinomethyl moiety at the para positions had minimal effect on potency and improved the water solubility of two new compounds by more than 10-fold compared to KCN1, the lead compound.

The advent of transfer hydrogenation and borrowing hydrogen reactions paved the way to manipulate simple alcohols in previously unthinkable manners and circumvented the need for hydrogen gas. Analogously, transfer hydrocarbylation could greatly increase the versatility of tertiary alcohols. However, this reaction remains unexplored because of the challenges associated with the catalytic cleavage of unactivated C–C bonds. Herein, we report a rhodium(I)-catalyzed shuttle arylation cleaving the C(sp2)–C(sp3) bond in unstrained triaryl alcohols via a redox-neutral β-carbon elimination mechanism. A selective transfer hydrocarbylation of substituted (hetero)aryl groups from tertiary alcohols to ketones was realized, employing benign alcohols as latent C-nucleophiles. All preliminary mechanistic experiments support a reversible β-carbon elimination/migratory insertion mechanism. In a broader context, this novel reactivity offers a new platform for the manipulation of tertiary alcohols in catalysis.
Thiourea-Catalyzed C?F Bond Activation: Amination of Benzylic Fluorides

, p. 10620 - 10625 (2020/07/24)
We describe the first thiourea-catalyzed C?F bond activation. The use of a thiourea catalyst and Ti(OiPr)4 as a fluoride scavenger allows the amination of benzylic fluorides to proceed in moderate to excellent yields. Preliminary results with S- and O-based nucleophiles are also presented. DFT calculations reveal the importance of hydrogen bonds between the catalyst and the fluorine atom of the substrate to lower the activation energy during the transition state.

BrCCl3 represents a rarely used benzylic brominating reagent with complementary reactivity to other reagents. Its reactivity has been revisited in continuous flow, revealing compatibility with electron-rich aromatic substrates. This has brought about the development of a p-methoxybenzyl bromide generator for PMB protection, which was successfully demonstrated on a pharmaceutically relevant intermediate on 11 g scale, giving 91% yield and a PMB-Br space-time-yield of 1.27 kg L?1 h?1
Mitsunobu Reaction Using Basic Amines as Pronucleophiles
Huang, Hai,Kang, Jun Yong
, p. 6604 - 6614 (2017/07/15)
A novel protocol for extending the scope of the Mitsunobu reaction to include amine nucleophiles to form C-N bonds through the utilization of N-heterocyclic phosphine-butane (NHP-butane) has been developed. Both aliphatic alcohols and benzyl alcohols are suitable substrates for C-N bond construction. Various acidic nucleophiles such as benzoic acids, phenols, thiophenol, and secondary sulfonamide also provide the desired products of esters, ethers, thioether, and tertiary sulfonamide with 43-93% yields. Importantly, C-N bond-containing pharmaceuticals, Piribedil and Cinnarizine, have been synthesized in one step from the commercial amines under this Mitsunobu reaction system.

The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) family is one of the most frequently activated enzymes in a wide range of human cancers; thus, inhibition of PI3K represents a promising strategy for cancer therapy. Herein, a series of benzylamine substituted arylsulfonamides were designed and synthesized as dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitors using a strategy integrating focused library design and virtual screening, resulting in the discovery of 13b (NSC765844). The compound 13b exhibits highly potent enzyme inhibition with IC50s of 1.3, 1.8, 1.5, 3.8 and 3.8?nM for PI3Kα, β, γ, δ, and mTOR, respectively. 13b was further evaluated in NCI by an in?vitro cytotoxic screening program. Broad-spectrum antitumor activities with mean GI50value of 18.6?nM against approximately 60 human tumor cell lines were found. 13b displayed favorable physicochemical properties and superior pharmacokinetic profiles for animal studies. It significantly inhibited tumor growth when administered orally in an A549 non-small-cell lung carcinoma xenograft and BEL7404 human hepatocellular carcinoma xenograft models. On the basis of its excellent in?vivo efficacy and superior pharmacokinetic profiles, 13b has been selected for further preclinical investigation as a promising anticancer drug candidate.

Enabling nucleophilic substitution reactions of activated alkyl fluorides through hydrogen bonding
Champagne, Pier Alexandre,Pomarole, Julien,Therien, Marie-Eve,Benhassine, Yasmine,Beaulieu, Samuel,Legault, Claude Y.,Paquin, Jean-Francois
, p. 2210 - 2213 (2013/06/26)
It was discovered that the presence of water as a cosolvent enables the reaction of activated alkyl fluorides for bimolecular nucleophilic substitution reactions. DFT calculations show that activation proceeds through stabilization of the transition structure by a stronger F···H 2O interaction and diminishing C-F bond elongation, and not simple transition state electrostatic stabilization. Overall, the findings put forward a distinct strategy for C-F bond activation through H-bonding.
