Structure-Activity-Relationship-Aided Design and Synthesis of xCT Antiporter Inhibitors

The xCT antiporter is a cell membrane protein involved in active counter-transportation of glutamate (outflux) with cystine (influx) over the human cell membrane. This feature makes the xCT antiporter a crucial element of the biosynthesis of the vital free radical scavenger glutathione. The prodrug sulfasalazine, a medication for the treatment of ulcerative colitis, was previously proven to inhibit the xCT antiporter. Starting from sulfasalazine, a molecular scaffold jumping followed by SAR-assisted design and synthesis provided a series of styryl hydroxy-benzoic acid analogues that were biologically tested in vitro for their ability to decrease intracellular glutathione levels using four different cancer cell lines: A172 (glioma), A375 (melanoma), U87 (glioma) and MCF7 (breast carcinoma). Depletion of glutathione levels varied among the compounds as well as among the cell lines. Flow cytometry using propidium iodide and the annexin V marker demonstrated minimal toxicity in normal human astrocytes for a promising candidate molecule (E)-5-(2-([1,1′-biphenyl]-4-yl)vinyl)-2-hydroxybenzoic acid.

A convenient and efficient H2SO4-promoted regioselective monobromination of phenol derivatives using N-bromosuccinimide

A convenient, rapid H2SO4-promoted regioselective monobromination reaction with N-bromosuccinimide was developed. The desired para-monobrominated or ortho-monobrominated products of phenol derivatives were obtained in good to excellent yields with high selectivity. Regioselective chlorination and iodination were also achieved in the presence of H2SO4 using N-chlorosuccinimide and N-iodosuccinimide, respectively.

Iodine(III)-Mediated, Controlled Di- or Monoiodination of Phenols

An oxidative procedure for the electrophilic iodination of phenols was developed by using iodosylbenzene as a nontoxic iodine(III)-based oxidant and ammonium iodide as a cheap iodine atom source. A totally controlled monoiodination was achieved by buffering the reaction medium with K3PO4. This protocol proceeds with short reaction times, at mild temperatures, in an open flask, and generally with high yields. Gram-scale reactions, as well as the scope of this protocol, were explored with electron-rich and electron-poor phenols as well as heterocycles. Quantum chemistry calculations revealed PhII(OH)·NH3 to be the most plausible iodinating active species as a reactive "I+" synthon. In light of the relevance of the iodoarene moiety, we present herein a practical, efficient, and simple procedure with a broad functional group scope that allows access to the iodoarene core unit.

Mono-selective β-C-H arylation of: N -methylated amino acids and peptides promoted by the 2-(methylthio)aniline directing group

2-(Methylthio)aniline (MTA) directed C(sp3)-H functionalisations are efficient and straightforward protocols for the selective β-modification of N-methylated amino acids. The decreased reactivity of MTA in comparison with the 8-aminoquinoline (AQ) directing group allows for selective monoarylations in high yields without the formation of side products. The protocol is also suitable for the introduction of highly functionalised side chains onto the C-terminal alanines of dipeptides. The MTA directing group can easily be removed, providing free carboxylic acids as valuable building blocks.

Ultrasonically assisted halogenation of aromatic compounds using isoquinolinium bound hypervalent chromium and tetrabutylammonium halides in PEG-600 solutions under acid free and solvent-free conditions

Isoquinolinium bound Cr(VI) reagents like isoquinolinium dichromate (IQDC) and isoquinolinium chlorochromate (IQCC) have been successfully accomplished as efficient reagents for oxidative halogenation of aromatic compounds using tetrabutylammonium halide (TBAX) as halogenating agents in aqueous polyethylene glycol (PEG-600) under acid free conditions. Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) has been used for bromination and tetrabutylammonium iodide (TBAI) for iodination. The halogenation reactions that occurred smoothly in 2 to 7 h under conventional conditions are accelerated magnificently under sonication with few minutes (25 to 70 min) of reaction time and fairly good yields. The reactions occurred at moderate temperature under mild and environmentally safe conditions with simple work up.

A green catalytic method for selective synthesis of iodophenols via aerobic oxyiodination under organic solvent-free conditions

A highly efficient catalytic method for aerobic oxyiodination of various phenols catalysed by copper(II) nitrate was achieved under mild conditions using I2as an iodinating reagent, molecular oxygen as an oxidant, and water as a solvent. The catalyst shows not only high activity for phenols with either electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups, but also a remarkable selectivity for the formation of para-iodo substituted phenols. This study offers a green method for iodination of aromatic phenols with high atom economy.

Dual selectivity: Electrophile and nucleophile selective cross-coupling reactions on a single aromatic substrate

The development of a high yielding, both nucleophile and electrophile selective cross-coupling reaction with aromatic rings is presented. The reaction is general with respect to functional groups. Furthermore, the products still contain a boronic ester and a bromide. These two functional groups allow them to be easy-to-prepare, highly complex starting materials for further reactions, avoiding protecting group transformations.

Mild and efficient oxy-iodination of alkynes and phenols with potassium iodide and tert-butyl hydroperoxide

An efficient synthesis of 1-iodoalkynes and iodophenols was easily achieved by employing simple KI and TBHP. The reaction does not involve the use of a metal and base combination. A variety of substituted alkynes and phenols were prepared with good to excellent yield.
