A catalyst- and additive-free decarbonylative trifluoromethylthiolation of aldehyde feedstocks has been developed. This operationally simple, scalable, and open-to-air transformation is driven by the selective photoexcitation of electron donor-acceptor (EDA) complexes, stemming from the association of 1,4-dihydropyridines (donor) with N-(trifluoromethylthio)phthalimide (acceptor), to trigger intermolecular single-electron transfer events under ambient- and visible light-promoted conditions. Extension to other electron acceptors enables the synthesis of thiocyanates and thioesters, as well as the difunctionalization of [1.1.1]propellane. The mechanistic intricacies of this photochemical paradigm are elucidated through a combination of experimental efforts and high-level quantum mechanical calculations [dispersion-corrected (U)DFT, DLPNO-CCSD(T), and TD-DFT]. This comprehensive study highlights the necessity for EDA complexation for efficient alkyl radical generation. Computation of subsequent ground state pathways reveals that SH2 addition of the alkyl radical to the intermediate radical EDA complex is extremely exergonic and results in a charge transfer event from the dihydropyridine donor to the N-(trifluoromethylthio)phthalimide acceptor of the EDA complex. Experimental and computational results further suggest that product formation also occurs via SH2 reaction of alkyl radicals with 1,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)disulfane, generated in-situ through combination of thiyl radicals.

A novel visible-light (blue LEDs: hν?=?425?±?15?nm) photocatalyzed one-pot method for the synthesis of electronically diverse aryl glyoxals in good to excellent yields from acetoarylones and green regents such as air, vitamin C and dioxane dibromide has been described. In addition, an application of the current methodology has been demonstrated for the oxidation of monoamine oxidase-B inhibitors, i.e., 1-(4-((4-fluorobenzyl)oxy)phenyl)ethanone and 1-(3-((4-chlorobenzyl)oxy)phenyl)ethanone. This finding may serves as a valuable alternative to the traditional acetoarylones oxidation reactions conducted using selenium dioxide a harmful and unselective reagent known to simultaneously oxidize allylic, benzylic, [sbnd]CH3and so on.

Today there is an urgent need for safe and effective dual-purpose contraceptive agents, which can simultaneously prevent unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STI). There are several naturally occurring antimicrobial and antibiotic drugs (novobiocin, coumermycin and chlorobiocin) reported in the literature, which are based on 4-hydroxy coumarins as the active pharmacophore. Based on these interesting reports, we designed and synthesized a library of new 4-hydroxy coumarin derivatives and evaluated them for spermicidal activity. Among the tested compounds, two compounds (2a and 2d) displayed better activity (greater than 95% sperm immobilization at 0.5 mM concentration) than the positive control nonoxynol-9 (N-9). Furthermore, all the compounds were screened for antimicrobial activity against different strains of Trichomonas vaginalis and two compounds (2c and 2h) exhibited potent activity as compared to the reference drug metronidazole. The cytotoxicity assay showed that most of these compounds were safer than the N-9 against the human cervical HeLa cell line and normal vaginal flora Lactobacillus jensenii strains. The studies have demonstrated that compound (2a) is a potential lead to develop a dually active vaginal contraceptive.

The synthesis of (4 or 5)-aryl-2-aroyl-1H-imidazoles and 2-hydroxy-3,6-diarylpyrazines from aryl methyl ketones via a cascade process of DMSO-HBr oxidation and Debus reaction was investigated. Owing to the simple starting materials, mild conditions, easy operation, high bioactivity of imidazole and pyrazine derivatives, this protocol has great potential in medicinal chemistry.

The oxidation of aryl methyl ketone and heteroaryl methyl ketone to arylglyoxals and heteroaryl glyoxal respectively has been carried out by using the cheap and easily available, non toxic, Lewis acid CuCl2 in DMSO solvent at 70-80°C within 1-2 hr. The reaction can be performed in air without loss of variety of oxidisable fuctional group like phenolic OH, hetroaryl ring, aryl substituted methyl, halo, nitro group, etc.

An I2/KOH synergistically promoted direct ring-opening aroylation of benzothiazoles with aryl ketones has been discovered. Aryl ketones were seen to act as carbonyl sources to construct 2-acylbenzothiazoles. This reaction could provide an example for the convergent integration of self-labor domino sequences based on an in situ cross-trapping strategy.
Microwave assisted synthesis of 1,5-disubstituted hydantoins and thiohydantoins in solvent-free conditions
Paul,Gupta,Gupta,Loupy
, p. 75 - 78 (2007/10/03)
1,5-Disubstituted hydantoins/thiohydantoins 3a-p have been synthesized in 81-95% yield by a microwave-promoted solvent-free condensation of arylglyoxals 1 and phenylurea/thiourea 2 using PPE as a reaction mediator. This method can be extended towards the parallel synthesis of 3. The workup is simple and involves treatment with ice-cold water.
