Ruthenium-catalyzed C-H oxygenation of quinones by weak O-coordination for potent trypanocidal agents

Ruthenium-catalysis enabled the C-5 selective C-H oxygenation of naphthoquinones, and also sets the stage for the site-selective introduction of a hydroxyl group into anthraquinones. A-ring modified naphthoquinoidal compounds represent an important class of bioactive quinones for which the present study encompasses the first C-H oxygenation strategy by weak O-coordination.

Ru(II)-Catalyzed Site-Selective Hydroxylation of Flavone and Chromone Derivatives: The Importance of the 5-Hydroxyl Motif for the Inhibition of Aurora Kinases

An efficient protocol for Ru(II)-catalyzed direct C-H oxygenation of a broad range of flavone and chromone substrates was developed. This convenient and powerful synthetic tool allows for the rapid installation of the hydroxyl group into the flavone, chromone, and other related scaffolds and opens the way for analog synthesis of highly potent Aurora kinase inhibitors. The molecular docking simulations indicate that the formation of bidentate H-bonding patterns in the hinge regions between the 5-hydroxyflavonoids and Ala213 was the significant binding force, which is consistent with experimental and computational findings.
