Increasing the scope of palladium-catalyzed cyanations of aryl chlorides

An improved protocol for the palladium-catalyzed cyanation of electron-rich aryl chlorides with potassium ferrocyanide [K4[Fe(CN)6]] is presented. Compared to previous procedures the substrate scope is significantly broadened.

Synthesis of low molecular weight compounds with complement inhibition activity

An attempt was made to synthesize a series of non-cytotoxic low molecular weight meta-substituted aromatic ethers (2-4, 5-7) and some of their bioisosteres (14-16) and to evaluate their activity on the activation of human complement (classical pathway) and their intrinsic hemolytic activity. The in vitro assay results of the inhibition of complement-mediated hemolysis by these analogues indicate that the aldehydic meta substituted aromatic ethers show inhibitory potency, while carboxylic acid meta substituted aromatic ethers show hemolytic activity. Some of the bioisosteres exhibit both inhibitory as well as hemolytic property.

Palladium-catalyzed synthesis of nitriles from N-phthaloyl hydrazones

The Pd-catalyzed transformation of N-phthaloyl hydrazones into nitriles involving the cleavage of an N-N bond is reported. The use of N-heterocyclic carbene as a ligand is essential for the success of the reaction. N-Phthaloyl hydrazones prepared from aromatic aldehydes or cyclobutanones are applicable to this transformation, which gives aryl or alkenyl nitriles, respectively.

One pot synthesis of aryl nitriles from aromatic aldehydes in a water environment

In this study, we found a green method to obtain aryl nitriles from aromatic aldehyde in water. This simple process was modified from a conventional method. Compared with those approaches, we used water as the solvent instead of harmful chemical reagents. In this one-pot conversion, we got twenty-five aryl nitriles conveniently with pollution to the environment being minimized. Furthermore, we confirmed the reaction mechanism by capturing the intermediates, aldoximes.
