Synthesis of novel 1-phenyl-benzopyrrolizidin-3-one derivatives and evaluation of their cytoneuroprotective effects against NMDA-induced injury in PC12 cells

A range of novel 1-phenyl-benzopyrrolizidin-3-one derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for neuroprotective effects against N-methyl-?-aspartate (NMDA)-induced injury in PC12 cells. Interestingly, derivatives that 1-phenyl moiety bearing electron-donating group, especially benzyloxy, and the trans-forms exhibited better protective activity against NMDA-induced neurotoxicity. Compound 11 m demonstrated the best neuroprotective potency and shown a dose-dependent prevention. The increased intracellular calcium (Ca2+) influx caused by NMDA in PC12 cells was reversed in the case of compound 11 m pretreatment at 15 μM. These results suggested that the synthesized 1-phenyl-benzopyrrolizidin-3-one derivatives exerted neuroprotective effect on NMDA-induced excitotoxicity in PC12 cells associated with inhibition of Ca2+ overload and can be further optimized for the development of neuroprotective agents.

Sodium pyruvate as a peroxide scavenger in aerobic oxidation under carbene catalysis

NHC-Catalyzed aerobic oxidative reactions of imines and aldehydes have been developed by using sodium pyruvate as a novel and efficient peroxide scavenger. A structurally diverse set of imidates and amidines has been prepared from imines using this strategy. This general and efficient strategy features the use of sodium pyruvate as a novel and efficient peroxide scavenger and ambient air as the sole oxidant to efficiently control the NHC-catalyzed aerobic reaction pathway (selective realization of the oxidative pathway) under mild and green conditions.

Highly Regio- A nd Enantioselective Hydrogenation of Conjugated α-Substituted Dienoic Acids

Highly regio- A nd enantioselective hydrogenation of conjugated α-substituted dienoic acids was realized for the first time using Trifer-Rh complex, providing a straightforward method for the synthesis of chiral α-substituted ?,?′-unsaturated acids. DFT calculations revealed N+H-O hydrogen bonding interaction is formed to stabilize the transition state and the coordination of 4,5-double bond to Rh(III) center would facilitate the reductive elimination process. This hydrogenation provided a gram-scale synthesis of the precursor of sacubitril.

Phenanthroline-based microporous organic polymer as a platform for an immobilized palladium catalyst for organic transformations

Porous organic polymers have attracted significant attention owing to their large specific surface area, excellent chemical and thermal stability, and controllable skeletons. phenanthroline-based microporous organic polymer (Phen-MOP) has been synthesized via a cost-effective method based on the Scholl reaction. The Phen-MOP polymer exhibits high surface area and good stability. Owing to the phenanthroline skeleton embedding into the microporous polymer framework, the Phen-MOP can serve as a platform to support a transition metal catalyst. After being post-modified with palladium acetate, the synthesized Phen-Pd-MOP framework can serve as a highly efficient heterogeneous catalyst for the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction and the Heck coupling reaction. Moreover, the Phen-Pd-MOP catalyst could be reused at least 10-12 times without any significant loss of the catalytic activity.

Biochar as heterogeneous support for immobilization of Pd as efficient and reusable biocatalyst in C–C coupling reactions

Biochar is a stable and carbon-rich solid which has a high density of carbonyl, hydroxyl and carboxylic acid functional groups on its surface. In this work, the surface of biochar nanoparticles (BNPs) was modified with 3-choloropropyltrimtoxysilane and further 2-(thiophen-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole was anchored on its surface. Then, palladium nanoparticles were fabricated on the surface of the modified BNPs and further the catalytic application was studied as recyclable biocatalyst in carbon–carbon coupling reactions such as Suzuki–Miyaura and Heck–Mizoroki cross-coupling reactions. The structure of the catalyst was characterized using scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction and atomic absorption spectroscopy. The catalyst can be reused several times without a decrease in its catalytic efficiency. In addition to the several advantages reported, application of biochar as catalyst support for the first time is a major novelty of the present work.

Magnetic MCM-41 nanoparticles as a support for the immobilization of a palladium organometallic catalyst and its application in C-C coupling reactions

In this study, the surface of magnetic MCM-41 nanoparticles (MCM-41/Fe3O4) was modified by 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and further, 1-methyl imidazole was anchored on their surface using cyanuric chloride as a linker. Then, Pd2+ ions were immobilized on the surface of the modified MCM-41/Fe3O4 (Pd-imi-CC@MCM-41/Fe3O4), and its application was studied as a magnetically recyclable nanocatalyst in carbon-carbon coupling reactions between a wide range of aryl halides and butyl acrylate, methyl acrylate, acrylonitrile, phenylboronic acid, or 3,4-difluorophenylboronic acid under the conditions of a phosphine-free ligand and an air atmosphere. This catalyst has the advantages of both the Fe3O4 nanoparticles and mesoporous MCM-41. The structure of the catalyst was characterized via TEM, SEM, EDS, WDX, N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm, XRD, TGA, FT-IR, and AAS. Also, the recovered catalyst was characterized via SEM, AAS and FT-IR. All the products from the carbon-carbon coupling reaction were obtained with excellent yields and high TON and TOF values, which indicate the high efficiency and activity of this catalyst. The selectivity of this catalyst was studied with various aryl halides bearing different functional groups. Furthermore, the heterogeneity and stability of Pd-imi-CC@MCM-41/Fe3O4 was studied via AAS, and leaching and poisoning tests. According to the results, this heterogeneous catalyst can be reused several times.

Homoleptic cis- and trans-palladium(II) bis(guanidinato) complexes derived from N-aryl-N′,N″-di(pyridin-2-yl)- and N-aryl-N′,N″-bis(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)guanidines: Catalysts for Heck-Mizoroki coupling reactions

N-Aryl-N′,N″-di(pyridin-2-yl)- and N-aryl-N′,N″-bis(6-methylpyridin-2-yl)guanidines (1–4 and 5–7) were isolated in 75%–81% yields. Reactions of Pd(OAc)2 with guanidines 2–7 carried out separately in toluene at 60 °C for 3 h afforded 8–13 respectively in 69%–80% yields. Compounds 1–13 were characterized by elemental analyses, HR-MS, IR and NMR (1H and 13C) spectroscopy. Molecular structures of guanidines 1, 4, 5 and 6 and those of 8–13 were determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Pd(II) atom in 8–10 revealed trans geometry while that in 11–13 revealed cis geometry. DFT calculations were carried out on model compounds 9a (trans) and its hypothetical cis isomer, 9b and 12a (cis) and its hypothetical trans isomer 12b which indicated a very small energy difference between the 9a/9b pair (1.28 kcal/mol) whereas a large energy difference was observed between the 12a/12b pair (26.38 kcal/mol) in CH2Cl2. The catalytic utility of 9 in Heck-Mizoroki coupling reactions involving styrene and methyl acrylate and aryl bromides/aryl chlorides in the presence of NaOAc and excess of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) at 120 °C was explored. Both activated and de-activated aryl bromides and aryl chlorides were coupled with styrene and in addition, the aryl chlorides were coupled with methyl acrylate in the presence of 9 to afford the respective coupling products in 68% ? >99% yields. Neat reaction carried out with 9 and TBAB under the optimized condition released the colloidal Pd black as verified by EDAX, PXRD and SEM techniques thereby implying the heterogeneous nature of catalysis.

In situ synthesis of carbon nanotube-encapsulated cobalt nanoparticles by a novel and simple chemical treatment process: Efficient and green catalysts for the Heck reaction

In this study, we present a novel, fast and easy method for supporting metal nanoparticles onto the internal surface of multi-walled CNTs; these CNT-encapsulated nanoparticles as heterogeneous, efficient, inexpensive and green catalysts promote the Heck cross-coupling of a large library of functional substrates under mild and sustainable conditions. Remarkably, the introduced catalytic system could be reused for at least nine successive runs without a discernible decrease in its catalytic activity.

Fabrication of Pd/CuFe2O4 hybrid nanowires: A heterogeneous catalyst for Heck couplings

The development of environmentally benign transformations is indispensable in organic synthesis. Herein, a hybrid heterogeneous catalyst, palladium(0) on copper ferrite nanowires, has been synthesized, characterized, and for the first time, employed in the Jeffrey Heck reaction between iodoarenes and allylic alcohols, and good to excellent yields have been obtained. In addition, the catalyst was found to be suitable for the usual Heck coupling. The nanocatalyst was recovered and reused up-to multiple runs without any noticeable loss of its catalytic activity.

Probing the Evolution of Palladium Species in Pd@MOF Catalysts during the Heck Coupling Reaction: An Operando X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy Study

The mechanism of the Heck C-C coupling reaction catalyzed by Pd@MOFs has been investigated using operando X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) combined with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance (1H NMR) kinetic studies. A custom-made reaction cell was used, allowing operando PXRD and XAS data collection using high-energy synchrotron radiation. By analyzing the XAS data in combination with ex situ studies, the evolution of the palladium species is followed from the as-synthesized to its deactivated form. An adaptive reaction mechanism is proposed. Mononuclear Pd(II) complexes are found to be the dominant active species at the beginning of the reaction, which then gradually transform into Pd nanoclusters with 13-20 Pd atoms on average in later catalytic turnovers. Consumption of available reagent and substrate leads to coordination of Cl- ions to their surfaces, which causes the poisoning of the active sites. By understanding the deactivation process, it was possible to tune the reaction conditions and prolong the lifetime of the catalyst.
