A highly efficient method to oxidize methylarenes to their corresponding acids with a reusable Cr catalyst was developed. The reaction can be carried out in water with 1 atm oxygen and K2S2O8as cooxidants, proceeds under green and mild conditions, and is suitable for the oxidation of both electron-deficient and electron-rich methylarenes, including heteroaryl methylarenes, even at the gram level. The excellent result, together with its simplicity of operation and the ability to continuously reuse the catalyst, makes this new methodology environmentally benign and cost-effective. The generality of this methodology gives it the potential for use on an industrial scale. Differing from the accepted oxidation mechanism of toluene, GC-MS studies and DFT calculations have revealed that the key benzyl alcohol intermediate is formed under the synergetic effect of the chromium and molybdenum in the Cr catalyst, which can be further oxidized to afford benzaldehyde and finally benzoic acid.

Here, we report the synthesis, structure-activity relationship studies, enzyme inhibition, antiviral activity, and X-ray crystallographic studies of 5-chloropyridinyl indole carboxylate derivatives as a potent class of SARS-CoV-2 chymotrypsin-like protease inhibitors. Compound 1 exhibited a SARS-CoV-2 3CLpro inhibitory IC50 value of 250 nM and an antiviral EC50 value of 2.8 μM in VeroE6 cells. Remdesivir, an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor, showed an antiviral EC50 value of 1.2 μM in the same assay. Compound 1 showed comparable antiviral activity with remdesivir in immunocytochemistry assays. Compound 7d with an N-allyl derivative showed the most potent enzyme inhibitory IC50 value of 73 nM. To obtain molecular insight into the binding properties of these molecules, X-ray crystal structures of compounds 2, 7b, and 9d-bound to SARS-CoV 3CLpro were determined, and their binding properties were compared.

Paragraph 0099; 0100, (2019/12/29)
The invention discloses a method for a copper-catalyzed carboxylation reaction of arylboronic acid and carbon dioxide. According to the method, carbon dioxide is used as a C1 source, copper catalysisis adopted, alkoxide serves as alkali, and a reaction is carried out in an organic solvent; the method is simple in process and easy to implement, and shows wide functional group compatibility; the method allows various arylboronic acids such as monosubstituted or polysubstituted phenylboronic acid, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon boronic acid and benzoheterocyclic boronic acid to be converted into corresponding arylcarboxylic acids with considerable yield under mild conditions; and the produced carboxylic acids have important application value, and can be used for deriving a great number of other common chemical substances, such as acyl halide, acid anhydride, ester and amide.
