A Cascade Reaction of Michael Addition and Truce-Smiles Rearrangement to Synthesize Trisubstituted 4-Quinolone Derivatives

A novel transition-metal-free cascade reaction to synthesize 4-quinolone derivatives has been demonstrated. Michael addition and Truce-Smiles rearrangement are included in this protocol, providing a broad scope of 4-quinolones in moderate-to-excellent yields. This work serves as an example of the use of sulfonamides through Truce-Smiles rearrangement to build heterocyclic compounds under mild conditions.

Metal-Free β-Amino Alcohol Synthesis: A Two-step Smiles Rearrangement

A novel method for the synthesis of β-amino alcohols has been demonstrated under mild reaction conditions with a broad scope via a two-step Smiles rearrangement. What is more, theoretical calculations have been performed to confirm the rationality of the mechanism. The method has been proved to be notably effective for N-arylated amino alcohols, which are difficult to synthesize by traditional methods.

An Organic Intermolecular Dehydrogenative Annulation Reaction

The discovery of a direct method for the synthesis of three-ring heterocyclic carbazoles from unactivated arenes and anilides by a metal-free (organic) intermolecular dehydrogenative annulation reaction under ambient laboratory conditions is reported. Iodine(III) was used as the sole reagent either stoichiometrically from inexpensive phenyliodine diacetate or organocatalytically by in situ generation from PhI-mCPBA. In a single step, three C(sp2)-H bonds and one N(sp3)-H bond are functionalized from two different arenes for tandem C-C and C-N bond formation reactions.

Copper-catalyzed mild nitration of protected anilines

A practical copper-catalyzed direct nitration of protected anilines, by using one equivalent of nitric acid as the nitrating agent, has been developed. This procedure features mild reaction conditions, wide structural scope (with regard to both N-protecting group and arene substitution), and high functional-group tolerance. Dinitration with two equivalents of nitric acid is also feasible. Practical and reliable: A Cu-catalyzed selective nitration of para- and ortho-substituted aniline derivatives by using one equivalent of HNO3 has been developed that produces water as the only stoichiometric byproduct (see scheme; PG=protecting group). This method is compatible with strongly electron-deficient substrates, enabling dinitration (by using 2.0 equiv of HNO3). This method allows for a rapid access to relevant nitrogen-containing heterocyclic architectures.

Electron-withdrawing substituted benzenesulfonamides against the predominant community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus strain USA300

A small focused chemical library constituted of sulfonamides was synthesized. These compounds were designed to lack the p-aminobenzene moiety typically found in sulfonamide antibiotics. Antimicrobial activities of these synthetic compounds were investigated against global predominant methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain USA300 (SF8300) and control strains of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) ATCC 25923 and ATCC 29213 using disk diffusion and microdilution assays. Based on susceptibility results, potent S. aureus and MRSA USA300 growth inhibitors such as N-[3,5- bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-4-bromobenzenesulfonamide with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) as low as 5.6 μg/cm3 along with other effective sulfonamides were discovered. Structure-activity correlations revealed that these desamino-benzenesulfonamides required electron-withdrawing substituents to be effective inhibitors of bacterial pathogen growth. In addition, their ability to inhibit growth of S. aureus strains was retained even when bacterial folate synthetic intermediate, p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), was supplemented, whereas PABA supplementation completely diminished the antibacterial activity of the known sulfa drug tested, sulfamethoxazole. The sulfa-resistant MRSA strain COL also showed great susceptibility to these desamino-benzenesulfonamides. These results imply a unique mechanism of growth inhibition by these potent desamino-benzenesulfonamides, different from the well-known folate pathway target of sulfonamide antibiotics.

Analgesic agents without gastric damage: Design and synthesis of structurally simple benzenesulfonanilide-type cyclooxygenase-1-selective inhibitors

In order to create novel analgesic agents without gastric disturbance, structurally simple cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibitors with a benzenesulfonanilide skeleton were designed and synthesized. As a result, compounds 11f and 15a, which possess a p-amino group on the benzenesulfonyl moiety and p-chloro group on the anilino moiety, showed COX-1-selective inhibition. Moreover compound 11f, which is the most potent compound in this study showed more potent analgesic activity than that of aspirin at 30 mg/kg by po. The anti-inflammatory activity and gastric damage, however, were very weak or not detectably different from aspirin. Since the structure of our COX-1 inhibitors are very simple, they may be useful as lead compounds for superior COX-1 inhibitors as analgesic agents without gastric disturbance.

Effect of para substitution on dissociation of N-phenylbenzenesulfonamides

The reaction of substituted anilines and benzenesulfonyl chlorides has been used to prepare 49 substituted N-phenylbenzenesulfonamides of general formula 4-X-C6H4SO2NHC6H4-Y- 4′. Their purity was checked by elemental analysis. The substituents X and Y include H, CH3, CH3O, Cl, Br, CN, and NO2. The dissociation constants of all compounds were determined by potentiometric titration in methanol, acetonitrile, N,N-dimethylformamide, and pyridine. The obtained dissociation constants, pKHA, were correlated with various sets of substituent constants. It was found that the effects of substituents X and Y on the dissociation are best described by using the Hammett equation with σp constants and the Yukawa-Tsuno equation with σp- and σp constants, respectively. This result confirms the direct conjugation of Y substituent with the reaction centre. The explained variability using the additive model was above 96% in all the solvents used. The data also provided information about the transmission effect of the SO2 group. The average dissociation constants were further processed by the latent variables methods, principal components and conjugated deviations analyses.
