The development of chemoselective and heterogeneous earth-abundant metal catalysts is essential for environmentally friendly chemical synthesis. We report a highly efficient, chemoselective, and reusable single-site nickel(II) hydride catalyst based on robust and porous aluminum metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) (DUT-5) for hydrogenation of nitro and nitrile compounds to the corresponding amines and hydrogenolysis of aryl ethers under mild conditions. The nickel-hydride catalyst was prepared by the metalation of aluminum hydroxide secondary building units (SBUs) of DUT-5 having the formula of Al(μ2-OH)(bpdc) (bpdc = 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylate) with NiBr2 followed by a reaction with NaEt3BH. DUT-5-NiH has a broad substrate scope with excellent functional group tolerance in the hydrogenation of aromatic and aliphatic nitro and nitrile compounds under 1 bar H2 and could be recycled and reused at least 10 times. By changing the reaction conditions of the hydrogenation of nitriles, symmetric or unsymmetric secondary amines were also afforded selectively. The experimental and computational studies suggested reversible nitrile coordination to nickel followed by 1,2-insertion of coordinated nitrile into the nickel-hydride bond occurring in the turnover-limiting step. In addition, DUT-5-NiH is also an active catalyst for chemoselective hydrogenolysis of carbon-oxygen bonds in aryl ethers to afford hydrocarbons under atmospheric hydrogen in the absence of any base, which is important for the generation of fuels from biomass. This work highlights the potential of MOF-based single-site earth-abundant metal catalysts for practical and eco-friendly production of chemical feedstocks and biofuels.

Transition metal catalysis that utilizes N-heterocyclic carbenes as noninnocent ligands in promoting transformations has not been well studied. We report here a cyclic (alkyl)(amino)carbene (CAAC) ligand-promoted nitro deoxygenative hydroboration with cost-effective chromium catalysis. Using 1 mol % of CAAC-Cr precatalyst, the addition of HBpin to nitro scaffolds leads to deoxygenation, allowing for the retention of various reducible functionalities and the compatibility of sensitive groups toward hydroboration, thereby providing a mild, chemoselective, and facile strategy to form anilines, as well as heteroaryl and aliphatic amine derivatives, with broad scope and particularly high turnover numbers (up to 1.8 × 106). Mechanistic studies, based on theoretical calculations, indicate that the CAAC ligand plays an important role in promoting polarity reversal of hydride of HBpin; it serves as an H-shuttle to facilitate deoxygenative hydroboration. The preparation of several commercially available pharmaceuticals by means of this strategy highlights its potential application in medicinal chemistry.

Based on the potent antidepressant and anticonvulsant activities of the triazole-containing quinolinones reported in our previous work, a series of ring-opened derivatives of them were designed, synthesized in this work. Their antidepressant and anticonvulsant activities were screened using the forced swimming test (FST) and the maximal electroshock seizure test (MES), respectively. The results showed that compounds 4a, 5a, 6c-6e, 6g-6i, and 7 led to significant reductions in the accumulated immobility time in the FST at a dose of 50 mg/kg. Especially compound 7 exhibited higher levels of efficacy than the reference standard fluoxetine in the FST and the tail suspension test. The results of an open field test excluded the possibility of central nervous stimulation of 7, which further confirmed its antidepressant effect. Meanwhile, compounds 6a-6i and 7 showed different degrees of anticonvulsant activity in mice at the doses range from 300 to 30 mg/kg in the MES. Among them, compounds 6e and 7 displayed the ED50 of 38.5 and 32.7 mg/kg in the MES, and TD50 of 254.6 and 245.5 mg/kg, respectively. No one showed neurotoxicity at the dose of 100 mg/kg. The preliminary investigation forward to their mechanism indicated that regulation of GABAergic system might contribute to their anticonvulsive and anti-depressive action.

In this paper, the kinetics of acylation reaction of o-phenylenediamine/p-phenylenediamine and benzoic anhydride were determined in microreactors, respectively. A kinetic model was established, all kinetic parameters including reaction orders, reaction rate constants, pre-exponential factors, and activation energies were acquired. Validation experiments showed experimental data fit well with calculated data at different reactant concentrations and residence times. The comparisons of the reaction rate constants and activation energies were summarized to show the difference of chemical reactivities of phenylenediamines. According to the calculation of the kinetic model, the optimized reaction conditions were listed to meet the monoacylation selectivity equal to 97.0%.

Abstract: An efficient green route for monoacylation of aromatic diamines, namely o-phenylenediamine and p-phenylenediamine and aliphatic diamines ethylenediamine and piperazine using N-acylbenzotriazoles (NABs) in n-butanol was developed. The new protocol does not require prior selective protection of the diamine and comprises simple conditions, short reaction times, an easy work up as well as high isolated yields (69–94%). Moreover, the method described herein enable stepwise acylation of aliphatic diamines such as ethylenediamine and piperazine with two different N-acylbenzotriazoles affording unsymmetrical substituted diamines that can be used for construction of pharmaceutically important targets such as drugs, foldamers, and drug conjugates.

Gallic acid (GA), a natural phenolic acid, has received numerous attention because of its anti-oxidative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer activity. More importantly, GA can act as an efficient inhibitor of α-Synuclein (α-Syn) aggregation at early stages. Nevertheless, some evidences suggest that GA is unlikely to cross the blood–brain barrier because of its high hydrophilicity. Hence, GA may not be considered as a promising candidate or entering brain and directly affecting the central nervous system. Accordingly, we have designed and synthesized a series of amide derivatives of GA, some of which possess appropriate lipophilicity and hydrophilicity with LogP (2.09–2.79). Meanwhile, these sheet-like conjugated compounds have good π-electron delocalization and high ability of hydrogen-bond formation. Some compounds have shown better in vitro anti-aggregation activities than GA towards α-Syn, with IC50 down to 0.98 μM. The valid modification strategy of GA is considered an efficient way to discover novel inhibitors of α-Syn aggregation.

Different series of novel thieno [2,3-d]pyrimidine derivative (9a-d,10a-f,l,m and 15a-m) were designed, synthesized and evaluated for their ability to in vitro inhibit VEGFR-2 enzyme. Also, the cytotoxicity of the final compounds was tested against a panel of 60 different human cancer cell lines by NCI. The VEGFR-2 enzyme inhibitory results revealed that compounds 10d, 15d and 15 g are among the most active inhibitors with IC50 values of 2.5, 5.48 and 2.27 μM respectively, while compound 10a remarkably showed the highest cell growth inhibition with mean growth inhibition (GI) percent of 31.57%. It exhibited broad spectrum anti-proliferative activity against several NCI cell lines specifically on human breast cancer (T7-47D) and renal cancer (A498) cell lines of 85.5% and 77.65% inhibition respectively. To investigate the mechanistic aspects underlying the activity, further biological studies like flow cytometry cell cycle together with caspase-3 colorimetric assays were carried on compound 10a. Flow cytometric analysis on both MCV-7 and PC-3 cancer cells revealed that it induced cell-cycle arrest in the G0-G1phase and reinforced apoptosis via activation of caspase-3. Furthermore, molecular modeling studies have been carried out to gain further understanding of the binding mode in the active site of VEGFR-2 enzyme and predict pharmacokinetic properties of all the synthesized inhibitors.

The broader and systematic application of a novel scaffold is often hampered by the unavailability of a short and reliable synthetic access. We investigated a new strategy for the design and synthesis of an array of N2-substituted aza-2H-indazole derivatives as potential kinase inhibitors. Guided by a rational ligand alignment approach to qualify the so-far underrepresented aza-2H-indazole scaffold, indazoles were connected at the N2 position with a phenyl spacer and an arylsulfonamide or amide linkage. Initial profiling against a panel of 30 kinases confirmed the in silico predicted selectivity bias. A synthesized focused library of 52 different aza-2H-indazole derivatives showed good initial selective inhibition against SGK1, Tie2, and SRC kinases, with the best representatives having IC50 values in the range of 500 nm. In a comparative computational study, these data were analyzed and rationalized in light of docking studies.
