Diradicals Photogeneration from Chloroaryl-Substituted Carboxylic Acids

With the aim of generating new, thermally inaccessible diradicals, potentially able to induce a double-strand DNA cleavage, the photochemistry of a set of chloroaryl-substituted carboxylic acids in polar media was investigated. The photoheterolytic cleavage of the Ar?Cl bond occurred in each case to form the corresponding triplet phenyl cations. Under basic conditions, the photorelease of the chloride anion was accompanied by an intramolecular electron-transfer from the carboxylate group to the aromatic radical cationic site to give a diradical species. This latter intermediate could then undergo CO2 loss in a structure-dependent fashion, according to the stability of the resulting diradical, or abstract a hydrogen atom from the medium. In aqueous environment at physiological pH (pH=7.3), both a phenyl cation and a diradical chemistry was observed. The mechanistic scenario and the role of the various intermediates (aryl cations and diradicals) involved in the process was supported by computational analysis.

In this study, we attempted the chemical simplification of Psammaplin (PsA), while retaining its activity in vitro. Inspired by the previous Structure Activity Relationship (SAR) studies on various PsA analogues and relying on the fact that oxime is metabolically unstable, we initially designed and synthesized a diverse library of PsA analogues and evaluated for cytotoxic activity. Among 32 compounds of Psammaplin analogues synthesized, the compound 10b was almost equally active as parent Psammaplin in vitro.

A metal-free and redox-neutral method for Beckmann rearrangement employing inexpensive and readily available SO2F2 gas is described. The reported transformation proceeds at ambient temperature and is compatible with a wide range of sterically and electronically diverse aromatic, heteroaromatic, aliphatic and lignin-like oximes providing amides in good to excellent yields. The reaction proceeds through the formation of an imidoyl fluoride intermediate that can also be used for the synthesis of amidines.
