(matrix presented) Heck coupling of aryl halides or benzoic anhydride with alkenes can be performed with excellent yields in room-temperature ionic liquids, which provide a medium that dissolves the palladium catalyst and allows the product and byproducts to be easily separated. Consequently, the catalyst and ionic liquid can be recycled and reused.

Abstract: Several highly efficient and magnetically recyclable cobalt catalytic systems were prepared using magnetic chitosan and some safe and available organic compounds (Co-ligand@MNPs/Ch). The structure of these nanocomposites was confirmed by various physicochemical techniques such as FT-IR, XRD, TGA, VSM, TEM, SEM, CHNS and ICP-OES. These nano composites exhibit remarkable catalytic efficiency for Suzuki and Heck cross-coupling reactions in mild and green reaction conditions. The facile accessibility of starting materials, possible performance in air and eco-friendly conditions are merits of our catalysts. In addition, to describe and go insight to role and effect of ligands present in these catalysts, electrostatic interactions, density functional theory (DFT) model in molecular method were employed.

Asymmetric synthesis of piperidines using the nitro-Mannich reaction☆

A method for the synthesis of functionalized piperidines containing 3 contiguous stereocentres in the 2-,3- and 4- positions uses a diastereoselective nitro-Mannich to control stereochemistry. The nitro-Mannich reaction between a β-aryl/heteroaryl substituted nitroalkanes and glyoxylate imine provides β-nitro-amines with good selectivity (70:30 to >95:5) for the syn, anti-diastereoisomers. Reductive cyclisation with BF3.OEt2 and Et3SiH gave, after purification, stereochemically pure piperidines in 19–57% yield for ten examples with different 4-aryl/heteroaryl substituents.

A fluoride-promoted intramolecular Sakurai allylation of geminal bis(silyl) enamide with indolenine has been developed. The reaction facilitates an efficient cyclization to give hexahydropyrido[3,4-b]indoles in good yields with high diastereoselectivity. The resulted cis, trans-stereochemistry further enables the ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reaction of two alkene moieties, giving a tetracyclic N-hetereocycle widely found as the core structure in akuammiline alkaloids.

1-Butyl-3-methyltetrazolium-5-olate (1), a mesoionic compound, exists as a liquid at room temperature and can be used as a polar solvent for the Mizoroki-Heck reaction, wherein it has been proven to be a superior solvent to other solvents. The reaction of iodobenzene with ethyl acrylate in the presence of palladium acetate in mesoionic liquid 1 at 40 °C for 24 h gave ethyl cinnamate in 78% yield in the absence of ligands, while the use of other solvents, such as [bmim][BF4], [bmim][PF6], and DMF gave lower yields (43%, 37%, and 17%, respectively) under the same conditions. Heck-type coupling reactions of electron-deficient or electron-rich aryl iodides and bromobenzenes with olefins (15 examples, 7%–97%) were performed in 1. When a phosphine ligand was added to the reaction mixture, aryl bromides could be used, and the mesoionic liquid containing the catalysts could be reused at least five times.

The synthesis of 19 compounds derived from L-serine and analogs of p-substituted cinnamic acid is reported. Oxazolines 9 and oxazoles 10 have high antitubercular activity with Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) of 0.7812–25.0 μg/mL (3.21–100.3 μM), against two strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis sensitive to first-line drugs Isoniazid (INH), Rifampicin (RIF), Ethambutol (EMB), Pyrazinamide (PZE) (H37Rv) and a clinical isolate resistant to INH, RIF and EMB (G122). The cytotoxic evaluation shows that oxazoles have low activity, finding viability>96% against the VERO cell line. The results show these compounds could be considered as future alternatives for antitubercular treatment.

p-Coumaric acid is a known inhibitor of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in the initial steps of the melanin synthesis in human and other species. However, its low lipophilicity impairs its penetration through skin and efficacy as antimelanogenic agent indeed. Accordingly, this paper reports the assessment of several coumaric acid derivatives as tyrosinase inhibitors and antimelanogenic agents in in vitro, in silico and ex vivo assays. The compounds were designed with modifications in the aromatic and acid moieties of p-coumaric acid, being the coumarate esters the most promising derivatives. The compounds showed higher tyrosinase inhibitory activity (pIC50 3.7–4.2) than the parent acid, being compounds 1d, 1e and 1f the most potent inhibitors. Docking analysis showed that these esters are competitive inhibitors per se, and act independently of a redox mechanism as suggested by DPPH assays. Moreover, the esters showed efficacy in reducing the melanin deposition in human skin fragments at 0.1% concentration, especially compound 1e. In summary, there is an important equilibria between tyrosinase affinity and lipophilicity that must be considered to get effective antimelanogenic agents with adequate permeability in the skin.
Structure?Activity Relationships of Cinnamate Ester Analogues as Potent Antiprotozoal Agents

Protozoal infections are still a global health problem, threatening the lives of millions of people around the world, mainly in impoverished tropical and sub-tropical regions. Thus, in view of the lack of efficient therapies and increasing resistances against existing drugs, this study describes the antiprotozoal potential of synthetic cinnamate ester analogues and their structure-activity relationships. In general, Leishmania donovani and Trypanosoma brucei were quite susceptible to the compounds in a structure-dependent manner. Detailed analysis revealed a key role of the substitution pattern on the aromatic ring and a marked effect of the side chain on the activity against these two parasites. The high antileishmanial potency and remarkable selectivity of the nitro-aromatic derivatives suggested them as promising candidates for further studies. On the other hand, the high in vitro potency of catechol-type compounds against T. brucei could not be extrapolated to an in vivo mouse model.

Abstract: 2,2′-Bipyridine was successfully integrated into the skeleton of hypercrosslinked polymers networks (HCPs-bipy) via Friedel–Crafts reaction and Scholl coupling reaction, and PdCl2 was locked in this network polymers by coordination with pyridine motif. The preparation of HCPs-bipy has the advantages of low cost, mild conditions, easy separation and high yield. FT-IR, TGA, N2 sorption, ICP, XPS, SEM, EDX and TEM was employed to characterize the structure and composition of the heterogeneous catalysts. The result indicates that HCPs-bipy-Pd possess high specific surface areas, large microporous volume, thermal stability, and highly dispersion of palladium species. HCPs-bipy-Pd can be applied in Suzuki–Miyaura reactions and Heck reactions as robust heterogeneous catalyst to afford high yield. The reusability test demonstrates that HCPs-bipy-Pd could be recovered and reused for at least five times without losing catalytic activity. Graphic Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.].
