Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel N-sulfonylamidine-based derivatives as c-Met inhibitors via Cu-catalyzed three-component reaction

In our continuing efforts to develop novel c-Met inhibitors as potential anticancer candidates, a series of new N-sulfonylamidine derivatives were designed, synthesized via Cu-catalyzed multicomponent reaction (MCR) as the key step, and evaluated for their in vitro biological activities against c-Met kinase and four cancer cell lines (A549, HT-29, MKN-45 and MDA-MB-231). Most of the target compounds showed moderate to significant potency at both the enzyme-based and cell-based assay and possessed selectivity for A549 and HT-29 cancer cell lines. The preliminary SAR studies demonstrated that compound 26af (c-Met IC50 = 2.89 nM) was the most promising compound compared with the positive foretinib, which exhibited the remarkable antiproliferative activities, with IC50 values ranging from 0.28 to 0.72 μM. Mechanistic studies of 26af showed the anticancer activity was closely related to the blocking phosphorylation of c-Met, leading to cell cycle arresting at G2/M phase and apoptosis of A549 cells by a concentration-dependent manner. The promising compound 26af was further identified as a relatively selective inhibitor of c-Met kinase, which also possessed an acceptable safety profile and favorable pharmacokinetic properties in BALB/c mouse. The favorable drug-likeness of 26af suggested that N-sulfonylamidines may be used as a promising scaffold for antitumor drug development. Additionally, the docking study and molecular dynamics simulations of 26af revealed a common mode of interaction with the binding site of c-Met. These positive results indicated that compound 26af is a potential anti-cancer candidate for clinical trials, and deserves further development as a selective c-Met inhibitor.

Pd-catalyzed amidation of 1,3-diketones with CO and azidesviaa nitrene intermediate

An efficient Pd-catalyzed amidation of 1,3-diketones has been developed using carbon monoxide and organic azides. This reaction provides a step-economic approach to produce β-ketoamides from readily available compounds under mild ligand-, oxidant-, and base-free conditions. The mechanistic studies showed that the reaction occurred through anin situgenerated isocyanate intermediate.

Rh(III)-Catalyzed C(8)-H Activation of Quinoline N-Oxides: Regioselective C-Br and C-N Bond Formation

A highly efficient and regioselective Rh(III)-catalyzed protocol for C8-bromination and amidation of quinoline N-oxide was developed. The transformation was found to be successful up to gram scale with excellent functional group tolerance and wide substrate scope. The mechanistic study revealed five-membered rhodacycle with quinoline N-oxide as a key intermediate for regioselective C8-functionalization. In addition, NFSI (N-fluorobis(phenylsulfonyl)-imide) was explored as an amidating reagent for C8-amidation of quinoline N-oxide for the first time.

Intermolecular C?H Amidation of (Hetero)arenes to Produce Amides through Rhodium-Catalyzed Carbonylation of Nitrene Intermediates

Amide bond formation is one of the most important reactions in organic chemistry because of the widespread presence of amides in pharmaceuticals and biologically active compounds. Existing methods for amides synthesis are reaching their inherent limits. Described herein is a novel rhodium-catalyzed three-component reaction to synthesize amides from organic azides, carbon monoxide, and (hetero)arenes via nitrene-intermediates and direct C?H functionalization. Notably, the reaction proceeds in an intermolecular fashion with N2 as the only by-product, and either directing groups nor additives are required. The computational and mechanistic studies show that the amides are formed via a key Rh-nitrene intermediate.

Palladium(0)-Catalyzed Carbonylative Synthesis of N-Acylsulfonamides via Regioselective Acylation

N-Acylsulfonamides represent an important bioisostere of carboxylic acids that allow for greater molecular elaboration and enhanced hydrogen bonding capabilities. Herein, we present a mild and convenient palladium(0)-catalyzed synthesis of N-acylsulfonamides via the carbonylative coupling of sulfonyl azides and electron-rich heterocycles. The reaction proceeds via in situ generation of a sulfonyl isocyanate followed by regioselective acylation of an indole or pyrrole nucleophile. This approach has been used to synthesize 34 indole- and pyrrole-substituted N-acylsulfonamides in yields of up to 95%. Importantly, this process is ligand-free and compatible with an ex situ solid CO source and requires only slightly elevated temperatures, making it a highly attractive method for the preparation of this important class of compounds. This study further investigated the possibility of labeling N-acylsulfonamides with carbon-11 to facilitate biological evaluation and in vivo studies with positron emission tomography.

Ligand-Free, Quinoline N-Assisted Copper-Catalyzed Nitrene Transfer Reaction to Synthesize 8-Quinolylsulfimides

An efficient copper-catalyzed, quinolyl N-directed nitrene transfer reaction to 8-quinolylsulfides was described. A variety of 8-quinolylsulfimides with different functional groups were synthesized in moderate to high yields. The obtained 8-quinolylsulfimides were proved to be promising novel type of bidentate ligands in Pd(II)-catalyzed allylic alkylation.

Nitroacenaphthene as a New Photocatalyst for the Synthesis of Sulfonyl Amidines

A small molecule, namely nitroacenaphthene, is reported for the first time as a recyclable visible-light photocatalyst for the construction of the C=N bond from sulfonyl azides and amines. This scalable, site-selective protocol provides a convenient way to access various sulfonyl amidines under mild conditions. Two reaction pathways are proposed, according to different transformation patterns.

Palladium-Catalyzed One-Pot Synthesis of N -Sulfonyl, N -Phosphoryl, and N -Acyl Guanidines

An efficient palladium-catalyzed cascade reaction of azides with isonitrile and amines is presented; it offers an alternative facile approach toward N -sulfonyl-, N -phosphoryl-, and N -acyl-functionalized guanidines in excellent yield. These series of substituted guanidines exhibit potential biological and pharmacological activities. In addition, the less reactive intermediate benzoyl carbodiimide could be isolated by silica gel column flash chromatography in moderate yield.

Iridium(III)-Catalyzed Selective and Mild C-H Amidation of Cyclic N-Sulfonyl Ketimines with Organic Azides

A general protocol for iridium catalyzed direct C?H amidation of cyclic N-sulfonyl ketimines using sulfonyl, acyl and aryl azides as nitrogen source is reported herein. The reaction takes place at room temperature with acyl and aryl azides, while an elevated temperature needed with sulfonyl azides to furnish aminated sultams in excellent yields with complete chemo and regioselectivity, thus providing a robust and environmentally benign process to the synthesis of aminosultams. (Figure presented.).

Synthesis of Sulfonyl Azides via Lewis Base Activation of Sulfonyl Fluorides and Trimethylsilyl Azide
