An efficient and halogen-free catalytic methodology for the synthesis of β-amino alcohols from aromatic amines and biomass-derived carbohydrates is demonstrated for the first time. The activation of C5/C6 sugars by a ruthenium catalyst selectively generates the C2 alkylating reagent glycolaldehyde. The transformation involves metal-catalyzed hydrogen borrowing for the reduction of the imine intermediate. A series of arylamines bearing various substituents were successfully transformed into the desired products in good to excellent yields.

The use of Pd-, Rh(II)- and Ru(II)-based catalysts has been explored in the transition metal-catalysed intramolecular carbenoid C?H insertion of α-diazoesters leading to pyrrolidines. Although the outcome of the reaction was highly substrate-dependent, in general, it was possible to control the chemoselectivity of the process towards pyrrolidines by adequate catalyst selection. The Pd(0)-catalysts were as efficient as [Rh(Ph3CCO2)2]2 in promoting the C(sp3)?H insertion of ortho-substituted anilines. In contrast, for anilines bearing meta- and para-substituents, the Rh(II)-catalyst provided the best chemoselectivities and reaction yields. On the other hand, [Ru(p-cymene)Cl2]2 was the most efficient catalyst for the insertion reaction of the N-benzyl-N-phenyl and N,N-dibenzyl α-diazoesters, while the C(sp3)?H insertion of the N-benzylsulfonamide substrate was only promoted by [Rh(Ph3CCO2)2]2. According to density functional theory (DFT) calculations, the mechanism involved in the Pd(0)- and Ru(II)-catalysed C(sp3)?H insertions differs considerably from that typically proposed for the Rh(II)-catalysed transformation. Whereas the Pd(0)-catalysed reaction involves a Pd-mediated 1,5-H migration from the C(sp3)?H bond to the carbenoid carbon atom leading to the formal oxidation of the transition metal, a Ru(II)-promoted Mannich type reaction involving a zwitterionic intermediate seems to be operative in the Ru(II)-catalysed transformation.

This study explores the possible use of reactive oxygen-activated DNA modifying agents against acute myeloid leukemia (AML). A key amine on the lead agent was investigated via cytotoxicity assays and was found necessary for potency. The two best compounds were screened via the NCI-60 cell panel. These two compounds had potency between 200 and 800 nM against many of the leukemia cancer cell types. Subsequent experiments explored activity against a transformed AML model that mimics the molecular signatures identified in primary AML patient samples. A lead compound had an IC50 of 760 nM against this AML cell line as well as a therapeutic index of 7.7 ± 3 between the transformed AML model cell line and non-cancerous human CD34+ blood stem/progenitor cells (UCB). The selectivity was much greater than the mainstays of AML treatment: doxorubicin and cytarabine. This manuscript demonstrates that this novel type of agent may be useful against AML.

The ease with which α-chloroacetanilide herbicides undergo displacement reactions with strong nucleophiles, and their recalcitrance toward weak ones, is intimately related to their herbicidal properties and environmental chemistry. In this study, we investigate the kinetics and mechanisms of nucleophilic substitution reactions of propachlor and alachlor in aqueous solution. The role played by the α-amide group was examined by including several structurally related analogs of propachlor possessing modified α substituents. The overall second-order nature of the reaction, the negative ΔS? values, the weak influence of ionic strength on reactivity, and structure-reactivity trends together support an intermolecular SN2 mechanism rather than an intramolecular reaction for α-chlomacetanilides as well as the a-chlorothioacetanilide analog of propachlor. In contrast, the α-methylene analog exhibits kinetics and a salt effect consistent with anchimeric assistance by the aniline nitrogen. Electronic interactions with the α-anilide substituent, rather than neighboring group participation, can be inferred to govern the reactivity of α-chloroacetanilides toward nucleophiles.
