A saccharinate-bridged palladacyclic dimer with a Pd-Pd bond: Experimental and molecular docking studies of the interaction with DNA and BSA and in vitro cytotoxicity against human cancer cell lines

A new palladacyclic dimer [Pd2((C,N)L)2(μ-Sac)2] (1), in which L: C14H11NBr and sac: the saccharinate ligand, has been synthesized and completely characterized. X-ray crystallography has been used to determine the single crystal structure of this Pd(ii) complex. In this dimer, two palladium(ii) centers are bridged by a saccharinate anion, which is coordinated to the cyclopalladated units as a bidentate (N- and carbonyl O-atoms) ligand. According to DNA binding studies (UV-Vis spectroscopy, emission titration and viscosity measurements), the Pd(ii) complex interacts with calf-thymus DNA (CT-DNA) through a groove binding mode with a binding affinity on the order of 105. Furthermore, UV-Vis and fluorescence emission spectroscopy have been used to monitor the binding of the complex to bovine serum albumin (BSA). The complex is mainly located in site I of the protein, based on the competitive experiments using Warfarin, Ibuprofen and Digoxin as site markers. The results of molecular docking confirmed the experimental data. Finally, the in vitro cytotoxicity of sodium saccharin, ligand LH (C14H12NBr), complex 1 and cisplatin against cervical cancer (HeLa), lung cancer (A549) and breast cancer (MCF-7) cell lines has been studied. The complexation process has significantly improved the anticancer activity, as the IC50 values show. Furthermore, complex 1 has been tested against NIH normal fibroblast cells. Therefore, based on the SI definition, 1 can be assigned as a selective compound against cancer cells.

Half-Sandwich Ruthenium Complexes Bearing Hemilabile κ2-(C,S)?Thioether-Functionalized NHC Ligands: Application to Amide Synthesis from Alcohol and Amine

Amide synthesis is one of the most crucial transformations in chemistry and biology. Among various catalytic systems, N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-based ruthenium (Ru) catalyst systems have been proven to be active for direct synthesis of amides by sustainable acceptorless dehydrogenative Coupling of primary alcohols with amines. Most often, these catalytic systems usually use monodentate NHC and thus require an additional ligand to obtain high reactivity and selectivity. In this work, a series of cationic Ru(II)(η6-p-cymene) complexes with thioether-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligands (imidazole and benzimidazole-based) have been prepared and fully characterized. These complexes have then been used in the amidation reaction and the most promising one (i. e. 3 c) has been applied on a large range of substrates. High conversions albeit with moderate yields have generally been obtained.

Nickel Complexes Bearing N,N,O-Tridentate Salicylaldiminato Ligand: Efficient Catalysts for Imines Formation via Dehydrogenative Coupling of Primary Alcohols with Amines

Treatment of salicylaldiminato ligand L1H-L2H (L1H = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-((quinolin-8-ylimino)methyl)phenol; L2H = 2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(((2-(diethylamino)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol) with Ni(OAc)2·4H2O in refluxing ethanol afforded nickel complexes [(L1)Ni(OAc)] (1) and [(L2)Ni(OAc)] (2), respectively. Reaction of L3H (L3H = (2,4-di-tert-butyl-6-(((2-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl)imino)methyl)phenol)) with Ni(OAc)2·4H2O in the presence of excess triethylanmine gave the dual ligands coordinated nickel complex [(L2)2Ni] (3). Complexes 1-3 were well characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and X-ray diffraction analysis. All the three Ni(II) complexes exhibited efficient activity and good selectivity in the acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling of alcohols and amines to produce imines and diimines. The present protocol provides an atom-economical and sustainable route for the synthesis of various imine derivatives by employing an earth-abundant nickel salt and easily prepared salicylaldiminato ligands.

Enantioselective Reductive Cyanation and Phosphonylation of Secondary Amides by Iridium and Chiral Thiourea Sequential Catalysis

The combination of transition-metal catalysis and organocatalysis increasingly offers chemists opportunities to realize diverse unprecedented chemical transformations. By combining iridium with chiral thiourea catalysis, direct enantioselective reductive cyanation and phosphonylation of secondary amides have been accomplished for the first time for the synthesis of enantioenriched chiral α-aminonitriles and α-aminophosphonates. The protocol is highly efficient and enantioselective, providing a novel route to the synthesis of optically active α-functionalized amines from the simple, readily available feedstocks. In addition, the reactions are scalable and the thiourea catalyst can be recycled and reused.

Efficient Co-Catalyzed Double Hydroboration of Nitriles: Application to One-Pot Conversion of Nitriles to Aldimines

The commercially available and bench-stable Co(acac)2/dpephos system is employed as a precatalyst for selective and efficient room temperature hydroboration of organic nitriles with HBPin to produce a series of N,N-diborylamines [RN(BPin)2], which react in situ with aldehydes to give aldimines. Formation of aldimines from N,N-diborylamines does not require a dehydrating agent, is applicable to a wide range of N,N-diborylamine and aldehyde substrates and is highly chemoselective, being unaffected by various common functional groups, such as alkenes, alkynes, secondary amines, ketones, esters, amides, carboxylic acids, pyridines, nitriles, and nitro compounds. The overall transformation represents a synthetically valuable approach to aldimines from nitriles and can be performed in a sequential one-pot manner, tolerating ester, lactone, carboxamide and unactivated alkene functionalities.

Electrochemical, Iodine-Mediated α-CH Amination of Ketones by Umpolung of Silyl Enol Ethers

The electrochemical, oxidative Umpolung reaction of silyl enol ethers utilizing simple iodide salts for the synthesis of α-amino ketones is described. The products were isolated in excellent yields of up to 100percent, and various functionalized starting materials were accepted in an undivided electrochemical cell design. Moreover, a sensitivity assessment to ensure an improved reproducibility of the reaction and cyclic voltammetry experiments were performed to postulate a plausible reaction mechanism on their basis.

Bi-functional catalyst of porous N-doped carbon with bimetallic FeCu for solvent-free resultant imines and hydrogenation of nitroarenes

The efficient and stable catalyst applied to the transformation of amines into the corresponding imines and hydrogenation of nitroarenes under mild reaction conditions is reported. The catalytic performance of porous N-doped carbon with FeCu (FeCu@NPC) catalyst are tested by aromatic alcohol-based N-alkylated of amines with solvent-free and hydrogenation of nitroarenes via N2H4·H2O. The results proved that the yield of these two reactions are all over 99.9% under optimum condition. Moreover, the synergistic effect of the catalyst for N-alkylated reaction was investigated through the kinetic study. The catalyst can be easily separated from reaction system by an external magnetism, and can be recycled and reutilized for at least 4 runs with conversions are all over 75%. The study of the catalyst indicated that it was suitable for the reactions in industry. Hence, the catalysis process by the inexpensive metals-based catalyst is green and sustainable.

Catalytic Assessment of Copper(I) Complexes and a Polymer Analog towards the One-Pot Synthesis of Imines and Quinoxalines

Three copper(I) complexes, [CuCl(L)(PPh3)2] [L = FL (1), BL (2) or TL (3)] were prepared from [(PPh3)2Cu(μ-Cl)2Cu(PPh3)] and N-carbamothioylfuran-2-carboxamide (FL), N-carbamothioylbenzamide (BL) or N-carbamothioylthiophene-2-carboxamide (TL) ligands in benzene and four-coordinated tetrahedral copper complexes were well characterized by various spectroscopic techniques (UV/Vis, FT-IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and 31P NMR). The molecular structure of the ligands (FL and BL) and complexes was established from single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. Copper complexes have been shown to catalyse the one-pot synthesis of imines and quinoxalines. Heterogenized catalyst (4) was prepared by reacting more active complex 3 with polystyrene supported triphenylphosphane, and characterized by elemental analyses, and DRS-UV, FT-IR, ICP-OES, and solid-state NMR techniques. Catalytic activity of the complexes (3 and 4) was tested in the formation of imines from alcohols and amines, and quinoxalines from hydroxy ketones and diamines. Heterogeneity and reusability of catalyst 4 were evaluated, and the catalyst can be reused for four runs without any loss in activity.

Activation of primary amines by copper(i)-based lewis acid promoters in the solventless synthesis of secondary propargylamines

Primary amines are activated by copper(I)-based Lewis acid promoters in an A 3 -coupling one-pot solventless reaction with aldehydes and phenylacetylene for the synthesis of secondary propargylamines. The reaction is promoted by a CuSO 4 /NaI system, a practical precursor of the in situ generated effective CuI/I 2 system, that worked well, but only in a restricted number of examples. Substitution of I 2 with CeCl 3 ·7H 2 O in a one-pot two-step reaction provided good yields and a wider applicability, with the added value given by a safer procedure.

One-Pot Reductive Allylation of Amides by Using a Combination of Titanium Hydride and an Allylzinc Reagent: Application to a Total Synthesis of (-)-Castoramine

A one-pot direct reductive allylation protocol has been developed for the synthesis of secondary amines by using titanium hydride and an allylzinc reagent. This protocol is applicable to a broad range of substrates, including acyclic amides, benzamides, α,β-unsaturated amides, and lactams. The stereochemical outcome obtained from the reaction with crotylzinc reagent suggested that the allylation reaction proceeds through a six-membered cyclic transition state. A total synthesis of (-)-castoramine was accomplished by following this protocol for the highly stereoselective construction of contiguous stereocenters.
