Catalytic Asymmetric (3 + 3) Cycloaddition of Oxyallyl Zwitterions with α-Diazomethylphosphonates

The unique structure of oxyallyls represents a significant challenge for their catalytic asymmetric applications. Herein, an unprecedented chiral imidodiphosphoric acid-catalytic enantioselective (3 + 3) cycloaddition between oxyallyl zwitterions generate

Photoredox-Catalyzed Dehydrogenative Csp3-Csp2Cross-Coupling of Alkylarenes to Aldehydes in Flow

Executing photoredox reactions in flow offers solutions to frequently encountered issues regarding reproducibility, reaction time, and scale-up. Here, we report the transfer of a photoredox-catalyzed benzylic coupling of alkylarenes to aldehydes to a flow chemistry setting leading to improvements in terms of higher concentration, shorter residence times, better yields, ease of catalyst preparation, and enhanced substrate scope. Its applicability has been demonstrated by a multi-gram-scale reaction using high-power light-emitting diodes (LEDs), late-stage functionalization of selected active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and also a photocatalyst recycling method.

Tetraaryl Cyclopentadienones: Experimental and Theoretical Insights into Negative Solvatochromism and Electrochemistry

The synthesis of a series of tetraaryl cyclopentadienones comprising different substitution patterns is reported. Their photophysical and electrochemical properties are investigated by UV/Vis spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry as well as by supporting quantum chemical simulations and reveal a distinct effect of substituents on the redox behavior of the molecules as well as the absorption properties of this class of compounds. While electrochemical data display a shift in reduction potential of up to 200 mV between the differently substituted cyclopentadienones, their photophysical investigations in differently polar solvents suggest a negative solvatochromic effect, although protic solvents induce a bathochromic shift. Crystal structure analyses of some derivatives confirm similarity with related cyclopentadienones while providing insight into intermolecular C–H···O and C–H···π interactions in the solid state.

Spatially controlled surface immobilization of nonmodified peptides

A phencyclone derivative is used to achieve light-controlled immobilization of peptides possessing only natural amino acids. The photoactive precursor (blue in picture) is formed in a Diels-Alder reaction and can undergo light-triggered ring-opening reactions with amines. Successful surface patterning with a genuine c(RGDfK) peptide (green) is evidenced by imaging time-of-flight secondary-ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS). Copyright

Synthesis of acyclic ketones by catalytic, bidirectional homologation of formaldehyde with nonstabilized diazoalkanes. Application of a chiral diazomethyl(pyrrolidine) in total syntheses of erythroxylon alkaloids

This work offers a catalytic approach to convergent ketone assembly based upon formal and tandem C-H insertion of diazoalkanes in the presence of limiting amounts of monomeric formaldehyde, which is easily generated as a gas by thermolysis of the inexpensive and abundant paraformaldehyde (～30 USD/kg). The method forms di-, tri-, and even tetrasubstituted acetones with high efficiency, and it has streamlined a synthesis of (-)-dihydrocuscohygrine in which the absolute stereochemistry of a proline-based starting material is preserved. Assisted by the advent of new protocols for hydrazone oxidation, we also provide full details on handling non-carbonyl-stabilized diazo compounds.

Tuning of the electronic properties of a cyclopentadienylruthenium catalyst to match racemization of electron-rich and electron-deficient alcohols

The synthesis of a new series of cyclopentadienylruthenium catalysts with varying electronic properties and their application in racemization of secondary alcohols are described. These racemizations involve two key steps: 1) β-hydride elimination (dehydrogenation) and 2) re-addition of the hydride to the intermediate ketone. The results obtained confirm our previous theory that the electronic properties of the substrate determine which of these two steps is rate determining. For an electron-deficient alcohol the rate-determining step is the β-hydride elimination (dehydrogenation), whereas for an electron-rich alcohol the re-addition of the hydride becomes the rate-determining step. By matching the electronic properties of the catalyst with the electronic properties of the alcohol, we have now shown that a dramatic increase in racemization rate can be obtained. For example, electron-deficient alcohol 15 racemized 30 times faster with electron-deficient catalyst 6 than with the unmodified standard catalyst 4. The application of these protocols will extend the scope of cyclopentadienylruthenium catalysts in racemization and dynamic kinetic resolution. Copyright

Synthesis and serotonin transporter activity of 1,3-bis(aryl)-2-nitro-1- propenes as a new class of anticancer agents

Structural derivatives of 4-MTA, an illegal amphetamine analogue have been previously shown to have anticancer effects in vitro. In this study we report the synthesis of a series of novel 1,3-bis(aryl)-2-nitro-1-propene derivatives related in structure to 4-MTA. A number of these compounds containing a classic nitrostyrene structure are shown to have antiproliferative activities in vitro in a range of malignant cell lines, particularly against Burkitt's lymphoma derived cell lines, whilst having no effect on 'normal' peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Such effects appear to be independent of the serotonin transporter, a high affinity target for amphetamines and independent of protein tyrosine phosphatases and tubulin dynamics both of which have been previously associated with nitrostyrene-induced cell death. We demonstrate that a number of these compounds induce caspase activation, PARP cleavage, chromatin condensation and membrane blebbing in a Burkitt's lymphoma derived cell line, consistent with these compounds inducing apoptosis in vitro. Although no specific target has yet been identified for the action of these compounds, the cell death elicited is potent, selective and worthy of further investigation.
