A novel and efficient protocol for chemoselective deacetylation under ambient conditions was developed using catalytic KMnO4. The stoichiometric use of KMnO4 highlighted the dual role of a heterogeneous oxidant enabling direct access to aromatic aldehydes in one-pot sequential deacetylation-oxidation. The reaction employed an alternative solvent system and allowed the clean transformation of benzyl acetate to sensitive aldehyde in a single step while preventing over-oxidation to acids. Use of inexpensive and readily accessible KMnO4 as an environmentally benign reagent and the ease of the reaction operation were particularly attractive, and enabled the controlled oxidation and facile cleavage of acetate in a preceding step.

Human sirtuin 2 (SIRT2) plays pivotal roles in multiple biological processes such as cell cycle regulation, autophagy, immune and inflammatory responses. Dysregulation of SIRT2 was considered as a main aspect contributing to several human diseases, including cancer. Development of new potent and selective SIRT2 inhibitors is currently desirable, which may provide a new strategy for treatment of related diseases. Herein, a structure-based optimization approach led to new 2-((4,6-dimethylpyrimidin-2-yl)thio)-N-phenylacetamide derivatives as SIRT2 inhibitors. SAR analyses with new synthesized derivatives revealed a number of new potent SIRT2 inhibitors, among which 28e is the most potent inhibitor with an IC50 value of 42?nM. The selectivity analyses found that 28e has a very good selectivity to SIRT2 over SIRT1 and SIRT3. In cellular assays, 28e showed a potent ability to inhibit human breast cancer cell line MCF-7 and increase the acetylation of α-tubulin in a dose-dependent manner. This study will aid further efforts to develop highly potent and selective SIRT2 inhibitors for the treatment of cancer and other related diseases.
Tetrabutyl ammonium bromide-mediated benzylation of phenols in water under mild condition

Benzylation of phenol was successfully achieved in water under room temperature mediated by tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) for only 2 h affording the corresponding benzyl phenyl ether with good to excellent yields. This protocol is very efficient, simple, avoiding catalysts, easy to work-up after reaction, and especially 'green'.
