Visible-Light-Promoted Iron-Catalyzed N-Arylation of Dioxazolones with Arylboronic Acids

A visible-light-promoted and simple iron salt-catalyzed N-arylation was achieved efficiently under external photosensitizer-free conditions. Arylboronic acids and bench-stable dioxazolones were used for this cross-coupling reaction. This reaction features high reactivity, wide substrate scope, good functional group tolerance, simple operation procedure, and mild reaction conditions. Preliminary mechanistic investigations were conducted to support a radical pathway. This method may contribute to shift the paradigm of iron-catalyzed C-N bond construction and nitrene transfer chemistry.

Discovery of Novel Thiophene-arylamide Derivatives as DprE1 Inhibitors with Potent Antimycobacterial Activities

In this study, we report the design and synthesis of a series of novel thiophene-arylamide compounds derived from the noncovalent decaprenylphosphoryl-β-d-ribose 2′-epimerase (DprE1) inhibitor TCA1 through a structure-based scaffold hopping strategy. Systematic optimization of the two side chains flanking the thiophene core led to new lead compounds bearing a thiophene-arylamide scaffold with potent antimycobacterial activity and low cytotoxicity. Compounds 23j, 24f, 25a, and 25b exhibited potent in vitro activity against both drug-susceptible (minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) = 0.02-0.12 μg/mL) and drug-resistant (MIC = 0.031-0.24 μg/mL) tuberculosis strains while retaining potent DprE1 inhibition (half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) = 0.2-0.9 μg/mL) and good intracellular antimycobacterial activity. In addition, these compounds showed good hepatocyte stability and low inhibition of the human ether-à-go-go related gene (hERG) channel. The representative compound 25a with acceptable pharmacokinetic property demonstrated significant bactericidal activity in an acute mouse model of tuberculosis. Moreover, the molecular docking study of template compound 23j provides new insight into the discovery of novel antitubercular agents targeting DprE1.

Iodine-mediated aryl transfer reaction from arylhydrazine hydrochlorides to nitriles

An iodine-promoted, metal-, base-, and solvent-free cross-coupling reaction was developed for the synthesis of various useful secondary amides via an aryl N-addition reaction of aryl groups to cyano groups. This aryl transfer reaction proceeds with arylhydrazine hydrochlorides serving as the aryl donors. A labelling experiment shows that the N atom in the product comes from the cyano group of the nitriles, which are low in cost. A plausible radical-driven mechanism is also proposed.

Rhodium-Catalyzed Synthesis of Amides from Functionalized Blocked Isocyanates

Isocyanates are useful building blocks for the synthesis of amides, although their widespread use has been limited by their high reactivity, which often results in poor functional group tolerance and a propensity to oligomerize. Herein, a rhodium-catalyzed synthesis of amides is described coupling boroxines with blocked (masked) isocyanates. The success of the reaction hinges on the ability to form both the isocyanate and the organorhodium intermediates in situ. Relying on masked isocyanate precursors and on the high reactivity of the organorhodium intermediate results in broad functional group tolerance, including protic nucleophilic groups such as amines, anilines, and alcohols.

Clickable coupling of carboxylic acids and amines at room temperature mediated by SO2F2: A significant breakthrough for the construction of amides and peptide linkages

The construction of amide bonds and peptide linkages is one of the most fundamental transformations in all life processes and organic synthesis. The synthesis of structurally ubiquitous amide motifs is essential in the assembly of numerous important molecules such as peptides, proteins, alkaloids, pharmaceutical agents, polymers, ligands and agrochemicals. A method of SO2F2-mediated direct clickable coupling of carboxylic acids with amines was developed for the synthesis of a broad scope of amides in a simple, mild, highly efficient, robust and practical manner (>110 examples, >90% yields in most cases). The direct click reactions of acids and amines on a gram scale are also demonstrated using an extremely easy work-up and purification process of washing with 1 M aqueous HCl to provide the desired amides in greater than 99% purity and excellent yields.

Inhibitory selectivity among class I HDACs has a major impact on inflammatory gene expression in macrophages

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play an important role in cancer, degenerative diseases and inflammation. The currently applied HDAC inhibitors in the clinic lack selectivity among HDAC isoforms, which limits their application for novel indications such as i

A Cross-Coupling Approach to Amide Bond Formation from Esters

A palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling between aryl esters and anilines is reported, enabling access to diverse amides. The reaction takes place via activation of the C-O bond by oxidative addition with a Pd-NHC complex, which enables the use of relatively non-nucleophilic anilines that otherwise require stoichiometric activation with strong bases in order to react. High yields of aromatic, aliphatic, and heterocyclic products are obtained. A range of activated esters are evaluated in the presence and absence of catalyst, demonstrating that the catalytic methodology substantially increases the types of electrophiles that can be utilized for amide bond formation in the absence of harsh bases.

Pd-PEPPSI: A general Pd-NHC precatalyst for Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling of esters and amides (transamidation) under the same reaction conditions

Amides are of fundamental interest in many fields of chemistry involving organic synthesis, chemical biology and biochemistry. Here, we report the first catalytic Buchwald-Hartwig coupling of both common esters and amides by highly selective C(acyl)-X (X = O, N) cleavage to rapidly access aryl amide functionality via a cross-coupling strategy. Reactions are promoted by versatile, easily prepared, well-defined Pd-PEPPSI type precatalysts, and proceed in good to excellent yields and with excellent chemoselectivity for the acyl bond cleavage. The method is user friendly because it employs commercially-available, moisture- and air-stable precatalysts. Notably, for the first time we demonstrate selective C(acyl)-N and C(acyl)-O cleavage/Buchwald-Hartwig amination under the same reaction conditions, which allows for streamlining amide synthesis by avoiding restriction to a particular acyl metal precursor. Of broad interest, this study opens the door to using a family of well-defined Pd(ii)-NHC precatalysts bearing pyridine "throw-away" ligands for the selective C(acyl)-amination of bench-stable carboxylic acid derivatives.

Hypervalent Iodine(III)-Promoted Phenyl Transfer Reaction from Phenyl Hydrazides to Nitriles

A useful transformation of nitriles to N-phenyl amides has been achieved through a novel intermolecular phenyl transfer reaction from phenyl hydrazides and N-addition to nitriles in the presence of PIFA under mild and solvent-free conditions. This cross-coupling reaction includes the oxidative cleavage of sp2 C-N bonds of phenyl hydrazides to form a phenyl radical and the subsequent N-addition to cyanos to form new sp2 C-N bonds and provides efficient access to various N-phenyl amides in moderate to good yields under mild reaction conditions.

Peroxide-mediated direct synthesis of amides from aroyl surrogates

An efficient and metal-free method has been developed for the direct synthesis of amides from readily available azobenzenes reacting with aroyl surrogates such as alcohols, methylarenes. A variety of amides were afforded in moderate to good yields through this reaction. It is another example reported by our group for the use of azobenzene as the new radical acceptor.
