It was determined that diaryliodonium(III) triflates bearing a trimethoxybenzene (TMP) auxiliary are more reactive than the reported selective aryl-transfer iodonium salts in the N-arylation of benzimidazoles and other types of azole compounds under catalytic conditions. The TMP-iodonium(III) salts can thus effectively facilitate the reaction at 50 °C or below, producing the corresponding N-arylated biaryls without the formation of TMP-derived coupling byproducts. Utilization of this TMP reagent under mild conditions would prevent the underlying problem of participation of the auxiliary group in the coupling reactions, which is observed while using the iodonium(III) salts that require elevated temperatures.

We performed a biochemical screen against mTOR using in-house small molecule library. Two novel, structurally distinct hits were identified. Among them, a novel oxadiazole scaffold compound (2) suppressed the phosphorylation of both S6K1 and Akt1 in HeLa cells. Docking study suggested that 2 is ATP-competitive and shows a pi-pi interaction with Trp2239 and hydrogen bonds with Trp2239 and Thr2245. Through derivatization, a slightly more potent analogue (2a) was identified with IC50 of 9.6 μM. Our study provides a starting point for discovery of novel potent mTOR inhibitors.
