CdSe/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) can be used as stable and highly active photoredox catalysts for efficient transfer hydrogenation of imines to amines with thiophenol as a hydrogen atom donor. This reaction proceeds via a proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) from the QDs conduction band to the protonated imine followed by hydrogen atom transfer from the thiophenol to the α-aminoalkyl radical. This precious metal free transformation is easy to scale up and can be carried out by a one-pot protocol directly from aldehyde, amine, and thiophenol. Additional advantageous features of this protocol include a wide substrate scope, high yield of the amine products, extremely low catalyst loading (0.001 mol %), high turnover number (105), and the mild reaction conditions of using visible light or sun light at room temperature in neutral media.

A series of novel human enterovirus 71 inhibitors, N-benzyl-N-phenylthiophene-2-carboxamide analogues, were synthesized and their antiviral activities were evaluated in vitro. Most derivatives of this structure against EV71 had a low micromolar range in the RD (rhabdomyosarcoma) cell lines. The most potent compound 5a, N-(4-bromobenzyl)-N-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene-2-carboxamide, showed low micromolar activity against EV71 (EC50 = 1.42 μM) compared to the reference anti-EV71 drug enviroxime (EC50 = 0.15 μM). Preliminary SAR studies revealed that the thiophene-2-carboxamide core is crucial for maintaining antiviral activity, and N-substituent phenyl groups largely influenced the anti-EV71 efficacy of this new class of potent antiviral agents.

Different modifications of the imine - acyl chloride reaction were used for the synthesis of 3-mono- and 3,3-dihalogenated 1,4-diaryl substituted β-lactams. Furthermore, these β-lactams were modified by halogen substitution either at the aryl at position

13C NMR chemical shifts δc(C=N) were measured in CDCl 3 for a wide set of mesogenic molecule model compounds, viz. the substituted benzylidene anilines P-X-C6H4CH=NC 6H4-p-Y (X = NO2, CN, CF3, F, Cl, H, Me, MeO, or NMe2; Y = NO2, CN, F, Cl, H, Me, MeO, or NMe2). The substituent dependence of δc(C=N) was used as a tool to study electronic substituent effects on the azomethine unit. The benzylidene substituents X have a reverse effect on δc(C=N): electron-withdrawing substituents cause shielding, while electron-donating ones behave oppositely, the inductive effects clearly predominating over the resonance effects. In contrast, the aniline substituents Y exert normal effects: electron-withdrawing substituents cause deshielding, while electron-donating ones cause shielding of the C=N carbon, the strengths of the inductive and resonance effects being closely similar. Additionally, the presence of a specific cross-interaction between X and Y could be verified. The electronic effects of the neighboring aromatic ring substituents systematically modify the sensitivity of the C=N group to the electronic effects of the benzylidene or aniline ring substituents. Electron-withdrawing substituents on the aniline ring decrease the sensitivity of δc(C=N) to the substitution on the benzylidine ring, while electron-donating substituents have the opposite effect. In contrast, electron-withdrawing substituents on the benzylidene ring increase the sensitivity of δc(C=N) to the substituent on the aniline ring, while electron-donating substituents act in the opposite way. These results can be rationalized in terms of the substituent-sensitive balance of the electron delocalization (mesomeric effects). The present NMR characteristics are discussed as regards the computational literature data. Valuable information has been obtained on the effects of the substituents on the molecular core of the mesogenic model compounds.
