Today, there are no medicines to treat enterovirus and rhinovirus infections. In the present study, a series of novel pleconaril derivatives with substitutions in the isoxazole and phenyl rings was synthesized and evaluated for their antiviral activity against a panel of pleconaril-sensitive and -resistant enteroviruses. Studies of the structure-activity relationship demonstrate the crucial role of the N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl group in the isoxazole ring for antiviral activity against pleconaril-resistant viruses. In addition, one or two substituents in the phenyl ring directly impact on the spectrum of antienteroviral activity. The 3-(3-methyl-4-(3-(3-N,N-dimethylcarbamoyl-isoxazol-5-yl)propoxy)phenyl)-5-trifluoromethyl-1,2,4-oxadiazole 10g was among the compounds exhibiting the strongest activity against pleconaril-resistant as well as pleconaril-susceptible enteroviruses with IC50 values from 0.02 to 5.25 μM in this series. Compound 10g demonstrated markedly less CYP3A4 induction than pleconaril, was non-mutagenic, and was bioavailable after intragastric administration in mice. These results highlight compound 10g as a promising potential candidate as a broad spectrum enterovirus and rhinovirus inhibitor for further preclinical investigations.

A novel approach to the Cu-catalyzed cyanation of simple arenes using acetonitrile as an attractive cyano source has been documented. The C-H functionalization of arenes without directing groups involves a sequential iodination/cyanation to give the desired aromatic nitriles in good yields. A highly efficient Cu/TEMPO system for acetonitrile C-CN bond cleavage has been discovered. TEMPO is used as a cheap oxidant and enables the reaction to be catalytic in copper. Moreover, TEMPOCH2CN 6 has been identified as the active cyanating agent and shows high reactivity for forming the -CN moiety.
Mechanistic insight into the formal [1,3]-migration in the thermal claisen rearrangement

The thermal formal [1,3]-sigmatropic shift of allyl aryl ethers has been studied in depth experimentally with the aid of the density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the B3LYP function. Three mechanistic possibilities, referred to as the radical, ionic, and concerted mechanisms, have previously been put forth to explain the thermal [1,3]-rearrangement process. However, the intercrossing and radical trapping experiments indicate the rearrangement is an intramolecular process. The computational studies reveal that the concerted C[1,3]-sigmatropic shift suffered from a higher energetic barrier to allow the rearrangement to proceed under the conditions used. However, a tandem O[1,3]-sigmatropic shift with a configuration inversion of the oxygen atom and [3,3]-sigmatropic shift (the Claisen rearrangement) is the most likely pathway for the formal [1,3] rearrangement. Furthermore, the rearrangement experiments with a designed optically active substrate and O[1,3]-sigmatropic shift examples verify the new cascade rearrangement. In addition, computational and experimental studies indicate that water molecule assists the proton shift during the isomerization. The combined methods provide the new insight into the mechanism of the thermal formal [1,3]-migration in the Claisen rearrangement and the novel O[1,3]-sigmatropic shift as well.
