Novel N-hydroxybenzamide-based HDAC inhibitors with branched CAP group

Ongoing effort to gather further knowledge about the structural requirements on histone deacetylase inhibitors led to the synthesis of novel N-hydroxybenzamide-based HDAC inhibitors 1a-o, introducing branched hydrophobic groups at the capping group, and t

A practical synthesis of α-bromo/iodo/chloroketones from olefins under visible-light irradiation conditions

A practical synthesis of α-bromo/iodo/chloroketones from olefins under visible-light irradiation conditions has been developed. In the presence of PhI(OAc)2 as promoter and under ambient conditions, the reactions of styrenes and triiodomethane undergo the transformation smoothly to deliver the corresponding α-iodoketones without additional photocatalyst in good yields under sunlight irradiation. Meanwhile, the reactions of styrenes with tribromomethane and trichloromethane generate the desired α-bromoketones and α-chloroketones in high yields by using Ru(bpy)3Cl2 as a photocatalyst under blue LED (450–455 nm) irradiation.

Iodine-DMSO-promoted divergent reactivities of arylacetylenes

An unprecedented set of efficient, economical, atom-economic and exceedingly selective I2-DMSO-promoted methods is described for the generation of different structures. The reaction represents the first of its kind, involving the use of different iodine concentrations, temperatures, acids and salt to adjust the selectivity for the synthesis of different alkenes, α-functionalized ketones and α-ketomethylthioesters.
