Nitrogen-centered radicals have attracted increasing attention as a versatile reactive intermediate for diverse C–N bond constructions. Despite the significant advances achieved in this realm, the controllable formation of such species under catalyst-free conditions remains highly challenging. Here, we report a new relay process involving the slow in situ generation of a photoactive N-chloro species via C–N bond formation, which subsequently enables mild and selective access to N-centered radicals under visible light conditions. The utility of this approach is demonstrated by the conversion of aldehydes to amides, employing N-chloro-N-sodio carbamates as a practical amidating source. This synthetic operation obviates the need for catalysts, external oxidants, and coupling reagents that are typically required in related processes, consequently allowing high functional group tolerance and excellent applicability for late-stage functionalization. Amides are an important class of structural motifs prevalently found in bioactive compounds and synthetic materials of great significance. Amidation of aldehydes has been established as an atom-efficient strategy for amide synthesis; however, current methods lack in applicability mainly due to the requirement of troublesome reagents. In this article, we describe an unconventional relay process to convert aldehydes to amides under catalyst-, oxidant-, and coupling-reagent-free conditions, which is enabled by the development of a new mechanistic platform that gives efficient and controllable access to N-centered radicals under visible light. A wide range of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes can be employed, including those derived from biologically relevant complex molecules. We anticipate that the accomplished methodological advances, combined with the unique mechanistic features, will lead to the widespread application of the present strategy in broad research fields. A catalyst-free approach for controlled access to N-centered radicals is described, which enables the conversion of aldehydes to amides via an unconventional relay process harnessing visible light. The key tactic relies on the use of photostable N-chloro-N-sodio-carbamate amidating reagent that leads to slow incorporations of a photoactive radical source via C–N formation and other involved intermediates thereafter. This methodology displays excellent applicability and sustainable chemistry credentials and, thus, holds a promise for finding broad applications.

We describe a copper-mediated method that enables the synthesis of seven-membered-ring fused pyrroles (7-mrFPs). The protocol proceeds via an in situ spiro-intermediate ring expansion and tolerates a library of 7-mrFP derivatives with a broad range of functional groups in a simple step with tangible parameters and substrate adaptations. These rare 7-mrFPs are now accessible on a millimolar scale, and selected examples exhibit high antioxidant activity.

An efficient synthesis of primary carbamates and N-substituted ureas is explored with a newly developed heterogeneous polymer supported iron catalyst in the presence of a sustainable carbonylation source. The Merrifield anchored iron(ii)-anthra catalyst [FeII(Anthra-Merf)] was synthesized by functionalization of Merrifield polymer followed by grafting of iron metal. The catalyst [FeII(Anthra-Merf)] was characterized by several techniques, like SEM, EDAX, TGA, PXRD, XPS, FTIR, CHN, AAS and UV-Vis analysis. The designed polymer embedded [FeII(Anthra-Merf)] complex is a remarkably successful catalyst for the synthesis of primary organic carbamates and N-substituted ureas by using safe carbonylation agent urea with different derivatives of alcohols and amines, respectively. The reported catalyst is a potential candidate towards contributing a satisfactory yield of isolated products under suitable reaction conditions. The catalyst is recyclable and almost non-leaching in nature after six runs with an insignificant drop in catalytic activity. Thus we found an economical and viable catalyst [FeII(Anthra-Merf)] for primary carbamates and N-substituted urea synthesis under moderate reaction conditions.

Methods to selectively destroy mitochondria of tumor cells and induce cell apoptosis with nanomedicine constitute challenges in cancer therapy. In the present study, we develop cell membrane/mitochondria dual targeting and pH/redox dual responsive nanoparticles for mitochondrion therapy. The nanoparticles are fabricated by the self-assembly of triphenylphosphonium (TPP) grafted poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG)-poly(d,L-lactide)(PLA) copolymers (TPP-PEG-ss-PLA) using disulfide bonds as the intermediate linkers. To shield the surface positive charge of the nanoparticles from TPP composition, chondroitin sulfate (CS) is employed to coat the nanoparticles, and this prolongs blood circulation while endowing an active targeting ability to the cell membrane. In acidic lyso-somes/endosomes, the negatively charged CS layer falls away to expose the TPP component. Subsequently, in the cyto-plasm, the nanoparticles can anchor to the mitochondrial outer membrane by TPP-mediated targeting, thereby inducing a decrease in the membrane potential and opening of the permeability transition pore. Thus, the overproduction of ROS in the mitochondria promotes cell apoptosis. The released DOX directly diffuse into the mitochondria, thereby resulting in mito-chondrial DNA damage. Therefore, the nanoparticles exhibit significant potential in terms of a new avenue for mitochondrion therapy in cancer treatment.

An efficient, convenient and novel method for the selective mono N-arylation of primary O-alkyl thiocarbamates and primary O-alkyl carbamates with aryl halides and arylboronic acids in the presence of a recyclable magnetic Cu(ii) nanocatalyst is described. A variety of mono N-arylated O-alkyl thiocarbamates and O-alkyl carbamates were prepared in good to excellent yields with a broad range of aryl coupling partners. The magnetic nanocatalyst can be easily recovered with an external magnetic field and reused at least five times without noticeable leaching or loss of its catalytic activity. This cost-effective and eco-friendly methodology has some other advantages, such as easy preparation of the catalyst, simple workup procedure, and easy purification, which makes this protocol interesting for the users in various fields of pharmacology and biotechnology systems.

Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles were used to synthesize various primary carbamates as well as monosubstituted and N,N-disubstituted ureas. This efficient phosgene-free process used urea as an eco-friendly carbonyl source in the presence of a biocompatible deep eutectic solvent (DES) to provide an inexpensive and attractive route that afforded the products in moderate to excellent yields. The employed DES serves both a catalytic role and as the green reaction medium. The magnetic nanocatalyst and DES can been reused several times without a significant loss of activity.

Emerging applications in the field of chemical biology are currently limited by the lack of bioorthogonal reactions allowing both removal and linkage of chemical entities on complex biomolecules. We recently discovered a novel reaction between iminosydnones and strained alkynes leading to two products resulting from ligation and fragmentation of iminosydnones under physiological conditions. We now report the synthesis of a panel of substituted iminosydnones and the structure reactivity relationship between these compounds and strained alkyne partners. This study identified the most relevant substituents, which allow to increase the rate of the transformation and to develop a bifunctional cleavable linker with improved kinetics.

Abstract: An efficient, selective and cost-effective procedure has been developed for mono N-arylation of primary alkyl and benzyl carbamates with aryl iodides and bromides by incorporating CuI as an inexpensive and commercially available catalyst. Despite previous reports on C–N coupling reactions, this process does not need expensive ligands and takes advantage of readily available and inexpensive ethylenediamine (EDA) as the ligand. Reaction times were relatively short and related N-arylated carbamates were obtained in excellent yields. Interestingly, replacing CuI with Cu(OAc)2 allowed us to use arylboronic acids as coupling partner for this reaction. All products are well characterized by 1H- and 13C-NMR, MS, melting point, IR and CHNS techniques.

We report the discovery of a new bioorthogonal click-and-release reaction involving iminosydnones and strained alkynes. This transformation leads to two products resulting from the ligation and fragmentation of iminosydnones under physiological conditions. Optimized iminosydnones were successfully used to design innovative cleavable linkers for protein modification, thus opening up new areas in the fields of drug release and target-fishing applications. This click-and-release technology offers the possibility of exchanging tags on proteins for functionalized cyclooctynes under mild and bioorthogonal conditions.
