Anthranilic acids (AAs) are significant basic chemicals used in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, dyes, fragrances,etc. Superfluous steps are always involved in obtaining AAs. Herein, we demonstrate a straightforward strategy to transform abundanto-nitrotoluenes into biologically and pharmaceutically significant AAs without any extra reductants, oxidants and protecting groups. Various sensitive groups, such as halogens, sulfide, aldehyde, pyridines, quinolines,etc., can be tolerated in this transformation. A hundred-gram-scale operation is realized efficiently with almost quantitative selenium recycling. Further mechanistic studies and DFT calculations disclosed the proposed atom-exchange processes and the key roles of the selenium species.

Paragraph 0019; 0025, (2021/07/08)
The invention discloses a synthesis process of 2-methoxy-6-methylbenzoic acid, which comprises the following steps: (1) reduction hydrogenation reaction: by taking 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic acid or methyl 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoate as a raw material, methanol as a solvent, hydrogen as a hydrogen source and palladium on carbon or platinum on carbon as a catalyst, carrying out hydrogenation reduction to prepare 2-amino-6-methylbenzoic acid or methyl 2-amino-6-methylbenzoate; (2) diazotization, hydrolysis and esterification one-pot reaction: by taking the reduction product as a raw material, and methanol as a solvent, performing diazotization, hydrolysis and esterification reaction under the action of a diazotization reagent to prepare methyl 2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzoate; (3) methylation reaction: with methyl 2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzoate as a raw material and dimethyl sulfate as a methylation reagent, carrying out methylation reaction in the presence of alkali to prepare methyl 2-methoxy-6-methylbenzoate; and (4) hydrolysis reaction: mixing the methyl 2-methoxy-6-methylbenzoate with alkali and water, conducting heating for hydrolysis, conducting cooling after the reaction is completed, adjusting the pH value to 1-3 by using acid, separating out a product, and conducting filtering and drying to obtain the 2-methoxy-6-methylbenzoic acid.

Five series of metabolically stable disubstituted dibenzo[b,e]oxepin-11(6H) -ones were synthesized and tested in a p38α enzyme assay for their inhibition of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) release in human whole blood. Compared to the monosubstituted dibenzo[b,e]oxepin-11(6H)-one derivatives, it has been shown that the additional introduction of hydrophilic residues at position 9 leads to a substantial improvement of the inhibitory potency and metabolic stability. Using protein X-ray crystallography, the binding mode of the disubstituted dibenzoxepinones and the induction of a glyince flip in the hinge region were confirmed. The most potent compound of this series, 32e, shows an outstanding biological activity on isolated p38α, with an IC50 value of 1.6 nM, extraordinary selectivity (by a factor >1000, Kinase WholePanelProfiler), and low ATP competitiveness. The ability to inhibit the release of TNF-α from human whole blood was optimized down to an IC50 value of 125 nM. With the promising dibenzoxepinone inhibitor 3i, a pharmacokinetic study in mice was conducted.
