In this paper, selective cleavage and tunable functionalization of the inert C-C/C-N bonds in N-arylpiperidines promoted by tBuONO under metal-free conditions is presented. To be specific, when the reaction was run in acetonitrile in the presence of molecular sieves, the synthetically useful acyclic N-formyl nitriles are formed. On the other hand, when alcohol was used as the reaction medium, the corresponding reactions afforded N-nitroso chain esters as dominating products via a mechanistically different pathway.

We recently designed and prepared new families of potent antimicrotubule agents designated as N-phenyl 4-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)benzenesulfonates (PIB–SOs) and phenyl 4-(2-oxoimidazolidin-1-yl)benzenesulfonamides (PIB–SAs). Our previous structure-activity relationship studies (SAR) focused on the aromatic ring B of PIB-SOs and PIB-SAs leaving the impact of the phenylimidazolidin-2-one moiety (ring A) on the binding to the colchicine-binding site (C-BS) poorly studied. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of replacing the imidazolidin-2-one (IMZ) group by a pyrrolidin-2-one moiety. To that end, 15 new phenyl 4-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)benzenesulfonate (PYB–SO) and 15 phenyl 4-(2-oxopyrrolidin-1-yl)benzenesulfonamide (PYB-SA) derivatives were designed, prepared, chemically characterised and biologically evaluated. PYB-SOs and PYB-SAs exhibit antiproliferative activity in the low nanomolar to low micromolar range (0.0087–8.6 μM and 0.056–21 μM, respectively) on human HT-1080, HT-29, M21 and MCF7 cancer cell lines. Moreover, they block cell cycle progression in G2/M phase. Immunofluorescence, tubulin affinity and tubulin polymerisation assays show that they cause microtubule depolymerisation by docking the C-BS. In addition, docking assays with the most potent derivatives show binding affinity toward the C-BS and they also exhibit weak or no toxicity toward chick embryos. Finally, physicochemical properties calculated using the SwissADME algorithm show that PYB-SOs and PYB-SAs are promising new families of antimicrotubule agents.
Minimization of Back-Electron Transfer Enables the Elusive sp3 C?H Functionalization of Secondary Anilines

Anilines are some of the most used class of substrates for application in photoinduced electron transfer. N,N-Dialkyl-derivatives enable radical generation α to the N-atom by oxidation followed by deprotonation. This approach is however elusive to monosubstituted anilines owing to fast back-electron transfer (BET). Here we demonstrate that BET can be minimised by using photoredox catalysis in the presence of an exogenous alkylamine. This approach synergistically aids aniline SET oxidation and then accelerates the following deprotonation. In this way, the generation of α-anilinoalkyl radicals is now possible and these species can be used in a general sense to achieve divergent sp3 C?H functionalization.
