Transition metal-based anticancer compounds, as an alternative to platinum derivatives, are raising scientific interest as they may present distinct although poorly understood mechanisms of action. We used a structure-activity relationship-based methodology to investigate the chemical and biological features of a series of ten (C^N)-chelated half-sandwich iridiumIII complexes of the general formula [IrCp?(phox)Cl], where (phox) is a 2-phenyloxazoline ligand forming a 5-membered metallacycle. This series of compounds undergoes a fast exchange of their chlorido ligand once solubilised in DMSO. They were cytotoxic to HeLa cells with IC50 values in the micromolar range and induced a rapid activation of caspase-3, an apoptosis marker. In vitro, the oxidative power of all the complexes towards NADH was highlighted but only the complexes bearing substituents on the oxazoline ring were able to produce H2O2 at the micromolar range. However, we demonstrated using a powerful HyPer protein redox sensor-based flow cytometry assay that most complexes rapidly raised intracellular levels of H2O2. Hence, this study shows that oxidative stress can partly explain the cytotoxicity of these complexes on the HeLa cell line and gives a first entry to their mechanism of action. This journal is

Optically active (S)-2-aryl-4 (or 5)-phenyl-1,3-oxazolines and (S)-2-fluoroalkyl-4-phenyl-1,3-oxazolines were synthesized from a tandem one-pot reaction of (S)-2-amino-2-phenylethanol with a corresponding carboxylic acid in toluene at 90 °C in the presence of PPh3/CBr4 and excess Et3N. The use of aromatic carboxylic acids were determined to proceed through N-(2-bromo-1-phenyl-ethyl)-arylamides 5 and N-aroyl aziridine intermediates 6, which resulted in the formation of (S)-2-aryl-4-phenyl-1,3- oxazolines and (S)-2-aryl-5-phenyl-1,3-oxazolines, respectively. Concurrently, the reaction with fluorinated aliphatic carboxylic acid substrates proceeded via N-(2-hydroxy-1-phenyl-ethyl)-fluoroalkyl amide intermediates 8, which were converted into N-(2-bromo-1-phenyl-ethyl)-fluoroalkyl amide intermediates 9, and then into (S)-2-fluoroalkyl-4-phenyl-1,3-oxazolines as final products. Reaction mechanisms that mainly passed through the formation of aziridine intermediates 6 in the reaction with aromatic carboxylic acids and the formation of fluoroalkyl amide intermediates 8 and 9 in the reaction with fluorinated aliphatic carboxylic acid were proposed. The acidities of the carboxylic acids that were employed were found to play a key role in the selective formation of various intermediates during this reaction.

Substituted imidazoles and oxazoles were respectively hydrogenated into the corresponding chiral imidazolines and oxazolines (up to 99% ee). The highly enantioselective hydrogenation was achieved by using the chiral ruthenium catalyst, which is generated
