A Bisphenolic Honokiol Analog Outcompetes Oral Antimicrobial Agent Cetylpyridinium Chloride via a Membrane-Associated Mechanism

Targeting Streptococcus mutans is the primary focus in reducing dental caries, one of the most common maladies in the world. Previously, our groups discovered a potent bactericidal biaryl compound that was inspired by the natural product honokiol. Herein, a structure activity relationship (SAR) study to ascertain structural motifs key to inhibition is outlined. Furthermore, mechanism studies show that bacterial membrane disruption is central to the bacterial growth inhibition. During this process, it was discovered that analog C2 demonstrated a 4-fold better therapeutic index compared to the commercially available antimicrobial cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) making it a viable alternative for oral care.

Dual Nickel- And Photoredox-Catalyzed Reductive Cross-Coupling of Aryl Halides with Dichloromethane via a Radical Process

The first catalytic strategy to harness a new chloromethane radical from dichloromethane under dual Ni/photoredox catalytic conditions has been developed. Compared with traditional two-electron reductive process associated with metallic reductants, this method via a single-electron approach can proceed under exceptionally mild conditions (visible light, ambient temperature, no strong base) and exhibits complementary reactivity patterns. It affords a broad scope of many functional groups, including alkenyl, which suffers cyclopropanation in previous routes. The diarylmethane-d2 compounds can be readily available with this transformation.

Facile Hydrogenolysis of C(sp3)–C(sp3) σ Bonds

The modification of benzylic quaternary, tertiary, and secondary carbon centers through palladium-catalyzed hydrogenolysis of C(sp3)–C(sp3) σ bonds is presented. When benzyl Meldrum's acid derivatives bearing quaternary benzylic centers are treated under mild hydrogenolysis conditions – palladium on carbon and atmospheric pressure of hydrogen – aromatics substituted with tertiary benzylic centers and Meldrum's acid are obtained with good to excellent yield. Analogously, substrates containing tertiary or secondary benzylic centers yield aromatics substituted with secondary benzylic centers or toluene derivatives, respectively. Furthermore, this strategy is used for the high yielding synthesis of diarylmethanes. The scope of the reductive dealkylation reaction is explored and the limitations with respect to steric and electronic factors are determined. A mechanistic analysis of the reaction is described that consisted of deuterium labelling experiments and hydrogenolysis of enantioenriched derivatives. The investigation shows that the C(sp3)–C(sp3) σ bond-cleaving events occur through a hybrid SN1/SN2 mechanism, in which the palladium center displaces a carbon-based leaving group, namely Meldrum's acid, with inversion of configuration, followed by reductive elimination of palladium to furnish a C?H bond.

Facile one-pot palladium-catalyzed sequential coupling to diarylmethanes by using aryl methyl ketones as the methylene donors

A novel palladium-catalyzed coupling reaction of an aryl methyl ketone with two molecules of an aryl halide to yield symmetric diarylmethanes is described. In the facile one-pot reaction, the aryl methyl ketone acts as a formal methylene donor. The experimental facts, including TLC monitoring, speculated intermediates as the raw materials, analysis of the cesium benzoate coproduct by ex situ IR spectroscopy, and the cross-coupling reactions of two different aryl halides, indicate a mechanism involving a palladium-catalyzed sequential two-step coupling process, in which the presence of a trace amount of H 2O is indispensable. The reaction is applicable to a broad spectrum of substrates and delivers the products in good to excellent yields. Access to unsymmetrical diarylmethanes with this method is also explored and various factors are discussed. An aryl methyl ketone is used as the methylene donor to couple with two molecules of an aryl halide for the synthesis of various symmetric diarylmethanes under palladium catalysis. The mechanism involves a two-step coupling process in which the presence of a trace amount of H 2O is indispensable. The cross-coupling to unsymmetrical diarylmethanes with this method is also explored. Copyright

Catalytic double C-Cl bond activation in CHlby iron(III) salts with grignard reagents

Cross-coupling of Grignard reagents with dichloromethane is achieved using iron(III) catalysts. Aryl- and benzylmagnesium bromides show a range of activity toward double C-Cl bond activation resulting in the insertion of methylene fragments between two equivalents of the nucleophilic partner.

Carbon Acidity. 66. Equilibrium Ion Pair Acidities of Substituted Diphenylmethanes in Cyclohexylamine

The pKCsCHA values are reported for a number of symmetrically meta- and para-substituted diphenylmethanes.The pKCsCHA values for the meta series (Me, 33.8; OMe, 32.7; F, 29.9; CF3, 28.9; Ph, 32.3; H, 33.4) give a normal Hammett plot with ρ = 9.69.The para series (Me, 35.1; OMe,37.6; Ph, 30.8; NMe2, 38.6; SPh, 28.8; CN, 23.0; SO2Me, 22.4) do not fit attempted correlations with ?, the Yukawa-Tsuno modifications, or dual substituent parameter approaches.Electron-donating groups are more anion destabilizing than in other reference systems. "Amphoteric" substituents, those that stabilize both anions and cations (phenyl, thio, etc.), cause special problems in generalized correlations.
