Generic synthesis, identification of structural identity, unique prototropy and spectroscopic properties of meso-alkylidenyl-thia(m-benzi)porphyrinoid containing one exocyclic double bond at the meso-position were presented.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase is a key target for anti-HCV therapeutics development. Herein, we report the synthesis and in vitro evaluation of anti-NS5B polymerase activity of a molecular hybrid of our previously reported lead compounds 1 (IC50 = 7.7 μM) and 2 (IC50 = 10.6 μM) as represented by hybrid compound 27 (IC 50 = 6.7 μM). We have explored the optimal substituents on the terminal phenyl ring of the 3-phenoxybenzylidene moiety in 27, by generating a set of six analogs. This resulted in the identification of compound 34 with an IC50 of 2.6 μM. To probe the role of stereochemistry towards the observed biological activity, we synthesized and evaluated the d-isomers 41 (IC50 = 19.3 μM) and 45 (IC50 = 5.4 μM) as enantiomers of the l-isomers 27 and 34, respectively. The binding site of compounds 32 and 34 was mapped to palm pocket-I (PP-I) of NS5B. The docking models of 34 and 45 within the PP-I of NS5B were investigated to envisage the molecular mechanism of inhibition.

Nanosecond time-resolved resonance Raman (ns-TR3) spectroscopy was employed to investigate the photoinduced reactions of 3-(hydroxymethyl) benzophenone (1) in acetonitrile, 2-propanol, and neutral and acidic aqueous solutions. Density functional theory calculations were utilized to help the interpretation of the experimental spectra. In acetonitrile, the neutral triplet state 1 [denoted here as (m-BPOH)3] was observed on the nanosecond to microsecond time scale. In 2-propanol this triplet state appeared to abstract a hydrogen atom from the solvent molecules to produce the aryphenyl ketyl radical of 1 (denoted here as ArPK of 1), and then this species underwent a cross-coupling reaction with the dimethylketyl radical (also formed from the hydrogen abstraction reaction) to form a long-lived light absorbing transient species that was tentatively identified to be mainly 2-(4-(hydroxy(3- (hydroxymethyl)phenyl)methylene)cyclohexa-2,5-dienyl)propan-2-ol. In 1:1 H 2O:CH3CN aqueous solution at neutral pH, (m-BPOH) 3 reacted with water to produce the ArPK of 1 and then underwent further reaction to produce a long-lived light absorbing transient species. Three photochemical reactions appeared to take place after 266 nm photolysis of 1 in acidic aqueous solutions, a photoreduction reaction, an overall photohydration reaction, and a novel photoredox reaction. TR3 experiments in 1:1 H2O:CH3CN aqueous solution at pH 2 detected a new triplet biradical species, which is associated with an unusual photoredox reaction. This reaction is observed to be the predominant reaction at pH 2 and seems to face competition from the overall photohydration reaction at pH 0.
Highly practical copper(I)/TEMPO catalyst system for chemoselective aerobic oxidation of primary alcohols
Hoover, Jessica M.,Stahl, Shannon S.
supporting information; experimental part, p. 16901 - 16910 (2011/12/04)
Aerobic oxidation reactions have been the focus of considerable attention, but their use in mainstream organic chemistry has been constrained by limitations in their synthetic scope and by practical factors, such as the use of pure O2 as the oxidant or complex catalyst synthesis. Here, we report a new (bpy)CuI/TEMPO catalyst system that enables efficient and selective aerobic oxidation of a broad range of primary alcohols, including allylic, benzylic, and aliphatic derivatives, to the corresponding aldehydes using readily available reagents, at room temperature with ambient air as the oxidant. The catalyst system is compatible with a wide range of functional groups and the high selectivity for 1° alcohols enables selective oxidation of diols that lack protecting groups.
Tubulin photoaffinity labeling study with a plinabulin chemical probe possessing a biotin tag at the oxazole

A new bioactive photoaffinity probe KPU-252-B1 (4) possessing a biotin tag on the oxazole ring of a potent plinabulin derivative KPU-244 (2) was synthesized via the CuI-catalyzed Huisgen's cycloaddition reaction to understand the precise binding mode of the diketopiperazine-based anti-microtubule agent plinabulin on tubulin. Probe 4 showed significant binding affinity toward tubulin and cytotoxicity against an HT-29 cells. A photoaffinity labeling study suggested that probe 4 specifically recognizes tubulin at a binding site that binds plinabulin or colchicine, most likely near or at the colchicine binding site, which is located at the interfacial region formed by α-and β-tubulin association. The results also demonstrated that probe 4 may serve as a useful plinabulin chemical probe to investigate the molecular mechanism by which anti-microtubule diketopiperazine derivatives operate.
Formal intramolecular photoredox chemistry of meta-substituted benzophenones

(Chemical Equation Presented) Photolysis of 3-(hydroxymethyl)benzophenone (1) in aqueous solution (pH -4 M) conditions. Evidence suggests that the highly efficient (Φ ～ 0.6) reaction involves a unimolecular mechanism and an overall formal intramolecular photoredox process, which requires electronic communication between the 1,3-positions of the benzene ring, an unprecedented example of the photochemical meta effect. The photoredox reaction was not observed in organic solvents, where only photoreduction of the benzophenone moiety was observed.
