Synthesis and evaluation of trypanocidal activity of derivatives of naturally occurring 2,5-diphenyloxazoles

African trypanosomiasis is a zoonotic protozoan disease affecting the nervous system. Various natural products reportedly exhibit trypanocidal activity. Naturally occurring 2,5-diphenyloxazoles present in Oxytropis lanata, and their derivatives, were synthesized. The trypanocidal activities of the synthesized compounds were evaluated against Trypanosoma brucei brucei, T. b. gambiense, T. b. rhodesiense, T. congolense, and T. evansi. Natural product 1 exhibited trypanocidal activity against all the species/subspecies of trypanosomes, exhibiting half-maximal inhibitory concentrations (IC50) of 1.1–13.5 μM. Modification of the oxazole core improved the trypanocidal activity. The 1,3,4-oxadiazole (7) and 2,4-diphenyloxazole (9) analogs exhibited potency superior to that of 1. However, these compounds exhibited cytotoxicity in Madin-Darby bovine kidney cells. The O-methylated analog of 1 (12) was non-cytotoxic and exhibited selective trypanocidal activity against T. congolense (IC50 = 0.78 μM). Structure-activity relationship studies of the 2,5-diphenyloxazole analogs revealed aspects of the molecular structure critical for maintaining selective trypanocidal activity against T. congolense.

Reaction Conditions for the Regiodivergent Direct Arylations at C2- or C5-Positions of Oxazoles using Phosphine-Free Palladium Catalysts

Two sets of reaction conditions for the regiodivergent C2- or C5- direct arylations of oxazole are reported. In both cases, phosphine-free catalysts and inexpensive bases were employed allowing the access to the arylated oxazoles in moderate to high yields. Using Pd(OAc)2/KOAc as catalyst and base, regioselective C5-arylations were observed; whereas, using Pd(acac)2/Cs2CO3 system, the arylation occurred at the C2-position of oxazole. The higher reactivity of C5-H bond of oxazole as compared to the C2-H bond in the presence of Pd(OAc)2/KOAc system is consistent with a concerted metalation deprotonation mechanism; whereas the C2-arylation likely occurs via a simple base deprotonation of the oxazole C2-position. Then, from these C2- or C5-arylated oxazoles, a second palladium-catalyzed direct C?H bond arylation affords 2,5-diaryloxazoles with two different aryl groups. We also applied these sequential arylations to the straightforward synthesis of 2-arylphenanthro[9,10-d]oxazoles via three C?H bond functionalization steps. The Ru-catalyzed C?H arylation of the aryl unit of 2-aryloxazoles is also described. (Figure presented.).

Reaction of alkynes and azides: Not triazoles through copper-acetylides but oxazoles through copper-nitrene intermediates

Well-defined copper(I) complexes of composition [Tpm* ,BrCu(NCMe)]BF4 (Tpm*,Br=tris(3,5- dimethyl-4-bromo-pyrazolyl)methane) or [Tpa* Cu]PF6 (Tpa=tris(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazolylmethyl)amine) catalyze the formation of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles from carbonyl azides and terminal alkynes in a direct manner. This process represents a novel procedure for the synthesis of this valuable heterocycle from readily available starting materials, leading exclusively to the 2,5-isomer, attesting to a completely regioselective transformation. Experimental evidence and computational studies have allowed the proposal of a reaction mechanism based on the initial formation of a copper-acyl nitrene species, in contrast to the well-known mechanism for the copper-catalyzed alkyne and azide cycloaddition reactions (CuAAC) that is triggered by the formation of a copper-acetylide complex.

Metal-free dual sp3 C-H functionalization: I2- promoted domino oxidative cyclization to construct 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles

An I2-promoted sp3 C-H functionalization has been developed for the synthesis of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles from easily available methyl ketones and benzylamines without any metal and peroxide catalyst. This domino oxidative cyclization process involves the cleavage of C-H bond and the formation of C-N, C-O bonds.

Copper(ii)-mediated oxidative cyclization of enamides to oxazoles

The copper(ii)-mediated oxidative cyclization of enamides to oxazoles is reported. A range of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles were prepared in moderate to good yields in two steps from simple amide and alkyne precursors.

Regioselective formation of 2,5-disubstituted oxazoles via copper(I)-catalyzed cycloaddition of acyl azides and 1-alkynes

The reaction of 1-alkynes with acyl azides in the presence of [Tpm *,BrCu(NCMe)]BF4 [Tpm*,Br = tris(3,5-dimethyl-4-bromopyrazolyl)methane] as the catalyst provides 2,5-oxazoles in moderate to high yields. This is a novel transformation of the CuAAC type that constitutes a significant variation of the commonly observed [3 + 2] cycloaddition reaction to yield 1,2,3-triazoles.

Direct arylation of simple azoles catalyzed by 1,10-phenanthroline containing palladium complexes: An investigation of C4 arylation of azoles and the synthesis of triarylated azoles by sequential arylation

Direct triarylation and sequential triarylation reactions of simple azoles catalyzed by [Pd(phen)2]PF6 are described. Simple azoles, such as N-methylimidazole, thiazole, and oxazole, were observed to undergo triaryaltion reactions even at their C4 positions when treated with aryl iodides in the presence of [Pd(phen)2]PF6 as a catalyst and a stoichiometric amount of Cs2CO3 in DMA at 150 °C. Using excess amounts of azoles, selective C5 monoarylation was achieved by using the same catalytic system. Subsequent efforts demonstrated that C5 arylated azoles undergo exclusive C2 arylation using [Pd(phen)2]PF6 as the catalyst with galvinoxyl as an additive. Finally, unprecedented C4 arylation reactions of 2,5-diaryl-azoles occur by using the new catalytic system to give the corresponding triarylated products in good to excellent yields. The results of mechanistic studies suggest that the C2 arylation process takes place by way of an electrophilic aromatic substitution (SEAr) palladation pathway, while arylation reactions at the C4 position occur via a SEAr palladation and/or radical mechanism. Finally, a concise, three-step synthesis of the Tie-2 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor has been executed starting with commercially available N-methylimidazole by a route that employs the new sequential arylation process.
