A copper-catalyzed decarbonylative alkylation-cyanation of styrene derivatives with aliphatic aldehydes and trimethylsilyl cyanide to provide chain elongated nitriles is reported. Using TBHP as an oxidant and free radical initiator, the reaction can smoothly convert abundant α-di-substituted, α-mono-substituted and linear aliphatic aldehydes into the corresponding 3°, 2° and 1° alkyl radicals to initiate the subsequent radical-type difunctionalization of various styrenes.

Six tridentate NNN ligand precursors derived from 2-(pyridin-2-yl)benzo[d]thiazole(PBT) with different linkers, PBTNNXN (X = NH, NMe, O, S) (1a–1f), have been successfully prepared. The electronic properties of PBTNNXN ligands are well tunable by differing linkers between PBT skeleton and the pyridine ring, and/or by introducing electron-donating/withdrawing groups on the pyridine ring (R = OMe or F). The ligand precursors and representative complexes Ru (PBTNNNHN)Cl2(PPh3) (2a), Ru (PBTNNNMeN)Cl2(PPh3) (2b), and Ru (PBTNNSN)Cl2(PPh3) (2f) have been characterized by NMR spectroscopy, high-resolution mass spectroscopy, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR). The molecular structures of 1f, 2a, and 2f have been determined by X-ray diffraction study. The results indicate that PBTNNNHN ligand in the complex presented coplanar with two five-membered chelating rings. It should be noted that 2a featuring a NH group exhibits superior performance compared to those with other linkers (such as NMe, O, or S). A variety of heterocyclic and aromatic nitriles with aromatic and aliphatic alcohols have been explored in α-alkylation for good to excellent yields. Based on kinetic experiments and mechanistic studies, a proposed mechanism was put forward. Ru-H species and benzaldehyde, which was oxidized from benzyl alcohol, were detected in the catalytic cycle.

A general and chemoselective catalytic alkylation of nitriles using a homogeneous nonprecious manganese catalyst is presented. This alkylation reaction uses naturally abundant alcohols and readily available nitriles as coupling partners. The reaction tolerates a wide range of functional groups and heterocyclic moieties, efficiently providing useful cyanoalkylated products with water as the only side product. Importantly, methanol can be used as a C1 source and the chemoselective C-methylation of nitriles is achieved. The mechanistic investigations support the multiple role of the metal-ligand manganese catalyst, the dehydrogenative activation of the alcohol, α-C-H activation of the nitrile, and hydrogenation of the in-situ-formed unsaturated intermediate.
Efficient solvent-free selective monoalkylation of arylacetonitriles with mono-, bis-, and tris-primary alcohols catalyzed by a Cp*Ir complex

Our objectives were to develop catalytic atom-economic processes accessing and/or incorporating versatile functionality using aryl/heteroaryl acetonitriles as substrates. We report essentially solvent-free [Cp*IrCl 2]2 catalyzed redox neutral processes whereby substituted acetonitriles react with primary alcohols to deliver monosubstituted aryl/heteroaryl acetonitriles in excellent yield. We further demonstrate that such processes can be achieved by conventional or microwave heating and that bis- and tris-primary alcohols are also processed efficiently.

A ruthenium-grafted hydrotalcite (Ru/HT) and hydrotalcite-supported palladium nanoparticles (Pdnano/ HT) are easily prepared by treating basic layered double hydroxide, hydrotalcite (HT, Mg6Al 2(OH)16CO3) with aqueous RuCl 3·n H2O and K2[PdCl4] solutions, respectively, using surface impregnation methods. Analysis by means of X-ray diffraction, and energydispersive X-ray, electron paramagnetic resonance, and X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopies proves that a monomeric RuIV species is grafted onto the surface of the HT. Meanwhile, after reduction of a surface-isolated PdII species, highly dispersed Pd nanoclusters with a mean diameter of about 70 A is observed on the Pdnano/HT surface by transmission electron microscopy analysis. These hydrotalcite-supported metal catalysts can effectively promote α-alkylation reactions of various nitriles with primary alcohols or carbonyl compounds through tandem reactions consisting of metal-catalyzed oxidation and reduction, and an aldol reaction promoted by the base sites of the HT. In these catalytic α-alkylations, homogeneous bases are unnecessary and the only by-product is water. Additionally, these catalyst systems are applicable to one-pot syntheses of glutaronitrile derivatives.

Treatment of a hydrotacite, Mg6Al2(OH)16CO3, with an aqueous solution of RuCl3·nH2O afforded a monomeric Ru(IV) species on the surface of the hydrotalcite. This novel Ru-grafted hydrotalcite (Ru/HT) efficiently catalyzed α-alkylation of nitriles with primary alcohols through the cooperative catalysis between the Ru species and the surface base sites. The catalyst system could be further extended for the one-pot synthesis of α,α-dialkylated phenylacetonitriles via the base-catalyzed Michael reaction of α-alkylated phenylacetonitrile with activate olefins.

The synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-alkyl-substituted 3-(4-aminophenyl)piperidine-2,6-diones as inhibitors of estrogen biosynthesis are described .In vitro compounds 4-14 showed a stronger inhibition of human placental aromatase compared to aminoglutethimide (AG, compound 3), which recently has become used for the treatment of hormone-dependent breast cancer.The most active derivative, compound 10, showed a 93-fold stronger inhibition than AG.With the exception of 5, 7, and 8, all other compounds exhibited similar or decreased inhibition of bovine adrenal desmolase compared to AG.Compounds 4 and 6-12 showed a stronger inhibition of the plasma estradiol concentration of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) primed Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats compared to the parent compound.Compounds 4, 6-8, 10, and 12 inhibited the testosterone-stimulated tumor growth of ovariectomized 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene (DMBA) tumor-bearing SD rats more strongly than AG.Being stronger and more selective inhibitors of the estrogen biosynthesis than AG, some of the newly developed derivatives of AG might be better candidates for the treatment of the hormone-dependent human breast cancer.
