Steroid based cancer chemotherapeutic agents of the type 2′-amino-3′-cyanocholest-6-eno[5,7-de]4H-pyrans (1c-3c) have been synthesized and characterized by the various spectroscopic and analytical techniques. The DNA binding studies of compounds (1c-3c) with CT DNA were carried out by UV-vis and fluorescence spectroscopy and gel electrophoresis. The compounds (1c-3c) bind to DNA preferentially through electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions with Kb values found to be 5.4 × 103, 2.3 × 103 M-1 and 1.97 × 103 M-1, respectively indicating the higher binding affinity of compound (1c) towards DNA. The molecular docking study suggested that the electrostatic interaction of compounds (1c-3c) in between the nucleotide base pairs is due to the presence of pyran moiety in steroid molecule. All the compounds (1c-3c) cleave supercoiled pBR322 DNA via hydrolytic pathway, as validated by T4 DNA ligase assay. The compounds (1c-3c) were screened for in vitro cytotoxicity against the cancer and non-cancer cells SW480, A549, HepG2, HeLa, MCF-7, HL-60, DU-145, NL-20, HPC and HPLF by MTT assay. The compounds (1c-3c) were tested for genotoxicity (comet assay) involving apoptotic degradation of DNA and was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis and visualized by ethidium bromide staining. The results revealed that compound (1c) has better prospectus to act as cancer chemotherapeutic candidate which warrants further in vivo anticancer investigations.

Mild olefin formationviabio-inspired vitamin B12photocatalysis

Dehydrohalogenation, or elimination of hydrogen-halide equivalents, remains one of the simplest methods for the installation of the biologically-important olefin functionality. However, this transformation often requires harsh, strongly-basic conditions, rare noble metals, or both, limiting its applicability in the synthesis of complex molecules. Nature has pursued a complementary approach in the novel vitamin B12-dependent photoreceptor CarH, where photolysis of a cobalt-carbon bond leads to selective olefin formation under mild, physiologically-relevant conditions. Herein we report a light-driven B12-based catalytic system that leverages this reactivity to convert alkyl electrophiles to olefins under incredibly mild conditions using only earth abundant elements. Further, this process exhibits a high level of regioselectivity, producing terminal olefins in moderate to excellent yield and exceptional selectivity. Finally, we are able to access a hitherto-unknown transformation, remote elimination, using two cobalt catalysts in tandem to produce subterminal olefins with excellent regioselectivity. Together, we show vitamin B12to be a powerful platform for developing mild olefin-forming reactions.
Iron-catalyzed protodehalogenation of alkyl and aryl halides using hydrosilanes

A simple and efficient iron-catalyzed protodehalogenation of alkyl and aryl halides using phenylhydrosilane is disclosed. The reaction utilizes FeCl3 without the requirement of ligands. Unactivated alkyl and aryl halides were successfully reduced in good yields; sterically hindered tertiary halides were also reduced including the less reactive chlorides. The scalability of this methodology was demonstrated by a gram-scale synthesis with a catalyst loading as low as 0.5 mol%. Notably, disproportionation of phenylsilane leads to diphenylsilane that further reduces the halides. Preliminary mechanistic studies revealed a non-radical pathway and the source of hydrogen is PhSiH3via deuterium labeling studies. Our methodology represents simplicity and provides a good alternative to typical tin, aluminum and boron hydride reagents.
4-Methyltetrahydropyran (4-MeTHP): Application as an Organic Reaction Solvent

4-Methyltetrahydropyran (4-MeTHP) is a hydrophobic cyclic ether with potential for industrial applications. We herein report, for the first time, a comprehensive study on the performance of 4-MeTHP as an organic reaction solvent. Its broad application to organic reactions includes radical, Grignard, Wittig, organometallic, halogen-metal exchange, reduction, oxidation, epoxidation, amidation, esterification, metathesis, and other miscellaneous organic reactions. This breadth suggests 4-MeTHP can serve as a substitute for conventional ethers and harmful halogenated solvents. However, 4-MeTHP was found incompatible with strong Lewis acids, and the C?O bond was readily cleaved by treatment with BBr3. Moreover, the radical-based degradation pathways of 4-MeTHP, THP and 2-MeTHF were elucidated on the basis of GC-MS analyses. The data reported herein is anticipated to be useful for a broad range of synthetic chemists, especially industrial process chemists, when selecting the reaction solvent with green chemistry perspectives.
