A novel and simple one-pot stepwise method to synthesize benzoxaboroles was demonstrated. This step-by-step synthetic method includes photocatalytic boronization with phenothiazine as a photocatalyst and sequential water-induced reduction in the presence of bis(pinacolato)diboron. A series of o-bromobenzaldehydes were well-tolerated under the standard conditions. In addition, this method has been successfully applied in the synthesis of the anti-tuberculosis candidate drug GSK 3036656 and anti-fungal drug tavaborole. This journal is

The invention belongs to the field of bactericides, and particularly relates to a benzoxaborole-1-alcohol compound and a preparation method and application thereof. The benzoxaborole-1-alcohol compound has good bactericidal activity, can effectively control tomato early blight, wheat scab, rice sheath blight disease, strawberry gray mold, apple blotch, cucumber anthracnose and other crop diseases,can produce excellent antibacterial effects at low concentration, and shows good selectivity. The compound is used as a leucyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor, the evolution difference of aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase of germs and eukaryotes is utilized, and the compound has very high safety to non-target organisms while killing the germs and can be used as a bactericide in agriculture.

Fungal pathogens pose an increasing threat to global food security through devastating effects on staple crops and contamination of food supplies with carcinogenic toxins. Widespread deployment of agricultural fungicides has increased crop yields but is driving increasingly frequent resistance to available agents and creating environmental reservoirs of drug-resistant fungi that can also infect susceptible human populations. To uncover non-cross-resistant modes of antifungal action, we leveraged the unique chemical properties of boron chemistry to synthesize novel 6-thiocarbamate benzoxaboroles with broad spectrum activity against diverse fungal plant pathogens. Through whole genome sequencing of Saccharomyces cerevisiae isolates selected for stable resistance to these compounds, we identified mutations in the protein prenylation-related genes, CDC43 and ERG20. Allele-swapping experiments confirmed that point mutations in CDC43, which encodes an essential catalytic subunit within geranylgeranyl transferase I (GGTase I) complex, were sufficient to confer resistance to the benzoxaboroles. Mutations in ERG20, which encodes an upstream farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase in the geranylgeranylation pathway, also conferred resistance. Consistent with impairment of protein prenylation, the compounds disrupted membrane localization of the classical geranylgeranylation substrate Cdc42. Guided by molecular docking predictions, which favored Cdc43 as the most likely direct target, we overexpressed and purified functional GGTase I complex to demonstrate direct binding of benzoxaboroles to it and concentration-dependent inhibition of its transferase activity. Further development of the boron-containing scaffold described here offers a promising path to the development of GGTase I inhibitors as a mechanistically distinct broad spectrum fungicide class with reduced potential for cross-resistance to antifungals in current use.

Arylphosphonium-benzoxaborole conjugates have been synthesized as potential mitochondria targeting anticancer agents. The synthesized compounds have been tested for their effects on cell viability in various solid tumor cell lines including breast cancer 4T1 and MCF-7, pancreatic cancer MIAPaCa-2 and colorectal adenocarcinoma WiDr. Compound 6c is designated as a lead compound for further studies due to its enhanced effects on cell viability in the above-mentioned cell lines. Seahorse Xfe96 based metabolic assays reveal that the lead candidate 6c inhibits mitochondrial respiration in 4T1 and WiDr cell lines as evidenced by the reduction of mitochondrial ATP production and increase in proton leak. Epiflourescent microscopy experiments also illustrate that 6c causes significant mitochondrial fragmentation in 4T1 and WiDr cells, morphologically consistent with programmed cell death. Our current studies illustrate that arylphosphonium-benzoxaborole conjugates have potential to be further developed as anticancer agents.

The synthesis and utility of three benzoxaborole protecting groups are reported. These protecting groups improve organic solubility and allow otherwise incompatible reactions (oxidations, substitutions, and mild reductions) to be achieved in the presence of the benzoxaborole moiety. 3-(N,N-Dimethylamino)-1-propanol was determined to be useful in one-step sequences and is readily cleaved upon workup. Two other groups, N-methylsalicylidenimine and 2-[1-(methylimino)ethyl]phenol, are suitable for multistep syntheses. Deprotection with mild aqueous acid allows for chromatography-free isolation of the benzoxaborole in high yields.

Organoboron compounds are valuable molecules of increasing interest in organic synthesis, catalysis, biology and medicine. Among them, benzoxaboroles emerged as promising building blocks for numerous research programs. In this letter, we communicate the development of new conditions for the one-pot benzoxaborole synthesis by SiliaCat DPP?Pd catalysis using diboronic acid as the boron source. This low cost and sustainable strategy permitted the preparation of a useful range of benzoxaborole building blocks. Finally, the transformation was extended to a continuous flow process using our Vapourtec system. (Figure presented.).

The preparation of the boroxole motif traditionally relies on a 3-step process and the use of n-butyl lithium that can limit substrate scope. Herein during our exploration toward novel RORγ inhibitors, we identified a convenient one-pot preparation of the motif in good yields with good substrate scope.
