Transition-Metal-Free Acceptorless Decarbonylation of Formic Acid Enabled by a Liquid Chemical-Looping Strategy

The selective decarbonylation of formic acid was achieved under transition-metal-free conditions. Using a liquid chemical-looping strategy, the thermodynamically favored dehydrogenation of formic acid was shut down, yielding a pure stream of CO with no H2 or CO2 contamination. The transformation involves a two-step sequence where methanol is used as a recyclable looping agent to yield methylformate, which is subsequently decomposed to carbon monoxide using alkoxides as catalysts.

Engineering of Microcage Carbon Nanotube Architectures with Decoupled Multimodal Porosity and Amplified Catalytic Performance

New approaches for the engineering of the 3D microstructure, pore modality, and chemical functionality of hierarchically porous nanocarbon assemblies are key to develop the next generation of functional aerogel and membrane materials. Here, interfacially driven assembly of carbon nanotubes (CNT) is exploited to fabricate structurally directed aerogels with highly controlled internal architectures, composed of pseudo-monolayer, CNT microcages. CNT Pickering emulsions enable engineering at fundamentally different length scales, whereby the microporosity, mesoporosity, and macroporosity are decoupled and individually controlled through CNT type, CNT number density, and process energy, respectively. In addition, metal nanocatalysts (Cu, Pd, and Ru) are embedded within the architectures through an elegant sublimation and shock-decomposition approach; introducing the first approach that enables through-volume functionalization of intricate, pre-designed aerogels without microstructural degradation. Catalytic structure–function relationships are explored in a pharma-important amidation reaction; providing insights on how the engineered frameworks enhance catalyst activity. A sophisticated array of advanced tomographic, spectroscopic, and microscopic techniques reveal an intricate 3D assembly of CNT building-blocks and their influence on the functional properties of the enhanced nanocatalysts. These advances set a basis to modulate structure and chemistry of functional aerogel materials independently in a controlled fashion for a variety of applications, including energy conversion and storage, smart electronics, and (electro)catalysis.

Conformational, vibrational, NMR and DFT studies of N-methylacetanilide

A detailed conformational, vibrational, NMR and DFT studies of N-methylacetanilide have been carried out. In DFT, B3LYP method have been used with 6-31G(d,p), 6-311++G(d,p) and cc-pVTZ basis sets. The vibrational frequencies were calculated resulting in IR and Raman frequencies together with intensities and Raman depolarisation ratios. The dipole moment derivatives were computed analytically. Owing to the complexity of the molecule, the potential energy distributions of the vibrational modes of the compound are also calculated. Isoelectronic molecular electrostatic potential surface (MEP) and electron density surface were examined. 1H and 13C NMR isotropic chemical shifts were calculated and the assignments made are compared with the experimental values. The energies of important MO's of the compound were also determined from TD-DFT method.

Novel hybrid conjugates with dual estrogen receptor α degradation and histone deacetylase inhibitory activities for breast cancer therapy

Hormone therapy targeting estrogen receptors is widely used clinically for the treatment of breast cancer, such as tamoxifen, but most of them are partial agonists, which can cause serious side effects after long-term use. The use of selective estrogen receptor down-regulators (SERDs) may be an effective alternative to breast cancer therapy by directly degrading ERα protein to shut down ERα signaling. However, the solely clinically used SERD fulvestrant, is low orally bioavailable and requires intravenous injection, which severely limits its clinical application. On the other hand, double- or multi-target conjugates, which are able to synergize antitumor activity by different pathways, thus may enhance therapeutic effect in comparison with single targeted therapy. In this study, we designed and synthesized a series of novel dual-functional conjugates targeting both ERα degradation and histone deacetylase inhibiton by combining a privileged SERD skeleton 7-oxabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane sulfonamide (OBHSA) with a histone deacetylase inhibitor side chain. We found that substituents on both the sulfonamide nitrogen and phenyl group of OBHSA unit had significant effect on biological activities. Among them, conjugate 16i with N-methyl and naphthyl groups exhibited potent antiproliferative activity against MCF-7 cells, and excellent ERα degradation activity and HDACs inhibitory ability. A further molecular docking study indicated the interaction patterns of these conjugates with ERα, which may provide guidance to design novel SERDs or PROTAC-like SERDs for breast cancer therapy.

Z-Selective Fluoroalkenylation of (Hetero)Aromatic Systems by Iodonium Reagents in Palladium-Catalyzed Directed C?H Activation

The direct and catalytic incorporation of fluorine containing molecular motifs into organic compounds resulting high-value added chemicals represents a rapidly evolving part of synthetic methodologies, thus this area is in the focus of pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Herein we report a stereoselective procedure for direct fluorovinylation of aromatic and heteroaromatic scaffolds. This methodology development has been realized by palladium-catalyzed ortho C?H activation reaction of aniline derivatives featuring the regioselectivity via directing groups such as secondary of tertiary amides, ureas or ketones. The application of non-symmetrical aryl(fluoroalkenyl)-iodonium salts as fluoroalkenylating agents allowed mild reaction conditions in general for this transformation. The scope and limitations have been thoroughly investigated and the feasibility has been demonstrated by more than 50 examples.

Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of α-Keto Amides; Highly Enantioselective Formation of Malic Acid Diamides and α-Hydroxyamides

The asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of α-keto-1,4-diamides using a tethered Ru/TsDPEN catalyst was achieved in high ee. Studies on derivatives identified the structural elements which lead to the highest enantioselectivities in the products. The α-keto-amide reduction products have been converted to a range of synthetically valuable derivatives.

Preparation and catalytic evaluation of a palladium catalyst deposited over modified clinoptilolite (Pd&at;MCP) for chemoselective N-formylation and N-acylation of amines

Novel palladium nanoparticles stabilized by clinoptilolite as a natural inexpensive zeolite prepared and used for N-formylation and N-acylation of amines at room temperature at environmentally benign reaction conditions in good to excellent yields. Pd (II) was immobilized on the surface of clinoptilolite via facile multi-step amine functionalization to obtain a sustainable, recoverable, and highly active nano-catalyst. The structural and morphological characterizations of the catalyst carried out using XRD, FT-IR, BET and TEM techniques. Moreover, the catalyst is easily recovered using simple filtration and reused for 7 consecutive runs without any loss in activity.

An Environmentally Benign, Catalyst-Free N?C Bond Cleavage/Formation of Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary Unactivated Amides

Herein, we report an operationally simple, cheap, and catalyst-free method for the transamidation of a diverse range of unactivated amides furnishing the desired products in excellent yields. This protocol is environmentally friendly and operates under extremely mild conditions without using any promoter or additives. Significantly, this strategy has been implied in the chemoselective synthesis of a pharmaceutical molecule, paracetamol, on a gram-scale with excellent yield. We anticipate that this universally applicable strategy will be of great interest in drug discovery, biochemistry, and organic synthesis.
