Abstract: Cu-containing layered double hydroxides with different Cu : Al ratios are synthesized by co-precipitation using a mixture of hydroxide and sodium carbonate as a precipitation agent. The influence of the precipitation agent concentration on the formation of the hydrotalcite phase was studied by thermal analysis and X-ray diffraction. The surface of the obtained samples after calcination at 450°C and their subsequent reduction at 300°C in hydrogen, was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The synthesized catalysts were tested in the reaction of N-methylation of p-anisidine with methanol in an autoclave reactor to produce N-methyl-p-anisidine. The influence of the Cu : Al ratio in them on the catalytic activity and selectivity was studied.

The important physiological function of microtubules makes them an indispensable and clinically effective target of anti-tumor agents. Herein, we sought to design, synthesize, and evaluate a novel 4-anilinoquinazoline derivative and identify its anti-tumor activity in vitro and in vivo. The novel compound, N-(4-methoxyphenyl)-N-methyl-2-(methyl-d3)quinazolin-4-amine (AQ-4), was identified as a representative scaffold and potent microtubule-targeting agent. As a promising antimitotic agent, AQ-4 displayed remarkable anti-tumor activity with an average IC50 value of 19 nM across a panel of 14 human cancer cell lines. AQ-4 also exhibited nearly identical potent activities against drug-resistant cells, with no evidence of toxicity towards normal cells. A further target verification study revealed that AQ-4 targets the tubulin-microtubule system by significantly inhibiting tubulin polymerization and disrupting the intracellular microtubule spindle dynamics. According to the results of mechanism study, AQ-4 induced cell cycle arrest in the G2/M phase, promoting evident apoptosis and a collapses of mitochondrial membrane potential. The superior anti-tumor effect of AQ-4 in vivo suggests that it should be further investigated to validate its use for cancer therapy.

We herein describe an efficient, CO2-tuned and highly selective C-O bond cleavage of N-methylated formanilides. With easy-to-handle and commercially available NaBH4 as the reductant, a variety of formanilides could be turned into the desired tertiary amines in moderate to excellent yields. The role of CO2 has been investigated in detail, and the mechanism is proposed on the basis of experiments.
Borane-Trimethylamine Complex as a Reducing Agent for Selective Methylation and Formylation of Amines with CO2

We report herein that a borane-trimethylamine complex worked as an efficient reducing agent for the selective methylation and formylation of amines with 1 atm CO2 under metal-free conditions. 6-Amino-2-picoline serves as a highly efficient catalyst for the methylation of various secondary amines, whereas in its absence, the formylation of primary and secondary amines was achieved in high yield with high chemoselectivity. Mechanistic studies suggest that the 6-amino-2-picoline-borane catalytic system operates like an intramolecular frustrated Lewis pair to activate CO2.
