A Mild Heteroatom (O -, N -, and S -) Methylation Protocol Using Trimethyl Phosphate (TMP)-Ca(OH) 2Combination
Tang, Yu,Yu, Biao
, (2022/03/27)
A mild heteroatom methylation protocol using trimethyl phosphate (TMP)-Ca(OH)2combination has been developed, which proceeds in DMF, or water, or under neat conditions, at 80 °C or at room temperature. A series of O-, N-, and S-nucleophiles, including phenols, sulfonamides, N-heterocycles, such as 9H-carbazole, indole derivatives, and 1,8-naphthalimide, and aryl/alkyl thiols, are suitable substrates for this protocol. The high efficiency, operational simplicity, scalability, cost-efficiency, and environmentally friendly nature of this protocol make it an attractive alternative to the conventional base-promoted heteroatom methylation procedures.

Herein we present our work on the synthesis, investigation of the photophysical properties, interactions with nucleic acids, molecular docking, and imaging application of three carbocyanine dyes. The described low-molecular-weight compounds were found to exhibit high resistance against photobleaching and showed promising optical properties as fluorescent labeling agents for ribonucleic acids. They form strong biocomplexes (log?Ks= 6.11-7.84) and revealed remarkable sensitivity towards RNA, reaching up to a 379 times increase of the emission signal when bound to AU-rich sequences. According to the score values obtained from the molecular docking studies, the compounds show strong binding affinity towards RNA macromolecules. All fluorophores exhibit significant cell tolerance since they were found to be 16 to 60 times less toxic against MRC5 cells (healthy human fibroblasts) compared to the conventional Thiazole Orange - TO. The IC50 concentrations for the compounds were calculated up to 40 μM in human fibroblasts MRC5, A549 adenocarcinomic human alveolar basal epithelial cells, the HCT116 human colon cancer cell line, and MDA-MB-231 adenocarcinoma cells. Analyzing the dyes for preferential cytotoxicity towards cancer cell lines in comparison to the normal human fibroblasts, we found a candidate exhibiting promising anticancer potential. Based on the selectivity (Si) towards cancer cells and more specifically against difficult to treat colon HCT116 carcinoma, we can suggest these small molecules as an interesting platform for further development. We have also demonstrated the efficiency of the carbocyanines as staining agents forin vivolabeling of human cells as well as microbial and eukaryotic cells.

Alkyl hydroperoxides derived from cyclohexanone are attractive oxidants because they are easily available, more reactive than TBHP but much less acidic than m-CPBA. Wherein 1,1′-peroxybis(1-hydroperoxycyclohexane) (C) can be generated by the current simply method and displays the excellent reactivity and selectivity based on oxidative reactions of various benzothiazolyl sulfides substituted by different function groups. The research found that the reactions can be performed in the absence of catalyst and under very mild conditions optimized. Yields of sulfoxides is higher than 90%, no or a little reaction happened at the proximal double bond、 N and S atoms in the benzothiazolyl moiety. Phenyl sulfide as the substrates was also examined for the reaction scope test. The results show that they were uniquely and completely oxidized to sulfoxides in 1 h. A mild, environmentally friendly, catalyst-free aryl sulfide sulfoxidation method has been developed.
