Strategy for Traceless Codrug Delivery with Platinum(IV) Prodrug Complexes Using Self-Immolative Linkers

A common challenge in Pt(IV) prodrug design is the limited repertoire of linkers available to connect the Pt(IV) scaffold with the bioactive payload. The commonly employed linkers are either too stable, leading to a linker artifact on the payload upon rel

Free radical scavenging and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of (E)-methyl/ethyl-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acrylates

(E)-Methyl/ethyl-3-(2-hydroxyphenyl)acrylates 3a-x have been prepared by the reaction of salicylaldehydes 1a-l with Wittig reagents such as methyl (triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetate 2a and ethyl (triphenylphosphoranylidene)acetate 2b in dry DCM at room t

Late-Stage Direct o-Alkenylation of Phenols by PdII-Catalyzed C?H Functionalization

o-Alkenylation of unprotected phenols has been developed by direct C?H functionalization catalyzed by PdII. This work features phenol group as a directing group and realizes highly site-selective C?H bond functionalization of phenols to achieve the corresponding products in moderate to excellent yields at 60 °C. The advantages of this reaction include unprecedented C?H functionalization using phenol as a directing group, high regioselectivity, good substrate scope, mild reaction conditions, and high efficiency. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a regioselective C?H alkenylation of unprotected phenols utilizing phenolic hydroxyl group as a directing group. The alkenylation of unprotected tyrosine and intramolecular cyclization are also successfully carried out under this catalytic system in good yields. Furthermore, this novel method enables a late-stage modification of complex phenol-containing bioactive molecules toward a diversity-oriented drug discovery.

Rh-Catalyzed Deformylative Coupling of Salicylaldehydes with Acrylates and Acrylamides

An unprecedented deformylative coupling of salicylaldehydes to acrylates and acrylamides under Rh-catalyzed conditions is reported. These deformylative couplings afforded o-hydroxycinnamates and o-hydroxycinnamamides with broad functional group tolerance and high chemoselectivity under milder reaction conditions.

A Bipyridine-Palladium Derivative as General Pre-Catalyst for Cross-Coupling Reactions in Deep Eutectic Solvents

A versatile and DES-compatible bipyridine palladium complex has been developed as a general pre-catalyst for different cross-coupling reactions (Hiyama, Suzuki-Miyaura, Heck-Mizoroki and Sonogashira) in deep eutectic solvents. Hydrogen bond capacity of the ligand allows to keep the excellent level of results previously obtained in classical organic solvents. Palladium pre-catalyst showed a high catalytic activity for many cross-coupling reactions, demonstrating a great versatility and applicability. Also, this methodology employs sustainable solvents as a reaction medium and highlights the potential of DES as alternative solvents in organometallic catalysis. The catalyst and DES were easily and successfully recycled. The formation of PdNPs in DES has been confirmed by TEM and XPS analysis and their role as catalyst by mercury test. The dynamic coordination of bipyridine-type ligand in the palladium complex formation has been studied via UV/Vis. (Figure presented.).

Antifungal activity of cinnamic acid and benzoic acid esters against Candida albicans strains

Candida albicans is an important opportunistic fungal pathogen capable of provoking infection in humans. In the present study, we evaluated the antifungal effect of 23 ester derivatives of the cinnamic and benzoic acids against 3 C. albicans strains (ATCC-76645, LM-106 and LM-23), as well as discuss their Structure–Activity Relationship (SAR). The antifungal assay results revealed that the screened compounds exhibited different levels of activity depending on structural variation. Among the ester analogues, methyl caffeate (5) and methyl 2-nitrocinnamate (10) were the analogues that presented the best antifungal effect against all C. albicans strains, presenting the same MIC values (MIC?=?128?μg/mL), followed by methyl biphenyl-2-carboxylate (21) (MIC?=?128, 128 and 256?μg/mL for C. albicans LM-106, LM-23, and ATCC-76645, respectively). Our results suggest that certain molecular characteristics are important for the antifungal action.

Planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane-based bisoxazoline ligands: Design, synthesis, and use in cu-catalyzed inter- and intramolecular asymmetric O-H insertion reactions

Centrally chiral bisoxazolines connected directly to a planar chiral [2.2]paracyclophane backbone were synthesized and evaluated as asymmetric ligands in Cu-catalyzed intermolecular ethanolic O-H insertion reactions of α-diazo esters. The reactivities and enantioselectivities of Cu complexes of the synthesized bisoxazoline ligands were lower than those of ligands without central chirality. However, planar chiral [2.2] paracyclophane-based bisoxazoline ligands with an inserted benzene spacer that had a sterically demanding isopropyl substituent showed good enantioselectivities in inter- and intramolecular aromatic O-H insertion reactions, without the aid of central chirality.

Synthesis and antioxidant activity of caffeic acid derivatives

A series of caffeic acid derivatives were synthesized via a modified Wittig reaction which is a very important tool in organic chemistry for the construction of unsaturated carbon–carbon bonds. All reactions were performed in water medium at 90?C. The aqueous Wittig reaction worked best when one unprotected hydroxyl group was present in the phenyl ring. The olefinations in the aqueous conditions were also conducted with good yields in the presence of two unprotected hydroxyl groups. When the number of the hydroxyl groups was increased to three, the reaction yields were worse, and the derivatives 12, 13, and 18 were obtained with 74%, 37%, and 70% yields, respectively. Nevertheless, the Wittig reaction using water as the essential medium is an elegant one-pot synthesis and a greener method, which can be a safe alternative for implementation in organic chemistry. The obtained compounds were tested for their antioxidant activity, and 12, 13, and 18 showed the highest activities. Moreover, all synthesized compounds displayed no cytotoxicity, and can therefore be used in the pharmaceutical or cosmetic industry.

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of Phenylpropanoids and Coumarins: Total Synthesis of Osthol

Herein we describe a one-pot microwave-assisted method for the synthesis of cinnamic acid and coumarin derivatives. The synthesis begins with an aldehyde synthon, and the chosen reaction conditions determine whether a cinnamic acid or coumarin derivative is formed. A regioselective Claisen rearrangement was also efficiently incorporated into the synthetic sequence to further increase the complexity of the product. Notably, this approach provides high product yields and selectivities without the need of a phenol protecting group.

Palladium-Catalyzed C?H Functionalization of Phenyl 2-Pyridylsulfonates

An efficient palladium(II)-catalyzed intermolecular direct ortho-alkenylation and acetoxylation of phenols has been developed. The reaction proceeded via a seven-membered cyclopalladated intermediate and showed complete regio- and diastereoselectivity. The approach also provided an efficient route for the synthesis of coumarins and benzofurans.
