β-Lactams are important structural motifs because of their ubiquity in natural products and pharmaceuticals. We report herein a Cu-catalyzed intramolecular oxidative C(sp3)?H amidation for the synthesis of β-lactams using tBuOOtBu. This method

A series of sixteen ring-substituted N-arylcinnamanilides, previously described as highly antimicrobially effective against a wide spectrum of bacteria and fungi, together with two new derivatives from this group were prepared and characterized. Moreover, the molecular structure of (2E)-N-(2-bromo-5-fluorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enamide as a model compound was determined using single-crystal X-ray analysis. All the compounds were tested for their anti-inflammatory potential, and most tested compounds significantly attenuated the lipopolysaccharide-induced NF-κB activation and were more potent than the parental cinnamic acid. (2E)-N-[2-Chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-3-phenylprop-2-enamide, (2E)-N-(2,6-dibromophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enamide, and (2E)-N-(2,5-dichlorophenyl)-3-phenylprop-2-enamide demonstrated the highest inhibition effect on transcription factor NF-κB at the concentration of 2 μM and showed a similar effectiveness as the reference drug prednisone. Several compounds also decreased the level of TNF-α. Nevertheless, subsequent tests showed that the investigated compounds affect neither IκBα level nor MAPKs activity, which suggests that the N-arylcinnamanilides may have a different mode of action to prednisone. The modification of the C(2,5)0 or C(2,6)0 positions of the anilide core by rather lipophilic and bulky moieties seems to be preferable for the anti-inflammatory potential of these compounds.
Ligand- and Additive-Controlled Pd-Catalyzed Aminocarbonylation of Alkynes with Aminophenols: Highly Chemo- and Regioselective Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Amides

This work describes the chemo- and regioselective direct aminocarbonylation of alkynes and aminophenols to form hydroxy-substituted α,β-unsaturated amides in good to excellent yields. The latter are valuable compounds in pharmaceuticals and natural products. By a simple choice of different ligands and additives, branched or linear isomers could be selectively formed in excellent regioselectivity. Using a combination of boronic acid and 5-chlorosalicylic acid ( BCSA ) as the additives, linear amides were obtained in high yields and selectivities using 1,2-bis(di-tert-butylphosphinomethyl)benzene (DTBPMB) as the ligand. On the other hand, branched amides could be approached by introducing 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane as the ligand and p-TsOH·H2O as the additive. In addition to the hydroxyl group, other functional substituents, such as carboxyl and vinyl groups, could also be tolerated using this method. As an application of this strategy, the natural product avenanthramide A could be synthesized directly in 84% yield and in 99% regioselectivity via the carbonylation of 2-amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid and 4-ethynylphenol. Further studies show that the ligands and the additives are keys to good yields and selectivities.
