A surfactant based oxodiperoxo molybdenum complex, which could activate molecular oxygen, has been employed as a catalyst for controlled oxidation of benzylic alcohols to corresponding carbonyls. The oxidation reactions were carried out under aqueous environment, however, in the absence of any extraneous base or co-catalyst. Sensitive/oxidizable functional groups like cyano, sulfide, hydroxyl, aryl-hydroxyl, alkene (internal/terminal), alkyne (internal/terminal), and acetal were tolerated during the transformations. Such selectivity is attributed to the mild nature of the catalyst. The methodology could also be scaled-up for multi-gram synthesis and the protocol is likely to find practical use since it requires an inexpensive recyclable-catalyst and easily available oxidant (under green conditions). A plausible mechanism is proposed with the help of preliminary computational study.
Solvent free, light induced 1,2-bromine shift reaction of α-bromo ketones

Photolysis of α-bromopropiophenones in acetonitrile results in formation of β-bromopropiophenones with good product selectivity, which can be coined as 1,2-Br shift reaction. The product selectivity increases when the reaction is done in neat or solid state, where only the 1,2-Br shift product is formed in some cases. The reaction is suggested to proceed by C–Br bond homolysis to give a radical pair, followed by disproportionation and conjugate addition of HBr to the α,β-unsaturated ketone intermediate. When the unsaturated intermediate is stabilized by an extra conjugation, the reaction stops at the stage, in which the unsaturated ketone becomes a major product. The synthetic method described in this research fits in a category of eco-friendly organic synthesis nicely since the reaction does not use volatile organic solvents and any other additives such as acid, base or metal catalysts, etc. Besides, the method fits into perfect atom economy, which does not give any side products. The synthetic method should find much advantage over other alternative methods to obtain β-bromo carbonyl compounds.

Selective oxidation of aliphatic C-H bonds in alkylphenols serves significant roles not only in generation of functionalized intermediates that can be used to synthesize diverse downstream chemical products, but also in biological degradation of these environmentally hazardous compounds. Chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity; controllability; and environmental impact represent the major challenges for chemical oxidation of alkylphenols. Here, we report the development of a unique chemomimetic biocatalytic system originated from the Gram-positive bacterium Corynebacterium glutamicum. The system consisting of CreHI (for installation of a phosphate directing/ anchoring group), CreJEF/CreG/CreC (for oxidation of alkylphenols), and CreD (for directing/anchoring group offloading) is able to selectively oxidize the aliphatic C-H bonds of p-And m-Alkylated phenols in a controllable manner. Moreover, the crystal structures of the central P450 biocatalyst CreJ in complex with two representative substrates provide significant structural insights into its substrate flexibility and reaction selectivity.

Chalcone is a simple and potentially privileged structure in medicinal chemistry with a diverse repertoire of biological activities, among which cytotoxicity is of particular interest. The sharp structure–activity relationship (SAR) for chalcone's cytotoxicity suggests structure-specific target interactions. Despite the numerous putative targets proposed, evidence for direct target interactions in cells is unavailable. In this study, guided by the sharp cytotoxic SAR, we developed a cytotoxic chalcone-based photoaffinity labeling (PAL) probe, (E)-3-(3-azidophenyl)-1-[3,5-dimethoxy-4-(prop-2-yn-1-yloxy)phenyl]-2-methylprop-2-en-1-one (C95; IC50: 0.38±0.01 μm), along with two structurally similar non-cytotoxic probes. These probes were used to search for the direct cellular target responsible for chalcone's cytotoxicity through intact cell-based PAL experiments, in which β-tubulin was identified to specifically interact with the cytotoxic probe (i.e., C95) but not the non-cytotoxic probes. A set of phenotypical and biochemical assays further reinforced β-tubulin as the cytotoxic target of chalcones. Peptide mass quantitation by mass spectrometric analysis revealed one peptide potentially labeled by C95, providing information on chalcone's binding site on β-tubulin.
PHOTOLABILE PRO-FRAGRANCES

Paragraph 0094-0100, (2015/04/15)
Fragrances that provide a scent of freshness tend to be volatile and are therefore not very economical when used in typical applications such as washing or cleaning processes, so they have to be used in relatively large quantities to be able to produce adequate effects. The disclosed photolabile pro-fragrances provide a much longer-lasting sense of fragrance, in particular with a scent of freshness, when used in typical applications, thus allowing said fragrances to be used economically.

An unprecedented Rh-catalyzed direct methylation of ketones with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) is disclosed. The reaction shows a broad substrate scope, tolerating both aryl and alkyl ketones with various substituents. Mechanistic studies suggest that DMF delivers a methylene fragment followed by a hydride in the methylation process.

(tert-Butyl)(dimethyl)silyl (tBuMe2Si; TBS) phenyl/alkyl ethers were efficiently cleaved to the corresponding parent hydroxy compounds in good yields using catalytic amounts of Ce(SO4) 2·4 H2O by microwave-assisted or conventional heating in MeOH. Intramolecular and competitive experiments demonstrated the chemoselective deprotection of TBS ethers in the presence of triisopropylsilyl (iPr3Si; TIPS) and (tert-butyl)(diphenyl)silyl ( tBuPh2Si; TBDPS) ethers.
