Method for promoting acylation of amine or alcohol by carbon dioxide

The invention relates to a method for promoting acylation of amine or alcohol by carbon dioxide, which comprises the following steps of: mixing an amine compound, carboxylate or thiocarboxylate compound and a reaction solvent under the action of carbon dioxide, and reacting to obtain an amide compound, or under the action of carbon dioxide, mixing the alcohol compound, the thiocarboxylate compound and the reaction solvent [gamma]-valerolactone, and reacting to obtain the ester compound. According to the invention, under the promotion action of carbon dioxide, carboxylate or thiocarboxylate is used as an acylation reagent, and amine and alcohol are converted into amide and ester compounds in the absence of a transition metal catalyst, so that acylation reagents such as acyl chloride or anhydride with irritation and corrosivity are avoided; and the method has the advantages of simple operation, mild reaction conditions, high tolerance of substrate functional groups, strong applicability and high yield, and provides an efficient, reliable and economical preparation method for synthesis of amide and ester compounds.

A novel construction of acetamides from rhodium-catalyzed aminocarbonylation of DMC with nitro compounds

Dimethyl carbonate (DMC), an environment-friendly compound prepared from CO2, shows diverse reactivities. In this communication, an efficient procedure using DMC as both a C1 building block and solvent in the aminocarbonylation reaction with nitro compounds has been developed. W(CO)6acts both a CO source and a reductant here.

Discovery of the cancer cell selective dual acting anti-cancer agent (Z)-2-(1H-indol-3-yl)-3-(isoquinolin-5-yl)acrylonitrile (A131)

Selective targeting of cancer cells over normal cells is a key objective of targeted therapy. However few approaches achieve true mechanistic selectivity resulting in debilitating side effects and dose limitation. In this work we describe the discovery of A131 (4a), a new agent with an unprecedented dual mechanism of action targeting both mitosis and autophagy. Compound 4a was first identified in a phenotypic screen in which HeLa cells treated with 4a manifested mitotic arrest along with formation of multiple vesicles. Further investigations showed that 4a causes an increase in mitotic marker pH3 and autophagy marker LC3. Importantly 4a induces cell death in cancer cells while sparing normal cells which regrow after 4a is removed. Dual activities against pH3 and LC3 markers are required for cancer cell selectivity. An extensive SAR investigation confirmed 4a as the optimal dual inhibitor with potency against a panel of 30 cancer cell lines (average antiproliferative GI50 1.5 μM). In a mouse model of paclitaxel-resistant colon cancer, 4a showed 74% tumor growth inhibition when administered at a dose of 20 mg/kg IP twice a day.
