Gold-containing indoles as anticancer agents that potentiate the cytotoxic effects of ionizing radiation
Craig, Sandra,Gao, Lei,Lee, Irene,Gray, Thomas,Berdis, Anthony J.
, p. 2437 - 2451 (2012)
This report describes the design and application of several distinct gold-containing indoles as anticancer agents. When used individually, all gold-bearing compounds display cytostatic effects against leukemia and adherent cancer cell lines. However, two gold-bearing indoles show unique behavior by increasing the cytotoxic effects of clinically relevant levels of ionizing radiation. Quantifying the amount of DNA damage demonstrates that each gold-indole enhances apoptosis by inhibiting DNA repair. Both Au(I)-indoles were tested for inhibitory effects against various cellular targets including thioredoxin reductase, a known target of several gold compounds, and various ATP-dependent kinases. While neither compound significantly inhibits the activity of thioreoxin reductase, both showed inhibitory effects against several kinases associated with cancer initiation and progression. The inhibition of these kinases provides a possible mechanism for the ability of these Au(I)-indoles to potentiate the cytotoxic effects of ionizing radiation. Clinical applications of combining Au(I)-indoles with ionizing radiation are discussed as a new strategy to achieve chemosensitization of cancer cells.

We describe a new electrophotocatalytic strategy that harnesses the power of light and electricity to generate an excited radical anion with a reducing potential of -3.2 V vs SCE, which can be used to activate substrates with very high reduction potentials (Ered ≈ -1.9 to -2.9 V). The resultant aryl radicals can be engaged in various synthetically useful transformations to furnish arylboronate, arylstannane, and biaryl products.

The copper-photocatalyzed borylation of aryl, heteroaryl, vinyl and alkyl halides (I and Br) was reported. The reaction proceeded using a new heteroleptic Cu complex under irradiation with blue LEDs, giving the corresponding boronic-acid esters in good to excellent yields. The reaction was extended to continuous-flow conditions to allow an easy scale-up. The mechanism of the reaction was studied and a mechanism based on a reductive quenching (CuI/CuI*/Cu0) was suggested.

The first photoinduced carbon(sp2)–heteroatom bond forming reaction by a rare-earth-metal photoreductant, a Miyaura borylation, has been achieved. This simple, scalable, and novel borylation method that makes use of the hexachlorocerate(III) anion ([CeIIICl6]3?, derived from CeCl3) has a broad substrate scope and functional-group tolerance and can be conducted at room temperature. Combined with Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling, the method is applicable to the synthesis of various biaryl products, including through the use of aryl chloride substrates.
Transition-Metal-Free, Visible-Light-Enabled Decarboxylative Borylation of Aryl N-Hydroxyphthalimide Esters
Candish, Lisa,Teders, Michael,Glorius, Frank
, p. 7440 - 7443 (2017/06/13)
Herein, we report a conceptually novel borylation reaction proceeding via a mild photoinduced decarboxylation of redox-activated aromatic carboxylic acids. This work constitutes the first application of cheap and easily prepared N-hydroxyphthalimide esters as aryl radical precursors and does not require the use of expensive transition metals or ligands. The reaction is operationally simple, scalable, and displays broad scope and functional group tolerance.

Copper-mediated fluorination of arylboronate esters. Identification of a Copper(III) fluoride complex
Fier, Patrick S.,Luo, Jingwei,Hartwig, John F.
supporting information, p. 2552 - 2559 (2013/03/29)
A method for the direct conversion of arylboronate esters to aryl fluorides under mild conditions with readily available reagents is reported. Tandem reactions have also been developed for the fluorination of arenes and aryl bromides through arylboronate ester intermediates. Mechanistic studies suggest that this fluorination reaction occurs through facile oxidation of Cu(I) to Cu(III), followed by rate-limiting transmetalation of a bound arylboronate to Cu(III). Fast C-F reductive elimination is proposed to occur from an aryl-copper(III)-fluoride complex. Cu(III) intermediates have been generated independently and identified by NMR spectroscopy and ESI-MS.

Arylboronic acids and arylpinacolboronate esters in suzuki coupling reactions involving indoles. Partner role swapping and heterocycle protection
Prieto, Monica,Zurita, Esther,Rosa, Esmeralda,Munoz, Lourdes,Lloyd-Williams, Paul,Giralt, Ernest
, p. 6812 - 6820 (2007/10/03)
Yields of Suzuki couplings involving indoles depended upon (i) whether arylboronic acids or arylpinacolboronate esters were used, (ii) whether the heterocycle was the aryl halide or the arylboron coupling partner, and (iii) whether the heterocycle was protected or not. Highest yields, which were unaffected by incorporating Boc or Tos protection at the heterocyclic nitrogen, were obtained when indole bromides were reacted with phenylboronic acids. When indolylboronic acids were reacted with phenyl bromides, yields were somewhat lower and depended on the nitrogen substituent, being highest in the absence of protection, lower in the presence of the Boc group, and lowest of all with the Tos group. Arylpinacolboronate esters were less reactive than arylboronic acids. They required considerably longer reaction times and furnished generally lower yields of biaryl. Furthermore, irrespective of whether the heterocycle was the aryl bromide or the arylpinacolboronate ester, these yields were highest when it was protected with the Tos group. Yields were lower with the Boc group, and unprotected heterocycles gave only traces of biaryl. Careful selection of arylboron reagent, of coupling partner roles, and of protecting groups are essential to ensuring optimum results in these Suzuki couplings. These results may also be relevant to couplings involving other substrates.
