Paragraph 0033-0036, (2021/04/14)
The invention relates to a half-sandwich ruthenium complex containing a phenyl benzoxazole structure as well as a preparation method and application of the half-sandwich ruthenium complex. The ruthenium complex has the following structure as shown in the specification. The preparation method comprises the steps of dissolving phenyl benzoxazole, [CymRuCl2] 2 and sodium acetate in methanol at room temperature, heating the system, and continuing to react; and after the reaction is finished, standing, filtering, carrying out reduced pressure pumping on the solvent, carrying out column chromatography separation on the obtained crude product to obtain the red half-sandwich ruthenium complex containing the phenyl benzoxazole structure, and applying the red half-sandwich ruthenium complex to catalysis of oxidation of alkyl pyridine compounds to prepare nitrogen heterocyclic ketone compounds. Compared with the prior art, the preparation method provided by the invention is simple and green, the catalytic oxidation reaction can be carried out under mild conditions, and the catalyst has high stability and is not sensitive to air and water.

Flavin-dependent ‘ene’-reductases (EREDs) are highly selective catalysts for the asymmetric reduction of activated alkenes. This function is, however, limited to enones, enoates, and nitroalkenes using the native hydride transfer mechanism. Here we demonstrate that EREDs can reduce vinyl pyridines when irradiated with visible light in the presence of a photoredox catalyst. Experimental evidence suggests the reaction proceeds via a radical mechanism where the vinyl pyridine is reduced to the corresponding neutral benzylic radical in solution. DFT calculations reveal this radical to be “dynamically stable”, suggesting it is sufficiently long-lived to diffuse into the enzyme active site for stereoselective hydrogen atom transfer. This reduction mechanism is distinct from the native one, highlighting the opportunity to expand the synthetic capabilities of existing enzyme platforms by exploiting new mechanistic models.

Ortho-alkylated and ortho-acylated pyridines have been conveniently synthesized from pyridine N-oxides and alkynes under visible-light-mediation in a metal-free manner. The alkynes served as both alkylating and acylating agents via switching between anaerobic and aerobic conditions. The overall strategy accommodates a broad scope of substituted pyridine N-oxides and alkynes, with excellent regioselectivity in a number of cases.

A practical heterogeneous palladium-catalyzed carbonylative Suzuki coupling of aryl iodides with arylboronic acids under carbon monoxide gas-free conditions has been developed using a bidentate phosphino-functionalized magnetic nanoparticle-immobilized palladium(II) complex as catalyst. Formic acid was utilized as the carbon monoxide source with dicyclohexylcarbodiimide as the activator, and a wide variety of biaryl ketones were generated in moderate to high yields. The new heterogeneous palladium catalyst can be prepared via a simple procedure and can easily be separated from a reaction mixture by simply applying an external magnet and recycled up to 10 times without any loss of activity.

The carbonylative Suzuki cross-coupling of 2-bromopyridine with various boronic acids to prepare unsymmetrical arylpyridine ketones has been carried out using palladium/N-heterocyclic carbene complexes as catalysts prepared in situ. The selectivity and the rate of these reactions are highly dependent on the conditions, i.e., nature of the palladium catalyst precursor, solvent, temperature and CO pressure. The main side-products arise from direct, non-carbonylative cross-coupling. Under the optimum conditions, arylpyridine ketones are recovered in high yields (60–88%). The antibacterial activities of the corresponding benzimidazole salts 2 were tested against Gram positive and negative bacteria using the agar dilution procedure, and their IC50 values have been determined.

Directed evolution of enzymes for the asymmetric reduction of prochiral ketones to produce enantio-pure secondary alcohols is particularly attractive in organic synthesis. Loops located at the active pocket of enzymes often participate in conformational changes required to fine-tune residues for substrate binding and catalysis. It is therefore of great interest to control the substrate specificity and stereochemistry of enzymatic reactions by manipulating the conformational dynamics. Herein, a secondary alcohol dehydrogenase was chosen to enantioselectively catalyze the transformation of difficult-to-reduce bulky ketones, which are not accepted by the wildtype enzyme. Guided by previous work and particularly by structural analysis and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, two key residues alanine 85 (A85) and isoleucine 86 (I86) situated at the binding pocket were thought to increase the fluctuation of a loop region, thereby yielding a larger volume of the binding pocket to accommodate bulky substrates. Subsequently, site-directed saturation mutagenesis was performed at the two sites. The best mutant, where residue alanine 85 was mutated to glycine and isoleucine 86 to leucine (A85G/I86L), can efficiently reduce bulky ketones to the corresponding pharmaceutically interesting alcohols with high enantioselectivities (～99% ee). Taken together, this study demonstrates that introducing appropriate mutations at key residues can induce a higher flexibility of the active site loop, resulting in the improvement of substrate specificity and enantioselectivity.

Metal-free halogen(I) catalysts were used for the selective oxidation of aryl(heteroaryl)methanes [C(sp3)?H] to ketones [C(sp2)=O] or esters [C(sp3)?O]. The synthesis of ketones was performed with a catalytic amount of NBS in DMSO solvent. Experimental studies and density functional theory (DFT) calculations supported the formation of halogen bonding (XB) between the heteroarene and N-bromosuccinimide, which enabled imine–enamine tautomerism of the substrates. No additional activator was required for this crucial step. Isotope-labeling and other supporting experiments suggested that a Kornblum-type oxidation with DMSO and aerobic oxygenation with molecular oxygen took place simultaneously. A background XB-assisted electron transfer between the heteroarenes and halogen(I) catalysts was responsible for the formation of heterobenzylic radicals and, thus, the aerobic oxygenation. For selective acyloxylation (ester formation), a catalytic amount of iodine was employed with tert-butyl hydroperoxide in aliphatic carboxylic acid solvent. Several control reactions, spectroscopic studies, and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD–DFT) calculations established the presence of acetyl hypoiodite as an active halogen(I) species in the acetoxylation process. With the help of a selectivity study, for the first time we report that the strength of the XB interaction and the frontier orbital mixing between the substrates and acyl hypoiodites determined the extent of the background electron-transfer process and, thus, the selectivity of the reaction.

Herein, we report an original one-step, simple, room-temperature, regioselective Minisci reaction for the acylation of electron-deficient heteroarenes with alkynes. The method has broad functional group compatibility and gives exclusively monoacylated products in good to excellent yields. The mechanistic pathway was analyzed based on a series of experiments confirming the involvement of a radical pathway. The 18O-labeling experiment suggested that water is a source of oxygen in the acylated product, and head space GC-MS experiment shows the C-C cleavage occurs via release as CO2.

N,N-Substituted benzimidazole salts were successfully synthesized and characterized by 1H-NMR, 13C {1H} NMR and IR techniques, which support the proposed structures. Catalysts generated in situ were efficiently used for the carbonylative cross-coupling reaction of 2 bromopyridine with various boronic acids. The reaction was carried out in THF at 110 °C in the presence of K2CO3 under inert conditions and yields unsymmetrical arylpyridine ketones. All N,N-substituted benzimidazole salts 2a-i and 4a-i studied in this work were screened for their cytotoxic activities against human cancer cell lines such us MDA-MB-231, MCF-7 and T47D. The N,N-substituted benzimidazoles 2e and 2f exhibited the most cytotoxic effect with promising cytotoxic activity with IC50 values of 4.45 μg mL?1 against MDA-MB-231 and 4.85 μg mL?1 against MCF7 respectively.

A highly enantioselective transfer hydrogenation of non-ortho-substituted aryl N-heteroaryl ketones, using readily available chiral diamine-derived iridium complex (S,S)-1f as a catalyst and sodium formate as a hydrogen source in a mixture of H2O/i-PrOH (v/v = 1:1) under ambient conditions, is described. The chiral aryl N-heteroaryl methanols were obtained with up to 98.2% ee by introducing an N-oxide as a removable ortho-substituent. In contrast, no more than 15.1% ee was observed in the absence of an N-oxide moiety. Furthermore, the practical utility of this protocol was also demonstrated by gram-scale asymmetric synthesis of bepotastine besilate in 51% total yield and 99.9% ee.
