The selective synthesis of aromatic and heteroaromatic amides through base-catalysed hydration of nitriles was achieved using inexpensive and commercially available NaOH as the only catalyst. A wide range of nitriles was selectively converted to their corresponding amides. Kinetic studies show that the double hydration of nitriles towards undesirable carboxylic acids is negligible under our reaction conditions.

Abstract A practically simple method for the synthesis of primary amides via the palladium-catalysed aminocarbonylation of aromatic halides by using solid sources of gaseous ammonia and carbon monoxide is described. The system tolerated a wide variety of hindered and functionalized aryl/hetero halides and afforded good to excellent yields (69-94%) of the amide. Pharmacologically active Exalamide and Pyrazinecarboxamide were synthesised in high yields to demonstrate the effectiveness of this method.

A gold-based catalytic system that efficiently mediates the hydration of a broad spectrum of nitriles, including aromatic, heteroaromatic and aliphatic examples and efficiently catalyze the hydration of a range of organonitriles has been reported. Nitriles are considered inert in the context gold catalysis and have only been used as reaction solvent or as throw-away ligands in well-defined cationic gold catalysis. The obtained product was purified by flash chromatography using a gradient of pentane/ethyl acetate and compound 1 was isolated as a colorless solid. Aromatic substrates bearing two nitrile groups as in rn-benzenedinitrile and p-benzenedinitrile underwent double nitrile hydration and afforded excellent yields in the corresponding diamides. There is high relevance for the use of cationic gold complexes bearing such ligands and should have important implications in catalysis.

Human Rhinovirus (HRV) is the most important aetiologic agent of common cold in adults and children. HRV is a single-stranded, positive sense RNA virus and, despite the high level of conservation among different serotypes, sequence alignment of viral protease 3C with mammalian protease reveals no homology. Thus, protease 3C is an optimal target for the development of anti-HRV agents. In the present work we investigated the design, the synthesis and the development of new potential reversible inhibitors against HRV protease 3C. Docking studies on the crystallized structure of HRV2 protease 3C led us to the design and the synthesis of a series of 3,5 disubstituted benzamides able to act as analogues of the substrate. We also developed 1,3,5 trisubstituted benzamides where aromatic substitutions on the aryl ring led us to investigate the importance of π-π interaction on the stabilization of protease 3C-inhibitor complex. All structures were tested for enzymatic inhibition on HRV14 protease 3C. Results highlighted the inhibitory activity of compounds 13, 14, and 20 (91%, 81%, and 85% at 10 μM, respectively), with the latter exhibiting an ID50 (dose that inhibits 50% of the viral cytopathic effect) on HRV-14 = 25 μg/ml.

Inhibitors of poly(ADP-ribose)polymerase (PARP) inhibit repair of damaged DNA and thus potentiate radiotherapy and chemotherapy of cancer. 3-Substituted benzamides and 5-substituted isoquinolin-1-ones have been synthesised and evaluated for inhibition of PARP. Reduction of 3-(bromoacetyl)benzamide, followed by treatment with base, gave RS-3-oxiranylbenzamide. Reduction of 3-(hydroxyacetyl)benzonitrile with bakers' yeast gave the R-diol which was converted to R-3-(1,2-dihydroxyethyl)benzamide. Similar reduction of 3-(acetoxyacetyl)benzonitrile led towards the S-diol which was converted to its cyclic acetonide. E-2-(2,6-Dicyanophenyl)-N,N-dimethylethenamine was formed by condensation of 2,6-dicyanotoluene with dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (DMFDMA); cyclisation under acidic conditions afforded 5-cyanoisoquinolin-1-one. Heck coupling of 5-iodoisoquinolin-1-one with propenoic acid formed E-3-(1-oxoisoquinolin-5-yl)propenoic acid. 3-Oxiranylbenzamide, 5-bromoisoquinolin-1-one and 5-iodoisoquinolin-1-one were among the most potent inhibitors of PARP activity in a preliminary screen in vitro.
