Nematocidal and trichomonacidal activities of 2-substituted quinolines

Several quinolines were synthesized and evaluated in vitro and in vivo against the nematodes Caenorhabditis elegans, Heligmosomoides polygyrus and the protozoa Trichomonas vaginalis. If some of them have shown in vitro nematocide activity (at 10 μM), however, their trichomonacidal activity reached 50% reduction at only 100 μM. The in vivo activity on Trichinella spiralis model was evaluated for some of the most in vitro active quinolines.

Nickel(II)-Catalyzed Selective (E)-Olefination of Methyl Heteroarenes Using Benzyl Alcohols via Acceptorless Dehydrogenative Coupling Reaction

An efficient catalytic protocol for the synthesis of selective (E)-olefins by the newly synthesized nickel complexes via greener acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling methodology is presented. Two nickel(II) N, S chelating complexes were structurally characterized with the aid of spectral and single crystal X-ray diffraction methods. Olefination of 2-methylheteroarenes with benzyl alcohols via acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling is achieved by inexpensive nickel(II) catalysts. The present olefination protocol is simple and furnishes the desired 2-alkenylheteroarenes in 35 h and yields in the range of 40–93 %. The dehydrogenative coupling reaction proceeds via the generation of an aldehyde intermediate and produces water and hydrogen as sole by-products. The wide substrate scope of this catalytic reaction covered the synthesis of drug intermediates.

Direct alkenylation of alkylazaarenes with aldehydes through C(sp3)-H functionalization under catalytic InCl3 activation

Under the influence of InCl3 as a Lewis acid catalyst, a methodology on the C(sp3)-H functionalization of alkylazaarenes has been demonstrated through the activation of benzylic C-H bonds towards their addition reaction with the appropriate electrophiles. This methodology was chiefly applied in the direct alkenylation of primary and secondary benzylic C-H bonds of alkylazaarenes with aldehydes. A variety of alkenyl products were afforded in generally good yields including the starting alkenyl intermediate used in the synthesis of montelukast and other related molecules.

C2-Alkenylation of N-heteroaromatic compounds: Via Br?nsted acid catalysis

Substituted heteroaromatic compounds, especially those based on pyridine, hold a privileged position within drug discovery and medicinal chemistry. However, functionalisation of the C2 position of 6-membered heteroarenes is challenging because of (a) the difficulties of installing a halogen at this site and (b) the instability of C2 heteroaryl-metal reagents. Here we show that C2-alkenylated heteroaromatics can be accessed by simple Br?nsted acid catalysed union of diverse heteroarene N-oxides with alkenes. The approach is notable because (a) it is operationally simple, (b) the Br?nsted acid catalyst is cheap, non-toxic and sustainable, (c) the N-oxide activator disappears during the reaction, and (d) water is the sole stoichiometric byproduct of the process. The new protocol offers orthogonal functional group tolerance to metal-catalysed methods and can be integrated easily into synthetic sequences to provide polyfunctionalised targets. In broader terms, this study demonstrates how classical organic reactivity can still be used to provide solutions to contemporary synthetic challenges that might otherwise be approached using transition metal catalysis.

Cobalt-catalyzed direct alkenylation of 2-methylquinolines with aldehydes via C(sp3)-H functionalization in water

The direct C(sp3)-H alkenylation of 2-methylquinolines with aldehydes as a simple methodology to afford 2-alkenylated quinolines is reported. In the presence of catalytic CoCl2 in water, the economically and ecologically sound transformation is proposed to proceed via the direct benzylic addition to the aldehyde followed by an elimination step to provide 2-alkenylated quinolines in good to excellent yield of up to 95%.

A catalyst-free benzylic C-H bond olefination of azaarenes for direct mannich-like reactions

A highly efficient synthesis of trans-alkenylazaarene under catalyst-free conditions was developed via the addition of methylazaarenes to N-sulfonyl aldimines and a subsequent C-N elimination in situ. A one-pot procedure for this addition-elimination was also developed. The reaction could tolerate a broad substrate scope and give the corresponding alkenylazaarenes in high yields.
