The influence of ionic liquids on the Knoevenagel condensation of 1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde with phenyl acetonitriles-cytotoxic 3-substituted-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)acrylonitriles

The Knoevenagel condensation of a series of substituted phenyl acetonitriles with 1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde was examined in seven 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium based ionic liquids and three protic ionic liquids. Of these [BMIM][Br] and [BMIM][OH], with cata

A flow chemistry route to 2-phenyl-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)propan-1-amines

The Knoevenagel condensation of pyrrole-2-carboxaldehyde (1) with a range of substituted benzyl nitriles (2a-e) afforded rapid access to a family of α,β-unsaturated nitriles (3a-e) in good yields (67-78%). Flow hydrogenation (ThalesNano H-cube) at 60 °C, 50 bar H2 pressure, 1.0 mL/min through a 10% Pd-C catalyst selectively, and quantitatively, hydrogenated the olefin double bond (4a-e). Use of a Raney Nickel catalyst at 70 °C, 70 bar H2 pressure and flow rates of 0.5-1.0 mL/min afforded quantitative conversion into the corresponding saturated amines with the reduction of both the olefin and nitrile bonds (5a-e). The versatility of this approach was further exemplified by reaction of 5a and 5c with norcantharidin to afford acid amide norcantharidin analogues 7 and 8 as novel protein phosphatase 1 and 2A inhibitors.

Norcantharidin analogues with nematocidal activity in Haemonchus contortus

With the major problems with resistance in parasitic nematodes of livestock to anthelmintic drugs, there is an urgent need to develop new nematocides. In the present study, we employed a targeted approach for the design of a series of norcantharidin analogues (n = 54) for activity testing against the barber's pole worm (Haemonchus contortus) of small ruminants in a larval development assay (LDA) and also for toxicity testing on nine distinct human cell lines. Although none of the 54 analogues synthesized were toxic to any of these cell lines, three of them (N-octyl-7-oxabicyclo(2.2.1)heptane-2,3-dicarboximide (B2), N-decyl-7-oxabicyclo(2.2.1)heptane-2,3-dicarboximide (B3) and 4-[(4-methyl)-3-ethyl-2-methyl-5-phenylfuran-10-oxa-4-azatricyclo[5.2.1] decane-3,5-dione (B21) reproducibly displayed 99-100% lethality to H. contortus in LDA, with LD50s of 25-40 μM. The high 'hit rate' (5.6%) indicates that the approach taken here has advantages over conventional drug screening methods. A major advantage of norcantharidin analogues over some other currently available anthelmintics is that they can be produced in one to two steps in large amounts at low cost and high purity, and do not require any additional steps for the isolation of the active isomer. This positions them well for commercial development.

Discovery of (Z)-2-phenyl-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)acrylonitrile derivatives active against Haemonchus contortus and Ctenocephalides felis (cat flea)

A series of 2-phenyl-3-(1H-pyrrol-2-yl)acrylonitrile derivatives were synthesized and evaluated for in vitro activity against the endoparasite Haemonchus contortus and the ectoparasite Ctenocephalides felis. Some compounds had significant in vitro activit

Facile one-pot synthesis of 2-aryl-substituted nitriles and 2-aryl-3-keto nitriles via benzyne reaction

2-Aryl-substituted nitriles were prepared in good to excellent yields in a one-pot reaction by the reaction of benzyne, generated using neutral conditions from (phenyl)[o-(trimethylsilyl)-phenyl]iodonium triflate, and 2-lithionitriles. 3-Keto nitriles substituted at the 2-position were obtained in good yields when these reactions were trapped with acid chlorides. The mechanism of the benzyne reaction in terms of a N-lithiobenzocyclobutanimine intermediate is discussed. Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Replacement Substituent Constants for Simple Heterocycles

13C nmr absorptions are reported for the β-vinylic carbon atoms in 15 series of ethylenes bearing heterocyclic substituents.The data are used to establish the best single-parameter substituent constants, ?13, for the various heterocycles as replacements for para-substituted benzenes.Also reported are replacement dual substituent constants, including ?I and the various ?R scales needed in the Taft DSP treatment and those for F and R used in the Swain-Lupton treatment.Values of ?13, F, R, ?I, and ?Ro, respectively, for the various heterocycles as replacements for para-substituted benzenes are as follows: 2-furyl, -1.01 , 0.99, -2.51, 0.65, -0.60; 2-pyrryl, -2.53, 0.52, -5.09, -0.16, -0.62; 2-thienyl, -0.79, 2.49, -3.60, 1.82, -1.08; 3-thienyl, -0.40, 1.04, -1.57, 0.59, -0.39; 2-pyridyl, 0.88, 2.09, -0.24, 1.65, -0.45; 3-pyridyl, 0.60, 0.57, 0.63, 0.35, 0.04; and 4-pyridyl, 1.18, 1.22, 1.09, 0.92, -0.01.The DSP-NLR method of analysis is explored using electron demand parameters, ε, as determined for the vinylic side chains in para-substituted styrenes.
