Investigation of the use of green organic solvents for the Cu-catalysed arylation of phenols and amides is reported. Alkyl acetates proved to be efficient solvents in the catalytic processes, and therefore excellent alternatives to the typical non-green solvents used for Cu-catalysed arylation reactions. Solvents such as isosorbide dimethyl ether (DMI) and diethyl carbonate also appear to be viable possibilities for the arylation of phenols. Finally, a novel copper catalysed acyl transfer process is reported.

Structure-based drug design was utilized to develop novel, 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate-based small-molecule inhibitors of Mcl-1. Ligand design was driven by exploiting a salt bridge with R263 and interactions with the p2 pocket of the protein. Significantly, target molecules were accessed in just two synthetic steps, suggesting further optimization will require minimal synthetic effort. Molecular modeling using the Site-Identification by Ligand Competitive Saturation (SILCS) approach was used to qualitatively direct ligand design as well as develop quantitative models for inhibitor binding affinity to Mcl-1 and the Bcl-2 relative Bcl-xL as well as for the specificity of binding to the two proteins. Results indicated hydrophobic interactions in the p2 pocket dominated affinity of the most favourable binding ligand (3bl: Ki = 31 nM). Compounds were up to 19-fold selective for Mcl-1 over Bcl-xL. Selectivity of the inhibitors was driven by interactions with the deeper p2 pocket in Mcl-1 versus Bcl-xL. The SILCS-based SAR of the present compounds represents the foundation for the development of Mcl-1 specific inhibitors with the potential to treat a wide range of solid tumours and hematological cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia.

O- or N-arylated aminophenol products constitute a common structural motif in various potentially useful therapeutic agents and/or drug candidates. We have developed a complementary set of Cu- and Pd-based catalyst systems for the selective O- and N-arylation of unprotected aminophenols using aryl halides. Selective O-arylation of 3- and 4-aminophenols is achieved with copper-catalyzed methods employing picolinic acid or CyDMEDA, trans-N,N′-dimethyl-1,2- cyclohexanediamine, respectively, as the ligand. The selective formation of N-arylated products of 3- and 4-aminophenols can be obtained with BrettPhos precatalyst, a biarylmonophosphine-based palladium catalyst. 2-Aminophenol can be selectively N-arylated with CuI, although no system for the selective O-arylation could be found. Coupling partners with diverse electronic properties and a variety of functional groups can be selectively transformed under these conditions.
