Dihydropyrimidinones: Efficient one-pot green synthesis using Montmorillonite-KSF and evaluation of their cytotoxic activity

A simple, efficient, cost-effective, recyclable and green approach has been developed for the synthesis of new dihydropyrimidinone analogs via the Biginelli reaction. The methodology involves a multicomponent reaction catalyzed by "HPA-Montmorillonite-KSF"as a reusable and heterogeneous catalyst. This method gives an efficient and much improved modification of the original Biginelli reaction, in terms of yield and short reaction times under solvent free conditions. All the derivatives were subjected to cytotoxicity screening against a panel of four different human cancer cell lines viz. colon (Colo-205), prostate (PC-3), leukemia (THP-1) and lung (A549) to check their effect on percentage growth. MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-yl)-diphenyl tetrazoliumbromide] cytotoxicity assay was employed to check IC50 values. Of the synthesized analogs, 16a showed the best activity with IC50 of 7.1 ± 0.8, 13.1 ± 1.4, 13.8 ± 0.9 and 14.7 ± 1.1 μM against lung (A549), leukemia (THP-1), prostate (PC-3) and colon (Colo-205) cancer lines, respectively. The 16a analog was further checked for its effect on cancer cell properties through clonogenic (colony formation) and scratch motility (wound healing) assays and thereby was found that it reduced both the colony formation and migratory properties of the lung cancer cell line (A549). Further, molecular docking studies were performed with 16a to show its binding mode. This journal is

Efficient Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones Catalyzed by a Phosphine-Free Cobalt-NHC Complex

A simple phosphine-free cobalt-NHC pincer complex has been synthesized and utilized for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones with 2-propanol as hydrogen donor. A broad range of ketones varying from aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic were effectively reduced to their corresponding alcohols in moderate to excellent yields with good tolerance of functional groups.

Stepwise degradation of hydroxyl compounds to aldehydes: Via successive C-C bond cleavage

Stepwise degradation of hydroxyl compounds to aldehydes via successive cleavage of C-C bonds was achieved by using a bimetallic catalytic system (PdCl2 + CuCl) without any ligands and additives. The broad applicability is expanded to a diverse range of aromatic, aliphatic, primary and secondary alcohols, as well as lignin model compounds.

Highly selective direct azidation of alcohols over a heterogeneous povidone-phosphotungstic solid acid catalyst

A simple protocol for the selective azidation of alcohols is developed using a solid acid hybrid of a povidone and phosphotungstic acid (PVP-PWA) using azidotrimethylsilane as an azide source at room temperature. In a broad substrate scope, various activated as well as unactivated benzylic and diphenyl alcohols were treated smoothly with TMS-N3 to selectively produce only azide products with excellent yields in a very short reaction time of 2 h. FT-IR confirmed the stability of the catalyst with retention of the Keggins structure after the reaction. Recycling experiments demonstrated the reusability of the PVP-PWA (3?:?1) several times without losing its original activity.

Nickel phthalocyanine assisted highly efficient and selective carbonyl reduction in polyethylene glycol-400

Nickel phthalocyanine with polyethylene glycol- 400 is described as a reusable green catalytic system for highly chemo- and regioselective reduction of carbonyl compounds to corresponding alcohols at room temperature. The catalytic system showed wide substrate scope covering aromatic, hetero aromatic and aliphatic carbonyl compounds with high turnover number and frequency. In the present study, 1,3- and 1,4-benzenedicarbaldehydes have been regioselectively reduced to corresponding alcohols for the first time. The catalyst was reused up to seven times without any significance loss in activity. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012.

Bu4N[Fe(CO)3(NO)]-catalyzed hydrosilylation of aldehydes and ketones

The nucleophilic Fe complex Bu4N[Fe(CO)3(NO)] (TBAFe) has been used as a highly active catalyst for the mild hydrosilylation of a variety of functionalized aldehydes and ketones using inexpensive PMHS as stoichiometric reductant. The corresponding alcohols were obtained in good-to-excellent yields at low catalyst loadings of only 1 mol-% and reaction temperatures of 30-50 °C.

A RuII-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex from metal-metal singly bonded diruthenium(I) precursor: Synthesis, structure and catalytic evaluation

A mononuclear Ru(II)-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex [Ru II(CO)2(κ2C,N-BIN)(H2O)Br] [OTf] (OTf = trifluoromethane sulphonate) (1) has been synthesized in high-yield by the oxidative cleavage of the metal-metal singly-bonded diruthenium(I) precursor [Ru2(CO)4(CH3CN)6(OTf) 2] with 1,8-naphthyridine functionalized NHC precursor 1-benzyl-3-(5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyrid-2-yl)imidazolium bromide (BIN·HBr) at room temperature. Compound 1 catalyzes transfer hydrogenation of ketones to alcohols, and carbene-transfer from ethyl diazoacetate to a variety of substrates. It is shown to be an excellent catalyst for the insertion of carbene into the O-H and N-H bonds of alcohols and amines.

Bis(imino)pyridine iron complexes for aldehyde and ketone hydrosilylation

(Chemical Equation Presented) Bis(imino)pyridine iron dinitrogen and dialkyl complexes are well-defined precatalysts for the chemo- and regioselective reduction of aldehydes and ketones. Efficient carbonyl hydrosilylation is observed at low (0.1-1.0 mol %) catalyst loadings and with 2 equiv of either PhSiH3 or Ph2SiH2, representing one of the most active iron-catalyzed carbonyl reductions reported to date.

A Reinvestigation of the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley Reduction: A Highly Efficient Variation Using Zirconium Catalysts

A new variation of the Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reduction based on mechanistic considerations is presented.Under optimized conditions 1-(4-dimethylaminophenyl)ethanol was used as the reducing alcohol (2-4 equiv.), Zr(O-tBu)4 as the catalyst (0.2 equiv.), and toluene or cyclohexane as the solvent.Aldehydes and ketones (if not extremely sterically hindered) were reduced to the corresponding alcohols at room temperature mostly within 2-4 h in essentially quantitative yield. α,β-Unsaturated carbonyl compounds cleanly react in a 1,2-mode to afford the corresponding allylic alcohols. - Key Words: Reductions / Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reaction / Catalysis / Zirconium tetra-tert-butoxide / β-Hydride shift / Kinetics
