Off the different types cancers 40% of the population have been observed to be affected by leukemia. Contemporary therapeutics is focusing on generation of new synthetic analogues that can exert maximum positive physiological effect with minimum dosage and negligible deleterious side effects. New generation pharmacists are focusing on such promising effects of Imatinib (a potential anti-cancer drug molecule), Dasatinib, Pelitinib and Nilotinib. The present research study focuses on novel synthesized anilides derivative against BCR-ABL kinase as potential anti-leukemic agent. Validation of the compounds by molecular docking with specific BCR-ABL kinase confirmed their activity. Toxicity prediction of these compounds helped to identify sustainability as therapeutic molecules. The IC50 values were calculated (211 ug, 175 ug, 272ug for compounds A, B, C resp.) and the mode of cell death was gauged by DNA laddering assay. The cells were observed to be induced for programmed cell death. By validating and in-vivo testing of three synthesized compounds, the compound B was observed to be more stable thermodynamically with a potentially vital active site and appears to be a promising anti-leukemic factor. The present research thus lays a preliminary platform in world of pharmaceutics, where these new analogues appear to be efficient, target specific and less toxic molecules.

Energy transfer plays a special role in photocatalysis by utilizing the potential energy of the excited state through indirect excitation, in which a photosensitizer determines the thermodynamic feasibility of the reaction. Bioinspired by the energy-transfer ability of natural product cercosporin, here we developed a green and highly efficient organic photosensitizer HiBRCP (hexaisobutyryl reduced cercosporin) through structural modification of cercosporin. After structural manipulation, its triplet energy was greatly improved, and then, it could markedly promote the efficient geometrical isomerization of alkenes from the E-isomer to the Z-isomer. Moreover, it was also effective for energy-transfer-mediated organometallic catalysis, which allowed realization of the cross-coupling of aryl bromides and carboxylic acids through efficient energy transfer from HiBRCP to nickel complexes. Thus, the study on the relationship between structural manipulation and their photophysical properties provided guidance for further modification of cercosporin, which could be applied to more meaningful and challenging energy-transfer reactions.

The amide C-N cleavage has drawn a broad interest in synthetic chemistry, biological process and pharmaceutical industry. Transition-metal, luxury ligand or excess base were always vital to the transformation. Here, we developed a transition-metal-free hydrogen-bond-assisted esterification of amides with only catalytic amount of base. The proposed crucial role of hydrogen bonding for assisting esterification was supported by control experiments, density functional theory (DFT) calculations and kinetic studies. Besides broad substrate scopes and excellent functional groups tolerance, this base-catalyzed protocol complements the conventional transition-metal-catalyzed esterification of amides and provides a new pathway to catalytic cleavage of amide C-N bonds for organic synthesis and pharmaceutical industry.

A simple and direct aerobic oxidative esterification reaction of arylacetonitriles with alcohols/phenols is achieved in the presence of a copper salt and molecular oxygen, which produces a broad range of aryl carboxylic acid esters in good to high yields. Copper salt plays multiple roles in the transformation, which allows the oxygenation of C-H bond, cleavage of inert C-C bond, and formation of C-O bond in one pot without the assistance of any of the acids, bases, ligands, and so on. The reaction provides a simple, direct, and efficient protocol towards functionalized esters, especially aryl benzoates, from readily available starting materials.

The increasing pharmaceutical importance of trifluoromethylarenes has stimulated the development of more efficient trifluoromethylation reactions. Tremendous efforts have focused on copper- and palladium-mediated/catalyzed trifluoromethylation of aryl halides. In contrast, no general method exists for the conversion of widely available inert electrophiles, such as phenol derivatives, into the corresponding trifluoromethylated arenes. Reported herein is a practical nickel-mediated trifluoromethylation of phenol derivatives with readily available trimethyl(trifluoromethyl)silane (TMSCF3). The strategy relies on PMe3-promoted oxidative addition and transmetalation, and CCl3CN-induced reductive elimination. The broad utility of this transformation has been demonstrated through the direct incorporation of trifluoromethyl into aromatic and heteroaromatic systems, including biorelevant compounds.

A novel strategy for visible light-mediated esterification of amides with boronic acids in air has been described. This method is characterized by mild reaction conditions and low cost owing to no need of any catalyst, which implies high potential utility in late-stage functionalization of amide drugs and materials.

Highly active, efficient and robust “dppf ligated tetranuclear palladium dithiolate complex” was synthesized and applied as a catalyst for chemical fixation of carbon monoxide for the synthesis value added chemicals such as tertiary amide and aromatic esters. The synthesized catalyst was characterized using different analytical techniques such as elemental analysis, 1H and 31P NMR spectroscopy. The use of Co2(CO)8 as a cheap, less toxic and low melting solid surrogate are additional advantages over the current protocol. The catalyst showed superior activity towards the Amino (10?3 mol % catalyst) and Phenoxycarbonylation (10-2 mol % catalyst) and high TON (104 to 103) and TOF (103 to 102 h-1). The Betol and Lintrin (active drug molecules) were synthesized under an optimized reaction condition. The scalability of the current protocol has been demonstrated up-to the gram level.

A zirconium catalyzed reductive cleavage of Csp3 and Csp2 carbon-heteroatom bonds is reported that makes use of a tethered alkene functionality as a traceless directing group. The reaction is successfully demonstrated on C-O, C-N, and C-S bonds and proposed to proceed via a hydrozirconation/β-heteroatom elimination sequence of an in situ formed zirconium hydride catalyst. The positional isomerization of the catalyst further enables the cleavage of homoallylic ethers and the removal of terminal allyl and propargyl groups.

The first fluoride and palladium co-catalyzed conversion of amide to ester through an aerobic oxidative coupling pathway is reported. This new approach presents a practical process that employs easily available oxygen and commercially available arylboronic acids as coupling partners, uses a wide range of N- tosylamides, and proceeds under mild reaction conditions. This protocol demonstrates broad functional group tolerance, and provides an alternative option to synthesize esters from N-tosylamides which obtained by simply N-functionalization of secondary amides.

A facile, efficient and environmentally friendly methodology for the preparation of phenolic esters is realized via metal-free coupling of carboxylic acids and arylboronic acids. This sequential one pot reaction, employing methyl propiolate as an activating reagent, proceeds through the formation of enol ester intermediate, followed by a nucleophilic attack on the C-O bond under the oxidation of hydrogen peroxide. These studies display that enol esters, despite previously being overlooked as synthetic intermediates, would be the valuable building blocks for developing carbon–carbon and carbon–heteroatom bond-forming reactions.
