Hydroxamic acids are metal-chelating compounds that show important biological activity including anti-tumor effects. We have recently engineered the transketolase from Geobacillus stearothermopilus (TKgst) to convert benzaldehyde as a non-natur

A silver-mediated annulation between arylcarbamic acids and nitrosoarenes was developed, leading to phenazines in moderate to good yields with complexity and diversity. This procedure proceeded with the sequential ortho[sbnd] C[sbnd]H functionalization of arylcarbamic acids, insertion to nitroso group and decarboxylative annulation.

Many (poly-)phenolic natural products, for example, curcumin and taxifolin, have been studied for their activity against specific hallmarks of neurodegeneration, such as amyloid-β 42 (Aβ42) aggregation and neuroinflammation. Due to their drawbacks, arising from poor pharmacokinetics, rapid metabolism, and even instability in aqueous medium, the biological activity of azobenzene compounds carrying a pharmacophoric catechol group, which have been designed as bioisoteres of curcumin has been examined. Molecular simulations reveal the ability of these compounds to form a hydrophobic cluster with Aβ42, which adopts different folds, affecting the propensity to populate fibril-like conformations. Furthermore, the curcumin bioisosteres exceeded the parent compound in activity against Aβ42 aggregation inhibition, glutamate-induced intracellular oxidative stress in HT22 cells, and neuroinflammation in microglial BV-2 cells. The most active compound prevented apoptosis of HT22 cells at a concentration of 2.5 μm (83 % cell survival), whereas curcumin only showed very low protection at 10 μm (21 % cell survival).

The employment of α-iminometallocarbenes to construct valuable N-containing compounds has attracted significant research interest. Herein, the nucleophilic addition of nitrosoarenes with the α-imino rhodium carbene species (I), which is derived from Rh2(II)-catalyzed denitrogenation of 3-diazoindolin-2-imines, to produce synthetically useful 2-iminoindolin-nitrones is described. Mechanistically, the N-attack of nitrosoarenes with the carbene site of I is proposed. For the analogous Rh2(II)-catalyzed reaction of nitrosoarenes with N-sulfonyl-1,2,3-triazoles reported by Li and co-workers (Org. Lett. 2014, 16, 6394), however, the O-attack of nitrosoarenes with the carbene site of α-imino rhodium carbene species (II) is more favorable to occur than the N-attack. The subsequent transformation to yield the product of N-acylamidines is rationalized based on computational studies. The mechanistic differences for the reactions of nitrosoarenes with α-imino rhodium carbene species I and II are discussed.

A rhodium-catalyzed annulative reaction between azobenzenes and nitrosoarenes has been developed, leading to a series of phenazines in moderate to good yields. This procedure proceeds with sequential chelation-assisted addition of aryl C-H to nitrosoarenes and ring closure by electrophilic attack of azo group to aryl. During this transformation, the azo group served as not only a traceless directing group but also a building block in the final products.
Enantioselective Oxidative Coupling of β-Ketocarbonyls and Anilines by Joint Chiral Primary Amine and Selenium Catalysis

An enantioselective primary amine-catalyzed total N-selective nitroso aldol reaction (N-NA) was achieved through the oxidation of primary aromatic amines to the corresponding nitrosoarenes catalyzed by selenium reagents and 30% H2O2. This protocol provides a facile and highly efficient access to α-hydroxyamino carbonyls bearing chiral quaternary centers under exceedingly mild and green reaction conditions with high chemo-and enantiocontrol.

We report a detailed structure–activity relationship for the scaffold of VUF16216, a compound we have previously communicated as a small-molecule efficacy photoswitch for the peptidergic chemokine GPCR CXCR3. A series of photoswitchable azobenzene ligands was prepared through various synthetic strategies and multistep syntheses. Photochemical and pharmacological properties were used to guide the design iterations. Investigations of positional and substituent effects reveal that halogen substituents on the ortho-position of the outer ring are preferred for conferring partial agonism on the cis form of the ligands. This effect could be expanded by an electron-donating group on the para-position of the central ring. A variety of efficacy differences between the trans and cis forms emerges from these compounds. Tool compounds VUF15888 (4d) and VUF16620 (6e) represent more subtle efficacy switches, while VUF16216 (6f) displays the largest efficacy switch, from antagonism to full agonism. The compound class disclosed here can aid in new photopharmacology studies of CXCR3 signaling.

An efficient and transition-metal-free protocol for the synthesis of (Z)- N -arylnitrones from the direct coupling of N -nosylhydrazones with nitrosoarenes under mild conditions is described. The protocol is compatible with a wide range of functional groups placed on both the reagents and provided the corresponding nitrones in good to excellent yields by simple recrystallization process. The use of these 1,3-dipoles for the synthesis of substituted indoles is elaborated for 2,3-diphenyl-1 H -indole.

Hydrogen bond assisted ortho-selective C(sp2)-H amination of nitrosoarenes and subsequent α-C(sp3)-H functionalization of aliphatic amines is achieved under metal-free conditions. The annulation of nitrosoarenes and 2-hydroxy-C-nitroso compounds with N-heterocycles provides a facile excess to a wide range of biologically relevant ring-fused benzimidazoles and structurally novel polycyclic imidazoles, respectively. Nucleophilic aromatic hydrogen substitution (SNArH) was found to be preferred over classical SNAr reaction during the C(sp2)-H amination of halogenated nitrosoarenes.
Rh(III)-Catalyzed bilateral cyclization of aldehydes with nitrosos toward unsymmetrical acridines proceeding with C-H functionalization enabled by a transient directing group

A Rh(iii)-catalyzed bilateral cyclization was developed for the efficient construction of acridines proceeding with C-H functionalization whereby in situ formation and removal of an imino transient directing group in the presence of catalytic amount of BnNH2 are achieved. In this transformation, a sequential Rh(iii)-catalyzed C-H amination, cyclization, and aromatization process was involved.
