- Palladium-Catalyzed Denitrogenative Synthesis of Aryl Ketones from Arylhydrazines and Nitriles Using O2 as Sole Oxidant
-
An efficient and simple palladium-catalyzed approach for the synthesis of aryl ketones from low-cost nitriles and arylhydrazines using molecular oxygen (O2) as sole oxidant via C-N bond cleavage is reported. Various aryl ketones were synthesized in moderate to good yields under mild conditions. A possible mechanism involving the PdII/Pd0 catalytic cycle process is depicted, and a cationic palladium intermediate was detected by ESI-MS.

- Identification and optimization of biphenyl derivatives as novel tubulin inhibitors targeting colchicine-binding site overcoming multidrug resistance
-
Microtubule targeting agents (MTAs) are among the most successful chemotherapeutic drugs, but their efficacy is often limited by the development of multidrug resistance (MDR). Therefore, the development of novel MTAs with the ability to overcome MDR is urgently needed. In this contribution, through modification of the unsymmetric biaryl compounds, we discovered a novel compound dxy-1-175 with potent anti-proliferative activity against cancer cells. Mechanistic study revealed that dxy-1-175 inhibited tubulin polymerization by interacting with the colchicine-binding site of tubulin, which caused cell cycle arrest at G2/M phase. Based on the predicted binding model of dxy-1-175 with tubulin, a series of new 4-benzoylbiphenyl analogues were designed and synthesized. Among them, the hydrochloride compound 12e with improved solubility and good stability in human liver microsome, exhibited the most potent anti-proliferative activity with IC50 value in the low nanomolar range, and markedly inhibited the growth of breast cancer 4T1 xenograft in vivo. Notably, 12e effectively overcame P-gp-mediated MDR and our preliminary data suggested that 12e may not be a substrate of P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Taken together, our study reveals a novel MTA 12e targeting the colchicine-binding site with potent anticancer activity and the ability to circumvent MDR.

- Palladium-catalyzed chemoselective cross-coupling of acyl chlorides and organostannanes
-
Chemoselective cross-coupling of aliphatic and aromatic acyl chlorides with aryl-, heteroaryl-, and alkynylstannanes proceeds in up to 98% yield using 2.5 mol % of bis(di-tert-butylchlorophosphine)palladium(II) dichloride as the precatalyst. Various functional groups including aryl chlorides and bromides that usually undergo oxidative addition to palladium complexes bearing phosphinous acid or dialkylchlorophosphine ligands are tolerated. This procedure allows convenient ketone formation and eliminates inherent limitations of Friedel-Crafts acylations such as substituent-directing effects and typical reactivity requirements of Lewis acid-catalyzed electrophilic aromatic substitutions.

- Solvent-free rapid deprotection of ketone and aldehyde oximes using periodic acid
-
Ketone and aldehyde oximes can be readily converted to the corresponding carbonyl compounds in high yields under solvent-free conditions when treated with periodic acid. Oximes bearing aliphatic C=C bonds can be selectively deoximated. The advantages of this protocol include a rapid reaction rate and a simple workup procedure. No volatile organic solvents are required in the reaction processes. Copyright Taylor & Francis, Inc.

- Infrared and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Properties of Benzoyl Derivatives of Five-membered Monoheterocycles and Determination of Aromaticity Indices
-
Benzophenones, 2-benzoylthiophenes, 2-benzoylpyrroles, and 2-benzoylfurans, which have substituents at m- and p-positions of the benzoyl ring were prepared and their ir and nmr spectra were obtained in 0.1 M chloroform-d solution. The chemical shift values of each series were plotted against the Hammett substituent parameters to give good correlation, with the exception of the ortho-Hs and -Cs. The slopes as well as the differences in chemical shift gave sets of meaningful values for the indices of aromaticy.
