- Light-Modulated Self-Blockage of a Urea Binding Site in a Stiff-Stilbene Based Anion Receptor
-
Anion binding to a receptor based on stiff-stilbene, which is equipped with a urea hydrogen bond donating group and a phosphate or phosphinate hydrogen bond accepting group, can be controlled by light. In one photoaddressable state (E isomer) the urea binding site is available for binding, while in the other (Z isomer) it is blocked because of an intramolecular interaction with its hydrogen bond accepting motif. This intramolecular interaction is supported by DFT calculations and 1H NMR titrations reveal a significantly lower anion binding strength for the state in which anion binding is blocked. Furthermore, the molecular switching process has been studied in detail by UV/Vis and NMR spectroscopy. The presented approach opens up new opportunities toward the development of photoresponsive anion receptors.

- Synthesis and antitumor activity of aza-brazilan derivatives containing imidazolium salt pharmacophores
-
The synthesis of a series of novel aza-brazilan derivatives containing imidazolium salt pharmacophores is presented. The biological activity of such imidazolium salts was further evaluated in vitro against a panel of human tumor cell lines. The results suggest that the electron-withdrawing group on the aza-brazilan moiety, substituted 5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazole ring and substitution of the imidazolyl-3-position with a 4-methylbenzyl group were essential for modulating the cytotoxic activity. Compounds 55 and 39, bearing a 4-methylbenzyl substituent at position-3 of 5,6-dimethyl-benzimidazole, were found to be the most potent compounds with IC50 values of 0.52-1.30 μM and 0.56-1.51 μM against four human tumor cell lines investigated. Particularly, compound 57 exhibited inhibitory activity against the MCF-7 cell line with an IC50 value of 0.35 μM and was 56-fold more sensitive than DDP. Moreover, compound 55 inhibited cell proliferation through inducing G0/G1 cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in SMMC-7721 cells.

- Recyclable Hypervalent-Iodine-Mediated Dehydrogenative α,β′-Bifunctionalization of β-Keto Esters under Metal-Free Conditions
-
We have developed a method for recyclable hypervalent-iodine-mediated direct dehydrogenative α,β′- bifunctionalization of β-ketoesters and β-diketones under metal-free conditions, which affords a straightforward way to synthesize benzo-fused 2,3-dihydrofurans. This efficient, mild method, which has a wide substrate scope and good functional-group tolerance, was used for the multistep synthesis of the protected aglycone of a naturally occurring phenolic glycoside. A mechanism involving Michael addition to an enone intermediate and subsequent oxidative cyclization is proposed.

- Synthesis of 1,3-diketones from 3-(4-R-phenyl)propionic acids
-
Self-acylation of 3-(4-R-phenyl)propionic acids (R = H, Br, 1-adamantyl) in trifluoroacetic anhydride catalyzed by trifluoromethanesulfonic acid provides a simple and efficient synthesis of 1,3-diketones. Indan-1-ones formed in the first step undergo acylation to give the corresponding 2-(3-phenyl-1-oxopropyl) indan-1-ones as the major products. One-pot synthesis of polysubstituted pyrazoles directly from 3-(4-R-phenyl)propionic acids is described.

-
A very simple and convenient reaction for 1,3-diketone preparation from carboxylic acids and aromatic ketones in TFAA/TfOH system is described. When the β-phenylpropionic acids were used as starting materials, they initially gave 1-indanones and then underwent further acylation with the formation of 2-(β-phenylpropionyl)-1-indanones as the main reaction products. In addition, the application of the proposed protocol allowed for the synthesis of selected polysubstituted pyrazoles in a one-pot procedure directly from acids and ketones.

- Catalytic asymmetric cross-dehydrogenative coupling: Activation of C-H bonds by a cooperative bimetallic catalyst system
-
A cooperative bimetallic catalyst system was applied in the catalytic asymmetric cross-dehydrogenative coupling of β-ketoesters and xanthene. Various optically active xanthene derivatives bearing a quaternary stereogenic carbon center were obtained in moderate to good yields (up to 90%) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99% ee). Meanwhile, a transition-state model was proposed to explain the origin of the asymmetric induction.

- Friedel-crafts acylation with amides
-
Friedel-Crafts acylation has been known since the 1870s, and it is an important organic synthetic reaction leading to aromatic ketone products. Friedel-Crafts acylation is usually performed with carboxylic acid chlorides or anhydrides, while amides are generally not useful substrates in these reactions. Despite being the least reactive carboxylic acid derivative, we have found a series of amides capable of providing aromatic ketones in good yields (55-96%, 17 examples). We propose a mechanism involving diminished C-N resonance through superelectrophilic activation and subsequent cleavage to acyl cations.

- Efficient synthesis of halo indanones via chlorosulfonic acid mediated Friedel-Crafts cyclization of aryl propionic acids and their use in alkylation reactions
-
Several halo indanones were synthesized from benzyl Meldrum's acid derivatives in two steps. Although several Lewis acids are effective for the Friedel-Crafts ring-closing reaction on more electron-rich arenes, in the case of the electron-deficient arenes this chemistry is not efficient. Here it is reported that chlorosulfonic acid (used as solvent) is an efficient reagent for cyclization of electron-withdrawing arenes. These molecules are potentially useful for subsequent alkylation reactions. The selective alkylation of 5,7-dibromo indanone is demonstrated using Pd-catalyzed Grignard coupling to provide monoalkylated indanone in good yield.

- Stereochemical and mechanistic aspects of dioxygenase-catalysed benzylic hydroxylation of indene and chromane substrates
-
Toluene dioxygenase (TDO)-catalysed benzylic hydroxylation of indene substrates (8, 16 and 17), using whole cell cultures of Pseudomonas putida UV4, was found to yield inden-1-ol (14 and 223) and indan-1-one bioproducts (15 and 23). The formation of these bioproducts is consistent with the involvement of carbon-centred radical intermediates. TDO-catalysed oxidation of indenes 8 and 16 also gave cis-diols 13 and 18 respectively. TDO and naphthalene dioxygenase (NDO), used as both whole-cell preparation and as purified enzymes, were found to catalyse the benzylic hydroxylation of chromane 30, deuteriated (±)-chromane 30D and enantiomers (4S)-30D and (4R)-30D to yield (4R)- and (4S)-chroman-4-ols 31/31D respectively. The mechanism of benzylic hydroxylation of chromane 30/30D involves the stereoselective abstraction of a pro-R (with TDO) or a pro-S (with NDO) hydrogen atom at C-4 and a marked preference for retention of configuration.

The bromination of 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene, and bi- and tricyclic fused ring systems (i.e. indan, tetralin, benzosuberan, 2a,3,4,5-tetrahydroacenaphthen and higher homologues) is described in this paper.This work is part of a research project studying the ring size influence of peri-fused semi-aromatic ring system on benzene reactivity.This study was started in a first step on acetylation and was continued on bromination.Forthcoming studies (now underway) concern the kinetic measurement of protodesilylation of univocal silyl derivatives.The synthesis of the starting bromo derivatives used for this latter study is described here.These bromides were used for the attribution via NMR spectroscopy of the electrophile reaction site in the direct bromination of the fused ring unsymmetrical systems (the reactive sites are obvious in symmetrical molecules). Thus, meta substitution is predominant in the case of tetraline and benzosuberan, but ortho substitution is relatively more important in tetralin.In 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene and the fused tricyclic compounds, substitution takes place in an ortho position respective to the substituent or the ring system, the meta position being totally deactivated.In the special case of a five-membered ring, the ortho position this ring is always non reactive.The reactivity differences between these compounds are explained by hyper conjugation and the stabilities of the transition states.
