- Immobilizing palladium on melamine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles: An efficient and reusable phosphine-free catalyst for Mizoroki–Heck reaction
-
A highly efficient and stable heterogeneous catalyst was successfully prepared by anchoring palladium(0) onto melamine-functionalized Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs-Mel-Pd). With the aid of amine functional groups, melamine was covalently bonded on epoxy functionalized magnetic nanoparticles and then Pd(0) was immobilized on this support with high dispersion. The prepared nanocatalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity for C-C cross coupling (Mizoroki–Heck) of various aryl halides (iodide, bromides, and chrlorides) with olefins under mild reaction condition in relatively short reaction times. The synthesized nanocatalyst was characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. The loading level of Pd in MNPs-Mel-Pd catalyst was measured to be 1.26 × 10?3 mol g?1 by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). In addition, the catalyst can be easily separated and recovered from the reaction mixture by using an external magnet. The heterogeneity of the catalyst was confirmed by the hot filtration test, which was reused for at least six times under the optimized conditions without any significant loss of its activity.

- Bimetallic Ni–Pd Synergism—Mixed Metal Catalysis of the Mizoroki-Heck Reaction and the Suzuki–Miyaura Coupling of Aryl Bromides
-
Abstract: A combination of Pd and Ni complexes activated aryl bromides for the thermal Mizoroki-Heck reaction and Suzuki coupling giving high yields in short reaction times. A thermal redox mechanism probably occurs whereby Ni complex transfers electron and reduces the Pd (II) to Pd (0) which then takes the reactants through the standard protocol of oxidative-addition, migratory insertion and reductive elimination, typical for the Mizoroki-Heck reaction and the Suzuki coupling.

- A One-Pot Synthesis of α,β-Unsaturated Esters From Esters
-
A convenient method for reductive Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons (HWE) olefination is described. The E-selective HWE homologation of various esters to α,β-unsaturated esters was readily achieved and gave the desired products in good-to-moderate yields under mild conditions. The one-pot reaction proceeds through an in situ generated aldehyde, formed via the partial reduction of an ester with lithium diisobutyl-t-butoxyaluminum hydride. The formation of cyclized metal acetal and subsequent decompose to the aldehyde for the olefination was found to be a crucial step in this C2-carbon homologation protocol.

- Synthesis of Enantioenriched 3,4-Disubstituted Chromans through Lewis Base Catalyzed Carbosulfenylation
-
A method for the catalytic, enantioselective, carbosulfenylation of alkenes to construct 3,4-disubstituted chromans is described. Alkene activation proceeds through the intermediacy of enantioenriched, configurationally stable thiiranium ions generated from catalytic, Lewis base activation of an electrophilic sulfenylating agent. The transformation affords difficult-to-generate, enantioenriched, 3,4-disubstituted chromans in moderate to high yields and excellent enantioselectivities. A variety of substituents are compatible including electronically diverse functional groups as well as several functional handles such as aryl halides, esters, anilines, and phenols. The resulting thioether moiety is amenable to a number of functional group manipulations and transformations. Notably, the pendant sulfide was successfully cleaved to furnish a free thiol which readily provides access to most sulfur-containing functional groups which are present in natural products and pharmaceuticals.

- Regio- And diastereoselective Pd-catalyzed aminochlorocyclization of allylic carbamates: scope, derivatization, and mechanism
-
The regio- and diastereoselective synthesis of oxazolidinonesviaa Pd-catalyzed vicinal C-N/C-Cl bond-forming reaction from internal alkenes of allylic carbamates is reported. The oxazolidinones are obtained in yields of 44 to 95% with high to excellent diastereoselectivities (from 6?:?1 to >20?:?1 dr) from readily available precursors. This process is scalable, and the products are suitable for the synthesis of useful amino alcohols. A detailed theoretical and experimental mechanistic study was carried out to describe that the reaction proceeds through ananti-aminopalladation of the alkene followed by an oxidative C-Pd(ii) cleavage with retention of the carbon stereochemistry to yield the major diastereomer. The role of Cu(ii) in a C-Cl bond-forming mechanism step has also been proposed.

- Larvicidal activity and in silico studies of cinnamic acid derivatives against Aedes aegypti (Diptera: Culicidae)
-
Cinnamic acid derivatives (CAD's) represent a great alternative in the search for insecticides against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes since they have antimicrobial and insecticide properties. Ae. aegypti is responsible for transmitting Dengue, Chikungunya, and Zika viruses, among other arboviruses associated with morbimortality, especially in developing countries. In view of this, in vitro analyses of n-substituted cinnamic acids and esters were performed upon 4th instar larvae (L4) of Ae. aegypti, as well as, molecular docking studies to propose a potential biological target towards this mosquitoes species. The larvicide assays proved that n-substituted ethyl cinnamates showed a more pronounced activity than their corresponding acids, in which p-chlorocinnamate (3j) presented a LC50 value of 8.3 μg/mL. Thusly, external morphologic alterations (rigid and elongated body, curved bowel, and translucent or darkened anal papillae) of mosquitoes’ group exposed to compound 3j, were observed by microscopy. In addition, an analytical method was developed for the quantification of the most promising analog by using high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV). Molecular docking studies suggested that the larvicide action is associated with inhibition of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) enzyme. Therefore, expanding the larvicidal study with the cinnamic acid derivatives against the vector Ae. aegypti is important for finding search for more effective larvicides and with lower toxicity, since they have already shown good larvicidal properties against Ae. aegypti.

A highly regioselective synthesis of tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)one derivatives was achieved by reacting cyclopropane aldehydes with N′-aryl anthranil hydrazides in the presence of p-toluene sulfonic acid (PTSA). The transformation involves domino imine formation and intramolecular cyclization to form 2-arylcyclopropyl-2,3-dihydroquinolin-4(1H)-one, followed by nucleophilic ring opening of the cyclopropyl ring to form desired tetrahydropyrrolo[1,2-a]quinazolin-5(1H)one in good to excellent yield with complete regioselectivity. This protocol tolerates a great variety of functional groups and thus provides a simple and step-efficient method for pyrroloquinazolinone synthesis.

- Synthesis of Nitrogen-Containing Goniothalamin Analogues with Higher Cytotoxic Activity and Selectivity against Cancer Cells
-
Two series of racemic goniothalamin analogues displaying nitrogen-containing groups were designed and synthesized. A total of 19 novel analogues were evaluated against a panel of four different cancer cell lines, along with the normal prostate cell line PNT2 to determine their selectivity. Among them, goniothalamin chloroacrylamide 13 e displayed the lowest IC50 values for both MCF-7 (0.5 μm) and PC3 (0.3 μm) cells, about 26-fold more potent than goniothalamin (1). Besides its higher potency, compound 13 e also displayed much higher selectivity than goniothalamin. In contrast, goniothalamin isobutyramide 13 c was the most potent analogue against Caco-2 cells (IC50=0.8 μm), about 10-fold more potent and 17-fold more selective than 1. These results reveal the potential of compounds 13 c and 13 e for further in vivo studies, representing the first goniothalamin analogues with IC50 values in the low micromolar range and high selectivity against MCF-7, Caco-2, and PC3 cancer cell lines.

All synthesized compounds were evaluated for anticancer activity and some demonstrated dose dependent reduction in HeLa cell growth. Of these 7, 10 and 14 significantly reduced the cell growth. Consequently their calculated GI50values were found to be 0.1 or 0.1?μM.

- Palladium immobilized on Fe3O4/ZnO nanoparticles: A novel magnetically recyclable catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura and heck reactions under ligand-free conditions
-
Magnetically separable Pd(0)/Fe3O4/ZnO catalyst was easily synthesized by immobilizing Pd on the surface of magnetic Fe3O4-ZnO nanoparticles. The nano-Pd/Fe3O4/ZnO was found as a magnetically separable and highly active catalyst for Suzuki-Miyaura as well as Heck cross-coupling reactions under ligand-free conditions. Under appropriate conditions, all reactions afforded the desired products in moderate to excellent yields. Moreover, this catalyst can be easily recovered using simple magnet and directly reused without significant loss of its activity.

- BF3·OEt2-mediated: Syn -selective Meyer-Schuster rearrangement of phenoxy propargyl alcohols for Z -β-aryl-α,β-unsaturated esters
-
Synthesis of Z-β-aryl-α,β-unsaturated esters from readily available 1-aryl-3-phenoxy propargyl alcohols is achieved via a BF3-mediated syn-selective Meyer-Schuster rearrangement under ambient conditions. The reaction mechanism is postulated to involve an electrophilic borylation of an allene intermediate as the key step to kinetically control the stereoselectivity.

- Borane-Catalyzed Reductive α-Silylation of Conjugated Esters and Amides Leaving Carbonyl Groups Intact
-
Described herein is the development of the B(C6F5)3-catalyzed hydrosilylation of α,β-unsaturated esters and amides to afford synthetically valuable α-silyl carbonyl products. The α-silylation occurs chemoselectively, thus leaving the labile carbonyl groups intact. The reaction features a broad scope of both acyclic and cyclic substrates, and the synthetic utility of the obtained α-silyl carbonyl products is also demonstrated. Mechanistic studies revealed two operative steps: fast 1,4-hydrosilylation of conjugated carbonyls and then slow silyl group migration of a silyl ether intermediate.

- Ligand-Free Heck Reactions of Aryl Iodides: Significant Acceleration of the Rate through Visible Light Irradiation at Ambient Temperature
-
A mild Heck reaction of aryl iodides and olefins was realized by the cooperation of a palladium and a photoredox catalyst under the irradiation of visible light. This protocol works well to synthesize stilbenes with high Z/E ratios and (E)-cinnamates in the absence of ligands at ambient temperature. Control experiments revealed that palladium salt, visible light and photoredox catalyst were all crucial for the achievement of this cross-coupling under mild conditions. (Figure presented.).

- A simple, phosphine free, reusable Pd(ii)-2,2′-dihydroxybenzophenone-SBA-15 catalyst for arylation and hydrogenation reactions of alkenes
-
An efficient, simple, phosphine and co-catalyst free C-C coupling reaction heterogeneous catalyst via a post grafting method is developed and reported. A covalently anchored phosphine free Pd(ii) based 2,2′-dihydroxybenzophenone (DHBP) complex over organofunctionalized SBA-15 has been synthesized by the reaction between aminofunctionalized SBA-15 (NH2SBA-15) and a 2,2′-dihydroxybenzophenone (DHBP) ligand, and further complexation with Pd(ii)Cl2 to get Pd(ii)-DHBP@SBA-15. The synthesized catalysts were characterized by elemental analysis, XRD, N2 sorption analyses, TG, DTA, FT-IR, solid state 13C and 29Si NMR spectra, XPS, UV-Visible, SEM, EDAX and TEM. The synthesized catalysts were screened in arylation (Heck reactions) and hydrogenation reactions of alkenes, and the results show that Pd(ii)-DHBP@SBA-15 exhibits high conversion and selectivity towards arylation and hydrogenation reactions of alkenes with high stability. The anchored solid catalysts can be recycled effectively and reused several times without major loss in activity.

- Ketenimines from Isocyanides and Allyl Carbonates: Palladium-Catalyzed Synthesis of β,γ-Unsaturated Amides and Tetrazoles
-
The reaction of allyl ethyl carbonates with isocyanides in the presence of a catalytic amount of Pd(OAc)2provided ketenimines through β-hydride elimination of the allyl imidoylpalladium intermediates. The insertion of the isocyanide into the π-allyl Pd complex proceeded via an unusual η1-allyl Pd species. The resulting ketenimines were hydrolyzed to β,γ-unsaturated carboxamides during purification by flash column chromatography on silica gel or converted in situ into 1,5-disubstituted tetrazoles by [3+2] cycloaddition with hydrazoic acid or trimethylsilyl azide.

- Development of unimolecular tetrakis(piperidin-4-ol) as a ligand for Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions: Synthesis of incrustoporin and preclamol
-
Abstract A domino aza-Cope/aza-Prins cascade enabled the synthesis of a new class of 4-hydroxypiperidine-appended mono, bis, tris, and tetrakis unimolecular compounds that served as efficient ligands to catalyze Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions under aerobic conditions. Various biaryls, terphenyls, and heterocyclic biphenyls were obtained in good to excellent yields. The ligands were also capable of catalyzing the Heck-Mizoroki reaction. As an application, the Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction was used in the synthesis of incrustoporin, its analogs, and the drug molecule preclamol. A domino aza-Cope/aza-Prins cascade enabled the synthesis of a new class of 4-hydroxypiperidine-appended mono-, bis-, tris-, and tetrakis-unimolecular compounds that served as efficient ligands to catalyze Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions under aerobic conditions. Various biaryls, terphenyls, and heterocyclic biphenyls were obtained in good to excellent yields.

- Integrated Process of Aerobic Oxidation-Olefination-Asymmetric C-C Bond Formation Catalyzed by Robust Heterogeneous Gold/Palladium and Chirally Modified Rhodium Nanoparticles
-
We have achieved an integrated process of oxidation-olefination-asymmetric 1,4-addition reactions under aerobic and aqueous conditions using metal nanoparticles as robust heterogeneous catalysts. A tandem process of aerobic oxidation and Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons olefination was successfully catalyzed by gold/palladium bimetallic nanoparticles. A wide range of substrates gave the desired products in high yields and excellent selectivities. This tandem process was further connected with an asymmetric 1,4-addition reaction catalyzed by chiral rhodium nanoparticles to achieve a challenging three-step, one-pot sequential reaction. Various types of esters with a chiral center at the β-position were obtained from readily available and stable alcohols and arylboronic acids in high yields with high enantioselectivities in a one-pot sequential reaction integrating three transformations.

- Copper-catalyzed oxidative olefination of thiols using sulfones and phosphorous ylides
-
Copper-catalyzed one-pot conversion of thiols to olefins was conducted under aerobic conditions. Thiols were oxidized to generate thioaldehydes, which reacted with sulfones or phosphorous ylides to form the corresponding olefins. The formation of thiosulfonates and phosphorous sulfides confirms that these olefination protocols proceed via thioaldehyde-sulfone and thioaldehyde-ylide adducts.

- Polyethyleneimine-Supported Triphenylphosphine and Its Use as a Highly Loaded Bifunctional Polymeric Reagent in Chromatography-Free One-Pot Wittig Reactions
-
A polyethyleneimine-supported triphenylphosphine reagent has been synthesized and used as a highly loaded bifunctional homogeneous reagent in a range of one-pot Wittig reactions that afforded high yields of the desired products after simple purification procedures. The approach also served efficiently in tandem reaction sequences involving a one-pot Wittig reaction followed by conjugate reduction of the newly formed alkene product in situ. In these transformations, the phosphine oxide groups generated in the Wittig reaction served as the catalyst for activating trichlorosilane in the subsequent reduction reaction.

- Ethyl cinnamate derivatives as promising high-efficient acaricides against Psoroptes cuniculi: Synthesis, bioactivity and structure-activity relationship
-
This paper reported the synthesis, structure-activity relationship (SAR) and acaricidal activity in vitro against Psoroptes cuniculi, a mange mite, of 25 ethyl cinnamate derivatives. All target compounds were synthesized and elucidated by means of MS, 1H- and 13C-NMR analysis. The results showed that 24 out of 25 tested compounds at 1.0 mg/mL demonstrated acaricidal activity in varying degrees. Among them, 6, 15, 26, 27 and 30 showed significant activity with median lethal concentration values (LC50) of 89.3, 119.0, 39.2, 29.8 and 41.2 μg/mL, respectively, which were 2.1- to 8.3-fold the activity of ivermectin (LC50=247.4 μg/mL), a standard drug in the treatment of Psoroptes cuniculi. Compared with ivermectin, with a median lethal time value (LT50) of 8.9 h, 27 and 30 showed smaller LTM50 values of 7.9 and 1.3 h, respectively, whereas 6, 15 and 26 showed slightly larger LT50 values of 10.6, 11.0 and 10.4 h at 4.5 μmol/mL. SARs showed that the presence of o-NO2 or m-NO2 on the benzene ring significantly improved the activity, whereas the introduction of a hydroxy, methoxy, acetoxy, methylenedioxy, bromo or chloro group reduced the activity. (E)-Cinnamates were more effective than their (Z)-isomer. Nevertheless, the carbon-carbon double bond in the acrylic ester moiety was proven not to be essential to improve the activity of cinnamic acid esters. Thus, the results strongly indicate that cinnamate derivatives, especially their dihydro derivatives, should be promising candidates or lead compounds for the development of novel acaricides for the effective control of animal or human acariasis.

Tetrabutylammonium aryltriolborates have been synthesized in 37-66% yield by a one-pot procedure from arylboronic acids, 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)ethane, and aqueous tetrabutylammonium hydroxide. The aryltriolborates can be used as bases in Wittig reactions of aromatic aldehydes with all three types of phosphorus ylides: stabilized and semistabilized ylides can be generated at room temperature, and nonstabilized ylides at 120 °C (bath temperature).

Abstract We present an allylic polyfluoroarylation reaction with broad substrate scope and excellent functional group tolerance, using organozinc reagents under mild conditions. A catalytic amount of triphenylphosphine oxide efficiently promotes iodine-zinc exchange reaction between polyfluoroaryl iodide and dimethylzinc, and the resulting phosphine oxide-activated polyfluoroarylzinc undergoes substitution reaction with allylic halides to afford the corresponding polyfluoroarylated products.

- Iron(IV)-Corrole Catalyzed Stereoselective Olefination of Aldehydes with Ethyl Diazoacetate
-
Iron(IV)-corrole complexes were first investigated as catalysts for olefination of aldehydes with ethyl diazoacetate in the presence of triphenylphosphine. Efficient olefination of aromatic aldehydes with high trans-selectivity was observed, showing iron corrole is a new kind of promising catalyst for olefination reaction. Transformation of the phosphazine to ylide by iron(IV) corrole was proved to be the key step in the present system.

A hemin/graphene composite, prepared by mixing an aqueous solution of graphene oxide (GO) with hemin and sonicating the suspension for 5 h at room temperature, was investigated for olefination of aldehydes using ethyl diazoacetate in the presence of triphenylphosphine. Efficient olefination of aromatic aldehydes with high (E)-selectivity was obtained, revealing that rGO/hemin is a promising heterogeneous catalyst for the olefination reaction. The as-synthesized catalyst could easily be recovered from the reaction mixture and was subsequently used for several runs without any significantly loss in activity and selectivity.

- Quantitative Structure-Property Relationship (QSPR) models for a local quantum descriptor: Investigation of the 4- and 3-substituted-cinnamic acid esterification
-
In this work, the theoretical description of the 4- and 3-substituted-cinnamic acid esterification with different electron donating and electron withdrawing groups was performed at the B3LYP and M06-2X levels, as a two-step process: the O-protonation and the nucleophile attack by ethanol. In parallel, an experimental work devoted to the synthesis and characterization of the substituted-cinnamate esters has also been performed. In order to quantify the substituents effects, quantitative structure-property relationship (QSPR) models based on the atomic charges, Fukui functions and the Frontier Effective-for-Reaction Molecular Orbitals (FERMO) energies were investigated. In fact, the Fukui functions, f+C and f-O, indicated poor correlations for each individual step, and in contrast with the general literature, the O-protonation step is affected both by the FERMO energies and the O-charges of the carbonyl group. Since the process was shown to not be totally described by either charge- or frontier-orbitals, it is proposed to be frontier-charge-miscere controlled. Moreover, the observed trend for the experimental reaction yields suggests that the electron withdrawing groups favor the reaction and the same was observed for Step 2, which can thus be pointed out as the determining step.
