- Improved schmidt conversion of aldehydes to nitriles using azidotrimethylsilane in 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-Propanol
-
The Schmidt reaction of aromatic aldehydes using a substoichiometric amount (40 mol %) of triflic acid is described. Low catalyst loading was enabled by a strong hydrogen-bond-donating solvent hexafluoro-2-propanol (HFIP). This improved protocol tolerates a broad scope of aldehydes with diverse functional groups and the corresponding nitriles were obtained in good to high yields without the need for aqueous work up.

- A mild and efficient palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl chlorides with K4[Fe(CN)6]
-
An efficient palladium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl chlorides is established. In the presence of a highly effective Pd/CM-phos catalyst, cyanation of aryl chlorides proceeds at 70 °C in general, which is the mildest reaction temperature achieved so far for this process. Common functional groups such as keto, aldehyde, ester, nitrile and-NH2, and heterocyclic coupling partners including N-H indoles are well tolerated. Moreover, a sterically hindered nonactivated ortho,ortho-disubstituted electrophile is shown to be a feasible coupling partner in cyanation.

- A general rhodium-catalyzed cyanation of aryl and alkenyl boronic acids
-
Give me a cyanide: N-cyano-N-phenyl-p-methylbenzenesulfonamide as a cyanation reagent allows the synthesis of aryl(alkenyl) nitriles in good yield under mild conditions (see scheme; cod=cycloocta-1,5-diene). Combination of the procedure with the direct borylation of arenes and hydroboration of alkynes leads to the straightforward synthesis of various nitriles.

- Design and synthesis of low molecular weight compounds with complement inhibition activity
-
An attempt was made to synthesize a series of non-cytotoxic low molecular weight compounds of varying substitutions and functionalities having pharmacophore activity like carbonyl compounds, carboxylic acid and bioisosteres like tetrazole and phenyl acrylic acid. The in vitro assay of these analogues for the inhibition of complement activity revealed significant inhibitory activity for varying substituents and, particularly, for bioisosteres, that is, tetrazole and phenyl acrylic acid derivatives.

- Synthesis of low molecular weight compounds with complement inhibition activity
-
An attempt was made to synthesize a series of non-cytotoxic low molecular weight meta-substituted aromatic ethers (2-4, 5-7) and some of their bioisosteres (14-16) and to evaluate their activity on the activation of human complement (classical pathway) and their intrinsic hemolytic activity. The in vitro assay results of the inhibition of complement-mediated hemolysis by these analogues indicate that the aldehydic meta substituted aromatic ethers show inhibitory potency, while carboxylic acid meta substituted aromatic ethers show hemolytic activity. Some of the bioisosteres exhibit both inhibitory as well as hemolytic property.

- Substituent effects on the meta photocycloaddition of arenes to alkenes
-
The meta photocycloaddition of cyano- and (trifluoromethyl)-substituted anisoles to cyclopentene has been investigated and the product ratios are shown to be compatible with a polar mechanism.The photochemical and thermal interconversions of the major adducts from 3-cyanoanisole and cyclopentene have also been investigated.
