- Synthesis of homotaurine and 1-substituted homotaurines from α,β-unsaturated nitriles
-
Homotaurine and a series of 1-substituted homotaurines were readily synthesized in satisfactory to good yields via the Michael addition of thioacetic acid to aliphatic and aromatic α,β-unsaturated nitriles followed by lithium aluminum hydride mediated reduction and performic acid oxidation. The synthesis of 1,1-disubstituted homotaurines was attempted with β,β-disubstituted acrylonitriles as starting materials but failed due to steric hindrance. The current process is an efficient method for the synthesis of 1-substituted homotaurines. Georg Thieme Verlag Stuttgart New York.

- An efficient synthesis of dithiocarbamates under ultrasound irradiation in water
-
Multicomponent reactions with ultrasonic activation have been used as a simple, rapid, atom economic, and green method for the synthesis of dithiocarbamate derivatives in water. The one-pot, three-component condensation of primary and secondary amines with carbon disulfide and unsaturated carbonyl compounds or alkyl halides under ultrasonic irradiation was developed as a green and fast protocol for the rapid high-yielding preparation of dithio-carbamates in water.

- OH-/silica-mediated one-pot synthesis of dithiocarbamates under solvent-free conditions
-
An efficient, versatile, and environmentally benign method for the synthesis of dithiocarbamates under solvent-free conditions is reported. The Michael addition of electron-deficient alkenes with alkyl or aryl amines and CS2 in the presence of OH-/silica in a one-pot three-component reaction protocol gave the corresponding dithiocarbamates in good to excellent yields. This method is suitable for a wide range of amines and a variety of Michael acceptors in solvent-free conditions. The results of the present work show the desired products in excellent yields.

- Exploring the structural requirements for inhibition of the ubiquitin E3 ligase breast cancer associated protein 2 (BCA2) as a treatment for breast cancer
-
The zinc-ejecting aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) inhibitory drug disulfiram (DSF) was found to be a breast cancer-associated protein 2 (BCA2) inhibitor with potent antitumor activity. We herein describe our work in the synthesis and evaluation of new series of zinc-affinic molecules to explore the structural requirements for selective BCA2-inhibitory antitumor activity. An N(C - S)S - S motif was found to be required, based on selective activity in BCA2-expressing breast cancer cell lines and against recombinant BCA2 protein. Notably, the DSF analogs (3a and 3c) and dithio(peroxo)thioate compounds (5d and 5f) were found to have potent activity (submicromolar IC50) in BCA2 positive MCF-7 and T47D cells but were inactive (IC50 > 10 μM) in BCA2 negative MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells and the normal breast epithelial cell line MCF10A. Testing in the isogenic BCA2 +ve MDA-MB-231/ER cell line restored antitumor activity for compounds that were inactive in the BCA2 -ve MDA-MB-231 cell line. In contrast, structurally related dithiocarbamates and benzisothiazolones (lacking the disulfide bond) were all inactive. Compounds 5d and 5f were additionally found to lack ALDH-inhibitory activity, suggestive of selective E3 ligase-inhibitory activity and worthy of further development.

- Catalysis by ionic liquids: Significant rate acceleration with the use of [pmIm]Br in the three-component synthesis of dithiocarbamates
-
An easily accessible neutral ionic liquid, 1-methyl-3-pentylimidazolium bromide, promoted a one-pot three-component condensation of an amine, carbon disulfide, and an activated alkene/dichloromethane/epoxide to produce the corresponding dithiocarbamates in high yields at room temperature. The reactions are very fast in ionic liquids relative to those in other reaction media. These reactions do not require any additional catalyst or solvent. The ionic liquid can be recovered and recycled for subsequent reactions. A plausible mechanism is suggested. Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 2008.
