- Metal-Free Deoxygenation of Chiral Nitroalkanes: An Easy Entry to α-Substituted Enantiomerically Enriched Nitriles
-
A metal-free, mild and chemodivergent transformation involving nitroalkanes has been developed. Under optimized reaction conditions, in the presence of trichlorosilane and a tertiary amine, aliphatic nitroalkanes were selectively converted into amines or nitriles. Furthermore, when chiral β-substituted nitro compounds were reacted, the stereochemical integrity of the stereocenter was maintained and α-functionalized nitriles were obtained with no loss of enantiomeric excess. The methodology was successfully applied to the synthesis of chiral β-cyano esters, α-aryl alkylnitriles, and TBS-protected cyanohydrins, including direct precursors of four active pharmaceutical ingredients (ibuprofen, tembamide, aegeline and denopamine).

We report here for the first time a novel difluoromethylated ketimine building block condensed by thioisatin and difluoroethylamine, offering efficient access to a broad range of enantioenriched products bearing difluoroethylamine units (27 examples, ≤98% yield, >99% ee) in the presence of quinine-derived squaramide. Further transformation of the intermediate would generate a variety of versatile functional blocks like α-difluoromethyl amines, β-amino acid, and β-diamine with retention of the enantiomeric excess at the difluoromethyl-bound carbon.

The ipso nitration of aryl boronic acid derivatives has been developed using fuming nitric acid as the nitrating agent. This facile procedure provides efficient and chemoselective access to a variety of aromatic nitro compounds. While several activating agents and nitro sources have been reported in the literature for this synthetically useful transformation, this report demonstrates that these processes likely generate a common active reagent, anhydrous HNO3. Kinetic and mechanistic studies have revealed that the reaction order in HNO3 is >2 and indicate that the ?NO2 radical is the active species.

A two-step Pd-catalyzed (3 + 2) cycloaddition/HNO2 elimination reaction sequence has been developed to give novel cyclic 1,3-dien-5-yne systems from Pd-stabilized zwitterionic 1,3-dipoles and 2-nitro-1,3-enyne substrates. The process is highly atom-efficient and tolerates the reaction of 2-vinyloxirane, 1-tosyl-2-vinylaziridine, and diethyl 2-vinylcyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylate derived 1,3-dipoles with a variety of 2-nitro-1,3-enyne substrates. The stereochemistry of the intermediate (3 + 2) cycloadducts was determined by single crystal X-ray analysis. Furthermore, a selective kinetic elimination of the cycloadduct with an antiperiplanar relationship between the NO2 group and the participating hydrogen was demonstrated, allowing for efficient isolation of a single diastereoisomer of the cycloadduct.

- tert-Butyl Nitrite Mediated Nitro-Nitratosation of Internal Alkenes
-
In an oxygen atmosphere tert-butyl nitrite (TBN) reacts with unsymmetrical internal benzylic alkenes giving nitro-nitratosation product exclusively. The γ-diaryl-substituted styrenes provided better yields compared to γ-alkyl-aryl-substituted styrenes. The higher yields for the former type of substrates is possibly dictated by the additional stability of benzylic radical due to the anchimeric assistance imparted by the γ-substituted phenyl ring. During oxidative nitration, the nitro (NO2) group adds at the non-benzylic site, whereas the nitrato group (ONO2) is attached at the relatively stable benzylic position. Under similar reaction conditions, α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids, afforded nitroalkenes as the sole product.

- Biological evaluation and SAR analysis of novel covalent inhibitors against fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase
-
Fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) is an attractive target for affecting the GNG pathway. In our previous study, the C128 site of FBPase has been identified as a new allosteric site, where several nitrovinyl compounds can bind to inhibit FBPase activity. Herein, a series of nitrostyrene derivatives were further synthesized, and their inhibitory activities against FBPase were investigated in vitro. Most of the prepared nitrostyrene compounds exhibit potent FBPase inhibition (IC50 3, CF3, OH, COOH, or 2-nitrovinyl were installed at the R2 (meta-) position of the benzene ring, the FBPase inhibitory activities of the resulting compounds increased 4.5–55 folds compared to those compounds with the same groups at the R1 (para-) position. In addition, the preferred substituents at the R3 position were Cl or Br, thus compound HS36 exhibited the most potent inhibitory activity (IC50 = 0.15 μM). The molecular docking and site-directed mutation suggest that C128 and N125 are essential for the binding of HS36 and FBPase, which is consistent with the C128-N125-S123 allosteric inhibition mechanism. The reaction enthalpy calculations show that the order of the reactions of compounds with thiol groups at the R3 position is Cl > H > CH3. CoMSIA analysis is consistent with our proposed binding mode. The effect of compounds HS12 and HS36 on glucose production in primary mouse hepatocytes were further evaluated, showing that the inhibition was 71% and 41% at 100 μM, respectively.

Chlorination of conjugated nitroalkenes with iodobenzene dichloride or sulfuryl chloride to give target α-chloronitroalkenes in good yields is described. Details of the procedure depend on the donating ability of the nitroalkene substituents. The activity of the described chlorinating agents increases in order 'PhICl 2/Py' 2Cl 2' 2Cl 2/HCl' with the former producing the best yields for highly donating substrates and the latter for non-activated groups. An autocatalytic role of hydrogen chloride and the chemoselectivity of chlorination were also demonstrated.

- Molecular Engineering of β-Substituted Oxoporphyrinogens for Hydrogen-Bond Donor Catalysis
-
A new class of bifunctional hydrogen-bond donor organocatalyst using oxoporphyrinogens having increased intramolecular hydrogen-bond donor distances is reported. Oxoporphyrinogens are highly non-planar rigid macrocycles containing a multiple hydrogen bond-forming binding site. In this work, we describe the first example of non-planar OxPs as hydrogen-bond donor catalysts prepared using a molecular engineering approach of the binding site for dual activation of substrates. The introduction of β-substituents is key to the catalytic activity and the catalysts are able to catalyze 1,4-conjugate additions and sulfa-Michael additions, as well as, Henry and aza-Henry reactions at low catalyst loadings (≤ 1 mol-%) under mild conditions. Preliminary mechanistic studies have been carried out and a possible reaction mechanism has been proposed based on the bi-functional activation of both substrates through hydrogen-bonding interactions.

β-Nitrostyrenes underwent a Diels-Alder reaction with Danishefsky's diene to afford cyclohexenes together with the corresponding hydrolyzed products, 3-arylated-5-methoxy-4-nitrocyclohexanones.

Subsequent aromatization by heating the cyclohexanone with a catalytic amount of iodine in dimethyl sulfoxide gave 3-arylated-4-nitrophenols. The reaction of nitrostyrenes with Danishefsky's diene could be conducted in one pot to directly afford the corresponding nitrophenols. Moreover, a heteroaryl group, e.g., a thienyl group could be introduced into the nitrophenol framework.

Porous boron nitride was synthesized by pyrolysis from boric acid and urea mixed in varying molar ratios. The boron nitride prepared had high surface areas ranging from 376 to 647 m2 g?1 with both microporous and mesoporous structures. The sample prepared with a urea-to-boric acid molar ratio of 5 exhibited the highest pore volume with the highest surface area of mesopores. Boron-K edge X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy revealed that the surface structure consisted of BN3 sites along with BN2O, BNO2, and BO3 sites. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicated the formation of amino and hydroxyl groups on the surface. Analysis using color indicator reagents and deuterated chloroform-adsorbed FTIR results indicated that the porous boron nitride had very weak base sites of strength +7.2>H?≥+6.3. Porous boron nitride exhibited a high activity for the nitroaldol reaction with a high selectivity for nitroalkene (>97 %). A good correlation was observed between the catalytic activity of the boron nitride catalysts and their porous structures.

- Synthetic Diversity from a Versatile and Radical Nitrating Reagent
-
We leverage the slow liberation of nitrogen dioxide from a newly discovered, inexpensive succinimide-derived reagent to allow for the C?H diversification of alkenes and alkynes. Beyond furnishing a library of aryl β-nitroalkenes, this reagent provides unparalleled access to β-nitrohydrins and β-nitroethers. Detailed mechanistic studies strongly suggest that a mesolytic N?N bond fragmentation liberates a nitryl radical. Using in situ photo-sensitized, electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, we observed direct evidence of a nitryl radical in solution by nitrone spin-trapping. To further exhibit versatility of N-nitrosuccinimide under photoredox conditions, the late-stage diversification of an extensive number of C?H partners to prepare isoxazolines and isoxazoles is presented. This approach allows for the formation of an in situ nitrile oxide from a ketone partner, the presence of which is detected by the formation of the corresponding furoxan when conducted in the absence of a dipolarophile. This 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition with nitrile oxides and alkenes or alkynes proceeds in a single-operational step using a mild, regioselective, and general protocol with broad chemoselectivity.

- Visible light-mediated intermolecular [2 + 2] photocycloaddition of 1-aryl-2-nitroethenes and olefins
-
Despite the importance of cyclobutanes there are not many direct [2 + 2] photocycloaddition reactions which can be performed with visible light in the absence of a catalyst. A notable exception is the reaction of 1-aryl-2-nitroethenes and olefins which can be performed at a wavelength of λ = 419 nm or λ = 424 nm in CH2Cl2 as the solvent. In the present study, a total of 15 1-aryl-2-nitroethenes were found to undergo a [2 + 2] photocycloaddition with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (28-86% yield) and a set of 12 olefins was studied in their photocycloaddition to 1-phenyl-2-nitroethene (37-88% yield). All mechanistic results are in agreement with a triplet reaction pathway and with the intermediacy of a 1,4-diradical.

- Catalytic and Mechanistic Developments of the Nickel(II) Pincer Complex-Catalyzed Hydroarsination Reaction
-
Synthetic challenges have significantly slowed the development of the catalytic asymmetric hydroarsination reaction despite it being a highly attractive C?As bond formation methodology. In addition, there is a poor understanding of the main reaction steps in such reactions which limit further development in the field. Herein, key intermediates of the hydroarsination reaction catalyzed by a PCP NiII-Cl pincer complex are presented upon investigating the reaction with DFT calculations, conductivity measurements, NMR spectroscopy, and catalytic screening. The novel Ni–Cl–As interaction proposed was then contrasted against known NiII-catalyzed hydrophosphination reactions to highlight dissimilarities between them even though P and As share a close group relationship. Lastly, the asymmetric hydroarsination of nitroolefins was further developed to furnish a library of chiral organoarsines in up to 99 % yield and 80 % ee under mild conditions (?20 °C to RT) between 5 to 210 mins.

We report mesoporous nano-Pd-MCM-41 catalyzed rapid and efficient synthesis of 1,3,5-triarylbenzenes via de-nitrative cyclotrimerization of β-nitrostyrenes. All the reactions were very fast and high yielding. The Pd-MCM-41 was also very effective in catalyzing de-nitrative [3+2] cycloaddition of β-nitrostyrenes with TMSN3 to synthesize 4-aryl-NH-1,2,3-triazoles. The catalyst was reused at least up to eight times with minimum loss of catalytic activity.

- Combined Photoredox/Enzymatic C?H Benzylic Hydroxylations
-
Chemical transformations that install heteroatoms into C?H bonds are of significant interest because they streamline the construction of value-added small molecules. Direct C?H oxyfunctionalization, or the one step conversion of a C?H bond to a C?O bond, could be a highly enabling transformation due to the prevalence of the resulting enantioenriched alcohols in pharmaceuticals and natural products,. Here we report a single-flask photoredox/enzymatic process for direct C?H hydroxylation that proceeds with broad reactivity, chemoselectivity and enantioselectivity. This unified strategy advances general photoredox and enzymatic catalysis synergy and enables chemoenzymatic processes for powerful and selective oxidative transformations.

- tert-Butyl Nitrite Mediated Different Functionalizations of Internal Alkenes: Paths to Furoxans and Nitroalkenes
-
tert-Butyl nitrite (TBN) reacts differently with various internal alkenes leading to interesting and useful products. Synthesis of 1,2,5-oxadiazole-N-oxides (furoxans) has been achieved from internal alkenes using tert-butyl nitrite (TBN), quinoline and K2S2O8. Under an identical reaction condition α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acids and cyclic and acyclic internal alkenes both afforded nitroalkenes as the sole product via decarboxylative and direct nitration path respectively.

- A Deprotonation Approach to the Unprecedented Amino-Trimethylenemethane Chemistry: Regio-, Diastereo-, and Enantioselective Synthesis of Complex Amino Cycles
-
The first realization of the amino-trimethylenemethane chemistry is reported using a deprotonation strategy to simplify the synthesis of the amino-trimethylenemethane donor in two steps from commercial and inexpensive materials. A broad scope of cycloaddition acceptors (seven different classes) participated in the chemistry, chemo-, regio-, diastereo-, and enantioselectively generating various types of highly valuable complex amino cycles. Multiple derivatization reactions that further elaborated the initial amino cycles were performed without isolation of the crude product. Ultimately, we applied the amino-trimethylenemethane chemistry to synthesize a potential pharmaceutical in 8 linear steps and 7.5 % overall yield, which previously was achieved in 18 linear steps and 0.6 % overall yield.

- Synthesis, antiproliferative and pro-apoptotic effects of nitrostyrenes and related compounds in Burkitt’s lymphoma
-
Background: Cancers of the lymphatic cells (lymphomas) account for approximately 12% of malignant diseases worldwide. The nitrostyrene scaffold is identified as a lead target structure for the development of particularly effective compounds targeting Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL). Objectives: The aims of the curent study were to synthesise a panel of nitrostyrene compounds and to evaluate their activity in Burkitt’s lymphoma (BL). Methods: A panel of structurally varied compounds were designed and synthesised using Henry Knoevenagel condensation reactions. Single crystal X-Ray analysis confirmed the E configuration for six examples of these novel structures. A number of nitrostyrene-related compounds were also investigated including 1,3-bis(aryl)-2-nitropropenes together with heterocyclic scaffolds containing the nitrovinyl pharmacophore such as 3-nitro-2-phenyl-2H-chromenes. The antiproliferative activities of the compounds were evaluated using the BL cell lines EBV- MUTU-1 and EBV+ DG-75 (chemoresistant) to establish preliminary structure-activity relationships. Results: Lead compounds with optimized nitrostyrene scaffolds and 3-nitro-2-phenyl-2Hchromene structures were successfully established with typical IC50 values of 0.45 μM and 0.47 μM in MUTU-1 cells and 1.41 μM and 1.92 μM, respectively, in DG-75 cells. The mechanism of cell death was identified as apoptotic and the lead compound was found to elicit comparable apoptotic effects to Taxol in Burkitt’s lymphoma cell lines MUTU-1 and DG-75. Conclusion: This class of pharmaceutically active compounds with potential for the treatment of Burkitt’s lymphoma suggest a potential role for nitrostyrene based agents in chemotherapy.

- Direct dihalo-alkoxylation of nitroalkenes leading to β,β-dihalo-β-nitroethyl alkyl ethers
-
A highly efficient one-pot synthesis of β,β-dihalo-β-nitroethyl alkyl ethers is achieved by the treatment of nitroalkenes with alcohols and N-halosuccinimides in the presence of sodium hydride. The notable advantages of this protocol are that it involves simple experimental manipulations and tolerates a wide range of functional groups. Further transformations of the obtained ethers, such as allylation and conversion to β,β-dihalogenated vinyl ethers, are also investigated.

- Magnetically recoverable copper ferrite catalyzed cascade synthesis of 4-Aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles under microwave irradiation
-
Magnetically active CuFe2O4 catalyzed cascade synthesis of 4-Aryl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles under microwave irradiation starting from aromatic aldehydes, sodium azide and nitromethane has been developed and demonstrated here. The catalyst system needed for the purpose was prepared following a procedure by A. Dandiya et al. with a slight modification and was characterized using FT-IR, XRD, SEM-EDX and TEM analysis. The most notable advantage of the developed methodology is the excellent time economy to carry out the transformation. Other features include simple operating procedure, wide substrate coverage and easy recovery of the catalyst. Reusability of the catalyst has been tested and found to be very satisfactory up to sixth cycle without significant loss in efficiency. All the synthesized compounds have been characterized using FTIR, 1H & 13CNMR spectroscopy, HRMS.

- Identification of (1S,4S)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-dithiocarbamate-nitrostyrene hybrid as potent antiproliferative and apoptotic inducing agent against cervical cancer cell lines
-
The present study seeks to describe the design and synthesis of six new Michael adducts of (1S,4S)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane-dithiocarbamate with nitrostyrenes and their in vitro antiproliferative activity against human cervical cancer cell lines [HeLa (HPV 18 positive), CaSki (HPV 16 positive) and ViBo (HPV negative) cervical cancer cell lines]. Virtual screening of the physicochemical properties of all compounds have also been presented. All the compounds exploited significant antiproliferative activity on the three cervical cancer cell lines. Compound 8a was found to be most potent, displaying in vitro antiproliferative activity against HeLa, CaSki and ViBo cervical cancer cell lines superior to Cisplatin and Paclitaxel with IC50 values 0.99 ± 0.007, 2.36 ± 0.016 and 0.73 ± 0.002 μM respectively. In addition, compound 8a did not trigger the necrosis cell death to the test cancer cell lines. Further mechanistic study revealed that compound 8a could inhibit the cancer cell proliferation by inducing apoptosis through caspase-3 activation. Moreover, cell cycle analysis indicated that compound 8a could arrest the cell cycle at the G1 phase for HeLa and CaSki cancer cells. At the predetermined IC50 values on cancer cells, compound 8a did not induce any necrotic (cytotoxic) death to the normal human lymphocytes. In the present design, (1S,4S)-2,5-diazabicyclo[2.2.1]heptane system was found to be superior than the piperazine counterpart 11.

- Mechanistic Studies on the Michael Addition of Amines and Hydrazines to Nitrostyrenes: Nitroalkane Elimination via a Retro-aza-Henry-Type Process
-
In this article we report on the mechanistic studies of the Michael addition of amines and hydrazines to nitrostyrenes. Under the present conditions, the corresponding N-alkyl/aryl substituted benzyl imines and N-methyl/phenyl substituted benzyl hydrazones were observed via a retro-aza-Henry-type process. By combining organic synthesis and characterization experiments with computational chemistry calculations, we reveal that this reaction proceeds via a protic solvent-mediated mechanism. Experiments in deuterated methanol CD3OD reveal the synthesis and isolation of the corresponding deuterated intermediated Michael adduct, results that support the proposed slovent-mediated pathway. From the synthetic point of view, the reaction occurs under mild, noncatalytic conditions and can be used as a useful platform to yield the biologically important N-methyl pyrazoles in a one-pot manner, simple starting with the corresponding nitrostyrenes and the methylhydrazine.

- Squaramide-Linked Chloramphenicol Base Hybrid Catalysts for the Asymmetric Michael Addition of 2,3-Dihydrobenzofuran-2-carboxylates to Nitroolefins
-
An array of hybrid catalysts incorporating a chloramphenicol base moiety linked to another chiral scaffold through a squaramide linker were developed and successfully used in the Michael addition of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-carboxylates to nitroolefins. Control experiments suggested that the hybrid catalysts were more reactive than nonhybridized bifunctional catalysts, and matching of the chirality between the two scaffolds was crucial for high reactivity and stereoselectivity. These hybrid organocatalysts could be used with a variety of substrates. At a 0.5 mol-% catalyst loading, a range of 2,3-dihydrobenzofuran-2-carboxylates derivatives bearing quaternary and tertiary stereogenic centers were obtained in high yields (up to 98 %) with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 99 % ee) and moderate diastereoselectivities (up to 8:92 dr).
