I2-Promoted [3+2] Cyclization of 1,3-Diketones with Potassium Thiocyanate: a Route to Thiazol-2(3H)-One Derivatives
An I2-promoted strategy has been developed for the synthesis of thiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives from 1,3-diketones with potassium thiocyanate. This [3+2] cyclization reaction involves C?S and C?N bond formation and exhibits good functional group tolerance. A series of thiazol-2(3H)-one derivatives are obtained in moderate to good yields. (Figure presented.).

Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel hydroxamic acid based histone deacetylase 6 selective inhibitors bearing phenylpyrazol scaffold as surface recognition motif
In recent years, inhibition of HDAC6 became a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of cancer and HDAC6 inhibitors were considered to be potent anti-cancer agents. In this work, celecoxib showed moderate degree of HDAC6 inhibition activity and selectivity in preliminary enzyme inhibition activity assay. A series of hydroxamic acid derivatives bearing phenylpyrazol moiety were designed and synthesized as HDAC6 inhibitors. Most compounds showed potent HDAC6 inhibition activity. 11i was the most selective compound against HDAC6 with IC50 values of 0.020 μM and selective factor of 101.1. Structure-activity relationship analysis indicated that locating the linker group at 1′ of pyrazol gave the most selectivity. The most compounds 11i (GI50 = 3.63 μM) exhibited 6-fold more potent than vorinostat in HepG2 cells. Considering of the high selectivity against HDAC6 and anti-proliferation activity, such compounds have potential to be developed as anti-cancer agents.
Propargyl bromide as an excellent α-bromoacetone equivalent: Convenient and new route to α-aroylacetones
A variety of α-aroylacetones 4a-g have been prepared in excellent yields following a new protocol wherein α-aminonitriles 1a-g as the aryl acyl anion equivalents readily react with propargyl bromide as the α-bromoacetone equivalent. The alkylated product undergoes one-pot unmasking of the keto functionality along with Markovnikov's hydration of the terminal alkyne with CuSO4·5H2O in aqueous methanol at 60 °C to furnish the desired target in excellent isolated yields.
