- Structure-activity relationship studies for the development of inhibitors of murine adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL)
-
High serum fatty acid (FA) levels are causally linked to the development of insulin resistance, which eventually progresses to type 2 diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) generalized in the term metabolic syndrome. Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is the initial enzyme in the hydrolysis of intracellular triacylglycerol (TG) stores, liberating fatty acids that are released from adipocytes into the circulation. Hence, ATGL-specific inhibitors have the potential to lower circulating FA concentrations, and counteract the development of insulin resistance and NAFLD. In this article, we report about structure–activity relationship (SAR) studies of small molecule inhibitors of murine ATGL which led to the development of Atglistatin. Atglistatin is a specific inhibitor of murine ATGL, which has proven useful for the validation of ATGL as a potential drug target.

- Synthesis and bioactivity of sulfide derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole and pyridine
-
A series of novel sulfide derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole and pyridine were synthesized, characterized, and tested for their antibacterial activity against tobacco bacterial wilt and rice bacterial blight and for insecticidal activity toward diamondback moth. The results showed that some compounds had good insecticidal and bactericidal activity, e.g., the activities of compounds 6e and 6g–6j toward tobacco bacterial wilt were much better than those of commercial thiodiazole-copper, and some of the synthesized compounds possessed good insecticidal activity against Plutella xylostella. Compounds 6d, 6h, 6j, 6l, 6p, 6r, and 6p displayed over 93% activity at 500 mg L? 1.

- Design, synthesis, insecticidal activity and 3D-QSR study for novel trifluoromethyl pyridine derivatives containing an 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety
-
A series of trifluoromethyl pyridine derivatives containing 1,3,4-oxadiazole moiety was designed, synthesized and bio-assayed for their insecticidal activity. The result of bio-assays indicated the synthesized compounds exhibited good insecticidal activity against Mythimna separata and Plutella xylostella, most of the title compounds show 100% insecticidal activity at 500 mg L-1 and >80% activity at 250 mg L-1 against the two pests. Compounds E18 and E27 showed LC50 values of 38.5 and 30.8 mg L-1 against Mythimna separata, respectively, which were close to that of avermectin (29.6 mg L-1); compounds E5, E6, E9, E10, E15, E25, E26, and E27 showed 100% activity at 250 mg L-1, which were better than chlorpyrifos (87%). CoMFA and CoMSIA models with good predictability were proposed, which revealed the electron-withdrawing groups with an appropriate bulk at 2- and 4-positions of benzene ring could enhance insecticidal activity.

- A general electrochemical strategy for the Sandmeyer reaction
-
Herein we report a general electrochemical strategy for the Sandmeyer reaction. Using electricity as the driving force, this protocol employs a simple and inexpensive halogen source, such as NBS, CBrCl3, CH2I2, CCl4, LiCl and NaBr for the halogenation of aryl diazonium salts. In addition, we found that these electrochemical reactions could be performed using anilines as the starting material in a one-pot fashion. Furthermore, the practicality of this process was demonstrated in the multigram scale synthesis of aryl halides using highly inexpensive graphite as the electrode. A series of detailed mechanism studies have been performed, including radical clock and radical scavenger study, cyclic voltammetry analysis and in situ electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) analysis.

- Direct Transformation of Arylamines to Aryl Halides via Sodium Nitrite and N-Halosuccinimide
-
A one-pot universal approach for transforming arylamines to aryl halides via reaction with sodium nitrite (NaNO2) and N-halosuccinimide (NXS) in DMF at room temperature under metal- and acid-free condition is described. This new protocol that is complementary to the Sandmeyer reaction, is suggested to involve the in situ generation of nitryl halide induce nitrosylation of aryl amine to form the diazo intermediate which is halogenated to furnish the aryl halide.

- Synthesis of novel triazoles and a tetrazole of escitalopram as cholinesterase inhibitors
-
A novel serie of escitalopram triazoles (60-88) and a tetrazole (89) have been synthesized and subjected to a study to establish the inhibitory potential of these compounds toward acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE). Some selectivity in inhibition has been observed. The 4-chlorophenyl- (75, IC50, 6.71 ± 0.25 μM) and 2-methylphenyl- (70, IC50, 9.52 ± 0.23 μM) escitalopram triazole derivatives depicted high AChE inhibition, while 2-fluorophenyl- (76, IC50 = 4.52 ± 0.17 μM) and 4-fluorophenyl- (78, IC50 = 5.31 ± 0.43 μM) have found to be excellent BChE inhibitors. It has also been observed that ortho, meta and para substituted electron donating groups increase the inhibition, while electron withdrawing groups reduce the inhibition. Docking analyses of inhibitors with AChE have depicted the binding energies for 70 and 75 as ΔGbind -6.42 and -6.93 kcal/mol, respectively, while ligands 76 and 78 have shown the binding affinity ΔGbind -9.04 and -8.51 kcal/mol, respectively, for BChE.

- Preparation of unsymmetrical biaryls by pd(II)-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl iodides
-
The Ullmann homo-and cross-couplings of aryl iodides are carried out to afford symmetrical and unsymmetrical biaryls in moderate to good yields in a catalytic system of Pd(OAc)2/K2CO3/MeCOEt. The high selectivity of unsymmetrical biaryl products in cross-couplings mainly depends on the reactivity difference between two iodoarene substrates and their employed ratios.

- McMurry intermolecular cross-coupling between an ester and a ketone: Scope and limitations
-
In the course of our studies towards the synthesis of a dioxetane bearing chemiluminescent probe for the detection of thiols, we were faced with the synthesis of sterically hindered benzylic enol ethers. This issue was solved via the use of an intermolecular McMurry cross-coupling between an ester and a ketone. In this article, together with the synthesis of the chemiluminescent probe, the scope and limitations of this low valent titanium based carbon-carbon double bond formation are discussed.

- Iodination of both deactivated and activated arenes with sodium periodate or sodium iodate as the oxidants
-
Five easy, relatively inexpensive, and environmentally-safe aromatic oxidative iodination procedures are presented; three of them are particularly suitable for deactivated arenes. Nine deactivated arenes, four halobenzenes, benzene, toluene, and N,N-dimethylaniline were reacted upon with the following anhydrous systems: diiodine/NaIO4 or (in four cases) NaIO3/acetic anhydride/glacial acetic acid, acidified with varying amounts of concd (98%) sulfuric acid; the following workups are explained. The aromatic oxidative iodination reactions proceeded mostly at room temperature and within 1-8 h to give fifteen mono- and two diiodinated purified products (sometimes obtained in 2-3 different ways) in 51-95% yields.

- Oxidative iodination of arenes with manganese(IV) oxide or potassium permanganate as the oxidants
-
Novel and easy laboratory methods (novel Procedures 1-4) are presented for the oxidative mono- and diiodination of both activated and deactivated arenes, which gave the pure iodinated products in 62-89% yields. The reactions were carried out in the anhydrous, strongly acidic system, I2/activated MnO2/AcOH/Ac2O/concd H2SO4, firstly at r.t. for 2 h, then at 45-55 °C for 2-9 h. The resulting mixtures were poured into excess aq Na2SO3 solution buffered with (NH4)2CO3 to neutralize H2SO4. The following workups are given. Similarly, on carrying out the iodination reactions (at 35 °C, for one hour) in the anhydrous, strongly acidic system, I2/KMnO4/AcOH/Ac2O/concd H2SO4, it was possible to mono- or diiodinate several deactivated arenes in 73-87% yields (improved Procedures 5 and 6).

- The direct iodination of arenes with chromium(VI) oxide as the oxidant
-
An easy and cheap laboratory method is presented for the direct mono- and diiodination of a number of activated and deactivated arenes. The main iodination reactions occurred at the temperatures not exceeding 65°C for 0.5-12 h in the anhydrous, strongly acidic liquid system, I2/AcOH/Ac2O/H2SO4, in the presence of prior dissolved CrO3 used as the oxidant. The yields of the pure iodinated products varied from 31% (for 3,5- diiodobenzoic acid) up to 90% (for 4-iodoanisole). So far, benzonitrile and some oxidizable aromatics, e.g. naphthalene, fluorene, xanthene, and thiophene, have been found to be unsuitable for the effective iodination. Nevertheless, this novel, simple method of direct iodination is worthy to be extended to other appropriate aromatics.

The reaction of differnt aromatic compounds 1a-1t with iodine and a mercury(II)-salt 2 [mercury(II) chloride, nitrate or triflate] (1:1:1 molar ratio) in dichloromethane at room temperature leads to the corresponding iodoarene 3, the obtained regiochemistry being the expected. Concerning the mercury(II) salt, the observed reactivity decreased in the series triflate > nitrate > chloride according to their ionic character. An activation of the iodine molecule by the mercury(II) salt followed by a S(E) reaction with the aromatic compounds is postulated as the possible mechanism.
