- Silver-Catalyzed Selective Multicomponent Coupling Reactions of Arynes with Nitriles and Isonitriles
-
Pathway selective aryne-based novel multicomponent coupling reactions with isonitriles and nitriles are described. Crucial to these reactions is the formation of a silver-aryne complex, which shows differential reactivity toward isonitriles and nitriles to form two different forms of ortho-nitrilium organosilver arene species. Interception of the nitrilium of an aryne-isonitrile adduct with another isonitrile leads to the formation of benzocyclobutene-1,2-diimines, whereas the nitrilium of an aryne-nitrile adduct renders selective formation of 3H-indol-3-imines or 3-iminoindolin-2-ol depending on the structure of the nitrile employed.

- Isocyanide 2.0
-
The isocyanide functionality due to its dichotomy between carbenoid and triple bond characters, with a nucleophilic and electrophilic terminal carbon, exhibits unusual reactivity in organic chemistry exemplified for example in the Ugi reaction. Unfortunately, the over proportional use of only a few isocyanides hampers novel discoveries about the fascinating reactivity of this functional group. The synthesis of a broad range of isocyanides with multiple functional groups is lengthy, inefficient, and exposes the chemist to hazardous fumes. Here we present an innovative isocyanide synthesis overcoming these problems by avoiding the aqueous workup which we exemplify by parallel synthesis from a 0.2 mmol scale performed in 96-well microtiter plates up to a 0.5 mol multigram scale. The advantages of our methodology include an increased synthesis speed, very mild conditions giving access to hitherto unknown or highly reactive classes of isocyanides, rapid access to large numbers of functionalized isocyanides, increased yields, high purity, proven scalability over 5 orders of magnitude, increased safety and less reaction waste resulting in a highly reduced environmental footprint. For example, the hitherto believed to be unstable 2-isocyanopyrimidine, 2-acylphenylisocyanides and even o-isocyanobenzaldehyde could be accessed on a preparative scale and their chemistry was explored. Our new isocyanide synthesis will enable easy access to uncharted isocyanide space and will result in many discoveries about the unusual reactivity of this functional group. This journal is

- Palladium-Catalyzed Diarylation of Isocyanides with Tetraarylleads for the Selective Synthesis of Imines and α-Diimines
-
Using tetraaryllead compounds (PbAr4) as arylating reagents, isocyanides undergo selective diarylation in the presence of palladium catalysts such as Pd(OAc)2 or Pd(PPh3)4 to afford imines and/or α-diimines based on the isocyanide employed. With aliphatic isocyanides, imines are obtained preferentially, whereas α-diimines are formed in the case of electron-rich aromatic isocyanides. The differences in imine/α-diimine selectivity can be attributed to the stability of imidoylpalladium intermediates formed in this catalytic reaction. Compared with other arylating reagents, tetraaryllead compounds are excellent candidates for use in the selective transformations to imines and/or α-diimines, especially in terms of inhibiting the oligomerization of isocyanides, which results in a lower product selectivity in many transition-metal-catalyzed reactions of isocyanides.

- Visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization of oxime esters and aryl isonitriles: Synthesis of cyclopenta[: B] quinoxalines
-
A visible-light-induced radical cascade cyclization of aryl isonitriles and cyclobutanone oxime esters for the synthesis of cyclopenta[b]quinoxalines has been accomplished for the first time. The key to the success of this process was the integration of the in situ-formed nitrile radical followed by the cascade radical isonitrile/nitrile insertion-cyclization. The easy introduction of substituents for both substrates and the high functional group tolerance of the reaction make it an efficient strategy to give various quinoxaline derivatives in moderate to good yields.

- Selective Gold-Catalysed Synthesis of Cyanamides and 1-Substituted 1H-Tetrazol-5-Amines from Isocyanides
-
The newly discovered gold-catalysed reaction of isocyanides with hydrazoic acid generated in situ from trimethylsilyl azide and methanol (or, alternatively, from NaN3/AcOH) produces either cyanamides or 1-substituted 1H-tetrazol-5-amines, depending on the amount of available HN3. The reaction proceeds selectively and in generally high yields of either product, thus providing a particularly convenient access to a wide range of substituted 1H-tetrazol-5-amines that are rather difficult to access otherwise.

The reaction proceeds under mild conditions with fair to excellent yields. The easy introduction of substituents for both reactants and the broad functional group tolerance of the reaction make it a straightforward route to the cores of the marketed camptothecins and their derivatives.

- One-step synthesis of N, N′-substituted 4-imidazolidinones by an isocyanide-based pseudo-five-multicomponent reaction
-
A pseudo-five-multicomponent reaction involving an isocyanide, a primary amine, two molecules of formaldehyde and water is reported, which gives N,N′-substituted 4-imidazolidinones when trifluoroethanol is used as the solvent. The reaction proceeds with good yields and with a wide variety of amines and isocyanides, providing an efficient new entry to these heterocycles. A preliminary study of the reaction mechanism suggests that trifluoroethanol, although acting as the solvent, is directly involved as a reagent in the reaction pathway.

An efficient and practical thiocarbonyl surrogate via combination of sulfur and chloroform has been developed. A variety of thiocarbamides and oxazolidinethiones have been established, including chiral thiourea catalysts and chiral oxazolidinethione auxiliaries with high selectivity. Meanwhile, pesticides Diafenthiuron (an acaricide), ANTU (a rodenticide), and Chloromethiuron (an insecticide) were practically synthesized through this method in gram scale. Dicholorocarbene, as the key intermediate, was further confirmed via a carbene-trapping control experiment.

Arylisonitriles (2 equivalents) react with alkyl and perfluoroalkyl radicals to form 2-alkylated indole-3-imines via two sequential additions to the isonitrile moiety followed by homolytic aromatic substitution. The three component reaction comprises three C-C bond formations. The endocyclic imine functionality in the products is more reactive in follow up chemistry and hydrolysis of the exocyclic imine leads to 3-oxindoles that show fluorescence properties.

- Comparative measure of the electronic influence of highly substituted aryl isocyanides
-
To assess the relative electronic influence of highly substituted aryl isocyanides on transition metal centers, a series of C4v-symmetric Cr(CNR)(CO)5 complexes featuring various alkyl, aryl, and m-terphenyl substituents have been prepared. A correlation between carbonyl-ligand 13C{1H} NMR chemical shift (δCO) and calculated Cotton-Kraihanzel (C-K) force constant (kCO) is presented for these complexes to determine the relative changes in isocyanide σ-donor/π-acid ratio as a function of substituent identity and pattern. For nonfluorinated aryl isocyanides possessing alkyl or aryl substitution, minimal variation in effective σ-donor/π-acid ratio is observed over the series. In addition, aryl isocyanides featuring strongly electron-releasing substituents display an electronic influence that nearly matches that of nonfluorinated alkyl isocyanides. Lower σ-donor/π-acid ratios are displayed by polyfluorinated aryl isocyanide ligands. However, the degree of this attenuation relative to nonfluorinated aryl isocyanides is not substantial and significantly higher σ-donor/π-acid ratios than CO are observed in all cases. Substituent patterns for polyfluorinated aryl isocyanides are identified that give rise to low relative σ-donor/π-acid ratios but offer synthetic convenience for coordination chemistry applications. In order to expand the range of available substitution patterns for comparison, the syntheses of the new m-terphenyl isocyanides CNArTripp2, CNp-MeArMes2, CNp-MeArDArF2, and CNp-FArDArF2 are also reported (ArTripp2 = 2,6-(2,4,6-(i-Pr)3C6H2)2C6H3); p-MeArMes2 = 2,6-(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)2-4-Me-C6H2); p-MeArDArF2 = 2,6-(3,5-(CF3)2C6H3)2-4-Me-C6H2); p-FArDArF2 = 2,6-(3,5-(CF3)2C6H3)2-4-F-C6H2).

- Synthesis of selenazolopyridine derivatives with capability to induce apoptosis in human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells through scavenge of intracellular ROS
-
A series of selenazolopyridine derivatives have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction, high resolution NMR and Mass spectrum. The in vitro anticancer activities of the synthetic compounds were screened against a panel of human cancer cell lines, human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells, human liver carcinoma HepG2 cells and L02 normal cell line by MTT assay. By analyzing the structure-activity relationship among the synthetic compounds, it was found that 2-(phenylamino) selenazolo [5,4-b] pyridine, (PSeD, 7) had higher growth inhibitory effect on MCF-7 cells. The intracellular mechanism of cell death was evaluated by flow cytometric analysis and ROS assay, which revealed that PSeD could induce MCF-7 cells apoptosis by scavenging intracellular ROS. Taken together, we regard PSeD as an antioxidant which could inhibit cancer cell growth through induction of apoptosis.

An ultrasound-promoted one-pot Passerini/hydrolysis reaction sequence has been developed for the synthesis of trifluoroatrolactamide derivatives using a diverse range of trifluoroacetophenones and isonitriles in acetic acid. Parallel synthesis in a centrifuge tube using a noncontact ultrasonic cell crusher was used in this study as an efficient method for the rapid generation of combinatorial trifluoroatrolactamide libraries, and subsequent biochemical evaluation of the resulting compounds indicated that they possessed excellent broad-spectrum fungicidal activities. N-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-ethylphenyl)-3,3, 3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropanamide and N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3,3,3-trifluoro-2- hydroxy-2-(4-methoxyphenyl)propanamide, in particular, showed significant fungicidal activities against all of the fungal species tested in the current study.

- Oxidation of arylthiourea by cetyltrimethylammonium dichromate
-
With a view to investigate the oxidation behaviors of cetyltrimethylammonium dichromate on multifunctional groups, some arylthioureas were subjected to oxidation, both in neutral and in acidic conditions. In neutral conditions, the products were found to be a mixture of corresponding urea and isonitrile. In acidic conditions, the products were corresponding ureas only. A probable mechanism was proposed for the formation of the product, wherein the first step involves coupling of-NH2 and-SH of one molecule to the-NH2 and-SH of another molecule, respectively, which is followed by removal of nitrogen and sulfur. The microwave irradiation resulted in great yield of isonitrile than urea in neutral conditions. Supplemental materials are available for this article.

The preparation of sugar selenoureas by coupling of O-protected sugar-derived isoselenocyanates with different amines, and by coupling of unprotected glycopyranosyl amines with phenyl isoselenocyanate was also accomplished. The synthesis of a glucopyranos-2-yl-selenazole starting from O-protected 2-amino-2-deoxy-d-glucose by coupling with benzoyl isoselenocyanate, Se-alkylation with phenacyl bromide, and acid-catalyzed dehydration is also reported. Unprotected N-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-N′-phenylselenourea was transformed into a 1,2-trans-fused bicyclic isourea upon treatment with aqueous hydrogen peroxide; the same isourea was prepared by a one-pot three-step procedure from β-d-glycopyranosylamine by thiophosgenation, coupling with aniline, and HgO-mediated desulfurization.
