- Melatonin derivatives combat with inflammation-related cancer by targeting the Main Culprit STAT3
-
The combination between two well-studied bioactive compounds melatonin and salicylic acid with proper modifications unexpectedly creates a sharp pair of “scissors” cutting off the vicious connection between inflammation and cancer by targeting a key contributor Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription 3 (STAT3) in the two pathological processes. A representative compound P-3 with IC50 values on each tested cell line ranging from 7.37 to 18.62 μM among the designed melatonin derivatives is equipped with the ability of curbing inflammation-promoting cancer by down-regulating the expression, activation and nuclear translocation of STAT3, breaking the feedforward loop of STAT3 activation by decreasing the expression of pro-tumorigenic cytokines, and inducing cell apoptosis through ROS triggered Cyto-c/Caspase-3 pathway. This study suggests that the melatonin derivative P-3 is likely to become a promising chemical structure for developing the novel anti-cancer agents taking effect through hindering the mutual-promoting processes between inflammation and cancer.

- Redox-neutral decarboxylative photocyclization of anthranilic acids
-
A mild metal-, catalyst-, and oxidant-free photoredox neutral system has been found to efficiently enable intramolecular decarboxylative cyclization of anthranilic acids. This facile protocol provides an alternative method for the synthesis of carbazoles. Mechanistic studies reveal a key photoinduced 6π-electrocyclization process and formic acid was released as the sole byproduct.

- Substrate-Controlled Selectivity Switch in the Three-Component Coupling Involving Arynes, Aromatic Tertiary Amines, and CO2
-
The transition-metal-free multicomponent coupling involving arynes, aromatic tertiary amines, and CO2 is reported. The reaction exhibits switchable selectivity depending on the electronic nature of the aromatic amines used. With amines bearing electron-releasing/neutral groups as the nucleophilic trigger, the reaction afforded 2-arylamino benzoates via a nitrogen to oxygen alkyl group migration. Employing electron-deficient amines in the reaction furnished 2-aminoaryl benzoates proceeding via the aryl to aryl amino group migration resembling a Smiles rearrangement.

- PhI(OAc)2-mediated intramolecular oxidative aryl-aldehyde C sp 2-C sp 2 bond formation: Metal-free synthesis of acridone derivatives
-
A metal-free protocol for direct aryl-aldehyde Csp2-Csp 2 bond formation via a PhI(OAc)2-mediated intramolecular cross-dehydrogenative coupling (CDC) of various 2-(N-arylamino)aldehydes was developed. The novel methodology requires no need of preactivation of the aldehyde group, is applicable to a large variety of functionalized substrates, and most of all provides a convenient approach to the construction of biologically important acridone derivatives.

- Construction of 1,4-benzodiazepine skeleton from 2-(arylamino)benzamides through PhI(OAc)2-mediated oxidative C-N bond formation
-
New compounds involving the biologically important 1,4-benzodiazepine skeleton were conveniently constructed from 2-(arylamino)benzamides through PhI(OAc)2-mediated oxidative C-N bond formation. The attractive features of this new synthetic strategy include mild reaction conditions, the heavy-metal-free characteristic of the oxidative coupling process, and the flexibility to tolerate a broad scope of substrates.

- Thermal decomposition of tert-butyl o-(phenoxy)- and o-(anilino)-phenyliminoxyperacetates
-
Some o-phenoxy- and o-anilino-substituted aryliminyl radicals have been generated by thermal decomposition of suitable tert-butyl iminoxyperacetates. The iminyls show no disposition to give 7-membered cyclisation on the phenyl group. In some cases, products have been found that can be rationalised through a 1,6-spirocyclisation of the iminyl radicals followed by homolytic 1,5-migration of the phenyl group from the aminic to the iminic nitrogen: this seems to be the first instance of such a process. Evidence has been found for the formation of imines through hydrogen abstraction by the iminyls; with two o-phenoxy-substituted peresters these imines have been unexpectedly isolated. The reactions have also afforded significant - in some cases major - amounts of other products (acridine, quinazolinone and indole derivatives) presumably deriving from carbon radicals: mechanisms are suggested to account for the formation of these compounds. The structure of the quinazolinone compound has been determined by X-ray crystallographic analysis.

- Preparation of Ortho-Substituted Benzoic Acids by the Copper(II)-Catalyzed Reaction of Diphenyliodonium-2-carboxylate with Anilines and Other Nucleophiles
-
Diphenyliodonium-2-carboxylate (DPIC) reacts readily in copper ion catalyzed condensations with a variety of nucleophiles to give ortho-substituted benzoic acids.These reactions occur at temperatures (80-100 deg C) below those at which benzyne formation and other side reactions become important.The nature of the Cu(II) catalysis appears to be different from the more common Cu(I) catalysis of diaryliodonium reactions in that high specificity in the displacement reaction is retained.Products obtained directly from DPIC condensations include N-anthranilic acid (5b), N-methyl-N-phenylanthranilic acid (5c), N-mesyl-N-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)anthranilic acid (5d), N-(3-chloro-2-methylphenyl)-N-tosylanthranilic acid (5e), and o-(2,3-dimethylphenoxy)benzoic acid (5f).Compound 5d has been cyclized to N-(2,3-dimethylphenyl)-1H-2,1-benzothiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide (6).
