- Dihydropyrimidinones: Efficient one-pot green synthesis using Montmorillonite-KSF and evaluation of their cytotoxic activity
-
A simple, efficient, cost-effective, recyclable and green approach has been developed for the synthesis of new dihydropyrimidinone analogs via the Biginelli reaction. The methodology involves a multicomponent reaction catalyzed by "HPA-Montmorillonite-KSF"as a reusable and heterogeneous catalyst. This method gives an efficient and much improved modification of the original Biginelli reaction, in terms of yield and short reaction times under solvent free conditions. All the derivatives were subjected to cytotoxicity screening against a panel of four different human cancer cell lines viz. colon (Colo-205), prostate (PC-3), leukemia (THP-1) and lung (A549) to check their effect on percentage growth. MTT [3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-yl)-diphenyl tetrazoliumbromide] cytotoxicity assay was employed to check IC50 values. Of the synthesized analogs, 16a showed the best activity with IC50 of 7.1 ± 0.8, 13.1 ± 1.4, 13.8 ± 0.9 and 14.7 ± 1.1 μM against lung (A549), leukemia (THP-1), prostate (PC-3) and colon (Colo-205) cancer lines, respectively. The 16a analog was further checked for its effect on cancer cell properties through clonogenic (colony formation) and scratch motility (wound healing) assays and thereby was found that it reduced both the colony formation and migratory properties of the lung cancer cell line (A549). Further, molecular docking studies were performed with 16a to show its binding mode. This journal is

- Efficient Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones Catalyzed by a Phosphine-Free Cobalt-NHC Complex
-
A simple phosphine-free cobalt-NHC pincer complex has been synthesized and utilized for the transfer hydrogenation of ketones with 2-propanol as hydrogen donor. A broad range of ketones varying from aromatic, aliphatic and heterocyclic were effectively reduced to their corresponding alcohols in moderate to excellent yields with good tolerance of functional groups.

- Stepwise degradation of hydroxyl compounds to aldehydes: Via successive C-C bond cleavage
-
Stepwise degradation of hydroxyl compounds to aldehydes via successive cleavage of C-C bonds was achieved by using a bimetallic catalytic system (PdCl2 + CuCl) without any ligands and additives. The broad applicability is expanded to a diverse range of aromatic, aliphatic, primary and secondary alcohols, as well as lignin model compounds.

- N,O- vs N,C-Chelation in Half-Sandwich Iridium Complexes: A Dramatic Effect on Enantioselectivity in Asymmetric Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones
-
Cyclometalation of [Cp?IrCl2]2 with methyl (S)-2-phenyl-4,5-dihydrooxazole-4-carboxylate in the presence of NaOAc selectively led to a N,C- or N,O-chelated Cp?Ir(III) complex, depending on whether or not water was present in the reaction. While derived from the same precursor, these two complexes behaved in a dramatically different manner in asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) of ketones by formic acid, with the N,O-chelated complex being much more selective and active. The sense of asymmetric induction is also different, with the N,O-complex affording S while the N,C-analogue R alcohols. Further study revealed that the nature of the base additive considerably impacts the enantioselectivity and the effective HCOOH/amine ratios. These observations show the importance of ligand coordination mode and using the right base for ATH reactions.

- Dinuclear zinc complex catalyzed asymmetric methylation and alkynylation of aromatic aldehydes
-
A general AzePhenol dinuclear zinc catalytic system has been successfully developed and introduced into the asymmetric addition of dimethylzinc and alkynylzinc to aromatic aldehydes. In this system, an azetidine derived chiral ligand has proven to be an effective enantioselective promoter. Under the optimal reaction conditions, a series of chiral 1-hydroxyethyl (up to 99% ee) and secondary propargylic alcohols (up to 96% ee) were generated with good yields and enantioselectivities. Additionally, this novel catalytic system showed good functional group compatibility. Remarkably, the substituent's electronic nature alone is not sufficient to allow for exclusive enantioselectivity, an additional substituent's location also had an effect. We proposed that the formation of a stable and structural rigid transition state by the chelation of ortho substituted benzaldehydes to the zinc atom was responsible for the observed higher enantioselectivity. The possible catalytic cycles of both transformations accounting for the stereoselectivity were described accordingly.

- Highly selective direct azidation of alcohols over a heterogeneous povidone-phosphotungstic solid acid catalyst
-
A simple protocol for the selective azidation of alcohols is developed using a solid acid hybrid of a povidone and phosphotungstic acid (PVP-PWA) using azidotrimethylsilane as an azide source at room temperature. In a broad substrate scope, various activated as well as unactivated benzylic and diphenyl alcohols were treated smoothly with TMS-N3 to selectively produce only azide products with excellent yields in a very short reaction time of 2 h. FT-IR confirmed the stability of the catalyst with retention of the Keggins structure after the reaction. Recycling experiments demonstrated the reusability of the PVP-PWA (3?:?1) several times without losing its original activity.

Nickel phthalocyanine with polyethylene glycol- 400 is described as a reusable green catalytic system for highly chemo- and regioselective reduction of carbonyl compounds to corresponding alcohols at room temperature. The catalytic system showed wide substrate scope covering aromatic, hetero aromatic and aliphatic carbonyl compounds with high turnover number and frequency. In the present study, 1,3- and 1,4-benzenedicarbaldehydes have been regioselectively reduced to corresponding alcohols for the first time. The catalyst was reused up to seven times without any significance loss in activity. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2012.

-
A mononuclear Ru(II)-N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complex [Ru II(CO)2(κ2C,N-BIN)(H2O)Br] [OTf] (OTf = trifluoromethane sulphonate) (1) has been synthesized in high-yield by the oxidative cleavage of the metal-metal singly-bonded diruthenium(I) precursor [Ru2(CO)4(CH3CN)6(OTf) 2] with 1,8-naphthyridine functionalized NHC precursor 1-benzyl-3-(5,7-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyrid-2-yl)imidazolium bromide (BIN·HBr) at room temperature. Compound 1 catalyzes transfer hydrogenation of ketones to alcohols, and carbene-transfer from ethyl diazoacetate to a variety of substrates. It is shown to be an excellent catalyst for the insertion of carbene into the O-H and N-H bonds of alcohols and amines.

- Preparative asymmetric reduction of ketones in a biphasic medium with an (S)-alcohol dehydrogenase under in situ-cofactor-recycling with a formate dehydrogenase
-
The substrate range of a novel recombinant (S)-alcohol dehydrogenase from Rhodococcus erythropolis is described. In addition, an enzyme-compatible biphasic reaction medium for the asymmetric biocatalytic reduction of ketones with in situ-cofactor regeneration has been developed. Thus, reductions of poorly water soluble ketones in the presence of the alcohol dehydrogenase from R. erythropolis and a formate dehydrogenase from Candida boidinii can be carried out at higher substrate concentrations of 10-200 mM. The resulting (S)-alcohols were formed with moderate to good conversion rates, and with up to >99% ee.

-
The syntheses of symmetrically 2,2'-disubstituted butestrols [meso-2,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)butanes] and of 6,6'-disubstituted metabutestrols [meso-2,3-bis(3-hydroxyphenyl)butanes] are described [2,2'-substituents: H (1), OH (2), F (3), Cl (4), Br (5), CH3 (6), and C2H5 (7); 6,6'-substituents: H (8), OH (9), Cl (10), and CH3 (11)]. Compounds 1-11 were obtained by reductive coupling of the corresponding 1-phenylethanols with TiCl3/LiAlH4 and separation of the meso diastereomers. The binding affinity of the test compounds to the calf uterine estrogen receptor was measured relative to that of [3H]estradiol by a competitive binding assay. With the exception of 9, all other compounds showed remarkably high relative binding affinity (RBA) values between 1.0 and 29% that of estradiol. Compounds 3 and 6 (RBA values: 15 and 29), as well as 10 and 11 (1.7 and 5.2), exceeded those of the corresponding unsubstituted compounds 1 and 8 (12 and 1.0). The compounds exhibited strong (3, 4, 6, and 7), moderate (1, 2, and 10), weak (11), or no (8) estrogenic activity in the uterine weight test of the immature mouse. Compounds 1, 2, 8, 10 and 11 showed antiestrogenic activity inhibiting the estrone-stimulated uterine growth (25-35% inhibition). Compound 11 led to a significant inhibition of the tumor growth when tested on the 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene induced, hormone-dependent mammary carcinoma of the Sprague-Dawley rat.
