- C?H Oxygenation Reactions Enabled by Dual Catalysis with Electrogenerated Hypervalent Iodine Species and Ruthenium Complexes
-
The catalytic generation of hypervalent iodine(III) reagents by anodic electrooxidation was orchestrated towards an unprecedented electrocatalytic C?H oxygenation of weakly coordinating aromatic amides and ketones. Thus, catalytic quantities of iodoarenes in concert with catalytic amounts of ruthenium(II) complexes set the stage for versatile C?H activations with ample scope and high functional group tolerance. Detailed mechanistic studies by experiment and computation substantiate the role of the iodoarene as the electrochemically relevant species towards C?H oxygenations with electricity as a sustainable oxidant and molecular hydrogen as the sole by-product. para-Selective C?H oxygenations likewise proved viable in the absence of directing groups.

- Rhodium-Catalyzed Directing-Group-Assisted Aldehydic C–H Arylations with Aryl Halides
-
A rhodium-catalyzed general protocol for the directing-group-assisted arylation of aromatic aldehydic C–H bonds was developed. This method involves either hydroxy- or amino-group-directed aldehyde C–H arylation with various aryl halides. A broad synthetic scope for the preparation of 2-hydroxybenzophenones was established with electronically variant salicylaldehydes and aryl halides with chemo- and regioselective possibilities. The developed protocol was also applied in the synthesis of medicinally important 3-salicyloylpyridines in high yields.

- Pd/Cu-cocatalyzed aerobic oxidative carbonylative homocoupling of arylboronic acids and CO: A highly selective approach to diaryl ketones
-
A highly selective Pd/Cu-cocatalyzed aerobic oxidative carbonylative homocoupling of arylboronic acids has been developed. This method employs a simple catalytic system, readily available boronic acids as the substrates, molecular oxygen as the oxidant, and 1 atm of CO/O2, which makes this method practical for further applications.

- 2,2′-Dihydroxybenzophenones and their carbonyl N-analogues as inhibitor scaffolds for MDR-involved human glutathione transferase isoenzyme A1-1
-
The MDR-involved human GSTA1-1, an important isoenzyme overexpressed in several tumors leading to chemotherapeutic-resistant tumour cells, has been targeted by 2,2′-dihydroxybenzophenones and some of their carbonyl N-analogues, as its potential inhibitors. A structure-based library of the latter was built-up by a nucleophilic cleavage of suitably substituted xanthones to 2,2′-dihydroxy-benzophenones (5-9) and subsequent formation of their N-derivatives (oximes 11-13 and N-acyl hydrazones 14-16). Screening against hGSTA1-1 led to benzophenones 6 and 8, and hydrazones 14 and 16, having the highest inhibition potency (IC50 values in the range 0.18 ± 0.02 to 1.77 ± 0.10 μM). Enzyme inhibition kinetics, molecular modeling and docking studies showed that they interact primarily at the CDNB-binding catalytic site of the enzyme. In addition, the results from cytotoxicity studies with human colon adenocarcinoma cells showed low LC 50 values for benzophenone 6 and its N-acyl hydrazone analogue 14 (31.4 ± 0.4 μM and 87 ± 1.9 μM, respectively), in addition to the strong enzyme inhibition profile (IC50(6 ) = 1,77 ± 0.10 μM; IC50(14 ) = 0.33 ± 0.05 μM). These structures may serve as leads for the design of new potent mono- and bi-functional inhibitors and pro-drugs against human GTSs.

- Broadening the catalyst and reaction scope of regio- and chemoselective C-H oxygenation: A convenient and scalable approach to 2-acylphenols by intriguing Rh(ii) and Ru(ii) catalysis
-
A unique Rh(ii) and Ru(ii) catalyzed C-H oxygenation of aryl ketones and other arenes has been developed for the facile synthesis of diverse functionalized phenols. The reaction demonstrates excellent reactivity, regio- and chemoselectivity, good functional group compatibility and high yields. The practicality of this method has been proved by gram-scale synthesis of a few different 2-acylphenols. Its utility has been well exemplified in further applications in heterocycle synthesis and direct modifications of drug Fenofibrate.

- Synthesis of ortho-acylphenols through the palladium-catalyzed ketone-directed hydroxylation of arenes
-
ortho-Acylphenols are an important structural motif found in a diversity of bioactive molecules ranging from natural products to drugs (Figure 1). Moreover, they also serve as versatile building blocks for the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, such as warfarin, as well as agrichemicals, flavors, and fragrances. Classic approaches to the synthesis of o-acylphenols generally involve a two-step process: acylation of phenols followed by Fries rearrangement of the resulting phenyl esters (Scheme 1a). On the other hand, direct C-acylation of phenols has also been known under more forcing conditions. Although effective, these approaches are often complicated by the formation of undesired p-substituted products when bulky acyl groups need to be introduced, as well as the limited variety of ketones that can be generated.

Regioselective substitution of xanthone and its nucleophilic cleavage allow the synthesis of C-3 ohydroxyaryl substituted 1, 2-benzisoxazoles or their V-oxides by cyclodehydration or oxidative cyclization of their corresponding ketoxime precursors, respectively. Molecular modeling analysis and 1H NMR spectra indicate an intramolecular H-bonding engaging phenol OH and the isoxazole ring N atom. The Japan Institute of Heterocyclic Chemistry.

- Xanthones in heterocyclic synthesis. An efficient and general route for the synthesis of regioselectively substituted phthalazines
-
Xanthone undergoes regioselective substitution and nucleophically - triggered ring opening to the corresponding ketone. Hydrazone of the latter oxidatively rearranges to ortho-diacylarenes, which, then, with hydrazine gives regioselectively substituted phthalazines. Molecular modeling analysis and 1HNMR spectra indicate an intramolecular H-bonding engaging phenol OH and phthalazine N-3 atom.

- Complete chiral induction from enantiopure 1,2-diamines to benzophenone-based achiral bisphosphane ligands in noyori-type RuII catalysts
-
We report the design and synthesis of a novel class of RuII catalysts (3) composed of achiral benzophenone-based bisphosphane ligands and enantiopure 1,2-diamines for the asymmetric hydrogenation of aryl ketones. The developed catalysts show excellent enantioselectivities (up to 97 % ee) and activities (up to S/C = 10,000) in the hydrogenation of a variety of aromatic ketones. Complete chiral induction from the enantiopure 1,2-diamine to the achiral bisphosphane ligand was observed. The coordination of the C=O moiety in 3 to the cationic RuII center is considered to be of key importance in providing a higher thermodynamic and kinetic rotation barrier for the flexible bisphosphane ligand, resulting in the preferential formation of only one diastereomer, and thus explaining the high enantioselectivity of the catalyst.
