An efficient and environmentally friendly one‐pot sequential synthesis of functionalized nordazepam and a benzimidazoquinazoline analogue is reported, utilizing cobalt as the metal catalyst. The reaction proceeds via either the α‐alkenylation or dehydrogenative sp3 C−H functionalization pathway. This transformation includes mild reaction conditions, operational simplicity, and good functional group tolerance. Additionally, this method is suitable for the gram‐scale synthesis of functionalized nordazepam and benzimidazoquinazoline compounds. Furthermore, the synthetic utility, photophysical properties and real‐life application of the synthesized derivatives were explored.

Rh(III)‐catalyzed spiro‐annulation of sulfoximines with maleimides leads to the diastereoselective synthesis of spirocyclic‐1,2‐benzisothiazole heterocycles is disclosed here. This strategy rapidly assembles five‐membered sulfur‐nitrogen‐containing spirocyclic molecules in one‐step. Moreover, the method is scalable and exhibits favourable diastereoselectivity, moderate functional group tolerance, and excellent site‐selectivity.

Despite the potential of non‐classical glucocorticoid response element (GRE)‐selective glucocorticoid receptor (GR) modulators in biomedical sciences, progress has not yet been made. In this study, we discovered a first‐in‐class chemical modulator that selectively suppresses the transcriptional activity of the GR in a gene with a non‐classical GRE, but not with classical GREs. The orexigenic agouti‐related peptide (Agrp)‐gene with a non‐classical GRE was chosen for this study. Similarity‐implemented virtual screening and rational modification of the structure of the initial hit compounds led to the identification of a pentacyclic natural triterpenoid, Zj7 (2‐O‐trans‐p‐coumaroylalphitolic acid). With this compound, we recently reported the verification of the orexigenic function and mechanism of action of GR in AgRP neurons. Herein, we describe the detailed discovery process leading to the identification of Zj7 and propose its molecular mode of action using molecular dynamics simulation.

To obtain solid‐state fluorescence sensors, it is essential to simultaneously obtain solid‐state emission and stimuli‐responsiveness. In this research, the modified polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) tethered with pyrenes was synthesized and we confirmed that both demands for developing solid‐state fluorescence sensors can be satisfied. The POSS derivative exhibited strong emission even in the solid state. In particular, we found that exposure of the POSS films to trifluoroacetic acid vapor resulted in a significant red‐shift of the peak wavelength of the emission band. Excitation spectroscopy and comparison with model compounds suggest that this significant red‐shift should be attributable to the formation of static excimer, meaning a preformed dimer in the ground state induced by protonation of the secondary amino groups. These results indicate that POSS is a promising scaffold for a solid‐state fluorescence sensor.

An efficient pathway to a new series of CF3‐substituted α‐amino acid derivatives decorated with pharmacophore isoquinolone and pyrimido[1,6‐a]indolone cores has been developed. The method includes Rh(III)‐catalyzed C−H activation/[4+2]‐annulation of N‐(pivaloyloxy)‐substituted aryl hydroxamates and indole‐1‐carboxamides with readily available allenyl‐containing α‐amino carboxylates and their phosphorus analogues. It was established that the reactions occur via Rh‐σ‐alkenyl intermediates to provide new C−C bond forming process with the participation of terminal carbon atom of allene moiety.

With Ag/g‐C3N4 semiconductor as the heterogeneous photocatalyst, the visible light promoted heterogeneous synthesis of unsymmetric diaryl chalcogenides could be achieved under additive‐free and mild conditions. A series of unsymmetric diaryl chalcogenides were generated in good to excellent yields with high functional group tolerance. The Ag/g‐C3N4 photocatalyst is easily recovered from the reaction mixture and reused at least 5 times, opening the way for larger‐scale industrial applications of this type of photocatalytic bond‐forming reactions.

The in situ‐generated 1‐naphthylmethyl radicals from the thermolysis of bis(1‐naphthylmethyl)tin dichlorides combine with persistent organic radicals, 4‐hydroxy‐TEMPO or 4‐oxo‐TEMPO designs C−O bond forming products. Subsequently, the C−N bond occurs when the 1‐naphthylmethyl radicals unite with nitric oxide (NO) under a nitrogen atmosphere. In contrast, the oxidation instead of the addition reaction predominantly happens in the 1‐naphthylmethyl radicals when nitrogen dioxide contains a high oxidation state nitrogen center, i. e., N(IV) used. The by‐product, dodecanuclear organotin cages, with twelve peripheral naphthyl units, could be isolated from the 4‐hydroxy‐TEMPO reaction. Besides, the synthesis of unsymmetrical diarylmethanes RArCH2 (R=1‐naphthyl, 2,4,6‐Me3C6H2, 3‐ and 4‐MeC6H4, phenyl, 4‐ClC6H4; Ar=4‐MeOC6H4, 3,4‐, 2,4‐ and 2,5‐Me2C6H3) in high yields and with good regioselectivity is reported. This new methodology involves the iodine‐mediated thermolysis of bis(arylmethyl)tin dichlorides (RCH2)2SnCl2 and an excess of an arene. This reaction involves homolytic cleavage of Sn−C bonds to give arylmethyl radicals that react with iodine in the presence of SnCl2 to give the corresponding cations, which undergo electrophilic attack on the arene. Functionalised diarylmethanes have wide applications in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and materials sciences. Alternative synthetic approaches to this class of organic compounds that avoid using a transition‐metal catalyst or a strong Lewis acid are desirable.

We developed a novel method for the synthesis of 2‐substituted‐4,5‐dihydrothiazol‐4‐ols compounds through cyclization of thioamides and 1,4‐dithiane‐2,5‐diol in the presence of Et3N. Stable hydroxy‐substituted thiazole compounds were isolated of substituted thioamides. The reaction conditions are simple, the substrate range is wide, and the target compounds were obtained in up to 82 % yield.

An efficient, practical, and scalable Cs2CO3‐catalyzed [4+2] annulation reaction between ynones and acetates is presented, wherein ynones serve as the four‐atom annulation partners. This methodology facilitates the synthesis of substituted 2‐pyrones with yields ranging from good to excellent. The ready availability of the starting materials, coupled with the simplicity of the annulation protocol, renders this approach highly amenable to the preparation of a diverse range of 2‐pyrones. Furthermore, the feasibility of the reaction on a gram scale and its application in the synthesis of a potent and selective cyclooxygenase‐2 inhibitor underscore the practical significance and utility of this method.
