An operationally simple cascade reaction has been developed to tailor a myriad number of pyrroloacridine derivatives using one-pot condensation of dimedone, amine, and isatin in toluene solvent. After a series of trials with various small organic compounds, nicotinic acid was selected as an effective catalyst for this one-pot reaction. Furthermore, by a simple test-tube experiment, the C(sp3)-H in compound 4 underwent a clean aerial oxidation to > CO under the exposure of sunlight.

Palladium-catalyzed asymmetric arylation of α-2-nitrophenylsulfenylimino acetamide has been developed for the synthesis of arylglycine-containing peptides. The addition of a weakly coordinating anion is essential for the progress of this reaction. The protecting group of the arylated product is readily removed, and the resulting free amine undergoes N-terminal extension without racemization.

The 1,6-hydrotrichloromethylation of para-quinone methides (p-QMs) with BrCCl3 is developed in a photoinduced condition, generating diverse α,α′-diarylated trichloroethanes smoothly with a broad substrate scope in moderate to good yields. Mechanistic study showed that an oxidative quenching cycle was operative under visible light irradiation. Initially, the trichloromethyl radical was generated in situ from BrCCl3 through single-electron transfer (SET) in the presence of blue light, and the subsequent radical 1,6-hydrotrichloromethylation of p-QMs was involved. In addition, several α,α′-diarylated tribromoethanes were obtained by using CBr4 to replace BrCCl3 under standard conditions enabled a similar process.

Marine fungi hold immense research significance, acting as a treasure trove capable of generating complex chemical architectures and a diverse array of biologically active secondary metabolites. Talaromyces sp.6B3 was isolated from marine, and six compounds were extracted from its fermentation broth. Structural characterization of these compounds was accomplished using NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and circular dichroism spectroscopic analyses. Compounds 1–5 are novel entities within this series, whereas compounds 1, 2, and 6 are classified as furanone derivatives. Compounds 1 and 4 demonstrated inhibitory activity against Staphylococcus aureus, with a MIC of 25 μg/mL. Compound 1 exhibited a modest inhibitory effect against both A549 and H460 cancer cell, whereas compound 4 demonstrated a modest inhibitory effect against the H460 cell.

Direct α-amino C–H bond alkylation protocol holds paramount importance in the synthetic chemistry. Herein, we develope a metal-free and visible-light-induced α-C(sp3)−C(sp3) aminoalkylation of biologically important, dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-one moieties. The key to the success is formed the photoactivated electron donor-acceptor complex between quinoxalin-2(1H)-ones and tertiary amines, which undergo subsequent single-electron transfer to effect the desired C3 α-aminoalkylated dihydroquinoxalin-2(1H)-ones. This strategy offers efficient advancements to mild reaction conditions and high atom economy. In vitro antitumor studies, complex 3m participates on the apoptosis of human gastric adenocarcinoma cells, increasing to 29.4 % (30 μM).

A novel dual-target colorimetric and fluorescent chemosensor (NSN), incorporating a triphenylamine core, was developed for the simultaneous detection of Cu2+ and Ag + ions. NSN exhibited outstanding specificity and selectivity toward both analytes, with remarkably low detection limits (LODs) of 25.8 nM for Cu2+ and 51.3 nM for Ag+. Upon complexation with either metal ion, NSN underwent a rapid (<1 min) color change accompanied by pronounced fluorescence quenching, attributed to a chelation-enhanced quenching (CHEQ) effect. Theoretical calculations combined with experimental studies revealed a 1:1 binding stoichiometry of NSN to both Cu2+ and Ag + through nitrogen coordination. Reversibility assays using Ag+ and S2O32− not only demonstrated the chemical reversibility of the sensing process but also enabled the differentiation between Cu2+ and Ag+. Furthermore, NSN achieved high recovery rates in spiked real water samples, underscoring its practical applicability. Notably, NSN-functionalized test strips provided precise, rapid and naked-eye detection of Cu2+/Ag+ ions in complex environmental settings.

Naphthoxazole is a polycyclic heteroaromatic scaffold commonly found in bioactive molecules and natural products. However, effective and straightforward approaches to 2-amino substituted naphthoxazole remain challenging. We report here base-promoted cyclization of 1-nitroso-2-naphthol with isothiocyanates as a novel strategy for construction of 2-amino-substituted naphtho[1,2-d][1,3]oxazoles. The described method features short reaction time, the ability to scale up to gram-scale, good functional group tolerance, and readily available starting materials.

Nine novel limonoids, ciliatones M−U (1, 3–9, and 11), and two known analogues (2 and 10) were isolated from the branches and leaves of Toona ciliata M. Roem (Meliaceae). Their structures were elucidated through comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis combined with quantum chemistry calculations of NMR and ECD. Notably, compound 1 was the first limonoid found to possess a 14,15-dihydroxy motif, whereas a 14,15-epoxy group was more commonly encountered at this position; meanwhile, compounds 3–5 were characterized by a rare 8,14-epoxy bridge. Bioassessment revealed that compound 10 exhibited modest inhibitory activity against NO production in RAW264.7 cells, with an IC50 value of 33 μM. Western blot analysis indicated that compound 10 inhibited the phosphorylation of key proteins in the AKT/ERK/JNK signaling pathway.

A novel Cu(OAc)2-catalyzed tandem cyclization/addition strategy has been developed for the synthesis of pyrazoline substituted oxime ethers from β,γ-unsaturated hydrazones and oximes using K2S2O8 as an oxidant and NaHCO3 as a base has been achieved. The reaction demonstrates broad substrate scope, tolerating aryl, heteroaryl, alkyl, and sulfonyl substituents on both hydrazones and oximes, and provides the products in up to 78 % yield. Mechanistic studies suggest the involvement of both energy transfer and single electron transfer processes in accomplishing the radical 5-exo-trig cyclization to the CN bond. Furthermore, scale-up experiment was also enabled.

A novel synergistic photoredox/palladium catalytic system has been developed for the visible light-induced decarboxylative benzoylation of arylpyridines using α-oxocarboxylic acids. This method proceeds efficiently at ambient temperature under aerobic conditions, employing Eosin Y as the photocatalyst, a Pd(II) complex as the transition metal catalyst, and K2S2O8 as the oxidant. A broad substrate scope, encompassing electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups as well as diverse heterocyclic acids, afforded the corresponding benzoyl-substituted heteroarenes in moderate to good yields. This protocol offers an economical, mild, and sustainable strategy for the synthesis of valuable aromatic ketones, thereby advancing the field of dual photoredox/palladium catalysis.
