Beckmann rearrangement, a classical reaction of introducing nitrogen to carbon skeleton compounds for amide synthesis, is widely used in academia and industry. Herein, an electrochemical Beckmann rearrangement is reported, utilizing 2,3-dichloro-5,6-dicyano-1,4-benzoquinone (DDQ) as a mediator to prevent the over-electro-oxidation of products, which could afford amide in excellent yield.

An approach towards the synthesis of novel isosteres of benzonaphthyridines and benzonaphthonaphthyridines from the condensation reaction between 4-chloro-2-methylquinolines/4-chloro-2-methylbenzo[h]quinoline and appropriate o-amino aromatic and heteroaromatic carboxylic acids by using solvent (ethanol)/solvent free (neat) condition to yield the intermediate followed by the cyclization with PPA. The intermediate yield has been slightly increased in neat (solvent-free) conditions compared to solvent conditions. Further, the target isosteres of benzonaphthyridines and benzonaphthonaphthyridines were achieved in the one-pot synthesis using a CuI catalyst with a higher yield than the stepwise method. Quantum chemical calculations of synthesized compounds are performed by using M06-2X with 6-311+G(d,p) basis set in water, DFT calculations of the molecular electrostatic potential (MEP), frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), and the optimized geometry of the XRD values are compared with experimental values. All the synthesized novel isosteres molecules are investigated under molecular docking studies using MMP1 and MMP2 proteins, which showed all the molecules have the potential to heal pancreatic cancer. The most potent molecules among them are 3i and 3h due to their better docking scores. Furthermore, the molecules' pharmacokinetic (ADME) parameters have been observed to be effective in future biological evaluations of these compounds to be active.

Heavy metal pollutants, such as Pb2+ ions, pose a substantial hazard to human health and ecosystems, and it was of great significance to develop cost-effective and portable techniques for online and visual detection of Pb2+. Herein, we fabricated a novel chromogenic and fluorogenic dual-channel sensor NQA through a Schiff base reaction involving a dicyanoisophorone derivative and isoniazid, enabling effective detection of Pb2+ ions. Upon complexation with Pb2+ ions at a 1:1 M ratio, the fluorescence intensity of NQA exhibited a remarkable enhancement. The naked-eye colorimetric detection utilizing NQA demonstrated a distinct color change to specific Pb2+ ions concentration from yellow to light pink. Based on this principle, a smartphone-assisted sensing platform was developed for visual and high-quality identification of Pb2+ in real samples. The UV binding constant for Pb2+ ions was determined to be 1.84 × 105 M−1, with a detection limit of 0.38 μM. Furthermore, the versatility of NQA extended to applications in naked-eye test paper experiments, the detection of Pb2+ ions in real water samples and living cells, showcasing its potential for environmental and biological monitoring.

An electrochemical decarbonylation of DMF to achieve N,N-dimethyl amino radical and denitrification of sulfonyl hydrazide to achieve sulfonyl radical in the absence of transition metal and additional oxidant was reported here. Signifyingly, cross-coupling reaction rather than homocoupling reactions completely prevail in competition to obtain sulfonamides, which usually exist as skeletons of pharmaceuticals. This work provides a new method for cracking DMF into N,N-dimethylamino radical, and found a value-added application of this industrialized bulk chemical to the synthesis of sulfonamides.

Hydrazone derivatives were synthesized in a three-step process starting from diosgenin and then tested for their anabolic activity. Through in silico analysis, we identified proteins associated with muscle growth to elucidate the plausible mechanisms and interactions between these compounds and the active site amino acids, thereby providing a rationale for the observed biological results. The results of the in vitro assay on the human skeletal muscle cell line showed an increase in the number of viable cells, which was determined using increasing concentrations of each compound through the XTT assay. Additionally, the increase in protein concentration was measured using the Bradford method. The experimental evaluation revealed that all compounds have differences in increased protein/cell percentage compared to the control and testosterone, which suggests a hyperplastic/hypertrophic effect with a normal morphology.

Transition metal catalyzed direct olefination of alkyl heteroarenes with alcohols using acceptorless dehydrogenative coupling (ADC) reactions and aerobic oxidative olefination are effective, versatile transformations for the construction of alkenyl heterocyclic compounds. Various transition metal catalysts based on noble metals (Ru) and their earth-abundant equivalents (Mn, Ni, Fe, Co) have been employed for these protocols. Water and hydrogen are the only byproducts and the starting alcohols are less toxic, more readily available, more easily handled and more atom economical than their halogen counterparts. This review details recent advances in these green methodologies, describing scope, reaction mechanisms, chemo-selectivity and applications in synthesis.

We report the synthesis of a new series of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogues as possible GABA-AT inhibitors, where the nitrogen at the Ƴ-position is contained in a 1,5-disubstituted-1,2,3-triazole ring system. The triazole ring system was assembled by the Ru(I)-catalyzed alkyne-azide 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition (RuACC) protocol. GABA-AT inhibition activity was predicted by means of a QSAR model that was constructed in this work. Different molecular descriptors families were employed for its construction, like steric type ( and ), solubility type (), and electronic type (). Additionally, a similarity analysis based on the electronic profile of 1,5-triazole and 1,4-triazole GABA analogues was done to support the QSAR predictions. Finally, the three best candidates were biologically tested as Pseudomonas fluorescens GABA-AT inhibitors showing an inhibition percent compared to FDA approved inhibitors.

One-pot synthesis of isoindoloindonoles having various auxochrome, from easily available starting materials phthalaldehyde and o-aminochalcone, involving palladium(II) acetate catalysis in acetic acid is reported. A mechanism based on the formation of 2-aryl-2H-isoindol-1-ol (22) intermediate is proposed for the formation of the tetracyclic core of isoindoloindonoles. The possible intramolecular cyclization via the direct participation of the carbonyl vs the adjacent αβ-conjugated double bond was evaluated. Thus, a detailed study on how the presence of electronically different groups at the β position of chalcones affects the outcome of the cyclization reaction and the photophysical properties of the resulting isoindoloindolones is presented here. Furthermore, the core structure was determined using NMR, mass and single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis.

Visible-light-mediated metal-free cyclopropanation reaction of diazo compounds with different olefins or arenes have been fully developed in recent years. However, electron-deficient olefins still could not be well tolerated in these reactions. Here, by using 3-diazooxindole as the carbene precursor, the visible-light-mediated cyclopropanation reaction of diazo compounds with electron-deficient olefins was successfully developed. The electron-rich olefins were also well tolerated in the reactions. A series of spirocyclopropyloxindoles were synthesized in moderate to high yields under mild, metal-free conditions. Mechanism studies reveal that both singlet and triplet carbenes are probably involved in the reaction.
