Arynes derived from any position of the ubiquitous indole nucleus are unknown. We have now provided the first evidence for the formation and trapping of the 4,5-, 5,6-, and 6,7-indolynes. A series of o-dihalo indoles (Cl, Br, F) were synthesized and reacted under metal-halogen exchange conditions to give Diels-Alder cycloadducts in high yield with furan. The use of an excess of tert-butyllithium resulted in the rearrangement of the initially formed cycloadduct; however, employing only a slight excess of n-butyllithium cleanly gave cycloadducts with furan. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3,4-Dibromoaniline (cas: 615-55-4Reference of 615-55-4).

Iodine reagents have been identified as economically and ecol. benign alternatives to transition metals, although their application as mol. catalysts in challenging C-H oxidation reactions has remained elusive.

A variety of N-(selenomethyl)alkyl-phthalimides (alkyl = -(CH2)n, n = 2-5) and N-(selenobenzyl)propyl phthalimide were synthesized and their photochem. was studied at λ = 300 nm. Steady-state photolysis and laser time-resolved spectroscopy studies confirmed that these reactions proceeded by direct or acetone-sensitized excitation followed by intramol. electron transfer (ET) between Se atom and the phthalimide moiety. Two main pathways are possible after ET, proton transfer to the ketyl radical anion from the CH3Se+. or the -CH2Se+.– moieties, yielding the corresponding biradicals. Collapse of these biradicals yields cyclization products with the resp. endo or exo selenium-containing heterocycles. Competition between both proton transfer processes depends on the chain length of the alkyl spacer between the phthalimide and Se groups as well as the size of the cycle being formed.

Recent evidences highlight the usefulness of small mol. (Histone deacetylase 4) HDAC4 inhibitors in the several preclin. paradigms. Major toxicity and mutagenicity issues associated with hydroxamate HDAC inhibitors, stimulated us to develop potent non-hydroxamate inhibitors. In the present work a novel series of thiazolidinedione (TZD) derivatives with pyridine as cyclic linker and TZD ring as zinc binding group was designed and screened in a panel of isoenzymes of HDACs, wherein the most potent compounds exhibiting HDAC4 IC50-values<5 μM were 5 v, 5 w, 5 y and 5 z (IC50=4.2±1 μM, 0.75±0.03 μM, 4.9±0.5 and 2.3±0.5 μM, resp.). The docking studies displayed the unique binding mode of this series of compound at active site of HDAC4, wherein TZD ring was indicated as zinc binding group. Further, 5 w and 5 y were found as the most potent antiproliferative agent in lymphoblastic leukemia (CCRF-CEM) and breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells. Compound 5 y was found to induce the apoptosis and DNA fragmentation of CEM cells. The western blotting anal. of 5 y also showed the presence of cleaved caspases supporting their apoptotic nature. Further, Class IIa (HDAC4) selectivity of 5 y was also supported by western blotting observations, wherein 5 y caused the accumulation of acetylated H3 but not of acetylated Tubulin. Thus, our findings endorse the further investigation of this series of compounds for their potential as targeted cancer therapeutic agents.

Rare earth metal complexes of the proligand: H3TriNOx ([(2-tBuNOH)C6H3CH2]3N), have been shown to afford separations of simple mixtures of rare earth metal salts. In particular, separations systems were developed for applications to technol. relevant mixtures, e.g. Nd/Dy, and Eu/Y, for targeted, rare earths recycling chem. More recently, an electron-donating derivative of the proligand H3TriNOxR (([(2-tBuNOH)C6H3RCH2]3N); R = 5-OMe) influenced the electronic and phys. properties to effect improved separations To further probe substituent effects, in the current work, derivatives with electron-donating and -withdrawing groups along the aryl-backbone were synthesized (R = 4-tBu, 5-Ph, 4-CF3). The new proligands were coordinated to rare earths (RE) through protonolysis reactions and the resulting complexes (RE = Nd, Dy) were characterized. Dimerization equilibrium constants and molar solubility were determined where applicable. Overall, the studies indicated that increased electron-donation of the aryl-substituents resulted in an increased driving force for the dimerization of the Nd complexes. This dimerization equilibrium and resultant solubility differences were used to sep. mixtures of neodymium/dysprosium, as well as mixtures of europium/yttrium.

Operational simplicity, high yields, mild reaction conditions and short reaction times make this an attractive methodol. for accessing various functionalized anilines.
