RESUMO
This study focuses on the design, eco-friendly synthesis, and characterization of several novel three-legged triphenylamine derivatives. By performing Sonogashira couplings of functionalized aryl iodides with tris(4-ethynylphenyl)amine in glycerol, a readily available bio-derived solvent, we achieved the synthesis of target products in short times and high yields, up to 94%, with consistently lower E-factors and reduced costs compared to standard conditions using toluene as the reaction medium. The target molecules possess a D-(π-A)3 or D-(π-D)3 structure, where an electron-donating core connects to three electron-donating (D) or electron-accepting (A) peripheral aromatic subunits through an acetylene spacer. Their main optical and electronic properties have been determined experimentally and by DFT simulations and suggest a possible implementation in energy conversion technologies such as luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs).
RESUMO
For multicenter-catalyzed reactions, it is important to accurately construct heterogeneous catalysts containing multiple active centers with high activity and low cost, which is more challenging compared to homogeneous catalysts because of the low activity and spatial confinement of active centers in the loaded state. Herein, a convenient protein confinement strategy is reported to locate Pd and Cu single atoms in crowding state on carbon coated alumina for promoting Sonogashira reaction, the most powerful method for constructing the acetylenic moiety in molecules. The single-atomic Pd and Cu centers take advantage in not only the maximized atomic utilization for low cost, but also the much-enhanced performance by facilitating the activation of aryl halides and alkynes. Their locally crowded dispersion brings them closer to each other, which facilitates the transmetallation process of acetylide intermediates between them. Thus, the Sonogashira reaction is drove smoothly by the obtained catalyst with a turnover frequency value of 313 h-1, much more efficiently than that by commercial Pd/C and CuI catalyst, conventional Pd and Cu nanocatalysts, and mixed Pd and Cu single-atom catalyst. The obtained catalyst also exhibits the outstanding durability in the recycling test.
RESUMO
In the frame of our diversity-oriented research on multitarget small molecule anticancer agents, utilizing convergent synthetic sequences terminated by Sonogashira coupling reactions, a preliminary selection of representative alkyne-tethered vindoline hybrids was synthesized. The novel hybrids with additional pharmacophoric fragments of well-documented anticancer agents, including FDA-approved tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (imatinib and erlotinib) or ferrocene or chalcone units, were evaluated for their antiproliferative activity on malignant cell lines MDA-MB-231 (triple negative breast cancer), A2780 (ovarian cancer), HeLa (human cervical cancer), and SH-SY5Y (neuroblastoma) as well as on human embryonal lung fibroblast cell line MRC-5, which served as a reference non-malignant cell line for the assessment of the therapeutic window of the tested hybrids. The biological assays identified a trimethoxyphenyl-containing chalcone-vindoline hybrid (36) as a promising lead compound exhibiting submicromolar activity on A2780 cells with a marked therapeutic window.

In this study, the design and asymmetric synthesis of a series of chiral targets of orientational chirality were conducted by taking advantage of N-sulfinylimine-assisted nucleophilic addition and modified Sonogashira catalytic coupling systems. Orientational isomers were controlled completely using alkynyl/alkynyl levers [C(sp)-C(sp) axis] with absolute configuration assignment determined by X-ray structural analysis. The key structural element of the resulting orientational chirality is uniquely characterized by remote through-space blocking. Forty examples of multi-step synthesis were performed, with modest to good yields and excellent orientational selectivity. Several chiral orientational amino targets are attached with scaffolds of natural and medicinal products, showing potential pharmaceutical and medical applications in the future.
RESUMO
A nano-structured conjugated polymer with multiple micro-/meso-pores was synthesized by post-crosslinking of an end-functionalized hyperbranched conjugated prepolymer. Firstly, an AB2 monomer 3-((3,5-dibromo-4-(octyloxy)phenyl)ethynyl)-6-ethynyl-9-octyl-9H-carbazole (PECz) was synthesized and polymerized by Sonogashira reaction to give the -Br end-functionalized hyperbranched conjugated prepolymer hb-PPECz. The photophysical and electrochemical properties of hb-PPECz were investigated. The λmax of absorption and emission of hb-PPECz in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution was 313 and 483 nm, respectively. The optical energy bandgap, highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO), and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy levels of hb-PPECz were 2.98, -5.81, and -2.83 eV, respectively. Then, the prepolymer hb-PPECz was post-crosslinked by Heck reaction with divinylbenzene to give the porous conjugated polymer c-PPECz. The effects of hb-PPECz concentration and added dispersant polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP K-30) on the morphology and porosity of c-PPECz were investigated. The resulting c-PPECzs showed multiple porous structures mainly constructed by micropores and mesopores. Under a higher hb-PPECz concentration (4 wt/v%), a bulky gel product was obtained. Under lower hb-PPECz concentrations (0.6 wt/v%~2 wt/v%), the resulting c-PPECzs were mainly composed of nano-sized particles. Nearly spheric nanoparticles (200~300 nm) (c-PPECz-5) were obtained under the concentration of 1 wt/v% in the presence of PVP (10 wt% of hb-PPECz). The Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface area, pore volume, average pore size, and percentage of pore size below 10 nm of c-PPECz-5 were 10.7781 m2·g-1, 0.0108 cm3·g-1, 4.0081 nm, and 94.47%, respectively.
RESUMO
Palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions are versatile and powerful tools for the construction of carbon-carbon bonds in organic synthesis. Although these reactions have favorable features that proceed selectively in mild reaction conditions using aqueous organic solvents, no attention has been given to their application in the field of biomedical analysis. Therefore, we focused on these reactions and evaluated the scope and limitations of their analytical performance. In this review, we describe the pros and cons and future trends of fluorescence derivatization of pharmaceuticals and biomolecules based on palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions such as Suzuki-Miyaura coupling, Mizoroki-Heck coupling, and Sonogashira coupling reactions for HPLC analysis.

New chiral targets of orientational chirality have been designed and asymmetrically synthesized by taking advantage of N-sulfinyl imine-directed nucleophilic addition/oxidation, Suzuki-Miyaura, and Sonogashira cross-coupling reactions. Orientation of single isomers has been selectively controlled by using aryl/alkynyl levers [C(sp2)-C(sp) axis] and tBuSO2- protecting group on nitrogen as proven by X-ray diffraction analysis. The key structural characteristic of resulting orientational products is shown by remote through-space blocking manner. Seventeen examples of multi-step synthesis were obtained with modest to good chemical yields and complete orientational selectivity.
RESUMO
Stable palladium (II) complexes, incorporating a double (N-benzoylthiourea) arrangement bonded to a complex heterocyclic scaffold, are used as precursors of catalytic species able to promote Suzuki-Miyaura, Mizoroki-Heck, Hiyama, Buchwald-Hartwig, Hirao and Sonogashira-Hagihara cross-coupling transformations in water. These sustainable processes are chemoselective and very versatile. The nanoparticles responsible for these catalytic reactions were analyzed and studied. Their usefulness is demonstrated after several tests and analyses. The heterogeneous character of this species in water was also confirmed.
RESUMO
A Sonogashira coupling of meta-iodocalix[4]arene with various terminal acetylenes confirmed that the meta position of calixarene is well addressable, and that both thermal and microwave protocols led to good yields of alkynylcalixarenes. Alkynes thus obtained were subjected to the ferric chloride and diphenyl diselenide-promoted electrophilic closure. It turns out that the calix[4]arenes give completely different bridging products than those described for the non-macrocyclic starting compounds. This can be demonstrated not only by the isolation of products with a six-membered ring (6-exo-dig), but mainly by the smooth formation of the 5-endo-dig cyclization, which has never been observed in the aliphatic series. An attempt at electrocyclization led to a high yield of the 1,2-diketone (oxidation of the starting alkyne), again in contrast to the reaction described for the acyclic derivatives. The structures of the unexpected products were unequivocally established by X-ray analysis and clearly demonstrate how the preorganized macrocyclic skeleton favors a completely different regioselectivity of cyclization reactions compared to common aliphatic compounds.
RESUMO
N-Pyrazolylcarboxamides and N-pyrazolylureas represent promising lead compounds for the development of novel antileishmanial drugs. Herein, we report the late-stage diversification of 3-bromopyrazoles 10 A/B and 14 A by Pd-catalyzed Sonogashira and Suzuki-Miyaura cross coupling reactions. The electron-withdrawing properties of the cyano moiety in 4-position of the pyrazole ring limited the acylation of the primary amino moiety in 5-position. A large set of pyrazoles bearing diverse aryl and alkynyl substituents in 3-position was prepared and the antileishmanial and antitrypanosomal activity was recorded. The urea 38 lacking the electron withdrawing cyano moiety in 4-position and containing the large 4-benzylpiperidinoo moiety exhibited a modest antileishmanial (IC50=19â µM) and antitrypanosomal activity (IC50=7.9â µM)). However, its considerable toxicity against the PMM and MRC-5 cells indicates low selectivity, i. e. a small gap between the desired antiparasitic activity and undesired cytotoxicity of <2- to 4-fold.

Sample pretreatment is an essential step in chromatographic analysis. Solid phase extraction (SPE) is a widely used sample pretreatment method. In SPE, the quality of the adsorbent directly affects the adsorption and enrichment efficiency of the target compounds as well as the sensitivity and selectivity of the pretreatment and subsequent analysis. Therefore, the selection and development of adsorbents has become a research hotspot. Microporous organic networks (MONs) are a novel type of covalent organic materials that are synthesized by the Sonogashira reaction of aromatic alkynes and aromatic halides. These networks have the advantages of modifiable structures, large specific surface areas, high porosity, and simple synthesis methods. This paper reviews the synthesis and functional modification methods of MONs, with an emphasis on their applications in sample pretreatment. Future development trends are also prospected. In terms of synthesis, the preparation methods for MON-based materials have progressed from reflux and solvothermal synthesis to room-temperature synthesis, the conditions of which tend to be milder and more efficient. In terms of functional modification, the introduction of macromolecules and active groups (including amino, hydroxyl, and carboxylic groups) can increase the selectivity and active sites of MON-based materials. The combination of MONs with Fe3O4, SiO2, and metal organic frameworks yields core-shell-structured MONs. Furtherly, they can be calcined and etched to form porous carbon structures or hollow multilayer materials. Functionalized MONs and their composite materials have multiple interaction mechanisms (e. g., hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic, electrostatic, and π-π interactions) with various target compounds, thereby realizing their efficient extraction. MONs can be used as adsorbent materials in SPE, Solid phase microextraction, dispersed solid phase extraction, magnetic solid phase extraction, and other pretreatment methods. When combined with chromatography and chromatography-mass spectrometry, MONs achieve good adsorption effects and high sensitivity, demonstrating the application potential of these materials in sample pretreatment.
RESUMO
Despite the success of Sonogashira coupling for the synthesis of arylalkynes and conjugated enynes, the engagement of unactivated alkyl halides in such reactions remains historically challenging. We report herein a strategy that merges Cu-catalyzed alkyne transfer with the aryl radical activation of carbon-halide bonds to enable a general approach for the coupling of alkyl iodides with terminal alkynes. This unprecedented Sonogashira-type cross-coupling reaction tolerates a broad range of functional groups and has been applied to the late-stage cross-coupling of densely functionalized pharmaceutical agents as well as the synthesis of positron emission tomography tracers.
RESUMO
Proteins represent powerful biomacromolecules due to their unique functionality and broad utility both in the cell and in non-biological applications. The genetic encoding of non-canonical amino acids (ncAAs) facilitates functional diversification of these already powerful proteins. Specifically, ncAAs have been demonstrated to provide unique functional handles to bioorthogonally introduce novel functionality via conjugation reactions. Herein we examine the ability of a single ncAA to serve as a handle to generate multivalent bioconjugates to introduce two or more additional components to a protein, yielding a multivalent conjugate. To accomplish this aim, p-bromopropargyloxyphenyalanine (pBrPrF) was genetically encoded into both superfolder green fluorescent protein (sfGFP) and ubiquitin model proteins to serve as a conjugation handle. A sequential bioconjugation sequence involving a copper-assisted cycloaddition reaction coupled with a subsequent Sonogashira cross-coupling was then optimized. The linkage of two additional molecules to the model protein via these reactions yielded the desired multivalent bioconjugate. This domino approach using a single ncAA has a plethora of applications in both therapeutics and diagnostics as multiple unique moieties can be introduced into proteins in a highly controlled fashion.

RESUMO
A design toward C-C bonded 2,6-bis(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-9H-purine and 2-piperidinyl-6-(1H-1,2,3-triazol-4-yl)-9H-purine derivatives was established using the combination of Mitsunobu, Sonogashira, copper (I) catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition, and SNAr reactions. 11 examples of 2,6-bistriazolylpurine and 14 examples of 2-piperidinyl-6-triazolylpurine intermediates were obtained, in 38-86% and 41-89% yields, respectively. Obtained triazole-purine conjugates expressed good fluorescent properties which were studied in the solution and in the thin layer film for the first time. Quantum yields reached up to 49% in DMSO for bistriazolylpurines and up to 81% in DCM and up to 95% in DMSO for monotriazolylpurines. Performed biological studies in mouse embryo fibroblast, human keratinocyte, and transgenic adenocarcinoma of the mouse prostate cell lines showed that most of obtained triazole-purine conjugates are not cytotoxic. The 50% cytotoxic concentration of the tested derivatives was in the range from 59.6 to 1528.7 µM.
RESUMO
Phosphino hydrazones represent a versatile class of nitrogen-containing phosphine ligands. Herein, we report a modular synthesis of phosphino hydrazone ligands by hydrazone condensation reaction of three different aryl hydrazines with 3-(diphenylphosphino)propanal (PCHO). Complexation reactions of these phosphino hydrazone ligands with palladium(II) and platinum(II) were investigated and the catalytic activity of the palladium(II) complexes was explored in a Cu-free Sonogashira cross-coupling reaction achieving yields up to 96 %. Additionally it was shown that the catalytically active species is homogeneous.
RESUMO
Diterpenoid alkaloids, originating from the amination of natural tetracyclic diterpenes, have long interested scientists due to their medicinal uses and infamous toxicity which has limited the clinical application of the native compound. Alkaloid lappaconitine extracted from various Aconitum and Delphinium species has displayed extensive bioactivities and active ongoing research to reduce its adverse effects. A convenient route to construct hybrid molecules containing diterpenoid alkaloid lappaconitine and 3H-1,5-benzodiazepine fragments was proposed. The key stage involved the formation of 5'-alkynone-lappaconitines in situ by acyl Sonogashira coupling of 5'-ethynyllappaconitine, followed by cyclocondensation with o-phenylenediamine. New hybrid compounds showed low toxicity and outstanding analgesic activity in experimental pain models, which depended on the nature of the substituent in the benzodiazepine nucleus. An analogous dependence was also shown for the antiarrhythmic activity in the epinephrine arrhythmia test in vivo. Studies on the isolated atrium have shown that the mechanism of action of the new compounds is included the blockade of beta-adrenergic receptors and potassium channels. Molecular docking analysis was conducted to determine the binding potential of target molecules with the voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.5. All obtained results provide a basis for future rational modifications of lappaconitine, reducing side effects, while retaining its therapeutic effects.

A series of mono-functionalized aromatic 22π telluradithiasapphyrins containing functional groups such as p-bromophenyl, p-iodophenyl, p-nitrophenyl and p-trimethylsilylethynyl phenyl groups at one of the meso-positions were synthesized by condensing appropriately functionalized unsymmetrical bithiophene diol and 16-telluratripyrrane in CH2 Cl2 under acid-catalyzed conditions. To demonstrate the reactivity of mono-functionalized telluradithiasapphyrins, we synthesized the first examples of covalently linked diphenyl ethyne bridged four novel 18π porphyrin/metalloporphrin-22π telluradithiasapphyrin dyads by coupling meso-ethynyl phenyl porphyrin with telluradithiasapphyrin containing meso-iodophenyl group under Pd(0) coupling conditions followed by metalation of porphyrin unit by treating free base dyad with appropriate metal salts. The dyads were characterized and studied by mass, 1D & 2D NMR, absorption, cyclic voltammetry, fluorescence and DFT techniques. The DFT analysis showed that the porphyrin/metalloporphyrin and sapphyrin units in dyads orient with each other in different angles and Zn(II) porphyrin-sapphyrin dyad (Zn-dyad) showed minimum whereas the free base dyad showed maximum angle of deviation. NMR, absorption, and redox studies indicated that the dyads exhibit the overlapping features of their constituted monomers and maintain their individual characteristic features. The steady-state fluorescence studies revealed that the fluorescence of the porphyrin/metalloporphyrin unit was significantly quenched due to possible energy/electron transfer from the porphyrin/metalloporphyrin unit to non-emissive sapphyrin unit in dyads.
RESUMO
DNA-Encoded Libraries (DELs) are becoming widely established as a hit identification strategy for drug discovery campaigns. Their successful application relies on the availability and efficiency of the reactions that can be carried out on DNA. These reactions should proceed with high conversion to the desired product and have a broad substrate scope to synthesise chemically diverse and drug-like DELs. The Sonogashira coupling provides a unique means of coupling an sp-hybridized carbon centre to an aryl halide and methods to achieve this reaction on DNA are highly desirable. We report the application of our micellar technology for on-DNA chemistry to the Sonogashira reaction. This method gives highly efficient conversions for the coupling of (hetero)aromatic and aliphatic alkynes to (hetero)aryl iodides and bromides allowing the preparation of highly diverse DELs.

A new C3 -symmetric tris-imidazolium tribromide salt 3, featuring 1,3,5-substituted triethynylbenzene, was used for the preparation of a trinuclear PdII pyridine-enhanced precatalyst preparation stabilization and initiation-type (PEPPSI) complex by triple C2 deprotonation followed by the addition of PdCl2 . Trinuclear PdII complex possessing a combination of NHC and PPh3 ligands has also been synthesized. The corresponding mononuclear palladium(II) complexes have also been synthesized for the comparison purpose. All these complexes have been characterized by using NMR spectroscopy and ESI mass spectrometry. The molecular structure of the trinuclear palladium(II) complex bearing mixed carbene and pyridine donor ligands has been established by using single crystal XRD. All the palladium(II) complexes have been used as pre-catalysts, which gave good to excellent yields in intermolecular α-arylation of 1-methyl-2-oxindole and Sonogashira coupling reaction. Catalytic studies indicate an enhanced activity of the trinuclear PdII complex in comparison to the corresponding mononuclear PdII complex for both catalytic transformations. The better performance of the trinuclear complex has also been further supported by preliminary electrochemical measurements. A negative mercury poison test was observed for both the aforementioned catalyses and therefore, it is likely that these organic transformations proceed homogeneously.
