RESUMO
Difluoromethylated compounds usually act as bioisosteres for alcohol functional groups and show unique physicochemical and biological properties. The cyano-difluoromethylation of alkenes using 5-((difluoromethyl)sulfonyl)-1-phenyl-1H-tetrazole as a CF2H radical difluoromethyl precursor was developed to afford nitriles including a CF2H group. A low-cost, stable, easily handled 5-((difluoromethyl)sulfonyl)-1-methyl-1H-tetrazole (DFSMT) was synthesized and applied as the radical CF2H reagent. Using DFSMT as the radical CF2H precursor, the oxyl-difluoromethylation of alkenes was developed to obtain difluoromethylated ether products. All of the reactions showed good functional group tolerability. Initial mechanistic experiments indicated that the CF2H radical was involved as the key active intermediate.
RESUMO
Herein, a versatile highly regioselective three-component annulation of simple aromatic ketones and methylamines using a hypervalent iodine reagent for polyarylated 1-pyrrolines has been described in good to excellent yields. Meanwhile, unsymmetrical 1-pyrroline isomers could be realized and synthesized. Such an intriguing one-pot two-step tandem assembly strategy with green conditions and high regioselectivity shows predictable inspiration in related annulation reactions.
RESUMO
Herein, we disclose a practical and simple procedure to synthesize 2-aminobenzoxaoles. Simple anilines and formamides were used as substrates. The C-H bond ortho to the amino group in the anilines was directly functionalized under cobalt-catalyzed conditions with high levels of functional group tolerance. Hypervalent iodine(III) was both an oxidant and a Lewis acid for this reaction. The mechanism study showed that this transformation may involve a radical process.

This approach features easily available starting materials, transition metal-free conditions, good functional group tolerance and operational simplicity.
RESUMO

This approach features transition metal-free conditions, good functional group tolerance and operational simplicity.

Hesperetin is a class of natural products with a wide range of sources and remarkable biological activities. In this study, we described the synthesis of a series of novel hesperetin derivatives and evaluated the in vitro antioxidant and antitumor activity of these compounds. Eleven novel compounds were synthesized in moderate yields. The compounds synthesized in this work exhibited antioxidant activities against DPPH and ABTS free radicals in a dose-dependent manner. Among them, compound 3f had the best antioxidant activity, with IC50 of 1.2 µM and 24 µM for DPPH and ABTS, respectively. The antitumor activity of the compounds against human cancer cell lines, such as breast MCF-7, liver HepG2, and cervical Hela, was determined by a standard 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Three compounds had moderate IC50 values. Interestingly, compound 3f had better biological activity than hesperetin, which matches the prediction by Maestro from Schrödinger. Therefore, the new hesperidin derivative is a promising drug for the treatment of cancer due to its effective antitumor activity. The results also suggested that the antitumor activities of hesperetin derivatives may be related to their antioxidant activities.

A novel catalyst-free radical oxidative C-H annulation reaction of arylamines with α-keto acids toward benzoxazin-2-ones synthesis under mild conditions was developed. This hypervalent iodine(III)-promoted process eliminated the use of a metal catalyst or additive with high levels of functional group tolerance. Hypervalent iodine(III) was both an oxidant and a radical initiator for this reaction. The synthetic utility of this method was confirmed by the synthesis of the natural product cephalandole A.

A metal-free three-component annulation reaction for the synthesis of indolizine thiones via tandem C-C/C-N/C-S bond formation was developed.

RESUMO
A catalyst and additive-free annulation of 2-pyridylacetates and ynals under molecular oxygen was the first developed, affording 3-acylated indolizines in good to excellent yields. Molecular oxygen was used as the source of the carbonyl oxygen atom in indolizines. This approach was compatible with a wide range of functional groups, and especially it has been successfully extended to unsaturated double bonds and triple bonds, which were difficult to prepare by previous methods in a single step.

Water is used as the source of the carbonyl oxygen atom in pyridyl benzamides. Furthermore, 2-substituted oxazolo[4,5-b]pyridines are formed in good yields under the standard conditions when 2-aminopyridin-3-ols are used as the substrates.

The reaction proceeds smoothly with a broad range of substrates to give imidazoles in good yields.
RESUMO
A direct transition-metal-free coupling between alkynes and α-bromo carbonyl compounds has been developed with ultraviolet (UV) light in aqueous media. This method represents a facile approach to synthetically useful ß,γ-alkynyl esters and amides stereoselectively from two readily available starting materials. As an example of the synthetic application of the products, the alkynyl esters were readily converted into allenoates.
RESUMO
A transition-metal-free coupling protocol between various alkenes and non-activated alkyl iodides has been developed by using photoenergy in water for the first time. Under UV irradiation and basic aqueous conditions, various alkenes efficiently couple with a wide range of non-activated alkyl iodides. A tentative mechanism, which involves an atom transfer radical addition process, for the coupling is proposed.
RESUMO
An efficient nickel-catalyzed protocol for C-S cross-coupling through the direct functionalization of 2-aryl-1,2,3-triazole N-oxide C-H bonds with aryl or alkyl thiols, or diphenyl disulfide has been developed. The targeted N(+)-O(-) bond cleavage can be observed during the reaction, and thus obviates the need to use an additional deoxygenation step. This new protocol for the preparation of thiolated 2-aryl-1,2,3-triazoles appears to offer good yields with high regioselectivity, mild conditions, and a wide substrate scope.
