RESUMO
Herein, an atom-economical and eco-friendly electrochemical oxidation/cyclization of glycine derivatives through intramolecular Shono-type oxidative coupling is disclosed, leading to a variety of 2-substituted benzoxazoles in 51-85% yields. This oxidative cyclization proceeded in transition metal- and oxidant-free conditions and generated H2 as only a byproduct. Additionally, gram-scale reactions and a broad substrate scope demonstrated the synthetic usefulness of this protocol.

A highly efficient Rh-catalyzed hydrogenation of functionalized olefins has been realized by a new family of highly rigid chiral ferrocenylphosphine-spiro phosphonamidite ligands. Excellent enantiocontrol (>99% ee in most cases) was achieved with a wide range of α-dehydroamino acid esters and α-enamides. This practicable catalytic system was further applied in the scalable synthesis of highly optically pure key intermediates of cinacalcet and d-phenylalanine.

This protocol could be easily conducted on a gram-scale with a TON of 9700.
RESUMO
A dehydrogenative [3 + 2] annulation reaction of aniline derivatives and alkenes has been developed via the ruthenium-electron catalytic systems for the synthesis of versatile indolines. Electricity is used as a sustainable oxidant to regenerate the active Ru(II) catalyst and promote H2 evolution. This protocol is ecofriendly and easy to handle as it uses a simple undivided cell in mild conditions without the employment of metal oxidants.
RESUMO
We describe here a Cu-catalyzed and 4-OH-TEMPO-mediated sequential dehydrogenation/aza-Michael addition/annulation cascade reaction for the construction of N-alkyl 2-arylindoles from facilely available saturated ketones and 2-arylethynylanilines. This reaction shows high regioselectivity and tolerates a variety of functional groups. Moreover, 3-alkyl-substituted indoles can also be achieved when using 2-alkylethynylanilines as starting materials.
RESUMO
A traceless directing group assisted Co-catalyzed C(sp2)-H carbonylation of ortho-arylanilines for the synthesis of free ( NH)-phenanthridinones in metal-based-oxidant-free fashion was accomplished. This protocol employs diisopropyl azodicarboxylate as the CO source and oxygen as the sole oxidant, and provides good yields with various functional tolerance. The methodology has been applied for the total synthesis of PARP inhibitor PJ-34. Furthermore, the kinetic isotopic effect experiments reveal the C-H bond cleavage probably occurred in the rate-determining step.
RESUMO
A series of air-stable, easily accessible tridentate ferrocene-based diamine-phosphine sulfonamide (f-diaphos) ligands were successfully developed for iridium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones. The f-diaphos ligands exhibited excellent enantioselectivity and superb reactivity in Ir-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of ketones (for arylalkyl ketones, ( S)-selectivity, up to 99.4% ee, and 100â¯000 TON; for diaryl ketones, ( R)-selectivity, up to 98.2% ee, and 10â¯000 TON). This protocol could be easily conducted on gram scale, thereby providing a chance to various drugs.

RESUMO
RATIONALE: Seven unknown antibiotic impurities in cefonicid sodium were separated and characterized by a trap-free two-dimensional liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution ion-trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry (2D-LC/IT-TOF MS) using both positive and negative modes of electrospray ionization. Trap-free 2D-LC and an online demineralization technique made it possible to characterize cefonicid sodium under the conditions of the official standard, and the TIC chromatogram obtained by LC/MS was in conformity with the LC chromatogram obtained by the official analytical method in the peak sequence of impurities. METHODS: In the first dimension, the column was a GRACE Alltima C18 (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm), and the gradient elution used 0.02 mol·L-1 ammonium dihydrogen phosphate solution and methanol as mobile phase. In the second dimension, the analytical column was a Shimadzu Shim-pack GISS C18 (50 mm × 2.1 mm, 1.9 µm) with 10 mmol·L-1 ammonium formate solution and methanol as mobile phase. Full scan LC/MS was first executed to obtain the exact m/z values of the molecules. Then LC/MS2 and LC-MS3 experiments were performed on the compounds of interest. RESULTS: The structures of seven unknown degradation products in cefonicid sodium were deduced based on the high-resolution MSn data using both positive and negative mode. CONCLUSIONS: The problem of incompatibility between the non-volatile salt mobile phase and mass spectrometry was solved completely by multidimensional heart-cutting approaches and an online demineralization technique, which is worthy of widespread use and application for the advantages of stability and repeatability.
RESUMO
A novel phosphine-catalyzed [3 + 2] annulation of γ-substituted allenoates with succinimides was developed, which was successfully applied to the synthesis of 2-azaspiro[4.4]nonene-1,3-dione derivatives. The reaction afforded the desired products in moderate to high yields (up to 96%) with excellent regioselectivities and diastereoselectivities (up to >99 : 1 dr). A plausible reaction mechanism has also been proposed based on previous literature.
RESUMO
RATIONALE: The structures of photodegradation impurities in cilnidipine were studied by liquid chromatography/Q-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (LC/Q-Orbitrap MS) for the further improvement of the official monographs in Pharmacopoeias. The complete fragmentation patterns of impurities were investigated to obtain their structural information. Two pathways of photodegradation of cilnidipine were also explored to clarify the source of impurities in cilnidipine. METHODS: Chromatographic separation was performed on a Boston Group C18 column (250 mm × 4.6 mm, 5 µm). The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile/H2 O at a ratio of 75:25 (v/v). In order to determine the m/z values of the molecular ions and formulas of all detected impurities, full scan LC/MS in both positive and negative ion modes was firstly performed using a Thermo LC system coupled with a Q-Orbitrap high-resolution mass spectrometer. LC/MS/MS analysis was also carried out on target compounds to obtain as much structural information as possible. RESULTS: Five novel photodegradation impurities of cilnidipine were separated and identified based on the high-resolution MS/MS data. Impurity III was synthesized and its structure was confirmed by (1) H-NMR and (13) C-NMR data. Two photodegradation pathways to produce different photodegradation impurities were also revealed in this study. CONCLUSIONS: Among those impurities, impurities II and III were the main impurities which existed in the cilnidipine available on the market. Impurity II (the Z-isomer) was mainly produced when cilnidipine powder was directly exposed to daylight while impurity III (containing a piperidine ring) was mainly produced when cilnidipine was exposed to daylight in an ethanolic solution.

A series of air-stable ferrocenylphosphines LB1-LB8 were designed and prepared in high yields. (R,SFc)-ferrocenylphosphine LB5 was found to efficiently promote the asymmetric [3 + 2] cycloaddition of Morita-Baylis-Hillman carbonates with maleimides to afford the corresponding bicyclic imides with 84-99% ee and 67-99% yield. Interestingly, the configuration of these products was contrary to those reported in the literature.
RESUMO
3d-Metal catalyzed borrowing hydrogen (BH) reactions represent powerful and environmentally friendly approaches for the direct coupling of alcohols with nitriles to assemble various important branched nitriles. The development of simple and efficient ligands is a crucial issue in this field. In this study, we designed a series of readily available N,N-bidentate ligands that demonstrated good efficiency in the Mn-catalyzed BH reaction of alcohols and nitrile derivatives, yielding the targeted nitriles in moderate to good yields. Remarkably, the mildness and practicality of this protocol were further demonstrated by the successful synthesis of anipamil via a two-cascade borrowing hydrogen procedure.
RESUMO
Despite great advances in the development of modern anticancer drugs, it is still challenging to find safer and more effective ones due to a new spectrum of diseases and emerging drug resistance. Natural quinazolinones exist widely in natural plants, microorganisms and animals and possess a variety of biological activities. Over the past three to four decades, there has been a growing volume of literature concerning the effects of natural quinazolinones and their derivatives upon a variety of cancers. In this paper, 58 natural quinazolinones with anticancer activities were reviewed in term of their anticancer effects, cellular and molecular mechanisms, ability to overcome cancer drug resistance, and structure-activity relationship of anticancer quinazolinone representatives as well. This paper will offer new clues for discovering new and better lead compounds against malignant tumor and cancer drug resistance from natural quinazolinones.

A rhodium-catalyzed electrochemical regioselective annulation of 6-phenylpurines and 6-phenyl-7-deazapurines with alkynes has been developed. Electricity is used to recycle the active rhodium-based catalyst, promote the evolution of H2 and help in reducing the reaction temperature. This mild and green method enables a broad substrate scope and wide functional group tolerance, providing a new series of polycyclic purinium and 7-deazapurinium salts in high yields. Mechanistic studies show that the five-member rhodium(III) species and purinoisoquinolinium-coordinated rhodium(I) complex are the two key intermediates in this transformation.

BackgroundDeep learning has been widely used for glaucoma diagnosis. However, there is no clinically validated algorithm for glaucoma incidence and progression prediction. This study aims to develop a clinically feasible deep-learning system for predicting and stratifying the risk of glaucoma onset and progression based on color fundus photographs (CFPs), with clinical validation of performance in external population cohorts.MethodsWe established data sets of CFPs and visual fields collected from longitudinal cohorts. The mean follow-up duration was 3 to 5 years across the data sets. Artificial intelligence (AI) models were developed to predict future glaucoma incidence and progression based on the CFPs of 17,497 eyes in 9346 patients. The area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC) curve, sensitivity, and specificity of the AI models were calculated with reference to the labels provided by experienced ophthalmologists. Incidence and progression of glaucoma were determined based on longitudinal CFP images or visual fields, respectively.ResultsThe AI model to predict glaucoma incidence achieved an AUROC of 0.90 (0.81-0.99) in the validation set and demonstrated good generalizability, with AUROCs of 0.89 (0.83-0.95) and 0.88 (0.79-0.97) in external test sets 1 and 2, respectively. The AI model to predict glaucoma progression achieved an AUROC of 0.91 (0.88-0.94) in the validation set, and also demonstrated outstanding predictive performance with AUROCs of 0.87 (0.81-0.92) and 0.88 (0.83-0.94) in external test sets 1 and 2, respectively.ConclusionOur study demonstrates the feasibility of deep-learning algorithms in the early detection and prediction of glaucoma progression.FUNDINGNational Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC); the High-level Hospital Construction Project, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University; the Science and Technology Program of Guangzhou, China (2021), the Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT) of Macau, and FDCT-NSFC.
