Mild thermolysis of the tetracyclic mesylate (6) in the presence of traces of mineral acid afforded a mixture of the rearrangement products (21) and (22) as well the σ-anti- bishomotetralin (20). On treatment with methanesulfonic acid in dichloromethane, compound (20) gives rise to the [5.4.1] propellene (21) which, on prolonged exposure to these reaction conditions, isomerizes to the mesyloxymethyl compound (22). Under the same conditions, the σ-anti- bishomoindan (4) is converted into the [5.3.1] propellene (3) which, in turn, slowly rearranges to the [4.3.1] propellene (23). A mechanistic rationalization of these observations is advanced which also accounts for the formation of the novel by-product (16) observed during Simmons-Smith cyclopropanation of allylic alcohol (15a).

Studies on a one-pot synthesis of novel multisubstituted 1-alkoxyindoles 1 and their mechanistic investigations are presented. The synthesis of 1 was successfully achieved through consecutive four step reactions from substrates 2. The substrates 2, prepared through a two-step synthetic sequence, underwent three consecutive reactions of nitro reduction, intramolecular condensation, and nucleophilic 1,5-addition to provide the intermediates, 1-hydroxyindoles 8, which then were alkylated in situ with alkyl halide to afford the novel target products 1. We optimized the reaction conditions for 1 focusing on the alkylation step, along with the consideration of formation of intermediates 8. The optimized condition was SnCl2·2H2O (3.3 eq) and alcohols (R1OH, 2.0 eq) for 1–2 h at 40 °C and then, base (10 eq) and alkyl halides (R2Y, 2.0 eq) for 1–4 h at 25–50 °C. Notably, all four step reactions were performed in one-pot to give 1 in good to modest yields. Furthermore, the mechanistic aspects were also discussed regarding the reaction pathways and the formation of side products. The significance lies in development of efficient one-pot reactions and in generation of new 1-alkoxyindoles.

ABSTRACTF901318 (olorofim) is a novel antifungal drug that is highly active againstAspergillusspecies. Belonging to a new class of antifungals called the orotomides, F901318 targets dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (DHODH) in thede novopyrimidine biosynthesis pathway. In this study, the antifungal effects of F901318 againstAspergillus fumigatuswere investigated. Live cell imaging revealed that, at a concentration of 0.1 μg/ml, F901318 completely inhibited germination, but conidia continued to expand by isotropic growth for >120 h. When this low F901318 concentration was applied to germlings or vegetative hyphae, their elongation was completely inhibited within 10 h. Staining with the fluorescent viability dye bis-(1,3-dibutylbarbituric acid) trimethine oxonol (DiBAC) showed that prolonged exposure to F901318 (>24 h) led to vegetative hyphal swelling and a decrease in hyphal viability through cell lysis. The time-dependent killing of F901318 was further confirmed by measuring the fungal biomass and growth rate in liquid culture. The ability of hyphal growth to recover in drug-free medium after 24 h of exposure to F901318 was strongly impaired compared to that of the untreated control. A longer treatment of 48 h further improved the antifungal effect of F901318. Together, the results of this study indicate that F901318 initially has a fungistatic effect onAspergillusisolates by inhibiting germination and growth, but prolonged exposure is fungicidal through hyphal swelling followed by cell lysis.

The hexacarbonyl compounds of chromium, molybdenum and tungsten react with the highly nucleophilic agent Li NiPr2 and in a subsequent alkylation with (Et3O)BF4 to give the carbene complexes (CO)5M[C(N′Pr2)OEt] (1, 3, 4). In case of W(CO)6 and Mo(CO)6 the novel biscarbene complexes cis(CO)4M[C(NiPr2)OEt]2 (2, 5) are additionally obtained. Reaction conditions, properties and spectroscopic data of the new compounds are reported. The molecular structure of cis(CO)4W[C(NiPr2)OEt]2 (4) was determined by X-ray crystallography

The direct transformation of Morita–Baylis–Hillman (MBH) adducts into molecules of interest is a crucial process wherein allylic hydroxy-protected or halogenated MBH adducts are commonly preferred. Herein, we report an azidophosphonium salt (AzPS)-catalysed straight forward protocol for synthesising structurally demanding (E)/(Z)-cinnamyl-1H-1,2,3-triazoles and halomethylcoumarins from MBH adducts. The novel methodology, efficient catalyst, and direct utilization of MBH adducts under mild reaction conditions qualify the reported procedures as powerful synthetic tools.

The proligand para-benzenediseleninic acid, (HO2SeC6H4SeO2H) (Figure), is the seleno analog to the commonly used MOF spacer proligand, terephthalic acid. Novel coordination polymers based on this proligand, and Mn(II), Fe(II), Co(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) or Zn(II) metal centers containing auxiliary water molecules, [M(O2SeC6H4SeO2)2(H2O)n], were synthesized. Depending on the reaction conditions, different pure or mixed phases can be produced. Crystal to crystal transformations of the novel coordination polymers were studied with powder X ray diffraction, infrared spectral analysis and thermal gravimetric analysis. These coordination polymers can be dehydrated with subsequent formation of new anhydrous coordination polymer phases. Some of these phases can be rehydrated to lead back to the crystalline starting materials or to new crystalline hydrated phases. We are working on the complete structural characterization of the phases.

Recently we reported a study of the thermodynamics of methanesulfonic acid and some of its derivatives. The foundation of these results was a measurement of the heat of reaction of S-methyl thioacetate with aq sodium hypochlorite, leading to methanesulfonic acid. We have reinvestigated this reaction and discovered that contrary to the initial stoichiometry experiments, the stoichiometry under the reaction conditions is not as was believed and that the heat of reaction observed was spuriously high. We have found a new reaction, that of sulfite ion with methyl methanesulfonate, which does allow a clean determination of the heat of formation of methanesulfonic acid. Revised thermodynamic quantities for methanesulfonic acid, methanesulfonyl chloride, and methyl methanesulfonate are reported here.Key words: sulfonic acid, heat of reaction, free energy of formation, SN2 reaction.

Aniline is a group of important platform molecules and is widely used in the synthesis of other high-value chemicals and pharmaceutical products. How to produce high-value anilines as the high-value chemical intermediates more efficiently and more environmentally has always been a research topic in the industry. Catalytic hydrogenation is an environmentally friendly method for preparing halogenated anilines. Traditional noble metals catalysis face cost and noble metals residue problems. To improve the purity of the product and the activity and recyclability of the catalyst, we prepared a Pd/Fe magnetic bimetallic catalyst supported on N-doped carbon materials to reduce nitrobenzene to aniline under mild conditions. The loading of Pd was very low, which was 1/10 of the content of common commercial precious metal Pd/C and Pt/C catalysts, which was only 0.5%. And the prepared bimetallic Pd/Fe@N/C catalyst showed excellent catalytic reactivity with the conversion rate of nitrobenzene > 99%, and the selectivity of aniline 99% under mild reaction conditions of 0.8 MPa H2 and 40 °C. A variety of halogenated and aliphatic nitro compounds were well tolerated and had been transformed to the corresponding target amine products with excellent selectivity. In addition, the novel N-doped graphene-encapsulated bimetallic magnetic Pd/Fe@N/C catalyst not only had magnetic physical properties, which was easy to separate, recover, and used for the recycling of the catalyst without metal leaching but also catalyzed highly selective reductive amination of aromatics was a green, economical and environmentally friendly reaction with the only H2O as a by-product.

MIL-53 and the MIL-53–Al2O3 composite synthesized by a solvothermal procedure, with water as the only solvent besides CrCl3 and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (BDC), were used as catalytic supports to obtain the novel MIL-53-based catalysts Ni(10 wt.%)/MIL-53 and Ni(10 wt.%)/MIL-53–Al2O3. Ni nanoparticle deposition by an adapted double-solvent method leads to the uniform distribution of metallic particles, both smaller (≤10 nm) and larger ones (10–30 nm). MIL-53–Al2O3 and Ni/MIL-53–Al2O3 show superior thermal stability to MIL-53 and Ni/MIL-53, while MIL-53–Al2O3 samples combine the features of both MIL-53 and alumina in terms of porosity. The investigation of temperature’s effect on the catalytic performance in the methanation process (CO2:H2 = 1:5.2, GHSV = 4650 h−1) revealed that Ni/MIL-53 is more active at temperatures below 300 °C, and Ni/MIL-53–Al2O3 above 300 °C. Both catalysts show maximum CO2 conversion at 350 °C: 75.5% for Ni/MIL-53 (methane selectivity of 93%) and 88.8% for Ni/MIL-53–Al2O3 (methane selectivity of 98%). Stability tests performed at 280 °C prove that Ni/MIL-53–Al2O3 is a possible candidate for the CO2 methanation process due to its high CO2 conversion and CH4 selectivity, corroborated by the preservation of the structure and crystallinity of MIL-53 after prolonged exposure in the reaction medium.

Methanesulfonic acid has been found to be a highly effective catalyst for a convenient and one-pot synthesis of 2-substituted benzoxazoles by the reaction of 2-aminophenol with acid chlorides, generated in situ from carboxylic acids. Aryl, heteroaryl, and arylalkyl carboxylic acids provided excellent yields of the corresponding benzoxazoles. The reaction conditions were compatible with various substituents such as chloro, bromo, nitro, methoxy, cyclopentyloxy, phenoxy, thiophenoxy, and conjugated double bonds. Benzoxazole formation was found to be general with respect to substituted 2-aminophenols.
