Iron(II) and iron(III) complexes of 3,5-di-tert-butyl-o-benzoquinonemonooxime were synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic and electrochemical studies. Their ability to cleave DNA has been investigated under aerobic conditions at room temperature and in the presence and absence of H2O2 . The plasmid DNA pBR322 was effectively cleaved by these complexes in a concentration dependant manner.

A radical–radical cross-coupling reaction of phenols with tert-butyl nitrite has been developed with the use of water as an additive. This method allows the construction of C–N bonds under an air atmosphere at room temperature, providing the ortho-nitrated phenol derivative in moderate to good yields.

Resveratrol (R), a plant polyphenol, is known to reduce Cu (II) to Cu (I) generating reactive oxygen species that can cleave plasmid DNA. Here we report a surprising observation of a paradoxical synergistic effect between R and Cu whereby plasmid DNA cleaving / degrading activity of R-Cu increased progressively as the ratio of R to Cu was increased i.e., the concentration of Cu was successively reduced with respect to a fixed concentration R. Whereas cleavage of plasmid DNA occurred at low molar ratios of R to Cu, at higher ratios, complete degradation of DNA was achieved. By further increasing the ratio, whereby the concentration of Cu was reduced to very low levels, the DNA degrading activity of R-Cu was lost. This paradoxical synergistic effect is also seen with respect to eukaryotic genomic DNA and RNA. Since R-Cu may have anti-cancer and anti-viral activities, our findings may not only help to improve the therapeutic efficacy of R-Cu but also reduce its toxic side effects with the use of low concentration of Cu.

The palladium-catalyzed one-pot synthesis of 2,3-deoxy-3-keto aryl C-glycosides is achieved from glycals and anilines in the presence of tert-butyl nitrite and aqueous HBF4 under mild conditions. This one-pot method stereospecifically provides α- and β-aryl glycosides (≥19:1 by NMR) in good yields at room temperature. The configuration at the C-3 position in the glycal determines the anomeric selectivity (i.e., α or β) of the desired products.
