The coupling reaction of benzoic acid and nicotinic acid hydrazides with N- protected L-amino acids including valine, leucine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid and tyrosine is reported. The target compounds, N-Boc-amino acid-(N;-benzoyl)- and N- Boc-amino acid-(N;-nicotinoyl) hydrazides 5a-5e and 6a-6e were prepared in very high yields and purity using N-[(dimethylamino)-1H-1,2,3-triazolo[4,5-b]pyridin-1-yl- methylene]-N-methyl-methanaminium hexafluorophosphate N-oxide (HATU) as coupling reagent. The antimicrobial activity of the Cu and Cd complexes of the designed compounds was tested. The products were deprotected affording the corresponding amino acid-(N;-benzoyl) hydrazide hydrochloride salts (7a-7e) and amino acid-(N;- nicotinoyl) hydrazide hydrochloride salts (8a-8e). These compounds and their Cu and Cd complexes were also tested for their antimicrobial activity. Several compounds showed comparable activity to that of ampicillin against S. aureus and E. coli.     

High-yield synthesis of 14C labeled alicyclic amino acids with high specific radioactivity using potassium (14C) cyanide

In order to study the tumor specificity of synthetic nonmetabolizing amino acids, 10 different 14C labeled alicyclic amino acids (3a-3j) were synthesized in high yield and with high specific radioactivity. Carbon-14 labeled alicyclic hydantoins (2a-2j) were synthesized from a small amount of radioactive potassium [14C] cyanide and corresponding ketones (1a-1j). Th 14C hydantoins (2a-2j) thus obtained were hydrolyzed without isolation to give 14C labeled alicyclic amino acids (3a-3j). The overall radiochemical yields of the amino acids (3a-3j) from potassium [14C] cyanide were 55.6-93.2% with radiochemical purity more than 99%. Specific activities of these 14C labeled compounds (3a-3j) were 209- 250 MBq/mmol (5.66-6.75 mCi/mmol). When non-radioactive potassium cyanide was not added as a carrier, 1-aminocyclopentane[14C]-carboxylic acid (3b) and 1-aminocyclooctane[14C]carboxylic acid (3e) were synthesized in the yield of 64.9 and 19.0% respectively with the specific activity exceed more than 1.85 GBq/mmol (50mCi/mmol).     

Metal-free synthesis of aryl esters from carboxylic acids and diaryliodonium salts

An efficient arylation of carboxylic acids with diaryliodonium salts has been developed, giving aryl esters in high yields within short reaction times for both aromatic and aliphatic substrates. The transition-metal-free conditions are compatible with a range of functional groups, and good chemoselectivity is observed with unsymmetric diaryliodonium salts. Furthermore, steric hindrance in the ortho positions is well tolerated both in the carboxylic acid and in the diaryliodonium salt, yielding aryl esters that cannot be obtained via other esterification protocols.     

Tetrasubstituted furans by Pd(II)/Cu(I)-cocatalyzed three-component domino reactions of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones, nucleophiles and diaryliodonium salts

A novel Pd(OAc)(2)/CuI-cocatalyzed three-component reaction of 2-(1-alkynyl)-2-alken-1-ones, nucleophiles and diaryliodonium salts has been developed. The procedure allows the synthesis of tetrasubstituted furans in good to high yields under mild conditions.     

Regiospecific syntheses of functionalized diaryliodonium tosylates via [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]arenes generated in situ from (diacetoxyiodo)arenes

Ready access to (18)F-labeled aryl synthons is required for preparing novel radiotracers for molecular imaging with positron emission tomography. Diaryliodonium salts react with cyclotron-produced no-carrier-added [(18)F]fluoride ion to produce [(18)F]aryl fluorides. We aimed to prepare functionalized diaryliodonium salts to serve as potential precursors for producing useful (18)F-labeled aryl synthons, such as (18)F-labeled halomethylbenzenes, benzaldehydes, and benzoic acid esters. Such salts were designed to have one functionalized aryl ring, one relatively electron-rich ring, such as 4-methoxyphenyl or 2-thienyl, and a nonfluorine containing weakly nucleophilic anion. Generation of a [hydroxy(tosyloxy)iodo]arene from a functionalized (diacetoxyiodo)arene in situ followed by treatment with an electron-rich arene, such as anisole or thiophene, or with a functionalized arylstannane gave expedient regiospecific access to a wide range of functionally diverse diaryliodonium tosylates in moderate to high yields (44-98%). The described methodology broadens the scope for producing new functionalized diaryliodonium salts for diverse applications.     

The Synthesis of 1-Aryl-5-Fluorouracil

5-Fluorouracil (5-Fu,1)1 is an important antitumor drug. Some derivatives2,3 have shown better therapeutic efficacy than 5-Fu.

Concise synthesis of xanthones by the tandem etherification——Acylation of diaryliodonium salts with salicylates

An efficient synthetic method for multi-substituted xanthones was developed. The reaction of diaryliodonium salts and salicylates was employed for the preparation of the xanthones. This method proceeded through an intermolecular etherification-acylation to give target heterocycle in good yields (up to 91%). Multi-substituted xanthones were gained by shifting the substituent of salicylates or diaryliodonium salts.     

Metal‐Free Arylation of Oxygen Nucleophiles with Diaryliodonium Salts

Phenols and carboxylic acids are efficiently arylated with diaryliodonium salts. The reaction conditions are mild, metal free, and avoid the use of halogenated solvents, additives, and excess reagents. The products are obtained in good‐to‐excellent yields after short reaction times. Steric hindrance is very well tolerated, both in the nucleophile and diaryliodonium salt. The scope includes ortho‐ and halo‐substituted products, which are difficult to obtain by metal‐catalyzed protocols. Many functional groups are tolerated, including carbonyl groups, heteroatoms, and alkenes. Unsymmetric salts can be chemoselectively utilized to obtain products with hitherto unreported levels of steric congestion. The arylation has been extended to sulfonic acids, which can be converted to sulfonate esters by two different approaches. With recent advances in efficient synthetic procedures for diaryliodonium salts the reagents are now inexpensive and readily available. The iodoarene byproduct formed from the iodonium reagent can be recovered quantitatively and used to regenerate the diaryliodonium salt, which improves the atom economy.

Furthermore, a cyclic diaryliodonium salt was successfully employed in the arylation. The N-arylated products were obtained with retained enantiomeric excess.

Palladium-Catalyzed C8-Arylation of Naphthalenes through C−H Activation: A Combined Experimental and Computational Study

Herein, a direct C8-arylation reaction of 1-amidonaphthalenes is described. By using diaryliodonium salts as arylating agents, the palladium-catalyzed C−H activation reaction showed perfect C8 regioselectivity and a wide functional group tolerance.

Low melting inorganic salts of alkyl-, fluoroalkyl-, alkyl ether-, and fluoroalkyl ether-substituted oxazolidine and morpholine

N-Alkyl- and N-fluoroalkyl-substituted oxazolidinium- and morpholinium-based quaternary salts and ionic liquids have been synthesized and characterized. Reactions of N-methyloxazolidine (1) or N-methylmorpholine (2) with 3-fluoropropyl bromide or iodopropane in THF at 25 degrees C gave the quaternary salts (3a,b, 4a,b). These salts were metathesized with various metal salts to yield the corresponding ionic liquids (5a-h, 6a-i). N-Alkoxyethyl- and N-(fluoroalkoxy)ethyl-substituted morpholines (8-11) were prepared and quaternized with methyl iodide (8a-11a). Their corresponding ionic liquids (12-18) were obtained by anion exchange and characterized. For both series of compounds, nitrate, hexafluorophosphate, perchlorate, triflate, and bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide were utilized. Most of the final products are liquids at 25 degrees C and are thermally stable with long liquid ranges as determined by thermal gravimetric analyses. For compounds 12, 16, and 18, thermal stabilities of > or =400 degrees C were observed. All the new compounds were characterized by spectroscopic and elemental analyses. Their densities and viscosities were also determined.
