Diversity-oriented synthesis of N-aryl-N-thiazolyl compounds

An efficient approach toward the parallel solid-phase synthesis of highly diversified N-aryl-N-thiazolyl compounds is presented. The treatment of resin-bound aniline derivatives with Fmoc-isothiocyanate generated aryl thioureas which, following Hantzsch’s reaction with a variety of α-haloketones and cleavage of the solid support, led to the desired N-aryl-N-thiazolyl compounds in good yield and high purity.     

Design, synthesis and insecticidal activity of novel anthranilic diamides with benzyl sulfide scaffold

A series of novel anthranilic diamides with benzyl sulfide scaffold were synthesized,in which N-pyridylpyrazole moiety generally regarded as key pharmacophore was abandoned.The target compounds were characterized by ¹H NMR,¹³C NMR,¹⁹F NMR and HRMS.The preliminary bioassays indicated that half of the title compounds were endowed with good insecticidal activities against armyworm（Mythimna sepatara） at the concentration of 500 mg/L,Exhilaratingly,the synthesized compound 3a was also active against Tetranychus cinnabarinus at 100 mg/L.The difference in activities between the target compounds was influenced by the substituents,which provided some hints for further investigation on structure modifications.     

Synthesis,insecticidal activities,and SAR studies of novel piperazine-containing heterocyclic mono-/di-/tri-amide derivatives

Diamide compounds such as chlorantraniliprole, a famous anthranilic diamide insecticide targeting the insect ryanodine receptor (RyR), have received continuous attention in pesticide research during the past 15 years owing to their excellent insecticidal potentials. With the aim of discovering new heterocyclic pesticides used for crop protection, based on the structural information of compound M from the reported pharmacophore-based virtual screening for RyR insecticides and diamide compound, a series of new heterocyclic mono-, di-, and tri-amide derivatives containing piperazine moiety have been synthesized in this paper. The new compounds were identified and confirmed by melting point, ¹H NMR, ¹³C NMR and HRMS. Compound M was firstly validated for insecticidal activities, and the new synthesized compounds were all made comprehensive insecticidal evaluations against diamondback moth and oriental armyworm. The bioassay results showed that some of the compounds exhibit favorable insecticidal potentials, particularly some novel piperazine-containing heterocyclic mono-/di-/tri-amide derivatives such as 8g, 14a, 15a, 15g, 15i, 15j, 15k, 15l, and 15m could be used as new insecticidal leading structures for further study (e.g., towards diamondback moth, 15i-15m LC₅₀: 0.0022−0.0081 mg/L). The structure-activity relationships of the compounds discussed in detail provide useful guidance for further design and development of new insecticides.     

Synthesis of new unsymmetric N,N′-dipyridylurea derivatives by selenium and selenium dioxide-catalyzed reductive carbonylation of substituted nitropyridines

Without using phosgene, a series of new unsymmetric N,N′-dipyridylurea derivatives have been synthesized in moderate to good yields by the one-pot reductive carbonylation of substituted nitropyridines. These reactions utilize selenium or selenium dioxide as the catalyst, aminopyridine derivatives as co-reagents, and carbon monoxide as the carbonyl source.

Synthesis of p-amino-N,N′-dihydroxybenzamidine using a TBDMS protecting group protocol

A synthetic route to p-amino-N,N′-dihydroxybenzamidine is established using a TBDMS protecting group strategy starting with p-nitrobenzhydroxamic acid chloride, which is transformed to O,O′-bis(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-N,N′-dihydroxybenzamidine. Reduction with sodium dithionite occurs without degradation of the dihydroxyamidine functional group. Deprotection with ammonium fluoride is fast and efficient. This is important because no other possibility to synthesize this derivative has been found up to now. Furthermore, TBDMS protecting group strategy is proved to be adaptable to other substituted N,N′-dihydroxybenzamidines.

Synthesis, characterization, and X-ray analysis of new N,N′-disubstituted-1,4-diazepanes

The synthesis and structural characterization of six 1,4-diazepanes prepared by condensation of 2,2′-(1,3-propanediyldiimino)diphenols with glyoxal or 2,3-butanedione to give bisbenzoxazolidines and subsequent reduction with BH₃-DMS is reported. The new 1,4-diazepanes were obtained in yields between 75% and 83% and characterized by NMR, IR, and HRMS. In addition, the crystal structure analysis showed that the seven-membered ring in 1,4-diazepanes (12a, 12e, and 12d) and bisbenzoxazolidines (11a, 11c, 11f) adopt in all cases twisted chair conformation. Compounds 12a and 12e show disorder in the seven member ring, as a result of the conformational flexibility of the seven-membered ring.     

Synthesis,insecticidal activity and molecular docking study of clothianidin analogues with hydrazide group

A series of novel neonicotinoid analogues were designed and synthesized by introducing a hydrazide group into clothianidin. Their structures were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, and HRMS （ESI）. Preliminary bioassay showed that some compounds, Sb and Sg, exhibited good activity against soybean aphids （Aphis glycines） at 100 mg L ^-1. In addition, molecular docking with receptor was carried out to explain their different activity from clothianidin.     

Coordination compounds of N,N′-olefin functionalized imidazolin-2-ylidenes

N-Heterocyclic carbene ligands (NHC) were metalated with Pd(OAc)₂ or [Ni(CH₃CN)₆](BF₄)₂ by in situ deprotonation of imidazolium salts to give the N-olefin functionalized biscarbene complexes [MX₂(NHC)₂] 3-7 (3: M = Pd, X = Br, NHC = 1,3-di(3-butenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene; 4: M = Pd, X = Br, NHC = 1,3-di(4-pentenyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene; 5: M = Pd, X = I, NHC = 1,3-diallylimidazolin-2-ylidene; 6: M = Ni, X = I, NHC = 1,3-diallylimidazolin-2-ylidene; 7: M = Ni, X = I, NHC = 1-methyl-3-allylimidazolin-2-ylidene). Molecular structure determinations for 4-7 revealed that square-planar complexes with cis (5) or trans (4, 6, 7) coordination geometry at the metal center had been obtained. Reaction of nickelocene with imidazolium bromides afforded the η⁵-cyclopentadienyl (η⁵-Cp) monocarbene nickel complexes [NiBr(η⁵-Cp)(NHC)] 8 and 9 (8: NHC = 1-methyl-3-allylimidazolin-2-ylidene; 9: NHC = 1,3-diallylimidazolin-2-ylidene). The bromine abstraction in complexes 8 and 9 with silver tetrafluoroborate gave complexes [NiBr(η⁵-Cp)(η³-NHC)] 10 and 11. The X-ray structure analysis of 10 and 11 showed a trigonal-pyramidal coordination geometry at the nickel(II) center and coordination of one N-allyl substituent.

Synthesis of B-trisubstituted borazines via the rhodium-catalyzed hydroboration of alkenes with N,N′,N″-trimethyl or N,N′,N″-triethylborazine

Hydroboration of terminal and internal alkenes with N,N′,N″-trimethyl- and N,N′,N″-triethylborazine was carried out at 50 °C in the presence of a rhodium(I) catalyst. Addition of dppb or DPEphos (1 equiv.) to RhH(CO)(PPh₃)₃ gave the best catalyst for hydroboration of ethylene at 50 °C, resulting in a quantitative yield of B,B′,B″-triethyl-N,N′,N″-trimethylborazine. On the other hand, a complex prepared from (t-Bu)₃P (4 equiv.) and [Rh(coe)₂Cl]₂ gave the best yield for hydroboration of terminal or internal alkenes.     

Catalytic photocarboxylation of 1,1-diphenylethylene with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylbenzidine and carbon dioxide

Photocarboxylation of 1,1-diphenylethylene with N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) in MeCN under bubbling of CO₂ proceeded with high catalytic efficiency, giving 3,3-diphenylacrylic acid (DPA) and 3-hydroxy-3,3-diphenylpropionic acid (20). The turnover number (TON=(DPA+20)/TMB) reached 17. Similarly, 1-phenyl-1-cyclohexene yielded cis-2-acetamido-2-phenylcyclohexanecarboxylic acid with TON 5.9. As compared with related N,N-dimethylaniline derivatives, TMB is more resistant to photodecomposition, has the much larger absorbance in the S₀→S₁ transition, and has the lower quenching efficiency by CO₂. Probably these factors are partly responsible for the high TON observed for TMB.     

Copper(I) catalysis: Synthesis of N,N′-diarylated and N-aryl,N′-formylated chiral C2-symmetric diamines

Chiral N,N′-diaryl C₂-symmetric diamines and N-aryl,N′-formyl-trans-(1R,2R)-diaminocyclohexane are readily accessed by copper catalyzed N,N′-diarylation and N-aryl,N′-formylation of trans-(1R,2R)-diaminocyclohexane with aryl bromides. N,N′-diarylation using (R)-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diamine and iodobenzene gave the corresponding (R)-N,N′-diphenyl-1,1′-binaphthyl-2,2′-diamine derivative in 83% yield.

The antifungal activities of the title compounds against the fungi Rhizoctonia solan and Pyricularia orizae were screened.
