A series of HSO4- functionalized ILs was synthesized and used as efficient, green, and metal-free catalysts for benzylation. Notably, the catalytic system has wide substrate scopes and the ionic liquid catalysts were applied to investigate three different types of nucleophiles to give the desired benzylation products with moderate to excellent yields.

Though copper is elevated in the tumor tissue and plasma of patients with various malignancies, the molecular targets for copper binding agents in angiogenesis and tumor progression remain poorly understood. It is disclosed that one anti-angiogenic target for the copper binding agent tetrathiomolybdate is intracellular CuZn-superoxide dismutase (SOD1). A second generation tetrathiomolybdate analog, ATN-224, inhibits endothelial cell (EC) proliferation in vitro, binds to SOD1 and inhibits its activity without displacing bound copper ATN-224 can accumulate in ECs and inhibit CuZnSOD activity with an IC

similar to the IC

for EC proliferation, resulting in increased generation of intracellular reactive oxygen species. Inhibition of EC proliferation by ATN-224 in vitro is substantially reversed by a synthetic porphyrin SOD mimetic. Similar results were observed in vivo, where inhibition of angiogenesis by ATN-224 in a Matrigel plug model was also reversed by MnTBAP. Thus, a distinct molecular target for copper depletion therapy has been identified and SOD1 is now validated as a target for anti-angiogenesis. Methods for screening, or designing, such SOD1 inhibitors for use as angiogenesis inhibitors and anti-cancer agents are disclosed.

[reaction: see text] General, high-yield tandem electrophilic fluorination and modifiedJuliaolefination for the synthesis of fluoro olefins is reported. A series of alpha-fluoro 1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl sulfone-based synthons were synthesized via deprotonation-fluorination. Of critical importance for high-yield fluorinations were heterogeneous reaction conditions, as under homogeneous conditions only
of aliphatic sulfinates. This cost-effective method involves the use of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole under mild conditions and exhibits good yields (up to 78% over three steps). This approach provides an access to a wide range of functionalized sulfinates. A good tolerance with respect to diverse functional groups (alkene, alkyne, ether, acetal) was also noted.
