Porous Organic Polymer-Derived Nanopalladium Catalysts for Chemoselective Synthesis of Antitumor Benzofuro[2,3-b]pyrazine from 2-Bromophenol and Isonitriles
摘要:
An efficient strategy for the synthesis of benzofuro[2,3-b]pyrazines was developed. These tricyclic scaffolds were formed through a multistep cascade sequence, which includes double insertion of isonitriles and chemoselective bicyclization. In this reaction, a nanopalladium was used as a recyclable catalyst. Product 3w exhibited excellent anticancer activity toward T-24 (IC50 = 12.5 +/- 0.9 mu M) and HeLa (IC50 = 14.7 +/- 1.6 mu M) cells. We also explored the action mechanism of 3w on T-24 cells.

The preparation of fluorine-18 labeled o-fluorophenols at high specific activity is challenging and requires use of [F-18]fluoride ion as the radioisotope source. As a novel, alternative approach, we found that treatment of alpha-diazocyclohexenones with Selectfluor and Et3N center dot 3HF followed by HF elimination and tautomerization afforded o-fluorophenols regioselectively and rapidly. To adapt this chemistry to F-18 radiolabeling, using bromine electrophiles in place of Selectfluor gave the o-fluorophenol via an alpha-bromo-alpha-fluoroketone intermediate in lower but still reasonable yields.
