A novel series of sulfone N-formylhydroxylamines (retrohydroxamates) have been investigated as matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) inhibitors. The substitution of the ether linkage of ABT-770 (5) with a sulfone group 13a led to a substantial increase in activity against MMP-9 but was accompanied by a loss of selectivity for inhibition of MMP-2 and -9 over MMP-1 and diminished oral exposure. Replacement of the biphenyl P1' substituent with a phenoxyphenyl group provided compounds that are highly selective for inhibition of MMP-2 and -9 over MMP-1. Optimization of the substituent adjacent to the retrohydroxamate center in this series led to the clinical candidate ABT-518 (6), a highly potent, selective, orally bioavailable MMP inhibitor that has been shown to significantly inhibit tumor growth in animal cancer models.

dimethylsulfonium salts using cheap, nontoxic, and bench-stable K4[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O as the cyanating reagent has been developed. The reactions proceeded well under base-free conditions with various sulfonium salts and provided aryl nitrile with yields of up to 92%. Aryl sulfides can be transformed to aryl nitriles directly via a one-pot process, and the protocol is scalable. Density functional theory calculations
