The development of a short, simple, and efficient synthesis of amino‐ and hydroxymethyl‐substituted benzoxaboroles is described. The key step was the early stage incorporation of the boron by the borylation of an aniline. The formed boronates were then elaborated to the final products in two additional steps, in good yields.

Three novel arylboronate analogues have been developed and characterized as H2O2-activated anticancerprodrugs. These nontoxic molecules selectively react with H2O2 to release multiple DNA cross-linkers leading to highly efficient DNA interstrand cross-link (ICL) formation. They showed potent cytotoxicity towards a few cancer cell lines.

We evaluated the effects of the benzylic leaving group and core structure of arylboronates on H2O2-induced formation of bisquinone methides for DNA interstrand cross-linking. The mechanism of DNA cross-linking induced by these arylboronates involves generation of phenol intermediates followed by departure of benzylic leaving groups leading to QMs which directly cross-link DNA via alkylation. The QM formation is the rate-determining step for DNA cross-linking. A better leaving group (Br) and stepwise bisquinone methide formation increased interstrand cross-linking efficiency. These findings provide essential guidelines for designing novel anticancer prodrugs.
